We are Luminaries, so are you. Here to spread that love.

Splendid viewers, welcome to this week’s Vegetarian Elite, as we meet the conscious hip-hop band, Luminaries.

One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

Luminaries is a family of seven vibrant individuals: Amore One, Ben Jammin, Dreams, Eric Soul Livin, Free(w)ill, J Brave, and Konscious Krieger. They are all gifted artists, and they have all been united by their shared vision of an uplifted, peaceful world. Supreme Master Television visited the tranquil Luminaries Circle House in Woodland Hills, California, USA, where we were welcomed with opened arms for a nice chat with several of the band members. The gathering began with a prayer of gratitude.

I give thanks for this family, this circle, this community. And for this time where we are able to make a stand for what we believe in. Let us invoke the spirit into this moment, invoke it into all of our words, all of our thoughts, all of our actions, let us embody the spirit. Praise the Most High, and so it is. And so it is.

The Luminaries brings us a unique, empowering form of music blending rock, rap, funk, soul, and hip hop.

I think our music bridges a lot of genres. And all of us come from different cultural backgrounds, different upbringings, different musical influences. And I think that is really reflected in the music. We compile all of that together, and it all kind of gets put in the golden orb in the center and we stir it up. And I think we’ve really done our best to be authentic in what we put forth and allow each other to bring out their natural tendencies in the music, and it becomes unique and becomes luminous.

And the resulting music radiates a message of love and unity.

For me, our music is about peace, our music is about justice, our music is about freedom, and our music is about liberation. Liberation of the soul, our music, through our stories, it resonates with basic universal concepts of humanity. Our music is about self preservation, and our music is very positive, very uplifting, very empowering.

It’s a reminder to myself. It’s about love, it’s about love for oneself. It’s about love for all the people in the world, love for all life on this planet, including the living Mother Gaia. And I guess, ultimately, our music’s about connection.

In fact, it was through the common ideals of compassion and the yearning for enlightenment that brought the Luminaries together.

I met this guy, Javis, playing basketball, and I just felt the kinship with this guy. We were two people on a path, didn’t know where we were going, we were both young and trying to figure things out. different people. And we realized that together, musically as well, like we had something to say. And it’s funny because it wasn’t until I said yes to my spiritual path that I even got on the microphone to record.

I followed a blog posting on MySpace from a revolutionary hip-hop artist known as Immortal Technique who was talking about South Central Farm. South Central Farm is the nation’s largest urban community farm, 14 acres in South Central LA. We had 350 families growing their own food, a safe place for children to play. J Brave here had thrown an event about a month or two prior to me getting involved. We ran into each other at a hip-hop festival and we were both kind of doing positive conscious hip-hops, you know, hip-hop with a message.

It was working together for social services that led MCs J Brave, Freewill, and Amore One to create Luminaries in 2006. Since then, they have used their musical talents to bring inspiration to others.

“Music is my medicine. I’mma let it in, deep inside, feel the vibe, time to go within.” What people have said to me after shows is they feel moved, they feel touched and inspired. And I’ve seen that and heard that from a variety of different people, from young people to hip-hop heads, to surfers to older people in their late 40s and 50s.

And seems that when the message universally is expressed and they receive that by choice, it breaks all borderlines of genre, and it goes right to their heart. And to me it feels good to hear those things because I know that it’s affecting the people in a positive way. And I know that we’re not here to save anything; we’re here to serve it, serve the world. So, that’s it.

P is for the people
E is for the essence
A is for the answers that we get from God’s questions
C is for the conscious
E is for the Earth
So everybody gotta stand up and find they worth,
A world divided will often fall to disease and violence
Gotta get through the shame and the silence
so we can be united,
Only the righteous will overcome and become enlightened,
Living your life
Loving your self
So let the light in

One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

Peace worldwide starts from inside
We gotta find a better way that we can be (Be!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Go ‘head and let your mind, body, soul be free (Free!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
The answer and solution always starts with me (Me!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
If you want to save the world,
Be the change you wanna see!

