Deep Inside the Blues collects thirty-four of Margo Cooper’s interviews with blues artists and is illustrated with over 160 of her photographs, many published here for the first time. For thirty years, Cooper has been documenting the lives of blues musicians, their families and homes, neighborhoods, festivals, and gigs. Her photographic work combines iconic late-career images of many legendary figures including Bo Diddley, Honeyboy Edwards, B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins, and Hubert Sumlin with youthful shots of Cedric Burnside, Shemekia Copeland, and Sharde Thomas, themselves now in their thirties and forties. During this time, the Burnside and Turner families and other Mississippi artists such as T-Model Ford, James "Super Chikan" Johnson, and L. C. Ulmer entered the national and international spotlight, ensuring the powerful connection between authentic Delta, Hill Country, and Piney Woods blues musicians and their audience continues. In 1993, Cooper began photographing in the clubs around New England, then in Chicago, and before long in Mississippi and Helena, Arkansas. On her very first trips to Mississippi in 1997 and 1998, Cooper had the good fortune to photograph Sam Carr, Frank Frost, Bobby Rush, and Otha Turner, among others. "The blues come out of the field," Ulmer told Cooper. Seeing those fields, as well as the old juke joints, country churches, and people’s homes, inspired her. She began recording interviews with the musicians, sometimes over a period of years, listening and asking questions as their narratives unfolded. Many of the key blues players of the period have already passed, making their stories and Cooper’s photographs of them all the more poignant and valuable.

About The Illumined Heart and Mind: The Supra-Humans are amongst us All humans are currently mutating to a superior species How awesome is that? We are a privileged generation. Long kept secrets are now being revealed to one and all alike to help us in the process. There are magical, mind-blowing treasures hidden in the depths of our hearts, our DNA and our in our pineal glands waiting to be discovered and activated Every cell of our body is intelligent, will listen to our every thought and will do our bidding, whether we are conscious of this or not. The more we understand this, the better we can harness our inner spiritual powers to navigate our life to celebrate love, joy and abundance in all areas of our lives This book is about finding the Path to Unconditional Love, discovering the Secret Chamber in the Heart and Christ Consciousness, activating the Pineal Gland, DNA and the long sought Fountain of Youth. As we move towards our goal to create a highly evolved planet, we as a human family, are in the process of crossing the spiritual Antahkarana Bridge, to live as soul beings and the divine beings that we truly are. The Antahkarana Bridge is when we cross from the lower self to the Higher Self which is living nearer to the spiritual realm. As Rumi said 'The soul has been given its own ears to hear things the mind does not understand.' We are all on our way back to unite with the Source, and learning to communicate with each other soul-to-soul and heart-to-heart. As we connect with the Universal Mind, where all knowledge is, we can download any information we need and receive guidance to live our lives in total abundance as we attune to the All that is. When a critical mass of the human family has achieved a certain state of higher consciousness, God's kingdom shall be established on earth, and we will experience unity and oneness on earth. In other words, we will experience heaven on earth. Like it or not modern technology is racing forward catapulting us to a new world of magic never dreamt of before. We as humans have no choice but to likewise evolve to become the Supra-Humans we are meant to be to live joyfully in this new world of wonders. In the past the evolution process took many years, indeed even many lifetimes, the process was slow and tedious. But now we are lucky witnesses of astronomical changes the whole world is going through, we are experiencing a world full of strife between good and evil, and it is our free choice individually to choose which path to take. Do we go backwards longing for the so called good old days, or do we stagnate afraid to move forward, or do we choose to prepare ourselves with open minds to new knowledge, so we can go forward to meet the new exciting challenges awaiting us. All of us can do this, if we fill our hearts with love. We now have the opportunity to evolve right here right now, in this lifetime, if we make the effort, listen, reflect, understand and connect directly with the Source of Life, to unite with the Inner Divine Self that is always there ready to guide us to the right path. We humans are all both physical and spirit, sadly many of us have forgotten or ignored the Divine part of us. Now is the time to connect to unite with the spiritual part of us. Everyone one of us can evolve to be a supra-human being. We owe this to ourselves, to our families and to humanity. Our future is in our hands. It is up to each one of us individually and collectively so that we can live in a world of higher intelligence free of fear and hate. The Universal Energies are in our favour helping us to achieve this goal.
