Eternal Search..

Sometimes I find myself in a mood in which I seem to be unable to find satisfaction with the present… per say…

So I search through all playlists, and videos and shelves and folders… I search for a sound or a note or a visual. More than anything I have found that I seek for a change of energy, created deep in my heart. One that can only be created by a deep connection and positive intent towards enlightenment.

I find that I could be creative as I can be receptive. I can listen and imagine. I can learn and re-classify information.

I wonder if anyone else ever feels this type of thirst for knowledge.

The 3rd Eye shock of reading truthful words in a transcript.

The yearning I feel for a fresh, motivational, creative, technikal, banging hip hop masterpiece… How can I even explain it?! It’s just something that is felt.

Like the stability brought by the highest herbs.

Mastery of time is the fruit of knowledge of Earth. Aspirations towards higher states are the powers behind the eternal search.

Knowledge and Consciousness without rest in all realms.

And the Balance of Peace of Mind.

Blessing Count...

In this commonly known "Concrete Jungle"

life can seem so fast,

 at times it seems it's passing us by...

I would like to take a moment to acknowledge some things

that I am thankful for.

The things that help me push through adversity

in all realms of my life

and remind me that

there's a purpose behind the struggle.

All praise be to Creation.

Ometeol

Tlazokamatli Ometeol

for creating within the human being

the pure essence of the cosmos.

I am grateful

for the ability to reason,

to use Intelligence in problem solving,

for Creativity in Motion,

being able to feel pure emotions through music.

I am humbled by spirituality

and it's intimate connection to the mind.

I am amazed at the power of

Genetic Memory and Energy,

the voices within the spirit that

gives us life.

I am thankful for

SCIENCE

and the answers it provides

as Truth beyond doubt.

Critical Thought

is humankind's greatest attribute.

Through it we find

the paths to

Health, Happiness, Knowledge, Freedom 

and the wisdom they reveal.

I am amazed at the realization that 
I have been blessed with 
a beautiful family
and an honorable lineage.

There is nothing more I could ask for.
My UniVerse 
is everlasting and never void. 
Ever-expanding. 
Ever-loving.

Within my ancestry I have found 
great examples of purity.

Hope is no longer an illusion.

Connecting with Mother Earth and Caring for our Natural Resources from the Concrete Jungle

   Reconnecting with Mother Earth in the Concrete Jungle 

   The lifestyle of the concrete jungle makes it easy for those of us who live in it to lose sight of the role every person on Earth plays in the preservation of our natural resources. The fact that lifestyle in the inner city consists of participating in a capitalist system makes it easy for us to take our natural resources in the city for granted. We tend to overuse valuable resources such as water, because we know that as long as we have some money, we will be able to pay the bill at our convenience and as long as we pay something, those resources will be there for us to enjoy. 
Lately, as I have found myself in a tighter-than-usual economic situation, I am becoming more conscious of the value of these resources as well as of our dependability towards services like water, power and gas. But not only that, I am also remembering the teachings of my mother and grandmother in regards to our relationship to the elements that not just make our life comfortable but are sacred as well. 
I remember once when I was a small girl my mother told me to go wash my hands. When I got to the sink I opened the cold water almost full blast. She quickly decreased the flow of the water telling me: "Ey, que no sabes que hay que cuidar el agua?!!"  (Hey, don't you know we have to take care of the water?!) . I said nothing since I didn't remember hearing that ever before. She proceeded to explain that clean water was sometimes very hard to get for some people in the world. That water can heal if it's clean or infect us if it's contaminated. And that it was my responsibility to take care of it since we could never be sure if it will be there for us tomorrow unless we do our best to take care of it. 
Another experience that has also been constant in my mind lately is the time my abuelita was watering her plants. I was also very small so of course, I wanted to help her. As I was watering her plants I realized she was talking and singing to them in a very loving way. This surprised me so I asked her why she spoke to them "asi" (like that). She explained to me that every plant has a special quality about it that made it unique and that each plant and tree has many purposes and healing properties. That we needed to communicate and bond with them just like we do with each other and with animals. She also explained that each of them has a personality and that they can become sad or unhealthy if they feel neglected by us.
I am just now coming to appreciate the value of teachings like these. I could not understand at the time that these were ancient ways of being one with the earth that were now being passed down to me because soon it was going to be MY TURN to take responsibility for my presence on Earth and our collective future. Now that I am a mother, I have the privilege to pass these teachings to my daughter as well. She can still honor and practice these teachings even though she is growing up in the city. Unlike me who grew up in the rich valleys and sierras.
We can all show our appreciation for our natural resources by improving little things in our everyday behavior such as:

