My KOS Anthology

Peace Ya’ll! Today I wanted to build about the idea of “bringing something to the table”, and share with you “some” of the skill sets I learned through my Ole Earth (Mother) prior to me learning about The Father. This is not to dismiss my Ole Dad (Father) and the significant role he has played in helping me develop -I will focus on him in another Article, b.u.t. today I’m going to build about my Ole Earth and part of her contribution to my Civilization.

“THIS is the White Man’s Bible” my Ole Earth once said to me as she sat at the kitchen counter studying for a College Exam. I was a pre-teen at the time, sitting at the kitchen table working on an essay for English Class. The “THIS” my Ole Earth was referring to was her Psychology Book she was holding up as she slowly removed her reading glasses to make a final point, “You better learn all you can about THIS!” This experience was my “formal” Introduction into Psychology and a reference point along my Anthological path of Knowledge of Self (KOS).

We’re often told that as boys, the template in how we assess/interact with a female is learned from our Ole Earth. Well, my Ole Earth was a Trained Psychologist who earned her Degree (Major in Psychology/Minor Sociology) at Niagara University in 3 years, in her 40’s with 6 children. She was very, very swift; as a Woman, a Mother and as a Psychologist. I often tell people, “A Woman with Psychology is like a Lamborghini with Nitro!” LOL Anyway, although I in no way consider myself the foremost authority on the subjects of Psychology & Sociology, I have definitely learned some skill sets from my Ole Earth that has equipped me with a unique insight into myself, others and ultimately how I view 120. Because of this, I grew up in a household where Psychological/Sociological Terms, Lingo and Procedures were formally/informally used in the same way that other households may have been orientated around Religious, Sports or Entertainment Nomenclature. My Ole Dad was more orientated around Black/Native American Nationalism, and this is another important part of my upbringing I will get into in another Article.

Anyway, at the age of 11 I’d watch my Ole Earth talking to my Ole Dad about his use of ‘Transference’. I’d cee her Psychoanalyze a person as dealin with ‘Self Mutilation’, ‘Obsessive Compulsion’, etc… and these were normal conversations in my household. Before I was 13, me and my Brothers loved looking through her Medical Books and DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses). Of course we didn’t understand alot of the shit in those books b.u.t. the point is, we had access to it. In Elementary School I was able to describe Microcerphallic, Macrocerphallic, Elephantitus, Anorexia Nervosas, etc... like I knew the attributes of He-Man Characters. My Ole Earth used to get me and my siblings together -who were closest in age- and take us to a public place just so we could sit there and “People Watch” -as she called it. I’m saying all of this to not only give ya’ll a better insight into where I’m coming from, b.u.t. to emphasize the role The Mother -mine in particular- plays in laying the psychological foundation and social framework of grasping The Father. The Mother is indeed our first Teacher, even if we believe she taught us nothing!

Psychology is the science of the Mind and Behavior in the Individual. Sociology is the science of the Mind and Behavior of a Group. Because these terms -not the actual methods- were coined by Caucasian’s, it’s important to realize that their own Psychology or Sociology shaped the definitions, terms and classifications we learn about in Psychology and Sociology. This must always be taken into consideration! Therefore, it’s important to fully realize that although those people who classify themselves as ‘White’ represent the deepest levels of psychosis & pathology, they utilize themselves as standards of normalcy in the fields of Psychology and Sociology! So in other words, when you study Psychology you can’t just take on face value what you’re learning without critically analyzing the Psychology and Sociology of the Psychologist or Sociologist. Some of the views of a certain Psychologist may be strictly from a male’s perspective without any regard for a female’s mentality! A person must be able to cee this! I’ve read a Sociologist give a sociological analysis of HipHop Culture yet be completely ignorant to the influential role The Nation of Gods and Earths played in HipHop’s inception. A person must be able to cee this too! It’s also important to realize that Psychology and Sociology as a science did not originate with Caucasians, only the actual terms and certain concepts and methods did! Through the study of various Classical Civilizations and Indigenous Cultures you’ll find Psychological and Sociological Systems/Processes before there was even a concept of a Caucasian or before a Caucasian came amongst Non-White People.

