Before Time & Space …and back between Music & Science
It was the most collosal explosion in history and it happened in a billionth of a billionth of 1 second; and it did all this without making a sound because…
…theory, “Sound does not propegate in space”. “The black void of space is something…so is time”
“It was the explosion of space and time into the existence”

Thanksgiving: Chippewa
The Chippewa were a “band” or “tribal group” who were a part of the Ojibwe/Potawatomi and also known as “the great lakes indians”; actually Chippewa is another variation of the tribe Ojibwe who I mentioned previously in my post about Potawatomi.
Below are a few of the many great Chippewa Chiefs

I’ve always liked MukLuks…
These Ojibwa MukLuks run at $300.., nice.
These are called Wildcat boots.

Time, Really…what does it all mean?
Please not a trillion years…
This is an interesting and inspiring article on Linear and Cyclical Time from http://www.skybooksusa.com/time-travel
The Hebrew view of time also includes the concept that time moves from event to event in a line—not a straight line, to be sure, but towards a goal. The goal is always the future, yet the goal intended by God is always to be fulfilled in history. Bible prophecies frequently have both an immediate and a long-term fulfillment, for example. In the Bible, sins are seen to have consequences that follow inevitably, moral choices lead to measurable results for good or for ill, and history proceeds towards the definite outworking purposes of God.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” (Matthew 7:14, 15)
A consummation of the ages lies ahead, for which all else has been but a shadowy preparation. In both ancient Greek culture, (among the Pythagoreans, Stoics and Neoplatonists), and in Hindu culture (especially during the Vedic period, 1500-600 BC), one runs onto the concept of circular, or cyclical time. This is sometimes symbolized by the uroboros, the snake chasing his own tail. In this view of time, the beginning leads back around to the end, and the cycle starts all over again. The Babylonians, ancient Chinese, Aztecs, Mayans, and the Norse had cyclical calendars.
In pantheistic religious systems of thought the universe is often depicted as going through great long epochs of rebirth, growth, decay, and destruction. The Hindu cycles, for example, range from 360 human years, to 300 trillion years (which is the lifetime of the gods before their rebirth). Reincarnation—which has no basis in the Bible at all (see Hebrews 9:27)—springs from such an Eastern pantheistic point of view. Augustine was among the first to insist on linear time as opposed to cyclical, since he observed that many important events in the Bible clearly happened one time only. Since clocks were not well-developed until the 14th Century, it was perhaps easier for the ancients to imagine events in history as recurring since the four seasons and patterns of the stars in the heavens were cyclical.

Classic: Donna Summer
One of my favorite artists. I remember hearing her music for the first time at 16…or at least putting the name with the face. Last year I found out one of my main hairstylist is her current main hairstylist that goes on tour with her. I’ve got to step my game up so I can get a lesson blessing from the disco queen!
I FEEL LOVE
This is a video mix of the song I Feel Love. The dance she is doing with her arms I’ve seen before…its actually a traditional Egyptian dance.
LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY

How To Always Bring A Steady Game To My Matches?
November 3rd, 2009
I play tournaments every week but i can’t seem to bring my game together on match day.
At training i play great but in matches i only play a good point once every two games.
One day i beat the number 4 seed the next day i lose to a hacker. How can i always bring my steady and aggressive game to my matches?
———————————————————————————————————
First, you can’t always bring your steady game. Top players don’t win all the time.
We are humans and not robots – we have good days and bad days.
The more you accept bad days as something normal, the sooner they will disappear and the less they will appear.
What you resist, persists.
Second, you may be tense because your focus is on what you don’t want to happen (lose) instead of what you do want to happen. (win)
If you think about winning and how good it feels, you’ll feel energized and positive – and you can play better in that state.
If you think about losing and how bad you’ll feel, you’ll feel tense and negative. Your energy levels will drop and “worry” will start running in your mind disrupting your concentration – and you play poor in that state.
Therefore, always focus on what you want and don’t focus on what you don’t want.
You can CHOOSE your thoughts. If negative thoughts appear, replace them with positive. It’s a constant battle within your mind.
Start winning it by choosing what you will think that will allow you to play well.

Books: The Book of 1001 Nights
When is THE night?!
Ever have one of those reoccurring dreams that continues on and on and on? This book interests me…but who knows when we’ll have time to read it?
As described by Wikipedia…
One Thousand and One Nights (Arabic: كتاب ألف ليلة وليلة Kitāb ‘alf layla wa-layla; Persian: هزار و یک شب Hezār-o yek šab) is a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights’ Entertainment.[1]
The original concept is most likely derived from an ancient Sassanid Persian prototype that relied partly on Indian elements,[2] but the work as we have it was collected over many centuries by various authors, translators and scholars across the Middle East and North Africa. The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature. In particular, many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era, while others, especially the frame story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hazār Afsān (Persian: هزار افسان, lit. Thousand Tales). Though the oldest Arabic manuscript dates from the 14th century, scholarship generally dates the collection’s genesis to around the 9th century.
What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryar (from Persian: شهريار, meaning “king” or “sovereign”) and his wife Scheherazade (from Persian: شهرزاده, meaning “townswoman”) and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more.
Some of the best-known stories of The Nights, particularly “Aladdin’s Wonderful Lamp”, “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” and “The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor”, while almost certainly genuine Middle-Eastern folk tales, were not part of The Nights in Arabic versions, but were interpolated into the collection by its early European translators.

Symbols: ArcheTypes
According to Crystalinks.com…
ArcheTypes are visual symbols or energetic imprints that exist in our psyches. Some are readily understood while others bring subliminal messages that are there to help you trigger your memory of why you are here and the truth behind the illusion of reality. Archetypes can often convey messages that verbal and written information cannot.
Archetypes are found everywhere, as their symbols are a language of the mind, taken to different frequencies of thought and connected to each other by the collective unconsciousness. There are individual and universal archetypes. You become aware of them in meditation, dreamtime, remote viewing or other out-of-body experiences, when you doodle on a pad, crop circles or landscape art, other art forms, jewelry, hieroglyphs, a logo, on a billboard, anywhere at all. Archetypes can also be auditory, a tone, a series of notes, a harmonic. Reality is a series of metaphors set into motion by the SYNCHRONICITY of archetypes we experience.
The term Archetype began with Carl Jung. In Jung’s terms, ‘Archetype’ is defined as the first original model of which all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are merely derivative, copied, patterned, or emulated. These patterns derive from a universal collective unconscious which in metaphysics is called the Grids, Akashic Records, Sea of Consciousness, that which creates our reality. In this context, archetypes are innate prototypes for ideas, which may subsequently become involved in the interpretation of observed phenomena.
Master or Universal archetypes are created by the patterns of Sacred Geometry.
Tko, OK...

Thanksgiving: Potawatomi
The Potawatomi (also spelled Pottawatomie and Pottawatomi, among many variations) are a Native American people of the upper Mississippi River region. They traditionally speak the Potawatomi language, a member of the Algonquian family. In the Potawatomi language, they generally call themselves Bodéwadmi, a name that means “keepers of the fire” and that was applied to them by their Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) cousins. They originally called themselves Neshnabé, a cognate of the word Anishinaabe. The Potawatomi were part of a long term alliance with the Ojibwe and Ottawa, called the Council of Three Fires. In the Council of Three Fires, Potawatomi were considered the “youngest brother.” ~ Wikipedia

Interesting concept…
Considering how polluted Los Angeles is this would be a total transformation and renewal process. As much studying that has been done on botany in the last 10 years this may become a reality. Plants help us breath better.
