None Dare Call It Conspiracy?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The above Paragraph is the First Amendment of the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights in regards to Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and Petition. Under this Amendment, it guarantees Freedom of Religion yet also requires the separation between the Church and State. This has far reaching implications and is very important for People to understand, especially those who don’t claim a “Religion” but a Cultural Worldview and Nationality. As for The Nation of Gods and Earths (AKA: Five Percenters), we are not a Religion or a Religious Group. We are not Muslims and we advocate a God-Centered “Cultural” Worldview. Even though the Federal District Court in New York ruled that Intelligent Tareef Allah had been denied his First Amendment Right of religious freedom, and is entitled to practice our Culture in Prison, this Court Decision represents an exception. In most Correctional Facilities across the United States The NGE is labeled ‘A Gang’ and ‘STG’ (Security Threat Group). This is the Ruling Perspective of the Dominant Class and what they consider to be their Status Quo. While this Perspective is obviously unfair/unreasonable -in light of the many Gods/Earths who are positive/progressive Members of their Families, Communities and Society as a whole-, some of these claims are not without merit. Like in many Societies, there does exist segments (pockets) of People who claim to be Citizens of The NGE (Gods/Earths) who knowingly/unknowingly reinforce these stigmas -based upon their own immature, amoral, uncivilized and irresponsible behavior.

In the early developmental years of The NGE, the Youth were the 99% who responded to this Cultural Worldview. These Youth were Middle Schoolers, High Schoolers and Dropouts. They weren’t Fathers/Mothers, College Graduates, Home Owners and Business Owners. They were learning, often for the very first time, the responsibilities of Manhood/Womanhood. While going through this urban Rights of Passage, they were simultaneously being introduced to the apex of Manhood/Womanhood; Kings/Queens, Gods/Earths. While some of these Youth excelled in this educational process, many of them didn’t meet some of these challenges that came along with being immature/inexperienced (young) and dealing with the obvious Socioeconomic turbulence of the 1960’s. Magnify this with the claim of 'Culture Freedom', and this alienated many of these Youth or put them in direct opposition to various Religious, Nationalistic and Secular Groups/Organizations who viewed this stance as a direct threat to their Doctrine, Cultural Identity and Social Status. The Father (AKA: Clarence 13X) was viewed not only as a Pied Piper of sorts, b.u.t. also a potential Enemy of the State and threat to the US Government. Why? Because of his clearly Non-Religious Cultural Stance in the midst of a Christian Country that advocates a Eurocentric Cultural Status Quo. So legally speaking, The Father, his Companions and the Youth they Mentored had no protection under the First Amendment of the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights in regards to Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion and Petition. When you examine the stances that many other People took who veered away from a “Religious” Perspective into a Cultural/Nationalistic Arena, you’ll notice something very consistent... Garvey was deported (exiled) for so-called Mail Fraud, Noble Drew Ali was mysteriously murdered, when Martin Luther King Jr. started talking about the African Diaspora he got shot in Memphis, El Hajj Malik Shabazz (Malcom X.) was assassinated not long after he started the Organization of African Unity and began talking about taking the issue of Black People’s Human Rights to The UN, COINTELPRO obliterated the Black Panther Party, the Philadelphia Police Dept. dropped a Bomb on the MOVE Organization destroying 65 Homes killing 11 Adults/Children, a healthy Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad (Spokesman of the New Black Panther Party) died from mysterious "natural causes" and the Leader of the Nuwaubian Nation is sitting in a Supermax Prison in Florence Colorado as you read this Article. In regards to The NGE; within two short years of being arrested at a Rally on false charges and his name added to the FBI Security Index, The Father was sent to Bellevue Hospital for psychiatric treatment, sentenced to Mattewan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and assassinated not long after being released and effectively politicizing our National Agenda and Cultural Worldview… Many Caucasians clearly got the Memo because some years later Scientologists, Satanists and Wiccans sought legal protection under the First Amendment by establishing “Churches”; Church of Scientology, Church of Satan and various Wiccan Churches. You even had White Supremacist Groups establishing Churches to get this protection such as The Creativity Movement (formally known as The World Church of the Creator). So ask yourself the question, “Where does this still leave those who don’t claim a ‘Religion’ but a Cultural Worldview and Nationality?”

On December 31, 2011, President Barack Obama signed into Law HR Bill 1540. While this massive 900 plus page document covers the ins and outs of National Defense, the most controversial part of this Bill is the Counterrorism Section (Subtitle D). It allows arbitrary and indefinite detainment of those who’re classified as Domestic/Foreign Terrorist Suspects, yes “Suspects” as in, “we think you’re saying/doing something”. This Bill also specifies that the US is engaged in armed conflict with not only Al-Qaeda and the Taliban b.u.t. other Associated Forces that pose a threat to the US, it’s Citizens and it’s Allied Forces (Coalition Partners). Also, these “forces” the US are in conlfict with are defined as any ‘belligerent’ Nations, Organizations or Persons engaged in ‘hostilities’ against the US, it’s Citizens and it’s Allied Forces (Coalition Partners). The problem with such language is that it’s very broad. Anyone that’s posting ‘belligerent’ comments over Facebook, uploading what can be considered ‘hostile’ videos on Youtube, or even having loud untactful conversations around People about your Nationalistic Pride can possibly earn them free transportation to an island Prison, denied your Civil Rights and eventually brought before a Military Court to answer for your suspected sins (10/1-14). While President Obama offered his obvious reservations while signing this Bill into Law, this says nothing about the sentiments/reasoning of his Administration, Congress, the Military or the next Administration that gets into Office after his Term(s) are over… This also says nothing about the State/Local Government’s sentiments/reasoning in the Cities where we live. What this all translates into is this: Anyone who doesn’t claim a “Religion” but a Cultural Worldview and Nationality must be wiser in how/what you are openly advocating. I think many of us Black/Non-White People forget that we are historical prisoners of war. Black People in particular, many who didn’t migrate to this Country b.u.t. who’s Ancestors were brought here as Slaves, must be aware of this. In the 236 years the United States has existed, Black People were legally denied basic Human and Civil Rights to participate in this Society for 189 of those years. It wasn’t until 1965, a little over a Generation ago (47 short years) that Legislation was passed to end legal Segregation, on paper at least yet not in Principle nor in Perspective. In other words, we were and still are behind Socioeconomic, Religious, and Cultural Enemy Lines and anything we say/do has been and can be used against us in “their” Court of Law. From some of the Events that have occured in my Life as a Public Figure, I’m sure there’s a dossier in my Name and I’m also sure there’s dossiers in other People’s Names who are far less considerate of what they’re publically or privately saying/doing -whether they’re calling their antics entertainment or not. Also, with the recent Investigation into a possible 'Hate Crime' commmited against a God named 'Supreme' (Aakir Omar Ali) on January 3rd, it's important to be aware of our environment and how we may be open targets. Supreme was found face down burning alive off of Highway 64 in James City County Virginia and the only way of identifying him was via his dental records. The Police Dept. has released photos of his tattoos to generate possible leads/motives in this Case, and one of his tattoos was of our Universal Flag.

In closing, I urge all of you to be more mindful of the political shifts in this Society and what this may mean to you, your Family and your Community. Check out Political Blogs, News Coverage and even strive to attend your Local Council Meetings. Little by little, become more knowledgeable of your Local, State and National Politics. This is especially important to those who can be considered “20 miles outside”, living on the Cultural fringes of this Society (21/1-40). Since 9/11, America has become more Patriotic than it’s ever been and anything that remotely sounds like you don’t like baseball or apple pie can have People advocating for one common cause to chase you out of town like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Some of us confuse National Pride with Cultural Menticide. Yelling to the top of our lungs about who we claim to be while unassuming People stand around trying to figure out what size target to put on our back is not a question of Pride... If you are a so-called Revolutionary, that military strategy is equivalent to standing unarmed in an open field screaming for the enemy to come and get you. As I’ve stated, Non-White People, especially Black People have been behind Enemy Lines since we’ve been in this Country. The Historically ‘belligerent’ and ‘hostile’ treatment we’ve received as Groups of People shows & proves this to be the rule, not the exception. This has been the Racial Paradigm and Power Dynamics between the Ruling Class and Underclass within this Society since its inception (3, 4/1-10). Therefore much of the Legislation, Policies being and Procedures being implemented does not consider the Underclass. A Company called Hibernia Atlantic has decided to build a $300 Million Dollar Transatlantic fiber optic cable that will give Companies a 60 millisecond ‘Inside Trader’ advantage of information being transferred overseas. Why mention this? Because Project Express will accelerate Wallstreet (and the Global Market), impact/modify the strategies of The Occupy Movement, and alter the Sociopolitical landscape on the State/Federal levels. At the beginning of 2012 many States, mostly Southern, legalized Mandatory Voter Photo ID Laws. Although it’s been reasoned that this will ensure less of a chance for Voter Fraud, which wasn’t significant enough to even propose this type of Law in the first place, this Legislation will obviously suppress the Voting capabilities of those People who either don’t have a Photo ID or find it very difficult to secure one; the Elderly, Minorities and Youth. All you need to do is check the Racial/Age Demographics in the States that were most adamant about getting this Law passed… The bottom line is when we are unaware of these Societal shifts, us, our Family and our Communities become vulnerable to the legal consequences of this ignorance. This is not a call to assimilate, hide, live in fear or be spooked out. This is a call for us to be more aware of our Status, the Politics and the Socioeconomic Climate of the Society we live in. We will be better prepared to address Legislation, Policies and Procedures being implemented that does not consider us or may even target us. Ignorance isn’t bliss, Ignorance is a risk to your life, the life of your Family and the livelihood of your Community.

2012 and beyond...!

Reflecting upon 2011 and looking towards the next Gregorian Calendar Year, I just wanted to take a moment to share some of my thoughts with all of you… First and foremost, I want to THANK all of you who have invested time in reading my Articles, Researching the Links/Information I share via my Facebook Page, checking out and subscribing to my Youtube Channel (A.S.I.A. TV), purchasing my Literature/Music, connecting with me and just communicating with me in whatever capacity we’re able to. It is very much appreciated!! The numerous dialogues, testimonials, letters, questions and constructive advice I receive on the daily lets me know that what I do is not in vain b.u.t. is serving my intended Purpose; encouraging positive growth & development. There are also many People I’ve had the pleasure of meeting for the first time and others I’ve had the opportunity to build/rebuild relationships from all over the World. None of us are in each others lives by chance, and I look forward to what these bonds continue to positively produce for the future. You are also all very much appreciated!! 2011 has been one of my more productive, progressive and positive Years. My Queens are doing very well, I’m very happy about our state of Health and there were many things I was able to consistently and successfully accomplish. As far as Resolutions are concerned, I don’t have any. I am a work in progress so I’m always exploring ways to improve myself so that I can be a greater Resource to others. Living a way of life that includes the phrase ‘striving for perfection’ as a part of its premise is the essence of any/all Resolutions. Therefore, I will continue being as resolute as I have been.

For those of you who’ve made Resolutions for 2012, here are some points to consider and apply that will help you achieve your Goals in this upcoming Year:

* Although it’s your Resolution not anybody else’s, your Resolution should be something that improves (progresses) you with the intent/consideration of making you a better resource to others and this World you share. Life is interdependent, we all play a role in how the World turns and there is a constant process of giving and receiving. This ensures that your Resolution is something that is sustainable because you are actively providing a service that others and the World needs. If all you’re thinking about is what you can get and not what you’re able to consistently give, what you’re getting will eventually run out; try it with your breath and see what happens.

* Make sure your Resolution is real and obtainable. It’s less likely you’re going to change EVERYTHING at once so work on what you can, alittle at a time. Also, take things one day at a time. It took awhile to create habits and it’s going to take time to change them. The smaller Goals you are able to accomplish serve as stepping stones and helps you build confidence and gain the experience to achieve larger Goals.

* Make your Goals specific. Instead of saying something like, "I’m going to read more" say something more specific like "I am going to read two Novels every Month". This is called Specificity and it not only helps you better focus on your Goals, but it encourages you to be more responsible, committed and accountable for your Goals. If you were to say, "I want to be healthier in 2012" there is no sense of ambition or plan of action to achieve that Goal. Now if you said, "I am going to only eat baked chicken once a week and go to the gym twice a week for 1 ½ hours" that has a sense of ambition and provides part of a plan of action to achieve your Goal of being healthier in 2012.

* Set a projected Time/Date for your Goals. Setting a Time/Date creates a sense of urgency, responsibility and accountability to meet your Goals. If you don’t meet your Time/Date then set another one. Without setting a Time/Date then we’re saying our Goals aren’t really a priority (important) because under these circumstances they can happen any Time and any Day. That is not resolute.

* Write down your Resolutions. I’ve known People who had challenges with organizing their day, appropriating their time and focusing on achieving their Goals. One of the solutions was writing down these Goals on index cards or signs and posting them in visible places around their home. This helped reinforce/remind them of their Goals so they don’t allow themselves to get lost in the hustle & bustle of the day.

* Only share your Resolutions with those who have shown themselves to be supportive of you fulfilling them! If they’re not there to help then they’re going to hinder.

* Look into Networking with People/Organizations that will help you fulfill your Goals. If you want to cut back on the substances you’ve been using like Drugs/Alcohol, reach out to Local/Regional/National Organizations that specifically deal with Drug and Alcohol Abuse.

* Keep a Positive Outlook! Some days it will be easy to maintain a level of positivity and other days you need ‘social equality’ (fellowship) with others -who share the same Goals and are just as resolute as you are about positivity. This means, whatever Religious, Cultural or Secular Organization you are a Member of or Affiliated with, invest the time to be there and learn as much as you can about the positive Principles/Values they’re sharing with you. This is part of your foundational Network and will help you maintain a Positive Outlook when you need the support, which we all do.

* Your Resolution is not the end all be all. Some People live to have a Wedding while others strive to be Married have a Family and etc.. While the former is a Place, the later is a State. So although your Resolutions may help you arrive at a place, the ultimate Goal should be to achieve a State of Existence. And this State of Existence should set the stage to make other Resolutions to achieve even higher/greater Goals! It’s all about constant growth and elevation, not stagnation. Life is constantly changing & evolving and so should the living.

In closing, I want to wish every one of you and your Families a very safe, happy, healthy and productive 2012!! I also will that while reflecting on this past Year, we consider those negative things we've held fast to that has not only destroyed our ability to unify with others, b.u.t. has undermined our ability to accomplish anything significant on our own. If we think/know we have offended, wronged or hurt somebody then take advantage of this moment in time to apologize. If you think/know you've been offended, wronged or hurt by somebody then take advantage of this moment in time to forgive. Begin your New Year with the right mindset, on the right foot while making the right decision to move forward. We’ve all had challenges within ourselves and with others this past Year and I will that 2012 is much more positive and progressive for us all!

Peace,
Saladin

The Black Church

When it comes to GOD, my Cultural Worldview is what I choose to subscribe to. As a Person who is a part of a Group of People who subscribe to this Perspective, we are not in the business of converting, convincing, or coercing People to cee things our way. We are not Religious nor are we Missionaries. We are Civilized People who encourage eachother and others to be studious, discover answers for themselves and take nothing on face value -including what we share and know to be an actual fact. We respect and teach tolerance for other People’s Religious/Cultural Worldviews and we won’t allow/accept other People using their Religious/Cultural Worldviews to disrespect or be intolerant of us. This, of course, is the more “mature” way in which our Culture is expressed when we’re dealing with People who have different Religious/Cultural Worldviews. Keep in Mind that this “mature” expression of our Culture IS NOT a reflection of everyone who considers themselves a part of our Group (The NGE). While some People are growing/developing at their own rate there are others who aren’t and have no intention to grow or develop. I’m sure anyone can understand and appreciate this; ceeing that these same immature elements also exist in their own Religious/Cultural Community.

When I was young, unsure, and still striving to solidify my Cultural Worldview, I did quite a bit of debating and challenging others Religious/Cultural Worldviews. It was an exercise of Egocentricity and not much came out of those encounters. These weren’t “dialogues” or “intellectual discourses” between People sharing Perspectives to learn from one another. These were battles to prove who’s right, who’s wrong and to show who had superior Knowledge; immature behavior you expect to cee from children, NOT Adults… -smh- Even to this day, People still strive to bait me into one these “Us vs Them”, “Me vs You” Jousting Matches, b.u.t. I’m much wiser about involving myself in these Games nowaday. While speaking on the subject of Jousting, one of the biggest targets I’m ceeing within the so-called Conscious Community continues to be The Black Church and Christianity as a whole. I definitely understand and can appreciate the "Theological" concerns many People -particulary Black/Non-White People- have about Christianity, b.u.t. the outright disrespect for The Black Church itself, and someone's Belief System, I do not support or agree with. This is why…

Historically speaking, The Black Church has been and continues to be “The First”, “The Oldest” and one of the only Black Institutions Black People still have here in America. During the Reconstruction Period in this Country AFTER Black People were legally freed from Slavery, The Black Church served as a Socioeconomic ‘Sawmill’ that helped us establish, build, and rebuild our Communities. One such example of this rebuilding process was the central role the Mt. Zion Baptist Church played after the May 31st, 1921 Tulsa Race Riot burnt our Historic Black Wallstreet down to the ground. Even though this newly erected Institution was completed only a year earlier, after being destroyed by Whites during the Riot, the Congregation came together to rebuild it from the smoldering ashes it was left in. The Black Church was central to all of our people activities and reinforced our Ethics, Principles/Values, Social Norms/Mores, and Codes of Conduct. When Segregation was imposed upon us as a People, it was through The Black Church that we established a Support System/Network to produce Cultural Think Tanks, Educational Institutions, Businesses, Sports/Entertainment, Social Organizations, Social Clubs, Civil Rights Groups, and etc.. These Socioeconomic Entities did more than help us survive, they helped us THRIVE as a Group of People! When it comes to Social Norms/Mores, many of us wouldn’t even know what ‘Courting’ is/was if it wasn’t for our Church-going Elders down South! It was through the Black Church that we first learned forms of social responsibility/etiquette: like tending to the needs of the most vulnerable among us (our children, the mentally/physically disabled and our elders). In the Black Church we learned the importance of fairness, collective work and responsibility, respect for Family, chastity, and simply looking out for one another as a People. During these perilous times when America legally relegated our People to Second Class Citizenship and the Klu Klux Klan's Membership hovered around 3 million, it was The Black Church that became the Proverbial “Village” it took to protect and raise (grow & develop) the children who birthed the future generations of our People who are here today! It’s a huge oversight for any of our People to minimize, criticize, or satirize this long-standing Legacy of our People and the undeniable contributions The Black Church has made to produce many of the privileges we enjoy today. ANY PROGRESS (Morally/Ethically, Entrepreneurism, Community Activism and etc..) that we’ve ever made as a Group of People in America either directly involves or has some indirect association with The Black Church. There is no way to get around this fact.

The biggest issue we cee with The Black Church today is, generally speaking and with some exceptions, it no longer functions as the Socioeconomic nucleus of the Black Community. When "legal" Segregation ended in the 1965, many Black People started to “believe” we had all of these options and began to Integrate into a Society that never wanted us to be a part of it, by Law, for the last 189 years. Integration meant the Disintegration of many of our Black Think Tanks, Educational Institutions, Businesses, Sports/Entertainment, Social Organizations, Social Clubs, Civil Rights Groups and ultimately the Socioeconomic Influence/Integrity of The Black Church. Today, in 2011, when we’re looking at the variety of Black Churches around this Country, whether storefronts or mega churches, we’re looking at shadows of it’s former self... In my estimation, the dissatisfaction that alot of my People have with The Black Church today is a form of ‘Transference’ that’s often expressed as a Theological issue. The true source of much of our dissatisfaction is the lack of love, respect, comradery, and support we have for eachother today. So beneath the dissatisfaction, there's a general sense of disappointment, sadness, and even depression because we’re missing eachother and the sense of Community we once shared as a Group of People; a sense of Community that once revolved around The Black Church. Is this entirely the fault of The Black Church? I hardly believe that! As a matter of fact, there’s a reason many People in Church, especially our Elders who remember the times when we depended on eachother, say, “Sweety when you coming back to Church?” If you take the opportunity to actually listen to them, and their experiences, I’m sure you’ll find out that it's not a "Theological" request… It’s much more than that.

In conclusion, THIS IS NOT an Article about encouraging our People who no longer go to Church to go back to Church. This is an Article to address the ignorance and oftentimes blatant disrespect I cee that many of my People have for our own Legacy! Recognizing the Legacy and Socioeconomic Function of The Black Church in America is a very important part of our past, present and future. Because many of The Black Churches today, no longer function as the nucleus of our Community, many People have lost their faith and support in this Institution. Many Black Churches often reinforce these sentiments because instead of functioning as the great luminary that was once central to our Community, they promote elitism, materialism, individuality, and separatism from anyone who doesn’t believe as they do. Since my Ole Dad is friends with many Pastors/Deacons from different Churches within my City, at one point he approached them with the idea of them all utilizing the same Banking Institution to centralize/maximize our Economic strength as a People. Through this simple move, he said we could demand better Mortgage Rates, Business Loans, and etc… to help support our Interests and Building of our own Communities. This was many years ago and still hasn’t happened.

This Article is about the importance of building bridges, working together as a People, and advocating for the same common cause; Socioeconomic Empowerment. Although we all may not share the same Theological Views, one thing we have in common is our Legacy as a People. Just because I'm not at a Church, Mosque, Synagogue, or etc… every Week DOES NOT MEAN that I’m totally against the Religious/Cultural Worldview some of my People subscribe to. I’m actually for the best of whatever these Religious/Cultural Worldviews have to offer in regards to empowering us as a People. When it comes to the Religion of Christianity, some not all, of it’s core Teachings/Customs are derived from our Classical Civilizations -particularly Hebrew Culture. Many of our People have a misconception that Christianity was beat into "ALL" of our People as slaves and that's historically untrue! While some were definitely coerced/forced to accept a Christian Theology, many of our People were wise enough to recognize that many of Christianity’s core Teachings/Customs derived from our Classical Civilizations, and they openly embraced it. One such Man was Henry Highland Garnet; a 27 year old Presbyterian Pastor who delivered a fiery 1843 Speech Calling for a Slave Rebellion. Another such Christian Man was my Great-Great-Great Grandfather, a Minister, Josiah Henson; who escaped Slavery by taking his Family along the Underground Railroad up into Dresden Ontario Canada. In Dresden, Rev. Josiah Henson went on to survey and negotiate for the land to help found an entire Community, teach Financial Literacy, the Bible and establish a Educational/Vocational School called The British-American Institute. Here’s his Self Written Biography. Another unsung Hero amongst the many Men and Women who came out of the Church to fight for the rights of our People was Dr. Vernon Johns; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Predecessor, Civil Right Leader and Brainchild of the Bus Boycott.

I, like any Civilized Person, am against the slandering, petty debating, and mud slinging antics I cee many of my People engaging in because of our various Perspectives of GOD -especially Adults who consider themselves Conscious who should know a lot better than that! Instead of actually Building (relationships) many of us are more interested in and even take pride in Destroying (relationships) by making mockery of someone else’s Religious/Cultural Worldviews. There is nothing Righteous, Glorious, or Supreme about that; it’s actually uncivil and oftentimes barbaric! The bottom line to all of this is that we need eachother, always have and always will. We need eachother today, just like we needed eachother yesterday, and WE CANNOT ALLOW petty differences to keep getting in the way and stopping us from serving eachother’s needs; our survival and prosperity depends upon it. Regardless what Perspective we have of GOD (Divinity), it means nothing if we lack the will/ability to share that Perspective of GOD (Divinity) through how we treat one another. So I encourage all of us to refrain from all of this American Gladiator Mentality and begin thinking about ways we can work together to help bring an end to the crime, alcohol/drug addiction, amorality, homelessness, hunger, mis-education, poverty, family dysfunction, juvenile delinquency, and etc.. that continues to plague our Communities REGARDLESS what Perspective of GOD we have! It wasn’t The Black Church that put us in this condition, b.u.t. it’s the sense of Unity/Community, which The Black Church successfully demonstrated, that kept many of us out of that condition.

The Mysticism of Sound and Music
The Emerald Tablet

As some of you can cee by the image overhead, I released a Soundtrack entitled “The Emerald Tablet” and I’ve received quite a few questions about it; THANK-YOU! This Article will answer these questions and share some insight into my reasoning/inspiration behind this Project. These questions represent what I been asked most so here you go:

Why is it called “The Emerald Tablet”?
Well to give you alittle background: In Esoteric or Occult Circles, “The Emerald Tablet” is considered a sacred book said to have been written by the Neter (Deity) Tehuti of Ancient Khamit/Khemet (Egypt) or from the Ancient Masters of the Lost City of Atlantis. Said to have appeared out of almost nowhere, this God of Science & Math (Tehuti) gave Humanity this ‘Book of Life’ as a means of instruction because it supposedly held all insights of The Creator and Creation. During Medieval Times, this text was viewed as an Alchemy Manual and Alchemists oftentimes hung a copy of it in their laboratories. They viewed it’s hermetic contents as the ‘black elixir’ necessary to turn baser metals into gold. From a metaphysical perspective, this ‘black elixir’ was said to transmute the baseness of Man into the higher image and likeness of the true and living God.

Now, as a Creative Artist, I’ve always ceen Art as a symbolic ‘black elixir’ when it functions in a way to elevate (transmute) the condition and consciousness of People. I am conveying this idea with this Project. All of the Tracks on this Project were produced and recorded by me during different times of my life, different seasons and at different hours of the day. Actually there are even some Tracks like #13 (Doctor Waters) and #17 (Enterspace Nine) that I would recommend People experiment listening to through headphones, on repeat, while they go to sleep. Each track speaks a multitude of pages in my ‘Book of Life’ and will give my listeners an opportunity to experience part of an intimate/sacred Soundtrack to my life. Additionally, many People weren’t aware that I produce/record Music so I also wanted to allow them an opportunity to experience this dimension of me. I call “The Emerald Tablet” ‘The Mysticism of Sound and Music’ and that’s exactly what it is.

What Genre is “The Emerald Tablet”?
I consider any Music I produce/record as World Music and I always define it as a Soundtrack. Because Music is a universal language, I don’t limit this expression. When you listen to the Soundtrack you’ll hear influences from all over the World; from Irish Folk Music, HipHop, Classical Indian, Japanese and 1960’s Soul Music. Sometimes I’m inspired to do a Poetry piece, other times I’ll Rap. Other times I’ll do what can be considered Spoken Word and sometimes I won’t say anything at all. As far as the “Soundtrack” label is concerned, it’s background Music to the life I’ve lived or presently live. By defining it as such I want People to understand that sound a part of the colorful backdrop of our lives. All of us have certain “Theme Music” that when we hear it we’re teleported right back to that space and time when that sound made the deepest impression on us! It may be a Love Song, it may be a Party Song, it may be a Song that symbolizes a difficult time in our life. Whatever that visual impression it may be, this arrangement of sound (Music) conjures up images of page from our own ‘Book of Life’. So, even if I did want to define it as a specific “Genre” I wouldn’t even know what to call it! Lol It’s Music. -shrugs-

What is the Track “Could It Be We” about?
“Could It Be We” was a Song I wrote that was inspired by a Queen whom I met some years back. Although upon first glance I felt a deep connection to her beyond words, which wasn’t sexual, we went on to develop a relationship. My first line, “Wisdom Equality all being born to Be Universally In Love’s Destination” summarizes that relationship. It’s an acronym using Supreme Mathematics to spell “WE BUILD”, and from that premise we went on to share many experiences together. This was a point in my life where I truly learned the most about the intimate and sensual dimensions of Love. At one point in this Song I say "...and now it’s intense/hearts throb like ancestral drums/that beat from the floor of the Atlantic/it’s deep/discreet/divine/refined/giving sight to the blind/my Mind was in a timeless place/void of space where the heaven’s be/I thought/Could It Be We". This was one of the ways I strived to describe the depths of what I thought and felt about the bond we created. One of the most significant parts of this relationship is how Time simply stood still when we were together. The World itself became peripheral and every challenge, trial and problem that we encountered from this vantage point, was approached with an unshakable sense of confidence, security and optimism. This is without question what the “We” represents in the title of this Song. The “Could It Be” is the worldly doubt and insecurity that can creep in whenever vessels of this magnitude become separated on a physical plane. In other words, Love transcends the physical veils that separate us; it’s a journey of reunification with the essential source that bonds us. Sometimes I think People find themselves in dimensions of Love like this and it’s a frightful place to be in. There were times we literally experienced a level of fusion; junctures where we truly became one being, not two separate selves striving to learn about or be as one. It reminds me of the lyrics Minnie Riperton said in her Song ‘Inside My Love’, “Two strangers/not strangers/only lacking the knowing/So willing/feeling/infinite growing”. This sense of intuitive oneness, and the process of learning effective ways to sustain this state of existence, is what you’ll feel and hear in this Track.

What is “Gods In Plain Clothes” about?
This Track showcases not only my lyricism b.u.t. also the intention of my lyrics as a vehicle of my way of life. The first verse is about my cultural credentials and I start off by saying, “I know how deep the rabbit hole goes”. This is to let People know that gaining KOS (Knowledge of Self) and being on this journey of Self Realization is like being in Wonder Land. Not the type of hallucinogenic Wonderland ‘Alice’ was in, b.u.t. a Land of “Wonder” because now we’re in a place where critically examining what we’ve been taught and are now learning typifies this uncharted terrain. In my second verse I describe an experience of someone who claims they want KOS who came amongst me. I talk about their disposition, what I assessed about them and how I responded to their approach. It’s definitely important insight for anyone who has or is striving to educate someone. Also, when People hear about The NGE (The Nation of Gods and Earths) and particularly “The Gods”, they either have this image in their Minds of Clash of the Titans or Characters from the TV Show Heroes with mythical powers when they think about who we are. Lol With “Gods In Plain Clothes”, I wanted to give People a more realistic image of what our Culture is practically about.

When did your Musical Career start?
Even though I come from a Family with a Musical Background, I never actually learned to play any particular instrument proficiently. I’ve always had a profound love for Music and my first public Performance was in front of a couple hundred People at the tender age of 12. My Name was “Chilly C”; a beat-box prodigy for my older sister MC “Double K” while we performed in the Talent Show at our Annual Black Experience. I still remember the crowd and glaring lights. My Grand Ole Earth and my Old Earth played Piano. When my Ole Dad was in Junior High he was the Bass Player in a Band called “The El Morocco’s”. He also loved Jazz, Jimmy McGriff in particular, that ole Hammond B3 Organ, and collected a lot of Albums; which I took with me when I went away to College. So I’ve been around these elements of Culture all my Life and it was only natural that I would grow to develop a means of exploring and expressing these elements. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my journey into Music production/recording began in 1985; I was 10 years old scratching Albums on a dusty record player and using a radio and a tape recorder to loop breaks in beats on 60 minute Maxwell tapes. When HipHop first hit me I was electrified!! The Music, the Art, the Dance and the Cultural Expression itself moved me in a way that Instruments and no other music Genre could!! This Era is called ‘The Golden Age’ for a reason. Through the years I’ve always maintained an intimate relationship with HipHop. The Albums I collected, the Rhymes I recited and the Rhythms I hummed painted a colorful musical backdrop on a canvass called my childhood. Fast forward to the early 90’s and I decided I wanted to start producing/recording Music. I was already writing/reading Poetry (prior to the Spoken Word Genre), writing Rhymes and performing my work at Coffee Houses, so now I wanted to get involved in the Music. I had no formal training, never even touched production equipment before and began to do research on what I needed in order to express the Music I was hearing in my head. One of the first things I did was purchase Magazines with equipment in it. Once I had my Mind set on what I wanted to get I cut some of the pictures out and taped them on my bedroom Wall. Even though I didn’t have the money for this expensive equipment and was working as a Door to Door Salesman at the time, I had a “Determined Idea” and knew that I would get it one day. The reason I posted these pictures on my Wall was to program my Subconscious Mind; I would cee these images every morning I woke up, whenever I went into my room and before I went to bed at night. So along with Creative Visualization, Research, Hard Work and taking advantage of the doors (opportunities) that opened up for me production/recording wise, I was able to successfully do what I set out to do.

Who are your greatest Musical inspirations and why?
Wow! I have some many! Lol First and foremost I gotta give a shout out to my Enlightener’s Enlightener ‘Life Justice’ who has helped broaden my scope and appreciation for Music in a way that’s unimaginable! He’s hipped me to Bob Dylan, who is in fact one of my favorite Writers, and various other Artists and Genres that I never even considered or even thought about. During his College Years he did a Radio Show called ‘Wings of Expansion’ that featured various types of Music. I’ve never met anyone with such eclectic tastes and he’s definitely made a huge impression on me. As far as lyricism is concerned, hands down The GZA. I love the precision and technical nature in which he constructs his lyrics where every word is emphatic. I love the visual imagery of Ghostface. I love the wit and effortlessness of Jay Z. I love the heart/passion of Tupac and I love the honesty/humility of the new Artist Stalley. Music Production wise I’ve been inspired by Artists like Isaac Hayes, Barry White, 4th Disciple, George Duke, Pete Rock, Roy Ayers, The RZA, Jagjit & Chitra Singh, Tru Master, Ultimate Spinach, DJ Premier, Quincy Jones, The Large Professor, Sly and The Family Stone and Fela Kuti to name a few.

How is the Album sales?
They’re excellent! I didn’t really expect the type of support I’ve been getting thus far from the little bit of Promotion I’ve done and I'm really appreciate that! People that aren’t really into Music sometimes have a skewed view of putting an Album out though, especially if they’re only aware of Top 40 Music. Some of the responses I’ve gotten from People is that it kinda conflicts with their preconceived ideas when they cee an actual Album you’ve created. Many People think you need a Major Record Company, a Commercial on TV and to be on '104 and Park' in order to have a legitimate Album you can purchase through legitimate Stores around the World. Lol To them, if you have a brunt copy of a CD with a name written on it in black marker that’s more visually in sync with what they expect to cee. Although I do not have the Distribution that a Major Record Label has, anyone anywhere in the World can still order my Soundtrack at any Store you can purchase Music. I’m essentially selling Music out of my digital trunk. Another misconception that People have is that because you put out an Album your goal and intention is to go Platinum. I’m sure that is some People’s actual intention, in the same way that some Writers are writing to win a Pulitzer Prize. Some People are also creating for the sole purpose of making money. Well I’m not and have never been that type of Creative Artist/Writer. Although these are talents I was naturally born with and have developed with hard word and help along the way, my greater purpose is to create a Legacy for Cultural Sustainability. In other words, I do what I do in order to make my personal contribution to Civilization and to help make this World a better place for the generations to follow. This is why with all the things that I do you never cee me constantly pushing People to financially support what I do. I produce it and there comes a time/opportunity where I think People will be able to benefit from what was produced, even when I’m no longer here! Those who are seeking it will ultimately find it, even if it’s 5 years from now and I’m comfortable with that. For those who are and have been supportive of the things I do, I appreciate it very much, and I think one of best ways to show my appreciation is to continue being a resource/asset to help elevate (transmute) the condition and consciousness of People.

What’s next?
Well I recently invested in another microphone so I’ve definitely been doing some production/recording. As far as what's next, I personally don’t talk much about what I’m going to do, hope to do, want to do, might do and I’m dreaming about doing. I’ve found out that exposing premature ideas to the public is like exposing a newborn baby to the elements. I mean, even with “The Emerald Tablet” Soundtrack, no one had a clue about it; I just put it out! Over the years I’ve learned to operate in this way and I’ve been able to accomplish many long and short term goals by not talking about it b.u.t. being about it. I will say this, with the type of life I lead I’m always doing something and there’s never a dull or boring moment. So you can expect to cee various other Projects in 2012 that I’m directly/indirectly involved in making manifest.

Effective Communication
(TRC)

Whatever conflict we have with a person, lying beneath that discussion is always a Trust, Respect and Confidence (TRC) issue. If someone is late picking you up from somewhere an argument may begin about “being late” b.u.t. the underlying issue, because of their actions, you question how Trustworthy they are, how much Respect they have for your time and how much Confidence you can have in them to be pick you up the next time. Granted there may be legitimate reasons why they were late, yet this situation still diminishes the level of Trust, Respect and Confidence between you; especially if this is a habitual thing. Suppose you don’t do the dishes or clean something up around the house. You and your Companion may get into an argument about “the dishes” or “cleaning up”, yet the underlying issue is how your actions, or lack thereof, has made them question how Trustworthy you are as a Partner, how much Respect you have for the Home you share, and how much Confidence they have in you helping out.

The 21st Letter in our Supreme Alphabet is “U” and this is symbolic to ‘You’ or ‘Universe’. Universe is also U-NI-Verse, You and I Verse or “You and I converse (communicate)”. In other words, this tells us about the importance of Communication and Interrelationships. Communication is the ability to transfer/receive verbal and nonverbal data between People. Within a Culture, the vehicle we use to Communicate is language and body language. The Universe is everything, and everything is Interrelated (connected). Therefore, everything is always communicating, transferring/receiving Data in order to maintain an endless Circle of Life/Death. If is hasn’t been communicated to us that it’s -10° outside and we send our child out with shorts on, what will be the consequences? Suppose we saw a wild animal in our backyard and approached it -b.u.t. the dangers of rabies was never communicated to us? What can happen when the spoilage date on some food isn’t communicated on its packaging? Imagine you got up super early and rushed to get to Class only to get there and find out it was rescheduled it; you didn’t get the email… If Communication is important in these situations, imagine how important Communication is our most intimate bonds; Relationships.

