SPIDERS

-

-

When I was a lil' jit, the one thing that would freak the Hell outta me were spiders.

-

Now, I see them as one of the most interesting BE~ings on Earth.

No matter how creepy you might find them, they still are God's Creation, therefore we must love them. They also have been on the Earth for at least 140 Million Years, therefore we must respect them. They are our elders after-all. :)

-

-

-

Spiders come in all packages.

Crab spiders have a spiny shell for instance; Tarantulas & wolf spiders are just as furry as mammals, while others might have skin like a gecko.

-

-

-

Spiders are natural-born hunters.

-

They are the lions & tigers of the insect world.

-

They are the kings & queens of a minute jungle.

-

-

-

We all know them for their glorious masterpieces called webs.

-

Most species of spiders do spin webs to catch their food, but not all.

(Some stalk & pounce their prey)

-

-

Spiders also use their webs to protect their offspring.

-

-

A spider's web is one of the strongest substances on Earth, made from a protein-based silk extruded from a spider's spinnerets (located at the end of the abdomen).

-

The tensile strength of spider silk is greater than the same weight of steel and has much greater elasticity. The military is even experimenting with creating bulletproof vests & armor out of the spider's silk.

-

-

This is one of the main reasons for it's creepy legs too.

If a spider happened to get its body caught in the web, it would become stuck like any other bug. So the legs help it to balance itself across its own DeathTrap.

-

-

-

Spiders were respected by the ancient world as gods & transcedental BE~ings.

-

In West Africa, Anansi, was the Trickster God. But behind each trick, there was always a valuable lesson to be learned.

-

In Native American culture, the DreamCatcher is a replica of the spider's web.

They hang it over places of rest and sometimes doorways too.

It is believed that the DreamCatcher can filter out the good from the bad dreams, so we could tap into the spirit world in a positive light.

-

Even in the Hindu religion, Vishnu (the god which preserves all of Creation) resembles a spider with his 8 arms.

He is the equivalent to what God is in the Christian religion.

-

-

-

Only God could create such a unique creature as the spider.

They have alotta the same things we have, such as eyes, stomach, brain, heart, teeth (fangs), digestive system, lungs, ovaries, etc.

On top of that, the pedipalp, are basically hands that help them to pull their food into their mouth.

-

Now, of course, their heart, stomach, etc. isn't positioned exactly how our heart, stomach, etc. is, but that just goes to show how creative our Creator really is.

-

Matter of fact, the brain of a jumping spider takes up as much volume in proportion to its body as does ours. You can't tell me they aren't working on some high levels of intellect.

-

I can't even imagine how they see the world neither. Spiders have 8 eyes & within each eye is about a hundred little eyes. Aint that some shit? God is truly the original Artist.

-

Of course, they all bite if they feel threatened & 98% of spiders carry some sort of venom, but hey, if you were that small amongst a world of giants, you'd probably want some sort of defense mechanism to deal with potential threats too. LOL

-
-

-

I just want people to realize how fascinating God's creations truly are from the smallest to the largest. We all vibrate on different levels, yet we all walk amongst the same planet.

-

Much Respect to brother & sister Spider.

Animal Kingdom

Human/Animal Comparisons

Many people state that animals dont have any logic; that they dont even harbor a soul or spirit, but i beg to differ. Animals may not vibrate on the same levels as we do, therefore, their logic & motivations obviously differ, but in this blog i seek to prove to you that we've probably learned more from the animals than wut we give credit for.........& we definitely could learn a whole lot more.

-

Of course they haven't built up huge societies like us, nor have they broke down energy thru science, nor do they subscribe to any doctrine to praise GOD. But the one thing i can say is that they respect GOD more than we do by maintaining the UNI~Verse's balance.

-

Check it out.............

-

-

-

-

I came up with this idea for a blog while goin for my middle-of-the-nite run when 2 animals showed me this revelation.

-

-

-

LOGIC

_______________________

The 1st one wuz a spider. I realized that during the day in my community, u rarely see them. U might catch a glimpse of one on a wall or a tree, but rarely.

-

But, it's guaranteed at night they're everywhere......lol.

Now, some of these spiders can build humungous webs stretching from up to 20-30 feet. Even then, they never make webs crossing the streets.....& at nite (over here) cars dont really be on the move. To me, it takes observance on behalf of the spider to know that there is a possibility that cars could come thru & knock down their webs.

-

Even in my very building, they never build webs on the staircase that is more frequently used, but the staircase which is used rarely is covered in webs.

-

On top of that, there is a walkway around one of the lakes in the community where these folks be doin their jogging & other excersizes. The spiders only seem to build their webs here between midnite & bout 5am. Of course, u can see i go out for runs a lot (lol), but my point being is there has to be some sorta logic in the mind of a spider to know when & where to build its home.

-

{LuvNLight 2 my spider brothers & sisters}

Now i know some of yall aint gon like this, but
Anutha animal that logically knows when & where to show itself is a roach. Of course they make a lotta mistakes, bcuz they're motivated by lower urges, but when do roaches really raid ur houses??????

