READ IT ALL YOU PUSSY!!! jk its kinda long and pointless if you arn’t interested in peoples beliefs but here it is. Don’t call them wacky though.. be creative in your criticism.

This is not a new ideology.. it has been around for as long as humans have been around. I just want to know what people think… im not here to preach.. im here to express my views and in turn receive criticism. Should i find any of the criticism to have merit or constructive value, i will evolve my ideas.

lol ok.. all the religious folk and especially atheists are gonna eat me for breakfast over this (especially since my views on religiosity like any theist are not backed with anything scientific) but im a pagan i suppose.. and i had what some would call a "spiritual experience" (though i don’t like calling it that) through what is known as "temporary ego death" which many have experienced throughout human history. This very personal experience affirmed and led me to the main points of this ideology. I believe in what Einstein, hindus, Buddhists, various artists, other minor religious groups and philosophies throughout history entail which is that in the ultimate reality there is only unity, and that the separateness of duality in our personal experiences is nothing more than a stubbornly persistent illusion. It is a necessary illusion to which we must abide in order to exist as individual entities but it is an illusion none the less. I believe that once we collectively become aware of the illusion we will know the true purpose of our humanity and that is to mentally evolve further from the animals by means of awarness, eternal reverence and empathy and hence maximizing our humanity. We should treat others as if they were us because.. well.. (in my view) they are us. I believe (though the word "god" has been royally perverted throughout history, ill use it anyway) everything (or the universe in its entirety) is god and we (like any life form) are a small piece of it. Our true identity is god and so I am you, you are me, and we are both jesus or anyone. You are the one that has lived every life that ever has, is or will exist. See stand up comedian "Bill Hicks" he’ll tell ya how it is lol.

Also if any george carlin fans are reading this… don’t take my beliefs the wrong way (though that can easily happen since George Carlin never mentioned unity and such) because i believe our views are the same.. the difference is that what i call "god" is what he called "the big electron"

"I believe we are part of a greater wisdom which we will never fully understand.. a higher order.. call it what you want.. you know what i call it… the big electron… whoaw…..whoaw" – George Carlin RIP

Just my subjective view on reality which (just like anyone else) is based on my personal experiences. I know none of my beliefs are backed with scientific verity which will always lead atheists into saying "well then your inevitably jumping to conclusions based on an emotional attachment to an experience". Though this may be true i will believe what I clearly yet subjectively saw as an individual until it is proved wrong which it wont. I believe i have had a personal experience that showed me what exists beyond human perception.. its as simple as that.. it was a subjective experience which is why i don’t go around parading saying i am 100% right and everyone else is wrong. However i do believe my experience benefited me and i do believe my current perception of reality is beneficial to humanity. I highly recommend you research "ego death" if you are interested at all though i know most wont be lol. Ill leave you with a quote from an epic song from one of my favorite new age bands "System of a Down"

"Life is a waterfall, we’re one in the river and one again after the fall"
First 3 answers are pussy a$$ lol
@ Rocket – Well you slightly redeemed yourself lol

Your interpretation of spirituality and meaning in the universe is meaningless to me. That doesn’t mean I dislike it.

You’ve got a fairly benign world view that I can’t complain about. You’ve said nothing of killing people who don’t believe like you and nothing of eternal torture for people who doubt you, so i like you more than I like Christians as far as a general attitude toward the beliefs.

Interesting to say the least, but IMO, meaningless.

Why? Well my appraisal of a belief system is how useful it is, what it helps us know about the universe, and what it helps us predict. I think a degree in neuroscience would tell us far more about the human mind than your concept of ’spiritual experiences’ or ‘ego death’. A degree in social sciences will tell you far more about human unity, empathy and humanity.

Wild speculation about how our universe, our minds, and our societies work is no substitute for a good education. I’d say you need a Philosophy Doctorate and about 10 years working on the above paragraphs to have a meaningful philosophy of life…and even then, meaningful does not equal true.

I’ll add that I think there -could- be something to meditation and ’spiritual experience’ but it can only be properly understood through neuroscience. It can be accessed and utilized through spiritual means, but not understood.