I gotta peace of mind I gotta piece of paper
About to make a perfect rhyme that the world’ll savor
Counting stars gazing past 2011 To 2012 infinity – 777
I hope we make it to Heaven on earth
To see our brethren Come back, resurrected Bob Marley the Legend
It’s One Love
And me and my people are all connected
For world peace
We gotta have a common collective

Martin taught us the lessons Of how we should be respected and
Gandhi truly embodied the non-violent perspective
Global community unity maybe you and me
Can sit down build upon love
’cause it’s what we need
Let’s get to farming and feeding the people starving
Across the whole planet What’s going on is alarming
Sustainable living We don’t need their provisions
We can grow it pick it and eat it
That’s the world I envision On a mission
to spread peace All around the world
Like Chase, paint a face Make a beautiful mural
Africa needs peace Europe and South America Asia and Australia
Do you believe in miracles?
’Cause it can happen if everybody would tap in
To all the love in their hearts
And everyone started laughing
Time for action No time to explain
It takes 6 billion willing people to change

Now imagine if the words of John Lennon would come alive
And every body in the world started to unite
Realize It ain’t far fetched –
we can do it
Come together for a cause, do it with the music
Use it, take time and pursue it
Dreams and aspirations are all up to you
’Cause everybody in the world wanna get free
And everybody in the world, wants peace!

One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

One Love, One Blood, and One Heart

Vegetarian Elite will be back after this brief message. You are watching Supreme Master Television. Welcome back, cherished viewers, to our chat with the conscious hip-hop band, Luminaries.

What up y’all? Peace worldwide.

Everybody put your fingers up to the sky for world peace. Take those two fingers, right? Hold them up high. Put them up. You take those two fingers and put them together as one. Because apart we’re separate, but together we’re one.

Everything is one! And oneness is everything
Everything is, everything is one
Everything is one! And oneness is everything
Everything is, everything is,
everything is, everything is one

Luminaries is a free-spirited band of three MCs and four musicians. In sharing elevating messages, their songs connect with people from all walks of life. Indeed, music is one of the windows through which each of the Luminaries stays in touch with the Divine within.

I meditate for maybe 10 or 15 minutes every day, just to really get reconnected with who I am. Music is a huge thing for me as well, you know, practicing piano, guitar. I teach music to kids, that’s a really meditative thing and a really enriching thing for me that reminds me of my creative nature, the Divine power that allows us to create.

My spiritual practice I believe is actually my life. It’s every action, thought, deed that occurs throughout my day. I have certain habits that I develop to remind myself that I’m a spiritual being. Just meditating in the morning, taking that 20–30 minutes whatever, you know, 2 hours, 3 hours sometimes. Sometimes 5. Sometimes the whole day. Meditate, check in with yourself.

Every moment is precious and every breath is a gift
Every second’s a blessing in every lesson we live
It’s the essence of living when your eternally giving
Loving yourself more than anyone,
internally building Stop clinging and craving
Stop judging and blaming Start living in the present
cuz ya mind needs some taming
Go further and further into a deep meditation
These are the words for ya, healing helping ya soul’s elevation illumination!
Shine bright from inside Let it glow through ya pores
As you start to fly Like a firefly!
We fly and live life
What a beautiful existence under moonlit nights
So come on...

Time heals and reveals all things
Yet the moment is all we have
Surrender Nothing ever stays the same
Find GOD from inside and accept the change

In addition to music and meditation, Luminaries maintain their clarity and spirituality through kind and conscious decisions in their vegetarian diets, as well as leading intoxicant-free lifestyles.

I believe eating a vegetarian diet is another way to remind yourself to connect with your spirit and that we are full of life force.

Practicing raw food is a really grounding art for me. Eating salads and super foods is one of the most powerful healing tools I’ve been able to do, that I do every day. Really helps me to feel connected to the Earth.

And we don’t have to harm other creatures on our planet in order to connect in order to survive. There’s some human beings out there living on a grain of rice a day or very little, and it’s because they’re connected fully with their spirit. They know they can just channel that in.

On a separate occasion when we met with Daniel Konscious Krieger, he conveyed his heartfelt gratitude to Supreme Master Ching Hai for her loving reminder on why a vegan diet is the only one suitable for a dignified humanity.

I heard Supreme Master speak about her passion for why people should let go of a meat lifestyle and go to a vegan plant-based diet. It saves so many lives, and the way that she conveyed that message was just so direct and you really felt her heart coming out with that. And being a year long, 2 years actually I’ve been a vegan, and it was like an awakening for me that I realized how my diet affected the planet. Not only the planet, it started with the realizing how it affected my friends and family, my health. And it’s a really powerful message.

So, just gratitude for putting that message out so clearly, and those animals they need our help. It’s up to us to end this enslavement and turn it around and become herbivores once again that we were meant to be. So thank you for that message and it’s an honor.

Make sure you join us again next week as we continue our chat with the Luminaries. We’ll get a peek into what the guys are eating, learn more about their life-loving endeavors, and of course, hear more uplifting Luminaries music. And now, please stay with us for Between Master and Disciples, up next on Supreme Master Television. May laughter be the constant melody that dances in your heart.

