Did
anyone watch OWN last night? I watched two amazing shows, Next Chapter
with African American Women in Hollywood and Dark Girls. It was hard
seeing our “secrets” displayed for the world to see. For example, the
paper bag test. We know what that is, but many other races didn’t. As a
dark skin women, I learned at 4 years old, people would not like me
because I was black but some of my people won’t like me because I was
darker than a paper bag. At that point, I had to learn how to love
myself despite what others may say. I had to be faster or smarter than
the next person because they expect for me not to be. I had to turn the
other cheek and smile to discrimination, not to be perceived as the
“angry black woman” and I had to be ok with my black men, treating me
like I wasn’t good enough to be “loyal” to my race. What is all comes
down to is self love. Not excepting disrespect and handing uncomfortable
moments with grace and strength. I hope some people learned from
watching these shows so the next generation of black kids don’t have the
same experiences some of have… Thoughts?

Wholeness and the Implicate Order
David Bohm was one of the foremost scientific thinkers and philosophers
of our time. Although deeply influenced by Einstein, he was also, more
unusually for a scientist, inspired by mysticism. Indeed, in the 1970s
and 1980s he made contact with both J. Krishnamurti and the Dalai Lama
whose teachings helped shape his work. In both science and philosophy,
Bohm's main concern was with understanding the nature of reality in
general and of consciousness in particular. In this classic work he
develops a theory of quantum physics which treats the totality of
existence as an unbroken whole. Writing clearly and without technical
jargon, he makes complex ideas accessible to anyone interested in the
nature of reality.
Living the Science of Mind
The Only Writings by the Founder of SCIENCE OF MIND to Help You Understand His Classic Textbook
This
is Holmes' own "commentary" on his masterpiece, The Science of Mind. As
such, it may be his most important book besides the textbook. These
short pieces abound in counsel and guidance in metaphysics,
spirituality, and healing. Here too is the history of New Thought and
Religious Science; insights into the mystics; pointers on treatment; and
analysis of our fears and insecurities.
Founder of the worldwide
Religious Science movement, formulator of the Science of Mind
philosophy, and author of metaphysical bestsellers, Dr. Holmes
continually sought to simplify his teaching and get people to "use" it.
In these pages he speaks directly to you in a one-on-one tutorial.
Power vs. Force
Imagine—what if you had access to a simple
yes-or-no answer to any question you wished to ask? A demonstrably true
answer. Any question . . . think about it.
— from the Foreword
Man
thinks he lives by virtue of the forces he can control, but in fact,
he’s governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which he has
no control.
— from the Introduction
“ . . . particularly timely . . . a significant contribution to understanding and dealing with the problems we face today.”
— Lee Iacocca
“I especially appreciate [the] research and presentation on the attractor patterns of business . . .”
— Sam Walton
“[A]
beautiful gift of writing . . . [You] spread joy, love, and compassion
through what you write. The fruit of these three is peace, as you know .

Alex Jacke was born and raised in
the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The singer and songwriter
realized his passion for music as a child when he fell in love with 90's
R&B and Hip Hop. Jacke’s music influences also include soul, funk, gospel,
rock, and pop music. Self taught on the piano, he began composing songs by
middle school. By the time he started his freshman year at Morehouse College,
he knew music was his future and he focused his energy on songwriting, &
performing at school events and venues around Atlanta. During his sophomore
year, he appeared on the highly popular MTV series "My Super Sweet 16, as
the special guest performer for DJ Spinderella and former NBA player, Kenny
Anderson's daughter, Christy. His performance caught the attention of music
executive and producer, Laney Stewart, who invited Jacke to work with him over
the summer. Jacke jumped at the opportunity to pursue his dream, and left Morehouse
Collegeat the end of his junior year to
return to Los Angeles.
Like others before him, most notably Tricky Stewart and The-Dream. Laney
Stewart took Alex Jacke under his wing which led Jacke to land a worldwide
publishing deal with Music Gallery/Universal Music Publishing Group in 2011.
Along with Stewart and his production team The Sharpshootaz, Alex Jacke spent
most of the first half of 2012 perfecting his debut EP, D.F.M. (Dorm Fuckin

This week I called my cable provider after hearing about Zane’s new TV show, The Jump off. I upgraded my service to get Cinamax and it was well worth it. I was a fan of Zane’s tv series Sex Chronicles so when I heard about Jump off, I jumped on it. On March 29, 2013 Cinamax premiered the show about the lives of five successful African American men from all sorts of backgrounds as it tells the stories of their everyday lives. Zane's latest series follows five 30-something frat brothers and their women as they grapple with issues like commitment, fidelity and forgiveness. The gorgeous cast includes
• Amin Joseph as Dmitri Vance
• Sean Riggs as Earnest Bishop
• J. Teddy Garces as Spencer Martinez
• Damian Raven as Gabriel Turner
• Kinyumba Mutakabbir as Fenwick "Woody" Wood
After seeing a few episodes I’m sold. What do you think?
The first time I heard “All Gold Everything” By Trinidad James, the DJ pumped the song up so much that I didn’t like based on this High expectation. The more I listened to it, the more I liked it. Now, I agree with the DJ, it’s a banger!
Though out history, celebrity men have been known to be womanizers. There are these unwritten rules that people are supposed to follow, to directly benefit “dogs”. God forbid you break one of these rules, because if you do, you become the new outcast. Karrine Steffans aka Superhead is legendary in the hip hop community for you know, a great fellatio martini. She has been seen topless in the Shake it Fast, Mystikal video and playing Honey in a Mr. Marcus video. It is so easy to judge Karrine from stories you hear, but she’s not doing anything different then many “unknowns”. I am not telling girls and women to follow her lead, but I am saying she fits the mold of many other females. These celebrity men, many married, slept with Karrine and expected her to remain quiet, to follow this “code”. Breaking the code, leads to bullying at its worst. Most women cannot handle the raft of this level of bullying.
I say all of this to say, I recently watched “Kiss and Tail: Hollywood Jump Off” directed by Thomas Gibson. It is a documentary about Karrine and video girls. What makes some scenes so pathetic, is watching men like Norwood and Darius McCrary aka Eddie Winslow crying about how she “played them”. They are angry because they tried to play her and she won. All these men were using her body and she was using them. I am not condoning her behavior, but you have to respect someone who beat these men at their own game.