At nite? Right?

They wait til the room is quiet & little to no movement is present. Then they come out & look for food. To me.....this also takes some sorta logic to determine when it is & isn't safe to come out.

-

LANGUAGE

___________________________

-

-

The next animal that led me to my revelation is a bird. Now i couldn't see wut kinda bird it wuz, but i do know that birds carry language.

-

Most birds tweet in different pitches that mean different things & also utilize an extensive series of clicking sounds. Certain sounds represent warning, some sounds represent acknowledgement, & some sounds even represent emotions such as happyness.

-

No, they don't have it broken down into consonants & vowels, but they sure enuff overstand each other. Just cuz we don't comprehend it doesn't mean it's not language.

-

{LuvNLight to my birdie brothers & sisters}

-

-

-

-

Bats also are anutha example that came to mind when it came to language, even though, i didn't see any on my run. lol

-

Bats are the most vocal mammals next to humans.

They communicate thru songs. Most bat sounds we can't hear b-cuz they speak in ultrasonic waves; some too high or too low-pitched for the human ear.

-

Mexican Freetail bats, for instance, use between 15 and 20 syllables to create calls. Every male bat has its own unique courtship song. The pattern of all courtship songs is similar, but each male bat uses a different syllable in its distinctive song. Bats also use sophisticated vocal communication to draw territorial borders, define social status, repel intruders, instruct offspring, & to recognize each other.

-

GOVERNMENT

---------------------------------

-

Many of the governments that have been run throughout human history can be traced back to animal behavior.

-

Wolf packs have been compared to wut we call a hierarchy. This hierarchy is broken down into a dominant breeding "Alpha pair", a group of subordinate "Beta" individuals, and the scapegoat "Omega wolf" on the lowest end of the hierarchy. They are basically a king & queen, prince & princess, and everything else below that in a kingdom, especially since the wolf-pack is family-based.

-

Wolves are very territorial, setting up shop in about a 70-80 mile radius. Over 90% of wolf deaths in the wild are due to wolves coming to close to another pack's border. Crazy ain't it? You'd swear they copied us down to a "Tee" or vice versa.

(Borders are determined by scent marking via/urine & by howling)

-

Of course i can go on & on in detail about their very distinct system that they run, but i'll leave that for yall to research on ur own time.

-

{LuvNLight to my wolf brothers & sisters}

-

-

-

The next one is the Lion Pride, which is a lot like the relationship between a pimp & his prostitutes; the only difference is the grace in which lions & lionesses carry themselves.
-
A lion pride usually consists of one lion (sometimes two), a multitude of lionesses, & their offspring. The male lion's job is to basically chillax & scan his territory for intruders, while the lionesses go out & work.
The lionesses do everything basically from hunting, protecting the pride, & raising the offspring.
-
A lion spends about 20 hours of his day just resting up, about 2 hours walking, & spends the late-night hours left in his day for socializing, grooming, etc.
When the lionesses bring the food, he's first to eat. Basically his job is just to protect them & breed, but when he gets too old to handle this responsibility, he is usually replaced with a better pimp......lol....i mean a younger lion that can handle the job.
-

-

-

Then there are the bees.......who run their government as a Queendom.
-
The Queen is the Head of the colony & her sisters work for her; each having different positions within the society. Some go out & find food, while others protect the nest.

-

Male bees are drones & play a very small role....only really used for breeding.

-

{LuvNLight to my bee brothers & sisters}

-

-

-

Next we have the ants......

Not all ants work by the same kinds of societies, but the most popular government amongst ants is a caste system. Ants societal positions are determined according to the size of the ants. Castes consist of soldier ants, worker ants, the queen ants, etc.

-

Wut's crazy about ants is there are certain colonies that are very nomadic & primitive compared to the average ant society. Most ant societies communicate thru chemical pherimones that they release in the air, but the primitive species of ants relies only on its sight. They are known to attack (robbing & killing) the more sophisticated societies. Certain primitive ants kidnap the young of other ants to raise as slave-workers for their colony.

-

Damn. This sounds too much like humans & u wonder Y America wuz once considered a colony. Where did we get this knowledge from?

LOVE

-----------------------------

Now Love (the ability to love) is wut supposedly separates us from the animals. They supposedly don't have spirits & souls b-cuz they can't feel like we do........That's a buncha BS!!!!

-

Love is the ONEness that pieces the whole of Creation together. If anything, they might have love more downpat than us, b-cuz it's free of judgement.

-

-

-

1st...... I'll start with the dolphins.

Dolphins are a highly affectionate & intimate species. Many cultures even consider them to be celestial BE~ings.

-

Dolphins take more of a hippy approach to love, believing in free love.

-

Sexwise, dolphins engage in lengthy foreplay; the actual act of sex is usually brief, but may be repeated several times within a short timespan. They are known to have sex for reasons other than just reproduction, sometimes even engaging in Homosexual Behavior.