Whenever we find ourselves in a conflict with one another, in a disagreement or a heated debate, find out what Trust, Respect and Confidence issues we are trying to Communicate. It’s not about “the car” someone didn’t put gas in they were allowed to use, it’s a Trust, Respect and Confidence issue of how they handled the situation, regardless what the object was. Lets talk about how the handling of a situation has lessened the Trust, Respect and Confidence we have between eachother and what we need to do in order to restore/increase that Trust, Respect and Confidence! If we are not approaching conflicts, a disagreement or a heated debate from the perspective of You and I Verse or “You and I converse (communicate)”, we will find ourselves expressing ‘You and I “vs/versus”’, where it becomes a battle to prove who deserves the most Trust, Respect and Confidence. An example of this would be an argument starting about “the dishes” going into somebody getting off at 5pm and not coming home until 6:30pm, the Event the other person missed last Spring, the female who’s always smiling up in your face at work, to her single girlfriends you don’t like… ALL of this goes back to Trust, Respect and Confidence issues that are "a fine mist our naked eye can hardly detect" (8/1-40). By approaching our conflicts in this matter, it then becomes a question of how legitimate or illegitimate these Trust, Respect and Confidence issues are. Sometimes a person honestly didn't know or they may be culturally insensitive. This is alot more productive than arguing with someone about leaving one sock in the dryer or why you didn't return somebody's phone call. We may find out that it's not legitimate and they/we have Trust, Respect and Confidence issues "regardless to whom or what" (11/1-14). Communicate!

I once experienced a situation where a person made a selfish decision where I questioned how much I could Trust them, the level of Respect they had for others and my Confidence in them to do the right thing in the future. The irony is that when I was in the same situation before them, I chose to make decisions that they could Trust, Respect and have Confidence in, so I had more Trust, Respect and Confidence in them to reciprocate the care/consideration. We briefly talked about the surface issue yet never addressed the Trust, Respect and Confidence issues that were created based upon how they chose to handle the situation. Maybe if I would have better communicated (21: You and I verse/converse) that it wasn’t about “the car” itself, b.u.t. how they chose to handle the situation about the car, we could have come to a better Understanding (3). 21 being the inverse of the 12th Letter (L; Love), maybe this would have given them an opportunity to be more introspective about how Trust, Respect and Confidence are elements of Love we claimed to have for one another. Maybe if I would have used the actual words ‘Trust’, ‘Respect’ and ‘Confidence’ to describe how their personal actions diminished our Bond, they would have ceen (3) what I was saying and we could have resolved the conflict and disagreement that turned into a heated debate. I use the word “maybe” because sometimes you can tell a person about how their actions diminished the level of Trust, Respect and Confidence between you and they simply can’t cee it. Sometimes we can’t cee it when someone tells us that. It’s possible that they/we can be that Hedonistic or Narcissistic where they/we have a difficult time forming real bonds of Trust, Respect and Confidence with others. If they/we are changing social circles like musical chairs every few years, they/we can never seem to maintain a Relationship for more than a few years, and it’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault why they/we no longer talk to People, this is probably the case…

In conclusion, when I was a child my Parents always coordinated Family Meetings and “Communication” was a buzzword in my household. This is what kept us close, strengthened our bonds and gave us an opportunity to learn how to Trust, Respect and have Confidence in one another. We learned how to get past surface issues and discuss what we’ve done or what was done to us to diminish the level of Trust, Respect and Confidence we had for one another. Most importantly, we learned about what we needed to do in order to restore/increase that Trust, Respect and Confidence! I appreciate my Parents for having the wisdom/foresight to provide me and my siblings with these tools. In any Bond, the highest Value lies within that Relationship, so the willingness/ability to communicate (Word) our Trust, Respect and Confidence issues is an important part of securing that Bond, especially when these are Relationships for Life (11/1-14). Effective Communication is what makes these Relationships not only possible b.u.t. also enduring. On the flip side, Effective Communication also allows you to cee if People are willing/able to be invested in an enduring Relationship. Because it’s impossible to Value a Bond where the actions of one or both People continually diminish the Trust, Respect and Confidence in that Relationship... until there is no, thing, left…

Historiography
The Science of History

When you ask the average person about History, they’ll ramble off some dates that describe events as “something that happened in the past”. Even though this is a very linear way of looking at History, most People still fail to connect the dots of how these past events helped shape the present and potentially the future.

Take a brief moment to look around you… If there’s food around you that’s History because it was made in the past, willfully a short time ago. Even if it’s fresh, it either grew in the past or it’s ingredients came from the past. There are hundreds of children who die from food poisoning each year because someone neglected to read the spoilage date on a food item… Every thing you’re wearing right now was made in the past. Even if you sewed it today, the materials were made in the past. The device you’re using to read this Article, all of the objects around you, the Building you’re in right now or Building’s you cee around you were all made in the past. Even the Plants and Animals; they too grew from the past. In School we were taught that History is a separate subject. The reality is, all subjects, and their methodologies, are Historical. If it’s Math, its Arabic Numerals and methods were made in the past. Science? All of their definitions, processes, discoveries, and observations were made in the past. Even Physical Education (Gym) is History because somebody came up with jumping jacks! So you cee, History is not dates about past events, History is a present day reality wherever we go and there is no way around it. History (the past) is in, on and around us. As a matter of fact, what you are reading at this very moment is a past event! -smile-

“Historiography” is the critical examination of past events for the purpose of accurately writing History. Historiography is a forensic approach towards the writing of History, not the glossed over stuff we’ve been taught since Elementary School. The reason there’s even a word called “Historiography” is because People understood the importance (value) of recognizing how events of the past shape and mode the present and ultimately our future. More importantly, People realized how ‘Psychohistory’ predetermined History. The structures that were built in the past, which is every building you cee around you, were designed according to specific dimensions (length, width, and depth). Because you are inside of these structures you are subject to conform to these dimensions. If there’s a stairwell you simply have to utilize it to get upstairs, if there’s not a door there you can’t walk through the wall, and etc.. If we no longer want to conform to these dimensions then we can modify this structure to suit our needs; yet we still have to conform to the rules, regulations, and building materials (from the past) that we will be using to modify this structure. Another option is building from the ground up and making our own structures! Well keep in Mind that any past event is a structure just the same. These intangible events are structures composed of ideas, inventions, experiences and attitudes that produce the Psychological and Socioeconomic dimensions of today. And like a building, we too are subject to conform to these ideas, inventions, experiences and attitudes that determine the dimensions of today and potentially our future. So our very existence depends upon our ability to process/interpret how these past events, that are in, on and around us, affect our lives today and can possibly shape our future.

In a Society of tangible and intangible structures that were made in the past, we must ask ourselves, "How do they shape the Psychological and Socioeconomic dimensions of today?" As I’ve said, these ‘tangible’ (buildings, materials, and objects) and ‘intangible’ structures (ideas, inventions, experiences and attitudes) are in, on and around us! Those who don’t care to critically examine these past events (structures) are ill equipped to Psychologically and Socioeconomically process/interpret the present reality we exist in. In other words, if you don’t know where something came from, it’s impossible to know where it’s at, where it should be, or where it’s potentially going! Suppose that 'thing' you don’t know about is your Self… Wherever you cee People who lack a sense of Historiography, who possess a topical idea of History, you’ll cee a People who are vulnerable and “easily led” (14/1-40). The Occupy Wallstreet Movement that’s going on at this present moment reflects a great majority of this segment of our population, and it’s a beautiful thing ceeing People critically examining where things came from, are, and can go!

One thing I’ve realized for a while now and more recently in everyday conversations or even FB discussions People, is that they don’t Mind discussing how Jimi Hendrix shaped/molded the present day reality of Rock Music, how The Fab Five Freshman changed the uniform landscape of Basketball, or how NOW (National Organization for Women) helped modify the gender roles of Women in America today. Yet when it comes to those past events that happened over a period of generations like The Genocide of Native Americans, The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, Chattel Slavery, Segregation, Institutional Sexism/Racism, Colonialism, and etc.. People, Black & White alike, start acting strange… Instead of actively engaging in a process of critically examining these past events, like they’re clearly doing everything else, they either avoid it, deny it, run from it, hide from it, or even attack you for bringing these things up. It’s like while everything else is valid, they don’t even want to consider how the ‘tangible’ (buildings, materials, and objects) and ‘intangible’ structures (ideas, inventions, experiences and attitudes) made from “these” past events determine the Psychological and Socioeconomic dimensions of the today and potentially our future. The fact that “these” past events usually didn’t even happen to the People (Caucasians) who don’t want to even think about it tells you something in it of itself… It also tells you a lot about their level of consideration, respect, and ultimately love for those People (Black/Non-White) who’s Ancestors directly experienced these past events. Again, if you don’t consider where something came from, it’s impossible to consider where it’s at, how you should treat it, or where it’s potentially going. Does that make sense?

Now how can we began to look at History as Historiography? One of the obvious things to consider about being willing/able to critically examine History is that People have to be studious, courageous, and honest about what they’re discovering. Oftentimes, many of the ‘tangible’ (buildings, materials, and objects) and ‘intangible’ structures (ideas, inventions, experiences and attitudes) we come across are hurtful, painful, shameful, and etc.., yet we must be willing/able to accept these things as a valid location on the map of Human Geography. A Map that gives us greater insight into many of the Psychological and Socioeconomic dimensions we may/may not conform to today. This is why it’s important to engage ourselves in this process, because our Families and our Communities will undoubtedly benefit from this insight. I am a living example of this and I can’t thank my Parents enough for educating me and my siblings about how past events not only help shape our present day realities, b.u.t. how this insight empowers us to change/modify these past structures or build new one’s to meet the needs of a brighter future for our Family, Communities, People, and Humanity.

In closing, I want to address those of us who have this “Island-like” Philosophy when it comes to ourselves and our Relationships (27/1-40). The belief, feelings, or ideas that the problems going on with “other” People, in “other” Families, and in “other” Communities has nothing to do with you is a very selfish, uneducated, flawed lens to view the World through. First of all, you do not stand alone because you most likely didn’t even produce the toilet paper you used today. Even if you actually did, there are many People who made a collective contribution so that product (toilet paper) could become a reality. Even our very physical existence hinged upon the contributions of a Mother and Father, so it’s impossible to get around the fact that we are all here because of others; directly and indirectly. Now think about the illogic in such Philosophies like, “I don’t care what anybody thinks”, “I’m doing me”, and “This is MY relationship and I don’t care what anybody says”, etc… Think about how selfish this thought process is when these Individuals and Relationships are being FULLY SUPPORTED by the contributions of past events and sacrifices of others; ‘tangible’ (buildings, materials, and objects) and ‘intangible’ structures (ideas, inventions, experiences and attitudes). To live a life where we are consistently receiving from others…, yet we are not sharing/giving in return or may even care less about what others feel/think is absolutely unacceptable. Imagine how long we’d live if everybody else embraced that same Philosophy… Imagine where we would be if everybody said, “The problems going on with ‘other’ People, in ‘other’ Families and in ‘other’ Communities has nothing to do with me”… The bottom line is this: The Universe (everything) is Interdependent and one of the keys to obtaining true Peace, Harmony, Equality, and Sustainability is our willingness/ability to recognize that we are all connected and rely upon the alternating currents of all of us giving/receiving in this World; regardless if we are in a Major City or a Remote Village. So any Individual or Relationship that holds fast to Philosophies like, “I don’t care what anybody thinks”, “I’m doing me”, and “This is MY relationship and I don’t care what anybody says”, etc… have put themselves in a position to get blindsided by the Universe, because everything is Interdependent, including these Individuals and Relationships. When we are accurately examining History (Historiography), we are considering the Interdependence of TIME; the interrelationship between the past, the present and the future. Therefore, when we don’t consider these interrelationships, it’s only a matter of TIME before these Individuals and Relationships are forced to bear witness to this Interdependent reality; a reality check that always happens at a TIME we least expect it! So start engaging in some of these tough discussions about past events we’ve been selectively avoiding and in denial about. We cannot afford to be apathetic and/or ignorant to these things because these Attitudes/Perspectives will continue to produce serious consequences for our future generations. We need to learn from one another about ways WE can solve the present World’s problems (Psychological, Socioeconomic, Political, Environmental, Educational, etc.) because they are clearly affecting ‘us’ all and potentially shaping ‘our’ future.

Transitions from Lost to Found

By Lord Life Justice

Last week my persons addressed a Queen who resides in Now Cee (North Carolina) who had questions about a segment in our Article On Proper Station Identification called "The Clash of Cultures". She quoted the following paragraph, "I was ‘Christianized’ (indoctrinated) long before being approach by a Wise Scientist who told me ‘the whole truth’. For a while, after agreeing with my Enlightener, I still had feelings that I was going to die and burn in hell for Blasphemy I was committing by saying I was God...", and asked th following questions, “Now, how does one overcome this Mindset? Better yet, how did you overcome this mindset?" Of course, we addressed the new born by text, but despite the elaboration, we felt there was more to say to give her the clearest picture which would be the understanding. After talking to myself in the form of Allah Saladin Quanaah, it was clear in the Universal Mind that we should express this as an Article because we are sure there are others who are suffering from this same dilemma, and devoting a posting to this issue would not only help one form of Self in the form of the Queen, but all others; thus satisfying this soul that we have done the best to add on to her and our cipher.

First of all Family, congratulate yourself for being in possession of a rare but significant quality that few possess: The staunch ability to commit your being to that which you know is true, and give all you have and all within your power to it. This devotion to that which you know is true, used correctly, will give you all you need to manifest your righteous will. I can say that-- because I have that said ability. I know you have it because only the ones in possession of it would think/feel the way described in my build. Meaning, one should be circumspect, to see if what they are doing is right and exact. Nothing is wrong with that. It is only wrong when it is misdirected. The feelings of thinking you are being blasphemous, is due to the fact that we were trained in the wrong way by some one we trusted. Our teachings tell us to never take anyone on face value; that all must show and prove. Even these Lessons should be checked within the context of their chronological and moral significance against what is known in the world concerning them. We must make sure they are right and exact before adding them on to our cipher, which is what we call the Universal Mind; in our "corner of the sky" [areas of the mind we are aware of from our experiences, understanding, etc]. As we inhale these ethers, we expand into the higher aspects of ourSelf, called Allah, based upon what we know. Be aware that Culture/ Freedom is how we add on to each other, in its various customs and expressions. To say that, "Culture is one's way of life," is a gross understatement when it comes to the contributions of Culture. Next to knowing, being wise, and gaining understanding, elaborations on Culture-- like Knowledge-- is an all expansive, inexhaustible subject. All that you have read thus far, have been in reality, just one article called Proper Station Identification; covering the recapturing of our Culture, in order to cultivate ourselves, based upon known facts and principles. The Clash of Cultures is what is afoot here. While we are striving to recapture our Culture, we come face-to-face with the facts that we were raised inside the Devil's civilization and its mixed signals is obviously interfering with us getting clear reception on our proper station in life. The brain is but our antennas, with the mind being the structural part of our consciousness to bring things into existence, but the proper way to view us is we are consciousness dwelling within a physical form.

Religion is one of the cultural means used in the past to tie us back to God. Religion literally means re- "back" and ligion- "to tie back" --like ligaments connect muscles--to the one that made all this possible, Allah (Self). We have a connection or path that solidifies the beginning to the end, the creation to its reason for living or being already in place. Nowadays, "religion" has been separated from "science" and that "separation"-- like the blasting of the moon from the earth-- causes some to act like LUNAtics and Religious Zealots/Fanatics; like when the moon is full, which brings receptivity like pregnancy, yoking, evoking, and fear. A receptive, susceptible or "Open Mind" must be protected by becoming certain. Knowledge is the foundation to that certainty. We must examine and confirm everything, before planting those thought-seeds in the garden of our Mind. Unfortunately, most Religions overemphasize how one must believe and have faith, in a way that does not allow for skepticism. Rituals are important, make no doubt about it! One of the rituals we all depend on is the inhalation and exhalation of the breath, known as breathing: We don't have to think about breathing because it’s automatic. Otherwise, I know the way I focus on things, my person would be blue in the face many times because of forgetting to breathe... LOL But before we put things on automatic, let's make sure they are right. Culture, through the area of customs and rituals, makes this possible. Like it is said, "Practice makes perfect." A lot of times this cultivation is like “a fine mist that the naked eye can hardly detect”. Suggestions, like water, increases with "other mists" and brings rain, hail, snow and earthquakes, because Culture is a systematic approach to cultivating Man, Woman and Child to the needs of the given Society. (8/1-40)

There are two Cultures manifested in this Society alphabetically: DIVINE OR DESTROY. What you are learning now is DIVINE, what you got before receiving this knowledge was DESTROY -in the form of TRICKNOWLEDGE, made to enslave our People. That kind of living works for what the Colored Man wants to do. And enslave is what these crafty Devils continue to do to the world population, making us other than ourselves. I had to come to grips with WHO gave me these suggestions, WHAT was the reason, WHEN it occurred, and WHY. These are all investigative techniques. This meant I had to put this Religion and Worship thing into its' proper perspective. In saying Culture, we are talking about the raising of a People through systematic means, engineered by the so-called "wisest" of their People (Sly Stone calls The Government or Western Culture "The System" in the Song "Everybody is a Star"). Culture also includes God and the Country's (Nation’s) relationship to the Creator (The relation-ship of the people under God's influence). In Culture, there are the People; their interaction (“social equality” 8/1-14); God and what God wills; and rituals designed to keep God & Man all tied together (Religion and the Scientific approach concerning God). Sometimes the rituals are secular: “laws, rules and regulations” (28/1-40). Sometimes the rituals are “religious” (5/1-14). Other times they are mathematical and scientific concerning God, technological and artistic (includes music, song, etc), as well as scholarly (literary works). All of these rituals should be designed to keep order in a civilized manner. However, concerning Religion, there is a difference between who wrote the Books (1/1-40) and the Organization around the interpretation of these Books. THIS, I came to know, as the folly of "organized religion".

This power to have faith [commitment and devotion to what you know] became manipulated and broken down into what you "believe" by a skillful manipulator. This manipulator was the Southern Baptist Minister or his Northern Black spin-offs. Belief in what you "believe" is always weaker than "the commitment to what you know to be true." Commitment in what you know is based on "confirmation and research", whereas "belief" is based on "what you are willing to follow" [the proper root definition of believe]. What you are "willing to follow" may or may not be true, but in Christian belief, the Minister tells you to "trust in the Lord," while you are really "trusting the Minister's words". For this God (mystery God) you never seen or heard except through what the Minister says about the Bible. Now I did not make a blanket statement and say what he told you (us) was wrong... only that you "trusted him on face value" instead of doing "research for confirmation" like you are now learning to do. Always remember that it is better to "know" than strictly "believe." That's like pretending that you possess wisdom, before you really know anything. When were you manipulated ["led in the wrong direction" or "fed the wrong foods" (14/1-40 and 10/1-36)]? If you were like my person, it was probably during our most uncritical thinking years; childhood. It was then that I was spooked out by the Minister’s theatrics. Psychologically, the Minister shocked us, placing himself into a Parent role with me, and like a scolding Parent, he cornering the Child mode in my consciousness into obedience, long before we learned mentally how to judge wisely. I didn't say everything you were told was lies, but of what you were told, you were told many half-truths and lies by omission (leaving out key parts. "Commitment to what you know, not what you believe or want to believe", is the aim here. That is the aim of any wise Scientists who teaches or builds with you. Shakespeare said, "The whole world's a stage, with all of us- mere players." So no matter how convincing Judges, Police Officers, Doctors, Ministers, Nurses or Cremators may be, it is still a role that they play, and they all put on their pants the same way you do.

In my childhood I was gripped by the 'fear dance' that Ministers do: hooting, hollering and theatric preaching. Whether Mason or not, these Minister’s “theatrics" date back to the plantation mentality, where the job of calming down the Black masses was given to special niggahs called "Spiritual Leaders"--a somewhat soul stirrer in his (and nowadays her as well) delivery. This dates back to the fact of the knowledge in the fourth degree in the one to thirty six: There have been many people who were enslaved on this Planet, but only the Black Man/Woman had everything taken from them "including their language." This act alone almost assures cultural genocide (annihilation) for those People whom this is done. Without a spoken language, artifacts, and written words, a Culture's very existence is questionable and definitely debatable. By doing this to us as a People, only the first generation who were enslaved would be able to remember their customs and culture as a whole. By the time he or she had babies to teach (slavery regulations), the slave owner would have sold their children to another plantation for profit. By doing so, this destroyed the integrity of family life of his property, not to mention the transmission of the family's original Culture to the Black babies (24/1-36) [Cee: Henry Highland Garnet: AN ADDRESS TO THE SLAVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA August 16, 1843]These babies, being in a new and strange environment, were gripped in fear and attempted to do whatever it took in order to survive. As it was customary not to sell/trade two or more fellow tribesmen or women to any one plantation or nearby facility, our Culture was systematically broken down and replaced with the slave master's as one of our only means of survival in this strange world (24/1-36). We even learned the White Man's language so that we could understand his orders and keep the whip off our backs. But in doing so, we could now communicate to other Blacks, not by Cultural similarities, but of the common hellish condition called Chattel Slavery. Within those thoughts concerning the trauma, pain, and indignities we suffered, we also entertained thoughts of freedom, justice, and equality; a.k.a. rebellion and uprising. [Cee: Black Rebellion; Eyewitness Accounts of Major Slave Revolts] Thus entered the special niggahs called “Spiritual Leaders” or Ministers. He was taught the White Man's religion, to replace the slave master or overseer preaching to his slaves on Sunday. His purpose was to be a counselor, mediator and go-between to quell rebellion and to be somewhat of a pacifier (maybe even a Snitch). Even to this day, when the White Man looks towards Black Leadership (like the Presidential Election), he seeks Religious figures like Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Martin Luther King (and I know while I'm building you probably saw Min. Louis Farrakhan in your third)... Preachers could convince you they were right, even when they were wrong, unsure, or when they really didn't know, but remember: It's just a role he or she plays.

While on the subject, we know that during chattel slavery, it was customary for a White Man to have his slaves dress him. Going to his Masonic Lodge meetings was no exception. Soon, these slaves were overhearing and seeing secrets of these Masons, so they were made sworn to secrecy, like with anything else they were exposed to, but their Black Lodges were closed from initiating others. Enter Prince Hall, Absalom Jones, and Richard Allen. However on a DVD called MASONRY REVEALED, these "hoodwinkers" tried to re-invent Prince Hall as a military personnel who got his TRICKNOWLEDGE in the union military by a White Military Officer. Now ask yourself, “Why would a White teach ‘a darkie’ that knowledge, especially during these times in American History? Out of the kindness of his heart...?!” So why are there Black and White Masonic Lodges? A regular member could not start another Lodge; only a Most Worshipful Master of the White Lodge can start another Lodge! If these Preachers are Masons, they are bound to the rules of the ninth degree in the one to fourteen, so they must reveal the truth, but the crafty Ministers camouflage the knowledge by emphasis on the wrong parts: [this is done “to conceal the true and living God and to make slaves out of the eighty-five percent by keeping him worshipping something he cannot see and he makes himself rich from their labor” (9/1-40)]. For instance, the Preachers say you are a child of God, right? Isn't the goal of upbringing for you to follow your Father and Mother's instruction? Emulate the way like your Parent's? Isn't it the goal of Parents to raise their children to emulate the awareness that made them who they are? Jesus and his Father are one and he is a child of God, why not you as well? Christian means to "imitate Christ" and Jesus is God, so why does the Minister not teach the People to be God-like? See, the words are there for the proper education, but Preacher Man puts a spin on it to keep his flock ready to be fleeced. He does this by keeping them worshipping something they cannot see, as opposed to building on a divine force that resides within the Black Man/Woman as our real identity and soul root. Preachers do all of this while showing us pictures of Jesus living way down in your heart... Black Ministers practice their "fire and brimstone act", which they use/used to scare us into that way [tricknowledge]... So we have nightmares and dreams of blasphemy. We have to be reasonable with ourselves: We were taught that as children and ignorant ones [24/1-36]. I am reasoning with the Adult in you to research it and talk rational to your inner Self. These investigative methods help confirm and add on what you know, not what you believe, think, feel, or trust someone saying.

Putting things into perspective, a lot of what is taught in “organized religion” is not in the wisdom Books in which their teachings are based. Just as what Jesus taught is not Christianity and its Protestant Religions have become (5/1-14). The teachings of the Church's, Temple's, Synagogue, Mosque's interpretation of theirs Books (Torah, Zohar, Bible, Qu'ran) becomes the main thrust of what they teach (28/1-36 and 5/1-14). And just like the episode with the (slave) Trader, following that type of advice can lead to dire consequences, causing you not know "who is causing all this to happen" (9/1-40). Stick to the Book and let the divine force within guide your eventual understanding. In my research inside the Bible, we saw Psalms 82. Within the 6th verse, we see: "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” This meant to me our Universal family was right: The most High is the Highest aspect of the real Self; the apex that we aspire to. Clean up to be as; “Holy means something that has not been mixed diluted or tampered with in any form” (9/1-14). No matter what form life comes in, life came from Allah, so this means Allah is Omnipresent; which means "everywhere" (37/1-40). And how can this be, if God and you were separate? How can He be in your heart? Then I Cor. 3:16 revealed:"Know Ye not that Ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" Knowing my body and me are not the same; the human form is the temple of my consciousness and soul, it was not hard to tell that Spirit of God should be analogous to my soul. And that my consciousness is my awareness of right, wrong and proper judgment. And behold no more feelings of blasphemy see, because that no longer made sense to me. But I did want to know why Preacher Man taught that? I saw in 12/1-40, "Because he desires to make slaves out of all he can, so he can rob them and live in luxury". When I learned the Asiatic Black Man wrote the Holy Qu'ran and Holy Bible, and these are Books of wisdom that dominate the thinking of the known world, I wanted to know how the White Man came to use it. Well, my person already knew the Bible was translated from the Hebrew writings and The Commandments were given by God to Musa. This work is called The Torah by some, Sepher of Moses by others, and its' secret teachings called Zohar. Passed onto Priests, other Hebrew writing or Books were added to become what is known as The Bible. More importantly, the wisdom was passed by Priests, all the way to Priest-King Samuel (two books), young David (who becomes King: Kings I, II), and his son, King Solomon. Later, we learned from our Lessons (9,10/1-14) that the secret training of Colored Men to learn the ways of the Qu'ran. I learned later that David also set these wheels in motion before Muhammad. It involved the King of Tyre, King David, and tutorship set up for Prince Solomon with one, Hiram Abiff. These were secret teachings. This is about Caucasian Freemasons (and Shriners) rise to power. Although the details to this would be considered important to some, suffice it to say, what God gave Moses or Musa (the adopted son-prince of the Shekhem of the Pharoah of Khamit [Egypt]) is the wisdom Books used to put the West where it is today. They are the Covenant and Sepher concealed as the Bible and the Qu'ranic civil code of Muhammad. What you, as the blasphemy-believer, need to know is even though they were given a chance (2,9/1-14), they would not keep and obey what Musa, Hiram Abiff, and Muhammad proposed (10/1-14). Later through the Lessons, I learned that Masons use substitutes for the truth, which is called "tricknowledge" (4/1-14) or hoodwinking. We battle for a free Man's Mind and Truth. They (Masons) teach to enslave by creating a need and role they will fulfill; which they make themselves rich from your labor. The wisdom used in the White Anglo Saxon Protestant's world, and the rest of the Western world is Eastern. Based on Books of Eastern consideration. They would not keep and obey the East's concepts. From Constantine to Roman, English, and Irish Catholicism, to various forms of Protestantism, they re-invent ways of being other than. Christendom used to be Europe's form of Government... is it now? Ever heard of Scottish Rite Mason? We teach of the God within, the West teaches about a remote mystery God who you can displease. We teach proper education and right and exact actions makes us more aware and closer to our true Self. The thought of blasphemy is a feedback loop, to block your escape from their hoodwink. The opposite to free and accepted, is enslaved and unaccepted into "their social equality" (8/1-14). It's like Matrix, Inception, and 'waking up is so very hard to do.' Think about it... if we were separate from God, we would be formed from something other than God and it would be a Polytheistic belief. An Omnipresent reality of God would be untrue. This is not what the world subscribes to. Neither is a concept of the true and living God right, when People are living a life of lawlessness.

Peace,
Universal

Love is Pain - Love Hurts

LOVE, like the word ‘Spiritual’, it’s one of the broadest and most ambiguous terms we use. So People have many different ideas about what Love is and how it functions. People look for Relationships based upon these ideas, form Relationships based upon these ideas, and seek to maintain Relationships based upon these ideas. Regardless what our ideas are about Love, one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves is, “Is my idea of Love a sustainable model for Relationships?” In otherwords, “Is my definition of Love built to last?”

Imagine if my Philosophy of Love was, “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”. Since such a Philosophy charts the course of my Life, this means is that in all of my Relationships I approach them seeking and anticipating some painful experience or the opportunity to get hurt. Why would I do this? Because according to my Philosophy, pain/hurt equals Love. This also means that if I’m not experiencing any pain/hurt in a Relationship, it must not be Love. A person who embraces this Philosophy tends to self sabotage good, stable, productive Relationships because it contradicts their Philosophy of Love. So instead of accepting the reality that their Philosophy is wrong, they’d rather destroy the Relationship to make their Philosophy “look” right... Another name for this Philosophy is Masochism, and many of our People who embrace it don’t even realize that the reason their Relationships don’t, won’t, and can’t last is because of this Philosophy. Again, we must ask ourselves, “Is my idea of Love a sustainable model for Relationships?”

There are basically two types of People who embrace this Philosophy:

1.) People who think/believe “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”, yet they still try to get into Relationships with others.
2.) People who think/believe “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”, and they shun Relationships with others because they don’t want to feel pain or be hurt.

Both of these People developed this Philosophy from personally going through or observing mental, emotional, financial, and/or physical abusive situations, and thus concluded that abuse (pain/hurt) comes along with the territory and validates Love. The fact that we, as Adults, can cee the obvious illogic and flaws in this Philosophy is an obvious indication that this person experienced/observed and came to this conclusion at very early part of their development: Only someone who’s lacking the cognitive, intellectual, and emotional maturity/ability to cee how illogical and flawed this Philosophy is would come to this kind of conclusion; a child. More often than not, they quietly made this conclusion so long ago that they don’t even recall when they made it –especially if there was severe trauma associated with experiencing/observing that abuse. From that point onward, their lives primarily consist of a series of abusive/self sabotaged Relationships or avoidance of Relationships altogether, as a means to find evidence to support this conclusion they already have: “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”. The only thing sustainable about a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy is the mental, emotional, financial, and/or physical abuse that a person seeks/anticipates. The only thing sustainable about being in a Relationship with someone who has a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy is the mental, emotional, financial, and/or physical abuse you will receive from them, or the mental, emotional, financial, and/or physical abuse you’ll be provoked to give them.

Within The NGE, “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” is obviously not a Philosophy we embrace. It is a complete contradiction to our Perspective of Love, and how Love functions to sustain model Relationships. Through our Cultural Curriculum, here are a few basic points we know and teach about Love:

L: 12th Letter in the Alphabet
First and foremost, the letter ‘L’ is a 90° angle; a Right Angle. There is nothing fundamentally right about Love resulting in pain/hurt. That’s equivalent to saying that mental, emotional, financial, and/or physical abuse is right… Since the #12 is comprised of Knowledge (1) and Wisdom (2), it takes a level of Awareness and Discernment (cognitive, intellectual, and emotional maturity/ability) to recognize that abuse is not Love. Initially, this is their greatest challenge because they haven’t grown to Understand (3) the illogic/flaw in a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy. Just like anyone who ‘commits’ and/or ‘accepts’ abuse in a Relationship, their greatest challenge is recognizing that this is not Love!

The letter ‘L’ also represents the Principle called ‘Love Hell or Right’, and this is exactly the stance we take upon coming in contact with People who embrace a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy; you can either Love Hell (pain/hurt), or Love Right. It’s meant to acknowledge the pain/hurt People may experience in Relationships yet it denies pain/hurt as an integral component or result of what Love ultimately is. A common phrase you’ll hear Gods/Earths express is, “Love is the highest degree of Understanding”, and it’s impossible to understand something, especially Love, when you’re in pain or hurt. If you ever had a toothache, cramps, an earache, death in the family, etc., you ‘understand’ exactly what I mean…

Some Gods/Earths have a misconception that ‘Love Hell or Right’ means one must accept Hell (pain/hurt) as a part of Love, in order for it to be Right. This is untrue and is more of reflection of a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy that they grafted onto our Cultural Worldview. What ‘Love Hell or Right’ does mean is that we must be Aware (1) and Discerning (2) enough to avoid these kinds of Philosophies that entertain the idea that pain/hurt (abuse) is somehow intrinsic to Love. It also means that in Love, we must be willing/able to ‘go through’ any trials and tribulations (Hell) in order to adhere to what’s ultimately Right (“Just and True” 37/1-40). If we aren’t willing/able to avoid these Philosophies and endure trials and tribulations, our Relationships can’t/won’t be Right because we will, without a doubt, experience the same Hellish results as those who embrace these illogical/flawed Philosophies. The Principle of ‘Love Hell or Right’ charges a person with the responsibility of gaining the highest degree of Understanding from any/all experiences, in order to rise above any/all experiences to do what’s ultimately Right (“Just and True” 37/1-40). A person who thinks/believes that “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” is not thinking about the responsibility of Understanding or rising above anything, because according to their Philosophy, Love is equivalent to, not transcendent of, the pain/hurt they may ‘feel’. To them, pain/hurt is as far as Love goes…

At this point it is very important to understand that when one person subscribes to the Principle of ‘Love Hell or Right’ and another person embraces the Philosophy that “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”, it’s impossible for that Relationship to work. While one person will always be striving to gain an Understanding and rise above any/all experiences to do what’s ultimately Right, the other person will be seeking, anticipating, accepting, AND oftentimes manufacturing painful/hurtful experiences -because in their Mind, “If It Ain’t Rough It Ain’t Right”. These are two entirely different Perspectives that can’t be reconciled, and a Relationship like this will not work out. Some of us are under the illusion that we can win a person over who has a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy. So we get into a Relationship or even Marry them and work overtime trying to prove their Philosophy wrong. It never occurs to us that any pain/hurt they ‘feel’, whether true or imagined, our fault or not, will only serve to validate their Philosophy. It also never occurs to us that it’s impossible to avoid ‘feelings’ in a Relationship, which ultimately means, something will always end up being wrong (painful/hurtful). Why? Because a person who thinks/believes “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” comes into a Relationship looking for what’s wrong with it. So what begins as our noble quest to show & prove or even save a person from themselves quickly turns into a life (or lifetime) of perpetual setbacks, misery, and disappointments; similar to a hamster running around in a maze that ALWAYS leads to nowhere… Although those of us who at least have Supreme Mathematics and the Supreme Alphabet have the tools to avoid this dilemma, many of us fail to apply the Principle of ‘Love Hell or Right’ for various reasons. As I stated, deep down inside some of us may really agree with a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy so we accept the abuse. Some of us may really believe that we can change someone, so instead of recognizing their Philosophy “cannot be reformed” (34/1-40), we “give all we have and all within our power” in hopes that one day they’ll cee the light (40/1-40). Giving all we have and all within our power is not wrong in it of itself, it’s just the wrong approach/procedure in this situation because you’re trying to give something to someone who clearly doesn’t want it. As a matter of fact, the consequential pain/hurt you’ll ‘feel’ from their rejection of what you strive to give them only serves the purpose of further validating their Philosophy that “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”…

Justice Jewel (10th) is Love
In our 12 Jewels the 10th Jewel or ‘Justice Jewel’ is Love. When most People consider Justice that don’t consider it’s Relationship to Love. This tells you a lot about how they view Relationships as a whole… Justice being more than rewards and penalties based upon one’s ways & actions. Justice, in part, represents Integrity (Justness), Fairness, Harmony, and Equilibrium (Equality). These are all components of Love, and there is no Integrity (Justness), Fairness, Harmony, and Equilibrium (Equality) in a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy. In order to successfully demonstrate these components, one must be considerate, caring, respectful, honorable, committed, affectionate, sincere, and a host of other qualities in order to reinforce a sense of Justice. Can you imagine going before a Judge who doesn’t possess the components of Justice or the qualities that reinforce it? Do you think you’ll get a fair shake? Well imagine the results of a Relationship with someone who doesn’t possess the components of Justice or the qualities that reinforce it… It’s impossible for a Relationship like this to be Loving and offer someone a fair shake.

Since the Justice Jewel “Love” is ‘10’ or Knowledge (1) Cipher (0), Love is Knowing the importance of the Cipher; Reciprocity. A Relationship is a Cipher, a Bond. In order to maintain that Bond, the components of Justice (Integrity [Justness], Fairness, Harmony, and Equilibrium [Equality]) and the qualities that reinforce it (considerate, caring, respectful, honorable, committed, affectionate, sincere, and etc.) are held together through Reciprocity. Reciprocity is the willingness/ability to complement eachother through mutual, corresponding, interdependent exchanges and interactions that sustain this Bond. To Reciprocate is a process that begins with sharing/giving, not taking! It’s interesting to note that when many People are asked about Love and Relationships, they usually begin by talking about what they want or desire to get from somebody. RARELY do you hear someone begin a conversation about Love and Relationships talking about what they’re willing/able to actually give… It tells you a lot about their ideas concerning Reciprocity, and if they ever even thought about it at all, now doesn’t it? Also, think about what kind of Reciprocity a “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts” Philosophy demonstrates. Would you like to be on the receiving end of that?

Justice functions as a System of checks & balances designed to maintain stability. Therefore, Justice is “Just I Cee Equality”. In a Bond (Relationship), it’s Just “Us”, not you and me, “Us”. This is important to understand because some People may assume that the ‘I’ in Just I Cee Equality is an individual or ‘I’ as in EGO. When it’s about “Us”, not you and me, “We” approach a Relationship realizing that “Our” Bond hinges upon the components of Justice (Integrity [Justness], Fairness, Harmony, and Equilibrium [Equality]) and the qualities that reinforce it (considerate, caring, respectful, honorable, committed, affectionate, sincere, and etc.). In otherwords, we are essentially One (1) and that’s how our Cipher (0) must function in order to keep it together!

