Caucasian Five Percenters

"Not only should they learn that our Nation (The NGE) is “Not Pro-Black or Anti-White” b.u.t. as a Caucasian, they first need to learn “I am Not Pro-White or Anti-Black”."

On June 26th, 2010 I wrote an Article entitled 'Knowledge of Self Series' that contained a section elaborating on The NGE not being "Pro-Black or Anti-White". What I didn’t elaborate on is the specific Role that Caucasians play within The NGE who do embrace our Cultural Worldview.

One of things that inspired me to write this Article is because of the Mainstream Appeal our Nation has gained over the years via Community Organizing, HipHop and Online Exposure. 40 plus years ago People generally had no idea who The Five Percenters (The NGE) were outside of the 4 Boroughs in NYC. Nowadays People in the Netherlands, Australia, China, Poland, South Africa, Pakistan, Texas, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Chicago and many other places around the World contact me and various other Gods/Earths I know about learning our Way of Life. Although many of these People are Black (Non-White) there are also many Caucasians who reach out as well. So instead of addressing these segments of the Population individually I wanted to provide this information to answer some of their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Another thing that inspired me is the fact that there are some Caucasians who know or are studying our Cultural Curriculum and I wanted to give them more insight into their specific Role as Civilized People. I also wanted to clarify this to other Gods/Earths who may be unclear about the specific Role of Caucasian Five Percenters in our Nation.

120 Lessons, the core of our Cultural Curriculum, consists of People, Places and Things that inform Original (Black) People about our primary Identity, Role and Place in the Universe and on the Map of Human Geography. When a Caucasian is introduced to this Cultural Curriculum they discover from the very beginning that they are not primary (Original) and have a different Identity, a different Role and inhabit different Places upon this Map of Human Geography. Since God and the Earth existed long before Caucasians were born, the fundamental question that arises is, “Since they can’t be God or the Earth, what Status do Caucasians have and Purpose do they serve within the context of our Nation?”

The Caucasus Mountains

Knowledge of Self (KOS)I know many Gods and Earths who’s Ancestors come from different places throughout the Planet Earth. Some come from India, China, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad, Ghana, Mexico, Ethiopia, 6 Nations (or other Indigenous Lands) and various places throughout North America like Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, Windsor, Florida, Indianapolis, Chicago, Alabama, Seattle, Toronto and etc… Because they come from different places and have different experiences, they all bring a unique Perspective, Lineage and Story about our Original People from these places throughout the Earth. If I want more insight into the History of our Original People in the Dominican Republic all I need to do is reach out to a God/Earth who’s direct Ancestry comes from this location; they can tell me any and everything I need to know. If I need to do more research on any of these Countries, States or Cities, I look no further than my Brothers/Sisters who are native to that Geographic Location; they usually know or have direct access to the language, idioms, customs, climate, social norms, demographics and anything else about this place their Family is originally from. In otherwords, this is ‘Knowledge of Self’ (KOS) that puts our Cultural Curriculum in the proper context. When I was out in Seattle doing a Speaking Engagement/Book Signing with Supreme Understanding (of Supreme Design Publishing), he spoke on the importance of having this sense of Knowledge of Self and how we each approach this Cultural Curriculum from the vantage point of the Ethnic Identity, Socioeconomics and Geographic Location we and our Family came from. You can view it here: A.S.I.A. TV

This idea of KOS is not new and has always been the Standard and a National Consensus amongst us since the earliest years of the Nation. When The Father and his Companions began teaching in NYC there were so-called Latin American Brothers/Sisters who naturally identified with this Cultural Worldview and often faced criticism/rejection by those of us who didn’t cee our Spanish Speaking Original People as Black also. Many of these criticisms/rejections were put to rest when these Spanish Speaking Original People began to educate themselves and those Critics about the History of our People in places like Puerto Rico, Cuba and etc… Thus we all began to better understand another unique Perspective, Lineage and Story of our (Original) People that was already identified within our Lessons. As this Culture spread beyond the 4 Boroughs, other Original People from different places began to add on and also include their unique chapter in the History or Koran of our Nation. While Caucasians are also identified within our Lessons, the same Standard and National Consensus is expected of those of them who unnaturally identify with our Cultural Worldview and desire to gain KOS. So the questions they must ask/answer for themselves are, “What unique Perspective, Lineage and Story do I (a Caucasian) have in relationship to Original People?” and “What am I doing as a Caucasian to put the criticisms/rejections to rest that the majority of the People on the Planet Earth and the Earth itself have about my Group of People?”

