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.
