…I got a call from a record company offering me a contract, I did not want to take it because the Lord had pointed me in the direction of spiritual activity…And then it was disclosed to me that I could do both spiritual and musical work. So for five years I executed that contract, and when it was finished, after I made the album Transfiguration, I didn’t make another album until twenty-six years later. This new album, Translinear Light, came out of the pleading and constant appealing from my son Ravi Coltrane: ‘Ma, please make a CD.’ So I eventually agreed.
