Some more Zion I !!!

just cause i love em.

From Badlands:
"Perilous pits i dodge like it's my job, they worship twisted gods and spit facades. To get that wad what will you do, like cheat, steal, kill until it kills you."
"This is a place where babies are hooked on drugs
Before they see the light of day
A land where doctors'll necessarily cut them out their mothers' stomachs
Just to make more pay
Their fathers run away
Consumed with the most ignorant shit you can think of
Cuz it's been dangled in front their faces like a carrot to an ass
But still they know better, they're just too scared to be outcasts
It ain't about past; let's talk present and future
Fuck presidents, what do you do with your power, your control?
Control yourself
Going dumb's not really a movement, you're really going dumb
Look at the shit they play on the radio
And got the nerve to wonder why rappers keep dying in the streets
Stop putting 2pac and Biggie on magazines until you understand the significance of why they died
Don't ya'll get it? Humans are bigger than they're supposed to be
Check yourself before you come out the house holdin' a piece,
Runnin' off at the mouth, sayin' trendy shit like “yes sir” and “ye ye”
Like it's the only thing you know
Yea, that shit is fun but don't let it be the only thing you know
Ultimately, it won't get you anywhere and trying to get out of here
Leave these bad lands behind, get in touch with my spirit, my body, and mind
Cuz I'm divine
And if no one ever told you you were, well you are

And that's it."





And some more...



I love you Hip-Hop.

People are dissapointing sometimes

It sucks to see people with potential not living up to it. Maybe they see it in themselves but think they can't live with the responsibility of these greater things. Now i'm not the best but the greatest parts of myself i try and make a point to keep them active and alive. I guess maybe it took a little self-realization of what these strengths were. Maybe you have to be beaten and fight against the beatings to realize what is strong within you. I don't know.

Things i should be doing

This is not included on the list, mehh. I think thoughts have the power to shape what is around you, so if your negative things negatively affect you, maybe that is just perception, but i think it comes down to something underlying in human nature. It is a cool thing to look at, that you create a world around you and you have complete control over your mind, thus shaping the world, therefore you have complete control of the world. If every single good-hearted person in the world shaped a world similar to the good-hearted person next to them and so on, i don't think evil would exist, unless of course all the evil people shaped a world counter to the good peoples world, ehh, maybe that is what is going on and what will continue to go on in our world, i like to hope we have a chance to evolve into self-actualized beings of light and love. A guy can hope right, why not set the sights high?

Universal Mind

I think that over the many years that society and people have evolved it is all due to the earth and connection people share with it. I think that now is a time of evolution for mankind and the earth, while i have looked at many negative perspectives, i can see positive ones as well. I think the relationship we have with each other now will be greatly shifted in the next few to hundreds of years, regardless that is a very small time. See i look at all of these cultures where the society is something completely new, and how the people within the society had to adapt over years and years to understand their place in the society in order for it to work efficiently and be beneficial to growth. I think what we are adjusting to now is something we have never seen before, and it is a really beautiful thing. I think more and more our society and mind will move outwards, now we are adjusting and moving into a global society, and our actions and spots of knowledge and intelligence growth reflects that. I wonder how long it takes to form a complete unified universal society. I think the thing we struggle with now is filtering all of the information available to us, i think that intuition will play its part in structuring a healthy way to filter and retain this amount of information, i think thought will structure a basis for sharing the information in a more efficient way, a way in which we can get the information needed that is integral to our individual roles in the global mind.

Bound to Happen

I wonder how many have this idea and then just quit doing it, i think i'll just cut back and cut back and then probably quit doing it. Seeing how i never get responses or anything else. Hmm maybe it is just a good self therapy, yeah thats right, who gives a fuck ced, you know whats what.

Ehh

thought i would share this beautiful voice.

