  10. @DrewNows lol .
  11. So I selected this picture from my archives And it will represent the rhythm system. This will consist of physical and spiritual aspects of life. The blue line represents the spiritual aspect. The pink line represents the physical aspect. When the physical aspect is not coping well, it will be flat and it the spiritual aspect is not coping well, it will be flat too. When both physical and spiritual aspects are in rhythm the distance between the lines will be small and both will show similar curvature. They will match each other in shape. When both spiritual and physical are not in tune, their shapes or curves will be different from each other. When both spiritual and physical aspects are elevated and coping well, in good rhythm, that is both are showing good growth then they will show a rising curve followed by a plateau that indicates stability.
  12. I wanted a picture for this rhythm system.
  13. @DrewNows cool. I caught a fish once when I was 13 at the beach. It was kinda struggling between my hands and then I let it go. I didn't want it to die. But I caught some more and later kept them in a small dish to just watch them in the water and later released them back.
  14. How can I improve my consciousness right now. By merging both physical and spiritual aspects of life. Mentally to be in a better and calmer state To create a physical state. A more normal physical state. I can call this a rhythm. Creating a physical rhythm and a spiritual rhythm. Anything that disturbs this rhythm is a disturbance. And there will a need to make corrections to these disturbances to bring back the original rhythm. Anything extra that benefits the rhythm directly and or fortifies it for the future can be called optimization. This can be called integration. A highly complex and evolved system The main insights here are Physical aspects of life Spiritual aspects of life Mental state or rhythm Physical state or rhythm Disturbances Corrections Integration This is the fundamental system because it cannot be any other way. I will call it the rhythm system
  15. @Zigzag Idiot thanks guy. I appreciate your presence as well. Love your journal. I do read it sometimes. You do in depth studies.
  16. Trying to control myself. No more okay???? Are you sure. No more is no more. Be firm. Just no more... So what happens when I wake up. In a kinda sleepy mood.

Don't be addicted. It will happen with some practice.. . . NMF.
  17. I begin with the damsel fish Many species live in tropical rocky or coral reefs, and many of those are kept as marine aquarium pets. Their diets include small crustaceans, plankton, and algae. However, a few live in fresh and brackish waters, such as the freshwater damselfish, or in warm temperate climates, such as the large orange Garibaldi, which inhabits the coast of southern California and the Pacific Mexican coast. They can grow up to 36 cms.

  19. Drums are extremely popular in Africa. In fact there are many different types of drums used. Latin Percussion and the Caribbean Drums No matter where in the world they originate, any musical instrument that gets beat is considered a percussion instrument, but not every percussion instrument is a drum. To put that in perspective: the Latin word percussio means to beat or to strike – in a musical sense, not with an implication of violence. That Latin word is the root of the term percussion and it covers anything that is struck to make a sound. Some musical instruments, such as the piano and the dulcimer use hammers to beat the strings, which produce the sounds. Yet they are not considered percussion. In fact, the piano defies standard classification: most accurately, it should be considered as a beaten-string instrument! Other instruments in the percussion section of any orchestra or band, such as chimes and maracas, are agitated rather than struck by the player – although one can beat a single maraca into one’s palm. Rain sticks do not get beat at all; the percussionist simply inverts the stick to generate its sound. Drum classifications include idiophones, membranophones, and electrophones by their basic classification: acoustic, electric, and world? by their region of origin: Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe among them? by their function: orchestra, band, marching, military...? by their configuration/size: standard, fusion, electronic, two-headed, single-headed? By their shape: cylindrical, goblet, hourglass, bowl, box? By how they’re played – by hand, with a mallet, with sticks, or by striking them against something? And should we include cymbals in our assessment? They are, after all, essential to a drum kit and make a welcome addition to any orchestra. Besides, they are some of the oldest musical instruments in the world! One thing we can say for sure: you don’t need us to break down a common drum kit – the kick drum, the tom-toms, the snare drum... African Drums Note the djembe drums by their goblet shape. In spite of this being a vast continent whose music is characterised by a strong rhythmic interest, many of the Sub-Saharan languages do not have a word for rhythm or even for music. Nevertheless, musicologist Arthur Morris Jones, who had travelled extensively throughout Africa from his home base in Zambia, found music across the continent so similar he considered even regional music styles a part of a bigger system found throughout Africa. The underpinning elements of African drumming consist of syncopation and cross-beats, or polyrhythms, played on such diverse instruments as: the udu – a ceremonial drum played by women in Nigeria the slit drum, also called log drum the djembe: goblet-shaped, it is the most well-known of African drums The ngoma is generally referred to as a ceremonial drum in Uganda. Traditionally, they are played during rituals and as a symbol of authority. They are also used to communicate over distances. The Bantu ethnic group, called Baganda, have a such a special connection to this drum that they refer to themselves affectionately as the children of the ngoma. Beware that the term ‘ngoma’ can be misleading as it is the Swahili word for ‘drum’ in general. Spoken in that sense, that word does not define a single drum, rather a set of up to seven drums, of different sizes and varieties, all linked and played together. The most common drums that comprise a ngoma (set) include a bakisimba which, when beaten, makes a deep bass sound. One might compare it to a western drum set’s kick drum. The empuunya has a slightly higher pitch and is smaller than the bakisimba; nevertheless, its sound is also in the bass range. The nankasa is played with sticks rather than beaten with hands like the other drums and it makes a high-pitched sound. You might think of this drum as the snare’s counterpart – minus the snares, of course. The drum most resembling the traditional, ceremonial ngoma is called engalabi. It is taller and more narrow than the other drums in the set. Furthermore, as opposed to the other drums, it has only one head, made of lizard skin and fastened with wooden pegs. All of the other drum heads are made of cowhide on top and bottom. These skins are laced together by means of an intricate weave. The engalabi has the highest pitch of any drums the set may comprise of. As you might have figured, it is a special honour to play this drum! Other African percussion instruments include the marimba and the mbira, both of which must be regularly tuned. Needless to say, drumming is a vital part of Bantu culture. Drum music, often accompanied by ritual dances are used to reinforce social cohesion, aid in healing and help reduce stress and tension. Have you ever heard of a drum circle? Have you ever participated in one? African tribes are not the only proponents of drumming to manage stress and help healing. According to the Resiliency Project, drumming has a therapeutic effect on our physical, mental, emotional and psychological well-being. It has been shown to help lower blood pressure as well as to boost immunity and in managing chronic pain. If you are any kind of music aficionado, you surely know this drummer for Def Leppard lost his left arm in a car accident. Rather than terminate his tenure, his bandmates aided his recovery by allowing him time to adapt to using an intricate pedal system so that his left foot plays the drums and cymbals his missing left arm would normally strike. Back to African drums, now... Of particular note in the African drum lineup is the talking drum: a two-headed, hourglass-shaped instrument with strings joining the top and bottom heads. When played correctly, the percussionist would seat the drum under his arm and squeeze the strings while beating the head, causing the tone and pitch to change, mimicking human speech. This drum type was generally used for communication more so than for making music, at least as we understand music making. Naturally, each region, language, country and tribe identifies their drums by names unique to their language, and one might find similar drums on one side of the continent as the other. The aforementioned djembe is a prime example of such. Furthermore, considering that Africa is the cradle of humankind, it is both reasonable and logical to postulate that, as humans migrated throughout the world, they took their drums with them. That is why we see similar drums in Asia, South America and even in the Caribbean!
  20. India banned tik tok just a few days back. India is on a banning spree.
