"THE TENTH OVERSTANDING
THE SPIRIT OF GRAFFITI ART

They call themselves ‘writers’ because that’s what they do: They write their names, among other things, everywhere! Names they’ve been given or have chosen for themselves. Most of all, they write in and on subway trains that carry their names from one end of the city to the other. It’s called bombing, and it has equally assertive counterparts in Rap music and break dancing. Graffiti writing in New York is a vocation. Its traditions are handed down from one youthful generation to the next. To some it’s art; to most people, however, it is a plague that never ends, a symbol that we’ve lost control. (Style Wars, 1983)

Know this: the Overstanding before you is an elementary introduction to the study of Graffiti Art as color and light and how these frequencies affect the psychology of Hiphoppas living in urban areas. As an Overstanding, it teaches spiritual Truths through the language of Graffiti Art. Traditionally, the word Graffiti originated from the Italian term graffito meaning a scratch. According to the American language, Graffiti is defined as a “writing” or “drawing” that is “scribbled,” “scratched” or “sprayed” onto a surface."

For courage in expression and safe, inclusive communities, we study materials centering emergent creative modalities and the practices and traditions that write wisdom into our bodies —- especially where communities are finding themselves, building solutions, and growing strengths.
As we gather success and joyfulness around our experiences of studying together, honoring each source of crucial knowledge and energy, we co-create what is most necessary and revitalizing for relationships and spaces we steward, support, and appreciate.
This Temple is a non-local connection point for all whose communities crucially benefit from The Original Temple Of HIP HOP, especially where violence has prevented connectivity and where we can restore it together by bravely building survivor-centered infrastructure.
One day, TOHH may like to own this named space on Telegram —- if they do, we have a plan to transition them here so that they can begin fresh in a space that's been kept available for them. Meanwhile, we create access to this space for all our community members who have no other way of reaching TOHH.
Our gratitude to broadcasts from The Temple Of Hip Hop, KRS-ONE, G Simone, Sun-One, Zin Uru, and others across the cosmos who have been moving amplified signals of Hip Hop nourishment into the world. To follow and support the nutrient streams of The Temple Of Hip Hop where they originate, we highly recommend https://thetempleofhiphop.org and https://youtube.com/channel/UCiHUDd2py5sYt1h8e2yBBHw.
When we protect and preserve this space as part of our network, we are holding a light for Hiphoppas to find one another even in the places where KRS' work has not yet been able to reach. We honor these origins of language and creative process by centering and broadening them in the hearts of those they have touched.
Our gratitude to Intuitive Invisibles, severely disabled survivors of human trafficking and invisible violence, and all those in survivors' communities who have continued to develop life-saving infrastructure through continuous torture and death while having been prevented from these languages and studies —- who now can at least reach us and this. Together, resources expanding, we are resonating.

You might ask why would corporate investors intentionally create music that degrades culture and encourages young men and women to engage in illegal activity? Who owns interscope: General electric. Guess where they invest heavily: private prisons.....
Same kind of predatory behavior we see from pharmaceutical companies, investing in areas that fund their other ventures.

"Sometimes it's best just to let 'God BE the DJ' (DJED) because we cannot understand how the dots of our life connect until we can see it all in the retrospect. "

Do you sometimes feel like you don't fit into any societal/peer categorization 'Boxes' 📦 ?
I had a funny experience this week. My analytics page keeps only showing me the exact same post picture (it's some kind of glitch on IG). But the message was pretty clear about thinking outside the Box 📦.
It's seems that magic happens in our life when we venture outside of the Boxes that we and others hold as expectations of ourselves and our life path.
Sometimes it's best just to let 'God BE the DJ' (DJED) because we cannot understand how the dots of our life connect until we can see it all in the retrospect.
When we surrender to this, our judgements of life and our circumstance fall to the wayside and we no longer live in either the past or the future but rather in the NOW.
We realize that life is truly beautiful and interconnected. That everything suddenly has meaning.
Be patient and trust the Universe knows what it's doing for your highest benefit and follow your heart.