In conclusion, these are just “a few” of the many examples, illustrations, and break-downs we learn about Love within our Cultural Curriculum, and I didn’t even go through the many examples, illustrations, and break-downs within 120 Lessons. The point in sharing this was to demonstrate how our Culture possesses various Cultural references that fully explore, expound upon, and define Love, it’s components/qualities, and how it does/doesn’t function. And as we explore, expound upon, and define Love, we examine what adds up and what doesn’t. We consider the validity of such statements like, “Love is Love”, “Love knows no Color”, “Love is how I feel”, “I fell in Love”, “I Love you but I’m not in Love with you”, “Love is Pain”, “Love Hurts”, and of course any other ideas we hear about Love. Make no mistake about it, that it’s a very sick, abnormal, Masochistic Psychology that embraces the Philosophy that “Love is Pain” or “Love Hurts”. Love does not consist of nor is it equivalent to mental, emotional, financial, and/or physical abuse. A person who thinks/believes this is only capable of hurting themselves and causing pain to others. Until they’ve actually critically analyzed the illogic/flaws in such a Philosophy, to cee why it hasn’t/doesn’t work to sustain Relationships, they will continue to hurt themselves and cause pain to others. This doesn’t mean that People like this are somehow diabolical or deliberately out to hurt themselves and cause pain to others. They may be nice, attractive, funny, social, and even high functioning intellectuals who simply embrace a Philosophy about Love, and probably other Philosophies about Life, that ultimately hurts them and causes pain to others. They simply haven’t learned how to Love someone or sustain a Relationship… Keep in Mind that they may have been embracing this Philosophy for the last 25 years, so building with them, investing time with them, talking to them, praying with them, and etc. is not enough to change almost a whole generation of illogical/flawed thinking. This is the reality of what you’re dealing with, not what you hope things to one day be. In our 10/1-40 we learn that “we lost no more time searching for that-that does not exist” in regards to a Mystery God. Well the same thing applies to searching for something that someone doesn’t and cannot cee in themselves. If they ultimately do, it must be under their own power and “in their own 'GOOD' time” (39/1-40) because “Self” is the only “Savior” (‘S’ is the 19th Letter in the Supreme Alphabet). It’s our job to make Knowledge Born about the Principle of ‘Love Hell or Right’, not try to make them, force them, or coerce them to think/believe anything differently, ESPECIALLY someone who, based upon their Philosophy, is fighting against your Love from the door! I know many of us believe that nobody’s hopeless, and I agree. Yet there are People who think/believe they’re hopeless based upon the illogical/flawed Philosophies they embrace. Because of their allegiance to these ideas, they become incorrigible and there’s nothing you can do about it mentally, emotionally, financially and/or physically. There is a lot of “Self” work a person has to do before they’re even willing, let alone capable of, Understanding that “Love IS NOT Pain” or “Love DOES NOT Hurt”. It takes a lot of sacrifice, studiousness and commitment on their part, and up until this point in their Life, you may be the first person who ever showed them anything different. The reality is that once a person has reached their 30’s and above holding fast to an illogical/flawed Philosophy like this, it’s possible yet very rare that they are willing AND capable to make the sacrifice, be studious, and have the commitment to change their Philosophy on Life. If you think/believe otherwise, you’re in for a World of pain/hurt, because that’s what they ultimately believe Love is; pain/hurt. And until they actually think/believe anything different, that’s all you can and will get from them.

Peace,

Family Dynamics 101

“Study their Family Dynamics” was the response I received from my Ole Earth at the naïve age of 12 -when informing me about what I needed to think about when looking for a girlfriend. As some of you are already aware, she was a Psychologist with a Minor Degree in Sociology, so this type of language wasn’t unfamiliar to my home environment. Phrases like ‘Self Mutilation’, ‘Paranoid Schizophrenic’, and medical conditions like ‘Microcephalic’, ‘Anorexia Nervosa’, etc. were all things I had a basic knowledge of in my pre-teens. When it came to girls, one of the most significant things my Ole Earth taught me, that took me many years to actually begin to understand, was the phrase, “Study their Family Dynamics”. Because I was young, this of course was a very heavy concept to consider. My hormones were already kicking in and all I really cared about is if a girl was pretty or not. Interestingly enough, People my age today, and older, still choose Companions using that Philosophy: All I care about is if he/she looks good! Anyway, slowly over time, and through many trials, errors, and accomplishments, I finally began to get what she meant! Let me break it down…

Family Dynamics
It’s obvious what our physical Family is comprised of: Father, Mother, maybe Siblings, Grandparents, and other kin. The word “Dynamic” is another name for ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence.’ A “Dynamic” is a ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ that motivates or moves something. In this case we’re talking about the various elements within a Family that has had the ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ to motivate or move someone who’s a Member of that Family. When we look at this ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ that motivates/moves People, we are referring to the Principles and Values they learned, or lack thereof, as a child growing up. Family introduces and exposes us to our first Lessons about Relationships. By learning about a person’s upbringing, and the Relationships they had/have with their Family, we learn about some of the most significant influences that helped shape and mold this person into who they are or are not today. When we enter into any kind of Relationship with People be it platonic, business, or significant, we are having a Relationship with their Family’s ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’. Even if this person has chosen to socially cut themselves off from their Family, we are still in a Relationship with their Family’s ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ because their Family Members are still present within their DNA (genotype/phenotype) –which is something they will never escape, even though they may like to. This leads me to my point…

When we study the Dynamics or ‘Power, Forces, Energy, and Influences’ going on within a person’s Family Relationships, we get a better idea of what their inclinations/potential may be if they established a Family Relationship with us. We first learn about the rightness/wrongness of Family and Relationships through the one we were born into. So our willingness/ability to work things out with the Family we were ‘given’ is a good indication of our potential willingness/ability to work things out with the Family we ‘made’ or want to ‘get… This is very important to recognize because our Family is our First ‘Training Unit’ (14/1-14) when it comes to Relationships. This is where we first learn about fairness, cheating, forgiveness, anger, disappointment, sadness, embarrassment, joy, and everything else imaginable when it comes to establishing, building, maintaining, and severing Relationships. How we handled/handle these challenges, with Family Members, who we will be connected to for the rest of our lives, informs others about our skills/tolerance to handle these challenges with others, who we are not obligated to be connected to for the rest of our lives. In other words, if I don’t have the skills to handle my own brother’s attitude, how am I qualified to handle a dude with the same attitude that isn’t my brother, and has no ‘Family’ obligations/ties to me? If I lack the tolerance (endure/sustain) to deal with my own Mother’s behavior, how will I be able to tolerate a female Companion who may demonstrate the same behavior, and has no ‘Family’ obligations/ties to me? If it’s easy to walk away from meeting the challenges/demands our own Family presents us with, then it will be easier to walk away from People who aren’t Family, when they present us with the same challenges/demands...

Studying a person’s Family Dynamics means to examine how a person handled/handles their Family Relationships and what ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ (Principles and Values) is at play in those Relationships. If you’re a male, examine how a female interacts with her Siblings (if she has any) and Parents, especially her Father. Is her Father nothing more than her ATM Machine? Does she talk to him like he is her peer? Does she make sure she introduces a guy she’s interested in to her Father? Does she even know her Father and when she does mention him, does she refer to him as ‘her sperm donor’? The ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ (Principles and Values) that define this Father/Daughter interaction, sets the potential stage for Principles and Values that are likely to express themselves in the male/female Relationships in her life. If a female doesn’t have the skills/tolerance to deal with her own ‘Father’, what makes you think she’ll have the skills/tolerance to deal with you as her Man -who she can easily walk away from? Her Father was the first Man in her life, whether he was there or not, and how she primarily thinks/feels about him being there or not, is very important for you to know. Why? You may one day become this Man; a Father, to the children she has for you, and her thoughts/feelings about you being there or not, has the potential of being passed on, entertained, and embraced by your children. The same Scenario goes for females who’re studying the Family Dynamics of a potential male Companion. How does he talk and interact with his Mother? Does she control his life, and if so, how does he handle it? Does he curse her out when he doesn’t get something he wants? Is his Mother still cleaning up the messes he makes? Does he speaking kindly and respectfully of/to his Mother? Again, the ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ (Principles and Values) that define this Mother/Son interaction sets the potential stage for Principles and Values that are likely to express themselves in the female/male Relationships in his life.

Keep in Mind that this isn’t a death sentence on anyone who has Dysfunctional Family Relationships because we all do in some form or fashion. The question is, “What are we striving to do about resolving our thoughts, feelings, and dealings with these Dysfunctions?” This is an appeal to those of us who tend to overlook the importance of studying Family Dynamics; ours and those of a potential Companion. This is an appeal to those of us who believe we can develop the skills/tolerance (endurance) to handle these issues by simply trying to disconnect ourselves from People who we will be connected to for the rest of our life; Family. This does not mean that we have to sit around and agree with or accept everything our Family does, b.u.t. it does mean that we have to come to some resolution and develop some type of stratagem to handle the reality that we’ll be connected to them for the rest of our lives, and the extended Family (children) that will be born into our Family. If a person doesn’t have the willingness/ability to agree to disagree with their own Family, it’s not likely they’re going to have the willingness/ability to agree to disagree with someone else, an outsider, when presented with the same Perspective/Scenario. So instead of developing a resolution or stratagem, many of us simply cut People off, oftentimes for very petty issues, and it often takes serious or even tragic situations to make us realize this pettiness and bring us back together, even if it’s just temporarily... It’s this lack of resolution or stratagem that People bring with them into a potential Relationship; it’s called baggage. We all have baggage, b.u.t. everyone doesn’t carry it the same way, nor does everyone have the same intention and ability to do something about it.

In conclusion, I want to encourage all of us to keep in Mind that in all Relationships there is always a ‘Dynamic’ at play, and Family is the most fundamental ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ because we are born into it. This Dynamic, Family, is the first ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ that was instrumental in shaping our Principles, Values, and ultimately our Worldview. Even those things that we don’t do, think, feel, or value any longer still represent a ‘Power, Force, Energy, and Influence’ in our life; they are at the root of our considerations of making change (i.e. “I’ll never eat salisbury steak again because…”, “I always choose a guy/girl that looks like that because…”). Our Family is our first Training Unit, whether we were being taught to lie or tell the truth. This is the hand we were dealt, and how we play this hand will tell a lot about our proclivities in playing with others -and how we even perceive the hand they were dealt in life -whether it’s worst, the same, or better than ours. We first learn about the rightness and wrongness of Family and Relationships through the one we were born into. How we work things out with the Family we were ‘given’, is a good indication of our potential to work things out with the Family we ‘made’ or the Family we ‘want’ to make. If you want to judge a Man’s degree of forgiveness, watch his willingness/ability to forgive his own Siblings/Parents. If you want to cee a Woman’s ability to sacrifice, watch how and what she sacrifices for her child(ren), and how she thinks/feels about it. If you want to assess if a male has a basic level of respect for females, watch how he talks about, addresses, and treats the females in his Family. Likewise, if you want to assess if a female has a basic level of respect for males, watch how she talks about, addresses, and treats the males in her Family. If the way he/she chooses to talk about, address, and treat their own Family isn’t good, I wouldn’t have high hopes for them having the skills/tolerance (endurance) to build and maintain a good Family with me. Why? Because it’s questionable where they will actually get the skills/tolerance (endurance) from; they obviously didn’t develop them at home. Even though my Ole Earth said, “Study their Family Dynamics”, I will go a step further in saying, “Study ‘our’ Family Dynamics”. WE ALL BRING something to the table; some things we’d love to be remembered for, and some things we’d probably like to forget. Being aware, honest, and resolute about what WE ALL BRING will mean all the difference in World when it comes to the quality of our Relationships and the integrity of our Family Units.

Peace,
Saladin

Oil & Water...

The Clash of Cultures
by Lord Life Justice

Many People are being controlled by "the current of air they are in" (8/1-40). This is mentioned because while most who subscribe to the culture of I-God practice that "knowledge is the foundation" (as repeatedly remarked in The NGE's Anthem "The Enlightener" as our creed), most of the world (more than 85%) operate from their taught behavior, drives, habits, proclivities, sentimentalities, conditioning, and/or impulses. This custom of going with your emotions and feelings is symbolic to the "water" mentioned in the previous and following degrees. The 9/1-40 states that the powers that be in Western Society (10%) teach that a Mystery God brings all this to conceal the true and living God (son of man), and to make slaves out of the eighty five percent (majority of the people you see and hear everyday), by keeping them worshiping something he cannot see... This is believed by the Eighty-Five Percent.” That current can also be looked at as the current events or a particular era. These things are all relative. When we look at the current events at our physical degree, it represents one of the many layers we have been through in the course of this physical existence, however-- it will seem very different to someone, let's say, at knowledge-build. This current represents what was happening at the time he/she began making moves towards being independent (adulthood). This current is very crucial to them because it represents their resources or what things were available to draw from at the time: Sort of like an Era: If you come from that era, you know the feel-- if you don't, you must strive to get a feel for it. Either way, For those who live out I-God, it is crucial for you to dig current events, so you can make sense of the factors that are traumatically effecting and affecting the youth making career and life-threatening decisions...

People are being controlled by the current of air is another way of still being brainwashed and living according to values you were taught, instead of the ones you've checked out for yourSelf (as Scientists we experiment to find what is true and use that knowledge as the foundation for our actions). The 8/1-40 goes as far as to say that, "This water is never drawn above six miles from the earth's surface by the Sun and the Moon." If Lunar (or Moon) functions in human beings are those instinctual, involuntary, subliminal, emotional, and motor functions (which are controlled by the cerebellum) and the Solar (or Sun) functions are those voluntary or willed, contemplative functions-- then a statement like "This water is never drawn above six miles," can only mean that as long as you are doing things by your feelings or subjecting your decision making processes on sentiments, you will be simply a human (man of the soil) or beast-like but never God-like. It goes further to say, "The reason it rains back onto our planet is because this water cannot get out of the Earth's atmosphere with its' high speed of rotating around the Sun makes it impossible." Following that train of thought, you can never reach your fullest aspirations and potential being a slave to your emotions. Factual proof of this is the 9/1-40, when it says “to make slaves” and the 13/1-40 which says that, "the devil teaches that because he desires to make slaves out of all he can." Also compare 2/1-14: “Savage means a person who has lost the knowledge of himself and (who) is living a beast-life” to the 17/1-40: The meaning of Civilization includes “not being ‘a savage’ in the pursuit of happiness (in search to feel good)”. God is a civilized, rational Being who bases his foundation on knowledge -according to the Culture of I-God.

That part of “not being ‘a savage’ in the pursuit of happiness” is crucial because pursuing happiness is the same as becoming enslaved by it. Things like happiness, joy, enjoyment, contentment, etc., are both individual and something that you allow yourself to associate pleasure to. Meaning, the things that makes one person happy may not make another happy, and if it does, it is because you associate those feelings to whatever is occurring or being given at the time. No one can make you happy, you bring those sentiments to the situation. You associate happiness and joy to those things, when in reality, all those feelings come from within outward. But in the Western concepts of life, happiness is something that you pursue and until you obtain it, you are never really happy... This is ludicrous! That is the same as saying, "I am holding my happiness hostage until I get what I want, and until I get what I want, I will never be happy." Once again, we have a clash in Cultures, in the form of customs, because in the Western world following the "Art of Woo", the Man is charged with attempting to "make" "his Woman" happy... Picture that: I can see the Westernized Black Man in a court jester's suit (instead of a king's robe and regalia), juggling "balls" (symbolizing his various attempts) "trying" to make and keep her happy (when you try/you're on trial concerning your degree of success). That's so ridiculous! "No one makes anyone happy"; those are the sentiments the recipient associates to the events. If he/she doesn't see it that way, then they won't evoke the same feelings as it would with another person. This has to do with what one is accustomed to and not necessarily what the other is guilty of. We allow ourselves to enjoy and be happy concerning things and it is our responsibility to be cheerful and of good spirits regardless-- one can be happy in life without anything to be happy about (a.k.a. “looking on the bright side”, the cup being “half full” as opposed to “half empty”, or “everyday above ground is a good day”, etc). After all, “an attitude is all you need to rise and walk away” and you should get accustomed to providing our own help (Self Help) and happiness, because we are the ones who need it. Next, I am saying, as a mate—“I am not anyone's entertainment center.” I am not here to be your daily amusement! I am no clown and I ain't no Joke. True, we should respect each other's request, but only when that request is appropriate for all involved. Like a true King, God knowledge-s his equality (emotions), to determine if these things are appropriate or right and exact for the given situation. We are not slaves to each other, we come together based upon mutual agreements (which are expressed within 'One Twenty', Supreme Mathematics/ Alphabets, and Twelve Jewels). WE SHOULD NOT BE PURSUING HAPPINESS; WE SHOULD FIND HAPPINESS IN THE RIGHT THINGS TO PURSUE. This is what knowledgeable people do, not the ones who have “lost the knowledge of themselves and are living a beast life” (2/1-14). But as expressed earlier, many spend a lot of time TRYING TO RATIONALIZE CUSTOMS AND BEHAVIOR OUTSIDE of the culture of I-GOD, while trying to use MATHEMATICS INSIDE of the culture of I-GOD -- but this is a hybrid-- indicative of grafted thinking and ungodly.

What is not fully being appreciated here is that Western Culture is the ‘wrong foods’ our Lessons speaks about when it mentions "eating the wrong foods" (10/1-36). It is the "wrong foods" on a couple of different levels: First of all, some of the things most of us do are not thought about first. Those things are called habits. Habits are things you are used to doing: I.e. coffee in the morning; that donut in the morning; that sex every morning (wondering how come you're late so often); that cigarette in the morning; that joint in the morning; that "duugie" in the morning; that crack in the morning (notice the progression from bad to worst). They fulfill a want or desire of yours, as opposed to a need. For those who don't know, NEEDS ARE WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE SHOULD HAPPEN, DESIRES ARE WHAT YOU FEEL SHOULD HAPPEN, WANTS SHOULD BE WHAT YOU WILL TO HAPPEN TO BRING ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE RESULTS, BUT ARE OFTEN WASTED ON WHAT YOU FEEL BECAUSE WHAT YOU FEEL MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT'S NEEDED. The choice is yours ["You can get with this or you can get with that" --Black Sheep]. The decision was made a long time ago. Some behavior patterns date back to your early formative years, when your critical thinking was not up to par (as “a fine mist that the naked eye can hardly detect” [8/1-40]). Or maybe with your "homiez" (who live in the West and have Western habits and ideas), or if you're some-what progressive, the Gods and Earths (some of which entertain a combo of I God culture and “Western Culture”: which is the Devil's Civilization). But if you are really hip, you surround your person with righteous Gods and Earths who love you and represent, not only your ideology, but entertain various other ideas (than the ones you keep); not to mention doing various other things that spark your different interests: as opposed to company which keep the same thoughts as you and therefore representing a stale pool of ideas and offering very little room for expansion. The in-crowd is the kind of company which keeps it stimulating, vibrant, and moving like a True and Living should have it.

But let's face it, back on earth where we live, you haven't really thought these things out... You might even have habits because everybody else has them. This "Everybody Else Has Them" is not representative of a group of foreigners from various other countries with many different ideologies, they are likely from America and part of the majority of people (part of the 85%) who are “slaves from mental death and power” (14/1-40) in the same Devil's Civilization you were incarnated (made manifest thru Allah) into, and striving to move away from. The reason this is bad is that you shouldn't flow with sentiments or likes and dislike (your feelings) because the nature of Equality also touches into realms of Wisdom Culture: which is by it's nature ‘unknown’ (X) alpha-beth-ly (24). This means that MOST OF THE TIME, ONE DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER THEIR FEELINGS ARE BASED ON KNOWLEDGE WHICH WOULD MAKE IT THE RIGHT THING, OR IMPULSES AND DRIVES WHICH MAKES IT MORE ANIMALISTIC AND MORE AS A BEAST WAY OF LIFE (2/1-14). Because you are a Scientist... you are supposed to draw things up and do the knowledge on how these things manifest; what types of results, and then choose wisely, but these things got by you... They came in “a fine mist that the naked eye can hardly detect” (8/1-40), and you took it “on face value” (9/1-40). Wow, what an error (glad the Universal Mind has brought this to our attention, so Allah could share this with you)! While touching this area, let me say that you need people around you who have your best interest at heart, not just someone who agrees with everything you say. If they are civilized People (from your intimate universal family members) they warn you, it is because they love you and therefore don't want you to go down the wrong path (19/1-40). They are familiar with those complexities, and are not trying to run your life like you may think they are (I know because it's hard enough running mine). They want good things to happen for you. Having the same kind of thinkers around you may FEEL supportive, but it doesn't help to make you aware of all possible dangers or alternatives; nor does this type of comradery bring new ideas into your life; it will more than likely will stunt your growth-- like cigarettes, which causes cancer; which all meats do as well...

Before going any further, there are some upon reading this may feel that we are self righteous and believe ourselves "holier than thou". As well, there may be others who get the impression from what I advocate, that we had been raised in an environment where everything was temperate or religiously inspired and/ or disciplined, therefore we had no problems or difficulties adjusting to the things we state. On the contrary, my person has been on both sides. We had and have done some or most of the things mentioned in this build. It's just that while going through things, in my conscious realm, my person is always looking for the best way to do things, so I'm always examining the angles to see what's best and I own up to my parts I play in the scenario. Long before I knew that “earthquakes are caused by the sun of man experimenting with high explosives” (8/1-40), I knew the universal mind (Allah) always equips these vehicles (physical composition) with options in every given scenario and that IT IS OUR CHOICES WHICH DETERMINE OUR FATE AND NO ONE ELSE. I ALWAYS KNEW I HAD THE CHOICE IN EVERY SITUATION, NO ONE PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD TO DO IT, AND EVEN IF THEY DID, I COULD CHOOSE TO DIE FOR MY CAUSE. Fortunately, for my person, I made some good choices and got what goes along with that type of choice. In other words, life is predetermined by the roads you choose, and the way my person is built, I'm always looking for the choice I can't loose with. I subscribe to CARPE DIEM: Seize(-ing) the Day. Take advantage of the opportunity to do better and you'll become better. Put more care into eating, living, and loving, and there will be more care in you. Like all Scientists, ‘Some-times your lab coat gets caught on fire’. So you must put out the fire and take notes concerning the outcome. However, as Scientists, you must be truthful and objective in your findings, ESPECIALLY when grappling with inner demons. Remember: It's all about refinement for a better You in order to be victorious! IN FIGHTS, YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY GET BRUISED AND SOME TIMES YOU MAY EVEN GET KNOCKED DOWN. IN THE STRUGGLES IN LIFE, IT IS NOT ABOUT THE BRUISES OR EVEN GETTING KNOCKED DOWN-- IT IS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU GET UP. Understanding knowledge in the knowledge to understand your emotions or equality says, “Then What Happened?” I was in the mix and it was “thick as thieves" before I perceived what I needed, therefore I never forgot where I came from-- that's why I share the understanding because that's the best part. Give me a Wise Man/Woman spitting truth and I'll show you a Man/Woman who's been through a lot of things he hasn't spoke on. Just the CREAM OF FACTS is necessary.

I AM STILL CONNECTED TO MY PARTNERS IN GRIME-- I KNOW “ALLAH IN HIS OWN GOOD TIME” (39/1-40). I DON'T COME TO TELL ANYONE WHAT TO DO, I JUST DROP JEWEL, WORDS TO THE WISE, AND WARN SO THAT WHEN MY FAMILY TAKES A LOOK AT THE OUTCOME, HE/ SHE CAN HAVE THE TOOLS FOR THE RECOVERY OF LOST ITEMS. As far as being “holier than thou”, I am somewhat of a tolerant and patient Man (perhaps sometimes too patient), yet I stress these things for others to have the same knowledge and understanding, so that they can master themselves and conquer those four devils-- or raise their objections about what I speak. THIS WAY, AT THE VERY LEAST, I WILL KNOW WHAT I'M WORKING WITH --OR WHETHER I HAVE A PARTNER OR NOT-- AND THEREFORE I CAN DESIST IN LOSING TIME SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST (10/1-40). It is very important to understand EVERYBODY IS NOT BUILT LIKE YOU, NOR DO THEY WANT THE SAME THINGS YOU WANT IN LIFE. About 95% of the people you will meet in life will not, and of that 5%, there will be a few that have not recovered from that MENTAL DEATH that we all must recover from: IN FACT, WE ALL HAVE FOUR DEVILS TO CONQUER WITHIN OURSELVES (10/1-14) and to do so is a major accomplishment for your awareness (knowledge) and understanding. This brings mastery to some and failure to others (who are not receptive to truth).

CULTURE and CIVILIZATION is very important to understand. AGRICULTURE is the care and consideration used in the raising and growth of crops. HORTICULTURE is the industry and science of plant cultivation, including the process of preparing soil for the planting of seeds. CULTURE is the science of the raising and growth of people. Our Lessons state: “Civilize means to teach knowledge and wisdom of the human family of the planet earth” (2/1-14) and Civilization means “one having knowledge wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement and ‘IS NOT A SAVAGE IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS’” (17/1-40). Now if these are not just words for you, then you are about the process of learning more about how to carry out such things and getting better at it upon every growing day. In the Film, ‘The Usual Suspects’ there was a line that went: “THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED WAS CONVINCING THE WORLD HE DIDN’T EXIST.” Many of us may still quote Lessons but do not believe that the Colored Man is Yacob's Grafted Devil and some of you may even mate with them)... CIVILIZATION is the process of bringing civility to people by the way and means of the behavior of some of the people involved -as well as providing aspects of a Society through which people may grow (such as blogging or a blog like this, libraries, schools, etc). THE DEVIL'S CIVILIZATION brought us here and IT WAS HIS CULTURE THAT RAISED US UNTIL WE LEARNED KNOWLEDGE OF SELF, which requires that we do the knowledge on the former process that occurred, which includes practicing the science of unlearning the foolishness taught to us in youth! What I am not striving to say is everything in the Western world is all evil or wrong. "Hell..." some of them “study from thirty-five to fifty years to try to learn and do like the original man” (9/1-14 also see 10/1-14) to cultivate civilized ways within their people... What I am saying is that they were not totally successful, which means that our duty as Civilized People is to be about the process of analyzing and distinguishing what is and what isn't civilized behavior -while only adding on to our cipher (ourselves) that which is "Right and Exact" from what we find.

LANGUAGE & INDOCTRINATION
We lost our LANGUAGE and our Culture through slavery; while being taught to fear and revere what Whites did (symbolized as the "fear" of the "little boy" [8/1-36]). This was achieved through a system of Punishment/Reward. When you train an animal to respond to your command, that animal doesn't grasp your LANGUAGE --he does so because he is rewarded if he does what the master wants and punished when he does not. When Yacob and his made Devil (made from the 30% dissatisfied) were driven into the caves of West Asia (Europe), they lost their Culture from having everything stripped from him “accept his LANGUAGE” (4/1-14). The 10% studied our Culture after Musa raised his people from walking around on "all-fours" within the caves. Among the ones who "did not keep and obey" (10/1-14) was one called John Hawkins, relative of Queen Elizabeth and a well known Slave Trader. THE SLAVE TRADE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM US INCLUDING OUR LANGUAGE; which left us Culture-less. When this happened, the Punishment/ Reward system was applied to us. We learned their LANGUAGE as a matter of survival from cruel and unusual punishment. Gradually, we began to adapt to and adopt the only Culture we saw around us, learning the White Man's ways of evaluating and doing things ("Because the Devil taught him to eat the wrong foods" 10/1-36). For example, Black Men did not create the concept that "Slimmies" are the model and archetype of what beauty is to his own Women, the Western White Man did. If you do your research, you will find that an anorexic, androgynous looking female model by the name of "Twiggy" (she came from Britain) was introduced to the fashion world in the 1960's. She became a Super Model and revolutionized the look of beauty in the Western world. Prior to that, Europe followed suit with the rest of the World, showing beauty as a curvaceous female with a good bit of flesh to her bones. Even today, if you look at most Women from Yoruba land in Nigeria, Kenya, Togo, Chad, and Sudan you can tell that THEIR SYMBOL OF BEAUTY IS A WOMAN WHO'S FIGURE HAS CURVES AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF MUSCLE AND TISSUE PRESENT, NOT A WOMAN WHO IS SKINNY AND LOOKS LIKE SHE IS SUFFERING FROM ANOREXIA. This is the symbol for Black Beauty for any Blacks outside the sphere of direct Western influence. It is only Western Blacks and particularly American Blacks, that have adopted this "foreign" concept of beauty. Black Peoples in America on ideas concerning men and women's roles in relationships? WESTERN! Difficulties with Women's Equality in Black families and relationships? Western Concepts of Feminism and Gender-Bender Sexual Ambiguous Politics!

Male chauvinism in American society originates from White Westernized Men; it is part of their misogynistic complex, concepts of superiority, and White Male dominance. White Male chauvinism is used within the business world upon Black and White Women, and towards Black Men! We do not make the rules in this American society for the most part, the White chauvinist majority does. It is implied in everything the society does. Some Black Males may take advantage of these rules because we are males, but the Black Man, for the most part, is not in charge of this philosophy anymore than Black Women are in charge of the Feminist Movement. So Black Women looking at themselves as the culprit for juicing men for sex, or Black Men lusting after females as sex-objects, is a misguided philosophy; “they were made other than him/herSELF” (12/1-36). So is the notion of Black Male chauvinism and superiority. In order to entertain such a lop-sided philosophy, you have to be in the position; YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE POSITION OF MONEY AND POWER, you would have to be in the position of PAYING THE COST TO BE THE BOSS. These are TRENDS set by the "Movers and Shakers" of Western society. These are Fads and Gimmicks made to "lead people in the wrong direction" (14/1-40). YOU LIVE IN AMERICA, YOU WATCH WESTERN TELEVISION SHOWS, AND WHILE YOU'RE WATCHING YOUR FAVORITE SITCOMS, YOU ARE INDIRECTLY PICKING UP CURRENT WESTERN IDEAS AND VALUES CONCERNING LIFE; PHILOSOPHICAL, ECONOMICAL AND POLITICAL. American Blacks don't act like other Blacks around the world, their actions reflect misguided Western values that they think they came up with themselves (13/1-40)! THAT'S HOW BLIND WE HAVE BECOME TO OUR ORIGINAL VALUES (24/1-36)! We'd like to think we put much thought into it, but the truth of the matter is, most of us just followed suit. We did what they saw the Average American do -but of course we have to throw some of our Black style on it! We only go back and start thinking about it when we see that we are not getting the proper results. Then we start seeking for solutions. Prior to this moment of clarity: BLIND IMITATION. I KNOW A LOT OF US DO NOT LIKE TO LOOK AT OURSELVES as being that BRAINWASHED victims of Western society, but we have been and some of us still are! “THE LOST FOUND WERE ONCE DEAD MENTALLY, BUT MANY OF US RECOVERED FROM IT” (13/1-40) *Not all of us have.

Most people would like to think that we deliberately do what we do, but the truth is A LOT OF OUR BEHAVIOR IS INDOCTRINATION. I remember asking an older teenager than myself at the time, "Why do you smoke cigarettes and drink beer?" He told me, "Because I like it!" Now I don't know about you, but the first time my person smoked a cigar, I got an incredible headache that I almost passed out from. When my persons smoked my first cigarette, I coughed like crazy! My persons first taste of beer was horrible! Enjoying beer is an acquired taste that you obtain through repetition. And why do we do it, even though initially we dislike it? Most of us do it because our peers have done it and it is, for some, the symbol of being grown and doing things that (Western) adults do. The word INDOCTRINATE MEANS TO TRAIN TO ACCEPT A SYSTEM OF THOUGHT UNCRITICALLY OR WITHOUT EXACT AND CAREFUL EVALUATION AND JUDGMENT. That older teenager just said what he said to "look like he knew what he was doing", you know, like he was in complete control and all that jazz! In other places, like so-called Third World Countries, the particulars of the routine may be different. Until we analyze these acts on their own merit, consider their true relevance to us, as opposed to going with the flow, we are “Blindly” imitating behavior due to being indoctrinated or raised-up in the Devil's Civilization! The "Deaf and Dumb” part only remains relevant when you can't get to the bottom of why you do what you do -yet you won't hear these wise words because you are too busy defending your foolish behavior (24/1-36)! For those who want further experiences with these sort of stories, testimonies and phenomena read: BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY by Malcolm X (a compilation of speeches given by Malik (PBBUH) when he was still the National Spokesman for the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan imitated Malcolm's delivery, but he was far from the Lion and Prince of the people that Malcolm was for all of Black People; “The earth belongs to the Original Man” (1/1-14). As well, one should read THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X. to see the mind-set of a sincere Black Prince.

The truth of the matter is, these behavior patterns, rituals, impulses and urges are something that we "co-sign" without questioning whether they are truly the right path to go on, that is, until we run into conflict trying to live them out and things don't look like the novel you were writing... Life has a way of smacking you up like nobody else can, yet only the wisest will “try to learn who is causing all this to happen by letting the 5% teach them” (9/1-40). The rest unfortunately will take things on face value until life proves to them how superficial that point of view is itself. Each generation goes through a certain amount of irreverence for what the generation before them has accomplished, and each generation after attempts to put their on spin on NGE teachings as well. Some of this is to be expected, however, there are certain elements within our midst who go about making their ideas born without referring to what was already here previously. An exception being the First 9 Born, but with some of First Born, and many of the first ones taught back in the early years of this Nation, some of them were/are reluctant to accept newer contributions made by those who came after them. NEITHER ONE OF THESE IDEOLOGIES IS GOOD, BECAUSE A NATION OPERATING WITHOUT ITS LEGACY (important things handed down from the elders and ancestors), OR PAST KORANS (chronological or documented chronicles), IS LIKE A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS. In relay races there comes a time when the baton must be passed. Any great Coach will caution Team members: "Make absolutely sure that the baton is securely passed onto your relay member before you let it go". This same thing applies to handing the torch down to the next generation... Well here is a warning to the new torch bearers: Some of these add-ons are a corruption to the system that brought you where you are today. An example is: There is no substitute for having an Enlightener; that is-- a person who walks with you and talks with you concerning your transformation from N*gger to God/ Earth, and answering questions on a one-on-one basis-- concerning your trials and tribulations. There is no substitution, period! The internet learning is fine for supplemental learning -we read these things and we had Knowledge for 35 years now, but not for establishing proper, primary relationships in our Culture. Internet teaching, like text messaging, presents a false image to the reader, leading up to false impressions one may get after building this way (a.k.a. now you think that you know a person). With good writings skills, any person can appear to be like someone else or anyone they want to be; if you learn the swag of a True and Living God or Earth you can “appear” to be one. With text messaging, tweeting and the Internet, all you know about the person is what they choose to tell you about themselves! You have no body language to give you clues, appearances to suggest more information or nothing! It is such a superficial outlook for getting to know someone. The more you make this your primary source of knowing someone, the less social skills you will develop, and the more anti-social you will become. It sort of reminds me of the "Nerd" who wanted to learn to dance, so he goes out and buys "Cha-Cha" dance charts and thinks he'll be the life of the party. Or worst yet, he wants to learn about sex, dating, and intercourse and goes out and buys Sex Education books... My Man... if you want to know what this is really about, you need real guidance from a live person or persons who are living this out with some serious commitment to it. There is no substitution for learning Lessons through social interaction with members of The NGE. Otherwise, how can you live out the build degree in the knowledge to know your culture and be about building a society? If you want a book to read to experience the possible dangers of this type of thing check out, ‘Lord of The Flies’.

Another current cultural issue that is of future concern is the new attitudes of the youth who are striving to get this Knowledge. Some of them have gotten Knowledge of Self from our tried and true "street soldiers and army nurses" who have been on post for years out there educating and civilizing, yet when these unenlightened, immature ones come on board, they want to take our Teachings for themselves solely. They have no intent to sacrifice time and effort to bring someone else around; they want this knowledge for personal gain. First of all, you don't get what this is all about. These Brothers/Sisters sacrificed years of their lives to be there, so that you would not be victimized out here or "fed to some wild beasts" (28/1-40). I AM BECAUSE WE ARE. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE SACRIFICE OF OTHERS (like your Old Earth and Physical Father), WHERE WOULD YOU BE RIGHT NOW? What you put in this is what you get out, and what you get out, you should put back in. When you do that, this is when you truly begin to see what this Knowledge can achieve. It is the contributions of countless Gods/Earths that went into building this Nation, not my person. We all contribute because we all are one. The True I, which is Allah, is not just me but WE. Where is your sense of Nationhood? How do you think you can ever have true Knowledge of Self without being a part of the entire network that makes this up? And if you found a way to weasel past us and get some Lessons to go with your limited insight, do you think we need a group of ego-centered persons like you in this Nation? A Nation cannot grow without sincere, conscientious, dedicated People who are willing to do what it takes in order to elevate our status around the world. If we are going to be seen by the world (and Hip-Hop music has given us great exposure), let us be seen in the proper light -not just caricatures and stereotypes! Allah is All and all you will ever need to complete you, but if you don't plan to be associated with us, or do any work within Allah's community, you will never see the light. How can you call yourself "civilized" apart from our teachings without being a part of I-God civilization? How ignorant! The truth of the matter is this: We don't need the likes of those who will not keep and obey the laws of Islam! We need builders who will be about the tasks of raising children and building a family so that we can grow. We need those willing to go out and spend time with our People to get to know who are the best knowers, build with them, and add on to get the job done -like we've always done in the past. We continue to do what we do because of the love we have for our People, nothing less! We do what we do for love, peace, and happiness for us as a People (40/1-40). So if you don't plan to do this when you get it, if you don't have that kind of love, don't look to get Knowledge from me! It takes too much time to thoroughly teach someone how to be (right for this) as a God or Earth, and we don't have time to waste on ego-centered Bastards and Bitches! The whole thing is stupid: wanting something when you are not willing to give in return! But I must admit, it is not entirely all your fault, it reflects how far we have “strayed away from civilization” as a People (7/1-14).

