Disco Daddy the First Rapper in the West.

Disco Daddy Interview: The Pioneer of West Coast Hip Hop
By Myrrhlin





Now some of you might remember West Coast rappers such as Dr Dre, Eazy E, and Ice Cube. However there is someone I would like to introduce to you, if you haven't already had the pleasure of getting to know him. His real name is Michael Khalfani and he wants to take you on an adventure that you will never forget. First West Coast Emcee, First West Coast Hip Hop DJ, and creator of the famous LA Breakers! We are about to go back .....WAY BACK....40 years in time....can you diggit? I want you to close your eyes and think about what Los Angeles was like at the time....1970... if you weren't there.....ready? Ok ....HERE WE GO.....


Myrrhlin- What's the 1st time you experienced Hip Hop? Who was doing it and Where?
Disco Daddy- Now experience Hip Hop again this is the thing...i started in this game before the label was attached to it. It hadn't spread out here on the words “Hip Hop” they were using it in '75 by Grandmaster Flash and Cowboy....Out here....its hard to define when Hip Hop started on the West Coast so I always look at it as....when I made my record...the first West Coast Hip Hop Rap record. That was my first time, I was a rhyming DJ from 76-79. There was no scratching then, so a DJ was basically the man that controlled the party. I grew up with DJ's that did in my mind that what A DJ did....as a night club DJ you had to make your name by having a perfect tight ass mix and throw in your own personality, like writing rhymes. LIttle short rhymes in between songs. I grew up listening to Frankie Crocker in the 60s on WWRL. So that's what I was into 1976 during the Showcase nightclub on Adams and Crenshaw. When I auditioned I made up little rhymes, Jean Hardy liked how I threw in rhymes in between and he said "You know what I'm gonna give you the job, what are you gonna call yourself?" At the time my lady was pregnant with our first child, my daughter, so I had to come up with a name... well this is my first job in the disco and this is my first baby so I'm gonna call myself Disco Daddy! And I thought up the name right there. So as far as rappin and rhymin in 1979 when Rappers Delight record came out I first heard it and said "I CAN DO THAT!!" So I quit my job as a disco DJ. I was already known in LA number one DJ at the Showcase and the Workshop Disco, there were only 2 clubs that were teenage clubs in LA and I was a DJ at both of them. Ok... LA was much different than New York. Out here, You couldn't do park jams unless you had a permit. We didnt' develop the same way.




Myrrhlin-How did news travel so quickly from East to West coast without the internet and social media?
DD- We had record pools. Michael Mixxing Moore, Andre from the Carolina West and myself. At the record pools when we would pick up new records they would tell us about new records. like this is Schooly D he's a rapper from Chicago because rap wasn't big out here until rappers delight (79) I did a rap record that wasn't playing.... this is nice, but you know what is this? I had heard of rap and knew that it existed because my brothers and sisters were living in New York at the time, but there was no rap presence on the west at the time like there is now. Trying to take you back to a time when all radio was R & B we got new radios singles that were 12 inch dance singles that nobody had ever really heard played before every now and then there would be a rap record like Schooly D but it never caught on until Rappers Delight. Everybody then said it was a fad that it wasn't gonna last like disco duck era. The feeling in 79 was that it was gonna fade out, yes there were people trying, but at that time there wasn't anyone who really wanted to seriously go into the studio and record rap records. They were looking at rap from the outside looking in saying, “Is this gonna be here next year?” “Should I invest money into this a record like this?”....”or even put a group together?” And putting groups together back then to do that type of music was not heard of because naturally there were no people doing it. It took a while for the record to filter into the consciousness of young people then they start writing their own raps, that was a period of transition from lovin R & B to getting into rap. You couldn't walk through the streets or clubs and find a couple of rappers like you could today. It took a year or two for that to happen, but I was the first to start going to nightclubs because I was in the Southern California Disc Jockey Association when I quit my job I called Doctor D at the Speakeasy. D I'm trying to rap.... called Andre at Carolina West told him and Ricky Rick at the Hobart club....I was able to go to nightclubs now because I quit my job as a Dicsco DJ... that I was never able to go to before you see because I would be working on the weekends.... I knew all the Djs.... I now had a head start to be able to rap in the clubs over everyone else.