Azrael, a Caucasian whom The Father taught, established the first prototypical model of how Caucasians were educated and allowed to minimally function within the context of our National Body. Azrael will tell you in a minute that the Name he was given means “Death Angel” (Angel of Death), he symbolically holds the keys to Heaven and Hell and his job is to help show us (Original People and other Caucasians) how to survive the traps of this Devilish World his People were allowed to make. He also understands the Position/Status he was given to primarily educate his own People to the truth about who they are, who we are and what his People need to do in order to help establish/secure a World of Peace where they can co-exist with us as one Human Family. I can respect that and have personally referred Caucasians to him. Unlike Azrael, I’ve noticed that “95%” (14,15/1-40) of the other Caucasians I cee who’re interested in studying or who do study our Cultural Curriculum are usually unclear about what they’re supposed to be doing. Many of them haven’t even realized or been taught that they’re supposed to be sharing their unique Perspective, Lineage and Story as a Caucasian and how this ultimately defines/impacts their Role/Purpose within our Nation. Instead of acknowledging and elaborating on their actual Historical Identity, Role and Place within 120 Lessons like a God/Earth with Native American, Indian, Iranian or etc. Ancestry does, they’ll identify themselves Generically and Non-Politically. In other words, they’ll talk about everything b.u.t. their actual Identity, Role and Place within our Lessons. Instead they'll share abstract scientific theories and Philosophize about who/what things symbolically mean. If they do "put a face on" something they'll usually engage in conversations with us (Original People) trying to tell us (Original People) about ourselves and how we cee things. An example of this is if they're asked about "Who wrote the Holy Koran or Bible? How long ago and why does Islam renew it's History every 25,000 years?" they'll attempt to tell us about ourselves; The Black Man and Woman of Asia, not what this means to them, their Woman, People and how they're consequently on our time. Although it's important for them to know who/what we are, it's most important for them to recognize who they are and have historically been to us and their own People. That is their primary point of view. I’ve rarely heard them directly talking about how they cee “our” Lessons in relationship to themselves, their People, their History and their relationship to my People. I rarely hear these Caucasians explaining their Identity as a Grafted Man, why Musa had such a hard time civilizing them, how it effects them to be genetically weak boned/weak blooded, at what points in history their People’s Identity/Behavior codifies Devilishment and what are some of the psychological, social and cultural challenges that come along with the inability to be God or the Earth. I’m sure thoughts/feelings like these and many others arise in Caucasians because there is no other way to view our Lessons than from their own perspective and experience. So for a Caucasian to not engage/participate in these important discussions by sharing their perspective and experiences it says 1.) They’re not being properly Educated or 2.) They’re not really striving to be Educated and want to come amongst us for other reasons. Regardless what the reason is, whenever someone isn’t actively engaged, participating or involved they’re not receiving the necessary Training to effectively perform their Duty. In our case, we call that Duty "Civilization" and our stance "Righteousness". It also must be understood that historically speaking, a Caucasian’s inability to effectively perform a Duty as noble as Civilization and Righteousness has always translated into the worse fate for any Original People, their own People and the Environment that's in proximity to them. Among various other Lessons we learn, our 1st, 4th, 9th and 10th Degrees in 1/1-14 and 34th & 38th Degrees in the 1-40 provide structural models and plans of recourse to specifically address issues like this.

Because of the unsavory relationship Caucasians (as a Group) have historically had towards Original People, other Caucasians and the Planet Earth itself, their journey towards becoming Civilized and Righteous requires Teaching and Training Units specific to them. In order to be Civilized and Righteous, there are many things, tangible (objects/possessions) and intangible (ideas/allegiances), they must relinquish and denounce that does not coincide with Civilization and Righteousness. Since, according to our 8th Degree in the 1-14, they (Caucasians) kept/keep our People (Original People) apart from their own Social Equality, there are many Institutional, Educational, Psychological, Socioeconomic, Labor, Legal and Military opportunities Caucasians must be committed to sharing with us wheh they coincide with our Culture. If Caucasians think being a Five Percenter means to come around us, learn how we talk and then talk it back to us so they can be accepted they have it wrong! They’re not Honorary Gods and Earths… They are exactly who our Lessons and History says they are and they came to us to “learn to do like the Original Man/Woman” (9/1-14) because they want to clean up their People’s global image. If we (Original People) think that teaching Caucasians means training them to parrot our Lessons and simply explain who we are as God and the Earth we have it wrong too! Some of us may sit back and feel accomplished to be able to say, “Here’s a Caucasian who acknowledges that the Black Man is God and the Black Woman is the Earth!” yet it says nothing about who they are, what their thoughts/feelings are in regard to their own Identity/History and what type of behavior this actually translates into. Our Lessons (17,18/1-36) clearly teach us that in the early 1930’s there were approximately 3 Million Caucasians who also acknowledged who we were yet their thoughts/feelings about who they were in relationship to us (Original People) still translated into uncivilized/unrighteous behavior; Segregation (8/1-14) was going on, Jim Crow Etiquette was expected, the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) had over 2.5 Million card carrying Members and Anti-Lynching Legislation was debated/unenforced. We also must consider the fact that many Agent Provocateurs (4/1-14) were able to successfully infiltrate, undermine and sabotage the Objectives/Goals of our Organizations and colonize our Lands because we simply allowed them to come amongst us without a thorough investigation and requiring them to announce themselves through sharing their Perspective, Lineage and Story. This is not to say nor assume that this is every Caucasian’s or even an Original Person’s intention. This is to say that anytime we've taken this ass-umptive posture, especially with those who are clearly unalike, it’s always been a recipe for disaster.

