The Journey



"Face your fears, or they will devour your essence, like a monkey unto an atom in an ocean of turmoil". This is what the great Zin Chow Wazemi placed in the mind of the young Jamin on his recent trip to Temple, where he sought enlightenment of the body, mind and soul - and the ability to overcome his infamous fear of flying.


The fear was beginning to have an effect on other band members, as it meant the band could not fly and had to endure gruelling bus and boat journeys, many times travelling at night to avoid the treacherous sun of the middle east and the bandits who would often hi-jack buses during the daylight hours.


While at Temple, Jamin learned the art of the Mantra Song. The great Wazemi said....."young Jamin, choose a song, a song you remember from your youth, a song which is reflective, and is not afraid to deal with the issues of these topics. Then Jamin, after choosing the song, you must sing the song over and over, but remember, you must not focus on the actual melody of the song, forget about rhythm rhyme and reason and hand yourself over to the unknown. Only then will you be ready to fly........and truly understand.....both at the same time.


I think we can all see the success of Master Wazemi's teachings from the above video.


Thank you Master W. (wazemi)
