The overwhelming emotional power conveyed through the divinely inspired singing of Dimash Kudaibergen overwhelms even the most horrific, shocking, and/or machiavellian geopolitical drama that preoccupies those of us concerned with the depressingly corrupt and divisive state of our home planet.

Listen to Dimash, and it’s as if the great weight of sodden, depressive, sluggish, stuck emotional energy that has held the collective unconscious of humanity in thrall for centuries, if not millennia, subtly expands, loosens, flows into a deep, nourishing emotional river of grief that unites us all as we open to the joy that accompanies its transformation.

The six-octave, perfect-pitch voice of Dimash, singing in 13 languages, alchemizes the deep unconscious of all of humanity.

Is it not significant that he was born and grew up in Kazakhstan, one of the aggrieved nations the U.S. empire tried to ruin? Is it not significant that Dimash started singing on stage at five, and that for years he has inspired millions upon millions in not only his home nation, but also China, Russia, Korea, Japan and other points east?

Listen to even one song; know that millions of humans, in places you’ve never heard of, much less visited, places that the now fading U.S. empire still thinks of as 3rd world, to be conquered and ravished or ignored, are listening too. That for each of us, no matter our nationality, our language, our beliefs, our histories, are equally moved. That our hearts open and our spirits lift as our souls deeply engage, beginning to stir into motion that long-stored grief that, until now, we’ve tried to ignore or pretend wasn’t there, or project as fear or hate onto the Other.

Dimash unites us. This 28-year-old, 6’3″ Kazakh with the divine singing voice that flows from a heart and soul that invokes wonder and awe, just by his presence on stage wherever he goes, fulfills his unusual activist destiny: to center each of us into our own immortal souls, and to gather all of us as one collective body, longing for Love.

I’m still absorbing his songs. Here’s one he just now introduced, on September 23, 2022, apparently three years in the making. To me, The Story of One Sky, which he calls a Requiem, feels like a Creation Myth, the new creation myth for humanity as we birth ourselves anew and arise as one, from the horrors of century upon century of the brutality of war.

Tomorrow I will investigate his astrological chart, which, thankfully, we have!
