Everyone You Didn't Meet Could Be Your Teacher Funkadelic Style

This is sort of a follow up to a post I wrote in August of 2017.  I was born at the very end of the 60's, the Summer of 69 to be exact. A time of transition I'm told from the days of peace and love hippie movement to the Funk of the 70's, LOL. 

This past week I have been re-reading a really great book about Jarvis Jay Masters, A Buddhist on Death Row. A lot more on that great book to come in the near future. If you haven't purchased it yet, I highly recommend it. 

So in this book, one of the many lessons Mr. Masters learns is about learning to watch his mind and freeing it from the preconditioned restraints that life itself had put on him. As he is contemplating this a song that would be played often in his youth came to mind by the Funkadelic's, "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow."

Everyone you didn't meet could be your teacher.

  

Funkadelic's, "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow."

The lyrics to this next song are loosely based on a combination of a book called "As a Man Thinketh", a literary essay by James Allen, published in 1902, and the basis of The Law of Attraction (you reap what you sow) It starts off with a very looooooong instrumental intro, it puts you in touch with yourself. But don't stop there is more, stick around it gets even better.....let it speak to you. You won't regret it.

 

Funkadelic's "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts"

Have you come across anyone or anything in your path that has opened your eyes to help you make sense of a teaching that you have been contemplating? 

Have one or more of those eye-opening moments come from an expected source?

Everything that you have built up, believed and worked towards seems to be false. Your life doesn’t feel as though it’s your own.

2. YOU CRAVING FOR MEANING AND PURPOSE.

You deeply desire to find the meaning of your life. You have no idea what your purpose is, but you want to find it desperately.

3. YOU REALIZE THAT A LOT OF WHAT YOU’VE BEEN TAUGHT IS A LIE.

You start to see how many beliefs, ideals and values are not actually your own, but other people’s or inherited from your culture.

4. YOU FEEL COMPLETELY LOST AND ALONE.

Nothing in your life seems to make sense anymore. You feel as though you’re wandering through  an endless wilderness. As a vagabond, you feel completely alone and cut off from people.

5. YOU SEE THROUGH THE ILLUSIONS OF SOCIETY.

Materialism, success and profit no longer mean anything to you. You start feeling as though you’re a cog in the machine of society.