FEAR & THE WRONG FOODS
When the Lessons teach that "because the devil planted fear in him when he was a little boy" (8/1-36), it reflects our years during slavery as a People, up to the so-called Emancipation Proclamation. Another name for this fear is APPREHENSION. APPREHENSIONS ARE FEELINGS ASSOCIATED WITH ANTICIPATING THE FUTURE: THIS CAN ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS A FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, WHICH BRINGS ABOUT ANXIETY, INSECURITY, RELUCTANCE, TERROR AND/OR DREAD -which are all the feelings one gets when someone else is in control of their life. The future is uncertain and you don't know where you are going because you are not in charge of your life. In slavery, one does not own anything, no property -not even himself or herself; his/her marriage, or their children. Their lives are totally in the hands of the master -like Welfare and Section 8! After slavery (the Emancipation Proclamation/Juneteenth), we began to have more say in how we were doing things, but the damage was already done. DREAD had already made it's way into the minds of the People! They had already become accustom to the White Man's wrath, sense of anger, and injustice. So all White People had to do is flinch and most Blacks would jump or start scratching where there really wasn't an itch. In other words, some of us began behaving like "Spooked-out" Negroes: "Why does he fear the Devil, now that he is a big man?" (9/1-36) "Because the Devil taught him to eat the wrong Foods." (10/1-36): This goes back to the conversation we had concerning the White Man's LANGUAGE that we learned to speak in place of our own; which includes STRESSORS AND TRIGGERS WHICH GIVES RISES TO AND SET OFF, SPARK, OR PROVOKE ANGER, FEAR AND/OR FEELINGS OF ANXIETY. A steady diet could be "fed" to a Black Man by a White Person, merely conversations starting off with the word "Boy"... In the circus, they put a small link fence chain on a baby elephant's leg by means of a shackle and a wooden post. When he goes too far, it reminds him to stop. As an infant, the elephant cannot break the chain. The older the elephant gets, they increase the size of the shackle but not the strength of the chain, yet the elephant believes he cannot go any further than the chain will allow... Here's another one, which incorporates two Lessons: When one group of natives hunt monkeys, they nail a gourd to a tree with a hole in it just big enough for a monkey's unclenched hand to reach inside. Inside the gourd they place a small shiny object because monkeys are very fond of small shiny objects. Once they know the monkey sees the object and reaches in to get it, they rush up on the monkey, but the monkey becomes stuck because an clenched fist cannot pass through the hole, so he becomes "clubbed" to death rather than let go of the small shiny object... (“Because the Devil planted fear” [the gourd and small shiny object is a trap] (8/1-36), also “He likes the Devil because the Devil gives him nothing” (6/1-36).

I was "Christianized" (indoctrinated) long before being approach by a Wise Scientist who told me "the whole truth". For a while, after agreeing with my Enlightener, I still had feelings that I was going to die and burn in hell for Blasphemy I was committing by saying I was God. I still have nightmares about it to this day! LOL) THIS DEGREE REPRESENTS THE APPREHENSIONS ONE FEELS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE OUR WAYS. Many people find ways to twist things around so they don't have to change. Change is not our enemy; change is our ability to rise above any situation we may find ourselves in. Change ensures us that we can escape any fetters or self imposed prison we make for ourselves by not letting go of the past. Change is the insurance of our infinite potential but our Western philosophy gives us statements like, "You're trying to CHANGE ME," or "If I do those things I might lose myself" (or your identification to something); "Because the Devil taught him how to eat the wrong foods (10/1-36)", "He like the Devil because the Devil gives him nothing (6/1-36)" also, "Each Muslim was required to bring in four devils.. (10/1-14)".

USUALLY THE FIRST MOVE PEOPLE MAKE WHEN FACING THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO CHANGE OR WHEN CONFRONTING CONTRADICTIONS IN THEIR PHILOSOPHY IS DENIAL: "Not me, I did nothing to deserve this" or "I can't believe this is happening to me, I didn't do anything wrong". ("Earthquakes is caused by the son of man experimenting with high explosives-- in fact, all that above is caused by the son of man" 8/1-40). This is generated by the human part of you. It is an emotional response to YOUR HIGHER POWERS SUMMONING YOUR ABILITY TO RISE ABOVE YOUR CONDITIONS IN LIFE (8/1-40). It is a FEAR that initially comes up in everyone and depending on the wrong foods you ate, you may regurgitate up all kinds of concoctions -even changing the world itself before you change your program (and rise above six miles from the earth's surface)! It is really a Now or End situation, meaning: there is no gain without sacrifice. The lower aspects of your Being realizes that in order for you to gain a higher power, some aspect of your lower power will have to be sacrificed. Imagine how the Biblical Isaac would have felt, if he knew his father Abraham was going to offer him up to Allah!

A lot of us get caught up in all kinds of currents... Elementars are ideas which are born in your Mind, which have attracting power on your planet (physical composition), stirring up the waters of your sentiments and feelings on a daily basis. They may not have their own physical composition, but they will fight for dear life not to lose their influence over yours. After all, thoughts have a symbiotic (the living together of organisms; especially when advantageous) relationship with human beings, and if you yield to the suggestion, your body does its bidding. Hopefully the Scientist part of you will kick in and force your persons to do what you have to do; which is what each situation demands to be done. This is how you build character! All I can say is WE HAVE GOT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THESE WESTERN VALUES CONCERNING FAMILY, LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS, SELF WORTH, ETC. IT IS KILLING US AND CONFLICTING WITH US TRULY KNOWING OUR TRUE SELF. WE HAVE TO DO SO PURELY FROM A KNOWLEDGE OF SELF RE-EVALUATION OF OURSELVES.

The basis of any good relationship is care and trust. With Western Culture and its sub-themes of ‘Rugged Individualism’ ("I'm going to get mine/you secure your own"); Within it's ‘Sexual Ambiguities’ (obscure and inexplicable) or uncertainties and the so-called ‘Battle of the Sexes’, etc., it's hard enough to ask strategic questions to the person you are interested in much less truly feel secure with the answers you get. It is no surprise that there is a rise in transient relationships: getting together by loose arrangements or just plain old "booty-calls." Truly, these things de-value you and the quality of the person you sojourn with -which makes it an enigma (puzzle). How you can get these same people, who are cutting up in their late teens to early thirties, to be overly concerned with more secure relationships before they reach forty? Again, we can understand why Colored People follow this. We can understand why blind, deaf, dumb, uncivilized people (85%) continue on this path, but this represents a serious clash of values for any righteous, civilized person or a said person of that ability. We will not leave you thinking that it never happened to us because it did. That was something we had to rise above and teach ourselves through by being honest with our persons and looking truthfully at what we've done.

The origin of this behavior came to us by the process of removing our LANGUAGE and our Culture. Our ways are adaptations/adoptions due to the Culture-less vacuum created by our capture, subjugation, and consequential humiliation by the hands of Colonists practicing free enterprise on us during the birth of this Nation called America. During this process, we were forced into bondage, and placed within their society as its' servant class with no knowledge of our homeland nor rights as a citizen to this country. Evenly we began to identify with it and eventually began to look for the "up-sides" within it (“He likes the devil because the devil gives him nothing” (6/1-36). While the first group of our People knew of their homeland, they were never grouped together with their kinsmen/kinswomen. All so-called slaves in a given area had to come from different tribes and different places, as to divert a possible uprising. Speaking their LANGUAGE was forbidden and gathering together in groups of more than two People was considered conspiracy against Whites: a punishable offense. For the most part, Blacks in this country during this period were considered servant/property of Whites and therefore considered inferior to whites. Those Blacks who were freemen -carrying papers to distinguish them from slaves-, and never enjoyed freedoms equal to Whites. Racial marriages between Blacks and Whites were frowned upon, although forced sexual relationships appeared frequently, and if there were any children born from this union they were immediately considered Black regardless to skin tone and subjugated. Children were considered like cattle and domesticated animals, separated from their Parents for the Slave Owners profit -like one would sell Pit Bull puppies! The children of these servants did not have the fond memories of their Parents homeland. They had only remnants of Western LANGUAGE and Culture which they learned by imitation and hellish memories of rape, torture and inferior treatment. By following this process from 1555 to 1865 (310 years), eventually, the Blacks under this system got accustomed to it and began to create their lives around these confines; like Black Males today go in and out of prison because they find it very difficult to get used to being on the outside (“this water is never drawn above six miles from the earth surface by the sun and the moon. The reason why it rains [falls] back on our planet is because this water cannot get out of the earth's atmosphere [gravitation] with its high speed of rotating makes it impossible” (8/1-40). A.K.A. caught up in currents instead of becoming the Son of Man. These Blacks under slavery became other than themselves with no chance of recapturing a Culture/Nationality of their own until Marcus Garvey, Noble Drew Ali, etc., and Master Fard came and taught The Honorable Elijah Muhammad (40/1-40) -whose Teachings were made known to The Father. During this time before the coming of these People and the Civilization they brought, whether we were destined to be Five or Ten Percent, we all lived like we were the Eighty-Five Percent: “Uncivilized People, poison animal eaters, slaves from a mental death and power. People who do not know who the True and Living God is, or our origin in this world” (14/1-40).

CULTURAL INTERESTS
I build on this point because young People today don't truly know how they got here for the most part, how the knowledge got to our People, or a proper understanding to their relationship with the True and Living God, who is Allah manifested in the form of the Black Man. We also live under a misunderstanding that we were Eighty-Five Percent and that we became Five Percent. NO, you never were. You were that HAWK OR FALCON WHOSE EGG GOT MIXED IN WITH THE CHICKEN’S EGSS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG. I KNOW SO BECAUSE IF YOU ARE A SAID PERSON, YOU NEVER REALLY DID EVERYTHING EXACTLY LIKE THEY DID. YOU WERE A FREE THINKER CAPABLE OF INDEPENDENT THOUGHT FROM THE CROWD YOU GOT IN WITH. Our Ancestors learned the White Man's ways in order to survive! You are alive because you were rescued by the Grace of Allah. It is not your place to forgive the White Man for these acts he did to your people; it is your history and your legacy, and if you look away from it, you might forget what happened -making it possible to happen again. It is not Louis Farrakhan's place to allow Whites into the Temple. He does not hold The Title of ‘The Messenger’ and The Honorable Elijah Muhammad made it plain in The Theology of Time) that there were to be no more Leaders; only rule by group agreement. The Temple is for study and the purpose is to recapture our Culture and build our free Nation. White People cannot help us do this because they were not designed for that purpose. Our situations provided the experience necessary for our understanding and forged us to make the proper considerations necessary for our future as a People. Because they are descendants of us, some believe they have the right, but they went away from the teachings to become who they are. They did so because they, like Yacob, were born from dissatisfied People. This is why he could “Father the Devil” while being an Original Black Man (4/1-14). Since the Original Black Man is God (1/1-10) and White People were born from dissatisfaction and those ideas, this is how God made Devil (38/1-40); similar to Hitler raising up Nazi Germany, Yacob gathered the dissatisfied (22,23,24/1-40). Those born from the dissatisfaction of our People, with our ways of government, cannot give us the ingredient on how to recapture it. It’s as simple as that. I recognize they are Allah's children also, but they show no love for their Fathers/Mothers. Turn on the TV: Their Culture despises our Culture and kindred Cultures! Those who don't see this misunderstand the phrase, "We are not Pro-Black, nor Anti-White but Pro-Righteousness and Anti-Devilishment". Otherwise, come with a rebuttal for the above Lessons and every Lesson from the 24th to the 34th in the one to forty! We are the Fathers/Mothers of Civilization and therefore all Nations are our children. When the Father taught the White Man, he used the Lessons, Mathematics, and Alphabet. The Lessons address Whites concerning what and how the Devil is made, what the White Man has done to us as a People, and asks “Can You Reform Him Devil?” (34/1-40) When it tells you that “all the Prophets have tried”, that includes Jesus (5/1-14) and Muhammad (9,10/1-14). When it says, “he was unable”... I don't know how you can misunderstand that -unless you are tripping or taking on that project to prove the lessons wrong... To teach the White Man is to make him aware of what and who he is, as well as what he must do to be accepted as a “poor righteous teacher” (16/1-40). His responsibility is to teach his own how to be more civilized and not to stand in the way of the righteous. He has to argue against injustices and push for all to be treated equal within Western society. He must advocate Freedom as the right for everyone within this society and each Person's right to decide their own destiny. He was sworn to secrecy by Hiram Abiff and Muhammad because White People would never accept this from the Black Man. Any Black Man who has tried to build with Colored (White) People know how difficult it is to get them to see who we really are, and how difficult it is for them to take responsibility for what they have done and “continue daily” to do (13/1-40). His work is amongst his own. They cannot teach us our Lessons because they will never be the Original Man “unless he is grafted back to the Original” (34/1-40). If the White Man wanted to try to learn and do like the Original Man in the past, he had to keep it a secret (9/1-14); work in silence attempting to correct the deeds and thinking of his own People. This way he would be attempting to bring civilization to his People but the Lesson states he would never be loved regardless to how long he studies. HIS EMBLEM of the SUN, MOON and STARS IS DIFFERENT THAN OURS, FOR A REASON! He has a different mission than ours! As said earlier, his work is amongst his own. If he wants to work on something, let him work with the Women and Men of his Culture who are dissatisfied with their roles and feel like they are trapped in the wrong body, because the lee-way his people's Culture is giving our youth is confusing the hell out of them. If he wants to teach, let him go amongst his own and behave like MC Search from Third Bass, dispelling the myths and lies told about our People. We can respect his efforts, but that sword cannot be removed because of the nature and track record of them as a People. Trust in it and you may be “fooled” again (25/1-36)! For those youngsters who say they know their Lessons, Allah has been most merciful. If you want to show more leniency, remember these points. So that is the Truth and this is Pro-Righteousness!

Professionalism and Public Images of Civilization

‘Consideration’ is our ability to think about how our words/actions effect ourselves and others before we speak or act upon something. It’s a process of making sure we do the Knowledge (Aware) before the Wisdom (Discernment), because we Understand (See) the effects of our words/actions. To Civilized People, this is a Righteous obligation, not an option or elective...

With the popularity of Reality Shows and ‘rewarding bad behavior’ approach towards the crass, uncivilized, and unprofessional attitudes displayed in mainstream HipHop, basic ‘Consideration’ has become a lost art amongst People. I can understand those who have an allegiance to these American Cultural Trends that are going with this flow, b.u.t. this mentality/behavior is totally unacceptable for Gods/Earths or any person, whether Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or etc.., who professes to live in accordance to a standard of Civilization, Righteousness, or Godliness.

Recently I had a conversation about the importance of being aware of what we say/do as a Representative/Contact Person within our Culture. Part of this conversation involved me sharing some of my experience as a Public Figure who's been doing Community Work for many years now. As an add-on to that conversation, I just wanted to share with you a few points of interest.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that whenever we take a stance of responsibility within our Families and Communities, we are expressing a position of Leadership. This is Leadership because we are actively involving ourselves in the solution process of addressing current/future problems. Leadership doesn’t just mean you’re THE Head, Leadership means you’re a part of the ‘ship’ to ‘lead’ People in the right direction. Anytime we take responsibility for Leadership, we must be ‘Considerate’; able to think about how our words/actions effect ourselves and others before we speak or act upon something. To claim responsibility and then minimize or dismiss the importance of maintaining a Professional, Mature, and Respectable Public Image to those within our Family and Community is not showing a sense of ‘Consideration’. The People whom we are claiming to assist are already looking towards us for guidance and support in addressing their needs, and to have an Attitude like “it doesn’t matter what People think”, “What I do is my business”, “I’m not a Leader”, or anything else that displays no ‘Consideration’ for our constituents is detrimental to building positive/consistent Relationships with them. For example: It’s like working with the youth during the day and then not caring if they cee you selling crack on the block at night… It’s like talking about how much of a God/Earth I am on FB one minute and then five minutes later posting about how the b*tches/n*ggas had it poppin at the strip club last night… Again, ‘Consideration’ is our ability to think about how our words/actions effect ourselves/others before we speak or act upon something. It’s impossible to demonstrate and maintain effect Leadership without a level of ‘Consideration’.

Secondly, in order to even be ‘Considerate’, we must be able to listen. That’s right, LISTEN. Most People don’t know how to listen and that’s one of the main reasons why we don’t learn anything –from others or through our life experiences. Non-listeners either cut People off so they can say whatever they want to say, or simply wait for People to take a breath so they can jump in and say whatever they want to say. Add unbridled emotions to this otherwise poor display of communication and it’s a sure shot recipe for disaster. Rarely do you cee effective communication taking place between People where one person speaks while the other is listening, and then they exchange roles until they both have an understanding about the information being exchanged. It’s a skill! A discipline even, and not everyone is interested in really hearing what others have to say. If you listen closely you’ll notice that they really just like hearing the sound of their own voice bouncing off of you.

The Third point I want to make is in regards to Professionalism and Public Image. There is no substitute for Professionalism, none. How many times have you gotten terrible, unprofessional service at a Store/Restaurant and have vowed never to go back again? Hey, the food or goods may have been great quality b.u.t. because of the lack of service you received, maybe even on more than one occasion, you decided to not patronize this establishment anymore. Well, teaching Civilization is the same way. As Civilized People, we must always anticipate People’s needs and exceed their expectations! This is the greatest service you can provide for someone, so it’s important that we’re Professional; or People will decide to never come back, AND tell many other People about how negative their experience was! Because of our standards of being those who have “knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement, and are not savages in the pursuit of happiness” (17/1-40), our job is 25/8 (not 24/7). We are not only on the Stage of Humanity, we set the Stage, and as The Fathers and Mothers of Civilization, People should always be able to look at us as models of Integrity and Wisdom. Even on our sick day we should be great! This means that our outward Public Image should coincide with the Principles and Values we inwardly subscribe to. What People cee on the outside should be synonymous with what’s ticking on the inside. How we’re living at Home should be a reflection of what we’re doing Abroad. Everyone who claims to be God/Earth is an Ambassador of our Culture. If you’re a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or etc.., you are an Ambassador of your Religion/Metaphysical System. What is the purpose of claiming something, that’s supposed to help you become a better person, if you don’t care how it effects (looks, feels, instructs, etc...) others? To me, this sounds like someone who wants the milk and no responsibility for milking the cow. It looks like a person who wants fulltime pay and benefits without being responsible for doing the work… Not only is it selfish, immature, and Egotistical, b.u.t. it’s also completely inconsiderate to expect that People be receptive to any and everything we want to say/do (our Public Image), and then dismiss their thoughts/feelings about it by proclaiming, “I don’t care what People think/say about what I do”. Not only has this person closed themselves off from receiving any comments or constructive criticism that will be effective in helping them grow, b.u.t. they’ve put a great big sign on their back that reads, “please kick me!” Being aware of our Image and how we represent ourselves to the Public is only an advantage to us, and the lack of awareness or outright inconsideration of our Public Image will always be a disadvantage and eventually our demise.

In closing, I want to encourage all of us who claim to uphold the meaning of Civilization and duty of a Civilized Person to continue taking the higher road and being a beacon of light/life amongst our People and the Human Family as a whole. What we’re saying/doing should matter first to the person in the mirror, and then this ‘Consideration’ must extend to our Family and Communities. By claiming Righteousness, we have taken upon the responsibility of adding our contributions to make this World a better place than when we got here. This is a Professional endeavor and demands the work of People who are unwilling to cut corners, take shorts, and do a half-ass job. That is unacceptable! This means that we must provide exceptional service to our People by anticipating their needs and exceeding their expectations of what being the True and Living God/Earth, a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, or etc... is!

Peace,
Saladin

Construction Sign

Building; a 'pro-action' word

The terminology “Building” has and is being used so loosely that I thought that it’s important to clarify what this exactly means.

First and foremost, to “Build” means ‘To Construct’. In the most simplistic terms: If the activities we’re participating in are not Constructive, than that’s a clear sign that we’re not actually Building; it’s Destroying. Why? Because we are not elevating our/anyone’s thought process, way of approaching/assessing Life, and circumstances we/they are living in. As a matter of fact, if what we’re conversing about is Constructive, then the evidence of it’s application should be apparent in our people activities (how we’re actually living). For example, if I’m talking about how the Black Man is God, then I shouldn’t be in and out of Court/Jail for crimes I’m committing. If I’m calling myself a Queen, then my living environment or my attitude should not be a hovel.

Building is not an action word, it’s a ‘pro-action’ word! To exemplify what “Building” means it requires that something is actually being done, Constructively. Many times I hear People talking about a lot of things, even in a highly intelligent way, b.u.t. nothing to very little in their day to day activities even remotely resembles what they’re saying… Hey, we all have potential, b.u.t. all of us aren’t doing something with it. When a person is actually Building, they realize that they’re only as good as the last Project they completed, Knowledge they gained, and Skill they’ve acquired. They’re constantly elevating, learning, and growing, and this is clearly evident in how they look, what they’re doing, and how they’re talking. Because they’re being Constructive, the activities they’re invested in are models for sustainability; they’re not self important, materialistic, hedonistic pursuits because these things don’t last! That’s important to note because People may get the impression that someone is Building just because they’re doing something… Let me emphasize again that it must be Constructive: elevating our/anyone’s thought process, way of approaching/assessing Life, and circumstances we/they are living in. This is not because I say so, b.u.t. because these requirements dictate the nature and function of Building. In other words, what we’re doing endures because it stands the test of time, tension, and integrity. An example of this is a Relationship that’s Built upon the Principle of Love; it endures!

Although People may be under the impression that this terminology means “Conversing with another person”, that is not entirely accurate. Building is not about what you’re saying, pontificating, the rhetoric being spewed, lingo that’s flipped & bounced, intellectualizing, or heated debates. The real emphasis is on how we’ve done or are doing what we’re saying, AND how this has been instrumental in elevating our/anyone’s thought process, way of approaching/assessing Life, and circumstances we/they are living in. Building is not Cellphone Philosophizing, Blog Boastin', or Fakebookin'… AKA 'Ghosts in the Shell'! Building also isn't sterile rants & raves about Academic Achievements in Mathematics/Science that lack a clear plan of action of how to use, and how WE ARE actually using these Achievements to better our Families, Community, and People. When I say “I’m Building!” then I should have something to actually show for it, literally. If we’re studying Lessons/Scripture, then our life should demonstrate what we actually learned from that Lesson/Script, literally! The purpose of our study is not a philosophical exercise to talk about some historical events, or to show eachother how smart we are about something that clearly has nothing to do with why we still haven’t started our own business/got a job, we’re no step closer to being in a Relationship, our Attitude/Behavior in handling situations has not matured, or we’re still holding on to a nasty habit that’s actually killing us. We need to be more committed to eliminating the contradictions between what we say and what we’re actually doing or not doing. We need to be more dedicated to growth & development than just reading a few pages of a book every other day, surfing the net to check out some things we’re curious about, or using People to feel motivated. If we’re going to Build then we need to be Constructive and stop procrastinating with our Life! Set short/long term Goals that are realistic and achievable, and work EVERY DAY to make them a reality while we’re doing what’s real. No that last sentence wasn’t a typo! Lol I made sure to state “while we’re doing what’s real”, because many of us may find ourselves waiting on that train to come in, long suffering until we die and go to heaven, or believing that one day in the future everything is just going to work out for us WHILE completely neglecting the work reality of today and our present-date resources and circumstances. At the end of each day, we should be taking Inventory of the quality of time we invested –which we will never get back. While assessing the quality of this time, we should be able to clearly cee and articulate how we’ve used it to elevate, learn, and grow. I’m not talking about using Supreme Mathematical tricks to try to rationalize a mediocre, mundane existence, or making Religious/Astrological abstractions in order to spice up a bland, flavorless lifestyle. I’m talking about being able to identify/demonstrate how we’ve literally elevated our/anyone’s thought process, way of approaching/assessing Life, and circumstances we/they are living in.

In closing, I challenge all of us to begin TODAY by honestly taking an Inventory of our day before we go to rest tonight. Consider what you actually did to elevate your/anyone’s thought process, way of approaching/assessing Life, and circumstances you/they are living in. Ask yourself how you were actually an asset to your Family, Community, and Society as a whole, and how you were a liability (procrastination? apathy?). Make a plan of ‘pro-action’ for tomorrow of how you are (not wish, hope, or want to) going to improve how you invested your time today, and commit yourself to it. (11/1-14) If we’re going to be a Builder than lets be that for real, and we can start by actually doing something Constructive today.

Peace!

Proper Station Identification
by Lord Life Justice

Most of us will agree that the Black Man is God; whose knowledge is infinite within his potential; which corresponds to Allah within physical manifestation as God or a divinely behaving Black Man. Equally we can say that the producer of all knowledge, as well as the physical manifestation of all energy and power to express the will of Allah, is born through the feminine factor of life known as substance, which corresponds to the Black Woman within the realm of physical manifestations; in which we call Equality or more centrally-- the Earth. Most of us bear witness to these two concepts. Most of us grasp that this is who we truly are; meaning that we comprehend this should be our outlook for everyday in our lives. When we sing "The Enlightener," we say that the culture of Gods and Earths is "I-God." This is recognized by most of us as "I God is a divine culture" and the culture of those who claim that “I am God” or “I am Earth”. As well, it means the "I" represents the word Islam-- which translates into I Self Lord and Master or I Sincerely Love Allah's Math-ematics-- which contains the "science of everything in life." But when it comes down to living out this culture, many of us do not live out the true culture of I-God: Many live out a hybrid of (1) What one may comprehend concerning One Hundred and Twenty Lessons, (2) what one may have been accustomed to before one received the knowledge (which is conditioning, taught behavior, proclivities, habits, impulses, drives, sentimentalities, etc.), (3) And a strange blend of what we were taught in the devil's civilization, when we were in the grave as "babies" (24/1-36), as opposed what one begins to understand concerning the Knowledge of who they really are (the True Self). For some of us, this is represented by a life of rationalizing bad habits and tendencies-- a.k.a. not acknowledging that these tendencies have their origin in a time when we were "other than ourselves" (12/1-36). This becomes further complicated, when one accepts their former behavior as appropriate (or the RIGHT way to be), within the context of now having "Knowledge of Self"-- which has one expressing a culture not much different than the eighty-five percent, being totally unaware of those ways which originate from the Devil's culture (or demon education); which has one appear savage acting and hypocritical. This is very strange for a Man who says he is God or a Woman who says she is Earth; who is supposed to be showing the uncivilized people in the world a "civilized way." For this type of behavior, THERE IS A CONTRADICTION BETWEEN WHAT IS SAID AND WHAT IS DONE.

Let's give an example: "The Art of Woo-ing Women" is really a Western concept. That is, The Art of relationships are not defined in the East as they are in the West. And since there is a difference, our culture requires that we "Do-the-Knowledge on things like this. "To Woo" is defined as "a courtship with the hope of marrying." It requires certain things from the man and the woman: These "certain things" may or may not correspond to what is truly appropriate (RIGHT)(1), or needed in a situation (2); or as they say on the street, In keeping with "Keeping It Real" (3), but still “they continue daily” (13/1-40). Any way, in the West, the Man wins the Woman over by doing things to "keep her smiling and laughing, and providing things to make her happy." This becomes a primary function of a male in a Western type of relationship: He is supposed to "make her happy by providing things," while she is supposed to "make him comfortable." Now, most of us are not "First generation Wise Men or Wise Women from the East." We were raised within the confines of the "U-S of A." Much of what we know about Woo-ing comes from books, TV shows, movies, music, school, friends, adults and misguided parents who live within the West. The only way we found out about Eastern and Western differences is reasoning and seeking knowledge of such things later on (and if you watch a lot of sit-coms they will discourage things like this by poking fun at many Eastern things such as Yoga, Meditation, Vegetarianism, etc.). And as a matter of fact, most of us never really put too much thought into the "ins-and outs" about our ideas concerning relationships-- and that is the major problem (most believe in the 10 percent on face value-- 9/1-40). So here he goes, "trying to make her happy" and she sits, "in the judgment box, rating his performance." She takes out her calculator and adds up the assets of her "would-be fiance"-- for everyone knows that song: "No romance without finance-- you got to have a j-o-b, if you want to be with me." She rates the contestants and he's just going out of his way to win her over. Visualize a "successful affluent White businessman" buying her "diamonds and furs" to make her "cat purr," while Kitty strokes his back and rubs his ego; telling him "how good he is to her" (comforting), while he thinks about "what a ‘catch’ she is" or "how he owns her because of his money"... anyone who watched Stanley Kubricks movie "Eyes Wide Shut" knows what my person is talking about.

My question is, "What if a Blackman who says he has "Knowledge of Self" and believes in this type of cultural philosophy, pairs up with a Blackwoman who is a malcontent (never satisfied)?" What do you think would be the outcome? Well, he probably believes that ideology on "relationship philosophy" is something he came up with on his own (a.k.a. truly his own feelings/ not societies), because it would be difficult to trace how this school of thought became part of his life. And since this God has western ideas concerning relationships, whenever he thinks a woman is cute, gorgeous, hot, or special, or the power-you is "fantastic", he will try his best to appease her by pleasing her desires. More than likely, he will not look at the fact that because he is trying to "please her or make her happy," this ideology will put "her" in the "driver's seat," to make all the "judgment" calls or he will face her dissatisfaction. This Western role however, places "Her" in direct conflict with "His" role as "head of the Kingdom" (knowledge the math of He and Her/ Build or Destroy). Although he may get tired of trying to "make her happy," he won't want "Grumpy Power-You," so he will not "stand-by his principles," which he should-- he will (more accurately) give into his own lust factors and co-sign the B.S.-- never realizing how this philosophy directly undermines his authority to make decisions (she might not be happy with the choices, and since he tries to keep her happy...). And since she is a malcontent, she will never be reasonable or content with anything; therefore, nothing he does will ever be good enough in her eyes. But still he believes... So he will keep on trying and trying --making more and more concessions and compromises as far as his culture of I-God is concerned-- until he is finally unhappy and vexed about his situation (but that won't matter to her as long as she is getting what she wants). In this school of thought, "appeasing a woman to insure that you will have sex with a female," is more important than all the unpleasantness one will go through in order to achieve such a goal (no wonder some women believe their vagina is paved with gold). Of course, this behavior (on both parts) leads to the objectification of Women since granted, if the price or acquisition is what she wants, the implied goal is a woman who will gratify his lust. What is not discussed here, is that she may lust for him also but, she deceives him into thinking that there's nothing for her in the exchange but the things she asks for (of course, while receiving two types of pay-offs); which in itself is prostitution.

Many White Men in Western culture prefer to seek Women how don't care about being an object: I.e. they would prefer a wife and sex slave preferably in the same package-- either that or promiscuity: an "allowed affair" with some mistress in an obscure part of town, or "nights-out at the tittie bar equipped with pole-cats," finishing up at a house of prostitution or back room affair. Take a look at the world around you and you will see that everywhere where there is an American or European military base, there are these kinds of places of ill-repute. A lot of Colored Men will knowingly marry whores, "call-girls," and/or prostitutes (because underneath it all they have that overall opinion about Women anyway). Now we can understand why the White Man does this (after-all, it is his culture which matches his nature), but why is the Black Man also doing these things? Because “they were made blind, deaf, and dumb when they were babies” (24/1-36): When he was brought here, he had everything stripped from him-- including his language (and in the course of time and generations, even his memories of his homeland. This effectively removed his own elements of culture and brought him (or her) to an uncivilized state. Made to feel insecure as a result of it, eventually he became other than himself (4-12/1-36). The responsibility of a culture is to provide guidance along moral and ethical lines (which we can see that Western civilization is full of many contradictions). And by not having a full understanding of what a righteous culture is, some Black Men began to adopt the culture of the people who enslaved his ancestors, through constant exposure to the use of various cultural elements, icons, and celebrities. He began to believe the religion given to him during slavery is the religion to follow.

But what is even more destructive to our awareness, is the use of the White Man's language and its concepts behind it. Why? Because inside every language is words which are a group of concepts, represented by words), which describe how a people look at things in everyday life; covering every aspect. Words in a language are more religious than religion itself. It is the people's way of thinking, conceptualizing, believing, desiring, and dreaming. This was taken away from the Black Man during the acts of slavery. But what is even worst, is the commonly held belief by most people concerning words which is: BECAUSE A WORD MAY EXIST IN A PARTICULAR LANGUAGE, MOST PEOPLE HAVE THE OPINION THAT THE CONCEPT, WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY THAT WORD, MUST ALSO EXIST AND/OR IS REAL AND TRUE. This error is a very glaring mistake, because there are several words in the English language which have concepts which defy reasoning and logic. Yet because of this philosophy, most people will still believe such concepts, and the meanings behind those words, are so. Close observation of any good movie will reveal to the observer the use of excellent word-play and dialogue between the characters. This dialogue, which often make subtle observations between two or more words and their relationships, showcases points that the screen writer or author wants to illustrate as well as elaborate on. Sometimes the analogy is so compelling to the viewer, that we may even quote several parts of the screenplay. This type of exercise by playwrights and authors is good because it teaches us how to analyze concepts behind several words for their validity or whether or not we should subscribe to the concepts behind those meanings. In short, THESE EXERCISES ARE ONE OF THE WAYS TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. This must have been the sort of thing The Father had in his third, when he said: "WE SHOULD NEVER TAKE THINGS ON FACE VALUE."

With this concept in mind, let us look at the above example of relationships in the west, versus rational thought and critical thinking. First of all, LOVE IS NOT POSSESSION AND PEOPLE ARE NOT OBJECTS TO BE OWNED BY OTHER HUMAN BEINGS: Meaning: I don't own you and you don't own me! Hopefully if we sojourn together, we come together because of mutual understanding (12= 1+2=3) and common goals. THIS MAKES US BIGGER THAN YOU AND ME; FOR WE CANNOT HAVE A UNIVERSE WITHOUT U-N-I (you and I). "It takes TWO to make a thing go right!" THEREFORE TRUE LOVE IS A PROPER EXPRESSION OF UNDERSTANDING. Showing and proving that "The Understanding is the Best Part of The Original: It represents our Love as unified for a common cause: IT IS OUR UNITY, EXPRESSED LIKE BEING INCORPORATED; THE RELATIONSHIP IS THE COMBINING OF THE TWO PARTS INTO ONE ENTITY. WE ARE ONE, AS ALLAH IS ONE-- not separate parts! Allah, the Omniscient One, had knowledge of all, before things were even created. This knowledge must have included gender/masculine and feminine aspects long before forms were created to express it; otherwise, Allah would not be Omniscient. Omniscient means having infinite awareness and insight and/or possessed of universal or complete knowledge and is one part of the three major aspects the Supreme being must possess. The other two are Omnipotent and Omnipresent. To say that the knowledge of the feminine or masculine aspect was not always with Allah eternally, is to deny Allah as being Omniscient or all knowing... However, the expression of such knowledge, awareness or familiarity was not applicable or expressed BEFORE the creation of physical world. Allah is One, yet all things in life (physical universe) is dual (two complementary aspects). When we talk about the masculine and feminine factors BEFORE CREATION, they are merely correspondences (congruencies) according to various similarities they have in common with beings in the physical realm. During creation, gender was made manifest when living beings were made manifest to carry out the dual aspects of roles that all complex creatures must do in behalf of the continuation for the species. These roles complement each other. If I select a Earth to complement my person, we do so because of your ability to reason things out and coincide with Mathematics, which means: to use your powers to manifest that which is appropriate for our relationship and the nature of things. Conversely, you should choose me as your God because I manifest the ways of the righteous-- my rules appropriate goes according to Mathematics-- meaning you know you will be provided for and taken care of, because of my equality. It's all about US and not just me: The "Relationship of We" is more important than You or Me! The preservation of the relationship take precedence over our personal desire! In other words, I sacrifice in behalf of the survival of my Kingdom! If I buy you things, it is because of the way you are, as well as how you display your persons in our relationship; not just to appease you so I can continue to have sex... It is a reflection concerning your way; a mere token of appreciation for "all the things you are" to me. You are dear to me and this relationship-- which shows that "you and I dream as one."

If I pay a Woman for services rendered, "prostitution is all that it is", period. If the roles are reversed, the man would be a gigolo and prostitution would still apply, with just the word "male" in front of it. In the western world, there are a lot of Women discontent with their roles and people (both male and female) feeling they are trapped in the wrong body. There may be other types of people who entertain similar ideas in the East, but nowhere is the means of expression indulged as it is in the Western world. It is very much so a part of European culture, and vastly becoming part of the American expression (as Europe’s ‘New World’). There has been various classes given to Women in the west to be more assertive, which usually culminates into a certain brand of forcefulness that a lot of males find intolerable because amongst males, this type of forcefulness would usually be followed up with violence and war. It comes as no surprise that a lot of the Feminist Organizations which advocate such procedures are often headed by those who are not content with their roles, often feeling they are trapped in the wrong body. It is only logical because the procedures they advocate are very problematic for those heterosexuals looking for righteous solutions between Men and Women. But as it was said earlier, we can see why Whites do this, it is a part of their cultural "growth" and development, but why are we Blacks reflecting this behavior when our culture offers us other alternatives?

