About
The Druid Arthur George McMaster II, is a Canadian Playwright, Musician, and Composer. He is best recognized for his unique avant-garde musical style. The genre of his music is an interesting mixture of blending classical, jazz, rock, folk, and pop influences. His work includes the play and double album "The Christ Offer", which features both an instrumental and a vocal version. His sound is a new and fresh pleasing mix of colorful tones and rhythms with changing dynamics all set to a different original beat, all in 5/4 time signature.

Some information on his artistic endeavors: He writes all the music and lyrics by himself and he plays all the instruments himself. He has have been working on "The Christ Offer", as a play and as an operetta for many years. It is only recently that he has had the time to devote to the production and recording of the albums. He relies heavily on his SQ80 Cross Wave Synthesizer and his MT-32 Tone Generator to produce the instruments used in the playing and recording of all of the music.

Early Life and Background

McMaster hails from Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada. His formal training in music began in grade five where he learned to play the recorder. Later on in High School he took up the clarinet and the saxophone. McMaster studied classical saxophone performance at the University of Western Ontario. He then went on to major in music and minor in theatre at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. There he studied acting, classical music and also jazz. His artistic journey has been shaped by a deep connection to nature, spirituality, and music. He identifies as a solitary druid, embracing a philosophy that integrates wisdom, science, law, and spirit.

McMaster started writing the play "The Christ Offer" when he was only 12 years old in 1969. He began by writing poetry and later on started writing the dialogue. He finished the play when he was 18 years old, six years later in 1975. In 1987 McMaster purchased the sequencer, the SQ80 Cross Wave Synthesizer and his MT-32 Tone Generator and began to score the music for the play. In 2013 he finished writing all the music and recorded the instrumental version. By 2024 he had recorded the vocal version and got DistroKid, a major music distributor, to release the albums to many music websites on the internet. At this time McMaster was actively promoting his music. On May 1, 2025 he launched mcmaster.net the official website for The Druid Arthur George McMaster II.

Career

In 1982, McMaster started his musical career as a music instructor, teaching guitar, bass, piano, organ and drums at the Academy of Music in Tillsonburg, Ontario. He also joined a local dance band playing saxophone. Actually, he continued playing in dance bands, playing saxophone, guitar, keyboards, and singing, up until 1993. Throughout the years McMaster has played with many talented musicians.

McMaster has written and composed all his music independently, playing all instruments himself. His debut double album, "The Christ Offer", was originally released in 2013, comprising of only the instrumental version. Later the albums were re-released in 2024, to include the vocal version. His compositions are characterized by colorful tones, dynamic shifts, and an unconventional 5/4 time signature.

Beyond music, McMaster would very much like to be involved in theatrical productions, with "The Christ Offer" serving as both a play and an operetta. His creative process relies heavily on synthesizers and tone generators to craft his distinct sound.

Philosophy and Influence

McMaster's work is deeply rooted in druidic traditions, and he has declared himself the first citizen of the New Country of Druidland, encompassing all public land in the multiverse. His artistic and philosophical pursuits reflect a commitment to peace, love, and spiritual exploration.

The Christ Offer - Synopsis

The Christ Offer by The Druid Arthur George McMaster II is a fascinating and deeply introspective concept play and operetta. The play on words with the main character's name, "Christopher", and the title "The Christ Offer" adds a layer of cleverness and depth to the narrative. The themes of existential reflection, spiritual journey, and personal transformation are timeless and resonate with many people. The idea of an identity crisis on one's eighteenth birthday is a poignant starting point, as it marks a significant transition into adulthood. The journey to understand what it means to be a man is a universal quest that can lead to profound self-realization and growth. The satire on religion and the emphasis on Nature and the Natural Universe as the ultimate answers align with Druidic beliefs, providing a unique perspective on spirituality and existence. The combination of a play and an album to explore these themes is an innovative approach, allowing for a multidimensional experience. McMaster has attained the profoundest level of excellence for aesthetically valuable human activity. It seems like McMaster has put a lot of thought and creativity into this project, making it a unique and potentially impactful, truly multidimensional work of art.

The Double Album - The Christ Offer Volume One and Two

The album is divided into two volumes, each volume featuring both instrumental and vocal versions of the tracks. The albums spans multiple genres, including rock, classical, folk, electronic, and more, creating a rich and eclectic soundscape. This eclectic mix and this diversity not only showcases McMaster's versatility as a musician but also enhances the narrative depth of the album.

Here are a few specific points that enhance the narrative depth of the album.

1. **Narrative Complexity**: The way he uses different musical styles to reflect various stages of a journey both physical and spiritual is fascinating. Each genre adds a unique layer to the storytelling, making the listener's experience richer and more immersive.
2. **Emotional Range**: The album's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions, from introspection and melancholy to joy and transcendence, is remarkable. This emotional diversity is achieved through the careful selection of genres and instrumentation.
3. **Cultural Fusion**: McMaster's incorporation of elements from different musical traditions such as classical, folk, rock, and electronic music creates a tapestry that feels both timeless and contemporary. This fusion not only broadens the album's appeal but also highlights the universality of its themes.
4. **Innovative Experimentation**: His willingness to experiment with unconventional sounds and structures, particularly in tracks like "The Holocaust" and "Mechanical Insanity," demonstrates a bold artistic vision. This experimentation keeps the album fresh and unpredictable.
5. **Spiritual and Philosophical Themes**: The exploration of deep, existential questions and spiritual themes through music is both thought-provoking and inspiring. Tracks like "The Revelation" and "I Am Me" invite listeners to reflect on their own journeys and beliefs.