I was now able to go to clubs and RAP...and get my shit tight and see what worked and what didn't work....see ...I had to invent alot of stuff myself. Up until Kurtis Blow saying "put your hands in the air" there were no standard lines that everybody used at the time...so when I talk to people about this I have to take them back in time ....there wasn't solo rappers much at that time. Up until then there was Boots and him. If you were gonna make a rap record you usually at that time get a group with a DJ.... they didn't have your Grandmaster Caz or single rappers on stage like in New York...so when I went to the clubs out here thats because I went to all the night clubs with only black Djs.


Myrrhlin- What opportunity presented itself for you to participate in Hip Hop?
Disco Daddy- I was the first rapper anybody actually ever saw..... it was so popular and I only did 2-3 minute sets and the club owner would pay me 50$ and tell me to come back i was the only rapping at that time. I would go to 3-4 clubs on Friday and Saturday night do 2-3 minute sets.... and TURN THE PLACE OUT!! From 79-81 that was the growth period for Disco Daddy. When people saw me preform they were standing around asking themselves...”are we supposed to dance or are we supposed to watch this?” Hahaha...Being a Disc Jokey I had a year or so ahead in 1980. See the contest in '81 was the final step it was the first time that a night club gave a rap contest in conjunction with a radio station KPFJ, since the music hadn't disappered, Rap was growing on the East Coast and they want to see if anyone would come out for two unknown cats. That was the first time that people got to see a rap battle on the west coast. I rapped for two straight years from '79 to '81 before I entered the 1st contest at the Carolina West against Ice T and Duffy Hooks was there in the audience. After the 2nd week when I beat him, Duffy Hooks offered me the recording contract.




M- What was your motivation at the time ?
DD-This is the thing I left new york before jumped off...I got out of the airforce in 70-71 and I moved to LA because I was an actor. I am a trained theatre actor. All the trained black stage actors all these guys that made these blaxploitation movies were from New York. Hollywood is still Hollywood they wanted the best actors no matter where you come from. All those people moved out here because there was work. I got out of the airforce... this where I wanted to come to I was thinking I was gonna be the next Richard Raltree, make me a Shaft movie or two...heheh. From 74-79 first blaxplotation movies, all those lead actors were New York stage actors who transfered into film. Do some research James Earl Jones, Glynn Thurman.... I fell into being a DJ....then after an Emcee... I never foresaw any of this....


M-What resources did you have, Money? Equpiment?
DD- None. The record pools were the only source of 12" records for music to rap over. Rock skate roll bounce 12"... the Sheik... Good Times....that was what everybody at that time thought was the shit.... till 1980 there were others that started to rap, but I beat em all in battles because I was a DJ.... I knew how to rock the crowd and as an entertainer I already knew what they wanted to hear.




M-When did you see all 4 Elements of Hip Hop come together on the West Coast for the 1st time?


DD- 1983 was when I was when I got hip to the Club Radiotron. It openned in 1980. Before that graffiti was last to join the other elements indoors and before that was breakin'. Complete reverse of New York. These elements grew together...there was only one place to go...to exhibit their art where they had the freedom to paint. They would create these big boards....week by week you could come in and there would be a different entire background that someone had painted up the next week. They would come in without having to fear the police would exercise their art. A night club that accepted them. They would make jackets and clothing pieces for some of the rappers. That's how it started to get personal... you get you a Levi jean jacket....there using the same thing to tag the walls... spray paint on the back of the jackets. They realized they could do this on clothing. They would take loose jeans and paint them all up as well.. that's where you first had graffiti blending into the lifestyle and it became Hip Hop that way the more colorful the better......The dancing was colorful, the clothing became colorful.


M- When did you find out you were the first successful recording artist on the West Coast for Hip Hop?


DD- My daughter introduced me to Myspace back in the mid 2000s.... after she had seen that people were trying to take credit for the LA Breakers. So I stated checkin it out and everything. Micahel Mixxin' Moore died in mid 2000s... I think 2006. He told Danny, “If you ever wanna know about the beginnings of West Coast Hip Hop then You gotta find Disco Daddy.” He had never heard of DIsco Daddy....Danny went to KJLH radio to tell them that there was going to be a funeral for Michael Mixxin' Moore. I happened to turn on the radio and here there was going to be a service for him. I immediately picked up the phone and called the radio station and got through saying I would like to attend the funeral...”Who are you?”... My name is Micahel Khalfani as known as Disco Daddy!!... Yeah it was really a trip, and so I met Danny... he showed me how to use the internet and Myspace to start promoting the record. He got in touch with Captain Rapp, who I hadn't seen in 15 years, DJ flash, all these people from my past whom I was associated with. I started a campaign later when Facebook started, never knew that it would help me, but it brought me back from obscurity. Only reason I'm talking to you right now is because of the internet; something that has helped me get my name out there so people can see what I look like, what I did, and for the interest and the rebirth of Hip Hop. In 1999 Billboard music had an article called the History of Hip Hop and the first time I saw my name and they said it was the first West Coast rap record!