Lastly, I’m not sure what your perception of Einstein’s beliefs is in particular, but I’ll clarify one thing – Einstein mentions God a few times, but clarifies what he means by stating that he believes in ‘Spinoza’s God’. Some reading and insight will tell you that ‘Spinoza’s God’ isn’t really a God, per se, but a word used to describe the ‘beauty, magesty and mystery of the universe’ – it is not really God in a literal sense. Perhaps this is your appraisal, but from the context it was unclear.

I don’t half-a$$ many of my answers. Glad you feel I slightly redeemed myself.

Babul (Hindi: बाबुल, Urdu: بابُل) or (Father’s House) is a 1950 Bollywood film directed by S.U. Sunny produced and with music direction by Naushad. Lyrics by Shakeel Badayuni.
The film stars Dilip Kumar, Nargis and Munawar Sultana. A box-office success, the film became the second highest earning film of 1950, earning an approximate gross of Rs. 1,25,00,000 and a nett gross of Rs. 70,00,000….

Cinematography and soundtrack;
The film takes a theatrical form, largely attributed to the set of the film and script. Cinematographer Fali Mistry contributes much to the film with atmospheric lighting, especially during night scenes and is able to create an essence of darkness in the hill top mansion which adds to an element of suspense. A soundtrack of fifteen songs, mostly about the joys and pains of love in the film is closely connected to the dialogue. The best known song in the film Chod babul ka ghar (literally meaning Now you must leave your fathers house), is performed when a newly-married girl departs from her maternal home and village. The lovesong Nadi kinare (On the bank of a river) is performed by Ashok and Usha and a group of boatmen…..

Talat Mahmood (February 24, 1924 — May 9, 1998) was a popular Indian playback singer and film actor. A recipient of Padma Bhushan he is famous for his ghazals, resulting in a title of “king of ghazals” bestowed upon him by fans and critics.
Talat saab as he is now referred to, has often been described as a singer with a silky voice. His voice never suited loud songs, songs that demanded a high-pitched voice. Shouting or screaming didn’t suit him and so he avoided those kinds of songs too. He only sang soft, romantic, lyrical, ghazals.Talat saab went for his vocal training under PT.S C R.BHATT in Bhatkhande music college lucknow….
Personality;
People who remember Talat describe his nature as a quiet one. He is often written and described as a decent man, as his voice reflected that decency and sense of calm. Music directors who worked with him claim that when one would listen to him, you would get the feeling that he’s a soft-hearted man. As Naushad aptly reflects about Talat; “Because one’s character reflects one’s art too”….
Interesting facts;
* For Talat’s film ‘DIL E NADAAN’, famous producer A.R. Kardar launched an ‘All India Beauty Contest’ to hunt for a new heroine to act opposite this immensely popular and much sought after Singing Star. The winner was beautiful Peace Kanwal. * In 1956, Talat became the first ever Indian playback singer to go abroad for commercial concerts. * On Talat’s US Concert Tour, Talat’s popularity prompted famous New York television host Joe Franklin to invite Talat on his hugely popular programme “The Joe Franklin Show” watched by over 25 million Americans. He introduced Talat to American audiences as “The Frank Sinatra Of India !” * 1954, the year Binaca Geet Mala switched to a countdown system; the topper was Talat Mahmood’s “Jayen to jayen kahan”. * Producer-Director-Studio Owner Mehboob Khan of ‘Mother India’ fame, would always put his finger on Talat’s throat and tell him “Khuda ka noor tumhare gale mein hai!” * Talat’s first recording: “Sab din ek samaan nahin hote” – for HMV in 1941. * Talat’s first film recording: “Jago musafir jago” for film RAJLAXMI in 1945. * Talat’s last recording: Ghazal album titled “GHAZAL KE SAAZ UTHAO” for HMV in 1986. * Has sung in 17 Indian languages to include – Urdu/ Hindi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Telugu, Gujrati, Marathi, Malayalam, Punjabi, Sindhi, Awadhi, Marwari, Assamese. * In 1979, Talat performed at the world renowned Royal Albert Hall. Talat was the second Indian playback singer after Lata Mangeshkar to be invited to perform at this historical venue….

