July 20 Dante.

Damn this my last day being 27. This year went by too damn quick, I'm excited about the revolutions that will begin! Bring it on.

Call me old school, but cooking, cleaning, taking care of babies, and serving your partner like a King or Queen while elevating on higher concious levels will keep your ass in a relationship. word, some people lost that Art, and wonder why they cant stay in one. Im just saying whats on my mind reppin my new lesbian sexual orientation! lol Pride and Power yall 7 lol ;)

Since I quit Starbucks I have gained an awesome ability to read people> and it boils down to this> People either got your back and want to see you excell, or they hate on your dreams and passions while smiling in your face (Love vs. Hate), People amaze me on how they can change in a twinkling of an eye, Please understa...nd Ladies and Gents that your selfish attitude will get you nowhere in life! Share the Love. 7

Great Timing! Unemployment Benifits have been extended. Yo Obama Good Lookin Out Bruh! Now thats a Good Early Birthday Present!!

I try my hardest not to judge no one, but I do have the right to have an opinion and tell you how it is.

there's a dude that posts himself at the 125th St. Subway station saying "Come to the Light, Come back to God" and he's not begging for change he's just begging for Change! Power 7

destroy your ego.

I wanted to know the opposite of ego so I googled it and this is what I got...

Spirituality information tells us that we live in a world of dualities. One of the primal dualities is our ego and our sacred self. Our sacred self is the voice of our spirit and our ego is the opposite of that. The law of attraction tells us that if we only listened to our sacred self we would live in truth and harmony however our spiritual growth tells us that it is the contrasts in life that make this adventure worthwhile.

If the ego were the only voice that we heard to help us make life decisions, then we wouldn't have a chance to receive the truth of the spirit. One of the wonders of our existence in the realm of relativity is that in order for something to exist and be experienced, it must have an opposite that allows us to see what it is not.

The opposite of the ego is the sacred-self. The ego exists and functions and can only be in control of what it knows. Everything the ego knows is based on past experience and memories and future expectations or imaginings. The ego gets its information from the mind.

The sacred-self, in the same manner, exists and functions and can only be in control of what it knows. Everything the sacred-self knows is based on universal truths that exist in the present moment. The sacred-self gets its information from the spirit.

So, we have two voices that are constantly funneling information to us as we encounter life's events. These voices sound the same and both carry with them a certain logic for any given situation. Typically, the first voice you will hear as you encounter some situation in life is your sacred-self. The sacred-self is always in the present moment and is always armed with the ultimate truth of who you are.

So the sacred-self doesn't have to "think" about anything as it encounters life's events. The sacred-self observes and then speaks the truth of the moment. That is why it is often the best course of action to go with your first thought about something. This is your intuitive thought. This is the thought that pops in your head as your first recognition of what is true for you and a course of action that will ultimately serve you.

The ego does not live in the present moment and therefore it does not have the luxury of being able to speak one truth for all situations. The ego can only be in command of what it knows, and all of the ego's knowledge is based on what it remembers from the past or what it has projected for the future as a continuation of this knowledge of the past.

The ego has to absorb the life event that you encounter and then search for an appropriate reaction to that event, based on what you have done in the past in similar situations, or what the ego projects that you should do in the future, to bring about its own projection of how it thinks the future should turn out.

So typically, soon after you hear your first intuitive voice suggesting a course of action, you will hear what sounds like the same voice giving you a thought about alternative courses of action.

This is the ego catching up to the action at hand. The ego has had to take some time to analyze and rationalize what is best for the ego. The ego isn't concerned with the ultimate truth of the moment because the ego does not exist in the present moment.

The present moment is a moment that unifies everything. When you are fully present in the eternal moment of now you are one with all things. This is where your spirit dwells. This is where your sacred self operates. This is where the ultimate truth about who you really are can be discovered at any given moment. This is where you are in a state of innocence. It is a state where, at the very deepest level, it is as if you are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching everything for the very first time.

The present moment is where life is lived from the heart. The past and the future are lived in the mind. The ego dwells in the world of the mind where the concepts of time and space allow it to believe that it is separate from all things.