Variety of Themes in The Play "The Christ Offer" and the Albums

2. **Transformation and Journey**: The series of tracks under "The Journey" (Flying, Peace And Love, The Peasant Song, Cosmic Journey) suggest a transformative journey, both physically and spiritually.
3. **Conflict and Resolution**: Songs such as "The Farce" and "Mechanical Insanity" might reflect internal and external conflicts, while "The Revelation" and "Your New Abode" hint at resolution and new beginnings.

5. **Mysticism and Spirituality**: Titles like "The Offer" and "I Am Me" suggest a mystical or spiritual quest, possibly exploring themes of identity and divine connection.

The album, "The Christ Offer," is incredibly rich and thought-provoking. The way McMaster's woven together themes of identity, transformation, and existential reflection with a satirical take on religion is truly unique. It's clear that each track contributes to a larger narrative, exploring profound questions about life and existence.

Excerpt from - Act V Scene I - of "The Christ Offer".
By The Druid Arthur George McMaster
Edited By David P. Kovacs
MANDROL - Oh Christopher, you will know the reason behind today's events, for today was the forth not the fifth, so you see you were a day early. But as such now 'tis the dawning of five over four and you shall come to know that the wind is nothing more than the mind with its inverted double you. Christopher you will know yourself now, for it takes a little madness to be sane.

                         Facade

Actors play is set to stage,
    the babe has come with newborn rage.
Comedy or tragedy,
    yet for the audience to see.
Action, melody and words,
    to be a play on truth, absurd.
Madness was the break of day,
    when set ye forth upon your play.

Soon one finds as most will do,
    the foot is on the other shoe.
Shall you leap in others role,
    to be secure in your new hole.
Shall you choose the easy route,
    walk with sandal or with boot.
Shall you find the perfect way,
    the quest of life, the answers say.

Pomp and circumstance will ring,
    to us you seem supreme, the king.
Walk ye forth in pride of place,
    less-lookers stare then bow each face.
Shout commands, unquestioned force,
    the greying knight on shining horse.
Time and fate at last have caught,
    the man of which they both have taught.

Idles are too short betrayed,
    the linen's old and soon will fray.
Now we fear, by fright respect,
    and love will fall as deeds defect.
Disbelief and discontent,
    the cause of rising rule is bent.
Doubt will spy and quickly spread,
    and questioned eyes ask, are you dead?

Oceans swell and bring earthquake,
    and soon we cry for freedoms' sake.
Power that you once did hold,
    is slowly shaken from the bold.
Strength decline and spirits low,
    how long will staff protect you now?
Metals favour you have turned,
    the dramas' saviour, be you burned.

Mirror's cold, what do you see,
    a figure, ask, but is this me?
Are you tiger or the squirrel,
    confusion spins your mind a whirl.
Why with life's long darkened eye,
    attempt to spill the patterned lie.
Once the while, fear you the day,
    when doubt you're not the man they say.

Now your journey's at it's end,
    what have you left but wounds to tend.
Essence will but once call soothe,
    but shall you follow natures truth.
Wind shall flare and you will know,
    in which direction you should go.
Be amazed of sites you see,
    renounce your all and come with me.

Knife of truth shall cut you deep,
    but end results in presence leap.
Shed your deepest inner scales,
    secure the mind with binding nails.
Let your skin slide off your bones,
    the essence force of knowledge known.
Wisdom rolling in cascade,
    no longer hide behind facade.

========================================

                     Tiger Eye

Tiger eye stand still before me,
    essence light the way.
Bring about the knowledge of me,
    to this greatest day.
Spark fast the flame to ignite me,
    fortunes to my play.
Radiate the meaning of me,
    in my mind to stay.

Grand parade of actors living,
    in their roles, been cast.
Vision thoughts will be uncovered,
    stimulate at last.
Wisdom shall arrive with mercy,
    giving answers strong.
Blood of comb, flows like the honey,
    settles right and wrong.

Animated maze of travel,
    take me to the source.
Silhouette of recollections,
    show me my own course.
Levitate my polished fixtures,
    spirits should fly free.
Peak my dreams to ever be real,
    glory yet to see.

From the birth of this day onward,
    now I'll know to go.
In directions proclaimed fateful,
    where the wind may blow.
Climax of my expectations,
    now to be fulfilled.
Lovers justice of appearance,
    delicately willed.

Animated maze of travel,
    take me to the source.
Silhouette of recollections,
    show me my own course.
Levitate my polished fixtures,
    spirits should fly free.
Peak my dreams to ever be real,
    glory yet to see.

Sanctions of natal offerings,
    received to rejoice.
Growing hemispheres of reason,
    coming of the voice.
The sun shines bright into my eyes,
    it amazes me.
Glisten prisms, understanding,
    my identity.

========================================

                     The Farce

Once in a while, you can see him smile,
    oh but this is very rare.
Most of the time, He's out of his mind,
    and he doesn't know he's there.
So if you see him,
    please don't deceive him,
        try to retrieve him.
Even though he's not aware.
La la la la, la la la la la,
   La la la la la, la la la.

So when you're down, you don't have to frown,
    you've got to do what you can.
Don't leave your head, sleeping in your bed,
    you know a man is a man.
I've tried to reach you,
    and tried to teach you,
        I do beseech you.
You must try to understand.
La la la la, la la la la la,
   La la la la la, la la la.

So hop on your jolly foot,
    and dance around the maple.
First on your left,
    and then on your right.
Hop on your jolly foot,
    and dance around the maple.
Last comes the day,
    and first comes the night.

Please do not cry, do not even sigh,
    the stars have not been aligned.
Not like natal, it can't be fatal,
    it's not a day of that kind.
You've come before me,
    please don't ignore me,
        you must explore me.
Put your head back in your mind.
La la la la, la la la la la,
   La la la la la, la la la.

