  • its the light of the future that casts the shadows of tommorow.

  • this guy is the great uncle of current tampa bay buccaneers running back, lagarrette blount.

  • @GioCampana Is that really true?

  • I LOVE HIM!

  • All this talk today about "Space Bound (Eminem)" "Im a Martian! (Lil Wayne)" "E.T. (Katy Perry)" "Man on the Moon (Kid Cudi)" is BULLSHIT!

    BOW DOWN TO THE TRUE MASTER OF UNIVERSAL MUSIC, SUN RA!!!

  • Today is the shadow of tomorrow

  • LOL A BLACK GUY

  • WHERE IS THE REST

    I NEED TO SEE THE REST

    

  • This is not racist. He says " better still, teleport the WHOLE planet here through music."

  • according to a certain legend there was originally 4 races of human beings. White. Black, Asian, and Indian... the rest of the races is a mix of one or the other after time..... each race had a job to do... but they forgot what it was along the way after they learned what GREED was...

  • I'm black and i know that no single race is good. A world of one race would still end up with a world like this one. Rich,poor,happy,sad,good,bad,s­hort,tall,new born,death,pretty,ugly,godly and worldly people.

  • 100% Coherent to Me.

  • WOW! i never heard of this brotha.i watched a bobby hemmitt vid,and he mentioned sun ra.this video blew my mind.

  • I like Ra's work in general but find the opening statement's implication that white people are bad a bit offensive

  • @ZoltarSoulFunk then pherhaps he isnt for you! But he clearly is speaking the truth about white people look at their history all the way up to this date. Everywhere they have stepped foot has been war, theft of culture/people, rape, mass murder, castration,lynchings, ETC...I could go on all night but better yet ask the Native American, African Americans, Latins, Vietnamese, Koreans,Africans, ANYONE!

  • @MrBlackPalm Is Robert Mugabi white? Was Idi Amin white? Pol Pot? Kim Yong Il? Sure there is, and has been, terrible wrong dispensed by the hand of white folk. Plenty though, that has not. I understand that the actions of those relative few have tainted your opinion of the whole. There is a term for that - Racist.

  • @ZoltarSoulFunk Relative few? you sound like a damn fool 200 million blacks died in America and continue to this day systematically, Jim Crow wasnt outlawed until the 60's. Millionns of murders, rapings of women and children, lynching, castrations, human touchings so forth and you say relative FEW...There is one word I have for you that subtlety tries to deflect and downplay its relevance TODAY! Seems you more of a racist than you realized

  • Comment removed

  • @ZoltarSoulFunk The only person who is a fool is you!! I careless what you think is racists Caucasians  have done the most evil on the planet and continue to do so. So much so that they entire world has grown tired of them. So, Sun Ra had it right about them whereever they do not go there is peace but after they enter a place death and destruction follows!

  • @MrBlackPalm Your comments speak for themselves. I shall waste no more of my time on a narrow minded, ignorant racist such as yourself.

  • @ZoltarSoulFunk More than my comments proves the facts I have stated HISTORY speaks as a testament and anyone pointing out the facts isnt racist it is the perpetrators of evil against peoples because of their race that is evil and racist. So, of course you cant refute this ...SO...as again Sun Ra got it right about whites plain and simple.

  • @MrBlackPalm Ok for the last time. You ignorance abounds, I understand that whites have commited terrible acts, but you cherry pick the history that suits your racist agenda and ignore the tyrants that are NOT white.I do not judge an entire race based on the actions of one of that race.You brand ALL whites as bad because of the acts of a FEW. That is because - and this is not just my view, but the recognised definition of the term - YOU ARE RACIST, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

  • @ZoltarSoulFunk Yeah I love Sun Ra too he speaks the truth ....

  • LSD is a helluva drug.

  • teleportation through music.

  • Genius

  • same dark figure with the mirror-face in maya deren's Meshes of the afternoon.

  • If you want to understand this you have to realize that nothing is real...it's just symbols... Listen to and read Alan Watts, Ram Dass, Terence Mckenna, etc. then you might understand. And above all I LOVE YOU ALL!

    PEace to all beings

    Roll roll roll your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a DREAM!!!

  • hes not a god he's just another mash head and to be fair I get his music but i hate it

  • lol he was traumatized by butt rape

  • The floating creature reminds me of a Metroid.

  • @whitegagstafailtrain Was? Is he dead? I just saw him a year or two ago.

