The Nip Effect

"I say it's worth it, I won't say it's fair, find your purpose or you wastin' air” (Asghedom, 2018)

“Quantum-Hussle”, is the theoretical framework of Nipsey Hussle’s profound psychological guidance, imprinted in biblical knowledge which demonstrates the blueprint for spiritual evolution. The premise of this research was inspired by the life, message, and spirit of Hussle. This psycho-spiritual effect: offers a cultural framework for the interpretation of spirituality; introduces quantum field and the notion that our inner silence holds rich promise (N. Kohls et al, 2011); examines principles of Universal Mind, Consciousness and Thought (Pransky & Kelley, 2017); recognizes, values, embraces, differentiates, integrates, and consciously utilizes the collective psyche (Hunziker & Dunlap, 2021); codes, structures and interprets spiritual experiences through ritual and explanatory models (N. Kohls et al, 2011)
