Scalar energy is the  fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It  originates from the sun and stars.

Tom began research with Scalar Energy during his undergraduate years after developing a deep admiration for the father of Scalar Energy research or knowledge, Nikola Tesla. He was also able to study the work of a man Hieronymus who continued research on Scalar Energy. Hieronymus’ major contributions included unbinding the RNA/ DNA bonds of microbes plaguing the agricultural industry (rendering them harmless).  The existence of such energy not found within the electromagnetic spectrum, fascinated Tom. Inspired by these findings, he pursued a course of independent study seeking to better understand and subsequently harness Scalar Energy, through the development of an instrument called “Scalar Light”.  Tom theorized that all energy in the universe initiates as scalar energy; and  that the sun of our solar system and the stars of the universe are the points  of origin, “the storehouses,” for scalar energy. He further theorized that  scalar energy is instructive energy, as the entire universe is instructed by  this Divine Essence. Subsequently, all spiritual, cognitive, emotional, and  physical action in the universe is initiated and maintained by scalar energy  instructions. Scalar energy provides order in the universe.

In this time of unprecedented rapid change,The Healing Drum wisely suggests what music and musicians can do to help create a moral and spiritual world." " Yaya Diallo was raised in a culture that works,worships,lives, and breathes to the beat of the drum. An instrument for transmitting traditional knowledge among the Minianka, the drum is the focal point of Yaya's life story and his link-through the universl medium of music-with the Western world."-"Exploring the Minianka view of the human being and the cosmos relative to daily work,celebration, herbal medicine, dance,trance initiation and death, in the tradition of the Minianka, music is a remedy for both physical and psychological imbalances, harmonizing the forces of the visible and invisible worlds. Along with excerpts from the book we will discuss the message of The Healing Drum and how it can affect change in the African Diaspora.Yaya Diallo was born in 1946 in the village of Fienso, Mali, to a nomadic Fula father and a Minianka mother. Thanks to his mother, being from the illustrious Berthe family (hunters,chiefs,musicians.), young Yaya had the opportunity to hear some of the best musicians of the former canton Zangasso. Healer and sorcerer Nangape Kone became his protector and mentor. We also look forward to discussing the current Convid-19 pandemic with Yaya, who graduated from the University of Montreal in Chemistry in 1973. Following a brief career as a chemist, Yaya returned to traditional African music. He was a co-founder of the music and dance groups Djembe-Kan and Cleba and a member of the African Troubadours with the World Music Institute as well as a faculty member with the Creative Music Studio, Woodstock, NY, and the Omega Institute.   ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/grassrootsholistichealth/2020/08/02/the-healing-drum-tolerance-and-peacea-live-interview-with-yaya-diallo</guid><pubDate>Sun, 02 Aug 2020 21:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63974502/the_healing_drum_tolerance_and_peacea_live_interview_with_yaya_diallo.mp3" length="60473305" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Wesley A Gray Jr</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The Healing Drum By Yaya Diallo and Mitchell Hall..is a  worldwide best selling book, which is noteworthy for its emphasis on the moral significance of music.

After attending the High School of Music &amp; Art, the 20 year old landed a job with the clubs house band headed by Steve Pulliam. Layne graduated with honors from Bronx Community College and continued his studies as a music major at Queens College. He has also studied privately with bassists Stuart Sanky, Ron Carter, and Alvin Bhrem.  Basies Night Club was just the beginning for this extraordinary musician; he went on to be a major player on the N.Y. scene. He has appeared with some of the great musicians of our time from Coleman Hawkins and Max Roach to Freddy Hubbard and Cedar Walton.

His knowledge of music theory and its application to solo and group performance is of the highest order. He is a formidable performer both as soloist and as a member of a jazz rhythm section. His skills are evident on both the upright double bass and the electric bass guitar. His experience also includes time spent performing with folk, blues, and rhythm and blues artist too. Josh White, Jimmy Witherspoon, Little Anthony, and Imperials, are some of the artists that he has the pleasure of performing with.

From that point on and through his teenage years, he traveled throughout the City seeking out percussion teachers from Haiti, Cuba and Africa in an effort to enhance his understanding of these rhythmic forms, styles and techniques. Bradley soon became a consistent and sought after Conguero and shekere player for community and religious events including weekend long Bembes, weddings and many other cultural events. Bradley not only developed as a percussionist; he became a knowledge base for that which had preceded him, by the transfer of knowledge through the Afro-Cuban and African oral traditions.  Bradley was soon very busy doing on-Broadway plays including: "Timbuktu" with Eartha Kitt and Melba Moore;   Bradley performed in nightclubs with Eartha Kitt, Gregory and Maurice Hines, Miles Jaye and Oba Babatunde. He has recorded and played with The Fatback Band and with drummer Norman Connors. Bradley has also appeared on Television including the Mike Douglas Show and the Cerebral Palsy Telethon. In 1990 and 1996, Bradley directed his own show at the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta and in Durham, NC, respectively, called "Cultural Journey: The Elements of Percussion".  Bradley is the former Music Director of the Chuck Davis African-American Dance Ensemble of Durham, NC and has taught throughout the United States; including at the Larocque Bey School of Dance and the Gloria Jackson School of Dance in NYC. He has taught percussion classes and drum clinics at Berkeley School of Music, Boston MA; Texas Southern, Houston, TX; Wichita State University, Wichita, KS and North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.  Bradley is a Musical Director at Duke University in Durham, NC, where he teaches West African Music and History]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/grassrootsholistichealth/2014/06/04/live-interview-with-master-percussionist-professor-baba-bradley-simmons</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63974419/live_interview_with_master_percussionist_professor_baba_bradley_simmons.mp3" length="19233344" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Wesley A Gray Jr</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Bradley Simmons, a native of New York City, began playing Afro-Cuban and African percussion when he was 9 years old.

