falling into modesty like falling out of shame.

The sages say before Adam n Eve fell out of Eden -
they had access to all the knowledge,
could physically see all of creation, only knew unconditional love -
every intellectual desire
was instantly manifested physically.

According to the Torah/Zohar Adam and Eve had no physical flesh, while living in the Eden.
The great sages described Adam and Eve is being physically celestrial male and female entities,
with no human flesh.

Which in my opinion!
is a very interesting argument for why Judaism stresses male and female modesty.

Maybe it has very little to do with sexuality,
in terms of people dressing too sexy -
inducing sexual thoughts or sexual behaviors.

Perhaps..
modesty has more to do with intellectual capacity
the ability to perceive,removing judgement .
Recapturing the original mind
Given to mankind by God during creation.

My reasoning is...
According to Torah
when Adam & Eve develop human flesh,
then covered themselves,
with leaves
in shame.

Shame
in this context
could
be
understood
- as a new idea, reveal'ment of lack or deficiency, being incomplete, an idea not existing in the Garden of Eden, before the fall.

The sages say
after a hundred and thirty years of separation
Adam an EVE reunited.

Think about it:
Adam and Eve fell out of the garden because of a sin-
they developed flesh -
then look at each other
with shame .

And what did they do next?

Adam and Eve
covered themselves with leaves.

Why?

Not because they were embarrassed!
but they wanted to return to their original (Garden of Eden perception level)
state before human/animal flesh or shame was introduced.

Why?

Because when Adam and Eve were celestrial (above the flesh)
they had access to all the knowledge,
had complete unconditional love,
could see all of creation.
Lived in a complete dream state
of unconditional happiness..

After shame
was introduced
in Adam and Eve's reality - it was "the covering themselves", that allowed them to supersede, the shame.

In closing...
Arguably the "rabbinical laws of modesty" have more to do with "elevation of consciousness to a Garden of Eden reality/perception" then the restriction of sexuality or sexual thoughts.

a side note:
93% of American students perform higher while wearing uniforms -grades go up by 34% and there is also less bullying going on in schools.

I'm not saying my perspective is fact; I'm just saying I have a prospective...

#shariffnomics

When you think about social media and analytics - It's easy to see how limited "The traditional forms of currency" is as a means of exchange between two parties???

Everybody knows I'm a big believer in "human base networks". All of the Global Movements, I've started have been based around regular people utilizing their talents nd social media to organize a community/network.

Today Wall Street investors are saying every member of a social community/network online is worth $100 per individual.
The best examples of community-based financial value: are the series of acquisitions of cell phone apps by major media companies (for hundreds of billions of dollars).

But the vision I have around communities - isn't based around their ability to just be leveraged onto a social media platform.
More so, my vision has been based around -
the ability/inspiration of everyday people to reevaluate their human worth, value, uniqueness...
individually and as a Collective (from an economic standpoint).

The vision around "human base Networks" is a "revolution of evaluating human self perception" - developed through economic evolution.
"#shariffnomics2016 is the currency exchange model???"

"The traditional forms of Currency" is slowing everything down -
because if two groups/crews wanting to exchange unique services for the betterment of their collective lives -
without the "traditional forms of currency", they are unable to do so. get it?

For example:
if one group of people can paint a house and another group of people have onions
as of right now
there's no way for them to exchange painting a house for
onions
unless you evaluated both services though monies.

Point is:
monies dictate the value of the onions
not the desire of the humans wanting them
and the same goes for the financial value of painting a house.

"Human desire should not be stifled by currency exchange but rather it should enhance Human exploration"

Human intellect, Human experiences, human based communities: are the new currency, which can be exchanged globally without currency.

I'm calling this grassroot community based form of human desire economic exchange - "#shariffnomics"

#sharifnomics  is a "new forms of currency exchange " facilitating a new era of human potential -
expressed through "grassroots human base networks" globally/domestically.

hip hop articulating social media culture

"Social media culture" has transformed the message of hip hop from "look at me" 2 "listen to me".

 How has social media affected the psychology of today's consumer in terms of self perception?

 - before social media culture. hip hop is very much about bling bling, look at me but now hip hop is very much about "this is how I feel, this is my life, do you empathize - can you relate.."

A new study by a researcher at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, says that by 2015, the high majority of Americans will use social media up to 12 to 15 hours a day.

