Cultures of Resistance

To be civilized

To be civilized, from my understanding, is to be highly domesticated to the point of complacency. All originality is socialized out of you and spontaneity is neutralized through conventional contemporary western education which consequentially drys out the creative spirit and leaves it in a state of anorexia. I feel that if I am to survive such deadly traps of institutionalization and colonialism then I must turn my back completely on the education industrial complex. I must cut off the tel-a-vision and and tune into something more significant that has true nutritional and spiritual value. I must seek consultation from Nature and the cosmos and reference ways of relating that have a cultural relevance. I must build a bridge so that I may travel back and forth freely and invite others who might be of light mind and heart. Yeah I said it, its time to find out who I really am underneath all this socialization.

Can It Be All So Simple

11?
this is so funny to me.
My master number is the 37th chamber! LOL. (screaming all loud shooting his blazing arrows at the Gods
and defying the stars in a heated argument with gaseous elements)
"King Kong aint got shit on me."
Energy swelling, inhaling and exhaling
the fertilized soil of mother earth,
...taking in the beams of father sun,
grandmother moon is protruding from my third eye,
comfortable in complete darkness,
swimming in the abyss where others are terrified to confide or reside.
Take a deeper look inside
Brothers and sister trying to fill the void with nonsense
But its meant to be so hollow and void that the force sucks in light
And out comes a love so transcending and mind bending....

A love worthy to be shared with children
With Old Men and Women
A love so tender that it wounds the mind, heart, and spirit
It pierces the hearts of the corrupt and the righteous
Dancing and spiraling throughout the inner and outer Cosmos
Turning us back to our original forms of song and light
Can it be all so simple?
Our very dreams were true as the laughter of children
And the heart was the primary perceptionary organ

Freedom Schools as a Catalyst

We are powerful beyond our imaginations. What we imagine we can achieve. We all have a genius that is dormant and awaiting to be awakened and unfortunately for many of us, conventional education has set us on a wretched journey to find out who we are when who we are was with us in the beginning of our childhood. We had it right as children but through the fear and the need to control us we were taken away far from Home (Our Heart). Many of us live so disconnected from nature, from the great cosmos, from global community, and guess what was the great connection we once had. It was our heart that bridged it all. True education is an act of love and from my understanding; I have not felt that love in the Educational Industrial Complex.
It is time to engage true education that will re-ignite our intuition and the 13 senses. It is time to come full circle. Its time to remember our childhood spirit and invoke it, invite it to return once again and teach us those valuable lessons we should have learned instead of learning to be predictable, complacent, and domesticated. Instead of learning to fill in those senseless little bubbles and regurgitate trivial information without critical consciousness. We are truly powerful beyond our imaginations and when we re-awaken the childhood spirit the world will indeed be different for the better and it will be an irreversible positive change.
