Mon, February 13, 2006 - 12:45 PMIt's the energy … peoples energy. Our energy. Your energy. My energy. Energy, that's the bottom line. That's what it all boils down to. We are all just energy. We are comprised of a near-infinate number of vibrating sub-atomic particles. Everything is always vibrating. Remember back to your 7th grade "earth science" class how even the coldest rock on earth has vibrating molecules in it? How everything is vibrating, always? Another scientific thing that, to me, proves the multi-dimesional nature of the universe is how light is both a particle and a wave at the same time. That's like (it is!) existing in two diminsions at the same time. And of course there's sound, my favorite sense, being as I'm a musician and music lover and all. And probably the best way to illustrate my whole energy concept, well I can't claim it, but you know, I just want to get more people thinking about it and how it relates to the world around them. So anyway, yeah, sound … The cool thing about sound is the precise mathematics of it. It is divinity manifested. For those of you who don't know anything about music and the mechanics of sound, There are only 12 notes. All the notes that we can hear, and the ones that we can't are just those 12 notes repeating themselves but in different pitches called octaves. Classical greeks like Pathagoras did estensive research and pontivicating on this. Here's the cool part that I feel helps
illustrate how the universe is one and interconnected, and we're all just vibrating energy and all that. sound waves a measured in hertz abreviated (hz), or cycles per second. So now for the cool math. The second string down on a guitar in the A string it is supposed to be tuned to 440 hz. That means that the string is vibrating 440 times per second and a 440hz sine (the one with the perfectly rounded humps and dips, haha, baby, you look like a SINE WAVE!! haha) wave form would have 440 peaks and 440 valley per second. Now here's the cool part. The next A (remember, about the 12 notes repeating themselves over and over?) which is an octave higher, occurrs at 880 hz! It all makes sense! It's all just vibration, man! We are all, the whole universe is, just interconnecting vibrating sub atomic particles. Vibration is a form of energy, so an energy wave is emmitted at the frequency of which each individual thing is vibrating! Don't ya see?!! Different things resonate at common frequencies. The musical scale continues like that, so the next A would be 1760 hz, and then double that then double that! You know, the ol' logrhythmic scale.
Entwined are we, but too blind to see, the rhythms of the universe are beating within me.
We must always remember to be devine, to walk devine, speak devine, have integrity in our word. Imagine your energy is like the bow of a boat cutting through the water that is the energy all around us, negative energy as well as positive energy. If a wave of negative energy runs into your bow, it will bounce right off as you keep sailing along. If a little negative energy splashes up onto your deck, imagine it just rolling right off back into the ocean.
We must talk to each other. We must discuss the nature of things. We must discuss, calmly, warmly and openly with our friends and family those things, those topics, those subject that we feel uncomfortable discussing. It's the only way we can move forward. It's going to take enough people talking to enough people. We as beings are drawn to … I must … We must talk to each other. We must discuss the nature of things.

Why is it that
It's ok to get emotional. We need to be honest with ourselves about how things make us feel. We have to get in touch with and release those emotions.
I have to be stronger than them, than the toxic energies swimming around me. I have to let my own positive energy permeate and expand through those around me.

My adventures in the "real world". Sit back while I tell you a tale. A tale about a young man turning into a "not so young" man. A tale of drama, intrigue, oppression, repression, hostility, passive aggressiveness, hostility, oops, did I say that already? Uh, like repression and stuff, yeah. My name is Matt. I work at a pro audio retail shop. No, pro audio is not car or home audio, it is used by professionals such as musicians, engineers, schools, churches, ect. Recording equipment, P.A. systems, ect. So anyway, once upon a time I was 17, in high school, and had this great idea to be "sound engineer!" oooh, sound's so glamorous, doesn't it?! I thought it was a stroke of genius at the time. "Wow, I can be a ligitamate technician, with steady work and produce great works of metal like my idol-engineer at the time Scott Burns. So here I am fifteen years later, producing no metal, making no recorded music. "Trapped" in a dead-end retail job with people who are still gonna be here twenty years from now, who are bitter and cynical, and who's presence I find toxic at times, and maddeningly amusing (not necessarily in a healthy way) at others. I think when I first starting working here 10 years ago, I thought it would be cool to sell audio equipment, learn the business, work my way up, and on the side try to do my own recording. Then my wife (fiance at the time) dumped ovaltine on my keyboard because I wouldn't buy her a $50 bag at
I spoke earlier about the competitive, anamalistic insticts that we have as members of the animal kingdom and as the product of 2.5 million years of evolution (which has been proven). The unfortunate irony is that in this day in age, instead of continuing that evolution, there are forces in the conservative christian right that is trying to go backwards and hold us down, keep us from evolving. But it's not just christians. It's been my experience that those older and with more power than I are constantly, needlessly creating power struggles between themselves and those "beneath them" in the pecking order. It seems older people with power try with every last breath to fight off percieved usurpers to their power. It's a paranoid, anamalistic instinct. And the result is a slowing down of evolution, because they are resistant to change. They fear change, they oppose it. They feal threatened by it. They perceive it as a personal attack on them and their personal power. If we can approach these people with love and compassion and make them understand that we are not after there power, or not trying to destory them. If we can point out these anamalistic traits that we all have and explain to them that we are trying to evlolve beyond that, perhaps that is a good place to start.
I was thinking earlier about the life I've had, about my personal traits. About my path, about my dark sides. I remember those thoughts I used to think. Why is it so hard for me to stop thinking like that. About my perpetual laziness. About my love of good beer. It's time to do something, but what? Where to start? I am supposed to be here right now. I can feel it. I just have to open up and release my inner gifts to those around me. That's the first, toughest part. The important thing is to not lose site of the big picture. Don't get overwhelmed by all the little things that you have to do. Just try and finish one thing at a time, and also stop to give yourself a break and stop to enjoy the moment every now and then. The trick is to get yourself back on task. Fear and contraction. We can't live in fear and contraction. Openness and expansion. That is the key to living in peace and happiness. But what happens when the two collide. If openess and expansion is envisioning saying things to your boss that might get you fired. We must actualize that the tide is and has to be turning in our
The intention for people to stay in denial is so strong
Fear and contraction. We can't live in fear and contraction. Openness and expansion. That is the key to living in peace and happiness. But what happens when the two collide. If openess and expansion is envisioning saying things to your boss that might get you fired. We must actualize that the tide is and has to be turning in our favor. We need to remember this every day as we encounter contradicting energies on our daly path.