  • I am White and I absolutely love his music...Sun Ra is God an alien who came to earth in human form to try and show a better way only problem is most of us did not understand it at the time and still don't - I know I do and Sun was a genius!

  • @Tri3Face No he lie to the people that his alien,He was not alien he was Iblis himself and he came form of human being or Dajjal one eye Lier.He make people believe that hi was from far away universum, that is not true.Thats why we call him as one eye liar because he deceive people one wrong path.

  • what the fuck is this

  • This guy seems like he could not be a good poet.

  • Comment removed

  • They need to reissue this film again

  • Madlib's rolemodel.....

  • Kwool

  • don´t have any chances to put this video legended in portuguese please?

  • He once said I am never satisfied with what I have done, therefore I am always moving forward. "Sun Ra was a busy man" cites one of his band members

  • Whenever you saw Sun Ra he was reading. Always reading and creating.

  • He was creating these spiritual based equations before the psychedelic movement had even started. He was writing about life on other planets when he was a child.

  • Hey, Mr. Ra, when I die, I'll look you up my Man...

    Transcendental, y'all....

    Peace and Saturnalia....

  • Hey, Mr. Ra, when I die, I'll look you up my Man...

    Transcendental, ya'all....

    Peace and Saturnalia....

  • methinks sun did hisself a bit o trippin balls....

  • @synesthesia67 nope. He is just spiritually in tune. Drugs were not allowed in his Arkestra. DISCIPLINE AND PRECISION. Meditation requires discipline. You have to tune up spiritual like an instrument has to tune up.

  • @ppc1989ark oddly enough, his music still had to have been inspired by the psychedelic movement, right? I'm almost most positive his music is more popular with the heads

  • @ack303 He was reading Buddhism at the age of nine. It's spiritual, not psychedelic. Psychedelic to me is a Westerners attempt to gain spiritual enlightenment through drugs, esp. LSD, mushrooms, DMT, STP, etc. These drugs will show you the Atman but there is always a come down... In other words, you can't stay high forever. In one interview Sun Ra said you will not be able to understand what I am talking about with your thinking mind. You have to tune up spiritually with discipline and precision

  • @ppc1989ark I'm sure you are correct about his background (which I really know nothing about), but I don't think that takes away the fact that most of the people who listened to Sun Ra were children of the psychedelic movement. The psychedelic movement in turn, turned people on to gaining spiritual enlightenment through other means besides drugs such as hallucinogens, as you are probably aware :)

  • @ack303 Yes indeed like Ram Dass.

  • @ppc1989ark thanks for all very cool info! another curious inquiry, do you think he had many paranormal experiences? besides being an angel from another planet :)

  • @ack303 He often said outlandish things to amuse himself with what journalists would say about him. He said he was from "somewhere else." He went to Saturn and Jupiter when some other type of beings teleported him and "taught him a lot of things." They told him that when the children would not listen to their parents is when Earth would enter complete chaos and all discipline was lost (we seem to be at that time). But the most important equation is "it's the unknown that you need to know."

  • @ack303 "The unknown is eternal and never passes away because you will never know what it is all about." There is a striking similarity between his equations and theoretical physics equations so I encourage you to look up the string theory, teleportation, etc. and listen to Sun Ra's equations and you might get a surprise. He has brought me to new spiritual horizons that I didn't think were possible, he is my guru, my mirror for where I need to work on myself.

  • @ack303 Ram Dass is also a spiritual mentor to me and has explained a lot of what Sun Ra was talking about in a way that I could understand.

  • @ppc1989ark Very nice Sir. It looks like by what you are saying, is that he wanted to introduce people to different spiritual concepts, and to do that he created his own fantastical background story. It looks like he had some very unique influences as a child such as spending time at a masonic lodge reading their literature.

    You must have seen my comments on a couple Ram Dass videos lol...I just started reading 'Be Here Now' and decided to look him up.

  • @ack303 oddly enough, psychedelic music was inspired by the avante garde jazzman and old bluesmen...

    now, sun ra may have been popular thru the psychedelic era, and was a pioneer of synthesizer warp outs, but, sun ra's career started 30 years before.. he was a master at all forms of jazz, swing, then bebop, and then the truly avante garde. he was well respected by all hi peers.. and, his philosophies developed over decades.. they were not just some acid head mumble. he was not into acid at all

  • Whoa! AWESOME! Thanks for sharing...