A People’s Psychology and Sociology is born out of their Mythology, Folklore and Legends. It is through these Psychodramatic Tales that a people are introduced to modes of thought, behavior, interrelationships as a group and their relationship to the environment. For example; Constant themes you cee throughout Greek Mythology is the preoccupation with Time, War, Procreation and the Objectification of Women. This gives you a lot of insight into the Psychological and Sociological framework of Western Society. By studying the Mythology, Folklore and Legends of a People you’ll discover “other rules and regulations that are unmentioned…” in their Society (28/1-40).

People contact me all the time asking about 120 Lessons. Some people ask me about historical things, others ask me about what something means b.u.t. everyone wonders how do they use it! First and foremost, it’s important to understand that 120 is a Psychodramatic Manual. A Psychodrama is a story that uses conflicting forces within persons, places, things and events to bring awareness to a certain psychology. A Psychodrama allows a person to read into common or uncommon themes that reflect, effect or are disassociated from their own mentality. It’s a Tale designed to shed light on one’s own inner triumphs or tribulations. When ceen from this perspective, studying the science of the 27/1-40: “What is the name place where the Devil was manufactured?” is less about a fact finding mission to unearth the skeletal remains of big headed Scientist and a Frankenstein-like Laboratory buried on Pelon and more about one’s inner journey into the Psychology and Socioeconomic manifestation of evil (Devil)! I AM NOT MINIMIZING THE FACT that we must always invest the time to research our Lessons from a His/Herstorical Perspective, b.u.t. if a person can only talk about Musa as some historical figure buried in the past and not cee Musa as a contemporary theme functioning within their own -or other’s- Psychology or in a Sociological framework, then learning about Musa as just some historical figure is completely useless! Like Musa, all of the Characters we’re introduced to, Places we travel and Objects we cee throughout 120 highlight various Psychological/Sociological Themes (Lessons) throughout life. The fundamental forces that define this Drama are between the dynamic opposites of God (Righteousness) & Devil (Wickedness). In other words, 120 is a System of Lessons about our Mentality, how our Mentality shapes/modes our Behavior and the Societal/Environmental effects of our Mentality and Behavior. As stated, the forces within this Psychodrama are God (Righteousness) & Devil (Wickedness), and the Lessons simply express the interplay between these dynamic opposites and/or the psychological ‘Stages’ (geography & dimensions) where this Drama takes place. For example: Musa’s plight in the 2/1-14 tells you about the interplay between these conflicting forces on a ‘Stage’ called West Asia -as they now call it Europe. The 22/1-40 tells you about the interplay between these conflicting forces within Yacub’s ‘play’ at the age of 6, on a ‘Stage’ 20 miles outside of Mecca. KEEP IN MIND that these “Lessons” give you insight into the interplay between these conflicting forces WITHIN US in various ‘Stages’ of life! This is the deeper science to why we Re-cite our Lessons! -smile-

In saying all of this about 120, I can’t neglect to mention that it’s imperative that a person take the time to critically analyze the Psychology and Sociology of those who consolidated these Lessons and put them in book form; Master Fard & The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. For those who are within The NGE, it’s also important to critically analyze the Psychology and Sociology of The Father (and his Companions) who packaged these Lessons for the Youth! The fact that Master Fard was a Half-Original (AKA: Mixed) Immigrant, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was a Freemason and The Father was in Harlem in the 1960’s are just a few basic examples of what must be taken into consideration when researching the Psychological/Sociological “context” of 120. The fact that The Lessons were compiled in the Lower Lakes Region during the Era of the Great Depression (the 1930’s) says something within itself about their socioeconomic construct and psychological “context”! Without analyzing the Psychological/Sociological Backdrop to 120, it’s impossible to learn the proper “context” in which this information was given and functions. 120 NEVER DID, DOESN’T AND NEVER WILL EXIST IN A VACUUM!

