check out the video. Also, there are new discoveries in human consciousness such as memory in DNA revealing the vast possibilities and capabilities we have, and our connection to the universe and everything in it. On that note, learning this I figure to be present and living dynamically in my purpose in everything I do, expressing my Authentic Self with love and balance to all and remembering there is power in knowledge of self. And how do I do this? West African drumming! Greetings everyone of #Gems #Hive #Naturalmedicine and #blockchain community. I am sending love and light to all who reads this blog. It looks like the world is opening back up to business as usual… so in that case, I will start a new way forward by thinking differently about everything. Considering the past events like the "insurrection at the capitol", "police brutality on people of color and any unfortunate transits person" and the "Disclosure Project, alien civilizations are here on earth", and there is serious corruption of governmental organizations and secret institutions as Dr. Steven Greer says in “The Cosmic Hoax” Part 1 “Exo-Fascism” and Part 2 “Exo-Racism” is all about manipulation of your mind with a laser focus on the widespread of psychological warfare and fear –

Here at Gladys Park, Ase Ashe Drummers from the Heart practice a guiding principle which is to “be upright and present in everything that we do, and then connect with people that's doing the same or merely thinking about the same thing this builds a quantum momentum – that’s when there is no stopping us.” Brothers Will Gordon and Bara Mboup are two of the men of several that I know that are doing this. Bara Mboup is our teacher, a seasoned professional West African drummer. He traveled around the world with his music playing with many great artists. This is where my mental health and the process of stopping the bleeding and getting healed starts. By learning the rhythms with practices and understanding the meaning and why we play the rhythms expands one’s awareness of the story that is being told through the heart of the drums which may it be for a celebration, initiation, rites of passage or a wedding. I did not have these types of cultural experiences coming up here in America. I was not taught rites of passage or initiation into manhood and understanding the connection between African Americans and Africans. Since I’ve been divinely aligned to partake in these experiences, I am present with my beloved mighty I am Presence. I am honored and pleased to sit beside and learn from you Bara Mboup. My other teacher Will Gordon is the Dundun player holding down the bottom beats keeping everything together – this brother here has a vast knowledge of rhythms and drumming combined with knowledge of maneuvering through life in a joyful communal way (thanks, Big Will!).

This is another picture of Will on the Dunduns and accompanying him is my other teacher Brother Debaq on Djembe. Brother Debaq is an excellent drummer; his timekeeping is just like a metronome; he is also a seasoned player and very dependable brother to have on the team. I enjoy the deep philosophical conversations I have with Brother Debaq (thank you!).

I remember after the event that day at Gladys Park, Bara says to me, “Today was a good and we put our heart and passion in it. You just have to keep breathing and take your time and follow the rhythm.”

San Julian Park Drum Healing Circle. We gave the San Julian Park family a piece of our Hearts and in return they gave us a piece of theirs. Shout out to! Brother Shuntain Thomas on the Congas big shout out to you for showing up for this event his vision is WARP Sitting right behind Shuntain is Mack Floyd “Bubba” Mack is a guitarist he started playing the drums five years ago seeing me in Omar playing in Skid Row he played with us a couple of times with his guitar, then he put his guitar up and grab a drum and been playing ever since with us. For 10 years, me and Omar (the brother in the blue shirt) have been playing or drums on the streets of Downtown Los Angeles and Skid Row (which is an active thriving community, and it should have its own council for proper funding). We played and sent universal heartfelt rhythms throughout the city. Everyone walking by danced, smiled, and clapped their hands! The public received us with an open heart along with the positive comes the negative, the police and some disgruntled tenants in buildings. Some people in the world have tunnel vision and only see just that one small perspective. All the police needs is for someone to call them on you, and they can go full force with their tactics (especially in this area). That is a story for another time, but for now, on the day of July 8, 2021, at 2:00 o'clock. In partnership with Street Symphony Ase Ashe Drummers from the Heart obtained a permit to create a Drum Healing Circle in the park. Yes, it was a big hit! Our performance and interaction with the crowd really pumped up the energy. Upon leaving the park, everyone asked when are you coming back? We all said next month!

Refresh Spot I would like to introduce my other two younger teachers, first one is Saliou Mboup (Bara’s Son of the Sun), just like his father, he’s an awesome drummer and musician; this youngster does it all from singing and to playing the guitar – he is indeed the Fire in the group (we love you little bro!). And the legendary “Papa” Diarra Zumana (is to the right) Wow! This cat's hands are something else on the Djembe and he is also an excellent Dundun instructor; his talents took him around the world; he travels a lot and it just so happened we caught him for this event. I am honored to be building, conversing, and learning with Great and Divine Men.

I hope you all enjoy reading this and listening to the music. I would like to close with, I am a master student and a master teacher and then I am a master teacher and a master student. I will go through life continuously learning life’s lessons and continually teach my life lessons in hopes that someone can draw some wisdom from it and get over the hump because consciousness pervades all reality, and our consciousness influences our reality. We use our intuitive knowing to listen and look deep within us for the answers that we seek, and then we blend ourselves with the universal flow for clarity, direction to overcome obstacles. We do this with critical thinking, asking the right questions and questioning the information that we're receiving, and we all should be open to other perspectives, and continue to follow our passion, bless, heart contemplating on the what and why we may think in a certain way and then transcended that kind of thinking. I would like to thank my entire family at Street Symphony for helping me accomplish these events and giving me the room to create and present our narratives – a story from the heart. Thanks to Los Angeles Parks and Recreation and the family at Gladys and Julian Park and to everyone who uses the Skid Row Community Refresh Spot. My hat goes off to all the workers at the Refreshed Spot and keep up the good work.
