about me
[ ABOUT SELF ], My mission is...spiritual evolution,catapulting into a higher level of consciousness and a wider spectrum of inner harmony, Activist, Street Soilder, Artist, Lover, Intellectual, B-Boy, Human., _________________________________________________
[ POETRY ], Elevation - Above the lake in the valley and the grove along the hillside, high over the sea and the passing clouds, and even past the sun! To the farthest confines of the starry vault mount, my spirit, wander at your ease and range exultant through transparent space like a rugged swimmer reveling inthe waves with an unutterable male delight. Ascend beyond the sickly atmosphere to a higher plane, and purify yourself by drinking as if it were ambrosia the fire that fills and fuels Emptiness. Free from the futile striving and the cares which dim existence to a realm of mist, happy is he who wings an upward way on mighty pinions to the fields of light; whose thoughts like larks spontaneously rise into the morning sky; whose flight, unchecked, outreaches life and readily comprehends the language of flowers and of all mute things.,
_________________________________________________
[ IDEALOGY ], "It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others." "We have the need to be accepted and to be loved by others, but we cannot accept and love ourselves. The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don't accept others the way they are.", _________________________________________________
[ INSIGHT ], There is that part of ourselves that feels ugly, deformed, unacceptable. That part, above all, we must learn to cherish, embrace, and call by name. Each of us has characteristics we define as ‘good’ and those we define as ‘bad.’ The parts of ourselves that we continually reject want to be acknowledged and loved. Until we honour these aspects, they will continue to assert themselves. They will do whatever they can to get our attention. What aspects of yourself do you reject? Take a few moments to open to the parts of yourself that you do not love. See each one honestly for what it is. Explore the wounds and the motives that gave rise to its condition. Love a wounded part of yourself and it will heal.,
Have you ever wondered why diamonds are so valuable? After all, aside from some specialized industrial applications, diamonds are not all that useful. Their value comes primarily from the fact that they require so much effort to mine. If diamonds were as common as gravel, they they would be virtually worthless.,
The value of anything is based directly on the effort needed to obtain it. Life itself is no different. Having the good things in life instantly, even if it were possible, would be an empty pursuit. Such a life would have no value.,
The reward is in the journey, not the destination. Life is about being and growing, not about getting. Be thankful for the challenges. They are what give life its meaning.,

How to Stop Record Stores from Closing
Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported that Universal Music, Warner Bros Music, EMI and Sony BMG, all suspended CD shipments to the Tower Records retail chain for non-payment.

Tower of Trouble for Traditional Music Stores
This is Celia Hirschman with On the Beat for KCRW.
Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported that Universal Music, Warner Bros Music, EMI and Sony BMG, all suspended CD shipments to the Tower Records retail chain for non-payment. Tower is an 87-store chain based in Sacramento. It's not the first time the beloved retailer was put on a purchasing hold. Financial problems have plagued the institution for years.
Last week, all the major players on the sales side of the music business got together for their annual meeting in Las Vegas. You better believe the Tower Records situation was on everyone's lips.
Some insiders think that Tower might be withholding repayments to the labels to try and negotiate a better deal. I imagine the motivation is far more necessary than strategic.
The fact is, the current business model for traditional record stores doesn't work anymore. According to the New York Times, in the last 3 years, over 900 record stores have closed in the United States, leaving only about 2700 stores intact. The reason is, the business has changed, but the model for selling music at traditional retail stores hasn't.
Major label distributors charge a wholesale price to retailers, who buy the goods with incentive discounts and lenient repayment terms, to particularly encourage stores to stock heavily on unknown artists. This means that retailers often pay for goods before they sell them. The credit driven economics of the business has worked well in the past during a thriving music market. But when the music market is highly leveraged by low-cost digital competition, and new artists rarely break through to mass media, the economics break down quickly.
In contrast, digital music sales requires no up-front buying commitment and have unlimited inventory potential. Record labels are paid on the basis of what is sold, after it is sold, and not before.
This digital model, which is a form of consignment sales, is what traditional retailers should be demanding for themselves from the labels.
In the traditional retail environment, consignment sales would mean that retailers would take whatever inventory they wanted, and when they sold the goods, they'd pay the label.
Why should traditional retail have to compete with a digital universe that is offered better terms, lower risk and no physical space limitations? Why should traditional retail finance a record labels' production and marketing expenses in advance, without sharing any of the benefits.
Change the system of how the money changes hands, and record stores will stop going out of business.
If major record labels want to slow the trend of retailers closing, they are going to have to offer something of significant value to keep traditional retailers in business. The best thing they can offer is to level the playing field for all retailers. It's only fair, and it's really about time.

Expressing appreciation and gratitude are two important ways of sending off the right vibration into the Universe.
What you send out always comes back tenfold. The world will reflect to you a mirror image of your predominant thoughts and emotions.
Emotions of love will always reflect a safe and prosperous world, whilst emotions of anger and fear will reflect back a world of hate, malice and lack.
