Science of Breath #34

Science of Breath

Today..I have a lot on my mind. Mostly, about what I need to do, that I very much dislike doing. Should I even breath the word? Here we go..Taxes. Blah. Every year I have to pick through piles and piles of white receipts, in search of profit and loss. It’s one of the joys of being a business owner. So I’m thinking that today’s show is going to give me the energy I’ll need for the next couple days to knock this out. I found a nice lil gem by Gil Scott Heron ft Nas. The OG has been one of my favorites since back in the day, with his angst filled croonage. If you don’t know, and you’re into soul music, google him. Also, stumbled on to some classic club music, as delivered by Pandora.com. I love this website because it’s such a good place to learn about new music. They have some technology that groups songs and artists according to varied styles and emphasis. Very dope. Enjoy the show..blessed..tune in, tune up!

Science of Breath

Respect all massive and crew! I’m doin’ it movin, literally this week , as I broadcast straight from the van heading south towards NYC. There is something acutely surreal about touring and recording at the same time. While cars and trucks rush by, I capture bits and pieces of reality as they whirl past. It’s almost as if it’s a metaphor for the constant gush of information in this day and age. With so much media available, how does one sift thru and pick what they want to allow into their range of perception? For some, it is a choice, for others it is simply succumbing to the incessant barrage of programming shoved down our throats. As for myself, I have chosen to be quite snobby about what I allow into my mind, conscious and otherwise. I realize that whatever the mind views, it perceives as reality. That includes commercials, horror movies, reality shows, whatever he receives. This is exactly the same reason why the imagination is so powerful. If you can imagine something over and over again in your mind, you begin to charge your behavior with that imagery, and draw it closer to yourself subconsciously. With that said, strive to be aware of what types of energy that you allow into your mind. Ask yourself if this is the type of thing you want to experience. Don’t be passive, make an active choice about the energy that is created in and thru you. Shouts out to J Dilla (February 7, 1974 – February 10, 2006) & Bob Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981).

Do aliens really exist? Have we been visited? An astronaut named Edgar Mitchell says yes to both of these questions! In an interview just 5 days ago, he discloses some pertinent information about the reality of extraterrestrial life, and the fact that our government has been covering it up for the past 60 years. Wow. In my mind though, it only makes sense that there is life beyond our world. Lets be realistic, we barely understand the ocean, which just happens to be 75% of our own planet. I’m sure we’ll be discovery new species in the coming years. How can we claim to understand the great expanse of space that surrounds us infinitely? To back it up, my man Nas even breaks it down with the song “We Are Not Alone” off his new record. Just maybe, we are headed towards an event horizon. What do you think?
