We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Joel Jadus a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Joel, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
Enter The Sun (ETS) of UnityFreedom.Org (UFO) / The Way of Compassionate Autonomy = “I AM SAFE, I AM FREE, I AM LOVED, I AM HAPPY”™️
The birthing and sharing of this music & message and practical pathway of living called The Way of Compassionate Autonomy has come after a very difficult journey of suffering in “Hell on Earth” to now living happily in “Heaven on Earth”. More can be learned at UnityFreedom.Org and in the video series “The Way of Compassionate Autonomy” on YouTube.
It is with great humility, forgiveness, compassion and gratitude that I share all of this. I owe my life to all of our ancestors, to my family, my community, my teachers and most importantly to GOD, the OneLove. Though my first direct re-awakening to GOD (and journey through the levels of Hell) occurred in 1996 at the age of 23, I have been experiencing the pulsing Infinity and a strong connection to GOD since I was a young child. Of course I didn’t know that it was GOD because I often had a deep, overwhelming sense of being imprisoned and outcasted as if this human life was some form of punishment. This said, following that traumatic initial experience, I started meditating and dedicating my life to the liberation of all beings from the root of suffering. Shortly thereafter, in 1997, I first received what I later realized was a transmission of the Mind of GOD (Buddha-mind / Everlasting Light of Happiness) from John “Daidoshi” Loori, Zen master/Abbot at Zen Mountain Monestary in Mt Tremper, NY. I was unable to process or handle it at that time and spent many years struggling with my connection to GOD, mostly feeling hopeless while experiencing being torn between worlds. Thus, I often turned to alcohol to numb myself, deeply wishing that GOD would either stop communicating with me so I could have a “normal” life, or just end my human life and take me back to it. Most of my life was truly an experience of being in a nearly inexplicable, unbearable version of Hell on Earth, completely imprisoned and completely alone, with no way to connect and no way to escape. Then, by GODs infinite mercy and redemption upon my soul, the message of Unity&Freedom started to awaken some faint spark of Hope within my heart, around 2005, with the beat of an African djembe drum. This moment came while playing in a music ministry world drum & multi-instrumental ensemble called “SoulFire” at First Unity Spiritual Campus of St Petersburg, Florida.
Reconnected to African roots through the drum, I followed GODs guidance and began facilitating community Healing & Empowerment drum circles that ultimately birthed the message of Unity&Freedom. In addition to these activities, I also played in a spiritual celtic band called “Druid Roots”, with which I played the djembe and drums from various cultures. Soon I began facilitating my own and others healing through sound healing services, including chanting Sanskrit mantra Kirtans, and channeling Enter The Sun sonic light encoded Galactic Earth Music from the crystal core heart of Mother Earth known as the music and lyrical songs of Unity&Freedom.
Although I wasn’t conscious of it at the time, these sacred musical experiences allowed me to reconnect to ancestral bloodlines while being connected to GOD and grounded to the heart of Mother Earth. Prior to, and throughout, this time I also endured incessant inner torment and periods of nearly unbearable trauma, suicidal thoughts and suicidal experiences that included going through death while re-experiencing the suffering of past lives, and the suffering of our past ancestors. These experiences included having “kundalini awakenings”, during some of which I was beaten by police and or chained, locked up in a straight jacket, tied down in mental hospitals or in hospitals, suffering baker acts while being “between worlds”. Throughout this time, however, it was the medicine music, the mind body practices, constant prayer and an unbreakable faith in GOD along with my beloved family and community that kept me alive. GOD told me time and time again that there was a greater purpose and that some day I would understand, and that the music was the key. For this, I am forever humbled and grateful beyond words.
As my healing progressed and I stayed connected to the music and mind-body practices, I was better able to handle my connection to GOD and to heal on deeper levels, beyond what I had ever imagined possible. Over time, these experiences began to interweave and heal infinite past lives and “lifelines” that can be considered ancestral bloodlines starting on this planet with African blood and then to various cultures blood along the tree of life on this planet and within my heart. Ultimately, this allowed me to continue healing my heart and soul through my current family bloodlines on my fathers “Jadus” side (mixed race/predominantly Sicilian) and through my mothers “MacSweeney” side (predominantly Irish/Celtic). Although I conceptually knew from a young age that I had lived infinite past lives as every race and been both the abuser and the abused on infinite occasions, these embodied experiences allowed me to heal through nearly unbearable emotional, physical, mental and spiritual pain – finally into wholeness – by GODs grace upon my heart and soul. This lifetime has truly been a journey through Hell on Earth to Heaven on Earth – all thanks, all praise and all Glory to GOD, the OneLove, Amen.
For nearly 20 years, as part of my souls path of mercy and redemption, this music, these messages and embodiment practices have saved my soul. By GODs Grace, I have been allowed to share them with others in many settings such as schools, criminal correction/mental health/substance abuse recovery facilities, a half-way house and with families, churches, youth groups, music & holistic festivals, yoga studios, transformational settings, and more – with all ages, all races and all backgrounds and belief systems.