    -G

  • I see where Stargate gets its influence from.

  • I LOVE THIS!!

  • @wassomkeithley it's the evolution of consciousness into enlightenment. 

  • "Equation-wise, the first thing to do is to consider time as officially ended. We work on the other side of time." I love that.

  • He could have been a member of parliment funkadelic, and would have fit right in.

  • @frg8888 He influenced parliment funkadelic.... George Clinton as influenced by Sun Ra....Sun Ra was past labels and the models we have created for reality, Sun Ra understood the myth, the spiritual reality. Pure, sincere and natural

  • @frg8888

    actually Sun Ra is where they admittedly got their style from.

  • He could have been a member of parliment funadelic, and would have fit right in.

  • yeah nigga yeah

  • Didn't the Chinese try that (i.e. the cultural revolution)?

  • *This* is the film that inspired James Cameron to make "Avatar"

    Mrs. Blount: "Now, Herman, you practice your piano concerto! Someday you'll be famous and play in front of a big orchestra."

    Herman: "Aww, Mom -- I want a Farfisa organ! I'm gonna lead an Arkestra someday! DIG IT!!"

  • Nice job, keep it up. New music from Brandon Jarod coming soon, great sounds!

  • Great hail the solace, the wound and the splender, the stones of our being are still part of the universe as they are indeed part of us.

  • I'm not overthinking this, it is very clear what Sun Ra was talking about... Those who aren't in tune with nature will not understand. It's simply an ambiguous mess of vague statements and philosophy to those who are not pure. I myself am not pure, but I can recognize someone who is pure and Sun Ra is pure. A truly sincere, natural being.

  • It's unfortunate how so many people misunderstand Sun Ra's equations. The planet could benefit from his equations and if they refuse to think like he did and become spiritual they will be eliminated from the planet. Humans are self-destructive at this moment and will continue to destroy their natural home. Science will provide us with enlightenment. I don't think many people realize that Sun Ra was talking about how everything vibrates and the Universe is a symphony, which is the String Theory.

  • Meshes In The Afternoon influence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @bluejalopy Is that really what he is saying? I wouldn't doubt it because his equations are for all people... If it isn't I'm sure what he was trying to convey was that there are an infinite amount of possiblities for what can happen in the multiverse. For instance parallel universes... Sun Ra said that something planet earth does not know is that for everything there has to be an opposite and parallel.

  • "....better still. Teleport the whole planet [Earth] here through music." -Sun Ra

  • @bluejalopy Yep man, it is... Sun Ra is my spiritual guru.... He really knew about everything=nothing=all...

  • @fmdoll71

    It is clear you should not comment on things you cannot hope to ever understand.

  • What he has taught is no different than what was taught before him and even in the hereafter. He was definately in tuned.

  • it would affect their vibrations for the better of course :)

  • @bassthumper1964 If you don't get it it wasn't meant for you to understand

  • @orgnice sooooooo true! :D

  • Sun Ra transcends space and time.

  • Something can translate this to spanish?

    thanks

  • I think I saw a metroid

  • WAS THIS A HOLE MOVIE ?

  • @davidborboa yes: "space is the place"

  • Great Sun Ran...he will never die

  • So right up until you saw this video you were cool???.......... and then suddenly turned into a racist prick ......you had better be careful what videos you watch since you obviously have no control over your own "brain". SUN RA 1-0 EDDY Fuckwit

  • "There was no one to talk to on planet earth that would understand..."

  • @aquamanvan Space is the place, my man.

  • AAh.. Love him. And wearing the crown of (I believe Lower Egypt, c. 4th Dynasty.) From the list of titles that Ra (Egyptian Sun God) possessed was "self-created god", to whom cycles of 120 years are as years..." He'll be back, people.....

  • the whole film can be found on---- ubu.com

    and check unitedspaceflag

  • im not listening to it since i wont stop my audio player but it seems that mr sun ra is like electric miles but with a gigalitre more of acid in his bloodstream

  • Up and coming singer Janelle Monae MUST have seen this film,because her "Tightrope" video features the same mirror-faced sentries(?) seen here. Check it out,people. It ROCKS the dump!

  • @Blackwolff9 The mirror faced cloaked figures go even further back than Sun Ra.

    Have a look at Maya Deren’s "Meshes of the Afternoon":

    This is an experimental film classic from the early 40's.