Shamshad Begum (April 14, 1919) is an Indian singer who was one of the first playback singers in the Hindi film industry.

Begum was born in Amritsar, Punjab. She was a big fan of K.L. Saigal and watched Devdas 14 times. She earned 15 rupees per song and was awarded 5000 on the completion of the contract on Jenaphone.

Sometime back, a controversy erupted in the media, when several publications, gave the false news of her death, before it was clarified that the Shamshad Begum who died in 1998 was Saira Banu’s (Dilip Kumar’s wife) grandmother with the same name, and the legendary singer, has been living with her daughter Usha Ratra and son-in-law in Mumbai, ever since her husband, Ganpat Lal Batto died in 1955. Recently, she celebrated her 89th birthday at her elder sister’s house and now she stays at Powai, Mumbai….

Begum became a national rage between the 1940s and the late 1950s rendering songs with her nasal voice, which helped her carve her independent image–a voice different from her peers, Lata, Asha, Geeta, and Amirbai Karnataki…..

The Creator (Slide to the Side Remix)

artist is
Pete Rock and CL Smooth

plz ignore all this im tryna get views…lol

Ya I try. Just don’t hate, I know im not the best. Screened in order; Wall Street Journal, Network, iLife, Better, Restarting, Viruses, Work, Touché, Out of the Box, Trust Mac, Angel/Devil, Accident, Self Pity, Better Results, Counsellor. BY THE WAY I HAVN’T READ THE DESCRIPTION I JUST COPY AND PASTED IT FROM SOMEONE ELSES VIDEO. I DON’T GIVE A WHAT THE DESCRIPTION SAYS April 25, 1945. (4/25/ 4+2+5=11) Delegates from 50 nations met in San Francisco on April 25, 1945, for what was officially known as the United Nations Conference on International Organization. During a two-month period, they completed a charter consisting of 111 articles, based on the draft developed at Dumbarton Oaks. The charter was approved on June 25 (6/25=6+2+5=13)and signed the next day; it became effective on October 24, 1945, after ratification by a majority of the signatories. The bonds of the wartime alliance undoubtedly hastened agreement on establishing the new organization. In December 1945 the Congress of the United States invited the UN to establish its headquarters in the United States. The organization accepted and in August 1946 moved to a temporary location in Lake Success, New York. (New York was the 11th state to endorse the Constitution.) Later that year a site was purchased bordering the East River in New York City, (New York City is exactly 11 letters.) and plans for a permanent headquarters were drawn up.(97 Microsoft Encarta United Nations Origin) Favorite Illuminati Symbol: The All-Seeing Eye. New World Order Currency: The all-seeing-eye on the dollar bill. Below the illuminati pyramid/eye symbol are the words: “Novus Ordo Seclorum,” which can be translated as: “A new order of the ages.” The Serpent promised Adam and Eve that their eyes would “be opened” if they ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The key word in this passage is eyes, which in Hebrew can be translated “knowledge.” Opened can be translated “broadened.” What the Serpent promised Adam and Eve was that knowledge would be broadened if they ate of the forbidden fruit. But the most foreboding aspect of this scripture emerges from the fact that the Hebrew word for “eyes” is not plural, but singular. What the Serpent actually told Adam and Eve was that their “eye” would be broadened by knowledge. The “eye” that Scripture wants us to consider is not the physical organ of sight, but the eye of the mind or the soul. This singular “eye” is called the “third eye” of clairvoyance in the Hindu religion, the eye of Osiris in Egypt, and the All-Seeing Eye in Freemasonry. (John Daniel, Scarlet and the Beast , Vol. III, pp. 6-7) The all-seeing eye is the elite’s favorite symbol. It represents the eye of Lucifer seeing all and is usually atop a pyramid, the symbol for a top-down command and control system of compartmentalization. Many companies use the pyramid within their logos. James Walker, a 32º Mason, shares some facts with us about the above symbols: 13 leaves in the olive branch 13 bars and stripes in the shield 13 arrows in the right claw 13 letters in the “E Pluribus Unum” on the ribbon 13 stars in the green crest above 32 long feathers on its right wing representing the 32º in Freemasonry 13 granite stones in the Pyramid. (The 13 layers represent the 13 Illuminati bloodlines) 13 letters in Annuit Coeptis It should also be noted that the Eagle has 32 feathers right wing, but 33 in its left wing. The 32 feathers representing the number of ordinary degrees of the Scottish Rite, and the 33 feathers representing the 33º of Freemasonry. The tail feathers number 9, the number of degrees in the York Rite. The eagle itself is a prominent icon of Masonry, being used extensively in the Scottish Rite. Looking just above the eagles head you will see 13 pentagrams within a cloud. The pentagrams are arranged in the shape of a hexagram – or greater Seal of Solomon. The hexagram is a powerful tool used by pagans to invoke Satan. It is also the sign of Anti Christ with 6 points, 6 angles and 6 planes (666). To the sorcerer, the hexagram is a powerful tool to invoke Satan, and is a sign of Antichrist. (6 points, 6 angles, 6 planes – 666) The 5 pointed pentagrams multiplied by the 13 stars equals 65, the same cabalistic number as mentioned above. This makes one wonder with whom or what, we are to dwell in unity! The eagle replaced the Phoenix in 1841 as the national bird. The Phoenix has been a Brotherhood symbol since ancient Egypt. The Phoenix was adopted by the Founding Fathers (Freemasons) for use on the reverse of the first official seal of the United States after a design proposed by Charles Thompson, Secretary of the Continental Congress.

