Momentum has continued on the topic of Marvin Gaye's self-actualization. I've dug deeper into what did Marvin do with his time, on his journey thru life, once that "straw that broke the camel's back" incident happened in his career in 1967? In the previous episode, thru examining Marvin's released material we saw a several year span of time, from 1967 to total fruition of self-actualization with the release of "What's Going On" in 1971. Yet, and this is what makes it all the more poignant and personal to Marvin's LIFE, as we now have access to more unreleased material, we come across a wealth of material in 1967 that shows how IMMEDIATELY what Marvin began doing was fully immersing himself into recording the type of material that he felt helped him fulfill being true to himself. It is his first recording (we can hear) of the songs that he would record numerous times over the next decade until 1977-1978, and which he finally at that point felt fully satisfied with, and even considered the best work of his career, the album "Vulnerable." We discuss how there are two elements to our walk thru this thing called life. One element: the WORLD; which shapes and affects all of the elements outside of yourself. Let's face it, right now in this universe is a challenging time in this world, a shared experience by all. And the second element, the one we control, is our personal life journey. And what are we going to choose to make of it, do with it, and fill it with? Marvin's course of action in 1967 offers further encouragement for our collective challenges to not be overwhelmed by the WORLD during this time. To seek, find and remain true to a personal quest to self-actualization for the time we experience this life.