After so many years of community service and doing my best to embody “The Way of Compassionate Autonomy”, I was ultimately liberated into Everlasting Happiness, by GODs infinite grace, mercy and redemption upon my soul. At that time, it was revealed that the message of Unity&Freedom held a greater purpose, not just for myself and the St Petersburg community, but it was revealed by GOD in our heart that this message of Unity&Freedom is the infinite pulse of LOVE of Christ that would help to heal our entire planet into Harmony. GOD then revealed within our heart that this message could be clearly described by the motion of the cross-cultural pellet drum of many indigenous peoples (ultimately leading back to the African pellet drum). Versions of this drum are found in other indigenous cultures by different names: ie. Damru (Tibet, Mongolia, India), Taogu Drum (China), Den-Den Daiko (Japan), Nodo Drum (Korea). This drum signifies the heartbeat of LOVE within our planet, every human being, and the fundamental nature of GOD as happiness, love and harmony. This infinite pulsing motion also describes the birth of the bridging of Art, Science & Religion through connecting Sacred Geometrical patterns with scientifically measured/elucidated phenomena through fields aquantum mechanics, astrophysics and universal cosmology. (Please watch this video for a full explanation.)
From that point- GOD led us to the first birthplace on this planet of the message of Unity&Freedom, a small country named Malawi, known as “The warm heart of Africa.” Therefore, we believe that the true nature of the Universe/GOD and the path to the embodiment of Christ were all originally birthed from Africa, the birthplace of all humans and races on this planet – our mother people and mother continent.
Further- We believe that throughout history, there was a misunderstanding of the teachings of Christ. Though mostly well-intentioned, Christians went to “save” Africans and indigenous cultures across the planet to teach christianity, but the truth is that these cultures were already embodying a deeper understanding of the nature of the Universe/GOD and the true nature of Christ in the form of the heartbeat of LOVE through the drum, music, and dance – not living as Godless savages. They were already connected to the heart of Mother Earth and they existed in a more embodied state of happiness, love and harmony within themselves, in community and with Mother Earth.
We were reawakened by and “saved” by the message of Unity&Freedom through the heartbeat of the drum, music and dance, and the embodiment of the LOVE of Christ- and therefore our mission is to share this message of Harmony and non-violence with other Christians and to loyally give back to the birthplace of this message, and Africa in general, as a starting point for reparations and to provide a path of redemption for our planet to heal these wounds of slavery, torture, abuse and African diaspora, that has ultimately led throughout history to war and division within and between cultures and countries across our planet.
We DO NOT believe any race is better or worse or that any race or any people should be glorified or blamed, but that it our souls purpose and responsibility to heal within ourselves and with each other through the power of LOVE (mutually interdependent Safety and Freedom) that both unites us and ultimately sets us free in HAPPINESS and HARMONY.
As part of our mission, not only have we been and are helping to awaken our local community through these embodiment practices to be their own unique expressions and wayshowers of this fundamental message of Unity&Freedom- but we also plan to travel the the US and world to share these practices with ALL who are open to receive. We will give back to ease African/African Americans suffering (the birthplace/race of the drumming practices that saved my soul and the mother of our human race; birthplace/race of US slaves that suffered in the creation of this US nation); Irish peoples suffering (the birthplace of the Druid Roots drumbeats that grounded me to mother earth and helped to heal me, my mothers family bloodline “MacSweeney”); suffering of the poor in India (birthplace of Sanskrit mantras that helped to keep my soul intact through the power of the sacred sound current); Native Americans (the original caretakers of US soil “Sacred Lands” that suffered in the creation of this US nation); wounded and suffering US veterans (those who have sacrificed themselves for allowing this Unity&Freedom message to be born on US soil and who have fought to preserve the principal of Unity&Freedom). We will also give back to ease the suffering of all of those experiencing being imprisoned, outcasted and hopeless in the mental health treatment system and in our correctional/prison systems.
GOD has also given us the goal to play Enter The Sun music, especially the song “Children of Love”, in every US state and across the world and ultimately bring it all back to Africa and help this world awaken to happiness, love and harmony through the power of music and love thus helping to bridge all arts, science and religion into a World of Global Happiness!
Joel, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
While in many ways, I am a “normal” human being on this planet, (i.e. I raised two children who are now young men, played college football, coached community youth & high school sports, play music, worked as an R&D scientist etc) … I am also an art & music medicine messenger or medium on this planet, known as a R.E.A.L. G.E.M.♾️ P.O.R.T.A.L. to Happiness, Love & Harmony:

What this essentially means is that I am a humble servant-guide/channel/transmitter of Radiant Embodied Activation Light (sonic-light-encoded art, music & lyrics) that doesn’t come from me but through me (from higher intelligence beings) and helps activate, heal, empower and ultimately liberate all beings capable of receiving this information on this planet… for the betterment of all beings here on this planet and in all realms. As I have submitted to this information over time, I have steadily become what could be known as a liberated being (liberated within the Everlasting Light of Happiness) in the human form, creating art through TimeSpace in infinite forms. All thanks, All praise, All glory to G.O.D. (Galactic Organizing Dynamic) the OneLove, Amen.
