form) the circumstances of our lives.
16 Each performance is literally a pre-formed dance or a pre-form-ance: an action that creates and forms life circumstances. Therefore, attuned Hiphoppas align their pre-formances to GOD’s performance, remaining protected, prosperous and at peace, in harmony with the Will of God in their lives continuously.
17 For when God’s personality is a habit in your life, victory over the streets is inevitable and constant. And when GOD is enough for you, peace shall always be with you.
This performance ensures one’s longevity as an emcee, deejay, graffiti writer, etc.
18 Rap fans are trapped in the lure of lyrical freestyling, while attuned Hiphoppas enjoy a life that is free. Rap fans focus only upon sales and the performances of the marketplace while attuned Hiphoppas focus upon the performance of their God and receive all things freely.
19 To perform correctly is to live and act totally aware of your life and actions. The arena is your environment.
20 The stage represents your level of mentality and the audience is the World.
21 The show is an act of one or more divine performances.
22 Therefore, give a good show. As we perform throughout life we should be drawing the applause of GOD!
Hiphoppas are advised to perform the following:
___________________________________________________
1) Perform God. Act consciously with the intelligence/
force that guides your life. Make the decision to finally acknowledge and expect GOD’s actual presence. Turn your conscious attention away from the reality of the material World as valuable and turn your conscious attention toward the value of GOD above all else in and as your life.

1 Put GOD first in your life! Throughout the day make an effort to raise your heart and mind to the acts of God. Act like your God would act. Speak like your God would speak. Love like your God would love. God is not a name, it is a nature. Acknowledge the nature that has governed and guided your life.
2 Be God’s Will on Earth; be “the Love.” Align your Spirit through visualization to the totality of your God. Act out of your highest comprehended good. Act and speak on behalf of your God—the Love. Develop the ability to care unconditionally for your Self and others. Be the actual personality of your God in the lives of others; answer the prayers of those in need. Do God’s work in the World.
3 Act out the personality of your God and live in the character of your wiser Self. Express the Love of your God and see your God’s finished work in everything and everyone.
The most important training you can do for your Self in life is to practice living in the presence and personality of your God—the Love that is a true friend to all in its presence.
Such a practice leads to peace and strength.
4 Practice thinking through the mind of your God.
Perceive in God. Openly perform the personality of your God everywhere and anywhere you are. And do not be ashamed or become discouraged by your own uniqueness;
God is your nature. Perform your God in GOD. Direct your Self, teach your Self, govern your Self, heal your Self, guide your Self and most of all LOVE your Self.
5 GOD, the totality and unified consciousness of all existence, THE ALL, is one event! ultimately, there is no other god (power) but GOD! Without name, without form, everywhere and nowhere GOD is GOD! As an attuned Hiphoppa God is the nature that sustains you.
6 Happy and secure is the one who acknowledges no other power as their god except GOD. Value only GOD!

See only GOD! Trust only GOD! Live and act in the image of your God. It is indeed a fact that you can never be hurt by the immaturity of others when you act selflessly on behalf of GOD. Hurt comes when you place your immediate interests over the presence of GOD. Remember, the key is to keep GOD first in your life.
7 However, it is of extreme importance that you not force your interpretation of GOD upon others. GOD is real, but GOD is not real for everyone. As difficult as this may sound try to understand that knowledge of GOD is a privilege. Do not force your privilege upon others or expect others to see what you see.
8 For us, God is a bloodline—everyone does not possess the nature of God. They may respect and revere the godly life but they themselves are not yet prepared to commit to such a life themselves. Only those who are born for God shall commit to such a life.
9 Just as some are born with the ability to cook, and others are born with the ability to build houses, and even others are born healers; some of us are born God. Just as some of us are born with certain psychic abilities, others of us are born with the nature of God—our existence balances human affairs.
10 This is not to place anyone above anyone, nor is this an effort to claim some sort of authority, but in all Truth, some people were born to love GOD. Are you one of those people? We are not above anyone; in fact we serve and teach the World on GOD’s behalf. Our aim is to relieve human suffering.
11 This is why we argue with no one over the existence of GOD. If you do not know GOD it is because GOD is not part of your nature. It doesn’t mean that you are a bad or immoral person; it simply means that you were not born for that understanding and/or purpose. And likewise, if you

do not know GOD or simply doubt the existence of GOD do not make the mistake of applying such doubt toward others who do claim to know GOD.
12 Let us all accept each other as we all are, and let us hold each other accountable to the natures that we claim to possess. Those who truly know GOD express God; in fact, we have no choice in such expression. God is our nature.
God is in our blood. And there is no condemnation of atheist communities who are free to act according to their own Godless nature.
13 For it doesn’t matter what you believe or don’t believe, the real point is how do your views and values make you a better person, more tolerant and understanding of people? How do your views, values and beliefs benefit those around you? How are you making things better?
14 However, if God is your nature and you truly feel the presence of GOD and you are naturally drawn toward the things of the spirit it is of extreme importance that you outwardly perform the nature of your God whenever and wherever you are invited to do so.
15 Performing God is also about bringing spiritual reality into physical reality when needed. It makes no sense to claim a relationship with GOD and then have no real power on Earth and no real power in the World.
16 At some point we must mature from being consumers of God to becoming producers of God. Temple Members produce the effects of God as needed toward the relief of human suffering; we perform the nature of God openly for the benefit of all.
17 Nothing is more empowering than a real relationship with GOD. As John Bunyan has pointed out, “He who runs from GOD in the morning will scarcely find him the rest of the day.” Perform God.

