SUN 8/11 8:49 am
so in novel i have jubilation raising the sun
every morning and i have spent much of
the summer on the porch potting bonsai
and watching over cat thinks she can still
whup the neighborhoods toms so sometime
i take my mbira and try to play w/the music
of the world / cosmos and so this morning i was out
there when i thought about this bollywood movie
i saw recently,, dude wanted to play devotional
music so im thinking devotional and i start
going 'good morning lord' and im doing it as
a musical chant and i feel the wind on my
Forehead and i say morning lord, a jogger
joigs by and i murmur morning lord, the cat
across the street stepping gingerly thru the
grass, morning lord, clouds in the sky, a
passing car, morning lord and i start puttng
lyrics to it and what im striving for is this
sense of oneness w/the universe, w/the
divinity - if i greet everything w/morning lord
then everything is god
including me
a deeply moving experience
ima do it every morning
commune w/divinity
all my love

hello world, the notes from last research text
i couldnt help myself,, god in all worlds, 800 pgs
spent abpuit a week pon it, refine and work raw
notes into text, last read thru and i will give to
wojo and revise no more
a week woodshed investment, 800 pgs and
i got about a page worth of raw beats but thats
noot really the value, it engaged many beats
that i found numinous and illuminating which
puts me in the numinous state of mind i want
to inform the final draft of this text
the process of doing thiis work has
transformed me in many ways, it has
moved me closer to the illuminated
soull i aspire to be
this is the cover, ima ask wojo to have
the babajohn facing out instead of in
the family reunion was wonderful
but i am so behind on novel work
gave my woodshed to the holybook
that means i got to maiintain my grind
over the semester, this push gave me
a lot, i want jubilations daily life to
reflect what i say in the text
to show folk how to live their
lives in the hoodoo way

RAW NOTES
basically principles like do unto others, karma and the law of return reflect a natural law that
whatever you into you become, if you thinking ‘hurt’ somebody, the soul crippled is your own
life experiences must be properly mined or they are wasted, its not the number
of your life experiences that count but the quality of them which is a function of
how well you see, what significance you extract, whatplane you functioning on
LEGACY
when multatresse solitude was captured after a rebellion on guadelope she was
pregnant and the law was that a pregnant woman could not be executed, she
petitioned to deliver her own replacement in the struggle, and was hung the
day after, mulatresse solitude lives on in my words, your works,
queen nzinga declared her territory free and any slave who made it there was free
what point b eiing descendants of slaves is not a dedication to freedom
TRANSCENDENCE
‘as we grow older and decline physically our spiritual expands
We let go of what we have invested in life and accept our mortality
and consider our legacy, our immortality, our coontriibution to the
greater whole, the great mojo
HEALING
your job, young spiritdoctor, is to find the clients
wounds that will not heal - and heal them
ONEWORLD
Researching the stories for this text I initially restrained myself to rewriting African
And African diasporic works then I thought once upon a time I would have been restricted to my
Own culture, to what I know, but now there is a global culture that is also mine and I can use
Stories from all the cultures of the world and found I believe, most empathy with the sufi wisdom tales, go figure,
THE BABAJOHN
The babajohn is there for you when you need strength
when you need grace, a crossroads, a connection to the
great mojo, someone to shoulder your burdens and ease
your way, zora neals burden bearer, ras hui I’s comforter
GRACE
anybody no matter their worth, is capable of achieving grace,
it is the nature of grace that it is available most to those in need
We achieve grace when we are capable of grasping
The totality of the great mojo and our part in it
‘when we are embedded in the sacred whole’
The gods told me to sing for you and play my instrument
to praise divinity w/all the power at my command,
GODWORK
‘the god you worship is the one you are capable of becoming’
TRIBULATION
everymorning we wake up under fire, incoming
CROSSROADS
the crossroad is anywhere decisions are life changing
Destiny binds, legba unbinds
Life without chance would be barren
To build the new you must sometime 1st break the old
FA
Everybody is gifted w/fa but most squander it
You can change the shape your destiny by shaping yourself
TRANSGRESSION
it is a survival trait that cause humans to cooperate with each other and sanction those that dont, social taboos are inoculations against disease and disorder, problem is free will and agency means that sometimes humanity is not at its best, sowing death doom and destruction in its wake - its like a trade off
SCIENCE
sciences believes that every event must have a preceding causal event according to natural law as we currently perceive it, science should and must be driven by a desire to enhance the human condition and a relentless obsession with the truth of things in spite of its legendary elusiveness,
MAGIC
magical word packets can be prescriptive wish magic, saying it is so makes it so (so let it be) and/or performative, actually affecting current reality (this I vow,)
Oral incantation effects autosuggestion
RITUAL
ritual connects the material world with the spiritual, the visible with the invisible
