Love & Relationship Advice ~ 40hz Steinjah ~ Dub Chronicles ~ Dubmatix

Love and Relationship Advice

I certainly have none

None

I have loved and lost like everyone else

I have loved and gained tons as well

Love, is how you treat yourself

If you treat yourself with care and love, you inform others how you wish to be treated, even if they don’t love you

They will follow your lead and treat you with love based on your example/s

It is therefore easier to spot those who wish to dim your light with their abuse energy

We choose to go or stay in many of these relationships

Where we / I fall short, is where ego shows up

You hear angry men speak about women not measuring up and giving advice to GENERATIONS of youth they speak with. Most based in abuse behaviors

Women think of men as toxic and untrustworthy and dole out advice to the next young girl coming up, again all based in abusive behaviors

An impossible cycle to break

Relationship advice fills up blogs, magazine and news stands all over the globe doling out a bunch of words from humans who are total failures in relationships for HUGE profit

Folks who do not know love cannot teach you with word

Love is clear

I accept zero abuse

I do not believe that the “advice” we need is about how to ‘relationship’. I believe it is about each seeking the abuser within, accept its existence and be responsible for your / our behavior. If you have sentences that sound like, “that’s just how I am” or “I can’t control how you take the truth” or “you are constantly pulling my triggers” or “you are too sensitive” or any other of these responses, that is an unhealthy space

“Love” does not conquer all

Individual honor and integrity are also needed

SEINJAH ~ Jenn Stein

After years of promoting and curating events as 40hz productions, steinjah was looking for opportunities to better showcase the music she loved. Teamed up with partner Jon Spyne they soon created the 40hz sound system and immediately started touring forests and warehouses with their giant stack of speakers.

Once a proper sound was established the lure to control it was unstoppable and now steinjah can be found in the dj booth dropping bass heavy jams from reggae to hip hop and her joie de vivre attitude can be felt throughout her sets - a vibe not to be missed.

Teenage Depression ~ The Dub Chronicles

5/4/2021

Teen depression today

I have had the honor of friends reaching out and having me speak to their 14 year old boy. They believed his respect for me would somehow elevate him; and a one and one between us occurred

We were both uplifted

His elevation allowed mine to become even more enhanced

I’m fitter now because on top of a couple of pointers, I insisted he start working out. I caught a glimpse of him a few times since, and he is doing his thing. I stopped missing my workouts... lmaoooo

Little man was going through a situation wrought with the type of violence no child needs to be living with, nowhere to turn and no one to turn to, his depressive state was evident

This is only one example

Many teenagers today are facing this “crisis” of a pandemic

With everyone around them on heightened alert, raw terror and anger, no school, no sports, no gyms, our children / teenagers are being sand blasted with it all

They are not yet equipped with the living knowledge that humanity moves on to its next crisis. Or that their own 201,458th crises are still coming and what they currently lack is that knowledge

Sometimes, speak to your friend’s children or have uncle, auntie whomever, reason with a youth, whomever they feel a vibe with

Some of us will blame the government because they themselves have zero intentions of taking on the responsibility of their / our own children

We are all struggling

That’s the truth but we gotta let the youths know, we have made it through many struggles and this is another one and no matter where it ends up, we will be through this too... and another crisis is on the way

Help out our youths

The government?

Ok

This one is truly on you / me

I’m NEVER suggesting this fixes teen depression

I’m saying I have seen direct positive result based on direct contact, enough times of positive feedback, to not share such thoughts and hope others use it around millions of children... or just the one who is thinking of suicide

Help where you can

Gil Scott-Heron ~ Storm Music

Through the years, I have come to know that Gil Scott-Heron’s father, a Jamaican was the first black man to play for the Glasgow

Celtic in Scotland back in the 40s or 50s

So during his jazzy, bluesy, funky, hip hop life, he had to touch a reggae tune

He called it “Storm Music”, saying there was no music like it in the whole wide world

This funk, jazz hip hop innovator

Listening to this song, you know exactly what he means

There is a reggae language and then there is an every other language

Introduce your children to Gil Scott-Heron

Music industry realities for Reggae music ~ Neto Yuth

Music industry realities for reggae music, Canada and globally

First and foremost, I am a fan of music

Music

Every single genre has a song or two or ten or ten thousand songs that I like

Music is a spiritually floating energy that binds, connects, releases a oneness within the souls of all who feel it

Not everyone can feel it

We must stop having those who make the rules, who do not feel it, to refrain from making decisions on the path of music to me... to you

The construct is set

Everything can be eventually weaponized against the sheeple

The “music industry” weaponized themselves with the use of profit control

{Sam Cooke, really look up his story}

We all have had to learn the hard way

Weaponized so that they maintain the most profit possible, some 99.9999125% by paying artists almost zero for MILLIONS of streams

Not an experience that we haven’t all lived and MUCH more scenarios and other experiences

I used to scream and yell like everyone and stay angry about a situation that was futile

“They” own the music

Or so they would like us to feel

It is how I once felt which is why I said it was futile

Then I thought of the art

The feel

The spirit connect

Why do you make art?

To express a spiritual conversation

Spirit cannot be controlled

Spirit creates its own space

The construct rules the game today and has ruled it from the beginning

Having gained this experience as a fan, promoter, dancer, a human, marketing director at an indie label (Alchemy Records), I, like spirit, must be flowing energy, without limit, creating a path to making positive changes in our own space

The construct still rules the game and will continue to squeeze tighter

Spirit cannot be controlled

I see a path here in Canada to create a unique vibe, bringing a reggae spirit to the people

Reggae is a natural spiritual bond

Those who feel it know it

We need a path that we create for self

Stay in my lane

Walk in the reggae lane

Our own path.... within the construct

Canada has a great reggae culture but not an industry

The “change” we seek is ours to make

Neto Yuth

In promoting this newsletter, I asked fans, artists and friends to mention an artist who they would love to share with my reggae community, as a point of interest

An artist, First Lady, Tonya P suggested Neto Yuth

Perfect

I have been watching him for a time now and felt that he and I should reason anyway

Canadian Reggae World needed to know this artist who seems to only be putting out conscious music, lyrics, vision, from what I gather when I listen to his work

We met up for a half hour conversation that turned into three hours and we still haven’t scratched the surface of more conversation

It is pleasant and a blessing to meet an artist / performer, whose lyics in his songs match the personality you are talking to

He mentioned that RasTafari found him first and then reggae music morphed within his transition

It is abundantly clear when reasoning with him

Montreal, Jamaica, Toronto is this RasTafari lion

Below is about an hour of his works that I have been listening to

Meet Neto Yuth

Dj Khaled, Buju, Capleton, Bounty, Barrington

Mascot leader says that foreigners are “hijacking” the music of Jamaica

Mascot fe gwey

Mascot speaks of the dancehall escalating violence in the country yet for me, the level of corruption the mascot and others are a part of, is truly the reason for the abuse to Jamaican citizens

This song feels strong and powerful towards blazing out the corruption

The Mascot does not speak of the positive imagery, lyrics and messages that come from this specific song

Reggae is NOT ruled by the prime minister or the government of Jamaica

It is a global entity ruled by reggae music

As Bob rightly points out, “this music will never die... it will find its own soldiers”

Mascot is not one of the righteous reggae warriors that we need