Be inspired and uplifted with the Luminaries www.LuminariesMusic.com
Peace...
Shalom...

Worldwide...

What do we all have in common? We are all nurturing the God within ourselves, and radiating that throughout the world. And through music, we come together as Luminaries – luminaries means light. Bottom line is: spread your light.

Halo, smiling, soulful viewers! We’re glad you’re here to join us again at the Luminaries Circle House. Last week on Vegetarian Elite, we got to know the conscious hip-hop Luminaries family, comprised of Amore One, Ben Jammin, Dreams, Eric SoulLivin, Free(w)ill, JBrave, and Konscious Krieger.

It’s a luminous movement
Ladies and gentlemen Time to walk that walk
We are the Luminaries (Yeah!)
Time to show the world It’s all love!
Show the world! (Love!)

Greeting our arrival today is Daniel Konscious Krieger and Erick SoulLiving…

Okay, come into our kitchen.

Come on in!

So, check it out. We’ve got kombucha, we’re drinking, raw, organic kombucha – very healthy culture. What else are people eating in this house? We got some flax oil, we got some greens.

Greens!

Some mixed greens from Whole Foods. We got some hemp seeds in here, in this bag.

Organic!

Organic! All of this organic! We got some almond butter. Delicious! What else we got? Some wakame seaweed salad, I see some blueberries in there.

We got reishi, we got ginger, we got many various different types of ancient herbs to help with healing.

So, this is a Vitamix.

Helps you blend up nuts, to make nut butters, make smoothies. What else do we do with it?

Yeah! Well, you can basically use it to blend up anything that you’re eating. And it’s a three-horsepower blender, so you can put a block of cement in there and it will blend it up.

We got also Greenstar Juicer, makes green juice. Tell them about green juice.

Green juice is one of the most nutrient, important components of the raw food diet, is getting lots and lots of green juice. That’s where all your vitamins and everything is going to come from is your green juice. So, make sure and drink tons and tons of fresh squeezed green juice. And if you have one of these juicers like this, you can do it at home. Go to the Farmer’s market, buy a load of kale, buy a load of greens, and just put them right through there, and you’re set.

Cool man.

Being raw organic vegan certainly has many benefits, such as ensuring the wellbeing of our animal co-inhabitants and our own health. But as we face the looming urgency of climate change, it is especially vital to conserve our precious ecosphere. To nourish one’s soul, Luminaries reminds how important it is to also keep clarity of body and mind through an intoxicant-free lifestyle.

In my experience, clarity and sobriety is the quickest way to achieve your dreams and the things you want in your life. So I encourage that for you in your life, and the lives of your friends and family.

To all the youth out there, the joy of life can come from many things. You can do it through music, through art, through any creative endeavor. You don’t have to use drugs to alter your state. Connecting with family, with friends, being passionate about what you do; follow your dreams and that’s what will guide you on the path to where you want to go. Sending a message of hope for all the young ones out there. Just say yes to love. Peace worldwide.

Time heals and reveals all things
Yet the moment is all we have
Surrender Nothing ever stays the same
Find GOD from inside and except the change
I let the universe guide me
Dropped all my luggage and put the past behind me
I’m rollin’ with Jah, he's all that I need
I’m havin’ no fear, nothin’ can stop me

Within the unique Luminaries household is a darling little one named Amma.

I love you Ama.

As each member of the Luminaries family plays an intricate role, she too has her part.

This little girl right here, she’s another part of my spiritual practice. She helps me hone my patience skills and my joy skills, of being joyful and never taking life too seriously. Because this kid is like always smiling, always reminding me to have a good time and just appreciate life. We’re just here to have fun. We’re here to be kids. And somehow we forget that sometimes.

Yeah that’s true, like why take anything seriously? Like you know what I’m saying? It’s so great.

As the band looks to foster the best possible world through the service of their music, they are reminded to stay in touch with their own inner child, one whose blissful purity and surrender is always connected to the Divine. We’ll be back in a moment after a short prayer. You are watching Vegetarian Elite on Supreme Master Television.

For me, it’s about holding a vibration of healing and love, and letting that and channeling that as I’m playing my instrument, as I’m putting notes out into the universe, as people are listening, and that’s my service. My music is a large part of my service to the world, I believe.

Peace worldwide starts from inside y’all. This is Konscious Krieger of Luminaries and just want to send the message:
Be Veg, Go Green, and Save the Planet.