2) Perform Listening. More than being a good speaker, be a good listener. Develop the ability (through practice) to truly listen and comprehend the subjects, topics, concerns and causes of others without judgment or prejudice.
1 Practice giving your full attention to a person.
Practice the art of temporarily setting aside your own desires and concerns so that you may experience the speaker’s world from within yourself.
2 For until you are willing to enlarge your Self as to include others unconditionally it shall be difficult for you to truly listen to another. The act of truly listening to someone requires some love or care for that person.
3 It is difficult to truly understand another person without first making room for that person within yourself.
True listening requires the total acceptance of the one speaking. True Listening is about true sharing. It is a union of interests.
4 GOD listens and speaks through many kinds of people as well as circumstances and situations. Perform your listening. Don’t just hear; train yourself to listen. Like your eyesight, you can direct your hearing. You actually can hear what you want to hear. You can hear the ignorance and immaturity of others, or you can hear GOD. The decision (freedom) is always yours. You can hear ignorance but you do not have to listen to it.
5 Direct your ear to hear and then listen to God’s instructions instead of the World’s insecurities. Know God’s voice. It is difficult to live by faith (or in spirit) if you cannot truly hear (and even speak) the voice of your God.
6 Know this. The brain selects certain sounds to hear, and you select out of those sounds what you want to hear.
Throughout the day direct your brain to hear the messages of GOD. They may come when you least expect it from

unusual and non-traditional places. Practice your spiritual sensitivity and train/use your intuitive abilities daily. You can begin with prayer, then affirmation, then visualization, then actualization.
7 Through each stage of growth it is the discipline to listen and comprehend the voice of GOD that provides the greatest guidance through the obstacles of the streets. Listen for your purpose and listen through your purpose.
8 Those who know their divine purpose can practice listening to that small, inner, background voice inside of them. It usually tells them what to do as well as what not to do. But most people ignore their still small voice only to regret making a decision contrary to the Will of that still small voice. In sorrow and regret they say, I knew I should have…or something told me to…. It is this cycle that must be reversed.
9 You must eventually develop the ability to hear clearly and obey that inner voice that warns, guides and teaches. You must learn how to act upon the messages of God. Take some time to listen to silence. God speaks silently and quietly.
10 When a split-second decision must be made in the material World, or when you get that feeling to choose left or right, yes or no, him or her, them or me, a helpful technique to hearing and obeying your inner-voice has traditionally been to act upon your first impression.
11 For those who live spiritual lives, usually it is the wiser-Self that advises us first, then the younger-Self doubts the advice of the wiser-Self in the decision making process.
12 Even if your first impression (or feeling) proves to be an immediate failure always remember that what appears to be a failure in the present isn’t always a failure in the future. Trust in GOD!
13 Just because you cannot immediately see the success

of your decision does not mean that your decision has led you to failure. Trust in GOD!
14 Those who truly live in Spirit and take their gospel seriously are guided and protected even when they cannot see it or do not even know it. Trust GOD! All throughout life you will be guided toward the fulfillment of your divine purpose.
15 Even when you appear to be lost, you are moving toward your divine purpose. Even when you believe that you are late, you shall escape danger and arrive right on time! Even when you lose you shall win. Trust GOD.
16 Even when adversity arises, fear not; indeed you are moving toward your divine purpose. When things are taken from you or damaged or it appears that you cannot get the things that you want, do not be discouraged; it is for your own protection and development.
17 The key to understanding life and flowing with life is in the knowing of your life purpose and in the knowing that it is your life purpose that God is actually fulfilling and that you are ultimately achieving your vision of your Self.
Listen to your purpose. Feel and follow the direction of your purpose.
18 Those who do not yet know their life purpose should ask their God to reveal it to them. Search your heart and listen. GOD has already given you purpose.
Look around your environment and into what you do best. Listen out for those activities that truly make you the happiest. You are already being called to your purpose right now! Do not be discouraged. Release all doubt, LISTEN and be guided! Perfrom Listening.
3) Perform Study. Study the progression of your own life experiences. Write them down! Study your life and practice repeating the actions of your own success. Study

GOD’s Ways, study GOD’s Voice, study GOD’s Laws and most of all study GOD’s Love and selfless care. Familiarize yourself through study with the way of the Great Spirit.
1 Every week investigate on a mental level a new idea that you are unfamiliar with or only partially familiar with.
Design your style of conversation through study.
2 Seek out new spiritual, philosophical and political books, seminars, cassettes, compact discs, videos and other information that specifically builds your spiritual and political knowledge. An infinite, all-knowing, all-seeing, omni-present GOD does not speak one language or through one religion or political party. GOD is infinitely limitless and speaks through a variety of sources.
3 Therefore, Hiphoppas are encouraged to explore and respect all spiritual materials, thoughts, people and places. Such a study expands the spiritual experience of the Hiphoppa and builds character.
4 Perfect yourself. For the more you perfect your Self the more perfect you shall become. You cannot expect spiritual results in the physical World if you are spiritually unstudied. For if you are truly serious about enhancing your spiritual reality and you truly value the presence of GOD in your life, then you must take your spiritual study time seriously. Don’t just study this gospel; study all gospels! Know this. The true Hiphoppa lives this gospel, and studies all others.
5 Watch television shows that inform as well as entertain. Do not waste your time criticizing the use of television, computers, motion pictures, print media, the Internet and radio. Simply choose very carefully the programs you expose yourself (and your family) to.
6 Whatever the program, seek to create a lesson out of it. Extract the hidden meaning behind all that you are exposed to. Create meaning even when there appears to be

none. Know this. To the pure in heart, all things are pure.
But to the troubled, all things are troubling. See only GOD and experience only peace.
7 Look for the lesson even if one does not appear to exist. Expand your comprehension. Do not just study knowledge; create knowledge out of the experiences of your own life. Add to the things that you already know. Do not just study to know, bring your knowing to your study.
STuDY WHAT YOu NEED TO KNOW.
