My Views: Trayvon Martin

First off, sorry it has been so long since my last blogpost. My life has been a whirl of crazy things, I have been just trying to go with the flow and take things as best I can while praying for better.

On to what I want to talk about today. Trayvon Martin. 

Disclaimer: I'm not saying this to be offensive or a hater. It is simply how I feel and my blog is for me to express how I feel to the world. Don't like it?!  
Comment below.

When I found out what happened I remember how devastated I was. Not even because I'm so naieve that I don't know that this happens all the time. It was because I felt this situation more since I know how easily situations like this can occur. 
I mean, I have 2 younger brothers and with them living in a predominately white area this could have been either one of them. I want nothing more than justice served. I send prayers out to his family and I implore you to do so as well. 


My Problems

The media made the trial for the murderer of a child, a circus. I haven't been keeping up with the case honestly because I feel that this is another distraction technique. 
The powers that be tell the sheep what to pay attention to and they do it. In the past few weeks while the  trial has been happening CONgress has been going crazy. All over all the social networks I see people pretending to care, putting out all types of ignorant opinions, chastising people for their ignorant opinions and generally pretending to be revolutionaries, since that the popular thing to be right now. Instead of the twitter revolutionaries paying attention for the fact that they are taking our rights, they are paying attention to this elaborately planned trial. Not only that but they are doing it because it is the trendy/popular thing to talk about...like a reality show. It will lose relevance quickly because of all this false care. Just like it was designed.

Open your eyes to what is around you folks. Things are never as they seem.


My Questions to the Revolutionaries. Real and Fake.
Answer honestly.

First off how do you expect this to go?
What will be done if the trial doesnt go the way you expect?
Y'all say NO JUSTICE NO PEACE, do you mean it?
Will you revolt or will you just tweet angrily?


Whatever your answers to those questions are...be proud of you you are.
We are all incredible beings, revolutionary or not. 


Plus...the real revolution starts with Self.

P.S. : one of my twitter followers, @8PathZen,  tweeted "What if they find Zimmerman innocent, knowing that people will riot just so they can implement Marshall Law, in D.C., Philly, Bmore, N.Y.?" then "I mean clearly he guilty, but you know they do shit like that."

Misrepresentations Grind My Gears

Mother culture is a motherfucker, the media is her bitch.

I am not fully prepared to take the time it is guaranteed to take to do a full exposé on the media and its misrepresentations, as I would like, but here is a little something I thought about the other day.

For those of yall who do not know me, I am in NOT a scary movie fan WHATSOEVER. I am the type of girl that when the commercials come on I close my eyes and cover my ears while making loud noises as to keep myself from hearing the craziness. The other day we went to go see WORLD WAR Z (amazing movie btw) and during preview time, a preview for a scary movie came on. I decided that I wouldn't make too much noise in the movies but I covered my eyes and turned away but turned back just in time to see the title flash ominously...The Conjuring. I thought to myself "blah another stupid scary movie" and continued on with life not giving it another thought. 
However, that night the commercial came on TV and I saw a bit more than before, this time. I was slightly freaked out.
 In a panic I said to Amiiiri, "Ugh why the fuck would somebody do some shit like that, they shouldn't be out there conjuring shit anyways." 
Before the words even came out of my mouth I knew I had misjudged everything.

First mistake, who the fuck am I to say anybody shouldn't be doing anything?! I always chastise myself when I get judge-y because I am an authority on none but myself. 
Second mistake. Since when does the media properly portray anything (unless, like The Matrix, its like little pimp slaps to those who know). When Amiiiri and I originally watched The Spirit Science, there was one of the videos that was about Astral Projection

Quick rundown time:
 AP is the conscious separation of your soul and your body. Now that alone sounds super scary but first think about standard belief. If your body is just a house for your soul then why can't your soul leave it? Do you never leave your house?
It is what some people call Out of Body Experiences. Also it is quite close to what some call Lucid Dreaming.
It is reported that there are infinite things you can do while Astral Projecting, some of them being: 
  • Travel the world
  • Travel the universe (other planets & realms, etc.)
  • Travel time
  • Talk with your angels
  • Talk to deceased people
  •  many more cool things

Any who, when I originally learned about it, I told her that it sounded like something that I would like to try (still haven't succeeded). Then she told me about this movie Insidious. Now I had heard of this movie but was never even going to think about watching it, so she told me a bit about it. For those who havent seen it/heard about it this is all I remember: It is about a boy who became comatose, got stuck in the spirit world and his father had to go and find him.

My issue with both these movies is really just another annoying case of Mother  Culture misrepresenting things. When she starts with spirituality it grinds my gears much harder than when she misrepresents everything else. Movies like Insidious and The Conjuring put forth only negativity in fields where people already don't know enough. Even in cases where people know better its easy to slip into the grasp of mother culture. Just watch out guys there are lies all around us. Funniest part of it all is...both movies were made by the same people. Shall we say conspiracy?! 

Indeed.

Namaste