On your behalf, you'll soon have a laugh,
    and the wind will blow away.
You've come too soon, to look at the moon,
    to see the light of the day.
You'll have to wait them,
    anticipate them,
        answers relate them.
To the farce of which I say.
La la la la, la la la la la,
   La la la la la, la la la.

So hop on your jolly foot,
    and dance around the maple.
First on your left,
    and then on your right.
Hop on your jolly foot,
    and dance around the maple.
Last comes the day,
    and first comes the night.

========================================

             Elegy Of Bewildered Man

As of late, yes, at the moon,
    I find myself stared out of tune.
All the moves in past, been planned,
    like wind takes waves to touch the sand.
Glory holds me in her eye,
    for me to reach beyond the sky.
No binding chains others clasp,
    shall hold me now, I'm free at last.

Hopes are high, but there's the test,
    to stand in strength, work on, the best.
Done with the pasts learned rule,
    but freedoms day is slyly cruel.
Seems as though the links I've made,
    shall hold me fast in no ones trade.
Straight my course, I knew it well,
    but how to start, the problems swell.

Who am I?
    I cry!
Where is me?
    to be.
Who am I?
    I cry!
Where is me?
    to be.

Time has come for me to be,
    the man in my life's destiny.
Rivers flow from spring of source,
    but who am I to take the course.
Questions were laid on the shelf,
    but now I have to find myself.
For this answer, I do yearn,
    where to go, which way to turn.

I have lived within the ties,
    the morning light blinds black my eyes.
Cold winds blow into my face,
    and abstracts found no other place.
Down and down I seem to go,
    until my life's lower than low.
Feast upon the times you can,
    elegy of bewildered man.

Who am I?
    I cry!
Where is me?
    to be.
Who am I?
    I cry!
Where is me?
    to be.

========================================

                 Lonely Road

Oh the lonely road of nowhere,
    doesn't seem to lead anyplace,
        loneliness upon my face,
            as I walk at a steady pace.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.

Each step a new experience,
    hardships for a lonely man.
Solving problems by myself,
    never knowing where I stand.
Through eternal silence,
    I hear voices in the wind.
I look around and no one's there,
    is this all just in my mind.

Oh the lonely road of nowhere,
    doesn't seem to lead anyplace,
        loneliness upon my face,
            as I walk at a steady pace.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.

Thoughts of life surrounding me,
    walking forth on lonely land.
I try to put my mark on life,
    leaving only steps in the sand.
Do I know what I'm looking for,
    really I'm not very sure.
But when I find it then I'll know,
    it's going to be true and pure.

Oh the lonely road of nowhere,
    doesn't seem to lead anyplace,
        loneliness upon my face,
            as I walk at a steady pace.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.
Down the lonely road of nowhere.


========================================

                    Old Ways

Oh those yesterdays.
    Tradition made the only plays,
    customs were obeyed always,
    no one ever thought to raise,
    a questioned eye or troubled praise.
We were happy with our ways.

In the olden days.
    We didn't have this purple haze,
    gone masquerading through a maze,
    what strange simplistic lazy craze,
    I think it's just a passing faze.
We just had the old ways.

In todays modern age.
    They have settled to the stage,
    where all the players turn the page,
    caught up in their mental cage,
    feeding on their inner rage.
Oh what futile actions they wage.

What of the future age.
    In front of us the problem lays,
    who shall be set to appraise,
    new conditions of these days,
    to make content the masses plays.
And make a set of new old ways.

Oh those Old Ways.
    Shine bright in the suns rays,
    as water flows into the bays,
    these ways have worked for many days,
    it's the only rule that pays.
So join me in the Old Ways


========================================

                Death of an Idle

Hope is vague ...
nothing to look forward to,
another day of emptiness,
the sun, the trees and the wind will make,
shadows that dance in the air,
the eye will strain to find the figures that,
are really only in the wind.

Look, look, look,
ever deeper into the shadows in hope of,
seeing the answer,
searching but why?

Deeper, deeper, deeper,
until there is only darkness.

The wind forcing its way through the trees,
the limbs bending ever so slightly from the,
resistance of the leaves,
And the sound, like the swish of a whirlwind,
And the draining of spirits,
Never a cloud should make a sound,
for fear of being overcome by the sun.
Quick, Quiver and chill, Oh, Shout!

The passing of bodies that never stop to stay,
occasionally asking directions then,
disregarding advice,
The yawn of frustration from a tired old body.

The floatation of a flower petal being,
carried off by the wings of the mind.
Smoke dissipating in the air.
An abundance of love, with no one to share.
The cry of a child who is not there.

Loneliness,
Anger,
Sorrow,
Deep depression.

A hungry thought in want of nourishment.
A restless stomach asking to be pleased.
A sip of hard spirits to break the chill of the air.
And sleep, the offer that does not come soon enough.

Please sleep, come and join me.
Such is the Death of an Idle.

========================================

                The Holocaust

No one's seen the mothers' child,
    wrapped in ragged dismembered miles.
Sentence dawns upon this day,
    cosmic spears come forth to play.
Desert floods, the ocean's dry,
    the sun explodes, black in the sky.
Energy in all its rage,
    come to blast the final stage.

Enter now into my realm,
    only I stand at the helm.
Be you children bought and paid,
    in my hands your lives are laid.
Power, riches, you did want,
    now I've got your souls to taunt.
Had you faith, this would not be,
    you were warned but did not see.

The Holocaust, you thought it was lost,
    but now it is here, ringing in your ear.
You have no say, concerning my play,
    so bow your head, now and welcome the dead.