The present moment is the space of unity. The past and the future are the space that allow for separation. If you look at the history of the ego and the sacred-self, you can see how this concept of separation evolved.

The life of a guerrilla poet named divine. Words #1

Today, in the name of the west Indian day parade, I decided to go out the house with 7 Roserys and my flag since every wants to represent on Labor Day there true colors. This flag will represent the Geurrilla Styles and Righteous Soul Movement. My Flag is an American Flag turned upsidedown and in the 1st white line it is written “THE GEURRILLA STYLES AND RIGHTEOUS SOUL MOVEMENT!!!” the second line states “Alimentacion a traves estilo y Soul” and on the third line I posted 7 stars which begin with the first 3 stars of the flag that is turned upside down. And there it is…
SO I got on the D train started off my day and go from car to car reciting my poetry very guerrillaly and I run into this one car and this brotha comes up to me to try to explain to me the signifigance of turning the American Flag upside down, he told me that it is a sign of distress. …Which is my point exactly, In the background while he was telling me thins another brother in the background said, “Forget that SHIT, Keep it Going!!!” and that’s exactly what I decided to do. Keep it going Today I started of in the Bronx on the D Train and worked the A, G, and 4 trains all the way to Brooklyn and back to Manhattan, I got off in Greenpoint and stoped in this lil NICE tattoo parlor called 3 Kings, (I thought that was divine..lol) and then I got on a bus, wrote in my notebook and randomly got of in a neighborhood that I didn’t even know where it was I walked up though because I had a feeling that eventually I would be led up to Eastren Parkway because as I kept walking up I kept walking past barricades. I walked passed Medgar Evars College in Crown Heights (that’s how I knew I was in the neiborghood because I used to live there years ago) and I found myself on Eastren Parkway. Tonight is the night of Juve so the Popo is getting ready and People with apartments at Eastren Parkway are setting up shop. So I decided to support one of the vendors, one was selling flags and bracelets. I bought a Cuba Flag and an Ethiopian Flag, and Jamaician and a Hatian Bracelet. And I went on my way. I found the train at Nostrand ave and I got on the first train that I could get on, that train took me to New Lots Ave. ??? I don’t know what neiborghood I was in bet I seceded to eat at get a Curry Chicken with Broccolii and hella vegitables while I was hungry (a sweet tea and a shrimp eggroll 2… shh… don’t tell nobody;)) In the meantime I lost my Ethiopian flag which is a bummer… After I ate my food I decided to go to the bodega to get some water because my mouth was mad dry and a pen, I got on the train, let it ride to Kingston Ave. and I did my poetry. That then led me to gain 8$ on my first car which was hella motivational, I swear I didn’t need no one else to give me anymore money so I worked the entire train and ended up making a total of 15$ and its all straight blessings and I respect that.
When I work the trains, I work with a divine calamity and try to keep a subtle yet “sometimes” humerious sense. I try to put myself in the seat of the people that Im speaking to. What would I want to hear from a subway poet or what kind of tone would I want to hear. Honestly I can NEVER predict who will put monies in your hat. Which has gave me the ability not to judge a book by its cover, and Love all of my people as the collective of New York City.
When I do subway poetry I try to carry a book along with me, (Its my moonblock to protect me as the ipod protects the patrons who cant hear me out when I voice my poetry on the trains) Todays book is Kwame Nkrumah’s “Consciencism” I turned to Chapter 3 and found a very magical quote by Mazzini which stated: “
“Every true revolution is a programme; and derived from a new, general, positive and organic principle. The first thing necessary is to accept that principle. Its development must then be confined to men who are believers in it, and emancipated from every tie or connection with any principle of an opposite nature. “
…..On that note, I just want to end this blog by saying that I am a founder of a very true revolution called “the Guerrilla Styles and Righteous Soul Movement” which is the programme stated in our Declaration. Currently I am the General, and when I get old and start settling down I prey that someone Glorious and Magnificent can take my place and spread words of Peace through the Movements name. I belive that the principles in our movement are truly positive and organic. I hope and prey everyone down with the movement honestly belives in its mission. And that’s all I got to say, I represent TEAM GOOD, and TEAM PEACE it is a cold war do you know who you are fighting for??? ;) Janell Monae.
God Bless U All in your journey torwards PURE ORGANIC FREEDOM ;) Power7.

demanding peace on earth...