There is a lot of "freelancers and fly-by-night-ers" out there; both male and female. This is a philosophy of getting what one wants/and using people “as a tool and also a slave” (6/1-14) to get it. Doing what ever it takes in order to have ones way, without concerning your person with what it does to the other person involved, is not civilized or product of self development. This is what was done to Non-White People by the Colored (White) Man and indicates of low-life, immature mentality (low mode of human functioning). A civilized culture or civilized behavior is not about "being serviced" or getting your "freak-on," while pretending to be looking for a true bond or a decent relationship... If you think like THIS, you'll never be compatible with those who think like THAT SAID PERSON OF THAT ABILITY or civilized people (20/1-40)! These qualities are clearly qualities of lesser abilities, displaying lesser value, and should be considered "as-is" and for what it is. As a righteous person, you will be getting the "short-end of the stick." The Western Man plays the "name your price" game because he considers both Men and Women as "his possession-at-a-price (make you my beach)". Whether at the workplace or in bed, he shows this nature all-around-the-world especially when they are not of his race or stock of people. That's why if he doesn't want you to have a say in the politics of his game he will buy you out, so that your word will have no bearing on his politics. That's also why so many Colored Men do not have a problem marrying a prostitute or "pole-cat." She is his silent sex partner and Her Value is Her Price: WHETHER THIS IS ONE MAN OVER THE LONG HAUL OR SEVERAL MEN OVER A SHORT COURSE OF TIME. You want to be a SHOT CALLER? Consider mutual understanding, reasoning and mutual interests in a mate, someone who will do right because it is the right thing to do... As I Freedom Born once said, "The only Earths you 'make' (1/1-10) is the ones you father through your seed"-- the rest is a negotiation with a reasonable female over a rational idea. You can convince a reasonable female with the right idea, but you cannot force a person to be righteous in their heart when they are not feeling it in their soul. And please don't confuse "persuasiveness" with "maker." "The Earth orbits around the Sun, but she also Rotates On Her Own Axis"... Just because they didn't tell you, and you are too full of "yourself" to observe, it doesn't mean she feels it in her heart: She is only doing what she thinks it takes in order to survive and get what she wants. You'll be able to see how things really are when she becomes disenchanted. Forget those females with Single-minded thought and forget those Men who want to treat you like an object, instead of the qualities you possess... What you put in, should be equal to what you get out. [Why do you think she's called Equality?]

Secondly, CONCERNING "MAKING SOMEONE HAPPY"... One of the main rules in Knowledge of Self (at least when my persons received it) is "never take anything on face value." You should investigate and "everything must be "shown forth and proved." Even the Bible says to "Study to show thy self approved". Mostly everyone wants the power associated with being in control, but few of us are willing to go through the refinement necessary to elevate to this level of equality. Like Grand Agent once said, [Life is a] "refinement assignment." What you put in, you truly get out. If you ever wonder why it is "easy to be led in the wrong direction" (14/1-40), it is because it doesn't take much of an effort; you can just let things happen. Refinement utilizes a lot more power than just following your feelings. But "following your feelings" is foreign to the "Knowledge of Self" concept. God knowledge’s (stop, look, listen and observe) his equality (emotions)! God does so, because he realizes that the nature of equality is "unknown" (unpredictable) without proper principles and procedures to govern them. THE PROBLEM IS YOU LEARNED ABOUT BEING EMOTIONAL AND GOING WITH THE FLOW OF YOUR FEELINGS, LONG BEFORE YOU LEARNED ABOUT WHAT THE PROPER DEFINITION OF WHAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS. You were taught long before you got your hands on One Hundred and Twenty Lessons, that "you shouldn't fight your feelings", "hunches and feelings are intuitive", etc.. What we were accustomed to before we received knowledge is that "you are only human". This concept is foreign to the Knowledge of Self concept: This concept teaches that we are divine beings dwelling in a fleshly body. We were also taught that Man/Woman has to be "reborn with the knowledge before he/she can enter into the kingdom of God" (13/1-40). The problem is both of these philosophies can exist within the same person, subliminally interfering with a person striving to exercise some refinement! (end of Part One)

How to MEET our obligations

I’m driving pass the local High School recently just as Summer School was letting out and it looked like a regular School Day. I couldn’t believe how many children were registered! As a form of general conversation I often ask the youth I come into contact with, "Are you going to Summer School?" and many of them shamefully say, "Yes", usually for Math, Science, and Language Arts. Through one of my close Associates who works for the School District, I also learned that many youth were turned down for Summer School because too many were already registered. Now what surprised me most was the large number of youth who are in Summer School this year for… drum roll… Gym. Yeah, that’s right "GYM"! Who fails GYM?! If the only thing you’re passing in School is ‘The Office’ so you can go to Lunch, and then ‘Gas’ after you eat it, something is terribly wrong with that picture… Aside from the obviously low pay our Teachers get and the poor Curriculum, there’s a serious level of apathy I cee in today’s youth I didn’t cee growing up. I mean, I’m sure some of us were apathetic because I, and my entire Science Class, went to Summer School in 8th Grade for fooling around all year. Yet I have never even fathomed the type of apathy that would have youth, who are not overweight, going to Summer School for Gym. -smh-

Anyway, this serves as one of our biggest challenges for us as Adults, yes even those of you who have taken the initiative to Home School "your" child(ren). Home Schooled children undoubtedly come into contact with other youth who go to Public, Private, and Charter Schools, and apathy is as catchy as pink eye at a daycare. So in otherwords, the youth are ALL of our responsibility regardless where we live it, and even if we don’t have any children of our own. Part of our responsibility is to help encourage our youth to develop a greater passion for learning, growing, and utilizing the resources available to them to help shape "their" destiny -key word being "their". I mention "their" simply because if the youth cannot relate or cee a personal interest in it then it won’t mean anything, even when it’s the truth. The youth are the Ambassadors of the future whether they’re prepared or not, and if we aren’t actively making our contribution to help them solve present day problems, we’re adding to future our problems. So how can we, as Adults, help them MEET the expectations of bringing about a greater World than the one we were given responsibility for keeping? Well here is a simple formula I want to encourage you all to apply with the youth, starting with the youth in your own Family, extending to your Community, and then elsewhere.

MEET

M - Make a commitment to be a part of the solution, not the problem. I’m sure many People could relate about the apathy amongst our youth b.u.t. how many of us are actually doing something about it? Are we really committed to cee our youth do better or content with ceeing them frustratingly on a quest for fire? Once our word is bond, that bond will be life, and we should be willing to give our life before our word shall fail, just like we do with anything else we feel/believe is important to us.

E - Examine the reasons for the apathy our youth are experiencing. This means to listen! As Adults many of us are so involved in talking at, talking above, talking around, and talking about our youth that we rarely take the time to actually listen to their concerns, which are legitimate I might add. Listening means taking the time to find out what they think, like, feel, cee, and believe WITHOUT adding our two cents, cutting them off, or telling them what to do. When was the last time you too the time to listen to an Artist who’s lyrics they quote better than a Preacher quotes Bible verses? What was the last movie you went to cee that they counted the minutes, seconds, and hours down to when it comes out? How many times have you actually asked the youth about their day and what’s going on with them and mean it? The Generation Gap we cee is really a Communication Gap, and until we learn how to listen, it will be impossible to (re)establish the relationships with our youth to help close this Gap. If we’re honestly not listening to them, why should they listen to us anyway? -shrugs- We can't ask for what we're not willing to give...!

E - Explore goals/interests that you both share. This establishes a level of Social Equality because now you’re no longer -total- strangers. If you both can’t stand broccoli, watch WWE, enjoy reading, or didn’t like how Bella treated Jacob on Twilight, or any number of things, that’s common ground to build on! Because you’ve already started to really listen to what they think, like, feel, cee, and believe, now you’ve begun to be exposed to things you may have never heard about and even start developing a real interest in. My prejudicial opinion of Drake was that he was W.A.C.K. until my oldest Queen put me on to him; we bumped his Album all Summer a couple years ago. When I first heard about ‘The Pack’ Rapper named Lil B and his BasedGod Movement from some of the youth, I didn’t hesitate to learn what this is about, and because I follow up with them about various things I obviously don’t understand, they don’t hesitate to teach me. Because I’ve learned to "preserve the best part for myself and not be concerned (not care) about the poor part" (1/1-14) when it's appropriate, Yes there are some things I’ve found that are in common with how I cee Life, and these are the things that have helped further solidify our relationship. Now when I cee other youth and talk with them about it, they welcome me as a Newborn, after of course they first look at me like, "Who initiated you into our Society?" Lol If there is no common ground, you can’t build with anybody, especially the youth.

T - Think outside of your box for solutions. When it comes to addressing the apathy our youth have towards Self/Academic Education, and some things that our youth may think, like, feel, cee, and believe that aren’t positive/productive, we have to be creative. We have to come up with solutions that are a Win-Win situation for us both. For example, one day one of my Queens tried to put me onto Nicki Minaj and instead of me throwing up, I told her she wasn’t as nice as Lil Kim. Obviously she disagreed, so we pulled up Youtube on our laptops and went song for song between Nicki and Kim, critiquing both lyrics and technique. There were some songs Nicki got her on and others Kim won, yet that wasn’t my determined idea. In time I discreetly began to sneak MC Lyte (whom she already knew about), Isis, Rage, Bahamadia, Heather B.,Yo-Yo (who she thought was super wack), Boss, and other MC’s in there in order to expose her to other Female Artists. The Win-Win situation in this case was both of us considering something different; thinking outside of the box! How’s that for creativity? Lol Sometimes we have to be even more creative than that, and the "determined idea" (24/1-40) is to agree upon something you’re both willing/able to live with. Some Adults go amongst the youth with this chip on their shoulder like it’s all about what they’re going to teach them -with no respect or consideration for their choice to listen and learn, just like we have. Just getting the youth to consider what you have to offer, just like them getting you to consider what they have to offer, is a huge accomplishment. This is a major contribution to closing the Communication Gap between Generations.

Before we can even strive to tackle the problems going on outside, we have to first address the problems going on inside. Summer School is only the out-side effects of problems going on inside our Families and Communities. Some of the apathy the youth have is simply a mirror reflection of our apathy as their Parents, Guides, Community Leaders, and Elders. If you’re not passionate about something then the youth definitely won’t be inspired by you. The reason I expressed the above formula (MEET) was to demonstrate how this is an interactive endeavor. Why? Because we grow together! And some of you probably thought that we’ll solve these problems going on with youth within our Families/Communities by sharing wisdom from our front porch like robins feed baby birds. No, you may have to play video games, go sledding, play soccer, and do other things the youth do. If you’re not committed to them, in action, why should you expect them to be committed to you? Once we’ve committed ourselves to helping our youth grow and develop, we’ll better position ourselves to MEET a brighter future for us all. By becoming more involved in their lives, our lives, we will better equip the youth with the tools necessary to bring about change. So I challenge all of you to help and continue to help our youth grow into the responsible stewards of a future World. The more they cee and get the encouragement from us to do better, they will. You did! -smile-

Peace!

Stagnation...

Contradictions with True Self Identification

When a person comes into KOS (Knowledge of Self), we go through a process of reevaluating our Philosophies on Life. We begin to question ideas/beliefs we’ve held about God, Family, Relationships, Diet, Education, Entertainment, and everything else that represents one’s way of life (Culture). As we reevaluate these Philosophies there are three things that happen to us:

1. We learn that there are some things in our Philosophy that are still valuable/true.

2. We learn that there are some things in our Philosophy that are no longer valuable/true.

3. We learn new Philosophies on life that are valuable/true that we may have never heard before or never considered much.

This reevaluation process brings us to a valley of decision each time we question an idea/belief. When we began to learn about the health issues that come along with eating pork and pork by-products, we had to make a decision about our diet. Some of us stopped immediately, others took some time to stop consuming it, while others still chose not change their diet at all. Because this is a process, there are still ideas/beliefs People are dealing with that do not completely coincide with KOS, myself included, and these are called ‘CONTRADICTIONS’ (an incompatibility/inconsistency between two or more propositions). This is the importance of our reevaluation process and Building with one another; we are constantly learning the right ways to resolve these contradictions for the purpose of positive growth & development. In the 13/1-40 we learn that a small percentage (10%) of Caucasians that represent the Wealthy/Elite within the Dominant Society we live in "continues daily to teach" the masses of People many of these contradictions in order to "make -mental/physical- slaves out of all they can, so they can rob them and live in luxury" (12/1-40). Because ‘they continue daily’ to inundate us with ideas/beliefs that contradict our Philosophy on Life, we are constantly in a state of psychological, socioeconomic, physiological, and agricultural warfare. There are two types of People who are dealing with these contradictions; those who are striving to do something about it, and those who’re aren’t striving to do something about it.

Those who are striving to do something about it are actively involved in ways to resolve what they honestly acknowledge as a contradiction. If they smoke cigarettes they’ll be honest about what they’ve chosen to be addicted to and if they’re not involved in some type of program, they’ll be showing clear behavior/signs towards quitting. Those who aren’t striving to do anything about it are still in love with these ideas/beliefs and don’t want to give up these contradictions. If they smoke cigarettes they won’t be honest about what they’ve chosen to be addicted to and won’t be involved in any program or show any clear behavior/signs towards quitting. As a matter of fact they’ll often try to justify why they do it by making illogical statements like, "I’m not hurting anybody but myself", as if they have no relationship/responsibility to a collective that will be effected by their sickness or physical death, "I do what I want in my own Universe", again, as if they have no relationship/responsibility to a collective that will be effected by their choices, and "Just because I smoke, it doesn’t make what I’m saying not true or me any less of a God!", which is essentially right & exact, because it doesn’t make what they’re saying untrue, it makes them untrue for choosing to justify doing the complete opposite. While the former perspective of doing something about our contradictions is a natural part of growing up, and the reason why we Build with eachother; to help elevate, the later perspective of not doing something about it is not natural, and the reason why we Destroy.

One of the biggest contradictions I cee, particularly amongst Gods and People who claim to identify themselves with/as The Supreme Being, is how they also hold fast to Philosophies like "I’m only human", "No one is perfect", "That’s just how I am", "You made me do it", "We all fall short or make mistakes", "I can’t", etc… Either we truly cee ourselves as having no limitations with infinite potential (Supreme), or deep down inside we really believe we’re only human and everybody makes mistakes. Either we have this Supreme ability to rise above and respond to any circumstance, or we don’t! Those who are still secretly in love with ideas/beliefs that contradict a Godly Perspective, become Cultural "Traders"; trying to use illogic, justifications, and rationalizations to make "interpretations" (28/1-36) of what clearly doesn’t coincide with this way of life. The bottom line is this: Regardless of what we’re into or may choose to do that is a contradiction towards growth & development, are we striving to Build or Destroy, Elevate or Degenerate?

In regards to proper Identification, once we decide to identify our Self with/as The Supreme Being, there are certain ideas/beliefs we can no longer accept as true, and contradictions we cannot live with. Why? Because certain ideas/beliefs reflect the mentality and procedures of someone who doesn’t identify themselves with/as The Supreme Being. If you’re really The Supreme Being, then how can somebody "make you" mad or make you do anything for that matter? If you’re really The Supreme Being, then how can you claim to be a Libra and that’s just how you are? If you’re really The Supreme Being, then how exactly do you, The Supreme Being, actually have flaws and make mistakes? None of this adds up and there is no way to reconcile any of these Philosophies because they completely contradict eachother. On one hand we claim to have unlimited access to all Omnipotence and Omniscience, yet on the other hand we’re claiming to be only human.

In closing, I want to encourage those who are reading this to be diligent in reevaluating the words/concepts we use because many of them reinforce ideas/beliefs that completely contradict how we claim to cee ourselves. For People who don’t subscribe to the idea that they are the True & Living God, it’s fine for them to make declarations like "We all make mistakes" and "Nobody’s perfect". That directly coincides with how they cee themselves. B.u.t. for us, that’s not alright. If we subscribe to the idea that we are the True & Living God, then we don’t make mistakes. We make choices that may not have been the most allwise, right & exact. Therefore, we do not accept mistakes as who/what we essentially are; they’re learning Lessons to show forth and prove our power to transcend them. Why? Because we are essentially perfect; "undiluted, mixed, or tampered with in any ‘form’ [circumstance]" (9/1-14). Therefore, we do not accept the idea/belief that "Nobody’s perfect"; every situation we’re faced with is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how "Allah is God, always has been and always will be", because the limited conditions [circumstances] we are temporarily going through can never be Supreme over us! (38/1-40)

Maat: Truth, Justice, Order, Morality, Righteousness, Reciprocity

Righteousness (Right-Justness)

Within The NGE, we do not subscribe to the idea of being 'a subject to' or 'immobilized by' “the unexpected”. We identify our True (Essential) Self as Infinite Potential and “rightfully” hold the power to transform any and all circumstances; based upon what we choose to do, and how we choose to respond (not react) to these circumstances. The 24th Letter in the Supreme Alphabet is ‘X’, which means “The Unknown”. This only means ‘not known’ or that there is a lack of experience (2) in dealing with a certain cultural (4) phenomenon on our part. According to the 1/1-40, “we write History or Koran in advance” and “there is no Mystery God” (10/1-40). This is especially true when we’re actively writing/charting a plan and give “our word is bond, bond is ‘life’” to others involving the manifestation of this plan (11/1-14). In otherwords, as Infinite Potential, we are not subjected to the whims of Society, we are not only human, we are not helpless, we are not enslaved to habits/tendencies, and we are not imprisoned to our feelings, personal desires, and sentimentalities. We teach that the Operating System of The Universe is Mathematics and Mathematically speaking, everything in this System is based upon what is ‘Just’ (Fair) and ‘True’: AKA “Righteous”. The True (Essential) Self being The Author of this Operating System means that our Nature (Essence) is likewise “Righteous”; “His (and Her) own Self is ‘Righteous’…” (14/1-36). Even wrong is based upon what is “Right”, and according to our 38/1-40, the Devil and the chaos (aberration/deviation) surrounding him, was ultimately made by God to serve a “Righteous” purpose: “To show forth and prove his (God’s) Power that he is allwise and ‘Righteous’…” So as “Righteous” People, our bottom line must be to make the “Right” choices (“allwise”; ‘right discernment/judgment’). It's also important to understand that the “Right” choices may or may not include our personal feelings, our individual desires, or our sentimentalities. Living in a Hedonistic Society that constantly bombards us with ideas about gratifying our senses, identifying solely with our emotions/feelings, and defining our Self according to the form/flesh, many People have a very difficult time distinguishing what they personally feel from what is “Right”. In terms of “Righteousness”, what we feel, our individual desires, or our sentimentalities are only as valid as their ability to coincide with what is ‘Just’ (Fair) and ‘True’. Sometimes we may feel deeply about what’s Right and everything works out Right. Other times we might really desire something for ourselves (and others) that’s unfair/unjust, and doing what’s Right isn’t working out well. This is what distinguishes the Integrity of the Righteous and those who are lacking in Righteous Integrity (Integrity is: a sense of justness, and consistency with our word, actions, values, methods, principles, etc.). When confronted with situations that question our feelings, personal desires, and sentimentalities, are we going to do what’s ‘Right’, or try to justify doing what we really wanted/feel? So whether we may perceive/believe something to be “the unexpected”, it does not suspend the “expectation” and Law of Righteousness, nor does it change the “expected” Integrity of our word as being a bond, and that bond being life. In otherwords, just because we find our Self confronted with a situation that appears “unexpected”, we are still “expected” to make the Right choice -especially when that choice involves a consensus and affects the livelihood of others.

Some time ago I posted on my FB Page about going to The Annual Father/Daughter Dinner Dance with my youngest Queen ‘Aziza’ who was graduating from the 8th Grade. I attended the Dance with my oldest Queen ‘Asiyah’ so this meant a lot to me and I made sure that I was there! Although I planned, it did not go as expected… Once I got there, I found out that a dress was made for Aziza via her Mother, and I didn’t cee it until the day of the Event. Long story short, I definitely didn’t approve of this type of dress (and heels) for my 13 year old daughter, which Aziza was also uncomfortable with. All of my feelings about being there with her, my personal desire to cee my Queen happy, and my sentimentality about the significance of her Graduation all weighed heavy on my Mind. I discussed my stance, I strived to make some other arrangements b.u.t. her Mother was determined to follow through with her investment. Eventually, I chose to sit it out. Yes I “felt” bad, yes her Mother was mad because she got the dress made, and yes my Queen was upset that I was probably the only Father not there. Since my decision, I have since received a couple Modifications to my Support Order in the Mail via her Mother, and Aziza has just started building with me again after just a week ago. Emotionally, this wasn’t an easy decision for me at all, yet it was the ‘Right’ decision to make as a standard bearer of ‘Righteousness’ and maintaining my degree of Integrity in regards to what I know to be Just and True. When this so-called “unexpected” situation arose, I kept my word (Integrity) as bond and bond as life “regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14).

There have been situations in my Life where I wasn’t as fortunate to do what was ‘Right’ (Just and True). Instead, I chose to identify with how I felt, go according to my individual desires, and ignored my reasoning in order to be sentimental. In all of these situations where I chose to do what I wanted/felt -especially when it involved making personal sacrifices or considering others who had a voice in the situation, I paid for it. Why? Because since “Righteousness” is about doing what is ‘Just’ and ‘True’, our choices either reward or penalize us. At one time I ‘felt’ like a Woman would never lie on me in Court and I’m paying for it, literally. I once had a strong ‘desire’ to do everything within my power to educate someone, who didn’t want to learn, and almost lost my physical life in the process. I’ve also been too ‘sentimental’ about fulfilling the needs of Fatherless children and ended up being positioned/propositioned by their Mothers.

In regards to ‘Right’ as it relates to LOVE, HELL or RIGHT: LOVE is a Virtue that gives context/clarity to our feelings, desires, and sentiments yet ultimately transcends them. It is the highest degree of Understanding (Comprehension/Cognition/Clarity) between People. HELL is like ‘a tempering fire’ of experiences all Relationships go through, in order to remove it’s impurities and unveil the true substance of their bond (unity). This is the testing grounds of their individual forms/flesh that appear to separate them; where their bond (1 Mind) experiences the drama/conflict of duality (2 Forms/People), in order to Cee (3) above these physical veils. Then and only then will we reveal what’s ultimately RIGHT; ‘Just’ (Fair) and ‘True’. LOVE is a reciprocal process which demands that individual considerations and sacrifices be made in the interest of what’s ultimately RIGHT ‘Just’ (Fair) and ‘True’ for the collective. This process can be like HELL because in a Relationship we’re called upon to be considerate of others and make sacrifices above our personal feelings, desires, and sentiments. Like fire, how we handle this ‘friction’ is what ultimately determines if we shape/mold (forge) our Relationship into the ‘Divine’ work of Art it was destined to be, or ‘Destroy’ our Relationship and turn into nothing more than smoldering Ashes. We can’t receive unless we are willing to give, we cannot be felt unless we are willing to feel, and to get to it, we must be willing and courageous enough to go through it. And if “Righteousness” is our bottom line, then no weapon formed against us, our Relationships, or our endeavors will/can prosper… “regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14).

So in conclusion, I want to emphasize the fact that living out Righteousness, and also doing what's Right in a Relationship is not a walk in the park. WE WILL be called upon to make choices that don’t coincide with how we may have ‘felt’ about things our entire life. WE WILL be called upon to sacrifice our personal ‘desires’ in order to do what is fair, and WE WILL be called upon to do what’s right in the face of what we are ‘sentimental’ about and really don’t want to give up. As Righteous People, making the ‘Right’ choices in these situations is the greatest example of our allegiance to what we know to be ‘Just’ and ‘True’. This exemplifies the Integrity of a Person whom we can truly depend upon, respect, trust, and find security in because even in situations that appear to be the most “unexpected”, you can still “expect” them to do the ‘Right’ thing…

Egghead Jr.

Experts in the Field

We used to be with a woman whom I thought would make an excellent Earth, only to discover our persons to be totally wrong. She suffered from a high-function mental disorder which was not easy to detect at first, because she said a lot of the things we embrace. She spoke against the same things we had issues with. She belonged to a Black activist group that my person highly respected. She was well-versed on several topics. She seemed to be the perfect match for my travels. My persons was convinced that she was going in the same direction, but we were wrong.I will not disgrace her by mentioning her name. That would be inappropriate and besides, subconsciously she does not mean to be so counter productive to our cause. She is very ill and ultimately saw herself to be a failure. The things she mentioned seemed easy to repair at first, given the proper attitude, desire and skill. These things cannot come without want and you cannot give people your skills or your attributes. We learned this through experience. My only regret is that we hadn't found that out sooner.

Mental illness, of this caliber, is not that easy to detect. Most of the time, you hardly suspect it because these people are funny and talented people. My woman was very smart. Witty beyond reproach. She was informed in a lot of areas. Fun to talk to. It is easier to recognize a broken arm, than a broken soul or mind state. Highly-functional mental illness usually occurs amongst highly intellectual types. It wasn't until we lived together, did we began to see her mood swings, and her depressed moments. I began to see that she was a woman who was plagued by inner demons and that her outlook was not the same as mine. She felt trapped and we thought we could rescue her. Become the hero. We didn't do it out of ego, we did it out of love, but the non-acceptance that it was hopeless, was male ego related.We tried to work on that but we began to find out that she was just as witty at maintaining her own debilitating attitude. FOR EVERY REASON I GAVE ON HOW SHE COULD BE SUCCESSFUL, SHE GAVE ME SIX ON HOW SHE COULD FAIL. The more my persons fought to uplift her, the more she found fault with it. She fought to prove me wrong about her praise. If I did things for her, it would be the things which were lacking in the approach that she would focus on. Yet, I wouldn't quit on her. My persons fought hard to find ways to show her that what The Father (Allah) taught us was right and exact ,but she would focus on the odds of it happening or the numbers of people truly doing such things. After years of effort of trying to get her to see, we were thoroughly convinced that ONE ONLY LEARNS WHAT ONE TEACHES SELF: You have to be educatable to be educated. You have to be receptive in order to receive. You have to seek, in order to find. ULTIMATELY, SHE HAS TO LET THE TRUTH IN. ULTIMATELY, THE ONLY SELF IS SAVIOR. My person had to be made to believe that she had to save herself. She has a hole that only the almighty can fill, and she has to exalt that force from with inside her essence outward. Ironically, it was HER EGO THAT GOT IN THE WAY OF HER OWN SALVATION. I had not given up on her, she denied herself. Once I realized this, I recognized that her statements at the beginning were complaints that she was never going to do anything about. That is hard for a "do-something-about it-person" to accept. So I constantly tried to convince her that there are things that can be done, but she believed her ideas more. We strove to give her confidence, but she believed in drinking and wallowing in sorrow more. It is very hard to accept someone "fighting against your love" and blaming you for all their errors.

Looking back on it, we began to see that she spent a lot of time trying to "jump start her heart" a.k.a. pursuing happiness. Looking for things to bring her thrill and joy. Hunting for pleasure, excitement, drama, and surprise! My person only surmises that this was to counteract the misery she felt so often. She wanted prestige (recognition as important or famous) and since knowledge is power, being knowledgeable meant a lot to her. Not in the sense of having knowledge so you can live by what you learned, but in the sense of knowing something about it so you can impress your friends about the things that you know about, so you can seem aware concerning many topics. Notice we said SEEM AWARE. This is very important to note, because the excitement we saw was not because of revelation, but because her curiosity was being fed. Once she had this information, she could talk in various circles intelligently about various subjects and poise many questions. She could be in on several debates. She could get the attention she wants. She could be viewed as smart, intelligent and knowledgeable.The reason for bringing this up is not to throw a former love one under the bus, but to bring out characteristics of the type of person we will call EXPERTS IN THE FIELD {OF KNOWLEDGE OF SELF}. This knowledge was not the same as knowing. Their awareness is awareness of information available, not self realization that comes from applying it. The things one learns by applying the things that one knows is a wholly separate topic than the one discussed here. Her conversations were intellectual discourses. Witticisms. Points of interest. Not principles to fashion ones life by.There are a lot of people out there who can give you information and facts but their attachment to those facts is very superficial. It is not the points that one learns from awareness and experience. It is not felt and lived by. It is just a topic to throw out for debate and discussion. They find information fascinating! They get excited about discussions concerning information, but not how to curb their life to what they know. This requires discipline and they want to be a "free spirit." Negative thoughts oppress them so much of the time, they do not want to spend too much time disciplining themselves to principles; they want do what they feel. THEY GATHER INFORMATION TO BECOME "EXPERTS IN THE FIELD". They are "The Egyptologists who wear a cross around their neck and eat pork chop sandwiches."

Next thing we will hear is that "The reason I'm so Astro Boy-ish or B-ew-ITCH-ish is because my parents were homosexual and I had to overcompensate for it. First of all, nobody makes you do anything, you make your own decisions. Running from or going to extremes like, proving you are smarter than everyone else or more of a woman or man than anyone else because of how your parents are is not the answer and neither is “The Blame Someone Else” game. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE 46 CHROMOSOMES! YOU GET 23 FROM BOTH PARENTS AND IF YOU HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTACT WITH BOTH OF YOUR PARENTS-- REGARDLESS TO THE DYSFUNCTION-- YOU WILL NEVER SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE PROPER THING TO DO WITH YOUR INHERITED TRAITS. This is not to say that being gay, lesbian, or bisexual is an inherited trait. Quite the contrary, all my studies have led me to conclude that this is a decision based upon strong urges made by the individual. Psychologically, there is an identity crisis that accompanies these urges, and some series of events that polarizes them towards their decision. Anyone who has seen THE COLOR PURPLE or FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF can tell that within these dramatizations the authors are supplying you with the type and kind of events which helped to polarize them toward those feelings. Just remember, people like Jeffery Dahmer and Charles Manson also had such polarizing events upon their psyches to match their urges, yet it is an agreed conclusion to look at this as dysfunction and frown upon its adaptation as a way of life. I'm Sure Gregory Hines would rather have his brother Maurice not be gay-- or at least not so flamboyant with it. I'm sure Joan Crawford's daughter would have rather had a mother who knew how to be a better mother. IT IS NOBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY BUT YOUR OWN TO PLAY THE HAND YOU WERE DEALT. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSIDER ALL FACTORS AND COME UP WITH THE RIGHT DECISION, no matter how long it takes. You are the sole controller of what you do with the rest of your life, regardless of the circumstance. This view is supported by our lessons. We watch these homosexual parents today adopt children and raise them without a clue of how that will impact on the child's psyche to have gay parents. From where I sit, this practice is wrong. It was fought against for many years in this society, and now it is treated as though if it never happened. As this society and culture of the Devil's civilization "develops" further, it will have practices that do not coincide with our knowledge-- this is to be expected. Many things that will be accepted as "right" in this culture will be savage in ours. You have to decide which side you stand on. You have to decide which culture you embrace. It cannot be a "quasi" type of thing. It either has to be a "Divine culture" and those things of American culture which coincides, or a "Destroy culture" and those things which coincides with that. Yet, far too often we see people of our culture airing out their own personal opinions which are not "shown and proved" by their lessons. It is our scientific responsibility to back up all assertions with the degrees that they may fall under-- that is, unless you say you "Study 120 but are not a part of the Five Percent Nation/ NGE." But then again, why would anyone want to listen to a person who lets you know he/she doesn't subscribe to what you do, but brings up your culture for criticism. This "I'm Only Human" "Embrace your weakness Approach" is totally counter-productive to Self Development as far as our lessons teach.

What is meant by SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF THE 46 CHROMOSOMES AND YOU WILL NEVER SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE PROPER THING TO DO WITH YOUR INHERITED TRAITS, is that it is a family affair. God is a group reality seen through the eyes of an individual and your traits are made through both of your parents-- 23 from your dad and 23 from your mom. Those traits are displayed throughout both families. You got those traits in you. The best way to see what those traits are all about is to do the knowledge on your family lines: You will see both the proper and improper use of such qualities but it will give you some understanding as to why you feel like you do and where those feelings are coming from. It will place you at the pinnacle of what to do in regards to those said qualities and it will have you "better know thyself," because the family is you and you are the family! Just remember, they made their decisions about which direction they were going to take those INHERITED TRAITS and you have to make yours. 46 CHROMOSOMES IS EQUAL TO JUSTICE, MEANING THEY WILL GET A PENALTY OR REWARD FOR THEIR ACTIONS OR USE OF THOSE TRAITS AS YOU WILL GET A PENALTY OR REWARD FOR HOW YOU USE YOURS.To add to this, this woman got as far as the 40th degree in the One to forty. She had only her Actual Facts and Solar facts to complete, yet she did not use the jewels and tools. It was only an intellectual discourse. She went on to become a student of Yoruba (African Secret Society member) culture after that. We are certain that she did not stop there in her search. All of this is just oddities and curiosities to these types of people. They learn this stuff for dinner table discussions. THEY SEEK KNOWLEDGE TO DISPLAY THEMSELVES AS EXPERTS IN THE FIELD like as if they were anthropologist [characteristics and customs of humans] or pursuing anthropomorphic studies[study of the attributes of humans in things], NOT TO GROW OR CHANGE THEIR POINT OF VIEW. That's why, when you hear them build, THEY WILL OFTEN CONTRADICT THE WORDS IN WHICH THEY SPEAK OR THE TOPIC THEY ARE BUILDING ON BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THEY LIVE BY, THEY JUST KNOW OF IT. It's just a conversation to prove how smart they are; academics; an intellectual discourse-- they have no feelings concerning it. It's just a game, like cat and mouse. An experiment. It's questionable whether these kind can ever love anything because they haven't learned to love themselves. They are still struggling with that. But they can't take your advice because in their warped mind they think their smarter or more man or woman than you. It's a challenge to them and to them THEY ARE THE EXPERTS IN THE FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE OF SELF (without the Self Development or constraints or discipline there of), because they know better than anyone else. They're the smartest! They say IRRESPONSIBLE THINGS AND ADVOCATE WRECK LESS ABANDON IN THE GUISE OF FREEDOM. THEY ADVOCATE WILDNESS, WHILE SAYING THAT THEY ARE CIVILIZED because they study 120 but have a different understanding of God than is practiced by us. Nothing could be so ridiculous!

In the case of this woman, when she was under study, if something would go wrong we would say have you tried this or applied this degree and she would always come back with some "extenuating circumstance" [reason for why what we are saying doesn't apply to her situation]. After a while, we began to realize that KNOWLEDGE WAS SOMETHING THAT SHE WORE, NOT APPLIED. Student is not what they are because they never stick to the plan, they have a better idea; often doing what you advise them not to do. I bet she still goes by her own crooked philosophy to this day despite the advise of her therapists or any of the cultural systems she has available to her. That is because SHE IS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE OF SELF, EQUIPPED WITH THE BEST OF CONVERSATIONAL PIECES. That's why we say: "Forget the EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, PICK THE GENUINE ARTICLE. Don't be fooled by the razzle dazzle of cheap imitations...

Power, Politics, and Polar Opposites

“You can always outlive a lie, but you can never outlive the truth.” –Rev. Glen Raybond (79 years old) Trinity Baptist Church

It doesn’t matter what type of Religious, Spiritual, or Cultural System you embrace, the fundamental purpose of that System must be Personal, Collective, and Environmental responsibility, preservation, and perpetuation. If that System is not rooted in those purposes (Personal, Collective, and Environmental), and does not serve those needs (responsibility, preservation, and perpetuation), then it cannot and will not sustain itself. One of the main characteristics we’re taught about the Devil is that the Devil has an “expiration date” (35/1-40). It’s not ironic that we directly learn this in the Understanding (3) Power (5) Degree: “What is the expiration date of the Devils Civilization?” What this tells us is that in order to comprehend true power (authority/influence), we must recognize the limitations in what it is not.

God of course is called ‘omnipotent’, which simply means to be ‘all powerful’, and being all powerful has no limitations to it. In regards to ‘power’, the 32/1-40 states, in part, that, “The mental ‘power’ of a real Devil is nothing in comparison to that of the Original Man” and “his physical ‘power’ is less than 1/3 than that of the Original Man, therefore his mental and physical ‘power’ is much weaker than that of the Original Man.” The 38/1-40 further reinforces this point by stating that God made the Devil “to show forth his ‘power’ that he is allwise and righteous, and that he could make a Devil which is weak and wicked, give him the ‘power’ to rule the Earth for 6,000 years, then destroy the Devil in one day without falling victim to the Devils Civilization. Otherwise to show and prove that Allah is God, always has been and always will be.” The word Politics means “the science of ‘power’ (authority/influence)”. The role of a Politician is to use this science of power (Politics), to get Policies enacted as Laws, that will then be enforced by the Police. One thing you’ll notice in the words Politics, Politician, Policy, and Police is that they all share the same root word ‘pol’. ‘Pol’ is a Greek root word which means “pole” or “polar”, and pole/polar are dynamic opposites of a sphere as in the North and South poles of the Earth, or opposing extremes (polar opposites) as in God/Devil, Righteous/Wicked, Civilized/Savage. Anyone who has taken the time to recite and study 120 Lessons of The NGE or the Supreme Wisdom Book of The NOI realizes that within this literature, the concept of ‘power’ is a reoccurring theme. Not a reoccurring theme in the abstract, b.u.t. ‘power’ in the context of ‘Power Relations’ between two opposing forces and political ideologies: God/Devil, Righteous/Wicked, Civilized/Savage. So as Gods/Earths, our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum (Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabet, 120 Lessons, *12 Jewels) is in part, a Sociopolitical System, used to em‘power’ment us Personally, Collectively, and Environmentally. Building with one another and holding Parliaments is a process to work out these Politics socially: “Social means to advocate a Society of Men (and Women) or Group of Men (and Women) for one common cause. Equality means to be equal in everything” (8/1-40). We do this to ensure that our words and actions coincide with Godly/Righteous/Civilized Policies, because these Policies reinforce Laws that we Police. And we Police eachother by looking out for one another in order to protect and serve our Godly/Righteous/Civilized Standards. And as Gods/Earths, ALL OF US are Personally, Collectively, and Environmentally responsible for preserving and perpetuating this Cultural Worldview.

Before we give anyone credit, including myself, for being a true advocate of our Culture we must first ask ourselves these fundamental questions:

* What are their Politics?
* Does their Sociopolitical Agenda meet the fundamental criteria of Personal, Collective, and Environmental responsibility, preservation, and perpetuation of our Cultural Worldview?
* How are they using the science of ‘power’, and what kind of Policies are they enacting (endorsing) and policing (protecting): God/Devil, Righteous/Wicked, Civilized/Savage?