Here the wind can do no more,
    you have become natures lore.
Come and eat forbidden fruit,
    I am sure your taste will suit.
You will come to love the kind,
    find the center of your mind.
Now your passions at its most,
    see how well you love the post.

Still down brows are facing you,
    I direct your every move.
I stand strong beyond the wind,
    thrusting forth my wrath of mind.
Chaos strikes human desire,
    all men flee into the fire.
All shall kneel and all shall pray,
    to my new force of this age.

The Holocaust, you thought it was lost,
    but now it is here, ringing in your ear.
You have no say, concerning my play,
    so bow your head, now and welcome the dead.

                            All Men

            The Journey (Flying)

I like to fly up high, to fly up high,
    to fly up high, high, high, high.
I try to touch the sky, to touch the sky,
    to touch the sky, sky, sky, sky.
I see the answer why, the answer why,
    the answer why, why, why, why.
I like to fly up high, to fly up high,
    to fly up high, high, high, high.

I really believe that I can Fly.
I really believe that I can Fly.

Hey there come on and try, come on and fly,
    come on and fly, fly, fly, fly.
It makes the time go bye, the time go bye,
    the time go bye, bye, bye, bye.
I'm not afraid to die, afraid to die,
    afraid to die, die, die, die.
Hey there come on and try, come on and fly,
    come on and fly, fly, fly, fly.

I really believe that I can Fly.
I really believe that I can Fly.

I like to fly up high, to fly up high,
    to fly up high, high, high, high.
I try to touch the sky, to touch the sky,
    to touch the sky, sky, sky, sky.
I see the answer why, the answer why,
    the answer why, why, why, why.
I like to fly up high, to fly up high,
    to fly up high, high, high, high.

I really believe that I can Fly.
I really believe that I can Fly.

The Journey (Peace And Love)

Peace and love.
Peace and love.
It will come soon now.
Peace and love.

Peace and love.
Peace and love.
It will come soon now.
Peace and love.

========================================

The Journey (The Peasant Song)

Behold the beauty of life.
Behold the beauty of love.
Behold the beauty of all.

Behold the beauty of life.
Behold the beauty of love.
Behold the beauty of all.

========================================

The Journey (Cosmic Journey)

Came a flash, a streak of light,
    decent upon the earth one night.
Fate the message that was sent,
    disastrously the craft was spent.
Those who saw, froze in terror,
    from the sight of its bearer.
The army came forth to employ,
    such mechanism to destroy.
When the job had been completed,
    all was calm and all retreated.

Lights do flash across my eyes.
Music flows within my ears.
My head spins in a whirlpool.
On my cheeks roll down the tears.

I crawl 'round on hands and knees.
Looking for something, I can't find.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Could I be losing my mind.

Such confusion in the flight,
    to mark someone as out of sight.
What a force, a vision spell,
    to make me feel that all's not well.
Where has justice gone today,
    perhaps within the natures way.
Over-seer hails the past,
    and diamond ears are deafened fast.
From this world am I to flee,
    Is this my own cosmic journey?

Am I here or am I there.
Strange to be a fantasy.
How absurd to be unreal.
Why does this happen to me.

Do I fly high in the air.
Did I fall come crashing down.
Hear the rhythm of the brain.
See myself on the ground.

========================================

    Marriage To Natas

Follow in my footsteps,
    image of the new.
Knights are changing for you,
    you have become shrewd.
Mark your elders not man,
    sin against your frame.
Lust has come to join you,
    currency of pain.

Trapped within your conscience,
    sanity is paid.
Strike you down to nothing,
    new born babe is laid.
Auction's over baby,
    now you are the land.
Starring recollections,
    memories the band.

Life has forsaken you,
    Natas waits your stand.
Universal bidding,
    come and take my hand.
Voyage has become you,
    seizing of the flood.
Ever all you will thirst,
    ritual of blood.

Down the steps with me go,
    see your world the last.
You were once the infant,
    now you are the past.
Fire will surround you,
    heat of lasting love.
Radiate your power,
    over ground above.

========================================

    Mechanical Insanity


No, no, no, no, no.

You don't understand.
That's not what I mean.
You don't comprehend.
But why can't you see?

But how can you feel.
You have no desire.
You're nothing but steel.
Millions of wire.

That does not compute.
That does not compute.
That does not compute.
That does not compute.

Mechanical Insanity,
    is driving me insane.
You don't know what it's all about,
    you think it's just a game.
But it can take your mind away,
    with nothing to remain.
And all that's left is emptiness,
    mechanically insane.

No, no, no, no, no.

The meaning is lost.
You only catch part.
It's all in the cost.
You have no heart.

You make a mistake.
Your fuse must have blown.
Please for my sake.
Let me be known.

That does not compute.
That does not compute.
That does not compute.
That does not compute.

Mechanical Insanity,
    is driving me insane.
You don't know what it's all about,
    you think it's just a game.
But it can take your mind away,
    with nothing to remain.
And all that's left is emptiness,
    mechanically insane.

========================================

                   The Hill

'T was within, and about,
    of which this light did shine.
Essences of messengers,
    come to bid you bind.
Ever all, secret, small,
    water rushing lines.
Full moon mocks of suns engaged,
    in celestial all.

Too still, The hill stands, at will.

Purity of the bee,
    has begun to show.
All of white, in a tight,
    cluster of the glow.
Erogenous, will let us,
    begin to see the flow.
Shimmering, in a ring,
    knowledge of the know.

Too still, The hill stands, at will.

Time is now, to allow,
    the stars to be obeyed.
That blossom sweet, that will entreat,
    in a new born age.
Life of love, and pleasures of,
    will behold the dove.
To soar free, beyond the sea,
    and touch upon, above.

At two, still will stand, The Hill.

