A very interesting mythological story about whales and dolphins concerns a tribe in west A
A very interesting mythological story about whales and dolphins concerns a tribe in west Africa called the Dogon of Mali. The Dogon, whose culture is alive and well today, at one time lived on the southern coast of the Mediterranean. They have many religious and creation beliefs which very much involve the whales and dolphins. They have perpetuated these beliefs in their religious ceremonies and in the form of sand drawings.
In their basket weavings they had 50.8 divisions, the reason for which is that they had quite specific knowledge of the Sirius star system which is a binary star system. They understood how Sirius B, the white dwarf, moved around the main bright star Sirius A. They used sand drawings to illustrate the orbital paths of the stars. The white dwarf Sirius B takes 50.8 years to complete an orbit of Sirius A. The Dogon knew this.
In the 1950's a British astronomer named Robert Temple was traveling on a plane across the Atlantic. Sitting beside him was Arthur C. Clark. Robert Temple began to tell Arthur C. Clark about the new knowledge of the Sirius star system provided by the advancing technology of radio astronomy.
Sirius B, the white dwarf, is not visible using a telescope whereas radio astronomy allows one to hear Sirius B.
Arthur C. Clark simply said to Temple, "You would be interested in the Dogon." Richard Temple began research on the Dogon and discovered how much knowledge the Dogon had of the Sirius Star System. He then went on to spend seven years of his life with the Dogon and wrote a book called 'The Sirius Mystery'.
When Temple went to meet the Dogon he asked, "How did you get this knowledge?" The Dogon's answer was very simple. They said, "These creatures came from the star Sirius landed in the ocean and were in the form of amphibians, whales and dolphins. They gave us the knowledge about the Sirius star system."
Then Temple asked, "What else did they tell you?" The Dogon replied, "They told us the story of life on Earth." And their story of life on Earth was as follows: There are three energies on the Planet Earth, Nomo, Onomo and Ogo the unfinished species. Nomo the small whales or dolphins would be the messengers, announcing the time of the sacrifice. Onomo, the great whales, the masters of the water, would be sacrificed for the purification and the re-organisation of the planet, allowing completion. That was their story.
Only Sirius A is visible to the human eye. It is in fact the brightest star in the sky. Sirius B is known to us only through listening carefully with a radio telescope. We listen for stars!
The galaxy, the universe & Canis Major is to imagine why! And as humans our imagination is infinite! So let us imagine further. Even as scientists we do have an infinite imagination. Do we not? We are limited only by our desire to imagine further!
We kindly thank Mr. R. Carlos Nakai for allowing us to add his Native American Cedar Flute to this film:

Um show da domadora e da égua. Simplesmente incrível a interação entre a amazona e o animal. O mais importante desse espectáculo é que em nenhum momento o animal é agredido ou machucado.Existe um grande amor e respeito da amazona pelo animal...
Fica demonstrado que os animais entendem a linguagem do Amor....Não é preciso golpes e mal tratos...
Não participe de rodeios.Não seja parte da crueldade contra os animais....

Não é possível que você suporte a barra
De olhar nos olhos do que morre em suas mãos
E ver no mar se debater o sofrimento
E até sentir-se um vencedor nesse momento
Não é possível que no fundo do seu peito
Seu coração não tenha lágrimas guardadas
Pra derramar sobre o vermelho derramado
No azul das águas que você deixou manchadas
Seus netos vão te perguntar em poucos anos
Pelas baleias que cruzavam oceanos
Que eles viram em velhos livros
Ou nos filmes dos arquivos
Dos programas vespertinos de televisão
O gosto amargo do silêncio em sua boca
Vai te levar de volta ao mar e a fúria louca
De uma cauda exposta aos ventos
Em seus últimos momentos
Relembrada num troféu em forma de arpão
Como é possível que você tenha coragem
De não deixar nascer a vida que se faz
Em outra vida que sem ter lugar seguro
Te pede a chance de existência no futuro
Mudar seu rumo e procurar seus sentimentos
Vai te fazer um verdadeiro vencedor
Ainda é tempo de ouvir a voz dos ventos
Numa canção que fala muito mais de amor
Não é possível que você suporte a barra

Canción escrita e interpretada por JAF. El final que te va a conmocionar. Es una cruda lectura sobre nuestra conducta destructiva y los efectos del "Calentamiento Global". Por el tiempo en que Juan escribió esto, el Calentamiento Global no formaba parte del contenido de ningún medio de información... ni de niguna conversación. Quizá JAF tampoco estaba conciente de esto, pero evidentemente, alguna parte de él sí lo estaba. El video está subtitulado en inglés.
The Fourth Tempest. Song written and interpreted by JAF. It is a crude reading on our destructive conduct. This video is subtitled in English.

LYRICS:
I got this little kitty about 2 months back
he was the nicest little kitty, now a pain in my crack
This little kitty is a ninja, always stalking my feet
This little kitty is a warrior you know what I mean
he's an evil little kitty look what he did to my hand
tries to get in trouble in any way that he can
I could give this cat a toy, but he'd rather have the wrapper
and I will always give him water, but he still drinks from the crapper
You could lock him in a closet and he just won't care
kitty chews on my shoes and he licks my hair
always scratching on my favorite chair and jumping on the couch
playing in the window sills and tearing through the house
He's so full of energy and easily amused
kitty will attack anything that moves
Causing trouble, starting battles just so he could be a little part of
he's a meanest little kitty so we named him sparta
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite
Where'd you go
are you stalking me?
are you under the couch, quite possibly
ears laid back so you don't get caught
ready to pounce my leg with everything that you got
I know you're probably watching me from across the room
concentrating contemplating on attacking me soon
You're not invisible kitty, I'm gonna find you first
Come out come out before I make things worse
I've seen where you hide and I know where you've been
Hey kitty why don't you give in
Even if you try to sneak up on me, I'm prepared
Cause I've got my safety gear on and I'm not scared
I think I hear a kitty cat under the bed
I know your making noises just to mess with my head
You can stalk me all you want, but I'm not your pray
cause you always seem to find me first, but not today
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
Come on out, I'm gonna get you now
I've got 'em cornered
and now he's mine
He's not gonna get away this time
I'll snatch him up fast before he can blink and then...
Aw man! He's asleep in the sink
What is with this cat? I'm confused
He's got a bed, but it's never been used
In every waking moment, kitty's out for the fight
then [fart] next minute kitty's out like a light
How could I let this creature live inside of my home
I gotta keep an eye on him when I'm on the phone
I'm a little afraid to leave this cat all alone
this kitty may destroy everything that I own
Look at him now, I kinda feel bad
He's the best little cat that I've had
and the one big thing I forgot to mention, was that
He wasn't fighting, he just wanted attention
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
showing love, that's all this kitty does
BEHIND THE SCENES
If you have a cat, I'm sure you can relate, lol. I originally wrote the song because I didn't want to do a simple talking blog about my Sparta's little biting problem and I also wanted to show my friends back home in Turlock what my new place in Thousand Oaks looks like.. BTW, trying to get a cat to perform for a music video... nearly impossible! lol Thanks for watching : )
