Get Naked! (inspired by Erykah Badu's video for Window Seat)

I've been getting 'naked' for a long while now. I've been shedding my 'skin' for quite some time now. What is the big deal with being naked? In an appropriate setting I suppose. Whatever that is for you as I would love to be naked in church. But then again my ‘private launch pad’ IS my church as I come into it, shed my clothing and bask in the glory of all my nakedness. I am in my element of HIGER loving nakedness. Hey some folks follow the Bible and from what I last read (from the old testament which isn’t an easy read at all! Not the remixes) folks were naked damnit! From my interpretation they covered to protect themselves from the elements of earth (weather, bugs, and animals perhaps) but not from each other. Not from simply being and doing. We came out our mothers naked! Most of us screaming into the cold abyss of this wild ride we call life. But yet, we put on layers of mental clothing. Covering up ourselves. My mom promoted comfort with the human body to this extent of being naked around the house occasionally. She was beautiful in her nakedness. One of the few times in her life that her mood, her aura seemed free.

I remember watching tribes in little orphan Africa and other remote places of the earth live in their naked splendor in somebody’s backwoods that some ‘missionary’ felt the need to come visit and infringe on their right to live as they are. We are the many faces and stories of peril strife struggle. What ‘we’ as a people need to realize that it's(because I can only talk about the Black ‘we the people’ as I am black and it’s a perilous triumphant struggle)it’s so so so much bigger than that. Bigger than Black bigger than Black. BIGGER THAN BLACK. This fear of being 'naked' is existant everywhere in every spectrum of the HUMAN rainbow. Cloaked and shrouded in daggers of other frequencies stabbing at you/us as humans. You are aware there are points of contradictory control at work here right?? pssst..hey you..YEAH YOU.. GET NAKED! (spiritually, mentally, hey even physically if it helps you reach your Spirit )

Please celebrate your nakedness. Begin to bask in your nakedness and you will begin to find your form of the 'you' that is. Not what it could be; not what it should be but simply what IS. Lets see who gets this message or better yet HOW you get it!
This particular viewpoint is dedicated to my mother... my beautiful "Naked Marble" ;)

NEXT Viewpoint - Open minded

Very little child talking to infant sibling, “hey…tell me how God is like again because I keep forgetting”. My eyes water at the thought of this sentiment. My heart breaks because I know we’ve all forgot. And ‘we’ replace that key inner knowledge with external pseudo images instead of answering that ringing… that internal ringing.
“It is the balance” I suppose is my only verbal solace when thinking about the realms beyond ourselves.
“It is the balance” drips from my lips so easily now as if it’s now graduated to the land of excuses.
It’s bigger and greater and further and wider and open… OPEN…. To be open to be open of mind to be open of mind to be mindful of your open-ness. How open are you? What is it to you? How does it make you feel? Look at yourself feel yourself touch yourself taste yourself hold yourself. Your body your brain your heart! Open it… this is what the dance is about! This is all the dance of our lives has ever been about. REMINDERS of ourselves.


Some/most of ‘us’ folks who have the Audacity to share our moments in time is a groovy thing because I do it. With sharing comes the invitation of tandem thoughts from others. Either we can agree to disagree amicably & turn the rocks of our collectective viewpoints and RESPECT IT on both sides of the spectrum. It takes a BIG person with a sense of self overstanding to say, "Hey I don't agree with your train of thought, but because I may not agree or understand, I will not hurt you for it (mental/spiritual hurt or even physical).
Or if you can’t handle the opposing sentiments shut your foolish ass mouth and stop sharing your brand of so called 'deepness'. Sincerely, thanks for the reminder of someone else’s thoughts but please don’t chop me down because I don’t swim in your frequency of ‘freelance’ thought. Hey this aint about ‘you' and this dance is definitely bigger than me. Kick push coast.


Directed To - Ready or Not

"People are you ready?
Yes we're ready!
Are you really ready?
We wanna be ready!
Ready for the change that may approach you?
Yes!
Follow down the path that you supposed to?
Yes!
People are you ready?
Yes we're ready!
Are you really ready to try?
We wanna try harder!
You know mistakes are trials that we learn from?
Yes!
I order to live life, you must earn one?
Yes!
People are you ready?"

Chorus from Trying People by De La Soul on Bionix

“They’re not ready” They’re not ready for ‘IT’.
As a Living Artist who utilizes the world as her muse along with building the ‘Aura’ within… I can’t help but sometimes scream… whelp if they/you aint ready now, WHEN THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA BE READY?!. Please under/overstand, I am keenly aware of pace of self. Gosh I know of it as I’ve been running and running and running and running for a long time only to end up ‘here’. Words spilling from my brain to my fingertips like machine gun blasts. Some controlled bursts while others are unbridled. But in the illusion of time and space, I cannot help but ask, WHEN THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA BE READY?!

When the cows come home?
When the chickens come home to roost?
When hell freezes over?
When pigs fly?
When I'm blue in the face?
When when when when when. As a Living Artist, should I be subjected to wait for your ass while you dilly dally run through your own valley of skins?
Weight broke the wagon damnit and I’m trying to put shiny chrome spinning hubcaps that reflect our ‘SUN’ on my Audacious wagon wheels! All the while, you’re not ready… but you decide to hug your insecurities that aren’t so obscure and get mad when I leave your ass behind. Get mad and say things like, “you’ve changed” or “you think you’re all that” YES THE HEAVEN I DO AND YES I HAVE CHANGED! If I don’t then who will. Self esteem is the steam fueling my steamship on my personal love boat.

But yet, ‘They’re not ready”. The magic within mediocrity is attempting to stifle OUR GROWTH. Other Living Artists say, “they’re not ready” so while these Living Artists may not succumb to the basic brands of mediocrity; they damn sure don’t contribute to the purpose of being a LIVING ARTIST.

I’M READY as you’re cordially and lovingly invited. If you choose not to accept me being ready, fine too but don’t expect me to wait for your ass! Please don’t ask me for ‘discount tickets’ on this trip (aka dumb ME down).

Until we begin to take the ride into the paradigm of ourselves though our preciously flawed objectionary opticals of ourselves, we will always be living contradictions. Which aren’t really contradictions at all. Just shifts in our dualities.
If you don’t get it, ask what I mean and I’ll graciously water the thirsty plant in your mind. If you do get it, testify and spread the love.

Delightful Disclaimer – ‘Viewpoint of Directed To’ series is mostly ‘general’ rants, raves & hearty banter in Aura’s mind. They may or may not always be direct adventures of Aura Dynamo, however one can never be too sure. Names, dates and anything else that might prove otherwise have been omitted to protect some of the innocent and perhaps a few lovely idiots. .