M-Were there any Females rappin during this time?


DD- First female I saw in LA around 1980 ...which I can't find her now...her name was Rockin Roz. At different clubs and places that I would go to that they had rappin... Roz would pop up... she was the only female I ever saw. And after '83 I saw her, she had a baby... she had been signed to a label.. Johnzo records...Johnzo had a studio on Crenshaw boulevard. Never heard anymore from her.




M-What was the ethnicity spread like during the Showcase era to club Radiotron?
DD- Because of the area Radiotron was located at in a heavily Black and Latino community these were the seeds of Hip Hop. When breakin' started to become more popular it didn't matter what color you were. It wasnt about...what you white boys doin here anymore....it turn into..”What you got?” if you have a level of skill it didn't matter... That was the power of Hip Hop! Nothing else like that would make these kids get together like this except this artform. So, I understood how in New York they could build a Zulu Nation and how it could expand worldwide because of the brotherhood it created of these kids getting in a circle and watch each other, then one of them poppin up to do to do better than the next cat. It was simply about this artform. That's where culture comes from....where all these little normally insignifigant things that we pick out... where you don't eat the same foods as mine, you are a different color that me you aren't supposed to be here dancing together. They had love for one thing...and that's Hip Hop. It will be multi-cultural as long as there is one thing and that is Hip Hop.




M- Why did you stop rappin and what happened to Disco Daddy?


DD- For a moment... before the internet came along...I'd been lost in history.... you might have heard the name disco daddy you could find the record was on the air.... we never took any publicity pictures back then...Disco Daddy and Captain Rapp nobody ever knew what we looked like. When we actually got a radio station in LA to play our record and it actually happened we were shocked....and Duffy, our producer, he didn't have any money to print up copies of the record...he wasn't prepared. JB Stone the program director he brought us into a meeting... he told Duffy he wanted to take the record national we gonna recut it and we gonna put the record in all the major cities....Duffy and his father came from a period where black people always get screwed over.... you turn over your master to somebody else you will never get paid for it... and he turned the deal down. This was a deal that was setup with the program director of the radio station!


Me and Captain Rapp are looking at each other, because this is our first record.... this is our whole future that you are making a decision that cut us off.... from BLOWIN UP!!!! We fell out with Duffy. We wanted to leave the label we felt like we could do better somewhere else... Motown actually called us.... and in the meantime, we sent the masters to Billy Jefferson who used to own Jazz City Records, he's a slime ball ...from under a rock.... the type that I just happened to meet in the very beginning of my career.... Duffy sold the masters to him instead of Cletus Anderson. Billy asked us to sign with him.... I don't wanna sign to him.... He told me if you don't sign with me, I'm gonna change the name of the group to Captain Crunch and the Funky Bunch....and so I'm in a position I got a record that's being played my masters been sold to somebody...I gotta sign with him.... I sign with him and recorded Zodiac Rhymes...and he ends up changing the name of the record any damn ways.... which prevented us from touring and making money for our pockets. Motown called us after this happened to sign us as the first rap act, they saw the success, but I couldn't sign because the rights were already sold.
In 1985 there was a huge epidemic of crack in the neighborhoods....so I wrote a jam called chasin' the rock...I couldn't go under the name Disco Daddy anymore so I had to change my name, only time I ever changed my name so I went under the name Megabite. I took the song to Celtus anderson and he said "They won't get the anti drug message...kids are gonna be walking around snapping their fingers singing the hook...chasin' the rock." I never thought about it that way...hahaha...back in the day you had to be careful what you were saying in the early day radio was very sensitive to drug related and/or bad language....it wasn't like the gansta rap era later. We recorded it and its out there on YouTube now....
After that I said.... wow I'm through with this.
After '85 my kids was growing up I got into being a parent my babies' moms in late 89-90 started having problems and I went and got all my kids and I became a single parent for the next 6 years raising three teenagers.




