John Lennon Sings From the Afterlife: Gone? Think Again.

-
HAVING BEEN AN EVP TECHNICIAN FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW who absolutely loves her work, to me every voice I hear is amazing; But John Lennon always delights, surprises and, periodically, rattles my cage (Not a problem. I grew up with a father who is a dedicated purveyor of sarcasm- consequently I find it charming). Recalling the occasions I've encountered him during the course of my techno-mediumship, it has become more and more apparent that John remains a voice for transformation- for spiritual evolution, concerning those on the physical plane. His lyrics suggest a penchant to expand the collective human consciousness in a very simple yet accessible way. Recording spirit folk, time and time again one theme stands head and shoulders above all others, (on the physical plane as well as beyond) the optimum existence experience reflects "peace and love." Sound familiar? John knew it. John lived it...And he wears it like a garment still today. To be honest, I never understood the Beatles 'mystique.' According to the media in the late 1960's and 70's- "sex, drugs and rock and roll," seemed to be their pervading mantra. Upon recent reflection, I have a very different picture of singer/songwriter/activist Lennon. He really is the devoted humanitarian endowed with the curious, loving heart of a child (the quality media outlets worked to offset); And he is, as he once put it so eloquently, continuing to "Shine on. Like the moon and the stars and the sun."

(*Lens title reference: The day before John and friends came to record I'd "requested his presence." Immediately preceding the first line of the song he asserted, "By invitation ONLY, friend!"

Why should I study in china?

  https://www.istudy-china.com/      I think I’m pretty qualified to answer this one, because that’s what I did. I went to Beijing in 2008 to do a 4 year bachelor’s degree in “Chinese Language and Culture.” Or “Chinese business.” Or… Just “Chinese.” Depends who you ask. I have a few reasons that you SHOULDN’T do it, and a few reasons that you SHOULD. Whether or not you DO depends alot on your goals. Here goes: DON’T GET YOUR DEGREE IN CHINA Reason 1: The quality of education is a toss-up. My university initially told me that I’d do 2 years of intensive language studies, then I’d pick a major, and I’d spend my latter two years studying with the Chinese students. How immersive! Yeah except that’s not what happened. I never got the opportunity to select a major, I just had 4 years of language study. We never had any classes with Chinese students, and we were actually discouraged from interacting with them for reasons unclear. Reason 2: It might not work outside of China. When I relocated

John Lennon John Lennon was the Beatles' most committed rock & roller, their social conscience, and their slyest verbal wit. After the group's breakup, he and his second wife, Yoko Ono, carried on intertwined solo careers. Ono's early albums presaged the elastic, screechy vocal style of late-'70s new wavers like the B-52's and Lene Lovich. L7 and Babes in Toyland have also been influenced by and benefited from Ono's attitudinal, emotionally trailblazing work. Lennon strove to break taboos and to be ruthlessly, publicly honest. When he was murdered on December 8, 1980, he and Ono seemed on the verge of a new, more optimistic phase.