So to conclude Today’s Article, I just want to reiterate the importance of considering our own KOS Anthology. The path of Self Knowledge does not began with your Enlightener. Technically speaking, it never began -when looking at our essential self being the infinite Consciousness dwelling within our physical form. In a physical sense, we can technically say it began when we took our first breath! Although an Enlightener plays a very, very significant & critical role in helping us make sense out of our metaphysical/physical path, our path itself is an Anthology of experiences -both good & bad- that we bring to the table prior to us meeting our Enlightener and our Enlightener meeting us! This is no way meant to minimize my role or any God/Earth’s role as an Enlightener, it’s just meant to put our Position, as Enlighteners, in the proper context! We learn very early on in the (9/1-10) of our Student Enrollment that “we have no said birth record” and that we are “older than the Sun, Moon & Stars.” This Lesson does not say our said birth record is, “1934, 1964, 1969, when we met our Enlightener, when we finished 120, etc…) To consider our growth and development in such limited terms becomes a “rope to bind” (4/1-14) in our perception & sphere of consciousness! So YES, The Father and his Companions did a wonderful job in bringing The Lessons (120) to the streets, yet there are many others who’ve also done a wonderful job in helping mode and shape our consciousness into who and what we are, including ourselves! So give credit where credit is due, NOTHING MORE AND NOTHING LESS. And while you’re supporting The KOS Anthology Book, make sure you continue to support your own personal KOS Anthology; the Koranic script you write through your experiences each and every day! -smile-

Peace!

My Finger-Roll! LOL

Cultural Knock-offs

Peace Ya’ll! Today I wanted to delve back into the science of our Culture; Culture being our sum total of people activities that are rooted in our Priorities, Values and Principles. For example, the type of food we choose to eat is a dietary representation of our ‘Way of Life’ (Culture) and expresses our Priorities, Values and Principles. Ceeing someone devouring a BBQ pulled pork burger and washing it down with a ice cold Colt 45 before they smoke a loosey cigarette gives you a great deal of insight into how they’re actually living, how they set their priorities, what they value and what dietary principles they’re aware of & adhere to. Those of you who’re feeling like I’m making a judgment call on what people choose to do, you’re getting my words twisted! The point I’m making is simply this: people’s activities express their Culture. With this in Mind, we must honestly ask ourselves, “By evaluating people’s activities, how do you distinguish a God and Earth from anybody else?” Think about this for a second……. If two dudes are high as hell on coke and one calls himself Master Islord Born Allah and the other dude’s name is Rufus Johnson, what’s the real difference between them? If two females are hoppin from man to man, looking for love in all the wrong places and one calls herself True Dream Earth and the other’s name is Becky Roland, what’s the real difference between them? Cee, we can rationalize it any way we want b.u.t. Master Islord and Rufus’ will either get fired or put in a Rehab Program for breaching the no-drug policy at their place of employment if they get caught wit dirty piss. As for True Dream Earth and Becky…? Well let’s just say that both a dem don’t seem like “the marrying” type. LOL

Now in the above two analogies of course there are going to be variances; When they’re high as hell, Islord might start talking about how he’s God of the Universe and Rufus might start talking about how he’s da shit on da Basketball Court. When they’re dealin with somebody, True Dream might say she’s “now” reflecting the light of da God So & So and Becky might say this is her “new” Man. What I’m emphasizing here is this: When it comes to people’s activities, there’s often a common theme or pattern of behavior that’s clearly evident -regardless of what name we come in or what we wanna call our way of life. These activities tell you our “real” Culture and the Priorities, Values and Principles that define our “real” way of life -regardless of what name we come in or what we wanna call our way of life! So if you can’t cee a clear distinction or difference in the people activities of a so-called God/Earth from the people activities of the everyday John/Jane that’s probably because there isn’t a difference! LOL And if you’re going outta your way try to make the distinction or cee a difference then you’re probably going outta your way to fool yourself. Cee, there are certain things that Gods/Earths simply don’t/won’t do who’re seriously dedicated to righteousness and striving for perfection. There are also certain things that Gods/Earths simply don’t/won’t/can’t rationalize in the process of striving for that perfection and living out righteousness. Keep in Mind that ALL OF US have growth and development to do in certain areas in our lives. If we’re serious about working on these areas in our life then we won’t glorify, rationalize or justify them. This means that we’re all dealing with something in our life that we can improve upon, b.u.t. the question is, “Do we really want to do better or do we want to sit around and justify why we like not doing any better?” Also, when it comes to dedicating one’s life to righteousness and striving for perfection, never assume that people have the same intention. Contrary to what some of you would “like” (6/1-36) to believe about human beings, some people -including Gods/Earths- love to waddle in the muck & mire and really don’t want to do better. They love the crack headish endorphin rush they get from being in/causing Drama .They honestly feel good when they hear bad shit about other people, and they get angry, jealous and hateful when they cee/hear another person doing something positive; usually something they don’t have the talent(s) to do themselves. People like this do exist people!

