Im back from Memphis. I had so much fun, Matisyahu MADE MY LIFE! Memphis was..awesome. The stores they had on Beale St were just, amazing. All of the Voudoo and Canjun influence made me wonder how the influence got there? Then I thought about the ferry boat craze and how Memphis was right on the Mississippi, the great Nile of the Americas.

Even more amazing of an experience were the Pinson Mounds.  I felt so small there and I came to realize my existence on this earth is largely insignificant when standing on land that you, without a doubt, know and understand was a whole city of people two thousand years ago. I tried to imagine them in my mind and I prayed to the Gods of that land that day.
Ive never been in an area where I knew I was standing amongst some giant spiritual entity that has been formed through the centuries by all of the great spirits who perished before me at the hands of change. I felt it for the first time today. It felt like energy. A small vibrational tone that hummed all around the area and with the wind it got louder. You could just feel them..all around you. It was as if I looked hard enough, I could see them, and if I reached out I would touch them.
I laid down at the top of the main 100ft tall ceremonial high priests mound and I had this sensation that at any minute someone who wasnt physically there with me would tickle my feet. Thats how real it was.

Most Americans are so ignorant about the original people of this land we now inhabit. Most Americans believe that they were a small, simple minded incomplex people.
They were not. They were a highly civilized, self governing, complex, spiritual people. Something we lack today. I understood it when I stood on top of that mound and looked around at the 1,100 acres below me. I tried to imagine looking down on my people, taking care of their daily activities, going home, walking to the edge of the river, praying, taking care of their children, and just living. It was very easy to imagine as I was standing there.
Hard for you to, im sure.
The central mount I stood on was the home of the high priest of that town. The mounds were located in precise geographical locations. From the top of that mound you could look out and see the sun rise directly over another mound that was used to bury the honored. Maybe it was those honored that I felt up there that day. The four corners of the mound stretched out to the 4 vast cardinal directions. The High Priest could see everything from the East Citadel one mile away, to the 500 acre underground geometrical ceremonial complex that modern archaeologists still dont know anything about. See, thats what kills me about today.
Today our technology has taken the place of their spirituality. Today we dont know our Earth Mother and we do not respect her. Today instead of honoring the Earth and drinking her clean water we build a radioactive chemical waste plant by the edges of her rivers. Then we have the nerve to ask God why are children are born with 6 fingers and an eyeball on their cheek or whatever other physical and metal defects have been born from foreign substances being introduced to nature.
Ever wonder why your daughter has ADHD and you say..wow..I wonder what they did about ADHD back in the good ol days. Or wonder why you are bipolar and wonder what they did about bi polar disorder before proxac. Well, they probably didnt have it. Just like they didnt have nuclear chemical particles floating around in our air and entering our bodies through our nasal capacities and sitting in our lungs waiting to seep into our bloodstreams and brains to infect us with whatever modern trash has gotten us into this sick situation where our society is filled with mental disease and  physical diseases that were unheard of before our own people began to poison US, the common man, for THEIR, the rich mans, benefit.
We do not live in communities who care about one another. Our leaders do not look upon us with pride, they dont care what happens to us. They do nothing to spiritually empower us and leave us to fend for ourselves in a nation that eats the weak.
We dont have support from our neighbors, hell, most of us are left with no real friends either.  We call ourselves civilized but, are we, really? Do we really have any clue about our nature, our origins. Do we even care to know? Do we even respect the idea? Probably not.

I know that life is a process. Things change as time changes and the one thing in life we cannot change is change itself. However, my mind is plagued with the thought of our current situation and how it came to be. I wonder if we will ever become aware.

Do you think so?