Sometimes I’ve come across People who have our 8-Point Curriculum but claim to not be in The NGE (The Nation of Gods and Earths). They claim to have this Knowledge for themselves and are simply God/Earth in their own Universe. Well ask yourself: Does this person’s Sociopolitical Agenda meet the fundamental criteria of Personal, Collective, and Environmental responsibility, preservation, and perpetuation of our Cultural Worldview? Your answer will be without question “Emphatically No!” They themselves didn’t get Knowledge out of thin air and are benefitting from the Personal, Collective, and Environmental contributions of other people, places, and things that came before them and are often still present today. If this perpetual process (reciprocity) didn’t happen, then this selfish person wouldn’t have anything to be selfish about in the first place. If left up to them, this Knowledge will die right along with them, and if it’s really of God, it should have no expiration date… There are also those who only select certain parts of our 8-Point Curriculum to identify with. Well ask yourself: What are their Politics? When you listen to them and cee their actions in terms of opposing extremes (polar opposites), what category do they fall in or have a leaning towards: Godly/Devilish, Righteous/Wicked, Civilized/Savage? Obviously, if there’s things they deal with and other things they don’t deal with, there will always be a huge variance that expose these diametrically opposed views. For example, they may not eat pork but cee nothing wrong with going around porking white girls or any girl for that matter. They may call themselves Raheem Allah, b.u.t. when you close your eyes and listen to their combative, jeering, immature conversation they sound no different than 85 T-Bone smoking an L on the block. Since they don’t fully embrace our Culture in it’s entirety, they’ll always come off ‘Bipolar’ and you’ll constantly hear/cee them ping-ponging between the diametrically opposed sides of God/Devil, Righteous/Wicked, Civilized/Savage. For example, one minute you’ll hear/cee them talking about lofty concepts of Civilization, and the next moment they’ll be talking about Savagely sh*tting in Niggas caskets. In one breath they’ll be celebrating how they’re the true & living God, and in the next breath they’ll be embracing how Humanly frail, imperfect, and ignorant they actually are. Then there are those who claim to be Gods/Earths yet they claim to be or operate like they’re “politically” neutral. These People are of course some of the most dangerous because they refuse to take responsible stances on Personal, Collective, and Environmental issues in regards to our Cultural Worldview. These are the People who cee the People they roll with, which may be so-called Gods/Earths, involved in activities that are clearly Devilish, Wicked, and Savage, yet will turn a blind eye, not build with them about correcting it, or won’t issue a public statement denouncing it. In their so-called neutrality, they’re actually the most political! Their suffering silence, lack of integrity, and amoral conscience reflects the same political stance of People who had/have an opportunity to fight against injustices being carried out against them, others, and the environment. These are the People who quietly support and continually promote the Devilishment, Wickedness, and Savagery that’s going on and they’re more difficult to address because you don’t cee them. For example, People get angry about many of the political positions the Right Wing Tea Baggers openly take, b.u.t fail to realize that the one’s who feel/believe the exact same way, who’re not saying anything publically, while claiming to not be into Politics, are the ones you really need to be looking at…

So in the final analysis, it comes down to ‘power’ and how we propose to use that ‘power’. Traditionally, we teach that “power is the truth”. So in this sense, if we’re Gods/Earths who supposedly have the truth, then what are we doing with it? Are we using this truth to em‘power’ the Righteous or the Wicked? Are we using this power truthfully, and in the interest of being Godly or Devilish? When we recite how we’re Civilized People throughout our Lessons, is that truly what we’re about or are we really just “Savages in the pursuit of Happiness”? (17/1-40) We must consider the ‘Power Relations’ we cee demonstrated throughout our Lessons between God and Devil, and properly align ourselves with what’s Righteous and Civilized. This template helps us identify the same ‘Power Relations’ throughout our Lessons we learn in everyday life! When I learn in the 1/1-14 that “the Devil isn’t settled on the Best Part” and that I must “preserve the best part for myself” because “there is no peace amongst him (Devil)”, I should know better not to try to resolve (settle) a situation with a person who always “starts causing trouble amongst Righteous People, making accusations, causing them to fight and kill one another” (4/1-14) around my children, at my home, or any place else I consider sacred. The Original Man who historically handled this situation has given me the proper insight, posture, and procedure to handle it for myself; the game doesn’t change, only the players. When I learn in the 10/1-14 that we historically served capital punishment on People who were found to be “100% weak & wicked” because “they would not keep and obey the laws” after being given a chance to “clean themselves up and come amongst us” (9/1-14), then I need to dissolve the business relationship with someone if I clearly cee that their heart, time, and finances aren’t 100% into what we’re supposed to be “advocating for one common cause” (8/1-14), and they consistently disobey the rules of our partnership. Especially after giving them chances to correct it. Not only are these ‘Power Relations’ demonstrated throughout our Lessons, b.u.t. we clearly cee these stances within our Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet as well. When we look at the #‘2’ or Wisdom within the Supreme Mathematics, we are called upon to assess our degree of ‘right discernment/judgment’. There is no “that’s your right and this is my right” where Wisdom is concerned. Right is right and wrong is wrong! Some People may say, “There’s more than one way to skin a cat”, and a Wise Man/Woman will say, “It’s not right to skin a cat.” Although Wisdom is a form of being clever, along with sophistication, cunning , and guile, ONLY Wisdom has a sense of right and justness to it. So in saying this, sounding good, coming off intellectual, or trying to razzle dazzle People with Supreme Mathematics still only falls into one of two political categories: God/Devil, Righteous/Wicked, Civilized/Savage. When looking at the letter ‘K’ (11), King or Kingdom within our Supreme Alphabet, the Sociopolitical stance of a King and a Kingdom is called into question. We must ask ourselves: What defines a King, how does a King operate, and what are the rules and regulations upon which is Kingdom in governed by? What is the proper attitude and posture of a King? How does a King relate to and what is his responsibility to others and the environment? All of these and many other questions gives us a greater sense and perspective of the Attribute of a King and as Gods: we (Gods) are considered King of Kings. Therefore, holding and exemplify this Title demands of us a level of Godliness, Righteousness, and Civilization unparalleled. If not, then we must also ask ourselves: What kind of King (God) are we?

In closing, ‘power’ is more than just the truth. It’s about what you do with the truth. Whether we know the truth or not doesn’t change the fact that we’re still making political statements and taking stances by what we verbally/nonverbally say and do. These statements/stances, whether knowingly or unknowingly, define our ‘Power Relations’ and whether we’re about God/Devil, Righteousness/Wickedness, Civilization/Savagery. While the power of the former (God) “has no said birth record”, the later (Devil) does have a limitation to his power. It is up to us to decide what side we’re on because we can’t have it both ways! And if we want to continue believing we can have it both ways then we’ll eventually find out that it won’t last forever…

Peace!

Stranded on an island, a group of schoolboys degenerate into savagery.

Culture Bandits

In light of all of the Natural/Sociopolitical Disasters happening here in America and throughout the World, NOW IS DEFINATLY NOT THE TIME to be losing our time “searching for that-that does not exist” (10/1-40). Now is also not the time to be “doing ‘your own’ thang”, chasing paper that carries no real value, or not being committed to a common Companionship, Family, Community cause to assess/address these Natural/Sociopolitical Disasters. If our perspective is Individualistic, things will continue to get worst for us… I say ‘continue’ because there is no doubt within my Mind that things are already going bad for Individuals like this. Ultimately, we need eachother, and Natural/Sociopolitical Disasters have a way of reminding “some” of us about that undeniable actual fact. If you disagree, then put your own Theories to the test -and you can start by not sharing that oxygen you’re holding in your lungs right now.

One of the simplest definitions Gods/Earths use to define ‘Culture’ is “one’s way of life”. What may not be as simple is defining those elements which make up not only “one’s way of life”, in respect to us, a God/Earth’s way of life. In our way of life, there are some things that are clearly native to our Culture, and some things that are clearly not native to our Culture. In order for us to make an accurate assessment of these native/non-native things, we must have a basic standard to measure these differences; an impartial standard that all Gods/Earths acknowledge and support. This basic standard represents the “one common cause” advocated by our “Society of Men (and Women) or Group of Men (and Women)”. The purpose of advocating this standard is to ensure that we maintain a level of “Equality (balance/fairness) in everything” (8/1-14) between us. In addition to fairness and impartiality, having this level of Cultural Consensus and Congruence helps us build/reinforce trust, familiarity, and expectations when dealing with one another. How? Because “we have agreed” (10/1-40). Our agreement is not based upon how an individual cee’s it or how we personally feel, it’s based upon a basic standard that serves the best interest of all of us (the collective). If there are no basic standards that we can all agree upon, it’s impossible to trust or have any degree of expectancy of what we or others may/may not do. Under these circumstances, it’s also impossible to have a Family, Community, or Society “founded in Peace” (5/1-14) because there’s no basic standards [fundamental law(s)] to govern these Units by. If everybody is doing their own thing, doing what they feel, doing them, have “their own” understandings, and etc.., there will be no consistency, and lack of order only breeds chaos (Anarchy).

Civilization and Righteousness
In the 17/1-40, Civilization is defined as “one having Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Culture, Refinement, and is not a savage in the pursuit of Happiness.” Therefore, a person who claims to be Civilized should be clearly demonstrating these Attributes in their everyday Life. If you Know better than you’re Wise enough to do better! Why? Because we Understand our Culture or ‘way of life’ hinges upon the idea of doing our best in all of our endeavors or as we say “Striving for Perfection!” This implies Refinement which is improvement, growth & development, and purification. If we’re not dedicated to these virtues and instead place more value of pleasure seeking and self aggrandizement, we become savages pursuing Happiness. We pursue it because we haven’t learned that we are it! Therefore this malcontent attitude towards ourselves and life as a whole makes us uncivil…

Righteousness consists of two words: Right & Just which means ‘True’. Righteousness is our ability to identify the truth of a situation, make a just decision in regards to the truth, and then do the right thing. It’s as simple as identifying what a person, place, or thing is, making a judgment about that person, place, or thing, and doing what’s right in relationship to that person, place or thing. For example, some time ago I learned the truth about a person who was “shielding me from his dirty religion” (5/1-14). In all fairness (just/justice), the right thing for me to do in this situation was to cut them off because they meant no good to me, our Family, our Community, or our Nation. Yes I felt bad about this because I thought we were Brothers, b.u.t. I didn’t allow these feelings to cloud the truth, my judgment, and doing the right thing. As Civilized People who advocate Righteousness, this isn’t always easy, b.u.t. it is always necessary! Now some People like to say that there is ultimately no Right vs Wrong, Morality is subject to personal opinion, Righteousness is doing what works for you, and Ethics don’t exist. If you hear a person, especially a grown adult speaking in these terms, I suggest you deal with them with a long handled spoon or not at all. What you may interpret as “Free Thinking” is nothing more than them putting you on notice about the dangers you’re taking while dealing with them, and the lack of responsibility they’ll assume when something does happen to you (and your child(ren if you have any) in the process. Some time ago I met a Woman who was very adamant about sharing “her favorite” Song with me as we got to know eachother; it was Beyonce’s Song “Flaws and All”:

"Flaws And All"

I'm a train wreck in the morning
I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you
I'm a puzzle yes in deed
Ever complex in every way
And all the pieces aren't even in the box
And yet, you see the picture clear as day.

[Chorus]
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you [3x]

I neglect you when I'm working
When I need attention I tend to nag
I'm a host of imperfection
And you see past all that
I'm a peasant by some standards
But in your eyes I'm a queen
You see potential in all my flaws
and that's exactly what I mean.

[Chorus]
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
and that's why I love you [3x]

[Repeat Chorus]

After listening to this Song, following it up by reading the above Lyrics, and cross referencing it with what I’ve learned about her thus far via her and her children, I decided that it wasn’t in my best interest to take it any further. Some events that happened after the fact gave me further confirmation that I undoubtedly made the right decision. Cee, everybody wants to be accepted, but everybody doesn’t want to be acceptable. I mention this experience to emphasize the importance to not mistake People’s acknowledgement of their flaws, hugged insecurities, short comings, imperfections (humanity) as a Declaration of Change. Sometimes People tell us these things to simply say “Enter At Your Own Risk”! As Gods/Earths, this of course is not the perspective of a Civilized Person, or the posture/attitude of someone who’s advocating Righteousness. If we’re building about anything that’s “other than ourselves” (12/1-36), it’s strictly for the purpose of addressing how we can elevate beyond these conditionings.., not to promote, advocate, or wallow in them.

Now, just because I’m building about the importance of us having a Cultural Consensus and being Congruent doesn’t mean that I’m saying we need to compromise our ‘Originality’. What I am advocating is that we embrace/express our ‘Originality’ doing the right things for ourselves, eachother and the Planet! The problem that arises when People advocate doing their own thing, doing what they feel, doing them, having “their own” understandings, and etc… is that they usually don’t mean good. They’re not saying, “I’m going to do my own thing volunteering my time with the Youth” or “That’s my own understanding how we’ll be successful reaching out to the sick & shut in.” These People are Hedonists; talking selfish and individualistic about saying/doing whatever they feel -up to and including destroying themselves, our Family Units, our Communities, and our Nation. If we’re discussing ‘Original’ approaches to solving problems and making this World a better place that’s Peace! B.u.t. if People want to debate over one’s ability to say/do whatever they want even though it clearly causes health problems (chain smoking/alcoholism), Family dysfunction (child neglect/absentee parenting), and/or Public Safety issues (selling drugs/promiscuity), I’m not with that at all. I have more positive and productive things to do and anyone who has an allegiance to Civilization and Righteousness should to. The irony in this is the fact that these People only advocate “Your Cee, My Cee” when they feel like they’re getting their own way. As soon as some other “Free Thinker” says/does whatever they want to do, and it doesn’t coincide with them getting their own way, they have a serious problem with them. Upon greater analysis of such a selfish, inconsiderate, immature Philosophy, you’ll notice that Kindergarten children often function in the same way, and need to learn the importance of responsibility, respect, consideration, and sharing. Unfortunately, this elementary mentality just happens to still be operating in grown males/females who have yet to grow up…

In closing, I want to encourage us to stay diligent in our contributions to Civilization and upholding of Righteousness “regards to whom or what” (11/1-14). As Gods/Earths, we are the standard bearers of these virtues, and must demands nothing less of ourselves and those who claim partnership with our Culture. Our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum is much more than just a tool for objective Intellectual Discourse. It’s a Worldview that consists of Principles and Core Values we use for practical and ethical applications in Life. Therefore we learn to think a certain way in order to do things a certain way. Not any ole way, b.u.t. the right and most beneficial way for ourselves, our Family, our Community, and our Nation. Either we are truly Gods/Earths who’re committed to these collective standards of Civilization and Righteousness, or we are not, flaws and all…

Peace,
Saladin

Nationalism 101

(The Soul of Nationalism) Part 2

Persons who talk about hugging their imperfections, are also being eaten up by those same toxic impurities. They are being engulfed in anathema. This is the type of person who does not believe in refinement and refuses to clean themselves up. BEAR IN MIND, A CHANGE OF DIET DOES NOT HELP A MAN WHO DOES NOT RID HIMSELF OF IMPURE THOUGHTS IN HIS HEART. If a person says, "I study this but I'm not a part of that," what exactly are they? Sun of Man? Made son? Freelancer? Separatist? What type of community and fellowship is this person building? Why should we believe in them? Do they advocate Love, Peace and Happiness? Jealousy? Thug-gi-ness? Gang warfare? Criminology? Drug-selling or drug addiction? Lawlessness? It's not that we are saying that if you come from these various backgrounds, that we don't have a place for you in our Nation, it's just that WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE TYPE WHO MAY HAVE DONE THESE THINGS, BUT IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR LIVES. we advocate elevation from your level on upwards and not decadents for your soul. "EVERYTHING GOES FROM KNOWLEDGE TO BORN, THEN ADDS ON..." I guess we do have a different "Understanding." Life has taught me that you have to be universal. Life is one and love keeps it together. Each thing contributes to the whole and in order to view the whole you must see universally to understand how things are similar and how things are vary. Being versatile is a key attribute in making this happen. Not everybody works with the same qualities, "therefore you cannot say what makes another person do what they do," by looking at it through your perspective. This only tells you that "given the same circumstance, this would be your outcome-- based upon your resources and subsequently your motivations." But as expressed earlier, EVERYONE DOES NOT HAVE YOUR RESOURCES, QUALITIES, OR MOTIVATIONS. THEREFORE YOU "CANNOT ASSIGN YOUR QUALITIES TO ANOTHER PERSON" IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. NOR CAN YOU SAY YOUR WAY IS PERFECT FOR EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. You have to judge things based upon what they set out to do, their aptitude, resources and level of understanding, etc., not your qualities...

People that talk and teach contrary to this, are not SELF but they are BORN to RULE OTHERS (brothers). What they say and do does not speak of love of our people, our nation, or themselves and therefore I have no partnership with these ungodly people. My lessons teaches that the devil studies from 35 to 50 years to try to learn and do like the original man (9/1-14) and yet we DO NOT LOVE THE DEVIL REGARDLESS TO HOW LONG HE STUDIES. THE DEVIL WAS TAUGHT SO THAT HE COULD CLEAN HIMSELF UP and MANY OF THEIR HEADS WERE TAKEN BY THE SWORD BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT KEEP AND OBEY THE LAWS OF ISLAM (10/1-14)... What did Yacob promise his Nation he would do (23/1-40)? The more we think about it, THE STATEMENT OF DIFFERENCE IN UNDERSTANDING IS NOT JUST MINOR DISAGREEMENTS here and there (which we all can live with) BUT A DECLARATION OF DISASSOCIATION-- Is it not? Judging from the way this so-called student is thinking this must be the feeling: "I can't see your face any more, I can't even touch the books you read... Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishing I was somebody else instead." -Bob Dylan

Enlighteners are responsible for teaching you the customs, criteria and/or basic concepts concerning NGE, so you can gain "the understanding" and formulate your style and ideas within the confines of our teachings (Culture is represented by the square/ as with the Truth)... Others groups may have different ways, but those ways are outside of the way that we advocate. We may have our own "flavor," but that way should be recognized as similar to the customs, standards and traditions within lessons, mathematics and such. We taught Knowledge of Self similar to how it was introduced to us. Now either I and my Enlighteners (I Freedom Born/ Ahad Knowledge Born/ "Old Man" Prince from the Dessert in Now Why) taught outside of the context of 120 lessons or this "so-called student" a "maverick." That is, his thinking is outside the confines to the wisdom and culture of the five percent; which would make the right and exactness suspect, but you could say it would definitely be considered other. You be the judge. What family do they stake claim to?

Excerpt from Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode 180 (entitiled ‘Legacy’)

Commander Riker: "Data, what's on your Mind?"

Lieutenant Commander Data: "Recent events have left me puzzled, sir. "It has been day since Ishara left and yet, my thoughts seem to dwell on her, almost as if I were experiencing a feedback loop in my mnemonic network."

Riker: "I know what you mean."

Data: "It is curious that I was so easily misled."

Riker: "Make that ‘we’."

Data: "Yes sir."

Riker: "Data, sit down."

Data: "Thank you sir."

Riker: "In all trust, there is the possibility of betrayal. I'm not sure you were prepared for that."

Data: "Were you prepared, sir?"

Riker: "I don't think anybody ever is."

Data: "Hmm. Then it is better not to trust..."

Riker: "Without trust, there's no friendship, no closeness. None of the emotional bonds that make us who we are."

Data: "And yet you put yourself at risk?"

Riker: "Every single time."

Data: "Perhaps I am fortunate, sir [by being an android] to be spared the emotional consequences."

Riker: "Perhaps..."

Excerpt from Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode 185 (entitiled ‘Data’s Day’)

Data: "If being human is not simply a matter of being born flesh and blood, if it is instead a way of thinking, acting and feeling then I am hopeful that one day I will discover my own humanity [like the tin man in the "Wizard Of Oz"]. Until then, Commander Maddox, I will continue learning, changing, growing and trying to become more than what I am."

I say that to say this: There is a need to make sure that you are on the same page with your comrades. You have to be advocated for the same common cause in order to form a cohesive society. Unless you want to be superficial, the thinking has to be similar. This goes for whether you are building a relationship between man and woman, your family, your universal family, business partnerships, society or Nation. We must be advocated according to the similarities between our philosophies and perspectives, in order to build lasting bonds and acquire trust. This is a road less traveled. Many good people, as well as people with good intentions get lost along the way. Jesus students were called DISCIPLES because of the amount of DISCIPLINE it takes to stay on the right course. Then there are those who feel that if they learn the words and quote degrees that this will make them "magical." I say here, "WHAT YOU PUT INTO THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET OUT OF IT. Like Love, this is all about sincerity, devotion, loyalty, honor, respect, responsibility, but most of all you have to CARE. Those who CARE about our future as a people and devote their energy to this cause are called activists and nationalists. We nationalists are building towards a future for black people. Those who get involved and do this for personal gain are called opportunists and "selfish" people and hell should be their home, or at least it shall be in the NEAR FUTURE (39/1-40).

The majority of Black People in America (the 85%), are like KIDS looking in a candy shop window with little money in their pockets. They look and see all that is available, they wish could have it all, but when they see what their money can purchase, they are discontented. They do not think of saving up, they go beg the pale Jew or the colored man to show mercy or give them credit, but the colored man knows that he got what he's got because he stole it from those who shown him that type of charity. Nations cannot be built that way. The so-called Jews did not get that powerful by begging America. The dealt with collective economics and at first it costs more for them to support a fellow Jew, BUT IN DOING SO, THEY WERE CIRCULATING THEIR OWN RESOURCES TO ONE DAY OWN THE MEANS: Institutions need cash.

Said persons of this ability have to be righteous, just and true to the cause of Nationhood, by starting schools and institutions for our cause, if they INTEND TO SEE THE DAY FOR WHICH THEY'VE WAITED (40/1-40). But first, our person demons and interfering imps must be taken off our planet [out of our lives] (10/1-14). A lot of us cannot see these interrelationships because they are seeking for personal gain and therefore possess more cunning than true wisdom. God is a group reality seen through the eyes of each person and it is a group effort that makes it happen. The body wards off parasites everyday. In the summer, we swat mosquitos. They hide in the dark and attack when we slumber. Blood suckers come in many forms, as there will always be "Sham artists" taking on disguises. Julius Caesar had his Brutus, as did Jesus his Judas. This too shall pass as we grow wiser. As it was said earlier, as men and women who are "growing accustomed to how righteous people are supposed to behave," WE SPEND TOO MUCH TIME LOOKING AT OUTER APPEARANCES, BUT NOT ENOUGH TIME ON THE QUALITIES THAT THE GOD OR EARTH HAS, THAT MAKES THEM COMPATIBLE FOR THE TYPES OF THINGS YOU ARE STRIVING TO ACCOMPLISH IN YOUR ENDEAVORS. A SAID PERSON OF THAT ABILITY! You may like the way THEY LOOK; you may think they are "good people," or "sexy," but THEY MIGHT BE TOTALLY LACKING IN THE ABILITY TO GIVE THEMSELVES TOTALLY TO A CAUSE WHICH DEMANDS PERSONAL SACRIFICES FOR THE SAKE OF A HIGHER GOAL; THAT IS, THE BENEFIT OF THE RELATIONSHIP, FAMILY, GROUP, OR UNIT. My person used to be in a hip-hop group looking for a record deal (contract), and before we even got signed, members were talking about other "stars" they wanted to work with and letting the others know that they were only joining the group as an affiliate to increase the chance of getting signed," but they wanted to do stuff on their own. How could we put our "all" into something that we know is doomed from the start not to endure? Since this member didn't show enough allegiance, eventually other members began to fall off... That was no surprise... why should it be? Their heart wasn't in it. They were just using the group as a possible opportunity. They weren't ready to do any real investing or show any real loyalty. Only Justice Understanding Allah and my persons remained and we made money doing it because we worked hard at it. SO HOW CAN WE BUILD A NATION OF SOLO ARTISTS? Speaking about loyalty and dedication, MEN AND WOMAN OFTEN ENTER INTO RELATIONSHIPS, NOT FEELING AS THOUGH THEY CAN TRUST THE OTHER IN THE RELATIONSHIP, YET EXPECT THE OTHER TO DEVOTE THEMSELVES TO THE RELATIONSHIP, SO THAT HE OR SHE MAY BENEFIT FROM THIS DEVOTION. It comes as no surprise that they fail because there is no reliance and without trust these things won't go very far. A lot of men get into relationships for years and never know who they are truly with because they only concern themselves with how to get service out of their women; they never take time to know her. They really have no idea about what really makes these women up. And women like this, since they usually do not trust men, they make it a point to 'ask trillion of questions' but immediately show signs of resistance when they are asked the first intimate or penetrating question. So who in the hell are you living with? A servant? I've even was some guys come home to a fully cleared out house and never had a clue, because they never had a clue to "how the world turns..." Some women will use one guy for finance and another guy for emotional and intimate needs but live separate from both. Some will get you all involved with them, faking sincerity and loyalty to you, while they remain free to search for other components (like parts to a car), at least until they find a "lucrative opportunity." As Fleetwood Max said in the song DREAMS: "Players only love you when they're playing." Let's surmise this in a John Lennon quote, "And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make."

Don't get it twisted... these are dysfunctional relationships, possibly spurred on by family issues such as molestation, rape or even sex-orientation issues concerning child to parent. As a result, these are people who do not know equality. They are lacking in social skills and it is doubtful that they ever have any, until they learn to let go, forgive and love themselves... That is, the True Self. Recognize that all relationships require the same ingredients to make them work (just different degrees of the same quality) and if you are not suitable for one, you will be lacking in the other relationships. The knowledgeable one has to make sure that the significant other has the social skills, qualities and emotional capabilities to properly invest into the said situation. Relationships are like corporations. When you incorporate, the corporation becomes its' own entity supported by its' members. The corporation protects its' own from individual lost and takes on a life of its own. It has to be "fed," which means it has to be invested in. You got to be serious about your business if you want it to grow and become profitable. Allah is a singularity-- and like a corporation-- Allah is its own entity, incorporating all consciousness (like the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation) evolving all. But for those who are aware of this phenomena, Allah is evolving higher states of consciousness for those who can grasp the underlining significance of the experiences the creator takes each being through! Allah is life itself. God is Allah living in the creation as a group reality seen through these different faces. Allah is much larger than your personal body, Allah is a totality of all that is best felt and understood when you invest in groups; like all Black people, or the human family of the planet earth, or like "Civilization." As you take care of group concerns, concepts, virtues, principles, principalities, those qualities, you expand and become more powerful--dig it... I Self Lord and Master; I Self Law and Master; I Sincerely Love Allah's Mathematics is how you plug into the Complete Entity... being this involves complete investment: Love, Devotion and Surrender. These other types would never think to sacrifice their egos in this way, so they do not see the light of the True Self. Like Sly Stone said: "Thank you for letting me be My Self Again..." get it?

Bonds are very important in all relationships. Bonds means you can rely on each other and this cannot happen properly, without a commitment to do the things in that relationship to develop trust: Which means both of you (or all that's involved) will have to provide the services and manifest qualities that would benefit the relationship or the group. When you become an officer in a corporation, you have legal responsibilities to that group and you own a portion of the entity! IN THIS SOCIETY, AS WELL AS IN GANGS AND STREET LIFE, WE'VE SEEN MEN FIGHTING OVER WOMEN AND 'CLOWNING' OTHER MEN, TO IMPRESS WOMEN. Women have and will come and go in this, but it is the True Earth that remains consistently orbiting around the sun. My relationship with my Enlightener is as old as most of you out there who are reading this! Loyalty, trust and bonds like this should not be frivolously forsaken! The statement concerning the earth's orbit does not mean the Earth does not come without changes: The moon (her mentality), she has four phases towards light and four towards darkness, but she always comes back to the light (life depends on it)... IT IS UP TO YOU, GOD, TO REMAIN STEADFAST TO THE TRUTH REFLECTED IN OUR CUSTOMARY WAYS.

Allah is a collective reality. God is a living manifestation of Allah on earth and acting as Allah in Allah's creation, his knowledge is best realized by maintaining his own personal family and the Universal Family. We, as the Gods must watch over every part of "Our Family" "intimately." God is a true family man. You can't really do our job without being responsible for said persons of that ability and those who come under the banner of our common cause. YOU CAN'T JUST BE A token or SYMBOL OF GODLINESS. Relationships form families. Families form communities. Communities form states and states form the Nation. To be God or Earth you must have civic concern to call yourself civil or civilized. You have to be JUST AND TRUE NOT JUST PAY LIP-SERVICE TO JUSTICE. My being should know, our attribute is Allah Universal Lord Life JUSTICE Shabazz, I represent the real thing! Nobody has to teach us division and subtraction: we already know how to think separate and think we are different... (7/1-14) And the devil has taught us that very well. Our discussion narrows SOCIAL down to: "THOSE QUALITIES PROVEN TO BE RIGHTEOUS ENOUGH TO ADVOCATE A SOCIETY FOR THE PARTICULAR CAUSE THAT IS COMMON BETWEEN (8/1-14). To mention "equality means to be equal in everything," is just another way of saying this is how you maintain integrity within your social structure. IF YOU'RE NOT DOWN WITH OUR CAUSE, THEN GET THE HELL OUT! NONE OF US WHO ARE SERIOUS WANTS TO HERE WHAT THE MALCONTENTS HAVE TO SAY: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR OUR PEOPLE? Without integrity, you have chaos. The culture degree speaks of the devil who started making trouble amongst the righteous people, accusing them of telling lies, causing them to fight and kill one another. This means that truth is valued amongst the righteous. Peddle your sour grapes elsewhere. Tricknowledge is defined as telling lies, stealing and how to master the original man (4/1-14). This is very important to understand, because this is always the way that the unrighteous comes after the righteous! Their Integrity gets questioned by those who really can't stand in judgment of the righteous, usually because their feelings are spinning off of jealousy, or one of the other four inner-devils that should have been mastered by those who claim this, but we know that is lacking in the slackers and the unrighteous. King David built about this in Psalms 1. For those that don't know, King David is the author of Psalms, the father of Solomon-the wise, and member of the tribe of Israel, descendant of the house of Shem, one of Noah's sons. The others were Shem, (K)Ham, and Ja'pheth. Kham is said to be the father of the Khamau (Genesis 10), whom the Greeks renamed Egyptians. Shem descendants are the Hebrew and Arab. David is the sole reason Hiram Abiff was assigned to Solomon. Hiram Abiff is the Master Architect from Tyre who taught Masonry at the construction site of Solomon's Temple. Khamau had their mystery school and it is through the mystery School that a branch taught Masonry to the Caucasian people. So here is two of Nwah's descendants trying to civilize the Caucasian man by having him study masonry, but they would not keep and obey the laws.

What are those laws? They are principles like Temperance, Wisdom, JUSTICE, fraternity, Circumspection, etc., concepts that reflect personal discipline and how one's actions effect others (humanity). This reference to "Justice" is thoroughly elaborated on within the Tenth Degree within the One to Fourteen... Civilize means to teach knowledge and wisdom of the human family of the planet earth (2/1-14). Musa had a hard time teaching the colored man. Why? When they study from thirty-five to fifty years to try to learn and do like the original man, the Muslim is instructed not to love the devil no matter how long he studies. Why? That is their nature, but what about the black men who undergo this study after the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told you that these teachings was nothing in comparison to that of the Original Man?

Philosophy is a term, created by the Greeks, signifying a "Love of Wisdom" but in their language it literally means "a Like of Wisdom." Why? The Classical Greek Culture are accredited to be the foundation of all European wisdom, and yet they did not have a word for "Love" in their vocabulary. That should tell you a lot about their ability to internalize the concepts of a word that they didn't know or use in their vocabulary... In those conversations, we spoke on general civilization (14/1-14) the meaning of civilization (17/1-40), the duty of a civilized person (18/1-40) [but not what happens if a civilized person does not perform this duty (19/1-40)].

Bottom Line: YOU HAVE TO CARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU TEACH AND THE PEOPLE YOU REACH OUT FOR. This is the basis of your HUMANITY and THE MEANING OF CIVILIZATION (2/1-14; 17/1-40). You have to consider our future of us as a people: Our destiny; our autonomy; our families; OUR DIGNITY! Anybody who can have a child by a woman who is no longer in this and not at least make attempts to SAVE HIS BABIES mentally as well as financial, is a sorry soul! That's self hatred! You cannot tell me that this person has a high opinion of Black people or of himself. You can't tell me that this person is living to see the day for which we wait for (39/1-40). Malcolm once said of this, "You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree itself. You give me a black person who has a low opinion of black people and I will show you a person that don't love themselves."

My persons has read several books on the History of America. We have viewed the documentary of the "History of Britain" by Simon Schama. We have watched docu-dramas of Rome, the Tudors, etc., History of the Prophet Muhammad, The Religion of Islam, Histories of the Jews and the similar documentaries concerning other people in relationship to us. In these treatises and documentation we have witness people being taken under captivity and servitude many times throughout the chronological events which pass throughout time. But one things we noticed is, even though some of the greatest nations were at one point under the dominion or captivity (and that captivity may have been for more than a hundred years), these people still had the resiliency (bounce back ability) to take their independence and start anew. America's working class masons stole America, the land claimed by England's noble masons, to start their own country independent of the same land they came from! Check that out. So who says we cannot realize our cause in time? When Chuck D was asked the question about who was the nation of millions were (concerning Public Enemy's Album "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back"), Chuck said, "In these days, that nation is ourselves!" I find that this is true because we do not have enough love and concern for ourselves as a people, but we must find it, if we are ever going to have any peace of mind.

As a Nation of Gods and Earths, we must do things in order to maintain social harmony because as a collective, as a nation, we rely on each other's presence and input; especially when possibly entering into a path of destruction [Ezekiel 3:18 (20/1-40)]. But "Back-bitting" for the sake of entertainment is not one of those things; particularly when others do nothing to keep it going. We cannot let "Selfish," petty ways interfere with our sense of Nationhood. These differences have to be resolved through the means of constructive criticisms between respective parties: That is, those things presented that will help the person gain insight into their actions and assist them in becoming better at what they do and better human beings (that is, if they really want that). CIVILIZATION INVOLVES EVOLUTION. Unless of course, you are not the FATHER OF CIVILIZATION... We know and understand that father means one that furthers another's education and that Positive Education Always Corrects Errors amongst said persons of that ability or the righteous. No relationship, partnership, business, nation, etc., can function successfully without trust. In trust comes security, as with knowledge comes confidence. If we are wise, we build with those we can rely on. In the Understanding degree in the Knowledge to know your culture it states: "We didn't care about the poor part." My understanding is that we wouldn't be wise if we didn't at least keep it under surveillance. We see the DIDN'T CARE the same as LOVE and we will not "love the devil regardless to how long he studies," nor will we take on the ways of the POOR PART; we kept the best part preserved for ourselves (1/1-14): meaning you can't let the poor behavior of others become part of the way you do things. YOU CAN HAVE NO LOVE FOR THOSE KIND OF ETHICS OR POLITICS. We need all the things that a NATION needs. Schools and Education, Technological Advancements, Arts and Scholarships, Enterprise and business relationships, Agriculture, Morals, Ethics, communities and laws which govern them, civic codes of conduct, parliamentary procedures and enactments, customs, law enforcement, standing armies, etc. Things to supply the needs of an independent Nation because we cannot rely on the politics of those who don't belong, so we must do for Self and not depend on others. Those who stand behind our NATIONAL CAUSE should be working each and every day to achieve such goals.

(I Born Understanding, Life Justice, Self {Saladin}, Unikue Thorough Allah)

Nationalism 101

(The Heart of Nationalism) Part 1

We have built on righteous people (4-5/1-14) and said people of that ability (20/1-40). We spoke on social equality and how social means to advocate a society for one common cause. In the build, "Is There Such A Thing As Disposable People" we have spoke about THE CHRONIC EFFECTS THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY STILL HAS ON PRESENT DAY BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICA. Though not stated directly, this build shows that America was constructed without the Black or Brown man's interest ever being at heart; giving great relevance to the one to thirty six.

In these builds we have emphasized the need to be on the same page with how life is perceived, how life is to be, ethics, morals, and the qualities that the other persons has to have to make that happen. These things need to be DISCUSSED ISSUE BY ISSUE to make sure that the types of moral and ethical values are common or compatible between members. We also need to examine whether the person under consideration possesses the type of ethics or moral fiber necessary to make them reliable and trustworthy, otherwise, it is an assumption. We also spoke on embracing the factors which bond us together as a unit. WE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT GETTING AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHOSE THINKING IS CONTRADICTORY OR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART. In issues where two or more people interdependent on each other, THESE THINGS CANNOT AFFORD TO BE TAKEN ON FACE VALUE. WE HAVE TO KNOW BECAUSE OUR FUTURE DEPENDS UPON THESE THINGS AND WE KNOW, HE OR HER WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF SELF (and Love of Self) CANNOT BUILD ONLY DESTROY AND TAKE MANY OTHER LIVES. This means it must be commonly understood between persons. This is the true meaning behind social equality (8/1-14)!

We went to the Show and Prove in Wisdom Cipher Knowledge Cipher with Unikue Thorough, Saladin, and I B U (I Born Understanding) with the goal of sojourning with my Enlightener; I Freedom Born. It was so "Good and Pleasant to see our Brethren [and sisters] gathered together" for one common cause! I had the extra added bonus of seeing Shabar, Shadiem and Shaleek, which brought on memories of Lockey, as well as others who were my contemporaries when Allah first came and blessed me with the understanding. We, as a group, all have many attributes and directions we are headed in, but we come together at the root and this common ground allows us to add on to our foundation because of the mutual love we have for one another! This is truly glorious because, while we reside in the Power Hill and Now Why, the God I B U [a new born] is from Love Allah and was seeing these Gods in the flesh for the first time and sharing in fellowship! My persons felt this because I B U was able to see we are family-- we felt this because he was able to see we are a Collective, our Social Equality was so magnificently peace!