Matt Mann on Metal part 1
As I was watching vh1 Classic's Metal Mania this morning I thought I should start writing down my thoughts on metal. I also have often had visions of me being interviewed on television. I've been on Letterman many times in my head, ... In these visions I am often talking about metal! So here goes, Matt Mann on Metal part one ...
In the beginning ...
In the beginning, (for me) ... I was a young lad around the turn of the 70's into the 80's and I loved music from a very early age. In the beginning like many, I had to start with my parents record collection. There wasn't much to work with there. My favorite albums from their collection were Neil Diamond and Crystal Gayle. (Hey! Don't diss Neil Diamond!) A couple of my favorite songs in the following year or two were Tom Petty's "Don't Do Me Like That" and "Another One Bites the Dust. I't wasn't until I was nine in 1983 that I told my dad to buy me my first record, Jouney's Frontiers. I think becuase I say the video for Separate Ways on TV. Separate Ways is about as metal as Journey got. Great song to this day! (Hey! Don't diss Journey!) That same next year I had my dad buy me my first metal record for my 10th birthday. (drumroll) Quiet Riot's Metal Health!! YEEAAAAAARRRR ... BANG YOUR HEAD! HAHA. While Quiet Riot didn't quite have the staying power as some of their metal contemporaries we do have to credit them for ushering into the mainstream LA Hair Metal. (Ah ... Hollywood!) LA, Hollywood, the palm trees, the beach, the hair, the denim, the leather ... good times, good times. Even if we could only be there in spirit! For it was after their chart-topping number one single Cum On Feel the Noiz that all the major labels scrambled to sign every LA big hair havin' power ballad singin' metal band. If Metal Health was my first metal record, my second may well have been Shout At the Devil by Motley Crue. Actually it was a cassette. They took it to the next level of darkness and Hollywood glamour with that one as they set off on their path to continue to set trends in Hollywood Hair Metal that the rest of the pack would contiue to follow for almost 10 years to come. I also had a Judas Priest cassette, Screaming for Vengence, but I couldn't get into it at the time. You could say they really hadn't "come out" for me yet! Haha. Although now that they're one of my favorite bands, I wonder if I had bought Defenders of the Faith, like I wanted and on vinyl, like I wanted, instead of listening to a friend, I wonder if I would have liked it then. Believe it or not, all of my early records and cassettes came from KMart! See, in 1983 our KMart in Grass Valley was brand spankin' new. I remember being there on opening day and it was so packed, it was like everyone from the whole town was there! Also we did not yet have a dedicated record shop. So yeah, I remember seeing that Defenders of the faith album on the shelves in KMart and I wanted it. Another record that I got there to check out some other bands was a compelation called Masters of Metal, but it had a bunch of old school bands like Zebra and Rainbow, not my cup of tea. I also decided that I did not like Iron Maiden at the time after hearing Run to the Hills on that compelation. It wasn't until Somewhere in Time, and Wasted Years, and then Live After Death that I became a Maiden fan. By the way, Live After Death is the best live album there ever was, and ever will be ... period. end of story! It was around this time that that same friend who told me to buy Screaming for vengence on cassette, told me about a band called Metallica. He said he had heard that they were good. Well that was good enough for me! But I wasn't gonna take a chance on 'em so I bought it for my other friend's b-day so if it sucked he's be stuck w/ it! Ride the Lightning on cassette from Sam Goody @ Sunrise mall in Sacto, CA At the time Ratt was our new favorite band with their "compelling" (lol) album Invasion of Your Privacy, so to go from that to Ride the Lighning ... well at first of course we couldn't get into it, and we thought that the riff from the song Ride the lightning was a rip off of the riff for the song Shout at the Devil! Haha, well they do use the same notes/chords, E, G and A. ... Anyway about six months later in the spring of '86 we both came to each other and said "that Metallica record kicks ass!" and I proceeded to buy the rest of them, then there was Slayer's Reign in Blood ... the rest is history ... until next time!