It's not so much that social media culture transformed hip hop at it's transformed the new generation's perception of reality.

......so another way of looking at hip hop is not from the standpoint of rap music but more so as being a conduit, articulating social change - social revolution- expressed through rap & fashion ..

Angela Martinez show marginalizing Breakfast Club

As a side note:

Slowly but surely "The Breakfast Club" radio/Tv show is starting to fall off ...
the interviews are becoming repetitive, the same guest, it seems like they're holding back,
not being as aggressive.
As they were in the beginning; (google Kanye West interview Breakfast Club) creating the original (Howard Stern type) shock value (excitement) to viewers/listeners.

In my opinion..
- the main issue is the "Angie Martinez Show", another hip-hop, celebrity driven interview based radio/Tv show - doing a deal with "revolt TV". (The same network Breakfast Club is already broadcastin with!)

My reasoning is..
- the high-profile guests whom would normally have no choice but to come on "The Breakfast Club" dealin wit all the craziness of "Charlamagne tha Gd" etc. Now have the option of Angie Martinez; who's a much more low energy, polite, classic interviewer .

For example..
 - J. Cole & Nicki Minaj just released albums & opted "not" to do interviews on "The Breakfast Club".
Instead,
Did hour long interviews
wit Angie Martinez on the same network.
Both Nicki Minaj & J Cole would have been huge interviews for "the breakfast club" n terms of ratings/credibility.

The point is..
- whoever did the deal structure between The Breakfast Club & revolt TV. Didn't think it out all the way, because if they did,
they're would have had a non-compete clause in the deal structure.
Disallowing scenario like the "Angie Martinez Show", "revolt TV" collab to arise. Who( Angie Martinez ) n my opinion is benefitin from an audience on revolt TV already created by The Breakfast Club.

 .... I saw a big potential with the "Breakfast Club's Brand" -
feeling they were the radio voice/Howard Stern of the WorldStarHipHop generation.
But being forced, to be more politically correct
2 compete with Angie Martinez.
have now become marginalized
thus destroying a promising brand
(The Breakfast Club) .

That one day
I will find my someone, and they will realize that I am
a hurricane.

That they will step back and be intimidated
by my muchness."

a whole new world of human potential

It's interesting:
The book of Genesis is all about high levels of human potential.
All the way from - Adam naming all of creation,
to the generation of Noah destroying the world,
the generation of Babel trying to create a new order for the universe,
Yosef creating a new dream for all of humanity .
Then we reach the book of Exodus...
which is all about the generation descending from Avraham (Israelites) being completely binded,
in a state of mental slavery. The Israelites perceive themselves as having no power, powerless, slaves 2 mans will, no relationship with God.
Arguably, the exodus from Egypt is all about discovering one's purpose, realizing God's destiny for an individual, for a community, for all of humanity ..

What can we learn from this?

It's almost like our lives!
when we were kids
we had big dreams!
but as we get older, we forget...
The Torah is teaching us
if you're really lucky/chosen by Gd
You're blessed to have a series of life experiences
maybe through hardship
reminding you
inspiring you -
of what all of humanity is suppose to be in this lifetime!!!

"Book of Genesis = human potential
Book of Exodus = rediscovering human potential"

oMG I'm standing in front of God!

Exodus 14:3 - "Moses answered the people, Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again."

The question is?

Did the problems for the Israelites end after leaving Egypt, escaping the Egyptians?

No..
in fact, more challenges occurred for the Israelites to the point. When there was a food shortage the Israelites accused Moses & Aaron of trying to kill them saying; "If we had died by the LORD'S hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." Exdous 16:3

What can we learn from this?

The transformation process of the Israelites largely had to do with the realization that all conflicts existing n their reality... had 2 do wit their relationship with God/Relationship with Self .
Each of the 49days in the desert represented the removal of a portion of  an illusion/perception ... that mankind is not in complete control of it's destiny.
Arguably Mount Sinai was the full realization of mankind's control over the entire universe; through God's will/Mosha Tora ...

Just like in the TV show "Star Track" ppl had the ability to transport themselves to faraway destinations. The Kabbalistic sages say anytime a person takes full responsibility 4 their life - The individual transports themselves mentally to Mount Sinai; standing directly in front of God (wit no middle man)...

the world is not evil...

"Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. It’s the point at which, as we say in the language of the desert, one ‘dies of thirst just when the palm trees have appeared on the horizon."
