    Peace to Sun Ra I'm glad people are finally listening to him, he was way ahead of his time as far as thought goes.

    Sun Ra's poetics of language are profound. His takedown of supremacist hegemony is devastatingly multilayered, esoteric.

    What a fantastic upload! SunRa was a very deep brotha. I've been listening to his music for years but never heard him lecture. This was great! Thanks again.

    The point explored in the first minute and a half was perfectly said. Really resonated with my philosophy on studying my influences

    i read somewhere that Sun Ra had his Arkestra 'policing' the lecture hall/room making sure nobody was surreptitiously taping him.that might be the most wonderful image i've ever had in my head.a gonzo sesame st. police force from Saturn prowling the room clutching their horns all baton-like.They obviously weren't that good at that particular aspect of their arkestrian duties,as is evidenced above,thank goodness .i guess it's not easy looking menacing dressed in be-sequined tutankamen headgear....

    I'm getting Finnegans Wake flashbacks here
    The fall of man (simultaneous with the origination of language itself), the "shut" (the Prankquean fable), the idea of knowledge being spread throughout multiple books in different language all related by etymology & word permutations, light/dark, Shaun/Shem, Biblical gnosis, Hebrew wordplay, karma (seed/fruit in terms of action), death/rebirth, mathematics, spells, gnosis, the idea of each of us being linked back to ancient peoples, in fact the idea that we ARE those same ancient peoples who have fallen asleep to our ancient or angel nature (HCE as both Pharaoh & Everyman), etc etc
    I recall once tripping on acid at a friend's apartment after listening to "Space is the Place" & "Images", which became stuck in my head for the duration of the trip & were a source of power (my very first trip had been a series of Hell/sex visions, this being my second trip, in a much better set/setting); the spiral nature of the 5/8 swung bass swirl in the former & the circle of fifths-type spiral chord progression of the latter seemed evocative of the very nature of existence itself, and the boundaries between myself, my companions, our environment, and the situation of supposedly-modern/"civilized" humanity seemed nominal (words again)... as if, for a time, we were "offstage"...

      @@CrayziePinke it's not tattooed, it's made using a program called deepdream, created by google. basically uses a computer to try imitating what dreams must be like using synthetic neural connections and changes pictures/videos based on that. really neat stuff, but could be the beginning of the end. or the start of something new :)

    "Along with education in schools, I was also educated by the creator of the universe. Which is...uh...not...everybody possibly not supposed to believe that. Makes no difference to me. Nevertheless, I know a lot of people don't know. No man taught me. Neither white man nor black man taught me these things."

      Sun Ra was a the type of Cat who would speak gibberish to college students as he were a Philosopher. Using broad association, quoting from black sociologists, defining the etymology of multisyllabic words, he developed a treatise which he presented as a sort of Universal Wisdom which only he understood. "There are 7 vowels, stand for God's Word, money makes the vowels binding." You can hear the ooooohs and aaaaaahs

    Like a con and a victim. But be careful because they will affect you too.

      Explain yourself, Oscar Dee.

    • @nctunes
      @nctunes 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The con and the victim are both being affected in different ways and its being done to them both by the same method. What ever you think, its not what you think.

    • @DarlingPhenylethylamine
      @DarlingPhenylethylamine 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great explaining. Are you implying that Sun Ra was a con (and a victim) because of the institution he was associated with?

    • @nctunes
      @nctunes 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, but not just Sun Ra. All of us. No explaining necessary. Wishing nothing but good for you.

      would it be more meaningful if you smoked a bunch of drugs and a self transforming machine elf showed you a hologram of everything he was saying as he was saying it? Maybe then you'd learn some "facts",yeah?