Lyrics:

Max Bladel:
me nah wan babylon enslave my generation, so
no more hesitation, im impatient,
makin this is a quick written, a demonstration,
i can kick it with this intricate lyrical tip for days but then

i dont give a shit, simplify right up in your face,
spit it plain my, my friend
battle club bangins for cavemen, im wastin time
if i aint lit a flame, in your brain by days end,

warrior instinct, engrained in flesh,
genetic, protect my flock from dangers ahead,
everyday raising the saber pen for the same end,
battles are won or lost on information,

the matrix is safe, its okay i understand,
the pain of waking up naked with plugs attached,
you dont love the land, you love your playstation, ,
i was the same, until i was struck by a couple facts,

aint no with the stats son read up on that,
Murray river sad as it is, nothin but sand,
when ice caps gone not relfectin light back,
time to pack up Aussie gunnna have stomach cramps,

what you know about real hunger man,
do you understand? who here is commin up with a plan?
city corner, rappin top of my lungs, doin jumping jacks,
sustainable means, that you need to give something back!

“oil is gross, so im glad to be done with that,
no worries though got some wind and some sun to catch”,
fuck that, its not enough and you know it!
stop kidding yourselves, this is too big for you to blow it!

Filthy:
Whether it be winter, fall, spring, or summer

Like my man Sleepy Numbers
Bringin heat to these beats
So dem can’t sleep or slumber anymore
Soldiers, we need plenty more
Truth & justice in we core
So believe me we gon win de war
No doubt, soldier it’s about to go down
No bluffin and we aint about to fold now
We building up a full house
And then we’re gonna throw down
Slow down? Not likely
The truth shine brightly
And its moving at the speed of lightning
Striking at the heart of the seekers
Alarming the sleepers
Wake up and take up arms in the streets, cuz
Everybody reach for your weapon of choice
If your weapon’s your voice
Scream at the top of your breath
That they done left us no choice
Dem infect & exploit
And we done lost our patience
And if we have our way then,
Babylon not enslavin no more generations
We WILL have our way and,
Babylon not enslavin NO MORE generations!

zzz33333:
stupid motherfuckers, rapping fast, muttering slang
you think you’re so great that nobody could tug at your chain
you only flow hate, cover it up under your vain face
say, “i ain’t lazy. i just like to stay in the same place.”

