[@maggieedwards3951]

The new Boy George bigger and better than before

[@tinfoilhatter]

as if he wasn't a big-enough giant-in-the-industry, right? [he's a lofty hat-rack, haha!] he was a 'big-man-on-campus' before i got outta high school and he's never been topped, and he never will! because he's who he is, and he helps people get in better touch with themselves and each other, wow, i hope he knows that! and they're waitin' for that next song, george! the world was different before george! the world is nuthin' like that anymore! [well, maybe, maybe not, okay, y'know what? you're right-about-that, mate!] [but what i should say is that, doggone it, seems to me, there ain't words fer it, mate!] it's a way of expression, what're-ya-gonna-do, right?

[@modifiedcontent]

What I've heard of the new albums sounds OK but very sedate. I hope they get a bit more edgy and ambitious on the next one. I am rooting for him/them.

[@felicitydeikos5250]

The younger Boy George was more sincere 💖

[@takashijosida8752]

I'm number 28 😉 Boy George is absolutely fantastic 👑🎩😍👌👍👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@michellepeterson64]

George is such an amazing person. I am so glad he has returned to the spotlight. A talent, a voice, and a look as beautiful as his should never be hidden. Merry Christmas to you and your family George! Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us!

[@dianaredflowers7928]

I agree with you ❤️👩🏻 Good thought!

[@christophermattera6936]

Boy George will never change. He will be exactly who he is and rock the world with his Amazing Talent. What makes him so Beautiful is his Unique gift he blessed us all with in being different and not the same as everyone else in the world. I love you Boy George!

[@The_SloaneRanger]

Great interview! I was very happy to be there to see it in person.

[@planetarykarma1376]

The SloaneRanger I am jealous... but good for you. 😄😘I was at the „male‘s concert“ in Germany which he was mentioning. And I am female... 🥺 Maybe one day I will get my chance to meet him in person... 😉

[@The_SloaneRanger]

@@planetarykarma1376 He came across very well but he was rushed in and rushed out so we couldn't get a photo opportunity or autographs. He did give a birthday girl a hug though but I am still hoping for my chance.

[@tinfoilhatter]

@@The_SloaneRanger i wouldn't know what to say if i did chance to meet the guy! i'd probly be like, 'hey, did you really meet david lee roth?' haha! i guarantee, dave is a big fan of george, y'know why? because dave's another guy who's all soul, all the time, man! that's what i've come to see, but only thirty-some years later, after many wrong impressions, see?

[@tonywoods5125]

Boy George es tan encantador y dulce . Hermoso Álbum LIFE

[@Birdbike719]

What a great interview. Glad he was able to resolve his vocal issues. Seems more settled than during the documentary "Karma to Calamaty" from 2015. Early recovery is hard for anyone, and especially for someone whose career was built on his ego expression when he was younger.

[@hoseamarrow]

Boy George has done a great job on his new album. I enjoyed the hit "Life". Very spiritual.

[@sandraali9836]

I love to listen to your interviews and you look fabulous handsome gorgeous and I love your facial ✌️✌️✌️💓💓

[@joannephraim6849]

Merry Christmas to me! I married George in 1982. He made a new rekindling in 2014. And now we're on our second honeymoon. #LIFE #ItsAMiracle #LetSomebodyLoveYou

[@girlwicked]

What a cute way to put that JoAnn ... I feel the same way ...

[@felicitydeikos5250]

do you know what's he's like now, behind the spotlight? read my text, he's not as gentle as he once was. Do you know he hated alot of his first/ second generation of fans? He also hates people who can't AFFORD money to see him, he told me personally alot of nasty things......... You may not agree with what I say...... I do understand, but I don't lie. He told me too many bad things, but I don't want to upset fans of him.

[@felicitydeikos5250]

Also Yes, He was married to a bloke in the early 2000s in the USA. He kept this from most of his fans.

[@joannephraim6849]

@@felicitydeikos5250 I don't know George personally. So, I really don't care. I know his music thoroughly and I love it. I don't attend concerts but only occasionally purchase music. I mostly only listen. All people are different and I simply accept that. My support of any artist STOPS IMMEDIATELY if and when they start causing harm to others (ie., R Kelly, et al). But, thank you for your concern.

[@felicitydeikos5250]

@@joannephraim6849 Thanks for your reply, George was a gentleman in the early 80s, don't get me wrong, he had a good voice, loved his fans, etc but as he " matured" he " changed" for the worse. ( Greed, pride, boasting, self interested, loves only the fans " who can afford to pay him $$$$ " He told me to piss*** and other things when I asked if he could make the Meet and Greet tickets abit cheaper not $2000 (per person in 2016) etc. He was great in the 80s. Most of his music is good, don't get me wrong, but he's not what people assume he is.