Mental??Emotional/Pshychological Pain
Toxic Energy, causing mental pain. I can feel the frustration, I can feel the strain. Oh man, it's like I work with all these old people, right? I mean, I'm 32 and I'll always be the "smartass young punk" around here. I have been exploited and oppressed. It's so hard to move foward when you're tied down by old, withering, bitter bumps on logs. It's kind of like putting 12 surly old Bears in a habitat that is only big enough for 3. ... I gotta get outa here. Time to look at the jobs websites again.

Somthing else you can tell people about the dollar.
More evidence other than the obvious symbolism of the all seeing eye levitating above, having control over, but "disconnected' from us, the slaves that make up that pyramid. How are we slaves, you ask? Have you seen you power, phone, cell phone, cable/dish, internet bills lately??!! How 'bout the nations debt, now in the trillions. Who do you think the interest payments go to? How 'bout those tax dollars, they go directly to the Federal Reserve bank. Anyway, back to the dollar. At the bottom of the pyramid is the roman number 1776, and above and below in latin, are the words, "new world order" and "our enterprise, it is a success". Many will say that this refers to the founding of this nation, but actually it was a high powered meeting that occurred in bavaria where the rothchilds and others signed a document bringing into existence an enterprise that set it's sights on controling the currency of the new world. It took 150 years but finally happened after numerous attempts with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act. in 1913.

the Bush - Bin Ladin connection
For those of you who are new to my, uh, like ya know, like if you don't know about the stuff that I, like say on my thing and stuff ... Anyway, yeah, shades of grey. The world is not black and white. There are endless shades of grey. For example, on the subject of what I call "the Illuminati" and just for slimplification, let's just say that they don't call themselves the Illuminati, and that it's just a handy term we can all use to refer to the wealthy European and North American power Elite. They are the ones who own the banks, and the companies that provide the products and services that we all use and those that are used in war. They are they "old money" families who can trace their royal bloodlines all the way back to Charlemagne and Henry the eighth. But it's not like they all just get along and there is one supreme ruler they all answer to. These fat, wealthy, egomaniancs are too full of themselves to answer to anyone. I like to tell people that they are more like rival gang leaders, but of course their are alliances, friendships and partnerships that develop. Lets take the Bush family for example. They can trace their bloodlines directly back to Charlemagne. They are and have been so close the the corrupt, super-wealthy, Saudi, Bin Ladin Family that they call "W" "Bandar Bush". The official response to the obvious implications is that Osama and the Bin Ladin family severed all ties years ago. This simply is not true! Osama was at a family wedding in recent years. Haha, Bush probably has Osama in a nice little one bedroom dungeon apartment outfitted with all the amenities beneath the white house! But seriously, When you figure out the bottom line to the whole thing which is that wars have always been fought for the profit of these weathy old-money Families, it makes the current events make a lot of sense ...
So now there's this "Bin Ladin tape" where he warnes of more attacks, and "offers a truce" ... The White House response? "We don't negotiate with terrorists" ... And the war continues ... Who profits? Think about it ...

The Irony
So here's the theory, and the history. Anyone who thinks this shit sound crazy is encouraged to research it on their own ... So ... When Adam Wieschspt, or whatever, started the Illuminati in mid 18th century Bavaria, they were masons committed to science, philanthropy, and other unknown interests, and completely opposed to the corruption of the church and the monarchy and thier ties. It is perhaps because of this that in the "secret" ceremonies, inductees into these "higher" levels of freemasonry, scull & bones, ect. Are asked to swear upon ancient hebrew, sumarian, zoroastrian and othe ancient "demon" "gods". These cermonies all have dirct links back to Weischpt's Masonic "Order of the Illuminati". Unbeknownst to him, so the theory goes, the curch itself has been warshipping satan, and unbeknownst to them as well! The story goes back to the rise of the "Jesuit General" or "Black Pope" in the 16th century. Some say that to this day the Pope still serves the "Black Pope" or "Jesuit General" who is the head of a secret society behind the church.. Stranger things are definately true!

If you woulda told me 13 years ago that I'd be quoting the bible ...
Matthew 10:26 (As pertaining to my message of truth regarding the Illuminati and 9/11, and spreading that message of truth)
"Therefore be not afraid of them. Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, nor secret that will not be known. What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light. And what I wisper to you, shout from the rooftops! And to not be afraid of those who can kill your body but not your soul!"