  • @aquamanvan And amazingly enough,it's on YouTube! Thanks for the tip.I'll check that out.

  • I haveeeee beeeeen INSPIRED!!! O_O

  • Sun Ra was so into the future it will take being from the future to understand where he was coming from in the past. I still have a hard time dealing with his sounds.

  • Listen to THE PROPHET !! He's a REAL out of this world !

  • sun ra is the man

  • deeeeep

  • @101090MOE  deepeeerrr

  • avatar!!!

  • The cloaked enitity with the mirror face, does it represent some kind of psychological aspect, such as the "it" or does it represent the innermost source of awareness? Seen it before with in a documentary about this avant-garde director, she had connections to voodoo and chinese kung fu i remember, but i cant remember her use for the mirror-face figure... or her name for that matter... lil help anyone?

  • @Sanningsministeriet

    check right here on youtube for "meshes of the afternoon" by maya deren. you'll see the mirror face there as well. sun ra most definitely made a reference/connection to this. And, if you watch the whole thing through, it will somehow become clear, the meaning...

  • @qmark5 awesome, thanks!

  • @qmark5 yup, right on. maya rules! grandma of film poetry!

  • now 50 cent should see this. this is what black music should be about! rap music is killing the black race!!

  • @imababyshark

    False, check out Madlib and MF Doom, especially the song Shadows of Tomorrow, who give great appreesh to Sun Ra

  • Sun Ra is the deepest musician to grace this earth during this modern time - no one is deeper.

  • "Equation--wise...the first thing to do is consider time as officially ended" Oh man this is great!!!

  • sun ra is the king of the universe ! 5+***

  • avatar was copied from russians and

    sun ra.

  • The guy with the mirror face is completly copied from the movie meshes of the after noon, come on sun ra, wheres your originality?

  • who cares whether it´s original? it´s a good symbol, why not use it ?

    anyway, thanks for the interesting link to this meshes of the afternoon -movie.

  • @leezillanumber1fan His originality is his arkestry were first to destoy the set! Peace! unless you can prove it different?

  • why does everyone forget that we live in space?

  • He is THE man!!! :)....a great orchestrator and composer..

  • |-ra-| \|/

  • There will never be another like Sun Ra. I try to spread his Gospel, by sneaking on his music when people visit, or at parties and such...

    Without exception, someone always comes up to me and asks what this insanely awesome music is...

    He's on a better planet than us now.

    Great upload, thanks.

  • @ronson232

    sneaking sun ra's music at a party... you're the man :)

  • @ronson232

    He was a musical god sent from the future.

  • damn i think sun ra was a covert acid head :P

  • he actually forbid his arkestra to take drugs and denied them himself

  • WRONG!!!

  • @cry96tears Who is wrong?

  • ra i'm going to visit your planet whether you like it or not.

  • wow... this is dope.

  • hey sonor23 - Africa was colonized for hundreds of years, and still is, by whites and western companies. educate yourself man - read fanon's wretched of the earth and then talk about black people.

  • i think u are the one to be educated,read more

  • was going to say something but you couldn't have said it better

  • madlib/lord quas/sun ra

  • madlib sampled this.

  • One also has to consider the time too. This music came from a time of great unrest, confusion, and protest, or as he says, "The sound of guns, anger, frustration." Sun Ra isn't racist, he's just using this idea of another planet to imagine a different world (in 1974).

  • A world without white people :)

  • we can spell though....;)

  • it is those whites who behave bad (violent, unnecessary aggression, hate, lies . . .) he objects to, he no like blacks who act bad too, the truth is not everything is ok, somethings are bad, and some people will not like you if your behavior is bad . . . no matter your color or relation to them. your commet bout spelln could be =( upon b/caos properly taught anyone can spell, even better than u i can tell u ben lied to w/out u no n it with that UNDERstanding

  • you know what pisses me off about cocaziods? they cant see or hear

  • You know what pisses me off about zoids in general? You all think you are real.

    Born a poet. Died a slave. Unlock your mind.

  • yeah teleport the whole of planet earth....just don't bring whitey, leave them floating in outer space....:)) Why are black people allowed to be racist, I don't care what era, it is what it is...shame on you my brother.

  • this kinda makes me sad...I'm whitey and I really enjoy Sun Ra's music =(

    I can undersatnd his frustrations though.

    We are all people and that transcends color; good and bad right and wrong...it all comes around.

    peace.
