Some may be familiar with the man, Sun Ra. Quite the individual..... he is what the kids would call "woke," except, he's like... reeaaaallly far out for the general public. I think you guys would get a kick out of listening to him speak.
He made jazz music in the mid-late 1900s. Astral jazz. Space jazz. Cosmic.
Sun Ra was born Herman Poole Blount in 1914. In 1936, or 1937, he had a visionary experience in which he went to the planet Saturn and spoke to some entities:
After this experience, it was done. Sun Ra was born.
This experience clearly had a profound effect on the man. If you just listen, you'll understand (the interview parts are at :58, 2:20, 3:46, 7:05):
There's a couple good documentaries about him that really demonstrate who he was. I really like Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise. You could also check out his music, one of my favorite songs of his is called Imagination.
I could kind of sense a connection to Ra (obviously given the name,) but also because of his alleged visit to Saturn. Did he describe what the Council of Saturn looks like? Lol. I suppose we might never know.... just though i'd share something interesting today...
love to all, be well!

Quote:My whole body changed into something else. I could see through myself. And I went up... I wasn't in human form... I landed on a planet that I identified as Saturn... they teleported me and I was down on [a] stage with them. They wanted to talk with me. They had one little antenna on each ear. A little antenna over each eye. They talked to me. They told me to stop [attending college] because there was going to be great trouble in schools... the world was going into complete chaos... I would speak [through music], and the world would listen. That's what they told me."
After this experience, it was done. Sun Ra was born.