so what, are you a pimp or a chauvinist pig?
you ain’t hit hard, bitch,
what i’m throwing’ll stick
you can’t spit raw cause
you don’t know what it is
you say you ain’t soft but you all up on your own dick

little kid
you ain’t spent a day picking cotton
you want fame but you doesn’t know how much it’ll shock ya
we been slaves since day one, the puppets are talking
cut the strings, the things that you want, they ain’t nothing

you just smother your pain and say the others are lame
you’re a waste,
i try to reach you with these guttural screams
you’re stuttering, “w-w-ait w-w-hat i m-meant was, p-p-lease…”
shut the up
man get the off your knees
you suck the of this system for rides in a jet-ski
i rock resistance with rhymes, don’t forget me

or test me, putting words into my mouth
i love myself but that’s not what i’m about.
i see babylon crashing and crushing life out
and both things are happening fast, like right now

you just talk about how you spit fire and wild out
you could use your lines as sparks to light crowds
this is crazy.
get the off the stage
stop talking yourself up, man, act your age
and if this makes you angry, savor that taste.
this was supposed to be the summer of rage.

OneLuv! Respect!

took a trip to historical site for summer vacation

facts : In the early years of the nineteenth century many people came to Spanish Florida. Some, like Zephaniah Kingsley, sought to make their fortunes by obtaining land and establishing plantations. Others were forced to come to Florida to work on those plantations, their labor enriching the men who owned them. Some of the enslaved would later become free landowners, struggling to keep their footing in a dangerous time of shifting alliances and politics. All of these people played a part in the history of Kingsley Plantation.

In 1814, Zephaniah Kingsley moved to Fort George Island and what is known today as the Kingsley Plantation. He brought a wife and three children (a fourth would be born at Fort George). His wife, Anna Madgigine Jai, was from Senegal, West Africa, and was purchased by Kingsley as a slave. She actively participated in plantation management, acquiring her own land and slaves when freed by Kingsley in 1811. With an enslaved work force of about 60, the Fort George plantation produced Sea Island cotton, citrus, sugar cane and corn. Kingsley continued to acquire property in north Florida and eventually possessed more than 32,000 acres, including four major plantation complexes and more than 200 slaves.

The United States purchased Florida from Spain in 1821. The Spanish had relatively liberal policies regarding issues of race, but American territorial law brought many changes. At a time when many slave holders feared slave rebellions, oppressive laws were enacted and conditions for Florida’s black population, free and enslaved, deteriorated. Kingsley was against the restrictive laws, arguing that more humane treatment would ensure peace and the perpetuation of slavery. In 1829, he published his opinions in A Treatise on The Patriarchal, or Co-operative System of Society As It Exists in Some Governments. . . Under the Name of Slavery.

To escape what Kingsley called a “spirit of intolerant prejudice,” Anna Jai and their sons moved to Haiti in 1837. There, Kingsley established a colony for his family and some of his former slaves. In 1839, Fort George Island was sold to his nephew Kingsley Beatty Gibbs. Zephaniah Kingsley died in New York City in 1843.

While Kingsley amassed land and wealth, others strove for freedom. The slave Gullah Jack took a dangerous route. Gullah Jack was stolen from Kingsley by Seminole Indians. Later, he reappeared in Charleston as an important lieutenant of the Denmark Vesey slave uprising— and was hanged.

Somewhat less dramatic was the life of Abraham Hanahan. Although a slave, Hanahan managed plantation operations and was completely in charge in Kingsley’s absence. When freed by Kingsley, Hanahan became a river pilot, trader, and farmer, who went by the name “Free Abraham Hanahan.” He eventually joined those seeking a better life in Haiti.

Kingsley Plantation symbolizes a time and a place in history. More than that, Kingsley Plantation represents people, free and enslaved, ordinary and extraordinary, and their efforts to survive in a changing land. The stories of these people, often heroic, and their contributions to history can be explored at Kingsley Plantation.