M-What are you currntly doing as an elder to support the preservation of Hip Hop Kulture?
DD- I am currently on the advisary board for the Universal Hip Hop Museum in New York that they are creating in the future. I am also about to get started working on a bus tour for Los Angeles tourists to see the sights and attractions of West Coast Hip Hop and its origins. And of course my book, "What Ever Happened to Disco Daddy" is being published soon to preserve the true 100% organic story of the beginnings of West Coast Hip Hop.

Hip Hop and the Platonic Solids Breakdown

A basic overview of the 5 major elements of Hip Hop, how they are seen on a deeper look and their properties based on Plato's Platonic Solids.. and some feats and endeavors it took for this movement and kulture to become what it is known for today.  Predating Plato, the neolithic people of Scotland developed the 5 solids a thousand years earlier. The stone models are kept in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England.  Seen and unseen in everything, Mathematics is apart of our nature of universal truth and everything that surrounds us. Because of the calculations used in describing the geometry involving angles and vertices, there can be only 5 Platonic solids!  Plato concluded that they must be the fundamental building blocks—the atoms—of nature, and assigned to them what he believed to be the essential elements of the universe. He followed the earlier philosopher Empedocles in assigning fire to the tetrahedron, earth to the cube, air to the octahedron, and water to the icosahedron.



Breakdancin evolved from tribal as well as synchronization movement to break-beats. This represents FIRE and the physical that ignites Hip Hop's torch to be carried Olympic style thru the ages to come. Its shape is shown when a B-boy or B-girl stands with their feet shoulders' width apart and their arms over their head extended to the palms facing each other touching finger tips as a tetrahedron. When a B-boy or B-girl is spinning on his or her head with feet and hands extended outwards upside down representing an upside down star tetrahedron, showing that when the body is trained thru vigorous exercise it is able to pull the upper and lower divine triangles into equilibrium at the core. The only other art form of dance that comes close to this is Capoeira, a Brazilian form of martial arts from South America which involves lots of inversions as well as acrobatics. The body uses this form of communication to express its highest state in the form of plasma (Remember all stars are made of mainly plasma). With the amount of excitement from seeing a person use their body like a contortionist to high flying accents to fancy footwork. There is so much potential stored before and kinetic energy moving around afterwards! To see the colors are a result of relaxation of electrons in excited states to lower energy states after they have recombined with ions. These processes emit light in a spectrum characteristic of gas being excited.  Meaning that if you were to use an auric camera you would see an array of fireworks displayed!!!      Breakdancin is tuned to a lower frequency at least 30 hz which is much closer to the DJ than other elements. It could be viewed like colloidal silver opening up the body and breaking free of any limitations that have been put on the vessel. Self healing to those who participate in such an art form of extravagance and elegance as well as versatility.

 A Disc Jockey or a DJ (also seen as DeeJay) is one who preforms the art of riding a horse that marches to a beat while constantly playing polo with the needle and various records.  LOL Just kidding....  It is actually a person whom takes vinyl records on one or more turntables and spins, mixes and scratches them to a beat.  The DJ sets the tone for grounding to the earth at 7.83 hz frequency. The vibration of the Heart can be felt in the beat, this is the reason why so many cherish Hip Hop on a simple level and feel comfort. The back bone it is so solid catering to the audience and the culture and other elements @ the same time. When the diamond needle was invented it brought Djin to the completion The clarity, pitch, and durability were most noteworthy at this time. The synchronicity of the Record pathways manipulating tie and space proves the DJ is the gatekeeper of a powerful time machine able to take us thru multiple genres and decades of music instantaneously.  The Cube is the original shape of a turntable.. now a rectangular prism with 6 faces or hexahedron.  Without a DJ, Hip Hop would merely be another genre, however since being conceived, Hip Hop has birthed a boundary less precision master tool bringing so many different walks of life together for the sake of music empowerment.


Graffiti is the fluidity of Hip Hop. It takes on so many various shapes and forms to bring higher visions unto the viewer motivating the mind to map out unknown territory as an outlet of projection. From trains to subways to billboards to bridges to ramps to parking garages and so many other places. Ordinary walls become the talk of the town and street murals become the cities pride. An art form that truly says "the world is my canvas." Some call it vandalism, only if it is used in a way that does not provide an intellectual outlet it is vandalism of the mind. At a frequency of ~42.7 KHZ it is the highest in the elements and is very quick, sharp, and effective at penetrating our oculars. Only takes less than 5 seconds to see sumthing and recognize it. On the other hand, what makes things interesting is how many faces an Icosahedron has ... 20 compared to the other elements showing us the complexity and versatility which is why it shines as Hip Hop's Present day Golden Hieroglyphics. To the average eye, so above and beyond comprehension that we have to decipher what we consider having what happens already seen to start to unravel what it is telling us about our future of language.