Not enough can be said about comradery. You may be in an organization or community and mutually depend upon each other, but nothing beats feeling good about the person you are standing next to. Some series of events, some circumstance may have happened to demonstrate the quality of the person or to forge an alliance between you. Whatever the case may be, you see you can rely on them. Nothing feels better than to feel good about the person next you and nothing is worst than not having trust. A lot of relationships are built on need. Armies stay together based upon need, but the regiments where comradery is present is the most decorated. I've seen people stay together solely because they did not have the resources necessary to go their own way, but they were miserable. They didn't do enough to make the person next to them feel good about them and they did not treat each other how they wanted to be treated. The result was "One-up-man-ship." That is, learning each other, not for the sake of the bond, but to "beat each other to the punch." It's sad when relationships between men and women end up this way.

We mentioned the word social equality quite a few times in this writing. Some of you might know of this "term" through the build degree, within the knowledge to know your culture. The full understanding of this "term" has to do with THE REASON WHY THE COLORED MAN KEEPS OUR PEOPLE APART FROM THEIR SOCIAL EQUALITY. The answer is simply BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW HOW FILTHY HE IS IN ALL HIS AFFAIRS. HE IS AFRAID BECAUSE WHEN WE LEARN ABOUT HIM, WE WOULD RUN HIM FROM AMONG US. The essential qualities of the original Blackman and Black Woman is fundamentally different than the colored man. Theirs is predatory, adversarial, competitive, and opportunistic masked behind a civil way. And because we are different, that puts us at odds with the civilization the colored man has made for himself. He has not been reaching out to understand us better since the "Hippie Movement" of the 1960's...

It has been a long time since I've been to Mecca proper. The trip renewed my soul and solidify me to my goals! I personally know a lot of people in this Nation! My person lost track of that jewel! I B U has visited my person twice and we have introduced him to our universal family in Power Hill, but this was the first time "pilgrimage." You must understand, with ALL of my person's students WE STRIVE TO WALK WITH THEM as much as possible. What good is Knowledge of Self for them if it is not about Self Development? Whether you grew up with a student in the hood or been associated with them from work or school, your duty is to assist them with their personal development in changing from Nigger to God: And to do the job effectively, you need to learn their idiosyncrasies from observation and conversation to assist them with key insights into their character TO HELP REFINE THEM AND GET OUT OF THEIR "SELF IMPOSED PRISONS." That's real family love, people. Like they said on the show "Candid Camera: "It's Fun [candid] to look at yourself, with a look that's tide and true. It's Fun [candid] to look at yourself as other people do..." I'm looking out for you "family." It was good to be in I B U [I Born Understanding's] company as he witness the many Universal family members that my persons and Saladin knew; some who help teach us, some we taught, some we walked with, and ones who walked with us. "Am I my Brother's Keeper?" replied Cain to God... "Yes you are," replied this God to you, who view things in this manner...

Anyway, it was great to see that our trading within the school has diversified and expanded. There is a lot of growth in this aspect, both in the products offered and the products and services produced. There were educational things, there were things like God Jamel's DVD on Black Film Makers, interviews and various things for the babies. The God and I have a history that goes back to the School in Mecca since my person was a newborn! Phew! Anyway, I was proud of these advancements. The Earth's enterprising within the lunch area, the monitoring of the children, etc., has taken leaps and bounds as well. Sometimes our Nation may not be as fast in developing as everyone may like, but we are getting there! Speaking of which, Saladin turned my persons on to a picture based on actual events called, "The Duchess," directed Saul Dibb's, based upon a story written by Amanda Foreman. I could tell that Saladin had some issues with the behavior and customs of the aristocracy in 18th century England. This is a very important point to grasp and study, because as "Kings and Queens," we should be prone to observe how "other nobility" and "so-called civilized people conduct themselves." In the book, "The Ancient Mediterranean World" the author Robin W. Winks states: "The real work of ancient historians is to locate and interpret the kind of raw evidence from antiquity that will shed light on the problems they want to investigate. For example, dramas and novel--which often focus on love, marriage and family-can illuminate aspects of everyday life that no historical source can reveal." My persons studies BRANCH OF KNOWLEDGE WHICH DEALS WITH EVENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY TAKEN PLACE. I STUDY PERIOD TIME-PIECES: BIOGRAPHICAL, DRAMATIC WORKS IN PLAY AND MOVIE FORMATS as well as ACCOUNTS AND NARRATIVES OF A CHRONOLOGICAL NATURE. DEPICTING FOREGONE EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF NATIONS, COMMUNITIES, INSTITUTIONS AND THE LIKE (such as history or our-story). Doing this gives us key insight into Our True Self and the lives of others. Watching this movie, it is easy to see the savagery and ill-treatment of women within circa Victorian Britain fully supported by custom and law masquerading as civility! But recognize, back then the colored man was wearing how they really feel on their "sleeves," today they camouflage it and call it something else. Seeing their ancestry and history, these seem hardly the type of people that "said persons like us" should be trying to be in league with (regardless of the money opportunities)-- much less trying to be part of their civilization or nation.

Compare these 18th century English culture and customs, to the time period in American History circa 1950-1960, before the civil rights movement: "Segregation." When segregation was going on in this country, the Blackman and Blackwoman of this country did "for Self" because the rest of American society was segregated and our ancestors were without the goods and services a united society would provide. There was "For Colored Only" signs and "For Whites Only" signs posted on places and things and Black people better pay attention to these signs or else the police or an angry mob of whites would be there to enforce it. This was a way of life for all of America. It had mores, customs, ways and actions centered around whites wanting nothing to do with us. The whites were the ruling class and it was their people who called the shots for "their" society. Discrimination was at an all time high, while progress towards social Equality was at a "snails gallop." Lynching and racial tension was also at its highest, since slavery. Look at any movie Sidney Poitier did during those years and you will get the picture... Many Whites considered these policies, "Separate but Equal." They considered the schooling "Separate but Equal." The considered the housing situation with its "red-line policies" "Separate but Equal." They must have had on blindfolds or dark glasses.

Ironically, it was during Segregation, that black accomplishments and achievements advanced tremendously. Partly because WE HAD ONLY OURSELVES TO RELY ON. No white man was going to come down the chimney in a 'Santa suit' to give "us po' disadvantaged folks" any relief. No "righteous white man" was going to "step off the cross" to save us or "give us a job" at a "whites only" store or be like John Brown. We had to get what we needed largely, if not solely, on our own. WE HAD TO LEARN TO DEPEND AND RELY ON STRICTLY OURSELVES (and there ain't nothing wrong with that)! And the other part is that we believed we could do it! We were more confident as a people then. Marcus Garvey’s UNIA Movement, Father Divine’s Peace Movement, and The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's Nation Of Islam are lasting effects of the period.

The Civil Rights Movement of the 60's pushed for the "equal rights" and integration rather than acceptance that "Separatism" existed in the minds of whites and we just need to make sure that it is fair. Instead they attempted to appeal to "the moral nature" of the White man. They had rallies. They had sit-ins. They had marches (Google Martin Luther King or Segregation). As a result, Blacks got arrested. Police dogs let loose on Blacks even when they did these things peacefully. They received bodily harm by White mobs on several occasions. The Black militant groups brought on another type of pressure on American society for FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND EQUALITY. Martin Luther King imitated Gandhi's non-violent protest against America's racists policies. Malcolm X called for Blacks to petition the United Nations for "Human Rights" rather than trying to get "Civil Rights" at the hands of American Society... Shouts for EMPOWERMENT, WHITE POWER, BLACK POWER, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND EQUALITY WAS EVERYWHERE! Social unrest filled the streets... America had a powder keg on its hands and had to figure out something. The "cat was out the bag" and America was looking bigoted to the entire world, just like South Africa. They had to concede in somewhat, so they made it appear like the Civil Rights Activists were successful at making many whites feel guilty for THEIR atrocities to Black people: both past and present. They "fell back" here and there, put Affirmative Action in place, changed the Red Lining policies, and did a pretty good job at "CONCEALING THEIR DIRTY RELIGION." But the so-called "integration" the Civil Rights Activists RECEIVED was not the kind of integration where "you do what you do and I do what I do" and both ways get equal consideration: We are talking about "tolerating the differences (with an undertone snarl and mutter underneath the breath)!" We are talking about "temperance (easy now don't blow your top)" and "Affirmative Action laws" which forces the public to do what they really don't feel in their hearts (or have evolved to the understanding of), as opposed to love, peace, Understanding and social equality. As they said in Tammany Hall in the movie "Gangs of New York, "We must uphold the appearance of the Law, especially when we are breaking it." WHICH MEANS, YOU CAN STILL HIRE YOUR COLORED UNDERACHIEVING FRIENDS INSTEAD OF A "OVER-QUALIFIED" BLACKMAN, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE CREATIVE ABOUT IT BY USING WORDS LIKE "OVER-QUALIFIED," OR YOU LIVE TOO FAR, ETC. And so, for a handful of great black baseball players being accepted into Major League Baseball in the United States, the Negro League with its myriad of "very good Black Baseball teams," folded one after another. Black Concession stand businesses died, one after the other. Affiliated Black businesses suffered one after the other, because some of our people would rather go to the Major League Games and sit in the stands (which many whites did not want to see us in) to see us black players like Jackie Robinson get spat-on and defy odds of being unsuccessful, as we wished for BEING A PART OF THEIR SOCIAL EQUALITY one day (8/1-14). Like Jesse Owens did in Nazi Germany, when he ran for an America that segregated its schools and restaurant... Yes, we did for "Self" alright, but only because we were forced to. A lot of us wanted to get in on what these "White Americans" had taken for themselves. And for destroying all our major accomplishments, we got "pennies on each dollar."

As a people, we learned to generally hate ourselves and the color of our skins because of the conditions it afforded us in a predominately white American society. Their stereotypical "Tarzan movies" with "bones sticking out of the natives noses," left us with an impression that did not have us looking towards Central Asia for any inspiration or encouragement. The new youth in Black American Society was starting to believe that we couldn't do much on our own. They did not believe in THE CAUSE. They did not believe the demands of FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND EQUALITY that the Nation of Islam was shouting about would have any success! We were psychologically damaged by the oppression that whites openly and inadvertently dumped on us. WE HAVE GOT TO GET BACK TO THAT "DO FOR SELF," "LIBERTY OR DIE TRYING," "NO COMPROMISING," ATTITUDE THAT OUR RECENT ANCESTORS HAD. They did a lot back in those days. Google on the internet and check it out, I'm sure you will find it encouraging to your development!

On another note, my person once had a "student" who literally sought us out to learn our teachings from WE-- only to get to the point wherein becoming a God, he felt that he could not only advocate he didn't need me any more, but born that we have a difference in understanding and become critical of our perspective. Now for those who are reading this and are well-acquainted with our writings, we are sure that you will agree that my persons only writes in a comprehensive, analytical, mathematical, alphabetical, lesson-orientated scientific perspective. There is almost literally nothing that comes out of my persons builds, in way of understanding, that is not illustrated or justified thoroughly. In other words, I will show and prove what I say at least 99.9% of the time. I leave little room to be refuted. And those who personally know me will say that I write the way I speak and strive to speak the way I live. There is no phoniness here, nor over exaggeration! THEREFORE, REST ASSURED THAT ANYONE WHO CLAIMS THAT WE HAVE DIFFERENCE IN UNDERSTANDING, CANNOT BE BASING HIS/OR HER UNDERSTANDING ON ANYTHING FOUND WITHIN OUR MATHEMATICS, ALPHABETS, JEWELS OR ONE HUNDRED TWENTY LESSONS. Anything I taught, in way of instructing those seeking Knowledge of Self, was taught in the manner and context of the way that my persons was taught-- as with anything that is called a custom, tradition or culture.

It is only after teaching CIVILIZATION, RIGHTEOUS, AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF ONE SELF, would we expound on things by teachings comparative studies a.k.a THE SCIENCE OF EVERYTHING IN LIFE (18/1-40) [always keeping the two separate]. Even within this context, everything covered (even concerning Ausar Auset Society) was taught under the analytical eye of I-God and NGE, being made known through scientific perspective. In other words, every comparative study is always matched to the system of values, morals, and ideas contained within our lessons, mathematics, alphabets and jewels. THESE ARE MY FUNDAMENTAL TOOLS THAT I STRESS AS THE FOUNDATION. This is my manner and code of conduct. Recognize that even the father, Allah, constructed Supreme Mathematics and Alphabets, he did so from the concepts behind words which were already in existence within the Nation of Islam (guided under the tutelage of Allah, in the persons of Master Fard)!!

"We have a difference in understanding." Interesting. Mercy: The Attribute. He seeks what he does not give. Travels on the "I AM TRAIN" but is not headed in the same direction as I. My experience is that this does not treat people how he wants to be treated: A key prerequisite to Love. Knows little about love yet claims the attribute of Mercy. Selfish? More common to ungrateful and Ego-centric. Many confuse Narcissism and Egotism with Self Love. This is incorrect. Love is understanding that we are all one. Love is where all things find their unity in the One Supreme Source where all is created from. People who think like this use WE and US a lot in their builds, egocentric people use "I" frequently. IN OUR ASSESSMENT, THIS PERSON DOES NOT LOVE SELF, THE PERSON IS PUMPED-UP WITH A FALSE SENSE OF IMPORTANCE; Terms of which is questionable of whether the person believes or this is the impression that they want others to believe. Love is not segregated and divisive like the Ego, Love is concerned with the ALL, THE SELF, the true I... Aye? Eye (Cee). Knowledge and Understanding are One. Aye and Eye are One just as I and Eye are One. And just as I and I are one; the You and I are one; Which means You and Me are One just as You and We are One. That means just as You and He are One, You and She are One... Is that, or is that not, the way that we were taught: That Allah formed All from His "Self?" I am He as you are me; As you are He and She, and We are all together. One Nation under Allah. Right? This is the paradox of I Am, you either understand that or you don't. How can there be anything greater!

My lessons teach We are one with Allah. We are a collective consciousness; which makes us a singularity. I love my people. I Love NGE. God is a group reality, witnessed thru the eyes of the individual. I Believe in the day for which I have waited for 456 years (40/1-40). We may not always agree at all times, but between the Self I sojourn with the bond is tight, we have a civil, wise and just ways, to reconcile our difficulties. There may be differences in expression, but it is that uniqueness which adds to our greatness because it all comes from a common foundation that gives us food for thought, growth, and reflection. We are not in competition with each other: We apply our discipline to our own persons within the form of "SELF CONTROL" AND REFINEMENT. There is trust and integrity because we are not adversaries! The Devil(s) has to murdered because he is a snake and if allowed to live, he would sting someone else (10/1-14)! WE come as the Gods and Earths! We are scientists advocated for one common cause, to uplift our Nation! This is what I accept and aspire to. I Live, walk and talk this above math!

When we hear our family all talk about the Father, We recognize Allah represents for ALL OF US, THAT ASPECT OF FATHER NONE OF US EVER HAD AND WILL TO BECOME. Oh, we all may have had dads, but VERY FEW OF US HAD FATHERS-- Ones who truly furthered our educations. My persons dad came close to being a Father but he went back to essence in "97 at the age of 75-- We would never disrespect him or what he had to give; all praises due. I SINCERELY WILL THAT WE, AS THE MALES IN THIS NATION REPEAT WHAT ALLAH, THE FATHER MEANS TO ALL OF US: Not just a biological dad but one who raises his children's standards of living, Knowledge, wisdom and understanding... despite any of the struggles we may have with the ones who incarnated our children. The devil taught us SELF HATRED, a lesson many of us learnt well. But there are bigger things at stake for us here: Our Nobility, our dignity, the standard we present as the promise of a future and the proper way to stand by our children-- whether or whether not anyone else understands this. We know who the true and living God is (16/1-40). Others who have a different understanding speak in different ways...

We are a different type of Blackman and Blackwoman. The world we are striving to create is much different than the bigot world we are suffering through. The concepts behind the Lessons, Mathematics, Alphabets, and Jewels show us the way. There can be no partnership with devil! Our Lessons explain the treachery that happened after we had taught the 10% to be civil (which is why I cannot find it in my heart to love those who learn about what we know, then go join up with the 10%, to me, they are double agents). We are the people who wrote the Holy Qu'ran and Bible. Within these, we read of tribes who were under bondage and they have come back to reestablish their freedom and culture. What about us? Our lessons speak of freedom, justice, and equality... They are our jewels as well so they should be most important to you! We are destined to establish our own Black Nation here in the wilderness. The NOI established "Shabazz" stores. NOI established commerce with Japan to develop their marketing of fish. In this way, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad set an example of what is possible. But more over, ALLAH let us know that relying on another nation and compromising our future by trying to fit into that nation's culture and values is so unalike. And as an example of the system we embrace, ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOTALLY ESTABLISHING OUR OWN NATION, IS LIKE THE DEVIL SETTLING ON THE BEST PART OF THE PLAN-ET EARTH (1/1-14)? So when we hear other things COMING FROM SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS THEY WERE TAUGHT BY MY PERSONS, YOU HAVE TO QUESTION WHAT IT IS THAT THIS PERSON SAYS HE LEARNED FROM ME, SINCE HE CLAIMS TO BE MY STUDENT. You have to wonder, since our lessons teach of the Oneness of Allah, righteousness, civilization, Nationhood, and family, why this person's so called "builds" (or people like him) never include things of this nature. It must be because they don't truly know. So we ask: "what is it that they "disagree" with and what is it that they "accept" within our teachings?" If They are comparing themselves to the wisdom my persons possess, then are they in competition with me? If they are in competition with me, then are they in competition with the True Self? Since the things I advocate is the same as those things the father advocated, are those things that this person advocate "God-like" or other than "Self?" Why did we run Yacob and his made devil from the roots of civilization (4/1-14)?

To be continued…

Is there Such a thing
as Disposable People?

By Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz

We are who we are and that's it. We are not going to become something, we're not-- that is, without good reason. We will never revert back to the dregs of society where they once put us! A lot of us were on the path to 'self destruction and had to change or die... We just could not believe this, because we know better than that... yet some of us believed it... We could not accept the religious themes taught to us in our innocence and youth, either. Yet some of our own people, seemly, do not have a problem with it, stating that, "It doesn't really matter" --with the 10% of their respective congregations offering no redress whatsoever. The Emancipation Proclamation happened in 1865, Segregation was challenged by the Civil Rights movement circa 1965. So a hundred years had passed and the action that was taken was against something called Segregation. Segregation means that the persons in question sentiments are that they really don't want to share. The Civil Rights Movement implies that you don't have the same rights. The push was towards Justice, Equality; a.k.a. "fairness." Issues towards repatriations were brought up. The Japanese got repatriations from the United States for holding Japanese Americans in holding (concentration) camps against their will, in fear they may be spies amongst them who were loyal to Japan only. The Black Central Asian or so-called African in America thought he should be repatriated land and/or money for the years his ancestors worked American soil as slaves against their will and received no GOLD FOR HIS LABOR. We received no repatriations (30/1-36) and the illusion of an equal society, if you could afford it and lived in their communities the way they had established it. Of course there was resistance, usually some what complied with in reluctance. In many cases you still worked for the same kind you used to slave for. The same people are usually in majority for the group who shows or sells you the house, or the ones who are the judges. It's still fairness in someone else's eyes... you are asking to share THEIR PIE... The town of Deadwood was a part of land already given to Native Americans as reservation land-- that is, until they found out their was gold in the river and stream areas... As you look throughout most Black Churches, you see a picture of a White Jesus hanging up as the savior of these black people. In the Philippines, whose ancestors are the Negritoes, they worship the Black baby Jesus... It has been said, that before the riots in late 60's (after Martin Luther King was shot), pale Jews owned most of the stores along our neighborhood commerce street. Are we, as a people saying, subconsciously, that we can only accept a white skin as being worthy enough to have god live within? Have we not learned that the oldest Hebrews on the planet live in Kush (so-called Ethiopia) today and are called the Falasha? Are we accepting a form of white superiority? Are we saying that Whites should get preferential treatment over Blacks in America? We helped build this great country, shouldn't we have the same human and civil rights? What color should Jesus and the chosen people be for the black man in America?My parents, parents were incarnated circa 1902, but my parents great grandparents were actually slaves! Just think, slavery being that close that it was right beyond my parent's grandmother! As a group of people, we were introduced to these North American group of Whites as its slave labor force; a reality that would never have us rise above menial labor in the eyes of most whites. Many problems Whites have with President Obama stem from the fact that this outlook of "class assigned to color," is an institutionalized American outlook that is racist in nature and is subliminally placed within the minds of most Whites and Blacks in this country. A lot of us accept the racists undertones in this country, in the same way people usually avoid run-ins with the law or doing battle with City Hall. Many of our self-defeating ways also originate from the same undeniable fact! Which brings up an interesting muse, for in the case of indentured servitude, most European countries were dealing with a class struggle between rich and poor, long before slavery and founded according to race. During the time of Christian Reformation (the birth of Protestantism and other Non-Catholic religions) in Europe, while the newly born bourgeoisie class was coming of age, those who decided to take such a trip to the New World (America), did so in hopes to escape social and religious persecution back in Europe... Many tried to escape the serf-servant class they were in. Most refugees could not afford the trip to America on the income they were making, so they sold themselves INTO a number of years of servitude, to have an opportunity to deliver themselves FROM a class of servitude: Picture that!

Most ships of this nature set dock in the Virginia area. A lot of this type of servitude took place in the New World occurred here initially. These servants were both Black and White (Native Americans did not make good slaves probably because this was their land). In America, an indentured servant was to be offered 40 acres and a mule after his tenure, along with a weapon to protect said property, In Bermuda, their solution to the 40 acre and a mule issue was simple-- overwork the servants to death! American history records one Blackman becoming quite successful in this endeavor. Of course, thoughts went into how to keep this type of Black Enterprise from spreading. And it was in this area, to my recollection, that a rebellion took place between a group of indentured servants and their employer/ masters. This incident made its way before a local judge. Now even though there were several white indentured servants involved in this rebellion, it would seem this particular judge took exception to Black Men rising up to whites, period, and with a stroke of a pen put in effect the end to the need to supply forty acres and a mule at the end of service by assigning him to slavery for the rest of his life for his part in the deed. This being the case, the act put into effect, the notion that Whites no longer had to offer the same servitude conditions to Blacks as they did to European Whites attempting to escape the menial class or religious persecution. They could own them. One Hundred Twenty documents: "Yes, the trader made an interpretation that we would receive more gold for our labor which was more than we were earning in our own country. Did we receive more gold? No, the trader disappeared and there was no one there to speak our language (28,29,30/1-36)." Here our ancestors are-- as it were, "on the outside looking in." Working to one day be free and able to join in being citizens of a new land or becoming Americans, perhaps to send money back to their love ones back home (as so many Africans, Jamaicans and foreigners do today), and finding themselves imprisoned into a life of slavery! It was a judgment call done by someone who was not your color but in the seat of power to determine your ancestor's destiny.

"Is There Such A Thing As Disposable People?"

One of the things my persons notices about our people is our aversion to studying slavery and the central Asian continent that the colored man re-labeled "Africa." It is almost as though Blacks in America only want to live in the present and worry only about today. MANY OF US DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR PAST, THEY JUST WANT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT OURSELVES. Many of our people who had been bitten by drug addictions frequently state that they "LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME." This means, there's been a lot of disappointment. Maybe its the disappointment of trying to fit in. Maybe its the frustration of needing and wanting things that one just cannot have. Or knowing that you were not one of the free, privileged, or accepted. How does that One go: "Free and _____ Masons?" It is as though Blacks in America are trying to avoid a troubled past, and by avoiding that troubling past, they will keep the past behind them. Very little is mentioned about it (but we do have a two tier Black Society because of it), and the only reference made may be through a series of "Nigger jokes" (run like a n--, like a slave n--, run down like a pair of slave boots, etc.), that we use ON and TO ourselves. But it is more like when two parents don't get along and the children wound up blaming each other: YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH UNTIL YOU INVESTIGATE. Some of our folks go to other cities and re-invent ourselves, on behalf of this UNSETTLED FEELING: Like the infamous, notorious whore in New York City, who comes to Philly, or Lewis, Delaware, to live her life as "Gertude Huxtable." But you need to know the truth. It's the reason why you take that ump-teenth drink that you know you shouldn't have. It's the reason why you shoot up. The reason why you "take that hit" from the glass tip... It's the reason why you trip.... It is as though some of our folks are running away from some terrible truth about themselves-- or at least something they'd just rather not deal with-- and it has left us not feeling good about ourselves as a people. BUT THE NATURE OF THE MIND IS TO SOLVE DIFFICULTIES. DIFFICULTIES WHICH ARE NOT RESOLVED, WILL ONLY RESURFACE LIKE THE TRUTH DOES WHEN IT IS HIDDEN. We, as persons with Knowledge of Self, cannot engage in such foolishness because that will be a part of ourSelf that WE JUST WONT KNOW, or a part of ourSelf that we just cannot properly handle; both of which are contradictory to the very notion to having Knowledge of who you are. THERE MUST BE CLOSURE. This is only fear and Self-loathing; which is the opposite of knowledge of Self; contradictory to confidence and a highly emotional and irrational state. The sun is the symbol of knowledge and reason; and if you are a said person of that ability, so should you be and the only reason one wouldn't be is BECAUSE THE DEVIL PLANTED FEAR IN HIM WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY (8/1-36)]! But I'm here to say that, "NONE OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH WHO YOU REALLY ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF. Those are two different things." But it could be called "SELF-HATRED" and "VOLUNTEERED SLAVERY" because YOU ARE AVOIDING SELF AWARENESS. Sly Stone says of this: "Pretty, pretty, pretty as a picture/Witty, witty, witty as you can be; Blind cause your eyes see only glitter/Closed to the things that make you free..." [Somebodies Watching You- Sly & The Family Stone].

This is a state of mind that you have taken on for the time being: It is A BELIEF and not KNOWLEDGE. As I-Freedom once said, "You can be a bum out on a park bench, and that God force will still be in your being. In other words, "You will still be God, even though you would not be acting like it." In the bible, Jonah was sent by God to minister to the people of Nineveh. His fears overtook him and he tried to escape his job by fleeing to Tarish. On his way, he was swallowed up by a whale and remained within it for several days; after which he was spewed-out upon land. When he lifted his eyes, he realized he was in Nineveh. Moral of the story: IF YOU ARE THE SAID PERSON, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE YOUR DESTINY.When I look back at the past, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH OUR ANCESTORS WERE ALWAYS FACING THEIR PAST AND DEALING WITH THEIR SITUATION SQUARELY. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THEY KNEW JUST WHAT THEY WERE FACING AND STRIVING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY DEPENDED ON THEMSELVES. THIS ONLY MADE THEM STRONGER. I might also add, the intention of the colonist was very straight forward as well. They might have shuffled their feet a little, to get a little footing from the Native Americans (about 1492-1554), but by the time indentured servitude and slavery (1555 is our date of arrival) occurred, their posture was quite obvious and un-hidden. I guess there was no way to avoid the approach that our ancestors had, because short of dying or surrendering totally, there were little alternatives. THEY KNEW THEY WERE CAPTIVES SOLD INTO A SLAVERY UNLIKE ANYTHING PRACTICED ON THEIR CONTINENT. THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY BEING TREATED SUBHUMAN, AS PROPERTY, AND WOULD BE EXTINGUISHED IF THEY FAILED TO OBEY THE COMMANDS OF THESE SLAVE DRIVERS. Nothing would be done to a slave master who killed his slave. They had less rights than an animal today. If you killed an animal today, the SPCA can press charges against you, but in America Blacks were considered disposable people.

THE FIRST INDENTURED SERVANTS AND SLAVES WERE AWARE OF THEIR HOMELAND. THEY HAD ANOTHER CULTURE. REBELLIONS WERE PLENTY BECAUSE THEY HAD THEIR CULTURE, THEIR PRIDE, THEIR DIGNITY. THIS MEANT THAT MOST OF THEM KNEW THEY HAD ANOTHER LIFESTYLE BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS HELL THAT THE WHITE SLAVE MASTER MADE FOR BLACK PEOPLE; HIS SO-CALLED AMERICA. THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE COMPARISONS AND THEREBY KNEW BETTER. IF THEY DIDN'T, THEY KNEW THEY WANTED ANOTHER LIFE OTHER THAN THE ONE THESE WHITES WERE GIVING THEM. THEY SAW WHAT HAD BECOME OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN AND THEY SAW THE WAY THE COLONIST HAD FOR NON-WHITE PEOPLE. But in the future, their Black children, on a whole, would not be as wise because they would not know of this past... [Well they were made blind, deaf, and dumb when they were babies (24/1-36)]. A lot of the stories you may have heard about slaves in Elementary and High School were more like an overview with very little details. IF YOU READ SLAVE NARRATIVES like Olaudato Aquiano or Frederick Douglas, THE DETAILS YOU ARE GETTING IS FROM THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IT. If not, you are getting an interpretation, regardless of whether they are presenting some or many facts. Remember that. One of the things you will learn from such first hand accounts by the people themselves is that we were not unskilled people going into slavery. We were carpenters, craftsmen, artists, musicians, everything you would find in a regular society. This view makes much sense since in most cases with slave owners, there were language barriers and we are sure you couldn't get a high degree of skilled education taught strictly "ala bull-whip" method (strictly through fear of punishment). The subjugated people had to have a good base of cultural skills, outside of being vanquished warriors. We were prisoners of war, sold into slavery many times by the hands of our own people in feuds or wars between tribes. WE WERE CAPTIVES SOLD INTO SERVITUDE, STRICTLY TO WORK FOR ANOTHER TYPE OF MAN WHOM WE HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED IN OUR HOMELAND. We were not familiar to all the White man's ways. Our lessons teaches us that our people were tricked by a trader giving impressions through his interpretations into our language or "tricknowledge" (28,29,30/1-36).

As a slave, you worked for the rich (those who could outlay such money for the purchase of several people). You were either a skilled, semi-skilled or menial worker. If you were good at a craft, the slave master would rent you out to his neighbors (like a plow-horse or a tool) for a fee (but you wouldn't get paid). Imagine what type of person would do that... At the end of a hard week nowadays, you have the comfort of knowing you are getting paid: These people were told they would get more gold for their labor... now they see the master taking the gold he or she should have had! Imagine the feelings running through the slave... Imagine the type of person who could "bull" pass the obvious sentiments he knows the other persons must have and steal the gold from those whose labor he stole. The captive was taken to a foreign land and had no way of returning to where they came from (32/1-36). If you were the child of a captive, you probably didn't know which land you came from, because the babies were sold for additional monies (like a basket of eggs, the farmer would sell his livestock to other farmers). Imagine the fear of a child, existing in this type of world with no family or relatives: no father, no mother, nor sister or brother... Emotional rape is the best way to describe this. No wonder so many of our families are so dysfunctional. Blacks don't have a long history of family in this country because of this policy. The demands western society places on the working class borns a lot of stress and tension. As they say, "It is not 'Whistle-Stop-Job-Pay' that gets to you, it's the 'Whistle-Stop-Mentality." On the journey to America, no fellow countrymen or country women from Central Asia or A-ke-bu-lan were shipped upon the same ship. The slave traders were afraid that if the captives could communicate with eachother, it could lead to conspiracies. So to avoid mutinies, they made sure no one could speak the same language or dialect besides the traders. You can see how this would effect future trust and bonding with Black community members... After the captives were sold at the auction block, the prisoner would have to get acclimated to how things were going to be done: a.k.a. slave conditions. Once this was established, you had a choice: You either got on the path to destruction or in some way you had to accept the concept that your body was the property of another man. In this ownership, not even your children would be protected from his propriety. And it is this subconscious feeling of powerlessness against the western society -at large-, that plagues Blacks to this very same day! The colored man, not the parents, owned the Black Man's and Women's children! Today, the TV, Video games, and TV programming (if not incarceration) owns our children but the conditions are the same because it is the white man's culture and civilization, not ours. A lot of our children's concepts, values and assessments concerning life, originate from here: The average Black child remembers the strength and weaknesses of their favorite video game characters, cartoon heroes and/or sitcom personas like some Greek pantheon of gods and goddesses of a complex religion of Western polytheism (which badly imitates Kabalistic, "so-called African" Secret Societies). And mind you, these character analysis are very complex (I know, my person has had several conversation with children and witness the many layers)! Most slave owners then, treated the black family like a litter of highly used "beasts of burden;" selling children whenever money was needed, to whomever they pleased. There seemed to be little regard for how the Black parents felt concerning the selling of children in slavery. As previously stated, "One would sell a Black child as simply as one would sell a puppy from one of several litters. There is no surprise to my person, why today we have so many difficulties associated with family. Psychologically, that had to damage both parents deeply, destroying most sense of our past within the children. Today, many choose not to investigate the past. Mind you, this is not all our past, just the reason why things are this way in America...

OUR ANCESTORS WANTED TO BREAK FREE AND START THEIR OWN SOCIETY, DEDICATING A LOT OF TIME AND ENERGY TO IT. They knew of life outside of what the plantation provided. They wanted to repair their families and their family values. They wanted their music and cultural activities. At first, many knew of architecture beyond what whites built. They had values beyond what whites could appreciate. They knew they were on this planet longer than the whites who owned them as slaves, they knew they were put on this earth to be much more than that, but a few years of having their babies sold to various slave owners, this would have later generations know less of their homeland and more of the hellish nightmare these children were incarnated into. They know less of our cultural ways which were different American lifestyle, architecture, religion, etc., due to this practice. THIS IS AN INTERESTING POINT TO NOTE, BECAUSE TODAY, DUE TO A GENERAL DISINTEREST IN THE WAY THE SO-CALLED "OLD HEADS" LIVE AND DO THINGS, BOTH IN THE ORDINARY WORLD AND WITHIN THE REALM OF THOSE WHO TEACH KNOWLEDGE OF SELF, BLACK PEOPLE ARE LOSING CUSTOMARY WAYS. Therefore many of our descendants are reverting back to savage ways or ways which originate from the Devil's Civilization, mainly because they are not cultivating the ways of those who came before! Proper transmittance is not taking place! Our children and younger people who are soliciting for Knowledge of Self from the outside world, are incorporating the prejudice of "Old School" and "New School" (evident philosophies that exist in Hip Hop Culture) into their way of thinking about life; therefore blocking out of a lot of the ways we transmit wisdom and truth from the Old to the young. In other words, a lot of our ancient wisdom is becoming buried, in the same way that they use Jesus name for Christianity, but the customs Jesus tried to deliver to his disciples was buried. In other words, the practice is anything but (5/1-14). Concepts concerning What is God, How God should act, What is Civilization, Righteousness, Knowledge of Self, and the science of everything in life (18/1-40) has become bastardized into a Hip-Hoppish, thugged out, "new school" way of looking at life. The understanding of the Twelve Jewels, the way of building, the incorporation of Lessons, Supreme Mathematics, the Supreme Alphabet, etc., into the perception of the days degrees are being lost to many younger people. In a few minutes of talking to a few younger students, you can see that a lot of the older proverbial wisdom and basic concepts concerning "said people of this ability" is not only failed to be comprehended but the 'aire of godliness' is not carried or properly incorporated. Many are saying "the words," but aren’t grasping them nor feeling them in their hearts and minds. Therefore, they are living contradictory, because our true concepts are bastardized by current day thoughts.

From 1555 to 1865, the divisions in American society were clear. You were not allowed into their society. This is not only true for The Slavery period in American History, there is a period in America before the Civil Rights Era of the 60's called Segregation [I suggest you Google the topic] and this is not so distant past. Whites during the period from 1555-1865 were either masters, or descendants of the people who took the land from the native Americans. This deed was done after, of course, being helped by the same Native Americans to survive the harsh American winters. Whites had become defined as the ruling class in America. The decisions concerning letting Blacks into American society was left squarely in the White man's hands. It was THEIR government and THEIR rules and they did not do it right after the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865. If they did, the Civil Right Movement of the 1960's would not have been necessary. We did not have part in it's legislation and customs but we did have part in its construction: we provided FREE LABOR in the form of slavery! If you were free Blackman in North America, you were not represented in legislation. If you conducted business according to their rules of trade, obeyed its civic laws, there would probably be no problem or room for incident. Unless the incident was concerning fair treatment, then a Black Man or Women would realize by law, their lives were considerably less: "about three fifths of a white person, to be considered along with livestock." What that meant was that you were recognized as somewhat human (3/5ths, for the purpose of determining how many delegates shall be appointed in the house of representatives in states where slaves resided), but as far as rights were concerned, you had the rights of livestock and other such property. In other words, you had no civil rights. There were no laws against discrimination. So, as a Black person, if you were treated unfair, you could not take your case to court because you were not given any rights in America [Google the Dred Scott Case or The Scottsboro Boys Case for more information concerning this]. Therefore the judge would not hear your case. In America, your life was not equal to that of whites, in the eyes of whites, so Black people knew better than to try to become part of their society at that time. The only thing blacks seemed to bank on is compassion and humanity when looking for work... and maybe not compassion down south. We often had to rely on whites for employment in those days, wherein we would be humiliated many times, doing clownish gestures to appeal to their need to believe we thought they were superior, often helping Black Women before they would assist the Black Man at holding his family together... unless we chanced across another Black, who'd size us up first and if we seem ok, they'd assist (but even with some of our own, they thought they were better because they were in a better position)! Please research the Bulter vs. Perry case of 1916-- So called 3/5's Compromise and Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. In one of the three treatises, we spoke of a judge, who with one stroke of a pen, turned servitude in this country from indentured to slavery based upon the color of the skin. That was his judgment call, but isn't all life a judgment call? We make decisions on the basis of the information available to us, reasoning, and sometimes according to our sentimentalities (feelings). Sometimes sentimentalities may be based upon current trends. Sometimes, they may be facts and sometimes what is based for the overall good of the country.