• Regulating flow of water when use it in the sink.
• Taking shorter showers and being aware of how long our showers take to heat up. This way we can save water and gas.
• Picking up after ourselves when we have outings. So many people just throw trash on the floor adding to the already existing pollution and by not taking responsibility for our garbage we create a good environment for  bacteria and viral infections to develop
• Replacing foreign flora for native plants and trees that produce. A lot of the urban vegetation in cities, specially in Los Angeles, are of Asian origin and do not produce. If we replace our lawns and invasive and non producing flora with native herbs, bushes and trees that produce or conserve water, our urban vegetation will in turn become an investment in our community as opposed to just an expense. When we plant fruit trees, medicinal herbs and bushes, these plants will provide fruits, veggies, herbs for tinctures, teas and some can even be used as hygiene products.  Having these resources handy gives us the opportunity for economic growth.

Let's come up with more ways in which we can do our part to preserve our natural resources and uplift our community. Our concrete jungle residency is no excuse to neglect our existing resources and the creation and preservation of our natural resources. It's up to us to determine how far we go in our path to fulfillment.

Sporadik Internal Mental Questions - BrainStorm Freestyle 1

We all go through a transition into maturity. 

The question in my mind is: 

How do I hang on to my ideals maintaining the purity of my intentions as a child of Tonantzin, yet weeding out all the least favorable choices of action based on actuality?

How do I maintain my spirit pure enough to be in sync with the forces of Earth, the Cosomos and Humanity?

I MUST REACH ENLIGHTENMENT IN ORDER TO PLACE THE HIGHEST TRUST UPON MY INNER VOICE. 

The hidden Spirit of Creator that lives in me.

Stone Womban

Savage blood now awakens my state in the depth of the solar plex-US MOST HIGH- energetic charge;

As I watched from the shore the filth of evil wash up and stick under my toes making me run slow as I reach for my arrows, 

The pact was resealed, give sound to the voiceless, enough to crack the spine from the root to the heart chakra. 

Life is acknowledged in a scientific realm.

Physical law and effect. Results vary but the pain in the same.

In time of war there's always someone to protect.

If you're alive, let me see you take a step where all games come to an end and the sacrifice is great...

But reward is even greater. Knowledge you'll discover that is both CORRECT and SACRED.

In time you'll be consumed by the work that's at hand and you just might fall in sadness, but remember to immerse yourself in flowers and repeat:

"There's not GOD but the one, of intelligent design manifested in my genes and the path that I walk... Sacrifice for life in this way become stone. Activate new realms in this way become..."

-Stone Wombman. Frozen in time. Winters and Springs recorded in my heart. Eternal life is the gift of concoiusness. Agreements with the time keeper. Life I protect.

I'm firm like a commandment and I fight like a savage!

fight like a SAVAGE! FIGHT LIKE A SAVAGE! FIGHT LIKE A SAVAGE, A SAVAGE, A SAVAGE!!

Among the doves and the crows I explode with my vizion to deform sacrilegious puppet masters, I'm here to dispose of with ease;

Watch and observe as I do Gung Fu, Buddah breathing techniques, reconnect with my -G- and remember:

Life for me ain't a kiss or nice touches. 

I be the justice seeker. Genetically coded. Specifically chosen to loosen up the clutches...

Fill up the space everyone refused to take. 

It's not about the name but the life you create for those who remain after you return to the Earth.

Activate new realms in this way become:

-Stone Wombman. Frozen in time. Winters and Springs recorded in my heart. Eternal life is the gift of concoiusness. Agreements with the time keeper. Life I protect.

"A Place of No Shadows" -[freestyle poem 1]

I'm like a ghost,

perception of time passing does not exist to me. 

Only the ever-present...The constant knowledge of existing.

No herb or drug alters my mind.

Like a spirit, subject to the frequencies of conscious acknowledgements. 

My sorrow is that some people die without ever knowing a passion for life like mine. 

The flow of a song may seem sporadik, but it is not so in reality...

It's all a premeditated arrangement of a creator. Ordered scientifically to create an emotion in the heart. 

Miscellaneous thoughts of love created by the mind and dreams egos create.

Tears emerge as I acknowledge the power of life.

The beauty of the clarity of the heart.

To know who I am. Who I truly am. 

Without any shadows of doubt.