Emcee or MC an abbreviation for Master of Ceremony.  To be an Emcee is being the bird of your choice with the wind of upliftment of our culture from an inner voice that cannot be silenced no matter what happens. With wings spread as far and wide... Calling upon the spirit of all knowing. Tuned to a frequency of 500hz where the air resides in our bodies.. in between the heart and the solar plexus at the diaphragm. Sound is brought to you by air molecules. In fact, an octahedron shows that air is hot and wet sharing similarities to a tetrahedron (so above so below showing the right side up and upside down adjoining at an equilibrium point of zero. There is water in the air, even within the driest of climates on the planet. Of course there is the whole being brought into an artists work from lowest to highest frequency as well....   There is an overall Meaning that an Emcee has the ability to bring spirit into the physical as well as communicating the visions of fluidity. An Emcee can invite the the boiling point of the flow and intertwine the other elements into stronger bond thru communication. Shamans of ancient times were known for going thru ceremonies to reach a trans-personal state within their journey this can be done in different ways... Some Emcees know this to be a form of freestyle.  That is why I see platinum as being an emcee.  Platinum is more ductile than gold and silver meaning able to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable not brittle.  Also when viewing an emcee push the limits of breath which is definitely needed at times during a show or act.. platinum reacts with oxygen slowly at high temperatures such as when the dance floor gets ROCKIN!  Another way of looking at it is....usually an Emcee is directing the crowd and the ceremony in conjunction with the DJ and ART being displayed. Think on that one.. however... there are so many great things to be said about these great speakers of Hip Hop, but without the other elements the Emcee is just a diplomat!

Of course if you know the Platonic solids well... you realize I forgot one.. and that's the Dodecahedron.  Whoops! Well after much heated debate over quite sometime since its inception  This one is considered highly linked to the state of ether or aetherTo the dodecahedron Plato assigned the element cosmos, reasoning that, since it was so different from the others in virtue of its pentagonal faces, it must be what the stars and planets are made of.  However we know today that we are made of dead stars and we have seen people do things that make them.  The Dodecahedron is the knowledge of the culture...our 5th element of Hip Hop.  It can transmute electromagnetic energy used to manifest reality much like a stargate to other dimensions.


Hip Hop in its peak of delivery is a synthesis of all 5 major ellamentz. This creates a Unified Vector Geometry Sphere, same pattern shown in Self, our planetary grid structure, and our entire UnIverse. Omnidirectional. Anyone who has seen these 4 combined knows beyond the shadow of any doubt the complementary, reciprocacy, and energetic fusion.  Like seeing a galaxy for the first time in a telescope when all elements are together so many stars so much splendoor....the Sum of Awe...its AWESUM!  Mainstream media is leaving behind for the sake of exploitation, and "watering down" of our culture. You might have heard the saying "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link"- well folks, there is no weakest link here...only the KNOT OF INFINITY.




Character- Do you have what it takes?


   Indeed we see analogies, identification correlations, and all sorts of interchanges of the culture throughout ourselves and world. So, as far as defining Hip Hop... it can mean anything to you, but what do you mean to Hip Hop? EVERYTHING!!! Defining self is one of the most important aspects of life. It is the interwoven fabric of our reality as we know it. Carefully choose to walk into your own secret garden or a place that is used for you to cultivate... look deep into the lush environment....we have cultivated... with our own definitions- plans, our ability to communicate them, and our work to build them...

 Now for the term Character, where it really sinks in. You can be just THAT... a person in life's fullest storybook, thumbing through real time sketch by sketch ink by ink no charades here just keep your head on until its time to blast off. When you decide to step forward in the light body between the layers of what has been defined and the undefinable- what has been brought to your mind as tangible, now its known, and processed by your brain as SEEN. Then there is the undefined land of imagination, it exists as is, waiting to be designed as well, the void somewhere that exists outside of space and time, also known as the UNSEEN. Are you still with me star?... OK, Now there is a place I'd like you to reintroduce you to and its called Knowhere- the place where you hone in on your definition on our YOUR own terms. This can be anything starting down to the very simple components of what makes you. A basis if you will for language, alternate tools, and ways of problem solving. Culturing of new microbes are taking place because we are taking the time to gaze upon the smallest of arrangements to formulate how we can alter the chemistry of a new reality. 