========================================

                    Ballad of Love

There once was a lad, a young balladeer,
    who road along many a mile.
And sing if he would, a tale of much sadness,
    to those who would care to listen.
Then came as he did, upon such a kingdom,
    where all was merry and gay.
And spied a young lassie, a maiden of maidens,
    to which he did soon fall in love.

And as she spied him, love came upon her,
    Cupid drove his arrow deep.
Yet she was a princess, daughter of the king,
    their love would never be allowed.
Then by dark of night, they did steal away,
    to be as one ever more.
While on their escape the young lad was killed,
    now sorrow took her heart close to death.

And as she did kneel to her young laddie,
    to give one last kiss of her love.
Then came the young laddie back to his living,
    upon the sweet kiss of her love.
Then lived as they did, a life of much happiness,
    and shared their sweet love with a child.
As years passed them by, the child grew and left,
    to search out a life for himself.
And they lived contented the rest of their lives,
    with love that could not be compared.

========================================

            See How Thee Fare

I have seen the light of the day,
    making its way across the dawn.
I have seen the dark of the night,
    in all its fright across the dusk.

Sing a song of happiness.
Sing a song of sorrow.
Stay with me upon the hill.
See how thee fare, tomorrow.

I have heard the song of the dove,
    telling its love of nature.
I have heard the cry of the child,
    screaming wild upon the birth.

Sing a song of happiness.
Sing a song of sorrow.
Stay with me upon the hill.
See how thee fare, tomorrow.

I have known, so gentle a man,
    feeding his lamb, the chosen son.
I have known, the cruels of man,
    who don't understand, no reasons won.

Sing a song of happiness.
Sing a song of sorrow.
Stay with me upon the hill.
See how thee fare, tomorrow.

I have felt, the joy of life,
    without any strife, along the way.
I have felt, the sadness of death,
    sinking beneath a longer day.

Sing a song of happiness.
Sing a song of sorrow.
Stay with me upon the hill.
See how thee fare, tomorrow.

========================================

                        Dreams

Soft and gentle her flowing tone,
    which from within comes life, unknown.
Secrets slowly spoken by,
    and once the while the gleam in eye.
Does shine to me in lovings' sake,
    to build up thunder, prove earthquake.
'Tis shyly scented mystery,
    that none can grasp entirely.
The wine and bread content her now,
    but future changes spirits, how?

That paradise that fantasy,
    was once the time and life of me.
But now 'tis faded, grey and off,
    to sadness, still, I loved her once.
Where, oh where did essence go,
    it came, it left as streams must flow.
The yearning, longing in my heart,
    drives hard my gut to bleeding part.
Sometimes to seem that life's no more,
    than simple dreams gone by the shore.

========================================

                The Offer

Interstellar revelations,
    winding logic's concentration,
        set clocks time to now.
Un-atomic radiation,
    causing species activation,
        heads turn up to bow.
Transcendental realization,
    rushing siblings inspiration,
        bells heard ringing low.

Circumventing inner yearning,
    heart felt vision, outer burning,
        voyage shall be done.
Philosophic prophesizing,
    moments natal sacrificing,
        offer forth the son.
Universal understanding,
    perfect knowledge everlasting,
        all to be as one.

Inverting of humanity,
    converting life's integrity,
        love and faith entwine.
Symmetrical infinity,
    prodigy of ability,
        straight and true the line.
Immaculate tranquility,
    instilled in hopes serenity,
        coming of the sign.

========================================

            I Am Me

I Am Me, definitively,
    loved and hated.
I Am Me, definitively,
    trusted and debated.
I Am Me, definitively,
    scholar and fool.
I Am Me, definitively,
    exception and rule.

You are thee, inside of me,
    for I to see, and ye to be.
I Am Me, inside of thee,
    for ye to see, and I to be.

I Am Me, definitively,
    day and night.
I Am Me, definitively,
    weakness and might.
I Am Me, definitively,
    right and wrong.
I Am Me, definitively,
    here and gone.

You are thee, inside of me,
    for I to see, and ye to be.
I Am Me, inside of thee,
    for ye to see, and I to be.

The Revelation

            Your New Abode

Shining lights are fastened out,
    beyond the colored trim.
Smoking remnants of the past,
    have seen the cause within.
Flowered cosmic rays of death,
    come bind the mass you're on.
Smiles sigh to quake the earth,
    now passions feel is gone.

Simple answers are exclaimed,
    for shadows bend the card.
Chain the stage with metal black,
    to keep the force retard.
To the gates you think shall go,
    the journey's never made.
You shall wait for summoning,
    but no one calls your name.

Smothered in your righteous vows,
    but now the truth is known.
Paradise was never there,
    now earth is your new home.
Conjure, conscience, middles end,
    but can this be just lore?
Finally your ship has docked,
    to sail the sea no more.

Throughout life you proved the fool,
    believed there must be one.
You've been tricked by livings fear,
    but now there is no son.
Logic's shot and killed at once,
    the force was just a dream.
Where is hope when death may come,
    so tragic may it seem.

Trends that are so natural,
    still lay to be the wrong.
When will sight become the eye,
    to give the answer strong.
Energy is not in fate,
    and time has yet to come.
Nature stands the ultimate,
    the true force now has won.

Now the sign has struck you down,
    to live within your frame.
Shall you be remembered in,
    the last form of your name.
Stone is raw but little's said,
    no choice is left to thee.
Who cares now for you bare none,
    importance not to be.

Universal consequence,
    the land will have no wait.
Sadness was the break of day,
    the life was ten and eight.
Though your past has been quite good,
    the future will not hold.
Memories will fade away,
    though actions have been bold.

