I am Shaftalight, son of Mindalight, I was born in the states, but I'm from the Congo. I was born a human but I'm from the ocean. I was born an Earthling, but I'm from the stars. I and I are rich notes in the symphony of the universe, let's harmonize. Grateful for your presence, it is a pleasure to be reunited with you, my beautiful reflection you are. NAMASTE Check out two homemade music videos by Shaftalight, the second about global unity, the first about it's opponents...
Check out this message of global unity! Global Anthem, the song that resonates in the hearts of those who have eyes to see that we ARE ALL ONE, all life on Earth are physical manifestations of the eternal lifire, hence many many branches, one deeply profound root

Proud Member, RAW 1932!
Music is the weapon of the future and I am loading my guns with cosmic chords and mundane words like wabi sabi or turbines and birds, dig? dig.
I would like to meet the self behind the mask, oh what an arduous task, oh 'but how so?' you ask, drinking from a brilliant flask. Heh? Jus dig.

You should subscribe or read Lanie's blogs. She takes her research a step in a different direction than Joe's. I think you would enjoy them. Hope all is well. :)
well i downloaded your music and made my dad listen to it.. i think you have a new fan, too bad he doesn't myspace. spread it! brother b! we are listening and maybe even a twinge of a twinkle hears it! carry on.. i am still on earth, i'll let you know when i execute the escape clause..
As I sat at the Albina Green eating lunch the other day, I watched your uncle paint a local business window and it made me so very happy. It made the world seem much closer in ties that it sometimes feels. It was heartwarming. He was jammin' tunes out of his crazy art mini van ;) Miss you dude
Have just put up a new track on my profile for You to enjoy :) Its called "Sitar Falling" and is a nice relaxing kind of ambient fusion track for a change ,-)
"TighT" is also happy to have contributed the opening track for the newest "50 Full Moons" Psytrance Compilation wich can be downloaded for Free in full CD quality... just click on pic below.
Godfather B waz up bro?!! I am always down to share the musical vibrations with you. All you have to do is, keep me informed when you will be in town and I wil make sure to come play. Take care of you and yours bro.
yeah, it's kinda quiet round here and yeah, I kinda like it that way. i never even come here myself! it took frikkin ages to find this message from you!
and yeah, I've only got one friend. But, hey, he's the best friend to have. I don't need any more: Tom rocks. ;)
does shine exist in the myspace universe? how do i get to see the facebook page? i guess photos crop up there sometimes....
Thank you!! Just enjoying the summertime right now, looking for an engineering job that i will like and where i can work on sustainable energy use projects.. Bless!
Hello Captain Spreadthelove via music. Yes it was like two songs but actually connected quite solidly, if you knew Danger, my little lesbian friend you would unstand the abrubt shift in musical styles.
Hey, B! You know, I wish you didn't leave. Hey, guess what? You do know Edgar, right? From D.U.B.? Well, he gave me a Melodion! And then Joe, from the band, got me a Hohner Melodica from American Music! How cool is that! Thanks to you, I have the most unique instrument on Guam. Well, not for long though. I'm pretty sure other people will be interested in it. So now I have a black one and an aqua one, I guess.
So how are you? How is your son? I don't know his name but all I know is that it means sky. Well, hit me back! It would be so nice to hear from you! And come visit Guam!
Thanks for the blog comment, I appreciate the feedback. Your page is hep...or should I say hemp, ha ha ha! I always thought of you as a little mischeivious joker really, you are a pretty upbeat soul, congratulations on all your wonderful music, your awakenings and your continued spiritual escapades and adventures. From your sick Uncle Extremo...but sick in a good way I hope, ha ha ha! at least my puppets seem to think so.