A step back we now see a new arrangement as well as a new found awareness with what hasn't been serving us. Character is being built from every interaction, how we view self, and thereafter the reflection of how we view the outside world. So onward with the journey, as long as it understood we cannot flee the past also overstood we have a need to make fundamental changes. Simply put living in the current moment fully and altering the present changes how we look at the future and the past as well. If you need an example, watch the Back to the Future Trilogy... What are you gonna do about it MCFLY??!? Its inevitable you will be challenged along the way....what you choose to do will reflect in character. This light and dark interweave of perspective and alchemy is built upon shadow casting, for every outstanding light every hue-man and hue-woahman are capable of In-Can-Descently emiting. In- because there's no other way to go to get out your greatest aspirations. Can- because you can do it if others have as well... you are not alone in this vast wild wide existence. Descent- because every wise ancestor from every different culture we are all related to has at some point in time and space had to make a decision of what their character was going to look like ultimately. We see so many different walks; their inklings, patterns, and carvings. What did they want to tell us? If treasure is worth unlocking, then a wealth of knowledge can't be BOUGHT!! The choice is always there. To be your own antagonist, maybe better put as a devils advocate... or take progressive steps towards opening up your world of versatility to being your own protagonist. These are obstacles and walls along the way whether we see them or not. Such a good reason why its crucial to let the heart-mind (Egyptian term for the mind in the heart referring to emotional IQ) sink in to the rhythm of life...then remember ONESELF is......... the greatest solution to their own problems. Many times how one deals with struggle shows character. Environmental factors accentuate the need for self discipline. Pressure mounts, stacking the odds against our favor in so many ways, social, family, institutions, psychological, etc. Now what can we choose to do?!? Solidification occurs after experiences necessary for internal growth are dealt with according to ones inner stregnth and recepiveness to the situations at hand. Seeing what is good for oneself is necessary. It is also good to remember how this will affect 7 generations after you as well.
Keyword here is EMBRACE. However it may seem to look on the surface, the important part is using whatever it takes inside of you to formulate a positive outcome for self from challenges to reach the pinnacle at apex termination, like the end of a perfectly cut crystal! We are here to rebuild, no need to worry about taking the blame for others false persecutions like imprisonment from authorities and our own minds. There's a recycling of nature that happens right before our very eyes...the discarded, hindering, useless must be taken apart and examine for what it really is.... its absolute value.... and mixed with the grown, excess, tried and true to bring about a composted mixture able to make any sprout not only survive and withstand...indeed thrivalous OVERGROW THE CONCRETE SYSTEMATIC JUNGLE AND MAKE YOUR OWN free flowing aqueduct used to serve self and humanity as an aqueous solution of mindful heartfelt words, speech, etiquette, and action for building the PROMISED LAND.


 The mirror is a reflection of you in some way shape and form until it takes a new way of producing shine to show, a living work in progress, to see through it and go forth in prismatic array of light from a palate you choose to crystallize yes your colors to choose! Its all a process of becoming a crystal meaning christened and blessed unfolding of smooth angles you choose to bring in problem solving. Solidified in ones arrangement of matter and density. Truth is formulated with a pattern of projected thoughts, sacred tones, and perceived light which makes precise projections and magnetic reasoning. Those angles work well in both the chosen and unchosen. Dipping into dark hues added to a crystal only shows its character along the way, remember no one is perfect! The spiritual conquest is being faceted/cut as well by what you didn't choose to focus your thoughts upon which in turn helped chose your words to speak, and finally how we decide to act. For example, From thinking true sky blue thoughts of yourself and others, conducting sound tones of encouragement to uplift yourself and those around you, and the choice to do righteous deeds for the betterment of mankind alchemicalized a sincere sapphire.


 In Chinese language, there are over 2,000 characters used to display and define importance of expression and living. Much different than the 26 letter alphabet we use commonly from Greek language derived from consonant constellations and vowel planets (TRUE STORY).... A lot of these letterings and characters use the simplest building blocks of the micro level for new foundation. One idea is create a character that represents your highest self from something significant either from an event that took place and unfolded or an event you would like to unfold.... a new found perspective and/or a fundamental essence derived. This is an open interpretation with many avenues, one point at a time until the dots are connected, and the lines begin to gather a new meaning for you. There is no difference in distance. The shine is in your shrine and amoung us... the stars ... U N I verse.