[@lessismore8533]

I live how George says "Doyouknow whatImean" REAL fast like it's all one word 🤣 so cute. Even in the 80s he did it.

[@kathycob6506]

Love that he is so real ✌️

[@debradavis9992]

This is fabulous. I think your audience is actually both male and female. It is a turn on if an individual is not afraid to show their truth. Attractiveness is being yourself and not being afraid of the consequences regardless. I love and connect with your music. Xo. Happy New Year

The Law myoho-renge-kyo represents the identity of what some scientists refer to as the ‘unified field of all consciousnesses’. In other words, it’s a sound vibration that is the essence of all of existence and non-existence, the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the true creator of everything that is, ever was and ever will be, right down to the minutest particles of dust, each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves by tapping directly into it by way of self-produced sound vibration. On the subject of ‘Who or What Is God?’, when we compare the concept of ‘God’, as a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to Nichiren’s teachings, the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people call ‘God’ is our enlightenment, which exists nowhere else but within us. When the disciples asked Jesus where the Kingdom of God is, didn’t he tell them that it was within them? Some say that ‘God’ is an entity that can never be seen. I think that the vast amount of information that is constantly being conveyed via electromagnetic waves gives us proof of how an invisible state of ‘God’ could actually exist. It’s widely known that certain data being relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects, including instant global awareness of something or mass emotional reaction. As well as many other things, it’s also common knowledge that these waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to even enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars. However, none of this is possible without a receiver to decode the information that is being transmitted. Without the receiver, the information would remain impotent. In a very similar way, it’s important for us to have our ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our life, all other life and what we and all else that exists truly is. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach into the core of our enlightenment and switch it on. That’s because the sound vibration of myoho-renge-kyo represents the combination of the three major laws that underlie all existence. Myoho represents the Law of latency and manifestation (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. One state of myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists. This includes our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them, our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re not being expressed, our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma, and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes obvious to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory, whenever we experience or express our emotions, or whenever a good or bad effect manifests from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it simply means that it has come out of the state of ‘myo’ (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s simply the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing something. The second law, renge, governs and controls the functions of myoho, ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect. The two laws of myoho and renge, both functions together simultaneously, as well as underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination, kyo, is what allows the law myoho to be able to integrate with the law renge. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects together all Life and matter, as well as the past, present and future. It is often termed the Universal Law of Communication. Perhaps it could even be compared to the string theory that some scientists now suspect exists. Just as our body cells, thoughts, feelings and all else are constantly fluctuating within us, everything in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux, in accordance with these three laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible for us to calculate or describe. And it doesn't matter how big or small, important or trivial that anything may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of myoho-renge-kyo. These three laws are also the basis of the four fundamental forces and if they didn't function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. Simply put, all forms of existence, including the seasons, day and night, birth, death and so on, are all moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation, rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two universal states of myo and ho in absolute accordance with renge and by way of kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn in accordance with the workings of what the combination myoho-renge-kyo represents. Nam, or Namu, on the other hand, is a password or a key; it allows us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with myoho-renge-kyo. On a more personal basis, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives from moment to moment, as well in our environment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is turning, and rhythmically chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo for a minimum of ten minutes daily, anyone can experience actual proof of its positive effects in their life. In so doing, we can pierce through even the thickest layers of our karma and activate our Buddha Nature (enlightened state). We’re then able to summon forth the wisdom needed to challenge, overcome and change our negative circumstances into positive ones. It brings forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that is preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we truly are, regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexual preference. We are also able to see and understand our circumstances and environment more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. Actual proof soon becomes apparent to anyone who chants the words Nam-myoho-renge-kyo on a regular daily basis. Everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect, so the strength of the result from chanting depends on dedication, sincerity and determination. To explain it more simply, the difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, or producing a song and so on. NB: There are frightening, disturbing sounds and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It's the emotional result from any sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day you are producing a sound vibration that is the password to your true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things, such as your fears and desires etc. The important way to get the best result when chanting is not to see things in a conventional way (difficult to achieve but can be done), rather than reaching out to an external source, you need to reach into your own life and bring your needs and desires to fruition from within, including any help that you may need. Think of it as a seed within you that you are bringing sunshine and water to in order for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s important to understand that everything that we need in life, all the answers and potential to achieve our dreams, already exist within us. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHS9YYuApryFqJY OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN sings about Nam-myoho-renge-kyo