Dolphins have also been known to show aggression with each other over disputes with their companions & over competition for companionship.

-
-
-

But for the most part, dolphins are very kind at heart. There have been multiple records of dolphins guiding lost whale calves back to their mothers & also protecting humans from potential shark attacks.

-

-

-

Dolphins also love to engage in playful activity. They are one of the most social animals in the whole entire animal kingdom.

-

-

Now this is a sad picture, but i wanted to show you how devastated this gorilla wuz when her baby died.....just like a human mother.

(they say she carried the baby with her for weeks, tryin to revive it)

If this isn't love, wut do u call it?

-

-

-

{LuvNLight to my gorilla brothers & sisters}

-

-

-

Of course, i couldnt speak on love amongst the animal kingdom without mentioning the lovebirds. Their name stems from the parrots' strong, monogamous pair bonding & the long periods in which paired birds will spend sitting together.

Lovebirds basically bring forth the concept of soulmates.

If a companion dies, they will mourn until death.

-

{LuvNLight to all my lovebird brothers & sisters}

-

-

-

Of course, i could go on & on down the list of animals in the animal kingdom, but the main motivation of this blog wuz to show that animals are people just as much as we are animals. Respect for ALL BE~ings must be shared on this planet before we can ever consider ourselves as humane.

Plus we need to give credit where credit is due.......everything that we do, the animals have been doing way before we came into existence.

-

-

Lots of folks feel that we are superior, but wut is superiority when all we have done is destroyed this world more & more with our own greedy agendas?

Maybe the animals are the only real intelligent ones. Maybe we are the insane species that has no sense. Marinate on that......

Natural Remedies

Plants Over Pills

I just got home from doin a performance at Banana Boat in Fort Lauderdale & while i wuz out there, i realized sumthin had bitten me on my finger. I don't know wut it wuz or when it happened, but by the time i got to the krib, there wuz crazy inflammation.

Instead of goin' to the hospital or putting some chemical on my hand, I went to the fridge & grabbed the Aloe.

I cut it open & placed the gelatin-like substance that's inside the Aloe plant & placed it on the sore for like 10 minutes. When i removed it, the swelling had already started to go down & the itchy irritation ceased.

All these drugs that these doctors are claiming to discover that heal this & heal that is BS. The ancients had the answers for thousands of years in plants. Check out some of the remedies that i know about.

GREEN TEA

Green tea is great for cleaning out the mouth & ridding of bad breath + it's much more healthier than all the chemicals added to your Listerine bottle.

Green tea is also great for weight loss & holds many antioxodants that can keep the body's immune system strong & clear of diseases.

If u dont like green tea as a liquid, you could easily use it as a seasoning in your cooking as well. {It actually brings out a clearer taste to the food too}

GOTU KOLA

This herb is also used in tea form. It's great for memory & concentration.

Real Talk.....

Gotu kola is also widely consumed by elephants & you know wut they say bout them, right?

Elephants never forget & actually it's true; they have one of the greatest minds for memory in the animal kingdom, so if you know this shit works on elephants, it definitely can handle us lil' humans. lol

SPIRULINA ALGAE

Where do we usually see algae??????????? In dirty water.

Well, that's b-cuz algae actually purfies dirty water, so imagine wut it does to our bloodstream with all the toxins we put in our bodies on a day-to-day basis.

Spirulina or blue-green algae is a blood purifier great for keeping your body healthy and/or even can be used for combating such diseases as STDs & cancer.

GINGER ROOT

This is great for when ur sick. I recommend this to my peeps when they've got any kind of head cold, stomach flu, or fever & 90% of the time, they feel better.

Its good to have even when you're not sick to keep you on point.

YOHIMBE BARK

Once again we dont need pills when there are substances in their natural forms that do the same things for you. Men........if u got erectile dysfunction, there's no need for Viagra, Levitra, etc.

Chewing on Yohimbe bark or drinking it as an extract does the job just fine. lol

GARLIC

Now we all know garlic tastes great in food, but did u know it has many healthy qualities as well. A lil' bit of garlic per day keeps the doctor away. lol

Garlic is great for bloodflow, which means it's great for the veins, arteries, & last but not least, the heart.

Of course it has other qualities such as releasing toxins in the organs & the skin.

Not too mention, it can be used as an aphrodesiac. lol

CHAMOMILE

Having sleep issues??????? No need for NyQuil or other sleep medicines that are highly addictive & bad for you with too much use.

Chamomile tea does the job just fine as a relaxer that'll put ur ass to sleep. lol

-

-

-

NE~Wayz.....I know there are many other great plants like Ginko Biloba, Noni Juice, Ginseng, Seraseed, Acai Fruit, Chlorophyl extract, etc., etc.

-

-

-

Just next time, when you're looking for a solution for a physical or mental discrepancy, dont be lazy & dont just take anything. Do your research & know that there's alwayz a natural answer to your problem.