A lot of what happened in Nazi Germany occurred, not because of evil people but because of a collective feeling in the air; a sign of the times; feelings of resentment, etc. The similar thing occurred in Bosnia and Serbia; concerning the Muslim community within their Slavic population. I think that it is particularly dangerous for Black people in America with their vicarious semi-symbiotic relationship with White America to rely on the relationship given the types of sentimentalities we know exists between us. I myself, do not consider myself a MARK or BUSTER... WE MUST DO FOR SELF. WHAT AMAZES ME IS THE RETRIEVAL OF ONLY CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF THE SEVENTIES FOR USE IN THE LIFESTYLES OF THE EIGHTIES, NINETIES, THE TWO THOUSANDS TO THE PRESENT. My persons is not naive. Every generation romanticizes the decade they were incarnated in because the most of what we form our adult lives out of is the impressions we retrieve from our childhood. Everyone does this. Those who were "war-babies (1941-1948)" (post WWII) reached and grabbed elements from 1951 to 1958 and effectively utilized it for some of the themes they created for the 60's. Those incarnated in 1958 romanticize the 1961 up unto 1968; utilizing those themes for the 1970's. THE ISSUE HERE IS, WHAT WAS RETRIEVED FROM THE 1970'S. The themes of players, pimps and prostitutes get scooped by the group from around 1968, to utilize for their themes of the 1980's. WE HAVE A LOT OF ELEMENTS AVAILABLE WHICH WERE HARDER TO OBTAIN, YET MANY OF OUR FACTORS ARE FACILITATING FOOLISHNESS. Though they were fun to watch, they were parades, stereotypes and exploitation on film. The only reason they did well is because we were dying to see Black people on film and the raw outrageous drama was exciting and real-looking. Today people speak about "Keeping it real." But in both generations, it should have been about KEEPING IT RIGHT. The problem in both cases the audience making the decisions to support it was our children who are still in our homes and full of "hormone disturbances" spurring a rebellious nature before their true age of social consciousness. If half of you were to put out hip-hop hits at your current age of 30+, it would not have the same lyrical content that you would have spat at 18! That's because you know more, but what you might have said at 18, set a prerequisite for the younger generations to come. That's how stereotypes bite us in the butt. You might know better but now you are considered the "corny one."The whole pimp, prostitute, player-drug dealer image says that its ok to look at some of our own people as usable, exploitative, disposable, discarded people. This is buying into the venom the devil stung us with from slavery: broken homes, dysfunctional families, feelings of worthlessness. Some of us have brought into the devil's snare! We believe such rubbish that ownership has taught. Now the disposal/exploitative/usury concept might be ok to you, until somebody labels you as such:

"The economy's in an uproar/the whole damn system's in the red; Taxi-fare went up a dollar--you mean to tell me that ‘Billy Green is Dead’? The government can't decide on busing/or at least that's what they said; Yeah, I heard you/when you told me, you said that ‘Billy Green is Dead’. But let me tell you about these hot pants that this big leg sister wore/ went out partying with the Alphas-- what? Billy took an overdose? Well... junkies will be junkies... but did you see GUN SMOKE last night? Yeah, they had themselves a shoot out/folks was dying left and right... When Marshall Dillion was in the corner/I had damn-nuff gave up hope... Why you keep on interrupting/ you said, ‘My son is taking dope?’ Well, call the doctor/ call the law! What you mean/I shouldn't scream? My only son is taking dope/ should I sit here like I'm pleased?" -"Billy Green is Dead" by Gil Scott Heron. Can you feel that?

This poem depicts the apathetic condition this society has nurtured in us. This lack of love for us as a people is what has to change before real nationhood will develop. We have to care for our own, we should not look for no one else to. There are no throw away people, but there are people you can't rescue. ONLY SELF IS SAVIOR! One only learns what one teaches self: Until the person is ready, until the person is receptive to what you advocate, NO AMOUNT OF WORDS WILL REACH THEM. REGARDLESS OF WHAT OR HOW YOU TEACH, THERE WILL BE NO PROGRESS. Experience is the best teacher. SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO GET THEIR MEAT (HEADS) LUMPED BEFORE THEY UNDERSTAND. I don't like self abuse, so I give these people ample space and I don't call. Help should be approached like addiction: you are either an enable-er or an assistant: either you are enabling them to continue with their madness or you are assisting them to do their work of clean up. Ultimately in all cases, they have to do the work. If you are doing all the work, you are an enable-er: you help facilitate their foolishness. Remember that. I don't disqualify anyone, they disqualify themselves by their ways and actions: they prove whether they are ready or not. IT'S DEEDS NOT WORDS--ALRIGHT?!

We know the truth through the knowledge in 120. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH. THE ONLY THING IS: THE MOST SOLID SUBSTANCE IS THE TRUTH, THE BEST SURFACE IS REALITY, AND KNOWLEDGE IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL THINGS IN EXISTENCE. We cannot live a pseudo-life trying to be cool with all fashions. We must advocate our own Society and Nation. We are who we are. Yes we angle the truth in a square of pure righteousness, to the direction in which a person is developing, we do not distort the truth. We are not going to fit in because we are righteous people in an unjust society that masquerades as civilized. But we must have composure and etiquette. We must not put ourselves under fire for things we know the mathematics to. We must live out our culture and the principles it represents and we can't treat people inferior. We must be the nobility we are and we can't go back to our lost ways... alright Kings and Queens?! Please use Wikipedia in looking up baby boom--cultural identity for a better understanding of culture identity.

One of our Righteous Brothers
By: Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz

We have been working on an build called, "Is There Such A Thing As Disposable People," which is really an addendum to "A Person Of That Said Ability" [from the perspective of the quote: "Me and my people who were lost from home for 379 years (456 years to date); (11/1-40)"] when we started thinking about the above topic: "One of Our Righteous Brothers" [a topic taken from Lesson 5 in the One to Fourteen]. For those who know One Hundred and Twenty Degrees, as well as those who are familiar with the lesson, the subject is Jesus; a person which is described within as being "One of our righteous brothers." The degree also speaks about Christianity, and since your power jewel is "justice" it speaks about your Knowledge Cipher Degree in the Student Enrollment as the wrong foods, as well as your Knowledge at a cipher degree within the Knowledge to Know (the) ledge of your culture, which addresses why we started murdering beings who were trying to learn and do like us. And since it is our Culture which defines the confines of our Freedom and Truth is place on this Square of pure righteousness, let's build about our culture. First of all, "One of Our Righteous Brothers," implies that our brother Jesus are righteous and all of us are possibly brothers. We say "possibly" because one can call a person a "brother" and not be one personally... right, sisters? Besides, "every brother ain't a brother"... can you dig it? We are speaking of "the said person of that ability"... It could possibly be you, but is it probably? When we speak of being civilized, we also imply righteous, because "the duty of a civilized person is to teach who is savage, civilization and righteousness" and how can you teach that which you personally don't know? How can you advocate and/or illustrate qualities that you yourself do not have (read Sura 2: Lip Profession)? And if you are a brother to Jesus, then you have the same parents: The Almighty and the Great Mother Earth, huh (was it not Jesus who said that I and the father are one)? You must have similar ideologies and outlooks on life now, since your were raised from the same family...

Now this may not sit too well with Christians, because they have build Jesus to an impossible height and placed themselves so lowly (the sting of trickery from the 10% preacher man). But we as Jesus, if we choose to be. It is said that we are children of God, so the bible states-- does it not? But Even so, those of us who stake this claim have to show and prove it to a not easily convinced audience, each and every day/ each and every way, right? We are not charlatans (one who falsely claim to have knowledge), we are said persons of that ability: We have these powers emanating from our being: We have acquired such powers by having a lifestyle that reflects the mathematics we speak... Now since we are talking about The Righteous, qualities of righteous-ness are now necessary to both define and illustrate: Any woman who is "worth her weight in gold," (a.k.a precious, valuable, noble or of high standing) realizes has to be able to recognize whether or not the said man is a righteous man, before she can place trust in him. Any righteous man who wants to start serious relationship that will lead to a family, recognizes that the said woman has to have qualities comparable to producing an enduring family...

What do we mean by saying this? Simply put, if a woman gets into the car with a man, she realizes she has to be wise enough to assess that this guy will take her where she wants to go and not just where he wants to take her. If not, she is potentially in danger. If she goes into his home alone, she has to assess that this will not force his will upon her. She has to do whatever is necessary to feel pretty sure of this, so she conducts experiments. If she does not want to compromise her virtue, she has to know that he will respect that. So a woman of virtue is taught how to detect such things. It should be part of her G.C.C. and/or M.G.T. She has to be able to detect when something is not right or suffer the consequences... in short, she must be wise.So in this case, a righteous man she is looking for is a man with morals, ethics, tact, poise, reason, and scruples. Morals in the sense of a proper mode of conduct; endowed with lessons from experience of knowing what is proper, right and wrong; manifested in good behavior. Conduct indicates how one behaves, one's management, discipline... how one leads. Ethics is the rules of right conduct. Tact is merely diplomacy; saying and doing the right thing at the right time. Poise is composure, stability, and balance. Reason means you are capable of rational thought; your judgment is fair and sound; you're sane and scruples just means that your conscious tends to restrict your actions. To further illustrate, a righteous woman has to know that when she gets in a car with you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, she has to be fairly sure that you wont get extreme and "try to nail her in the back seat" and claim she led you on and that she wanted it. She has to be able to detect well enough to trust that when she goes to your apartment, that nothing will "jump off" that she doesn't want, like "date rape." Many times the guy is physically stronger and women have many areas of vulnerabilities, so it is not a matter of choice, she must evolve and develop those qualities. She must develop the wisdom to know who is fair or not, otherwise she will be constantly "on the spot" for the ability she hasn't got. It is the same with a true nationalist. He knows that the oppression and afflictions he faces in the devil's civilization is because he has not cultivated replacements in his own society or that its members are not yet developed to the point where this is possible, so he has to make the best out of a bad situation. So when he teaches others, he recognizes that there is no mystery god, his scrutiny (careful inspection and close observation) will make all the difference in the world of how the social equality and cultural achievements will be. So you can see that righteousness leads to trust and reliability as well. Reliability just means that you can depend on a person to do the right thing or be there when you need it. Sure... Jesus teachings was not Christianity (5/1-14), but a high standard of virtue and virtuosity is indicated here, therefore those who say "they imitate Christ" are expecting a lot from a person who says that "He is Jesus' brother"...

Many times when my persons is with my righteous brothers (such as Saladin), we have discussions on correcting the oppressive conditions in which Black people find themselves subject to in America. Often, we discuss what is the best starting point economically, socially, politically, and metaphysically. On these topics my person often comments that since "knowledge is the foundation of all things in existence," the best starting point is in developing bonds in trust and reliance within each other; which means the members must be "built like that" (have the said qualities). since trust is literally the truth; it leads back to a virtuous man who is the "said person of that ability," possessing the qualities of righteousness. After all, how can a woman, who has the skills of general civilization, be involved in giving her all at home when the man is not righteous? How can a man go out and achieve, take lead in financing the dreams of two, when he cannot rely on his woman to be "down with the cause" and on "the same page?" "Social means to advocate a society of men (includes wo-men) or group of men for one common cause and Equality means to be equal in everything (8/1-14)."In other words, Why should a righteous man or woman stay with their partner, if he or she is not fair or is not really a partner? That is foolishness family... you are unevenly yoked.

We use a lot of words, technical words in society, yet we do not take the time to analyze what they technically mean. We are conditioned to say things but not take the time to make those concepts manifest. We often have generalities, but we do not have a grasp on the conceptual reality. For example, many say we are Allah, but all do not personally feel that we are Allah? Many of our people identify that they are with what I call "my persons" (a collection of associated experiences built into a character complex). Others think we are each Allah. If we were all Allah as separate persons, then there would be many Allahs. But that is not so, because Allah is One who peers through many faces. On Star Trek, The Next Generation, when they say, "We are Borg," they mean that all is One; a singularity expressing itself as an infinitude. so what must be meant is that what we are an entity that is much larger than our bodies; much larger than one person. We say that "Self is the true reality of all and self by itself does fall." Yet many of us take on the "Self-God thing" like it is something we own personally. None of our lessons indicate that God is equivalent to a single ego. In fact entertaining a single ego "edges out your godliness." If you are a said person, you know that your lessons speaks of us in the "we" sense. "Original Man" means "we" as a singularity," if it was a plurality the word would be "men." Civilization is group thing. It indicates the level of humanity: How much I learn from humanity, how humane we express ourselves and what contribution we make to society. "Righteous people" is also a group thing. "Original people" is the same type of indication; as well as "poor righteous teachers," "Nation of Islam," and "Gods" (as used in 38/1-40) or "so they have agreed" (34/1-40). "A" is a indefinite article placed before nouns indicating one, single, or singularity; but it is unspecified. You want "a hammer" but the type of hammer is not indicated. When you say, "Hand me the hammer," "the" indicates that it is a definite hammer that we both understand is there. It is the same with "A" as the symbol of Allah. The other attribute we use with the name "Allah" is more of a personal moniker or manifestation; a reoccurring theme in the life of the person. It describes something of a much more definite expression, but the fact remains-regardless- in essence, we are one, singular entity. Allah is the true Self and Self is the true reality of all, only the expressions change.

Often we deal with someone who has a great outer appearance, yet totally lack in people skills; relationship skills? Someone who may claims they are "the sole controller" yet can't control the soles on their shoes, much less their own soul... You have to have the qualities and materials necessary to build a home and use them... not just look the part. Hell, I look good too, but without money and knowledge on how to make and keep a home, we are just two "good-looking people" who are without a home and don't know a damn thing about making one or raising a family. Far too often, we spend too much time on physical assets and not enough time on the qualities or skills that a person comes into the arena with that could make a happy home or allow us to be successful in building one...

There must be trust before we can do trading. There must be trust before we can achieve anything great as a group. How many times have you saw a person sell a "hot" item to another person, then come back to the said house of the other person, when they are not there and steal back the same product? Where's the ethics? The love? The tact? The integrity? When we talk about business we want to know: "How good is their product?" Do they stand by their product? If they are market themselves, how good is their integrity as a human being and as a business owner? How civil are they? It is the same for NGE. If we are to change our position in this society, we must be able to rely on each other to perform at a certain level and or standard. we have to show and prove that excellence is what we are about. Not talking it, being it. Deeds not words...We would not have gotten these lessons from the father, it was not the blueprint for our personality, our culture, civilization, roots and prescribe laws.

Often we find ourselves wondering how someone can stake claim to be the person our degrees speak about, then behave in a manner adverse to the meaning of the mathematics we speak. Just know to be advocated for the same common cause means to have a similar thing in mind and to have the same thing in mind is to be on the same level of social equality: I cannot give a baby a knife and tell him to slice his persons a piece of bread because he is not mature enough to handle that said task. He might slice off a limb, because he is not aware of the complexities of using such a tool. He or she may be a "said person of that ability," but they are not qualified for the task at hand because they have not cultivated all the necessary skills to be right for the job. This is not discrimination, it is realization. I know "Allah in his own good time," but "don't drink and drive..." So being righteous requires refinement and a sense of improvement; a way of thinking and considering. This increases your awareness. As B.B. King once said, "I'd like to live the love that I sing about, in my songs" and Kool and the Gang said, "Love the Life you live and Live the Life you Love." Don't talk about it, be about it. I would find it hard to continue tutoring someone's enlightenment, if they stole from my home. They wouldn't be ready or qualified to get what I have to offer. My jewels are for righteous people. The level they are coming from would make it hard for them to appreciate what this Knowledge has to offer because their ways and actions are lacking in a very basic part of love: respect. None of us are squeaky clean, but you can't be trusted and that is a basic component of any relationship. As Smokey Robinson of the Miracles put it: "If you want, you can need; If you can need, you can care; If you can care, you can love..." And this person just demonstrated he does not "care" about me or what this stands for.

A Household is the basic unit of communities. Communities are a basic component of cities, towns, and counties. Cities and towns make up states and states are what make up a Nation. But things like love, honor and respect makes them all work their best. A divided house cannot stand. There must be a basic understanding and an appreciation for that perspective. To hell with "we just have a different understanding," come back when you have grown up. If we are A-alike, then there is only "thee understanding" or clear mental picture that we get when we combine the knowledge with the wisdom or the ways and actions one uses that reflect the truth, period. We cannot build a true Nation with all of its components (schools, houses of enlightenment, recreation, committees, businesses, scholarly and artistic endeavors, law enforcement, law-making bodies, security, armies, etc.), without love from the people who construct it, love for us as a people, confidence in the people who live within it, and growth and support from all phases. We cannot expect "her" to give it all "she's got," unless "she's" is convinced that "he" is right for her and what will reciprocate her giving. That's equality. "He or Her without knowledge of Self cannot "build," only "destroy" and take many other lives."Often folks come on board, not for appreciation, but to take advantage of what the community or group has to offer. They want you to "buy their books." They have nothing to give to this nation. They don't even talk nationalistic. They sing opera: "Me-me-me-me-me..." They are un-reliable, they are "so-lo" artists. Their flying often defies radar, but Allah puts blinders on them. It is as though they are "doing math" and trying to get credit for their "elegant formulas" They are looking for the "right way to do wrong." They want to take from our nation but they are not willing to give. President John F. Kennedy once said:"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

In life there are right and wrong paths. We may dwell on a road, just long enough to know where they are headed, then we must make a decision before we reach the point of no return. We don't get points for elegant formulas... only for figuring out the difficulties and coming up with the right solutions. These types say the things to get them in, but they cannot uphold the standard of the righteous. This is truly the course they're on:“Blessed is the man which WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL of the UNGODLY, nor STANDS in the way of SINNERS, nor SIT in the SEAT of the SCORNFUL. But his delight is in the LAW OF THE LORD. And in his law, does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a TREE PLANTED BY RIVERS of WATER, that BRINGS FORTH GOOD FRUIT in due SEASON. His LEAF also SHALL NOT WITHER and whatsoever HE DOES SHALL PROSPER. The UNGODLY are not SO, they are like the CHAFF (the husks of grain after threshing; symbolizing worthlessness) WHICH THE WIND DRIVES AWAY. Therefore the wicked shall not STAND in HIS judgment, NOR SINNERS in the CONGREGATION of The RIGHTEOUS. For the LORD Knows the way of the RIGHTEOUS. But the WAY of the UNGODLY SHALL PERISH” --King David speaks: Psalms One. Things cannot be more plain than this. Always, for said persons, "Positive Education Always Correct Errors."

P.E.A.C.E.!

"Don't tread on me!"

“They are the People who strayed away from Civilization and are now living a jungle life.” (7/1-14)

A Jungle (Sanskrit word jangala (जंगल) which referred to uncultivated land) is not only defined as “entangled growth”, b.u.t. in American Slang it’s considered “A Hobo Camp”; a place where Drifters or People without a Home squat until they move on to another location. This coincides with another definition of Jungle meaning “a ruthless struggle for survival”. Because Hobos live nomadically with no ‘Foundation’, their living situation is unstable, unreliable, and unpredictable. Drifting (hence the word ‘Drifter’) symbolizes their whimsical, survivalist mentality that’s reflected in their ability to move (drift) from place to place in search of basic essentials: food, clothing, and shelter. Ultimately, the reliance on whatever’s available makes this person completely vulnerable to a “Trading Post” (7/1-14), and “the interpretation made by a Trader.” (28/1-36). This not only speaks to a Socioeconomic Condition, b.u.t. it also speaks of being Culturally Disenfranchised; one of the key traits of the 85% because “they do not know their origin in this World and worship what they know not, who are easily led in the wrong direction and hard to be led in the right direction.” (14/1-40) When a person has ‘no origin’ (Foundation), they lack a perspective, direction, and a sense of orientation. In other words they really don’t know Which Way Is Up, and this is what makes them easily led: Led to say/do many questionable things, and often leading others in a direction that may have us wondering where they’re actually coming from.

Sometimes I come across various Writings, FB Postings, Videos, etc.. Online of People who consider themselves Gods/Earths and I find myself clicking away and scratching my head wondering, “Where did they get that from?” I ask myself this because the Philosophies, Ideas, Doctrines, and Procedures they’re advocating either aren’t in line with our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum or aren’t being ‘Shown & Proven’ to be in line with our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum. Those of you who are familiar with my Articles recognize that I always highlight in red the specific part of our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum that I’m referencing. The purpose of this is to make sure Citizens of my Nation know EXACTLY where I’m getting things from and how it actually corresponds to us as Gods/Earths, and our Interests as a Nation. For those of you who do not know or have forgotten what our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum actually is, it is as follows:

1. Supreme Mathematics
2. Supreme Alphabet
3. Student Enrollment (1-10)
4. 1-14’s
5. 1-36’s
6. 1-40’s
7. Actual Facts
8. Solar Facts
*The Twelve Jewels

As Gods/Earths, our 8-Point Curriculum is our ‘Foundation’, ‘Orientation’, and ‘Vantage Point’ of our Cultural Worldview. It’s always been customary/tradition that when a God/Earth says something that other Gods/Earths may not understand or are unsure of, that they take the time to ‘Show & Prove’ (elaborate on) how what they’re saying is in line with what we teach, and how it serves our Cultural Interests. Since we all adhere to the same 8-Point Cultural Curriculum across the board, this custom/tradition is used to insure that we remain “equal in everything” and “advocating for one common cause” (8/1-14); our Cultural Interests as a Nation. Without these Cultural ‘checks and balances’ there would be no National Integrity & Accountability for it’s Citizenship, and this would be Anarchy. If there are no “Rules & Regulations” (28/1-40), Ethical Standards, or Codes of Conduct in place to address our issues and offer a plan of recourse when problems arise, then it’s impossible to grow as a Person or establish/maintain unity as a People! Although we advocate this sense of Integrity & Accountability for us as a Group (Nation), it begins with the “Rules & Regulations” (Ethical Standards, or Codes of Conduct) we have for ourselves, for our Family Unit, and in our Communities. Not only does our 8-Point Curriculum represent our Cultural Agenda, b.u.t. it operates as a Corrective Action Plan to keep us together. So for so-called Gods/Earths to state/trivialize our 8-Point Curriculum as ‘no longer necessary’, ‘something we need to get beyond’, ‘archaic’, ‘not enough’, etc.., we must ask ourselves, “Where did they get that from?” I use the word “so-called” to define them because those statements show a clear disassociation and deviance from what we do as a Group. The irony in this is the fact that these same Individuals ask for our National Support, yet make Philosophical excuses when it comes to supporting our Nation’s Worldview… It’s no different than dudes I’ve met on the street that recognized my Universal Flag and they sparked up a conversation with me for the sole purpose of getting ‘power dollars’ for some crack. When I ask them about Lessons, who educated them, what they’re dealing with now, etc.., they’d have every excuse in the book why it’s ‘no longer necessary’, ‘something we need to get beyond’, ‘archaic’, ‘not enough’, etc.. How convenient huh?

Some of us look like we became a part of a Group (The NGE) just to springboard our Solo Careers! Some of us claim Civilization yet behave like we can say/do whatever we want and others better not question us about it! Some of us sound like we’re Gods/Earths on Monday, New Age on Tuesday, Spiritual Diviners on Wednesday, Street Disciples on Thursday, and so-called Negroes on the Weekends. Some of us want to be supported yet don’t want to support…

In conclusion, lets get back to the ‘Foundation’. If People are talking about following your Instincts/Intuition then demand that they ‘Show & Prove’ where in our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum that Philosophy is supported, and methods do we employ to use this. If the Original Man has evil inherent to his nature or natural murderous inclinations, then how do you explain the 37/1-40 which says, "he (Allah the Original Man) is just and he is true and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM"? If you think our Universal Flag symbolizes ‘Astrology’ or even if you want to make an abstraction to say it’s colors represent the Pittsburgh Steelers, then what in our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum supports that claim? If you can’t find it anywhere then Where/Who did you get it from and Why/How is it important and useful to us as a Group? We deserve a valid explanation and simply saying People just need to open their Minds is not enough! If People are going to open up their Minds to learn something they may have never been exposed to, or know little about, then lets have enough Integrity and Accountability to ‘Show & Prove’ to them how it coincides with and serves their Cultural Interests. People do deserve that level of respect don’t they -or is that sense of consideration something else that’s ‘no longer necessary’, ‘something we need to get beyond’, ‘archaic’, etc.. too? We can’t claim something we’re dealing with is “the science of everything in Life” (18/1-40) if we’re not bringing it back to our ‘Foundation’. And if we’re not bringing it back to the ‘Foundation’ (Home), then we are clearly out here STILL SEARCHING –oftentimes for that-that does not exist! (10/1-40) Obviously our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum wasn’t sufficient enough to be committed to… Obviously being a Nation of Gods/Earths wasn’t compelling enough to fully represent… It’s like we strayed away from Civilization (“where knowledge and wisdom of the Original Man started when our -Nation- was first founded” 4/1-14) and are now living a jungle life…

This in no way is meant to discourage us from studying various things. This is meant to encourage us to continue studying with our Cultural Interests at Heart and in Mind. Because once you start “dealing with something else” then YOU ARE something else.

Peace!

Transactional Analysis

Part 3

Because many of us -Gods/Earths-, CAME INTO Knowledge of Self (KOS), there is a lot of data we naturally reject(ed) from our Caretakers. Sometimes Gods/Earths reject almost everything and therefore ‘block out’ their Parent and begin to culturally express themselves as a Child without a conscience. These are Gods/Earths who carry Mathematics in a very immature, delusional, and irresponsible way. You also have Gods/Earths who learned this Culture, b.u.t. still remain heavily influenced by their Parent and Society as their Caretaker. These Gods/Earths carry Mathematics in an overly zealous, rote, and religiously prejudiced way. As I stated in Part 1 of this series, in the positive sense: The Parent perspective brings order, stability, and tradition to our Culture; The Adult perspective brings responsibility, discernment, and options; and The Child perspective brings creativity, flexibility, and growth. In order to access these positive characteristics, a God/Earth must be in an Adult Position of ‘responsibility’ to ‘discern’ these ‘options’. In order for a God/Earth to effectively “build or destroy”, “add-on to the cipher”, or “draw this Math up”, our Adult must serve as the cognitive, psychological, and emotional filter for our Parent and Child data.

Transactional Analysis in our Culture
Our ability/inability to form lasting attachments/bonds with ourselves, others, and the Planet is a direct result of how O.K. we are with ourselves as Gods/Earths. How O.K. we are with ourselves depends upon how we cee ourselves, and how we cee ourselves is determined by how we interpret what has happened to us prior to getting KOS, AND what is happening to us now that we have KOS. How O.K. we are with ourselves is what ultimately determines how we interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum, and any other information that teaches us about our role in this Nation and our attitude towards other Nations. Being O.K. means that we’re not making the next God pay because our last three boyfriends cheated on us. Being O.K. means that we no longer harbor hatred for our Parent(s) because we understand they were “made other than themselves” (12/1-36). Being O.K. means that as an Adult with KOS, we’re equipped to interpret our experiences, and “preserve the best part for ourselves” (1/1-14). Being O.K. also means that we “don’t build prison houses” for our social conditionings, and we have a choice to change our Psychological Position in Life in order to “be successful in all our undertakings”! (29/1-40) This takes guidance and work; and our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum functions as a GPS System programmed with ethical, moral, and virtuous coordinates to “lead us in the right direction”, not “easily lead us in the wrong direction.” (14/1-40)

One of the first questions a person is asked upon claiming any type of allegiance to our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum is: WHO IS YOUR ENLIGHTENER? In The NGE, the Student/Enlightener Relationship is the fundamental Dynamic that allows our Culture to be transmitted/received from one person to the next. W.D. Fard spent 3 ½ years walking, talking, and growing with The Honorable Elijah Muhammad in order for them to birth The NOI. Allah, who was/is affectionately called “The Father” of The NGE, along with his close Companions, established relationships with some of the youth in the streets of Harlem. These bonds they established with the youth and the Community became the basis of how our Nation grew, and how we continue to grow. It was some of the only stroking/reassurance these youth received to let them know that they’re O.K., and these relationships served to redirect many of them from a life of crime to a life of being upstanding Citizens –within our Society and to American Society. The Father and his Companions also let them know when they were NOT O.K. too, and gave them advice on what they needed to do to get it right when they had the answers. This fundamental bond or relationship between an Enlightener/Student still remains a Tradition amongst our Nation, and when a person desires to learn about our Culture they learn it directly from somebody who personally guides them. This Tradition also serves to help maintain the integrity of our Lineage, passed on from Enlightener to Enlightener, all the way back to “The Father” and his Companions who started this Nation in 1964, and to W.D. Fard and The Honorable Elijah Muhammad who are the contemporary ‘morning stars’ of our Movement. There are many People who didn’t follow this Tradition and erroneously got our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum without a Student/Enlightener Relationship. They either got it over the phone, in the postage mail, through email, off a Website, from a Book, someone just handed them a copy, etc.. Because all of these methods lack the basic stroking/reassurance that comes with a Student/Enlightener Relationship, many of them develop(ed) a misunderstanding and distorted idea/attitude about this Culture; a fragmented concept about what it means to be a God/Earth, and this lacking will be reflected in the first three Life Positions:

1. I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K. (I’m not as much a God/Earth as you)
2. I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. (Gods/Earths are only human, we’re not perfect or holy)
3. I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. (I’m THE God/Earth, you’re not)

The same way it’s important to get an adequate amount of stroking/reassurance that we are O.K. via the coddling, intimacy, and love of our Mother/Caretaker(s), it’s important for a Student (Newborn) to get an adequate amount of stroking/reassurance that we are learning O.K. via the brotherhood/sisterhood, consistency, and love of our Enlightener. The seminal ‘unit’ of our Nation is the ‘Family’, and educating someone is for the purpose of reconciling and rebuilding the structure of our Family Units. Families establish Communities, Communities establish City States, and City States establish Nations. So within The NGE, the Student/Enlightener Relationship uses educational stroking/reassurance ‘transactions’ (‘transactional stimulus’ and ‘transactional responses’) to restore our Life Position of I’m O.K. and you’re O.K. (We’re O.K.). Once a Student (Newborn) completes our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum O.K., they are charged with the full responsibility of Enlightening others who’re striving to learn. I also must mention that sometimes a person had the adequate amount of stroking/reassurance from an Enlightener, b.u.t. because they never reconciled issues they brought with them into this Culture, they still ended up occupying one of the first three Life Positions. This unfortunate theme is illustrated in the tale of Anakin Skywalker (AKA: Darth Vader).

Our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum as ‘transactions’
The Structure of 120 Lessons, which is Questions, Answers, and Statements are in the form of transactional units: QUESTION (‘transactional stimulus’) “Why does the Devil teach that?” 12/1-40, ANSWER (‘transactional response’) “Because he desires to make slaves out of all that he can, so he can rob them and live in luxury.” 12/1-40, and a STATEMENT (‘transactional stimulus’ or ‘transactional response’) “Approximately 60 years ago” 36/1-36. The Lessons themselves illustrate multiple transactions between Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How we define God and Devil. These transactions highlight the variance between Righteous and Wicked, Divine and Destroy, Civilized and Uncivilized. For example, the 4/1-14 teaches us about the ‘transactional stimulus’ from the Devil in the Holy City of Mecca: “…they started causing trouble amongst the Righteous People, accusing the Righteous People of telling lies, and causing them to fight and kill one another.” We also learn about the ‘transactional response’ of the Righteous People: “…we ran the Devil from the root of Civilization, over the hot Arabian Desert, and into the caves of West Asia as they now call it Europe. ….We took everything from them but their language and made them walk every step of the way.” Sometimes one of our Lessons is a Statement that we must identify as either a ‘transactional stimulus’ or ‘transactional response’ such as the 7th/Actual Fact: “Mount Everest is 29,141 feet high.” An example of using “Mount Everest is 29,141 feet high” as a ‘transactional stimulus’ is when we initiate a conversation and elaborating on the tremendous growth/elevation we or someone has experienced. An example of using “Mount Everest is 29,141 feet high” as a ‘transactional response’ is when we elaborate about a challenging task/situation we’re confronted with that appears almost insurmountable.

Not only do we adhere to these transactional units, b.u.t. we also express these basic transactions from a Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) Ego State. As Dr. Berne and I also suggest, in any Cipher (social “transaction”), you can always discern who you are as a God/Earth (Parent, Adult, or Child?) and the God/Earth (Parent, Adult, or Child?) you’re communicating with. Here’s an example to illustrate the following “transactions” between Gods/Earths. Keep in Mind that these transactions reflect Parent, Child, or Adult (PAC) exchanges of Gods/Earths who have Knowledge of Self (KOS):

Parent (God): That’s now cipher! A God can only teach you 120!
Child (Earth): Alright God.

Adult (Earth): How do you cee Today’s Degree?
Adult (God): Build or Destroy; What makes rain, hail, snow, or earthquakes? The Earth is approximately covered…

Child (God): I had Knowledge for 30 years.
Child (God): I walked with First Born Al Jamel.

Parent (Earth): Gods need to quit being so militant with the Earths.
Parent (Earth): I know. They can’t expect us to learn 120 like them.

Child (Earth): He bombed me about watching The God on Youtube.
Adult (God): What was the God building about?

Parent (Earth): The Gods oppress their Earths.
Adult (God): Not all Gods. There are many God/Earth Couples who’ve been happily together, highly respected, and actively involved in this Nation for more than 20 years.

Based upon the above examples, you can cee where so-called Building between Gods/Earths does nothing but Destroy, how so-called Building will be stagnant and never go beyond a certain cipher, and how real Building can be something that’s actually positive and progressive. So-called Building that does nothing but Destroy can be defined as ‘crossed transactions’ because Gods/Earths are coming from two different places. An Earth may be striving to have an Adult Build and with a God b.u.t. we may be responding like a Child, or drawing up his Lessons in a childish way. A God might be Building about something with a critical eye of Parent, and instead of simply agreeing with them, another God/Earth may simply make Adult inquiries. As long as the Builds are complementary (Adult-Adult, Child-Child, Parent-Parent), then this social equality can go on indefinitely. Complementary Builds or social equality ARE NOT only defined as Adult-Adult, Child-Child, and Parent-Parent either. Sometimes a complementary Build can be considered Parent-Child: which is oftentimes the Dynamic between an Older God/Earth (Parent) and a Younger God/Earth (Child). Because of our respect of Eldership, this Dynamic expresses itself as the Younger God/Earth (Child) asking QUESTIONS (‘transactional stimulus’), and the Older God/Earth (Parent) supplying them and/or offering them guidance of where to acquire the ANSWERS (‘transactional responses’).

Even with the Language of The NGE, Gods/Earths will also reflect Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) Ego States based upon how they “draw-up” or interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum (Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabet, 1-10’s, 1-14’s, 1-36’s, 1-40’s, Actual Facts, Solar Facts, and *12 Jewels). Here’s an example to illustrate how Gods/Earths “draw-up” or interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum from Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) Ego States:

Parent: The God was slippin on the Born Degree in the 1-40’s so I bombed him.

Adult: That’s Peace Lord. Growth is about “Allah in his own good time” (39/1-40)

Child: “I don’t care about the poor part” (3/1-14)! 120 is mine personally, and that’s “the Best Part I preserve for myself”! (1/1-14)

Parent: If they ain’t Building, I’m not loosing “…no more time searching for that-that does not exist…” (10/1-40)

Adult: “…we gave them this chance…” (9/1-14) to do what’s necessary, so it’s all on them.

Child: Our Flag “is the greatest and only known Flag in this Universe”! (9/1-14) so I ain’t trying to learn about nobody else’s Flag.

Parent: “The Civilized is held responsible for the uncivilized” (19/1-40) so I’ve been building with them.

Adult: We gotta be like the Doctor who “qualified or disqualified.” (28/1-40) after examining People to cee if they’re fair enough to deal with “social equality” (8/1-14)

Child: The 33/1-40 says “Any live grafted germ from Original is Devil”, and Woman is grafted from Man. 3 + 3 borns equality (6) and that’s the science why she has six ounces of brain and can’t rise about equality. That’s why I don’t teach my Earth 120!

Parent: The Gods need to come together for “one common cause” (8/1-14) and quit all this childish arguing.

Adult: You gotta ask yourself, “Are they ‘healthy, strong, and good’?” (28/1-40) Are they “a said person of that ability”? (20/1-40)

Child: The Father had self-styled wisdom! So you got your own understanding and I got mine! If I hustle and you helping kids, that’s how I cee this Math, and that’s how you cee it! That’s the Freedom of this Culture and beauty of being “the Original Man(Woman)”. (1/1-10)

In conclusion, I want to thank the God ‘Life’ for putting me on to this Science! Exploring Transactional Analysis, like other Sciences of Life, can help shed some light on the ways Gods/Earths approach and assess ourselves, our personal/collective growth & development, and how we “draw-up” or interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum. As I stated, Knowledge of Self (KOS) is a process used to help us say/be “O.K.”. The dysfunctional behavior that’s expressed by our People, especially within The NGE, demonstrates that many of us are still NOT O.K.. We’re NOT O.K. because there are clearly unresolved issues we’re dealing with, and until we honestly take a look within, these issues are “allowed to live and sting somebody else” (10/1-14). These issues are the direct result of trans-generational, immediate Family, and personal socialization we’ve BROUGHT WITH US into this Nation. Some of this data coincides with our Cultural Worldview, and some of it doesn’t. Knowing the difference and preserving the best part for ourselves is an aspect of “the duty of a Civilized Person” (18/1-40), what it means to be “a said person of that ability” (20/1-40), and is an investment in “taking the Devil off our Planet” (34/1-40). This of course is a never-ending inner journey and has a great deal to do with our Ego States: Do we recognize when we’re using our Cultural Curriculum as a Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC)? This is a courageous journey that begins with our willingness to look within and take responsibility for how we’ve chosen to deal with things in our Life. We must ask ourselves the question, “What are we going to do to maintain or change those things that will benefit ourselves, our Family, and our Nation?”, and be committed to “give all we have and all within our power to see this day” (40/1-40). It’s a Mission to change our Past by not allowing negative conditions to live in the Present, and dictate our Future! This journey begins with one step and each step is a day invested in our positive growth & development. Days becomes weeks, weeks become months, months become years, and these years become a lifetime!

Peace!