"The New York City Marathon returned after a one-year absence with big crowds, heightened security and a familiar champion.  Geoffrey Mutai successfully defended his title Sunday, 11/3/13, while fellow Kenyan Priscah Jeptoo came from behind to win the women's race. Brons resident Buzunesh Deba finished runner-up for the secound straight time in her hometown event.  Fans again packed the 26.2 mile course, undaunted by the events of the past year.  The 2012 NYC Marathon was canceled because of the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, but not before many New Yorkers were enraged by initial plans to hold the race.  After the bombings at April's Boston Marathon, bomb-sniffing dogs roamed the course, and barricades limited access points to Central Park. A record of 50,740 runners started the race through the five boroughs.  Mutai, pulled away around Mile 22 and beat Ethiopia's Tsegaye Kebede by 52 seconds.  On a windy morning, Mutai's time of 2 hours, 8 minutes, 24 seconds was well off his course record of 2.05:06 set in nearly perfect conditions two years ago. He is the first man to repeat in New York since Kenya's John Kagwe in 1997-98.  Kebede, the london Marathon champ, clinched the $500,000 bonus for the World Marathon Majors title. Priscah Jeptoo, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist and 2013 London Marathon Champ won in 2:25:07 to clinch the $500,000 World Marathon Majors bonus."

A guestion that young warriors have already answered with some common notions such as " Only God can judge me"  and " Thugs Paradise"  Ahoofe Ntua Ka   ]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1849</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>ancestors yoruba akan meta net,a shea so be it it is done,communalism collectivity villa,dr leonard jefferies baba jehu,libation africa afrika</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/56d9e51ea4a4979b7bf8eae53eb92af4.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Dreams-A State of Reality</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/dreams-a-state-of-reality--63974376</link><description><![CDATA["Because the state of the body has a powerful effect on consciousness, your diet is a vital weapon of psyhic defense.  You have to create a higher energy in order not to be affected by the lower energy.

The author,Shakti Gawain, makes use of the terms "old world " and "new world" throughout the book as a way of referring to the old way of life that we are leaving behind and the new one that we are creating.  Many people, especially those who live in the western hemisphere, find that these times may be distressing, because the world situation and/or our personal lives may seem to be going from bad to worse.   She explains how "relationships in the old world have an external focus-we try to make ourselves whole and happy by getting something from outside ourselves.  Inevitably, this expectation results in disappointment, resentment, and frustration.  Either these feelings build up constantly and cause continual strife, or they are surpressed and lead to emotional numbness.  Still we cling to relationships out of emotional insecurity, or go from one to another searching for that missing piece that we haven't yet found.  Victim consciousness is the belief that we are helpless; the the world, people, and the economy do things to us and we have no choice but to accept what is dished out to us.  It's the feeling that we can be violated from the outside without our approval.     As victims, people enlist rescuers to save them. Rescuers do not know how to take care of themselves, or they focus on helping others, unconsciously trying to fulfill their own needs in an indirect way. They need victims to care for. A rescuer believes that others are weak of powerless and need help. Many people are dealing with both sides of this process.

The author,Shakti Gawain, makes use of the terms "old world " and "new world" throughout the book as a way of referring to the old way of life that we are leaving behind and the new one that we are creating.  Many people, especially those who live in the western hemisphere, find that these times may be distressing, because the world situation and/or our personal lives may seem to be going from bad to worse.   She explains how "relationships in the old world have an external focus-we try to make ourselves whole and happy by getting something from outside ourselves.  Inevitably, this expectation results in disappointment, resentment, and frustration.  Either these feelings build up constantly and cause continual strife, or they are surpressed and lead to emotional numbness.  Still we cling to relationships out of emotional insecurity, or go from one to another searching for that missing piece that we haven't yet found.  Victim consciousness is the belief that we are helpless; the the world, people, and the economy do things to us and we have no choice but to accept what is dished out to us.  It's the feeling that we can be violated from the outside without our approval.     As victims, people enlist rescuers to save them. Rescuers do not know how to take care of themselves, or they focus on helping others, unconsciously trying to fulfill their own needs in an indirect way. They need victims to care for. A rescuer believes that others are weak of powerless and need help. Many people are dealing with both sides of this process.

