de geas of rickydoc: tribal or universal: save my people or save everybody

MONDAY 4/1  12:44

so i was thinking over that quandry and thinking probably have to do it like i do my one man act
default universal with a tribal option for the black belt congregations, then i thought, the quandry

itself is what should drive the piece, the struggle for cultural
custodians between tribal and universal imperatives

that will be the driving thread of this work

now what???

 

 

MONDAY 4/1

hello all

working on the latest draft of my novel and i can tell, im done
until im working w/an editor im done, i keep thinking ima address

the issues the industry having and its not changing, its the same novel
and the little cosmetic changes im making wont make a difference

ima give it a week full court press, then im done

its time to move on, got to get to work on the hoodoo book of flowers again
and it appears that the stars are saying that i got to mount this production im

thinking of, based on the geas of rickydoc, beyond that im not sure what it will be
have long thought to move my one man act into a production, like sekou did

got some folk interested in working with me, if i dont move on it its strictly trifling
its time to move on, putting a novel down frees up a lot of energy, this is the 1st

time ive put one down that wasnt sold, this is a new experience for me, it would
make me insecure but im feeling pretty impervious these days, its a good novel

ima let it be, so this is the geas, between you and me, i got to figure out how to multimedia this
primetime, high production values, this is a vision i want to manifest, for the struggle, i dont do this

one except for black belt audiences when im being rickydoc trickmaster, wouldbe prophet of the hoodooway
this is my stand up you mighty race performance

i dont do it often because most of my audiences are multicultural, mostly college students on the college lecture/reading/presentations/performance circuit, and my evolutionary push right now is to leverage my

nationlist vision into a universal one, so i generally come out of a different bag, but its saving the race and
all its
generations that really move me, thats where i really live, final anaylsis ima tribal medicine man trying to help the

tribe confound its enemies, survive the next winter and empower its generations, de geas of rickydoc:

but then if i go thru the hassle of putting a production together, my universalist vision
of enhancing human destiny will travel better, fuck - a quandry - save everybody or save my people

in the past ive always defaulted on universal, its the way to go in this increasingly shrinking world of ours
and its just evooutionally correct, its stronger, but at the sametime i have to save my people, thats what i

was born to be, a champion of the race, a hero an i cant leave them undefended

if i go tribal i will have to take my universal lick to a stronger space to, in the past ive always tried to
work them both together, which is what im going to have to do this time, this has been a standing issue

with me, tribal or universal, save my people or save everybody, basically im going with the chosen people
syndrome to conflate those two agendas, designed to avoid chosen people pathologies, its complicated:

plus that i want a production i can sell to many venues, it can be afrospiritual but its got to be universal enough to be commercial viable - this is getting complicated on me, its just never easy is it:
