Pied Piper Effect

Pied Piper Effect

This publication is intended for the Elder's of any community, educators, the young and old. More specifically, those individuals who are presently encountering difficulty in their transformational process in making productive career decisions, as well as, those who have reached the final stage of adolescence, in their quest for psycho-social development. The greatest experience that an individual can have is being empowered with knowledge of self, i.e., cultural awareness, which emanates into self-pride and confidence in one's ability to achieve success in all of their endeavors in life. Culture becomes the vessel that propels the individual into action in a conscious state of existence. Once bought into this state of consciousness, one is enabled to make proactive decisions in their lives, no longer allowing the media, environmental conditions, and others to become enablers for them. Each chapter represents different phases of mentally transforming instructive messages, thus, initiating a new way of listening, contemplating and reacting to the conditions of the Pied Piper. The order and arrangement of this book is a governing line of thought, all of which corresponds to the Pharonic mentality. As one synthesis the information of each proceeding chapters it embark the reader on a journey of self-exploration. This book heightens the individual's ability to convert words of power, into inner strength and spiritual ascendancy. This book is not to be read like a novel, but explored chapter by chapter as a mean of grasping the intricate nature of the subject matter. Also, it is an excellent introductory examination of the various facets involved in the Pied Piper Effect and the impact that music has on society as a whole. As my Grandmother use to say, "If You Dance To The Music, You Have To Pay The Piper." Pied Piper Effect By Kenneth "Shujaa" Rice AuthorHouse Copyright © 2009 Kenneth "Shujaa" Rice All right reserved.

They played the songs, which we have known so well. The harmony of the music told such a wonderful tale. They understood the nature of what music could do. History has shown us that some legends can somehow come true. The power of the mind can control the soul, of the very young, and even the old. Once the mind has been conquered, the actions of body will simultaneously dance, to the rhythm and beat of the Pied Piper Effect. There was this place that came into existence from old, past, present and future that inbreeds a new and indifferent soul. Those who know the name and the location of the place were shamed and were caused to fall from grace, and were too disgusted to give the name of this place. Well known too many with exception to few, it was the Alpha and Omega the City of Blue. If one could image such eloquence and grace being a location that was unlike any other place.
