Topic: A message to all NR'ers

Ok, I observe we have some insecurities, doubts, questions etc etc etc all the time. Me too. So here we have a message:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z4NKVHX8yI

WAIT! Stay there! These lyrics are NOT to some outside force like STS's, NWO's, governments, organised religions, business networks, grids etc etc. These lyrics are coming from your own SPIRIT/SELF to your doubting left-hemisphere, your insecure emotions, your hyperactive mind etc etc.

Listen to that again knowing it is from your SPIRIT to your whatever weakness, whatever obstacle you believe you have.


So dear hyperactive mind/unbalanced emotinons/false beliefs;

"No matter how hard you try..."

Change we must, to live again
- Jon Anderson

Re: A message to all NR'ers

The shadow is interred down there[in your unconscious] for a reason; it is [those] aspects to yourself that your ego doesn't know about, which you bury because it doesn't fit how you perceive yourself to be. The shadow is that part of you that you won't allow to show through, that includes good--I mean potent--as well as dangerous aspects of your potential.

Now, typically, all these archetypes come out personified in myths and dreams.  We personify the mysery of the universe as God.  The ego becomes the hero or heroine figure. The unconscious self becomes the wise man or woman.  The shadow becomes personified, too, as a kind of Mephistophelian figure.  Evidently, the shadow holds not only holds what is good for you but what is bad as well.  It swallows those things that would be dangerous for you to express, such as murderous intent that you have for that son of a gun(Son of God) over there who's been interupting you all evening, the urge to steal, to cheat, to destroy, and so on.  But it also holds potentialities that your ego and the persona system don't want to accept.

In your dreams, and in the myths of your society, these urges are represented in the shadow, and the shadow is always of your own sex; it is always to be seen as a threat.

You can recognize who it is by simply thinking of the people you don't like.  They correspond to that person whom you might have been--otherwise they wouldn't mean very much to you.  People who excite you either positively or negatively have caught something projected from yourself:

I do not love thee, Dr. Fell,
The reason why I cannot tell,
But this alone I know full well,
I do not love thee, Dr. Fell.

Why? Because he's my shadow.  I don't know whether you've had similar experiences in your life, but there are people I despise the minute I see them.  These people represent those aspects of myself, the existence of which I refuse to admit to myself.   The ego tends to identify itself with the society, forgetting the shadow.  It thinks it's you.  That's the position society puts us in.  Society does not give a darn whether you crack up when it's through with you--that's your problem.

~~Joseph Campbell "Pathways to Bliss", p. 74-75

There is no society really. This is an illusion we mold our lives to, until we free ourselves--or are discarded and find ourselves abandoned by the people we thought were our society. We are born into this world alone and will leave alone. There is a beauty and grace in this if you look beneath the surface and find your treasure.

The individual IS the revolution.  When the individual recognizes and romances it's own shadow will one become free of the societal illusions, TPTB.

I feel I have lived a free and independent life--I am a free man. Very few have recognized me, but many have I irritated by being my self.  Few, if any, have inquired of me my understanding of this path, for apparently in the questions formulated upsurges remnants of their own hidden selves. I am a gentle soul with kind intentions--eventually people see this in me, but often after they have tested me  after first crucifying me in their minds. In the effort to punish me they have punished themselves. I have witnessed this.

I have known myself, and continue to witness my own emotions as they develope energy-- positive and negative.

Both inspiring and thought-provoking.  Thanks, you two. 

"Renegades Of Funk"

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

We're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
Renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop

We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble the horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime I pop into the beat we get fresh

There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove sucker
Say groove sucker
Say dance sucker
Say dance sucker
Now move sucker
Now move sucker
[x2]

We're the renegades of funk

Fare Thee Well

GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC FERIT!

This song  does wonders when you need that little extra oomph. It's a kick ass song and gets you out of your funk...hence, renegades of funk. Zach is clever, great lyricist!

Re: A message to all NR'ers

Hey titmouse.  I like what you say about there being so society.  One could say that everyone makes up society and that is true, but as you say it is an illusion, like an imaginary chess board.  You can choose to play, or realize that the only way to be free is not to play their game, but rather create your own.

Lately, I've seen just how much of a consumer society it is set up to be.  I could even say we live in an alcoholic society as most of the restaurants and places I've visited these days wholly promote it.  At one point I would see a commercial sitting in a restaurant about beer, then look over to the table next to me seeing people drinking their drug.

This is a cover song. "Renegades of Funk" was originally produced by Afrika Bambaataa in 1983. Afrika Bambaataa's group of likeminded artists is called the Zulu Nation. It's a quasi-religious organization rife with new-age, UFO, Tibetan, and Egyptian references.

I used to think Afrika Bambaataa was a neat guy until I saw a BBC documentary from the 1980's. It featured a music video of his where he made the "devil horns" sign a number of times. I thought this was very odd. I also became suspicious of the lyrical content of the music, because of references to Shamballa and Agharta, which I recognized as Nazi occult obsessions. (Even in their Tibetan Buddhist incarnation these occult beliefs are tied into some dark stuff, which was touched on a bit in this thread here on NR.)

I've read that The Grateful Dead was supported by the CIA, because the docile music and atmosphere was useful for intercepting potential politically active people and turning them into harmless acid-heads. (Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter was known to have taken part in MK ULTRA experiments, and there are many more connections to be found if you do the research.) This got me to wondering about Afrika Bambaataa, whose music and organization had a similar effect on black youth, making them more docile. Afrika Bambaataa turned violent street gangs into singing, dancing, music producing crews who "battled" each other using art. This sounds pretty good on the surface. But it could also have been part of a CIA operation to neutralize competition on the drug market and/or keep black youths from forming political organizations. The belief system of the Zulu Nation is very woo-woo, pretty much precluding serious political action."

CZYX : what do you know of the Zulu nation???
by virtue of your comment,evidently not very much.
Come here CZYX,come here down to Africa and lets teach you just abit about YOUR roots,my good man.You are an AfriCAN my friend.You come from here....whether you're a white brother or a black one,YOU come from the CRADLE OF HUMANKIND.That is here,my home.Africa.The Zulu's were one of the only races to give the British a serious hiding back in the day my friend.
They are a NOBLE nation.
Have respect.
RATM are drawing from the obvious my good mate.
Have respect.
