Friday is daybreak

Some folks trust to reason others trust to might, I don't trust to nothin', but I know it comes out right. Say it once again now, whoa, I hope you'll understand. When it's done and over, lord, a man is just a man. Playin', playin' in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land. Some folks look for answers others look for fights, some folks up in treetops just a looking for their kites. Whoa, I can tell your future just look what's in your hand, but I can't stop for nothin' I'm just playing in the band. Playin', playin' in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land. Standin' on a tower world at my command, you just keep a turnin' while I'm playing in the band. And if a man among you got no sin upon his hand, let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band. Playin', playin' in the band. Daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Monday for a brighter future

Ever wonder what your imagination is? Sometimes I recall memories that never happened. The only logical explanation I can attach to this phenomena is that these memories are repressed memories from either past lives, or a passed down knowledge from our ancestors. Our species has been evolving for quite some time, and there must be some sort of regeneration of ideas that have lingered either in our DNA genetic makeup code, or even better in the cognitive sections of our brains.

Sometimes using the imagination as a window to our dreams, hopes, and fears is a little too real for me. Maybe it’s just the hallucinogenic back round I come from, but I strongly believe these sort of images and memories are actual past events. Such evidence occurs from people recounting events that they have never experienced. There are 2 options on deciding what these events actually are. The first, logical explanation is that our human brains are so far advanced that they can muster up these images and thoughts and play them off as pure imagination. Something purely fictitious that has occurred from obtaining subconscious ideas from the exterior i.e. television, magazines, stories and creating a reality from them.

But then there’s the other side. From experiencing ‘Lucid Dreaming', a blend of external information that is melted into several dreams over the course of a nights sleep, seem too real to not be. We all know dreams are completely inside the head, but as is everything else that we know and experience. Take a moment and contemplate this: everything you have ever heard, seen, smelled, touched, and tasted have all been obtained by our 5 senses. Every other imaginable interaction we can either not recognize or do not know how to, yet. Some people claim to have the ‘6th sense’ or a ‘third eye’. This is basically just a spiritual interaction wherein you can identify that there is something greater then us that has a hold on us, or looks over us. Religion has manipulated this idea into many different versions, but the best example I can give you is that we are all jellyfish swimming in an ocean, and that ocean is the divinity, or ‘god’. We have just personified this feeling to help understand this power and even bring ourselves closer to it, as if we were on the same level.

Getting back to my main point here, I believe that repressed thoughts that suddenly ‘come’ to us, come for a purpose. For instance, when you forget a particular detail, and it ‘comes’ to you later on- that isn’t an accident. If you can put your mind outside the box for a moment, imagine yourself as a radio. You have your dial set to a frequency, i.e. 97.5 or 101.7. What constitutes as a ‘radio station’ are objects that are beyond our radar – we do not have a sensory organ to confirm their existence. Only our brain power tuned to the right frequency can detect these sorts of projections. Tuning to the correct frequency opens up a gateway of knowledge that projects you in the correct direction, or following your ‘3rd eye’. So remembering these abstract incidences come to you when your ‘radio antenna’ tunes to the correct ‘frequency’ and obtains the knowledge from the ‘radio tower’. Yea, that’s pretty out of the box, good luck to most of you who have no idea what I’m rambling on about now.

In conclusion, memories are obtained. We receive memories, thoughts, and ideas from these ‘radio towers’ and they help project and excel our civilization, and only the people that learn to tune themselves to the frequency needed can advance our civilization. Even on a smaller scale, these adaptations used in the correct manner can improve one’s life tremendously. The trick is knowing how to set your dial. We can tune into memories and thoughts from previous generations that have been left for us. A sort of ‘internal history’ or an ‘unwritten history’. I believe tapping into this will bring great knowledge. Good luck, and Good day!
