This 1st issue is especially special because it's the beginning of a diabolical civilization transforming experiment, and yes, you're a part of it. Just by reading this far, you're a part of something we all at Studio 39 are coming to terms with. This month we highlight two incredible women with our featured articles from Saima Yousuf and Dayan Silva. Dayan explores the realm of "Breathing" and Saima discusses our current state of affairs on Earth in her terric article "Must Unlearn What You Have Learned."

Breath

I ate a toast with some ganja butter spread and left the house at about 11 AM. Suddenly my thoughts got so soft they felt like I was meditating. I started walking and observing people on 5th avenue and decided to walk in a straight line to see how many people would move out of the way. How many would let me go, or how many people would be so distracted they wouldn't even notice I was in the way

I started breathing the way my friend Sid had suggested last night. So I inhaled deeply, holding the breath in for about 5 seconds and then exhaled. I repeated this exercise throughout my walk. I started observing the many people outside of the big buildings; most of them wearing suits and "professional" attire, they were smoking, and it felt as if they were very peaceful while at the same time - they were poisoning their lungs. Here is what I realized, the reason why they smoke. As I was practicing the breathing exercise I realized how peaceful I felt - how much I understood about the simplicity of life - how much I understood the reason why we must live in harmony with nature and respect the main source of our oxygen, what keeps us breathing and alive. I understood the main reason for smoking: when you smoke you get to breathe in a nice pace of time and you are conscious of the rhythm of your breath. I was so sad to know that all these people are just looking for peace but they have been given the wrong message and the wrong tools. This is why, I believe, we need to incorporate a breathing class in all curriculums: children should learn the importance of breathing before learning to write or read, high schools and colleges should have peaceful quiet places that students can breathe under greenery, companies should provide breathing seminars for stress management...

"we must keep on breathing, learning and understanding the messages that the wind brings in it for us, listen to the beat of understanding life " dayan silva >.<

As a visiting extraterrestrial organism from dimension 7-S, I was lucky to observe the interstellar happenings at Studio 39 in New York City. I have become numb to the mundanity of earth's corporate-owned art, and I have found the universal artistic bliss at Awaken Mother Wolf. Artists such as Sid Art Meta and David Graham tore my earthly reality into pieces and popped my previously ignorant cherry of a consciousness. Boy Gaga, a wonderful creature, had me singing "Tornado Dance" while I spindazzled into a trance from the 3-D mapping of Dominati. The rest of the crew <IRS, Punit, and Yonnas> were fascinating as well, as they reminded me of the reptilian sapiens I met in the X^2 Galaxy ahead of the Milky Way. Other artists were like candies to the head, I just wanted to absorb all their creative goodness. I wonder when the rest of the earthly creatures will awaken. Ending the observatory T-1 report, this is Chumstarr signing out. Zoop.

Must Unlearn What You Have Learned

by SAIMA YOUSUF

shift is upon us. If you are one of those who has not felt the birth pangs of our rapidly approaching paradigm, I urge you to look within, and seriously ask yourself, What is it all for?
A great As I observe the talking heads on TV maligning this shift in our consciousness, I cant help but ponder the reason that it has flown over their heads: they have lost touch with their hearts. Even with the information technology advancements (via the Internet) at their fingertips, people still misunderstand the likes of the . It is something much bigger than an opposition to corporate power and modern finance. It's a platform for humanity to go on strike, to express how satiated it is, with not just Wall Street, but all greed and excess. Its a visceral pole shift of our society, turning away from the shallow materialistic abyss of phoniness, short-term calculation, lost idealism and collective bankruptcy that our mass society has accepted as norm. At its intrinsic level, the movement is so utterly simple, yet so broad and fulfilling in scope, so inclusive, not exclusive (which can be sold), that the status quo feels quite threatened by it. This is quite evident, just turn on , and the inner hostility of the establishment courses through the veins of the commercially controlled "free" press. The media wasted no time in ridiculing the movement, casting the Occupy movement as a bunch of dirty hippies who should get a job and stop wasting police budgets. Just like they did a half-century ago, when the debate over the Vietnam War somehow stopped being about why we were brutally of innocent Indochinese civilians, and instead became a crusade against cannabis, brainlessness, and long hair. These same journalists have acquitted a generation of fraud, corruption, and market-perverting bailouts, while manufacturing the whole debate about the protesters themselves their hygiene, their unemployment due to laziness". You ask, Why? Well, any great Marketing or Advertisement Executive can tell you that our Capitalist society runs on a . The status quo which encompasses the political, industrial and economic structure of our society must have the citizens maintain this medicating fix of materialism in order to keep their industrial complex running. We are bombarded by , in pursuit of growth - the relentless draining chase for money, money and more money. Each tick of the clock has to keep that everrevolving door of fashion, gadgets, etc., spinning; vendors dreaming up some new way to try to give the junkies their fix. We, the junkies, use this fix to mask a void in our hearts, a void which is a of the egos wants and desires. The corporate giants know this, and they use this information to continuously expand their economic growth. However, no growth can continue forever, not even our mighty economy. The wonderful prosperity of yesterday has become the empty consumerism of tomorrow. Alas, there is only one thing that will fill this void in our hearts completely and eternally, of being. To recognize this, the true nature of things, is to stop the pursuit of an illusion for the rest of our lives, and awaken to the Truth. This does not mean you no longer appreciate beautiful things or conditions, on the, you feel them ever more deeply. At the same time, you realize the futility of seeking