For many people, this time may be distressing, because the world situation and/or our personal lives may seem to be going from bad to worse.   She indicates how our established religious institutions support the fear of the intuition, nonrational self.  Once based on a deep awareness of the universal creative principle in evey being, many religions only pay lip service to that idea now. Instead, they seek to control the behavior of their devotees, using elaborate rule structures purported to save people from their deep, irrational, and basically "sinful" natures.  She states that generally, "less technically developed societies approach life with a deep awareness of and respect for the intuitive element of existence.  Every nuance of their daily lives is guided by a strong sense of connection with the creative force. And the African culture forcibly brought to this continent, has probably done more than any other culture to keep the intuitive power alive in our country through its strong spirit".   Shakti shares with us that "our children come into the world as clear beings. They know who they are and what they are here to do. I believe on some level of consciousness, parents and child have made an agreement, The parent has agreed to support and assist the child in developing his/her form and the child has agreed to help the parents to be more in touch with their intuitive selves. Because children have not yet lost their connection to their spirit." ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/grassrootsholistichealth/2012/09/10/living-in-the-light-intuition-and-synchronicity</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63974423/living_in_the_light_intuition_and_synchronicity.mp3" length="14501639" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Wesley A Gray Jr</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Living in the light is about the transformation of consciousness within each individual and in the world.

Dr. Joy Degruy - Post Tramatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing. Dr. Wade Nobles Afacnity and the Black Family: The Development of a Theoretical Model, Dr. Na'im Akbar-The Psychology of Slavery. Dr. Jeffery Gardere-Post-Traumatic-Slavery Disorder.  "With the same extraordinary skill that he used to demysify scientific abstraction and athe new physics,Gary Zukav, The award-winning author of the Dancing Wu Li Masters, here takes us on a brilliant and penetrating exploration of the new phase of evolution we have now entered",  " Zukav explains that we are evolving from a species that pursues power based upon the perceptions of the five senses-external power- into a species that pursues authentic power-power that is based upon the perceptions and values of spirit.  He shows how the pursuit of external power has produced our survival-of-the-fittest understanding of evolution, generated conflict between lovers, communities,and superpowers, and brought us to the edge of destruction. Using his scientist's eyes and philosopher's heart, Zukav shows how infusing the activites of live and reverence, compassion, and trust makes ;them come alive with meaning and purpose.  He illustrates how the emerging values of the spirit are changing marriages into spiritual partherships, psychology into spiritual psychology, and transforming our everyday lives".

"It signals "the birth of a healer," explains Malidoma Patrice Somé.  Thus, mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born.      What those in the West view as mental illness, the Dagara people regard as "good news from the other world."  The person going through the crisis has been chosen as a medium for a message to the community that needs to be communicated from the spirit realm.  "Mental disorder, behavioral disorder of all kinds, signal the fact that two obviously incompatible energies have merged into the same field," says Dr. Somé.  These disturbances result when the person does not get assistance in dealing with the presence of the energy from the spirit realm.      One of the things Dr. Somé encountered when he first came to the United States in 1980 for graduate study was how this country deals with mental illness.  When a fellow student was sent to a mental institute due to "nervous depression," Dr. Somé went to visit him.      "I was so shocked.  That was the first time I was brought face to face with what is done here to people exhibiting the same symptoms I've seen in my village."  What struck Dr. Somé was that the attention given to such symptoms was based on pathology, on the idea that the condition is something that needs to stop.  This was in complete opposition to the way his culture views such a situation.  As he looked around the stark ward at the patients, some in straitjackets, some zoned out on medications, others screaming, he observed to himself, "So this is how the healers who are attempting to be born are treated in this culture.  What a loss!  What a loss that a person who is finally being aligned with a power from the other world is just being wasted."

With his vegan restuarant located in the ethnicly diverse community of Crown Heigths, in Brooklyn, New York. Raw Star restaurant is one of many vegan restaurants that are opening in various communities of New York City.   Now that former President Bill Clinton has embraced the raw food vegan diet to assist in his maintaining a healthy heart, who knows what impact his influence may have on the eating habits of Americans and the food industry.   Raw food is uncooked, unprocessed, and mostly organic food. Vegan is a philosophy and lifestyle that excludes the use of animals and all animal byproducts for food,clothing or any other purposes. Mawule was not alone when he became vegan at age fourteen in a Rastafarian neighborhood in Trinadad where he grew up. Mawule will share with us his journey from being mentored by Aris La Triam, the Panama-born pioneer gourmet raw food chief and his career as a Brooklyn based caterer/restauranteur.   Mawule's grandmother lived in Africa for a while doing missionary work and came back to Trinadad when he was born. Following the African tradition, his childhood was spent with his grandma, helping her pick produce from thier backyard and learning how to cook.  "I am going back to the way our ancestors used to eat, before slavery forced us to plant cash generating crops...which are not our traditional foods' Mawule believes that both the positive and negative results of our diet play out over time, and works to spread that awareness." Its a gift to share it. These days diabetes is rampant even amoung children, so I go to schools and demo recipes that they will like, such as the naturally fruit sweet paradise pie. Since all the ingredients are inherently kosher and can be purchased and prepared directly by the group, anyone can be included. I understand what a raw food diet can do to overcome illness."