In closing, “We are Not Pro-Black or Anti-White” is not a statement that means we’re a bunch of Humanists saying “Can we all just get along?” This declaration does not mean we’re trying to Assimilate into the Dominant Society/Culture, we don’t want to offend White People and we’re striving to distance ourselves from so-called ‘Black Militants’. This statement means that our allegiance is to the Truth, wherever it may exist, and we’re required to do what’s most Civilized and Righteous in accordance to the Truth “regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14). This is my position and posture as an Original Man and this stance requires me to interface with a Western (Caucasian) Society that historically opposed and still opposes this view. A Caucasian is someone who represents this Western Society; Genotypically and Phenotypically. Therefore, their allegiance to the Truth, wherever it may exist, and what they’re required to do that’s most Civilized and Righteous takes on a different meaning. Not only should they learn that our Nation is “Not Pro-Black or Anti-White” b.u.t. as a Caucasian, they first need to learn “I am Not Pro-White or Anti-Black”. Just because a Caucasian can recite or even write RZA like Lyrics like his verse on the Gravediggaz “The Night The Earth Cried” it doesn’t mean they’re not Pro-White; they could be still be gettin’ money working for their Family Business that has historically discriminated against Original People. Just because a Caucasian Man has a Black Girlfriend or bi-racial child doesn’t mean he’s not Anti-Black; he could be f*cking her and still saying f*ck her Family and Original People as a whole. The beauty in our Cultural Worldview is that our Lessons clearly exposes someone’s position and posture be it ‘Pro’ or ‘Anti’ anything that doesn’t coincide with the Truth. When it comes to Caucasians, if they’re not learning to analyze and articulate their historical Identity, Role and Place as a Caucasian in this World, then what Purpose can they possibly serve to us (Original People)? If some of you have/are teaching them our Lessons, Mathematics, Alphabets and etc. yet they aren’t consistently demonstrating in their daily people activities (amongst their own People) or actively taking stances to Show & Prove that they are not Pro-White or Anti-Black then they’re not performing the Duty of a Civilized/Righteous Person; they’re upholding the uncivilized/unrighteous Status Quo of their Ancestors. Are they here to just sit around the Fathers and Mothers of Civilization and agree with us about who we say we are? Are we nothing more than a Cultural Confession Box so Caucasians can come around and confess their and their Ancestors sins against God and the Earth? Like Azrael, do they have a specific job amongst their own People and what does their job specifically entail? I remember I went to a Rally in Bethlehem (Buffalo, NY) one time and this Caucasian female who called herself an ‘Earth’ came out and wanted to learn more about our Culture. Apparently some Original Man was teaching her who got some Lessons from a God who hadn’t ceen him in years. When I asked her about her Ancestry she said she was ‘Irish’ and I began asking her some questions about her People’s History and their History in relationship to Original People. She couldn’t tell me anything about this or her status as a Caucasian in Western Society yet she knew some of the Supreme Mathematics, things about our Nation and how to use some of our phrases… I shared alittle History about Ireland, the Irish and Caucasians as a Group and then informed her to do more research on her People so she can begin to better understand how she’s been taught to cee the World and consequently the Fathers and Mothers of Civilization. That was the last time I ceen/heard anything from her. She’s probably still out there along with many other Caucasians and Original People who continue to be uneducated and miseducated about ‘What We Teach’ and ‘What We Will Achieve’ as a Nation of Gods and Earths. The only way to change this reality is for us to continue our Tradition of requiring People to Show & Prove who and what they are, not just in word b.u.t. in deed through what they “continue daily” to do.

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!

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.

Peace,
Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz

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…

Peace,
Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz
