QoS, very true. We need that energy. I'm not a celebratory person myself, but I enjoy seeing people celebrating. I've known people who have completely transformed from one visit to a carnival either in Trinidad, Jamaica, New Orleans Venice,or even the smaller ones that take place in Brooklyn Ny, or Miami. It's just something about Black melaninated energy under the Sun.
The jumping up technique raises the kundalini. You will noticed Boxers doing this before a fight. Africans do this to generate spirit ase energy. In dance it also calls up the Ancestors and spirits from the ground. So far, there is no other ritual on this planet that souls are born just to participate in besides these cultural and ceremonial customs.
In fact, spirits attend them. For a period- all spirits want to do is, drink some rum- alcohol, smoke, touch the flesh and eat. These African customs also help to maintain "peace" with the spiritual Government of souls that live in the Earth and sky.
Carnival celebrations actually started out as a cultural potluck. Come as what you are. The true concept of this unfortunately is lost in the overall American mindset. Amazingly there are White folks that have gone to Venice, New Orleans or even Trinidad and Africa for their carnivals and have never left. Finding a cure for a disease they didn't realize they had, which is in the mind.
You see, these carnivals have a psychological purpose as well, which is why people wait around all year for them. In what other place and in what other time could you walk around half naked, playing around, eating, dancing and having a good time? Showing off your soul self? When you were a child. That is the key.
This is experience is very therapeutic for most people. In fact, for all people. These rituals and ceremonies where designed for this as well. Again we are taking about killing the negative mind, renewing the spirit, renewing the ase energy. I listened to an interview online once with a Bro who designs some of the costumes for some of these carnivals every year. He was a top designer. And they asked him how was he able to come up with all the different and unique designs each and every year.
He said the Ancestral spirits speak to him, he could close his eyes and see the designs. His words inspired me as an Artist, helping me to understand how the 3rd eye helps to bring spiritual creations into fruition.
Allot of the masks, costumes we see during these festivals are created by 3rd eye designers. And we gravitate towards those designs because they bring out a soulful aspect in ourselves. I'm not sure what is the highest honor. Designing a spiritual outfit, or wearing one?
At what other time are our Women "allowed" be seen as Queens in the street? Isn't this therapy? Wouldn't this help to kill of the negative images of ourselves? A yearly reminder of who and what we really are?
One thing we know for sure, Black folks will organize for a good party. I think most of us in America have missed this strong point. Yet even our "parties" are created for a negative intent at times, if they are done to help our minds new and refresh- then perhaps this is indeed a perfect weapon against our own inner enemy. Ourselves.
