  This book primarily focuses on freestyle as it applies to rap. But the principles in & of themselves are universal I believe. Often after we master or even become proficient at a skill. We apply it without thinking, we “freestyle it”. These are my opinions. I’ve been freestyling professionally for 10 years, been featured on news outlets & in documentaries. This is a brief reflection on some things I’ve noticed, and what I’ve gleaned learning from others. You may find the path to your goals a different way, nothing here is concrete take what works for you. Thanks for considering what is written here :)

  These essays are for the devotees of the Lord, for my spiritual master and His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.  
  According to the Vedic tradition a word which does not glorify the Absolute Truth is like a place of pilgrimage for crows, but words that describe the glories of the unlimited Lord are praiseworthy, even though imperfectly composed. 
  I have to admit my struggles in this human form of life, but by the mercy of the Vaishnavas, Guru & Gauranga, I could taste a little nectar of spiritual life. For the pleasure of the parampara, I am writing my realisations, to please thee. 
  “By writing according to our realization we become more and more convinced and all doubts are destroyed.” 
  (Letter to Pusta Kṛṣṇa) 
  Over the last ten years writing about traveling to holy places and experiencing an inner revolution of the heart by associating with saintly persons, writing helped to shape and support this inner transformation. 
  “May Krishna bless you to improve more and more in writing the glories of our previous acaryas and the Lord. Be engaged in glorifying the parampara system and your life will be glorified automatically thousands of times.” (Letter to Acyutananda) 
  For the pleasure of my Guru I'd like to address difficult topics concerning the chanting of the Holy Name of the Lord, controlling the mind & senses, as well as spreading this matchless gift of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, to help the coming generations to learn from mistakes and challenges.

  The Qing Dynasty - The Last...

  The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China, was established in 1644 by the Manchu people, an ethnic group from the northeast of China. The rise of the Qing Dynasty was a result of a combination of military conquest, strategic alliances, and a deep understanding of Chinese traditions. The Manchus, initially a small tribe in what is today known as Manchuria, were able to capitalize on the weakening Ming Dynasty and internal strife within China. This chapter will explore how the Manchu rulers successfully expanded their power and established one of the longest and most influential dynasties in Chinese history. 
  The Manchu people, led by the ambitious and skilled leader Nurhaci, had been unified under his banner in the early 17th century. Nurhaci’s military campaigns in Manchuria helped create a strong foundation for what would later become the Qing Dynasty. After his death in 1626, his son, Hong Taiji, continued to build on his father’s legacy, consolidating power and forming alliances with various Chinese factions. Hong Taiji's strategic foresight helped prepare the Manchus for a successful invasion of China. In 1636, he formally declared the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, marking the official beginning of their imperial rule. 
  By the early 1640s, the Ming Dynasty was in a state of disarray. The empire was plagued by corruption, peasant uprisings, and economic instability. The most notable rebellion was the Li Zicheng-led peasant revolt, which culminated in the fall of the Ming capital, Beijing, in 1644. In this moment of vulnerability, the Manchus, under the leadership of Emperor Shunzhi, seized the opportunity to invade China. The Qing forces entered Beijing and effectively replaced the fallen Ming dynasty, marking the beginning of the Qing rule over China.

  NO RULES. NO PROBLEM. 
   
   
   
  Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera? 
   
   
   
  For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee's real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over thirty years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over thirty witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world. 
   
   
   
  From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the "Little Dragon," who may well have been the greatest fighter of the twentieth century.

  Necessary Death - What Horror...

  Based on very real and practical commentary, life experience, and occasionally, tongue-in-cheek-misfortunes of horror legends, Necessary Death explores how the horror genre offers individuals a unique opportunity for insight and understanding of their own lives. 
   
   
   
  Using some of the most quintessential movies in the genre, Chris Grosso and Preston Fassel invite listeners to an in-depth examination of the human condition—its fears, anxieties, hopes, joys, sorrows, and everything in-between—and how it's all grist for our personal and collective evolutionary mill. A hallmark of the genre is how horror films force their characters to find some semblance of inner strength and wherewithal in order to stand up to the monster, ghost, or villain that is trying to take their lives. Through fascinating discussion of this and other elements, Fassel and Grosso relate these films' dark subject matter and characters to real world issues people face every day. This sharp analysis is complemented by exercises that prompt listeners to consider gratitude, forgiveness, determination, and bravery in the face of adversity. 
   
   
   
  An unusual mix of film study and self-help, Necessary Death might surprise or even shock listeners, but it will also enlighten, educate, and most importantly hearten those looking for an unexpected source of inspiration.

  Popcorn with the Pope - A Guide...

  In 1995—one hundred years after the birth of cinema in Paris—a Vatican-appointed commission compiled a list of forty-five significant films. The entries vary widely, ranging from light-hearted favorites like The Wizard of Oz to challenging arthouse features such as The Seventh Seal.  This list, released under Pope St. John Paul II, was an important milestone in the dialogue between the Church and the wider culture. Yet for many Catholics and cinephiles alike, it remains undiscovered or unclear. What was the list for? And why did the commission choose these particular titles? In this groundbreaking study, David Paul Baird, Andrew Petiprin, and Michael Ward walk readers through the entire Vatican List, film by film. The authors show that its aim was not to serve as a “best-ever” register, nor as an anthology of approved works; rather, it was to guide people in an appreciation of cinema as an artistic language and a bearer of spiritual and moral messages. In addition to theologically and historically informed commentary, each chapter includes film stills, quotations, fun facts, and questions for further reflection and discussion. Elevated yet entertaining, Popcorn with the Pope is perfect for anyone interested in delving deeper into a Christian approach to movies.
