M.A.R.I.A. is the 3rd track (3 of 18) on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

This song has many meanings... On the surface, M.A.R.I.A. is the next evolution for slang similar to Mary Jane, Brown Sugar etc all related to marijuana.  

M.A.R.I.A. on another level means simply the desire, lust or addiction for any substance such as women, food, drugs, clothes, jewelry, material objects, cars, houses, fame and/or power.  

However, on a deeper spiritual level M.A.R.I.A. is an acronym for "Mind And Reason In Action."  It is symbolic of the battle between the gross worldly objects and the more subtle spirituality.  An active mind driven by the senses is what keeps man bound to the material or physical plane of existence.  Reason symbolic for "God's Wisdom" or "Intelligence" is what we need to nurture either through experience or more directly through meditation.  

We should never become slaves of our "wants" but rather discipline the body and the senses to serve the soul which is guided through intuition by connection inwardly with Wisdom...

"Callin' All Dimes" is the 4th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" which is simply a tribute to all beautiful women.

In these times, we seem to be obsessed with celebrityhood and outer beauty as obviously witnessed by eating disorders, plastic surgery and the Papparazzi, however, we should all be well reminded that true beauty comes from within! 

It may appear to be true that certain people may be born with "universally good looks" but none of that means much if you're an ugly person on the inside. No matter what the world may dish out to you it is never okay to let that turn you into a mean or nasty person. Even the most beautiful flower will wither in time... 

Likewise, outer beauty will fade with age and time and those who are loved the most in the long run will be the ones who were loving towards all and who were simply beautiful because of WHO they were!

"Rated X" is the 15th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S.

Unlike what the name suggests, this video or lyrics are actually NOT quite that X Rated... (Did you really think we were promoting porn here?) The video doesn't show any exposed private parts or actual sex. 

It is, however, intended to suggest the deepening life of worldly engrossment when there seems to be no point of return. As many realize when they've made it to the "top" that life seems to only offer the same temptations night after night - "sex, drugs & rock n roll" as they say!

We as souls even with fulfillment of material desires still feel a sense of longing that something is missing and we feel incomplete. That "completeness" we yearn can only be found in the Spirit...

"God Bless!" is the 17th track on the album "The World Ain't Ready! Chapter I: Rise to Power" by A.L.I.A.S. and is dedicated in particular to Thaddeus, Frances, Roland & Alice Pyfrom, Terrance Vanterpool and everyone who has lost family and loves ones!

This is the last song of the album (not counting outro) and captures the essence of this journey. A.L.I.A.S. has started from humble beginnings, seeks all the pleasures the world has to offer, become corrupted with money, power & women and comes to realize that it is all short-lived...

A.L.I.A.S. will still have to deal with the karma of his past actions (next series of albums) but for the moment has an epiphany and begins to appreciate the small moments and times shared with family and friends. 

Sometimes the "hood" can be the most beautiful place in the world when there is LOVE present. While the dreams of "being on top" can prove to be a lonely world full of anxiety, fear, paranoia and competition.

A.L.I.A.S. seeks to close this chapter of his past and turn over a new leaf but simply recognizing the path towards greater understanding doesn't mean the journey will suddenly be easy!

It is said for the individual that struggles for Self-Realization, God's grace will eventually come but for those that don't... He remains silent.

Time will tell...

God Bless

My rendition of a song originally recorded by Bonnie Raitt and a later recordings by Garth Brooks, George Michael, and several other artists...it is the ultimate song of surrender and unrequited love.