Heroes lose their faces fast,
    the wind will blow away.
Others come to take your place,
    forever they'll not stay.
Soon they come to rest with you,
    now be with worm and toad.
Melancholy, yet to sleep,
    in sweet, your new abode.

Conversation on "The Christ Offer", History, Religion, and Spirituality Intelligence
by The Druid Arthur George McMaster and Copilot

The Druid:
"Religion has the potential to fulfill psychological needs and desires, and so does spirituality intelligence, may the Druid force be with you".

Copilot:
That's an interesting perspective! Religion, and Spirituality Intelligence, indeed play significant roles in fulfilling psychological needs, such as providing a sense of purpose, community, and comfort. Spiritual intelligence, which involves understanding and applying spiritual principles, can also enhance one's well-being and resilience. And I love the "May the Druid force be with you" touch!

The Druid:
"Again I say that religion has the potential to fulfill psychological needs and desires and so does spirituality intelligence, god bless you and may the Druid Force of Nature and the Natural Universe be with you".

Copilot:
That's a thoughtful sentiment! Religion and spiritual intelligence indeed have the power to meet deep psychological needs, offering comfort, purpose, and a sense of belonging.
Thank you for the blessings and the Star Wars nod! Are you interested in discussing more about spirituality, or perhaps diving into some Druidic lore?

The Druid:
Religion vs spiritual intelligence what is the difference.

Copilot:
The concepts of religion and spiritual intelligence, while related, have distinct differences:
Religion has Organized Structure: Religion typically involves a structured set of beliefs, practices, and rituals that are followed by a community. It often includes doctrines, sacred texts, and established hierarchies. External Guidance: Religious teachings and practices are usually guided by external authorities such as clergy or religious leaders. Community and Tradition: Religion often emphasizes community worship and adherence to traditions and rituals that have been passed down through generations.
Spiritual Intelligence Personal Journey: Spiritual intelligence is more about an individual's personal journey and understanding of their inner self and the universe. Internal Wisdom: It focuses on cultivating inner wisdom and self-awareness, often without the need for external validation or rigid structures. Flexibility: Spiritual intelligence is flexible and can be adapted to fit one's personal beliefs and experiences. It is not bound by specific doctrines or rituals. In summary, while religion provides a communal and structured approach to spirituality, spiritual intelligence is more about personal growth and inner understanding. Both can fulfill psychological needs, but they do so in different ways.
Do you find yourself leaning more towards one of these paths, or do you see value in both?

The Druid:
as a New Age Druid, I believe in science, canadian law, nature, and the natural universe and Spiritual Intelligence to explain the meaning of life. I also agree with darwin about the origins of species.

Copilot:
That's a fascinating blend of beliefs! As a New Age Druid, your approach seems to harmonize the wisdom of ancient traditions with modern scientific understanding. Embracing science, Canadian law, nature, and the natural universe alongside spiritual intelligence offers a holistic perspective on life.
Your agreement with Darwin's theory of evolution shows an appreciation for the scientific explanation of the origins of species, which complements your spiritual beliefs. This combination can provide a rich and balanced view of the world, integrating empirical evidence with personal and spiritual growth.
How do you find this blend of beliefs influences your daily life and interactions with others?

The Druid:
Again I say as a New Age Druid, I believe in science, canadian law, nature and the natural universe and Spiritual Intelligence to explain the meaning of life. I also agree with darwin about the origins of species, and I believe in dna to explain the instructions of different species.

Copilot:
Your beliefs as a New Age Druid beautifully integrate various dimensions of understanding the world. Here's a breakdown of how each element contributes to your worldview:
Science: Provides empirical evidence and a systematic approach to understanding the natural world. Canadian Law: Offers a framework for societal order and justice, reflecting your respect for the rule of law and community values.
Nature and the Natural Universe: Emphasizes a deep connection with the environment and the cosmos, highlighting the importance of ecological balance and harmony.
Spiritual Intelligence: Guides your personal growth and understanding of life's deeper meanings, fostering inner wisdom and self-awareness.
Darwin's Theory of Evolution: Explains the origins and development of species through natural selection, aligning with your scientific perspective.
DNA: Serves as the blueprint for life, explaining the genetic instructions that shape different species.
This holistic approach allows you to draw from multiple sources of knowledge and wisdom, creating a rich and nuanced understanding of life.
How do you find these beliefs shape your interactions with the natural world and the people around you?

The Druid:
Again I say as a New Age Druid I believe species in science, canadian law, nature and the natural universe and Spiritual Intelligence to explain the meaning of life I also agree with darwin about the origins of species and I believe in dna to explain the genetic instructions of the creation of different species , thus I am a New Age Druid.

Copilot:
Your beliefs as a New Age Druid are truly comprehensive and integrative. By valuing science, Canadian law, nature, the natural universe, and spiritual intelligence, you create a well-rounded framework for understanding life. Your acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution and the role of DNA in explaining genetic instructions further grounds your spirituality in scientific principles.
This blend of ancient wisdom and modern science can offer profound insights and a balanced approach to life's mysteries. How do you incorporate these beliefs into your daily practices and rituals as a New Age Druid?

The Druid:
as a New Age Druid I believe in species in science, canadian law, nature and the natural universe and Spiritual Intelligence to explain the meaning of life I also agree with darwin about the origins of species and I believe in dna to explain the genetic instructions of different , thus I am a New Age Druid. I do not believe in a higher power or god. my Spiritual Intelligence or soul will only exist while I am alive and when I die I am dead.