Shut it

Just shut your mouth, sometimes it feels as if no-one is looking at each other, even the people we are close to, or the people we want to be close to. I was thinking that it would be so beneficial if everyone could just meditate on who people are as opposed to what the do, and i mean actually meditate, quiet your mind with these people, as opposed to watching tv, or sharing a conversation, just share your quiet self with that person or people, and they do the same to you. I guess i could justify and say i have done this already and i do this with people, but honestly that is something i have never done. Just let the outside world escape you, around somebody you are comfortable doing it with of course, actual meditation, not the things i have done that emulate the feeling i imagine you would get from doing this, they are always things that involve some sort of outside stimulus. I bet that this is so healthy for whoever does this, just letting each other go into nothing but their own breathing and body conciousness, letting each other breath. Mehh.

Thoughts worth

zero-one

Burnouts for the win

Man, soreness is a feeling that is horrible and great at the same time. I wonder if people are like muscles, if they have to tear apart before they can build and become stronger, and then if they need resistance to tone themselves.

Thinking and thinking and eventually head explodes

I was thinking about how much i think about, not how often or how much i think about one thing, just how many thoughts go through my head and have been through my head. Then i think about how i have thought archetypes, which dictates what thoughts i am thinking, then i try and think of what i think about to determine what archetype i manifest and why. Why, How, When, Where, Who-ha, blah, blah, hmm, blah, hmm...

For instance i was thinking about how all different activities we perform require a different rhythm of how we breath and move and think, that if you tune your body the rhythm will become like a song of all the things your body is doing and make better and better music the more you practice. Maybe not better, just more expressive and fulfilling.

Oh Gods

Why is this happening to me?
All I wanted was new life for my son to grow up free
And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me
I'll never fly again, I'll hang up my wings


Thrice is slowly becoming my favorite band

All that matters

I've found that all that matters is within yourself. It saddens me that so many people succumb to these societal pressures that are meaningless, and they know they are meaningless but the get sucked in. Who cares what you do with your life, if love and truth guide you everywhere you will always be rewarded with love and truth.

Three Seasons Jam Sesh

Here is my band rocking out improv style. Enjoy.
Its around 8 minutes long. Probably gonna evolve some of this into a song.

Three Seasons Till Apocalypse: March 31st Jam

The basic thought meditation

Something beneficial to me that i would like to share.

Write down your thoughts for five to ten minutes, let it flow and do not censor yourself. Just write what you can retain long enough to write down.

Read it and identify any thought or idea which "makes something wrong". Basically identify an idea that indicates you are thinking something is "not okay", "bad", or "wrong".

Then identify the positive opposites for each idea identified. For instance if "So and so makes me mad" is the identified "wrong" the positive opposite would be "It is okay for me to think that so and so makes me mad"

After this develop a gratitude context for each idea. Staying with the example: "I am grateful that so and so is making me mad because it gives me the opportunity to face and be responsible for my emotions."


Some helpful ideas about this practice:

Developing a context for gratitude through logic is a mental exercise. Do it mechanically. It is not necessary to believe what you write or to actually experience feelings of gratitude.

Look for value in the situation you are making wrong. When you look deep, you will always find value.

Pretend that you ordered whatever you make wrong to be exactly as it is, and identify why you want it that way.

At the very least you can always be grateful for the ability to feel. Exaggerate the feeling to defend yourself against whatever you are making wrong.

Notice that just because you make something bad or wrong, it is not that infinitely. You may achieve gratitude simply because it is as good as it is.

Don't compare what you are making wrong to anything else but itself.

Assume that whatever you are making wrong is a direct reflection of something you are making wrong about yourself. You could be grateful for noticing a way in which you make yourself wrong. As an added benefit, this awareness may lead you to stop.

Be loving, gentle and patient with yourself. Give all of yourself unconditional love. Extend that to all aspects of what you experience.

If I follow this meditation i will grow and heal and better understand myself. I sincerely hope that anyone who reads this takes something from it.

Random

I wonder if the Kool-aid tastes good in Jonestown.

At all levels

At all levels i think that there is a balance of negative and positive forces. Like everything that goes inwards and outwards alike, it is all the same.

Rock and Fucking Roll

Man there is no feeling like rocking out with someone, hopefully soon i will get some of our jam sessions on here. The progress we have made amazes me, i still suck at guitar technically but i am loving some of the sounds coming from my fingers and hands. Keep checking in, i'll get some up asap.

Tired

worn out, just music today
