((( ON SELF-HEALING )))

There are certain things one MUST BELIEVE 

if one is to be successful in life.

You MUST BELIEVE that life is worth living

Without this blind faith belief you simply cannot function

You MUST BELIEVE that if you persevere at some endeavor

YOU WILL GET BETTER AT IT!!!

Face reality: If you can't even envision yourself playing a musical instrument

and doing a great job of it...

DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO!!!

So, if you can envision yourself getting good at playing a musical instrument

then go for it for, chances are, you will indeed become very good

WITH PROPER PRACTICE!

REMEMBER: Practice does not make perfect

PERFECT PRACTICE makes perfect

I can envision myself getting much better at self-healing

However, just like playing a musical instrument,

I must do all I can to PERFECT PRACTICE the art

I must do research into various types of energy healings

and do all I can to combine the best of them all

into a functioning art that works for me

Don't be discouraged by your failures

They are the stepping stones to your success

Success, in any venture, is not so much for the most talented

as it is for...

THOSE WHO REFUSE TO GIVE UP!!

((( AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH )))

*This is the song that ended the hit blockbuster movie

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

I don't know about you, but the concept of advanced alien beings

really grooving and loving American Baby Boomer music

makes me very happy!

AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH

(Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terrell)

Listen, baby

Ain't no mountain high

Ain't no vally low

Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me

No matter where you are

No matter how far

Just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,

There ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day

I set you free

I told you

You could always count on me

From that day on I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me

Some way,some how

'Cause baby,

There ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you

No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby, na na baby
'Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha

My love is alive

Way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double

As fast as I can

Don't you know that

There ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you

Don't you know that

There ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

((( WHITE ROOM )))

WHITE ROOM BACKING TRACK 2 STEPS DOWN

In the White Room sky blue curtains on an island,

Big decisions they are making for our future,

I walked into such a big room to my seating,

Friends I found there who I trusted now forever

I wait in this place where the sun soon will shine

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

There is no need sell your soul to those who meet there,
All that matters is you work towards better worldview,
A collective Illumed master manifestors,
Pool their virtues towards a better new tomorrow

I wait in this place where the sun soon will shine
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

*My Created Lyrics

WHITE ROOM ORIGINAL VERSION


NOTE:





This backing track is a fusion of an excellent
Karaoke version of the song along with a backing track
break I found on YouTube

I doubt you will find another version
quite like this one

Changing the pitch for my voice,
balancing volumes and equilization
of the two different parts
and seamlessly fusing them together
is a testament of my expertise in,
Sony Soundforge Pro 10

The collage photos of myself, my guitars,
Eric Clapton and the Classic Rock group Cream
was done in Windows Live Movie Maker.
I also used Adobe Premiere Elements 11
for final editing and adding the music

This version is especially for guitarists
who want a version with extra room
for lead guitar breaks!

I dedicate the new lyrics to
The Illuminatiam faction of the Illuminati
May their virtuous light always shine brighter
May they accomplish greater things
than they ever dreamed were possible!

I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees

Ain't no doubt about it baby it's you I aim to please

I'd wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear

It's my life baby but I don't care

Ain't that tuff enuff (X4)

For you baby I would swim the sea

Nothing I'd do for you that's too tuff for me

I'd put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt

And not even worry about getting hurt

Ain't that tuff enuff (X4)

I'd work twenty four hours seven days a week

Just so I come home and kiss your cheek

I love you in the morning and I love you at noon

I love you in the night and take you to the moon

Ain't that tuff enuff (X4)

I'd lay in a pile of burning money that I've earned

And not even worry about getting burned

I'd climb the empire state to fight Muhammad Ali

Just to have you baby close to me

Ain't that tuff enuff (X4)

((( CHINESE YEAR OF THE GOAT/SHEEP 2015 )))

Apparently it's Chinese year of the goat/sheep. 

So what do you get when you cross a goat with a sheep? 

A sheep that kicks the hell out of you when you try to shear it.

I saw that there is a Chinese year of the rat. 

What the hell were they thinking? 

Might as well have a Chinese year of the roach if you're going to celebrate rats, right? 

I mean, considering all the cockroaches in the world it seems only fitting 

that the Chinese should give them their own year, every once in a while. 

After all, where you have rats you usually have roaches.