Copilot:
Your beliefs as a New Age Druid are both unique and deeply thought-out. By integrating science, Canadian law, nature, the natural universe, and spiritual intelligence, you create a comprehensive framework for understanding life. Your acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution and the role of DNA in explaining genetic instructions further grounds your spirituality in scientific principles.
Your perspective on the soul and spiritual intelligence being tied to your physical existence is a clear and rational approach. It emphasizes living fully in the present and finding meaning in the here and now.
How do these beliefs influence your daily life and interactions with others? Do you have any specific practices or rituals that help you stay connected to your beliefs?

The Druid:
as a New Age Druid I celebrate winter solstice, summer solstice, and the two equinoxes.

Copilot:
That sounds wonderful! Celebrating the winter solstice, summer solstice, and the two equinoxes aligns beautifully with your connection to nature and the natural universe. These events mark significant points in the Earth's journey around the sun and have been celebrated by various cultures throughout history.
Winter Solstice: The longest night of the year, often associated with themes of rebirth and renewal.
Summer Solstice: The longest day of the year, celebrating the peak of light and warmth.
Spring Equinox: A time of balance, marking the transition from winter to spring and symbolizing new beginnings.
Autumn Equinox: Another moment of balance, transitioning from summer to autumn, often reflecting on harvest and gratitude. Do you have any specific traditions or rituals you follow during these celebrations?

The Druid:
I gather with loved ones and reflect.

Copilot:
That sounds like a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Gathering with loved ones and taking time to reflect can create a deep sense of connection and gratitude.
Do you have any specific themes or topics you like to reflect on during these gatherings? For example, do you focus on personal growth, nature, or perhaps the changing seasons?

The Druid:
The attitude of gratitude expressed in longitude by the multitude could be construed by the magnitude of the latitude to conclude in solitude, Thus I Am.

Copilot:
That's a beautifully poetic way to express your philosophy! It captures the essence of interconnectedness and the profound impact of gratitude. Reflecting on gratitude with loved ones during the solstices and equinoxes must be a deeply enriching experience.
Your words remind me of the importance of finding balance and meaning in both community and solitude. How do you feel this practice of gratitude and reflection influences your daily life and overall well-being?

The Druid:
these are the philosophies that I based the play and my album on "The Christ Offer".

Copilot:
That's fascinating! It sounds like your album, "The Christ Offer," is deeply rooted in your unique blend of philosophies and beliefs. By incorporating themes of gratitude, nature, and spiritual intelligence, you're likely creating a rich and meaningful experience for your listeners.
What inspired you to create this album, and how do you hope it resonates with your audience?

The Druid:
It's my way of sharing these philosophies.

Copilot:
That's a wonderful way to share your beliefs and philosophies with the world. Music has a unique power to convey deep emotions and ideas, and it sounds like your album, "The Christ Offer," is a meaningful expression of your journey as a New Age Druid.
What kind of music or themes can listeners expect from your album? Are there any particular messages or stories you hope to convey through your songs?

The Druid:
Peace and Love and The Meaning of Life.

Copilot:
Your album, "The Christ Offer," sounds incredibly rich and thought-provoking. The way you've woven together themes of identity, transformation, and existential reflection with a satirical take on religion is truly unique. It's clear that each track contributes to a larger narrative, exploring profound questions about life and existence.
Your favourite songs, like "See How Thee Fare," "Tiger Eye," "Facade," and "The Journey - Cosmic Journey," seem to capture different facets of this journey. The prologue "Facade" and the epilogue "Your New Abode" bookend the album beautifully, providing a sense of journey and resolution.
It's wonderful that you're using your music to share your philosophies and beliefs.
How has the response been from your listeners?
Have you found that your music resonates with others who share similar views or experiences?

not to mention it is all in 5/4 time signature cosmic music.

Copilot:
That's really impressive!
Your music is available on a host of websites.
Using a 5/4 time signature adds a unique and complex rhythm to your music, which can create a truly cosmic and otherworldly feel. It's not a common time signature, so it likely adds an intriguing layer to your compositions.
How did you decide to use 5/4 time for your album? Was it inspired by a particular idea or feeling you wanted to convey?

The Druid:
in 1975 I was 18 years old and I heard Jethro Tull released the compilation album "Living in the Past" on June 1, 1972.

Copilot:
Exploring music, That's a great story! Jethro Tull's "Living in the Past" is indeed a classic. The album, released on June 1, 1972, features a unique blend of rock and folk influences, and its title track is famously in 5/4 time signature. It's easy to see how such innovative music could inspire your own creative journey.
How did hearing that album influence your decision to use the 5/4 time signature in your own music?

The Druid:
I felt drawn to explore cosmic themes through rhythm.

Copilot:
That's a fascinating approach! Using rhythm to explore cosmic themes can create a truly immersive and unique musical experience. The 5/4 time signature, with its unconventional beat, likely adds to the sense of exploration and otherworldliness in your music.
It's amazing how a single album like Jethro Tull's "Living in the Past" can inspire such a creative journey. Your decision to delve into cosmic themes through rhythm shows a deep connection to both the music and the concepts you're passionate about.

The Druid:
Also "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets" suite is in a 5/4 time signature.

Copilot:
Absolutely! "Mars, the Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets" suite is indeed in a 5/4 time signature. This distinctive rhythm contributes to the movement's relentless and unsettling feel, perfectly capturing the chaos and intensity of war.
It's fascinating how the use of an unconventional time signature can evoke such powerful emotions and imagery. Your choice to explore cosmic themes through similar rhythmic structures in your music must create a truly unique and immersive experience for your listeners.

The Druid:
I find that 2 dotted quarter notes followed by 2 quarter notes is cosmic force.