Now, since our duty as Civilized People is to teach the uncivilized, this call of duty may take us to some very uncivilized places; places that when given the choice, we probably wouldn’t be. So in this case, we’re nothing more than Gods/Earths commuting to Grimeyville for our teaching gig. This approach is entirely different than Gods/Earths who choose to live in Grimeyville -not because they’re dedicated to a teaching gig b.u.t. because they simply enjoy being a local Grimey. In otherwords, some Gods may deal with alcohol in order to gain entrance into the “social equality” (8/1-14) of those that deal with that cipher in order to teach them. That’s entirely different than getting saucy with ya everyday drinking buddies and then turning around trying to rationalize that you’re teachin ‘em! Some Earths honestly respect how various Gods deal with Mathematics so they build with these Gods because they’re a cultural resource. That’s entirely different than being God Groupies who’re just fuckin around with different Gods. LOL

I remember when I first started experimenting with the high explosive we call ‘Equality’ (Equal, Weed, Herb, Marijuana, etc..). I was 20 year old College Newborn. Through the systematic use of ‘Equal’, I honestly tapped into a higher realm of consciousness and I’m forever grateful to have had the opportunity to open up certain perceptual doors. I used it for strictly study purposes and learned many things about myself and the environment that I wasn’t privy to when not in an altered state. Anyway, in time my priorities began to shift and instead of me occasionally studying with the use of this herb, I began to find myself using this herb to study with. In other words, the ritualized use of this sacred power plant became nothing more than a social drug habit; smoking weed. Yeah it obviously took me some time to realize I was actually doing this b.u.t. because I’m honest with myself, I eventually took inventory of what I was doing to myself! Yeah I rationalized that I’m gonna “deal with some Equality” before I go to the club and do the knowledge! LOL Yeah I tried to justify “getting elevated” at 3am because I would be able to tap into the dreamtime stream of collective consciousness the people were in as they slept -thus allowing me to remote view what was going on in that realm! LOL And yeah “I got stimulated” in a Cipher of Gods more than once a day so we can build on some “high” science! LOL Now for those of ya’ll who have always wondered how in da hell people even learned to equate ‘having a Cipher’ or passing a blunt -or other harder drugs- around in ‘a Cipher’ got started… it originated from the cultural lingo of early Five Percenters (Gods/Earths) mixed with destroy culture! Of course this is where our people were and still may be at in our own growth and development, yet many of these Gods/Earths rose and rise above these circumstances by drawing the line. Not using our people activities -AND CONSCIENCE- to draw the line between divine culture and destroy culture is also the origin of the motto, “To Master anything is to leave it the hell alone!” For those of you who are unfamiliar with that saying, many of our Elder Gods/Earths have given and will give their lives for us to learn that!

Now some of you are sitting back asking yourselves the question. “Is this Article some kinda Ad against the Legalization of Marijuana?” LOL Hell naw, it’s an Ad against the Cultural Apathy and Legalization of any people activities that undermine our growth & development as Individuals and as a Nation of People!! -shakes head- I’m also not saying we’re all squeaky clean either, b.u.t. we should be steadily working towards not being “mixed, diluted or tampered with” (9/1-14) in every aspect of our people activities and not settling for anything less, right? For example, if we’re smoking a box of Black -n- Mild’s a day, then we should be striving towards cutting it back until we can cut that habit off completely! And for those Supreme Mathematicians out there who’re sitting there trying to justify it, there is no science to smoking no damn Black -n- Mild’s. -shakes head- If we really have love for ourselves and eachother as a Family/Nation, then shouldn’t we want the best for eachother physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc..? And Naaaaaaaw this ain’t about telling people what they need to be doing either! To me, watching a baby waddle out into a street full of traffic is no different then watching an adult waddle into a situation where they can get blindsided by habitual traffic; (19/1-40). Hey, maybe it’s just me b.u.t. I thought a Family/Nation looked out for eachother in that regard. -shrugs- Oh well…