CHINESE YEAR OF THE ROACH

'Hey, roaches are people too!'

I am suddenly reminded of a story I read about the making of the Bruce Lee movie Enter the Dragon. It goes something like this:

When the American actor John Saxon signed on to be in the movie Enter the Dragon he was led to believe he would be the star of the movie. However, when he got to Hong Kong, with his wife, he was dismayed to find that the real star of the movie was some guy he had never heard of named: Bruce Lee.

Well, the head honcho Chinese producers were doing all they could to pacify John Saxon, and his wife. They had a bottle of their finest wine opened and offered John, and his wife, glasses of the wine. When John's wife lifted the wine to her lips she saw a cockroach swimming in the liquid and SHE FREAKED OUT screaming, yelling and whatnot!!! Yes, the Chinese should indeed have a year of the roach. They deserve to!

I don't know about the Chinese, in general. I admire their Martial Arts, but as for them as a people.... I prefer the Japanese. As least with the Japanese I don't feel they might start World War III.

A note about the movie Enter the Dragon: Supposedly, Bruce Lee was TERRIFIED of acting along side the American actors in the movie. Compared to other Chinese actors Bruce Lee was more than adequate. However, compared to John Saxon...well...Bruce Lee was so nervous that he didn't show up for the initial filming of the movie. It took a hell of a lot, on the part of the production crew, to FINALLY get Bruce to show up and start filming Enter the Dragon. Offhand, I don't think there are many scenes where Bruce Lee and John Saxon were acting side-by-side.

I guess even the invincible Bruce Lee had his fears, eh?

((( FUTURE LOVE PARADISE )))

But if only you could see them

You would know from their faces

There were kings and queens

Followed by princes and princesses

There were future power people

Throwin' love to the loveless

Shining a light 'cause they wanted it seen

Well, there were cries of why

Followed by cries of why not

Can I reach out for you

If that feels good to me?

And the riders will not stop us

'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise

No, the riders will not stop us

'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise

Mmm, don't you know that racism

In among future kings can only lead to no good?

And besides your sons and daughters

Already know how that feels

One day all the queens will gather 'round

Spreading love and unity so we can be found

Well, then all the writers say it's all to do with

Drugs for the gentlemen

When your love

Inject me with a love, all right

And the riders will not stop us

'Cause the only drug they'll find is paradise

No, the riders will not stop us

'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise

No, the riders will not stop us

The only love they'll find is paradise

Love paradise

One in and out is gonna make you feel good

Coming at you like a hurricane would

Stay close to me I'll always be by your side

Save it, baby, you know that it's all right

You remind me of a girl I knew

Born so beautiful once aside her

You make me feel like I need your love, love, love

Want to fill me with your love

Fix me with a love, all right

And the riders will not stop us

'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise

No the riders will not stop us

'Cause the only drug they'll find is paradise

The riders will not stop us

'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise

Paradise

If you change your mind, I'll do anything

Just to make the world peaceful

Just to make life wonderful

I will drown all your sorrows

In a future love paradise

Future love paradise

Future love paradise

((( CRAZY )))

In a church, by the face

He talks about the people goin' under

Only child know

A man decides after seventy years

That what he goes there for is to unlock the door

While those around him criticize and sleep

And through a fractal on a breaking wall

I see you my friend and touch your face again

Miracles will happen as we trip

But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy

No, we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy

Yellow people walkin' through my head

One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one

And yet together they were friends at school

(I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it, I don't get it . . . no, no)

If I were there when we first took the pill

Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe

Miracles will happen as we speak

But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy

No, we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy

No no, never survive, unless we get a little bit

Amanda decides to go along after seventeen years

Oh darlin', in a sky full of people, only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?

In a world full of people, only some want to fly, isn't that crazy, crazy?

In a Heaven of people there's only some want to fly, ain't that crazy?

Oh babe, in a world full of people

There's only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?

Ohh, but we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy,crazy

No, we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy

But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy

No, we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy

No, no, never survive unless, we get a little bit

And then you see things the size

Of which you've never known before

They'll break it someday

Only child will know

Oh you know I love my folks

But I keep starin' down the road

Just lookin' for my one chance to run

I will blow in the wind like a seed

I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams

And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know, that you were born