Hey world, won’t you take a time out and listen
no room for dissin’ your brother your kin
learn the lesson?
what have we got ourselves in?
decades in the making, seconds till they rake in
the token, the toll, the fruits of our labor
of love disappear airborne like vapors
officials run digital capers, nil paper
system overhaul now pay for favors

expand your attention span
divide and conquer their plan
so blatant so why fold to a bluffing hand
go for the jugular and push them chips
on the river card house wins again, what a trip
it’s a classic slip like banana peels
at the end of each day, it’s a mass appeal
yeah a fixed game designed to end in collection
give a credit to the machine and it’s pinching
like a live wire thirsty for tension
universal curse from the next dimension
hence when the time come beware the henchmen
bloke, get ready to pull out the cold linchpin
the fifth wheel to the coach ain’t no pimpin
the ride like a fallen kingpin, the imprints
on the neck like a livestock on limping
from the overdose of chemicals, olymping
gold to the folk who stand up fist pumping
ode to the cure for all that fix symptoms
hold the bingeing, I’m searching
alternatives to fuel that burns in engines
and I hear men slaughter for oil, nah we need water for soil
grow seeds to feed the needy funk the greedy
natural resource better be a freebie
catch’em in the act, get grilled in a tepee
original landscapes claimed on repo
the criminals make crops unable to reproduce
and the juice that we drink is lethal?
soon enough spring water banned illegal
now I am not here to rehash the same ol’ problems
to preach to the choir or pretend I know them
I don’t even go there, even if it’s for dare
truth shall remain a myth and it’s cold here

come on
a call to arms with intelligence
spiritual belligerence
fire bullets of benevolence
direct to the heart
lodged in the chamber, pumped from the ventricle
and out the aorta,
travel up the brain, the brain
then unchain the chain!
freedom of speech resurrected from the drain
saved from the gutter salvaged from the sewers
last days fertilize grass-roots maneuvers!

oh the world in peace is so hard to imagine
as long as the rich take the poor to the cleaners and back,
colonial checks baloney yo
debtors and trespassers turn their masters
into the masses for a quick trial
unanimous vote leave’em out in the wild
see how they do caked up in vanity
out of their zoo with a fixed capacity
wow, hold up watch the commentary fail
to capture the essence of a common fairy tale
the african dream, american nightmare,
european calender, and asian agenda
go check the facts written in history
I mean lies justified like it’s some mystery
ayo wise up we’re in the same scenario
must be “the clash” predicted years ago
all for the cha-ching the serpents deceive us
much to their chagrin the wrath they receiveth
can’t stop the bum rush nor will the behemoth
non-fiction for all you non-believers
critical news spread faster than a fever
sending out the message to all amps and receivers
one, two radio interference, bombs depot
dropped on the innocent people
now you know why some face prison for speaking
the kind of knowledge some risk lives for seeking
keep the light shining defend the beacon
recognize who slave you except for weekends

a call to arms with intelligence
spiritual belligerence
fire bullets of benevolence
direct to the heart
lodged in the chamber, pumped from the ventricle
and out the aorta,
travel up the brain, the brain
then unchain the chain!
freedom of speech resurrected from the drain
saved from the gutter salvaged from the sewers
last days fertilize grass-roots maneuvers

who used up the oxygen and spewed out the toxins,
fused the atomic and separated the hydrogen
who? take a look in the mirror, it’s you
who feeds the beast the milk it needs just to please
lest we breathe, make us think like the
less we breathe the better off for the scenery
hell no, viva la vida!
the beat goes on, it’s the right we keep
whether you awake asleep alone afraid astray away,
okay, you stay ahead the black sheep riding a jeep
cuz the plot runs deep, and it only gets deeper
like the bottom of the sea in an one-seater

hey World, won’t you take a time out and listen
no room for dissin’ your brother your kin
learn the lesson?
what have we got ourselves in?
decades in the making, seconds till they rake in
the token, the toll, the fruits of our labor
of love disappear airborne like vapors
officials run digital capers, nil paper
system overhaul now pray to save us