I’m also not advocating Nation of Islamish ‘Restrictive Laws’. Why? Because we’re “grown ass Adults”, who say we’re serious about positive growth and development, and we pursue this under our own power. So ultimately, because we take our own initiative to grow and develop we don’t need somebody to keep us in line; we check ourselves! Unfortunately, many Gods/Earths lack the conscience, initiative and maturity to commit themselves to positive growth and development. If this lack of commitment I cee within the Nation even remotely resembled what was going on in the sixties, I can cee the logic in the statement, “Go back to the Nation (of Islam)” that The Father “supposedly” made to his young Five Percenters who were ‘wild for da night!’ LOL Am I advocating that some Gods/Earths go join The NOI “so they can clean themselves up” (9/1-14)? Well from my experience with Registered Believers in The NOI, even Restrictive Laws aren’t going to stop a person from doing what they want to do! So the answer is NO, I don’t advocate Gods/Earths joining The NOI because The NOI or anything else ain’t gonna save them; they gotta save themselves!

So to conclude Today’s Article I want to encourage all of you not to waver in your dedication to righteousness and to continue striving for perfection. WE ALL got things we’re dealing with and that’s alright. The main thing is to do something about it! We may not be able to tackle projects all at once b.u.t we can chip away at it each and everyday until it no longer exists as a looming “sword above” (9/1-14) our heads! So take your time, be diligent and realize that our people activities are much more than the expression of a single individual living his/her life; we are a collective cultural consciousness ceen through individual eyes!

Peace!

What "IS" the Duty?!

Peace Ya’ll! Today I wanted to build about the 18/1-40; What is the Duty of a Civilized Person? I wanted to go through this Degree to give people (Gods/Earths in particular) more insight into not only what our Duty "IS" b.u.t. “what this duty consists of” and “when this duty is applicable”. Let me explain…

The answer to this Degree states: “The duty of a Civilized Person is to teach he who is savage Civilization, Righteousness, the Knowledge of Himself, the Science of everything in Life, Love, Peace and Happiness.”

If you noticed, no where in this Degree does it say, mention or even allude to “giving somebody 120”! My question is: As an Enlightener, at what point do we decide the Duty of a Civilized Person involves giving somebody 120? Personally, when I was young in this Math I used to hand out Degrees like loosey cigarettes. -shakes head- It wasn’t until I began to really mature in this Culture did I start understanding my actual Duty. Some of us haven’t matured yet and may never mature in this Duty, b.u.t. in Today’s Article I wanna give people alittle insight to hopefully aid them in recognizing this Duty; this is what I call ‘Making Lemonade outta Lemons’. I’m also writing this Article to shed light on the Idea of Gods/Earths having students/fruit, enlightening people, giving people life, raising the dead, etc...

First of all, let me define the word ‘Savage’. In the 2/1-14, we learn that, “A Savage means a person who has lost the knowledge of himself AND is living a beast life.” I emphasis the word ‘AND’ because many people have lost the knowledge of themselves b.u.t aren’t necessarily savage because they’re not living a ‘beast life’; meaning ‘on a lower/horizontal plane’. So, although everyone needs Civilization, the 18/1-40 is primarily focusing on those who are considered ‘Savage’, and let me once again reemphasize that the 18/1-40 doesn’t mention anything about 120 Lessons.

As an Enlightener -or any Civilized Person- it is our Duty to teach people who have lost the knowledge of themselves and are living a beast life. As I’ve stated, this Duty involves teaching Civilization, Righteousness, the Knowledge of Himself, the Science of everything in Life; Love, Peace and Happiness. NOW, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT; based upon the needs of that person, we must design an effective curriculum to teach them. Again, this does not mean giving them 120! For some people, all they may need to be taught is Love, period. Others? Strait up Righteousness. Still others may need to be taught how to bring Peace to their lives, through the Science of Everything in Life. There are various combinations that we must figure out ON OUR OWN in order to be effective Educators and help a person unlock their own consciousness. On the flip side of this, if we’re trying to emphasis ‘The Knowledge of Himself’ when he is actually a ‘her’, then we can risk “running ‘her’ from amongst us” (4/1-14) -even though we may have the purest intentions. We can also make a mistake of emphasizing Righteousness when all a person wants is for you to show them alittle Love, nothing more and nothing less. Sometimes we can make the mistake of building about the Science of everything in Life with a person without ever considering if we respectfully came to and left them in ‘Peace’; which may be the most important thing we need to teach them! ALL OF THESE assessments are vital in performing our Duty properly. These assessments help us develop the appropriate curriculum and relationship with a person to maximizes the type of resource we can be to them -consequently, helping them cee their relationship/resourcefulness to others. No where in this process are we called upon to hand somebody Lessons and/or get them to recite 120! -shakes head- So again I ask, “At what point do we decide that Civilization involves giving somebody 120?”

