Dr. Tony Cicoria - Struck by Lightning, Music Savant

“Just because something bears the aspect of the inevitable one should not, therefore, go along willingly with it.” - Philip K. Dick, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer

And so it goes, death is not the end of knowing or even an end in general, however it might seem from the vantage point of the living. Fortunately and/or not, we can benefit from some highly credible objective overviews acquired by those who have had a near death experience.

11/19/16 Wendy's Coffeehouse with Dr. Tony Cicoria - NDE


No waiting in line. Death happens. Near Death Experience is the wildcard, offering a return from an in-between, altered state that illuminates and defines a broader scope on living, giving life greater depth and added dimensions.

The best part about NDE (more info Amazon: Evidence of the Afterlife via NDERF), each engagement is unique. Dr. Tony Cicoria was and is an Orthopedic Surgeon who could not have dreamed the outcome delivered by his NDE. 

Neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote about him in 2007: The New Yorker.
More writing from Oliver Sacks - The New Yorker 
He has several books. Try this one: Musicophilia

Struck by lightning and given a bit of musical inspiration to test his wits and his fortitude, endurance and tenacity produce a concert pianist and music of the spheres. 

Here is Tony performing his Lightning Sonata - no doubt about it - every note, every polychord delivered with divine purpose - and for whatever purpose that might be - each is Heaven sent.
 




Dr. Tony Cicoria, CD Baby - order Notes from an Accidental Pianist and Composer

My first interview with Dr. Cicoria, Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio

Touching on our quantum connections, I kept hearing music when thinking about interviewing him. In looking up the CD, I laughed when I saw the suggestions for similar works. The songs I heard most frequently sounded like Liberace and I had to google to find something.

The dramatic open kept repeating in my head. Hearing the Lightning Sonata, it made perfect sense. Liberace/Rachmaninoff YouTube and Gershwin/Rhapsody in Blue/Liberace

There in the three listening suggestions for similar music was: Rachmaninoff/YouTube Video BBC Symphony Orchestra


In my interviews I have seen a theme, reconciling an NDE is a challenge. Meaning shifts, understanding drifts and new revelations dawn. No matter the case, each story provides a window of awareness into an exotic and ever-nearing realm some might remember as home.

I am so glad Dr. Cicoria was prodded by Dr. Sacks to give his music a space to be heard. Someone here will experience a life changing result in the listening! The magic is in the combination of the keys.  



Near Death Researcher Kenneth Ring: New York Times: You never recover your original self
 
-"After having a near-death experience, people believe the end of life isn't; they believe in some sort of life after death. Death vanishes for them. There's only life. They are so aware of what life is. One man said, ''I finally knew what it was like to be really alive.''
