If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Bobby McFerrin Made Me Curse, At First

Bobby McFerrin is a freakin' genius. He's been 'round long time but my discovery has not. Being familiar with “Don't Worry Be Happy” or a Cosby Show theme song ain't even a decent taste of his talent.

Observe these videos, absorb the playlist on this page and stroll through even more performances on Youtube. Now, the making of celestial sound...

1. Bach Ave Maria

2. Ave Maria again, but this time it's probably the best concert sing-along ever.

3. Thinkin' About Your Body

4. Turtle Shoes

5. Good Lovin'

6. A Piece, A Chord

7. Say Ladeo

By now, you know it wasn't Mr. McFerrin at all who made me curse. It was the surprising powerful impact of his purely filtered magnificence. I swore because I cheated myself for so long by being without this nourishing awareness and influence so easily within reach. How the heck can someone bring forth such sensational songs with only voice and body often making all or a majority of the tonal vibrations?

I take back what I said earlier. Bobby McFerrin is no genius. He's a wizard as in wisdom. No one creates magnitude of elemental good vibrations without their portion of divine spirit being aligned with what it needs to be.

I imagine myself smokin' a papyrus pipe, feasting on figs and Hapi water within the expansiveness of the Great Per-Neter while Mr. McFerrin, aligned with its apex and amplified by moonlight, becomes the notes of twinkling lights. He, carrying me along then leaving me to learn the histories and instructions lining walls and objects. I am educated by elements seeking to manifest through me and enrich the connecting chord.

Bobby McFerrin's emanations are matrimony of humanness and godliness. It is love chemistry borne of an almighty alchemist's formula. It comes together under a honeyed moon. It elevates joy. It invites inspiration. It embodies interpretation that evolves from truth. It is maturing transcendence of primordial language that nourishes every cell, every nucleus, every fiber of being alive in DNA and every particle of existence.

Bottom Lines:
Bobby McFerrin is beckoning us towards belief that it is “possibilities” that are as the cattle on a thousand hills on a trillion planets. No need to count blessings when you access this level of possibilities. You become the blessing. You become the ptahway to possibilities.