Well, when it comes to learning 120 Lessons, I cee it like earning a Universal Teaching Certification; a Certification that allows you to certify other Teachers. Most of the people we come across do not -and will not- get into this Teaching Profession and it would be wrong of us to expect that of them by trying to force them to certify them; AKA give them 120 Lessons! 95% of the people that we come in contact with simply need tutoring and it’s up to us -as Professionals- to determine what subjects we can help them in. A lot of the times people are very insecure to ask for help, so it can make our task that much difficult in designing the proper curriculum for them. Ultimately, we save ourselves a lot of time and energy not “searching for that-that does not exist” (10/1-40) So I cee it like this: We should never decide that Civilization involves giving somebody 120 because it’s up to that person to come and get it! Let me explain…

A lot of the problems that exist within The NGE are simply because many people were handed a Teaching Certification (120) who weren’t seriously committed to making this a Lifelong Profession. Therefore, you have a couple generations of mis-educated Gods/Earths carrying the same habits as their Public School peers; illiteracy, criminal behavior, lack of discipline, poor diet, teenage pregnancy, etc… Because some God/Earth took tutoring waaaaaaay too far, now we have Bizzaro Math all over the place! When I first got Math I gave it to more people who didn’t want it then those who actually needed it! Although I’ve learned to come to grips with this reality, it often hurt to cee brothas/sistas I spent hours building with “distill back to the Planet in the form of” (8/1-40) just not eating porkchops, naming their child a Righteous name, or being able to soup up their rap lyrics. -shakes head- I learned a very, very, very valuable Lesson from these experiences and that is: The Duty of a Civilized Person is not giving somebody 120! What it comes down to is a person has to have the determined idea of teaching others -if they want 120. A basic question you can ask a person who says they wanna learn is, “What do you wanna do with 120 once you get it?” Their response will give you some insight into their determine idea. If you don’t hear ‘Teaching others so they can learn to teach” anywhere in their response then you know that you need to just tutor them -at least for now you do! At some point down the line -if they maintain interest by consistently asking for Lessons- your only responsibility beyond tutoring them is to build with them about this Universal Teaching Profession (AKA: Becoming/Being an Enlightener). Some of the things that must be clarified to them about becoming Certified as a Teacher (Enlightener) are as follows:

1. The tuition to get Certified is your word and that bond is life. So in other words, this is a blood contract and once you agree to take on the responsibility of educating yourself in order to help educate others, this is a lifelong Profession.

2. The Salary starts and ends at $0 per hour. The hours are 24/7 365 days a year and you don’t get Holidays off, or any paid Vacation time. Also, it doesn’t offer any Medical/Dental Coverage; that is your responsibility.

3. You are solely responsible for financial costs of educational materials/resources for the Students who have enrolled in your Teacher Certification Program.

4. The overall Curriculum you design to Certify a Teacher is Student based; some Students may take 2 ½ years to complete their Certification while others may take 6 Months. You are indebted to teach them unless they formally withdrawal or abandon the Program altogether.

5. Although the Teaching Certification has no expiration date and is lifelong, we must take the initiative to continually renew it; meaning, ensure that our Core Curriculum (120) is right and exact. The only other time we can be requested to renew our Certification is by/through another Certified Teacher. Another Certified Teacher has the unrestricted right to "reasonably" question us about any aspects of our Certification so it’s important to know exactly what we're teaching. This questioning process can happen randomly; at any time and in any place.

6. As a Union Member, Dues are paid on a daily basis; and the amount varies based upon circumstance. Dues are paid financially, emotionally, socially, physically and/or mentally.