...through the Guerrilla Styles and Righteous Soul Movement!

WHATS POPPIN My Magnificent Revolutionaries! The time is now to make this world a better place, It is up to us as a people to take action and make Peace in this world. I'm not doing this for no recognition, I'm doing this because I want changes to happen so that my Children one day have a better future in this world, I am a public servant to my people and the future state of this world. I am a human being dammit, and I am tired of all of the corruption and negativity in this world. It seem likes we are all waiting for some savior to rescue us, Why cant we save ourselves from all this destruction going on in the world. If we keep moving on the path that we are moving on then the END will sure come. I believe that it is up to us to act as the angels and heal the world from all this negativity and promote guerrillatastic styles that bring forth our Righteous Souls. I am a spiritual being and I respect ALL Religions, because I was born in the U.S.A., therefore I have been baptized and not isolated from everything that this nation has to offer. I am a Poet, Visionary, Artist, Cook, Businessman, & Divine Hustler gathering all the tools for Change. This decade is our time to discover our Royalty and be proud of who we are as a Human Race. God Bless us all in this Revolution we face to inherit it all and Create HEAVEN ON EARTH with our MASTERMINDS and HEAL THE WORLD. May God Bless you on your journey as human being to represent for the Beautiful and Majestic Destiny of our Future!!! Yours Peacefully, -Divine Giray

the declaration of the guerrilla styles and righteous soul movement.

In the federal constitutional republic of the United States of America here in the State and City of New York, in the borough of the Bronx on September 2, 2010 written on the D train at 205th Street @ 12:32 a.m. declares the epiphany of the Guerrilla Styles and Righteous Soul Movement!

I Dante Goodrich Giray (aka Divine Giray, aka Divine Styles),
on this second day in the month of September in the year twenty ten declare that I am the founder of the Guerrilla Styles and Righteous Soul Movement! a movement which represents ALL PEOPLE, ALL CULTURES, ALL STYLES creating a style and soul that individualistically represents all of Life's Glory.

Guerrilla Styles is inspired by the GUTTER, the GRITTY, and the GANGSTA elements of society wherein it imposes the rawest form of expression that any human being can rise up from battling any form of adversity and oppression in subtle manners & artistic ways.
As modern technology advances we the people have the tools and ability to promote and advertise independently in the freshest form possible. We use the tools that we have to create expression with full freedom that brings forth
the 7 essences of the movement:
1) Culture
2) Spirituality
3) Divinity
4) Love
5) Joy
6) Life
7) God.
We are the innovators, We are the creators, We are the leaders, We are the Artists, We are the Subtle. We are the Grass Rooted, We are Guerrilla Styles.

Righteous Soul is our Genre which is inspired by the SUFFERING of the world, the OPPRESSION of people, and the DREAM to rise above it all, creating a peaceful union from the ground up. We represent for team GOOD, not team BAD, and we do this because our past has a negative history that may contradict our character and can caste us insane or hypocritical. So we stand for Good at all times representing the Glory of the most high, at this state of mind our soul will naturally gain respect.
As a genre in itself we feed off of
the 7 sounds which are:
1) Soul
2) Afro-Beat
3) Hip Hop
4) Poetry
5) Gospel
6) Indigenous
7) The Radio.
blending all will create the Righteous Soul Sound.

with these inspirations, representations, essences, and sounds we create our freedom as Children of God, & we do all that we can to bring forth Gods light to the Planet Earth, therefore this is why we are the Guerrilla Styles and Righteous Soul Movement. We Represent our Freedom naturally gaining our Prosperity through our Consciousness.

God Bless Us All in our Journeys.
Keep the Faith, and Stay on a Righteous Path.
With Love.
-Dante Goodrich Giray

ended 12:53a.m. Let the Movement Begin...
