A MASSAGE TO MY SUBSCRIBERS: I have been trying to send you 'Death of a Hero' but unfortunately with the new Youtube system, I am not able to. I don't know what is wrong. Many of you have complained about it but, It is completely out of my control.I am so sorry. Gene
SOME NOTES IN REGARDS TO "DEATH OF A HERO", FROM A RESPONSE TO A FRIEND:
in order to see the motif behind this piece one has to look at the description that comes as a poem. It explains it all. It is a very sad piece but the Hero by his death is showing the direction to a bright future. He strongly believes that his cause is a just cause and confident that others would carry on with his noble dream. It is somewhat like an expression of utter sadness in leaving this world while knowing that the death is not futile, with great sense of hope, optimism and pride.The fight for freedom, like the death of Spartacus, is a symbol that talks about the same issue. Please see the following magnificent videos of " Spartacus Last Scene", " I'm Spartacus " , "Gladiators Fight", " Death Is the Only Freedom ", "Spartacus part 9" and part 13, from the movie Spartacus:

Although I agree with you that the last part, is a bit 'long' but, I intentionally wanted to do that. I wanted to show, that the Hero's death in its total sadness has a positive result unbeknownst to the adversary. I want to show: the most valuable outcome, that death has brought forth, is the continuity of the cause and the message that provides the most important element in the story. "Death of a Hero is a dance of the soul at the wedding in heaven between angels, I believe the death is only a beginning of a new, eternal life". Death here, is Just like a torch in darkness that opens the path. For someone who does not know the thoughts and the emotions -when composing this piece- and does not follow the 'story', it may sound a bit long and repetitious. But, not for me or for thoses who are aware of the idea behind it. I somehow imagined,- when composing this piece- that I have been given the torch and I am the one who must carry it in darkness. The constantly burning flame is a necessity, to traverse the path. Just like repetitions of heart beats that are never ever too many, too long or boring. Or, like a fish that cannot become tired of water. I want to tell to the dying Hero: You will never die. We will carry forward the torch that you held high. We will never give up or abandon your dream. Please die in peace great Hero!
Please know that, this piece for me is extremely emotional and touching. 'Death of A Hero' is my ultimate expression of hope, optimism and a promise, a promise against prevalent agonizing pain and sorrow, -despite of so many wars, injustices, suffering, death, hunger, starvation, destructions, misery, economic and social deprivations in our world today- the future is very bright. The humanity will prevail ! And one day, humanity will eventually find its way to peace, justice, freedom, harmony, brotherhood, and happiness. I want with deep sense of empathy convey this message through my composition. Gene
Death of A Hero
******************
Oh fallen Hero,
brave and strong
defying to the end
you succumbed
to death....
how agonizing?
Oh great Hero,
rest in peace,
you'll never die
and your legend
is immortal!
Oh brave Hero,
rest in peace,
as thousands
follow your path,
as your death,
is a beginning,
an onrush
and not an end!

Israel was born in Haifa, Israel. He studied painting for five years at the Anvi Institute Tel Aviv with M. Zisselmann. Israel later studied two years with Herold Rubin. He is a member of the Artist Associations of Tel Aviv and Berlin.
In 1988, Israel moved to Berlin where he lived for twenty years. In his last seven years in East Berlin, he re-painted previous Art works. It was a transformational experience painting with sacred geometry. Most of the paintings have not yet been shown in Europe and now are with Israel in Mt. Shasta, CA. In that twenty year period in Berlin, he also went through initiation work with the frequencies of Brilliance up to Level 16 and Manna Teachers. For Israel, the healing work, as well as his paintings, are to transform and change old structure and patterns as a way to the heart and love.
Israel brings with him the experience of meeting wonderful people and receiving energies in workshops and developing centers in Israel, Germany, Netherland , Belgium, California, Minnesota, Argentina, Brazil and now in Mt Shasta and Oregon.