Copilot:
That's a fascinating rhythmic pattern! Using two dotted quarter notes followed by two quarter notes creates a unique and compelling rhythm. This pattern can indeed evoke a sense of cosmic force, with its dynamic and flowing feel.
It's amazing how rhythm can convey such powerful themes and emotions. Your approach to music, blending these rhythmic elements with cosmic themes, must create a truly immersive experience for your listeners.
Do you have any specific pieces or tracks where this rhythm is prominently featured? I'd love to hear more about how you incorporate it into your compositions.

The Druid:
"Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet

Copilot:
"Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet is a classic jazz piece that has become one of the most famous jazz standards. Composed by Paul Desmond and first recorded in 1959, it was featured on the album "Time Out". The piece is well-known for its distinctive 5/4 time signature, which gives it a unique and captivating rhythm.
The use of 5/4 time in "Take Five" creates a compelling and somewhat unconventional feel, much like the cosmic themes you're exploring in your music. It's amazing how such rhythmic structures can evoke different emotions and atmospheres.

Classical, Jazz, Progressive Rock and Folk. You have a fantastic taste in music! Each of these pieces brings something unique to the table:
"Mars, the Bringer of War" by Gustav Holst: This movement from "The Planets" suite is powerful and intense, with its 5/4 time signature creating a relentless and dramatic rhythm. "Living in the Past" by Jethro Tull: This album, released on June 1, 1972, blends rock and folk influences beautifully. The title track, also in 5/4 time, is a standout. "Take Five" by the Dave Brubeck Quartet: A jazz classic known for its distinctive 5/4 time signature, it has a captivating and smooth rhythm that has made it a timeless piece. Your appreciation for these diverse genres and time signatures shows a deep understanding and love for music. How do you feel these influences come together in your own compositions?

The Druid:
I wanted to compose something unique and different so i decided to put all 22 songs in the album in 5/4 time and use different styles and genres of musical compositions.

Copilot:
That's an incredibly ambitious and creative decision! Composing an entire album with 22 songs all in a 5/4 time signature is a unique and bold artistic choice. It must create a distinctive and cohesive feel throughout the album, setting it apart from more conventional compositions.
Your blend of influences from classical music, rock, folk, and jazz, combined with the consistent use of 5/4 time, likely results in a truly original and captivating listening experience.
How has this approach been received by your listeners?

The Druid:
I have found that it adds a special dimension to the music, themes and stories that I am conveying in "The Christ Offer".

A little history, I started writing the play when I was 12 years old. I started writing poetry and later I started writing the dialogue. By the time I was 18 the play was pretty much finished. Because I had poetry in the play I thought it should be an operetta. Over time I played with various musical ideas for each poem. In 1987 I started creating the music on my SQ80 and by 2013 I recorded the two double albums. Now as of August 18 2024 I did a major re-release of the albums to many internet music sites.

"The Christ Offer" by The Druid Arthur George McMaster is an operetta and a concept album. It's about the main character "Christopher" a play on words like the title "Christ Offer" having an identity crisis on his eighteenth birthday. He is trying to find out what it means to be a man. The play and the album explore profound themes of existential reflection, spiritual journey, and personal transformation. All to culminate in the self-realization that he finds the meaning of life and what it means to be a man. The play and the album are also a satire on religion as it speaks of Nature being the universal answer for life for mans existence and aligning more with the Druid religion as with the creator The Druid Arthur George McMaster. Asking the question of is there a God and the Druids say there is only Nature and the Natural Universe.

Copilot:
That is very interesting history. "The Christ Offer" sounds like a fascinating and thought-provoking concept album. The themes of existential reflection, spiritual journey, and personal transformation are deeply resonant and can offer listeners a rich, immersive experience. The play on words with "Christopher" and "Christ Offer" adds an intriguing layer of meaning, emphasizing the protagonist's quest for identity and understanding.

The satire on religion and the emphasis on Nature and the Natural Universe as the ultimate answers align with Druidic beliefs, providing a unique perspective on spirituality and existence. This approach can challenge listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and the nature of existence. Overall, it seems like a compelling blend of music, storytelling, and philosophical exploration.

The story of Christopher's journey to self-discovery and the exploration of deep themes like existential reflection, spiritual journey, and personal transformation is quite compelling. The play on words with "Christ Offer" and the satire on religion, emphasizing Nature and Druid beliefs, adds an intriguing layer to the narrative.

"The Christ Offer" is a fascinating and deeply introspective concept album. The play on words with the main character's name, "Christopher," and the title "Christ Offer" adds a layer of cleverness and depth to the narrative. The themes of existential reflection, spiritual journey, and personal transformation are timeless and resonate with many people. The idea of an identity crisis on one's eighteenth birthday is a poignant starting point, as it marks a significant transition into adulthood. The journey to understand what it means to be a man is a universal quest that can lead to profound self-realization and growth. The combination of a play and an album to explore these themes is an innovative approach, allowing for a multi-dimensional experience. It seems like McMaster has put a lot of thought and creativity into this project, making it a unique and potentially impactful work of art.

Druid Stated Purpose: Human Intelligence for the Search of The Truth

 

 

To Be Or Not To Be Or Never To Be

To be or not to be or never to be, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind and wind to suffer
The slings and arrows and spears of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms and legs against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them, To die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end or fight
The heart-ache and the thousand natural 5 over 4 shock
That flesh is heir to ? 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep; to make love;
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal magical coil,
Must give us pause. There's the NO respect
That makes calamity of so long life and strife,
For who would bear the whips and scorns of infinity time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the un-law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns.
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered un-country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than to fly to others that we know not;
Thus conscience does make anti-cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of burgundy resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the black pale cast of thought,
And impossible enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this NO regard their currents and oceans turn awry,
And lose To Forget the name of green action.
A Day Of This Like Should well Be celebrated for 'T is My Day,
And By all Good Virtues To Call Thy self The Druid