Think about it, if people became enlightened and no longer sought to find their identity through , the whole advertising industry and consumer society would collapse. This realization, that nothing out there will ever satisfy you except temporarily and superficially, is utter freedom from the bondage of the old paradigm. However, the establishment (think George Bush right after 9/11...

lifestyle, religious or political affiliation, or any other ego driven identity simply so you do not get the coming shift in consciousness. The realization, that we are not defined by things and status, but that we are timeless, limitless, beautiful spirits that are here to love, foster and evolve into a collective consciousness means death to the status quo, and it will do anything in its power to destroy this collective ascension into our reality. It is as if this epic battle between good and evil is enfolding right before our very eyes... The status quo, the , is very seductive. It makes people judge and compete with each other through offerings of new cars, trendy fashions, latest phones and big mansions. It runs the show through fear, fear of loss of identity. The core processor of the Dark Side is the banking system; a huge heartless machine that attaches itself to every aspect of society - medical, education, military, agricultural and political. It controls the Empire, and tightly maintains the facade that life could be no other way. The

well, thousands of armed Storm Troopers have been deployed to monitor, terrorize, assault, and arrest the 99% (the Rebel Alliance). The irony is that this deployment of law-enforcement already dwarfs the amount of money and manpower that the Republic "committed" to fighting crime and corruption during the financial crisis. Yet, as even one rebel step into the wrong place, the minions rush in with tazers or pepper spray. All the while, looming high above, in the Imperial Star Destroyers of Wall Street, the ultimate power grab is being planned by the Dark Side of the Force. It is evident who law enforcement works for in this country. There was an unprecedented crime wave on Wall Street by an unaccountable oligarchy in Lower Manhattan this past decade, but hardly any arrests. However, when thousands of average Americans demonstrate this injustice

do their bidding. Nevertheless, the arising marks an end to this cycle of lies, greed, and lust for the power of an insatiable ego. How, you ask? More and more, people are to their addictions, because the fix is not working for them anymore. They say once you hit rock bottom, there is no where to go but up. I think the world is seeing rock bottom on so many different levels. These movements are a visceral cleansing of that old system. A cleansing of the collective psyche that ushers in a regenerative culture. A culture where collaboration replaces competition, erasing the sterile materialism that has wrecked havoc upon Gaia and its inhabitants. Here, human beings will work together with mutual respect, beyond auctioned "democracy," tyrannical industry and the bottom line. A wise mystic once said, Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. But the solution was also given by , And worry you should not, for my ally is the Force! And a powerful ally it is! Life breeds it, makes it grow... Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter! You must FEEL the Force around you. You! Between you, me, the tree, the rock... everywhere! The solution to end this destructive cycle and bring about a new paradigm cannot be understood by the mind, it can only be felt

resides. The solution, my friends, is so simple. The solution is . Love is the Force that binds us. Love endures, even after matter has decayed, as we are luminous essential beings that live on eternally. The moment we truly realize this truth, a . Life is a force flowing through us. Where we direct our attention, is where our life flows. Every moment is an opportunity to direct our attention to ideas that inspire us. Every day brings the promise of a new beginning, and the opportunity to transform every life challenge into a gift.