Welcome back to Vegetarian Elite on Supreme Master Television. Daniel Konscious Krieger shares with us some Earth-friendly actions that the band has adopted to uplift and beautify the world, as well as create a peaceful planetary playground for future generations.

We stand for being vegetarian, being conscious with your eating, going green as much as we can – our tour bus is biodiesel – being sustainable, doing anything that contributes positively to the environment. Organic foods, sustainability, being a positive contribution to the world are a lot of the general causes that we support and want to get more involved with too.

We have a shoe company called “Autonomie Project,” they make Chuck Taylor-style shoes that are vegan and recycled, so it’s a very sustainable shoe. We also have a water bottle company that uses stainless steel as opposed to plastic and they endorse us, and here it is. And helps eliminate the use of single use plastics. Little things like that go a long way.

In addition to their veg and green endeavors, Luminaries are united in effecting positive changes for the youth.

I became a social service provider, working with people from ages 12–24 living in Hollywood area and also in the greater Los Angeles area. And seeing a lot of what was really going on that was not being spoken about, to see homeless children, like, children homeless, that really affected me and I felt like I had to do something.

Find hope in the Heaven and all the wondrous stars
Shouldn’t look no further
You know who you are You are GOD
The one who created all things
You are love The essence of all human beings
Be the light The change The fight The struggle
The solution and the final piece of the grand puzzle
Got to get it together Make it to infinite levels
Get it and go to the limit paving the road to forever
We can make it through the storm
Hold tight be strong Freedom fighter
Raise you lighters Luminaries keep it goin’!
Love Commitment
Heart Forgiveness
Strength and Fitness
Life No Limits
We are the children of light filled with upliftment
Creative and gifted Show the world what you’re made of!
Love… Commitment
Heart… Forgiveness
Strength and Fitness
Life …No Limits

We are the children of light filled with upliftment
Creative and gifted Show the world what you’re made of!

As a seven-person collective and family, Luminaries find immeasurable rewards in working together and bringing light to the world.

I think it’s very important, maybe even most important to come to the table and dialogue, exchange ideas, exchange perspectives.

Through my own community relations in this band and other communities I’ve been involved in, I feel it’s a very high platform for people to expand and transform themselves. Being around people with vital energy that wants to grow.

We’re all like star players, learning to work as just solid team members. And I think that’s a good metaphor for whatever people do in their life: when you can humble yourself and learn to work with others, you can accomplish really great goals.

Start working together to make our world a better place.

So I think it’s happening now. I feel it’s happening. I’m experiencing different festivals and different things and communities that are happening that reflect so many diverse means of culture. And it’s beautiful to just have an accumulation of different things and different sorts of people. And people feeling accepted to share that. So I think it’s helping lift the whole consciousness of the world. And I see it happening, and it’s good to be a part of it. It’s like what you’re doing on this show right now.

One Love, One Blood, and One Heart
One People, One World, and One God
We gotta come together united for One Cause
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

Peace worldwide starts from inside
We gotta find a better way that we can be (Be!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Go ’head and let your mind body soul be free (Free!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
The answer and solution always starts with me (Me!)
Peace worldwide starts from inside
If you want to save the world,
Be the change you wanna see!

At the heart of their brilliant talents and noble endeavors, Luminaries are just seven humble and gracious guys.

I continue to learn over and over in working with these people. I’m so blessed to be here right now, I’m so grateful to be here.

I’m just trying to be in a space of being an unconditional vessel and just having that communion in that moment with spirit and letting it come through. And just not being attached the outcome and letting it flow. Just having fun. So it’s great honor to be on stage with these beautiful musicians and people, and I’m really grateful to be a part of this whole collective, which is Luminaries.

I think the “Luminaries” mission is to spread light throughout the world. It’s just talking about love, how to love yourself; because if you love yourself, you can love everyone else that much more.

It’s been a great time with SupremeMasterTV.com. We're so grateful you guys came out, spreading the love, spreading the light. Luminaries. Peace worldwide.

With our hands held high for peace, we send our love to Luminaries for helping to light a path to an Eden on Earth for all beings. Blessed viewers, please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for Between Master and Disciples. We bid you farewell with this parting thought: Where does peace begin?

Peace worldwide starts from inside
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Peace worldwide starts from inside
Put your hands up in the air for peace!

Luminaries. Peace.

We have to leave something to the people, to the public, so that they don’t forget their roots, they don’t forget their customs, where we come from, where we are from and that is very important for us. Tune in to Supreme Master Television’s A Journey through Aesthetic Realms on Tuesday, February 23 for Part 2 of the two-part series featuring the beautiful Colombian folk dance tradition.