When we say that there are 85%, 10% and 5% that make up the population, this is a Psycho-socioeconomic paradigm that doesn’t change. What this means is this: If you’re giving people Lessons, the majority of the time you’re wasting your time. This is shown and proven when a person is actually entrusted to grasp and live out the Principles of this Culture on their own. Sure many people can recite/quote these Lessons b.u.t. many times they have not learned these Lessons or how to functionally apply the Procedures that set appropriate Priorities and reinforce God/Earth Centered Values & Principles. You can’t imagine how many times I get letters from Gods in the Injustice in the hole who’re building about Righteousness and taking me through all kind of Degrees. I’ve ceen/heard Earths articulate Love as feelings/emotions without once explaining Love in Principle. Another example is Gods/Earths who say they’re about striving for perfection b.u.t. try to justify the use of mind altering substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc... I said ‘justify’ using, meaning: using pseudoscience to explain why they’re using these substances instead of just honestly acknowledging they’re using them as an escape or because they’re addicted. Ultimately, there’s a huge Psycho-socioeconomic gap between what many Gods/Earths so-called ‘Know’ and our actual ‘Ways and Actions’ because we often don’t consider how certain Procedures either reinforce or undermine Mathematical Principles. Once I recognized this within myself, I began to evaluate myself and assess people, place and things based upon what Mathematical Procedures/Principles are actually being reinforced or undermined through the way people, places and things function. A prime example of this is the many times I placed unreasonable expectations on people -by handing them Lessons- although they never took the actual steps to qualify themselves to become a Certified Teacher (Enlightener). -shakes head-

So to conclude Today’s Article I just want to reemphasize the importance of properly evaluating people in order to develop the right Curriculum to tutor them; most people will not become Certified Teachers and that right is solely up to them.

Peace!

aging gracefully..?

Eldercentricity

Peace Ya’ll! A couple months ago I received an email from my God Brother Allah Jihad -Author of the Book "The Immortal Birth"- building about the science of Eldership in this Nation and he raised some very valid points concerning self proclaimed “Older Gods”, people taking shit “on face value” (9/1-40), the meaning of Pro-Black and Anti-White, and how some Gods/Earths are quick to support other people b.u.t not our own. Today I wanted to take a moment to share some of these insights I drew up from Allah Jihad’s email and introduce you to what I call 'Eldercentricity'!

Cee, the science of Eldership goes way back to the wooly mammoth era. LMAO! Naw, word up though, in our Classical -and various Contemporary Societies- Elders were the Ole Heads -who lived an exemplary life- that have now reached an age where it was time to lay back and enjoy the rest of their golden years on the Planet. Elders were those Men and Women who people took care of and people we came to for guidance. Elders were the ones whom the King/Queen or Chief consulted with in matters of the Society. Elders gave blessings for Divine Unions, gave names to our children and even preformed Burial Rites for those who passed on. Elders had a very, very important role to play in our Societies and their guidance and insight was critical to our individual/collective well being. Like I said, there are many Contemporary Societies -and Cultures- that still hold a high regard for Eldership b.u.t. there are others that don’t. It was our Society or Tribes willingness and natural responsibility to take care of our Elders; that was the first Social Security System. In America for example, we’re encouraged to not take care of our Elders b.u.t. abandon them by putting them in Nursing Homes. Although many “have fallen victim to” (38/1-40) these Americanized ‘Values’ (for lack of a better word), there are many who’ve held fast to Cultural Traditions that won’t allow it. Ultimately, it has been those people who willingly arrived to America with their Cultural Traditions in tact who’ve had less reason/inclination to embrace foreign Values. Enslaved Original People didn’t have the same privilege.

So in other words, one of the fundamental components to the growth and development of our Society -especially our children- was/is the relationship we have with our Elders. Without this relationship the Society -especially our youth- becomes Cultural bankrupt! Thus ‘Slavery’ was/is a Psycho-Socioeconomic Institution designed -among other things- to undermine, impede, and annihilate the status of our Elders. Common sense tells us that if there’s a problem we need to solve, ask the person who’s been looking at this problem the longest! They may not have the answer b.u.t. they damn sure give you more insight into the problem! That is the value of our Elders and by Slave Masters using systematic techniques to undermine, impede, and annihilate the status our Elders always held within our Societies, they dwarfed our growth and development “as a People”. This Status Quo was not only imposed upon black people, b.u.t. many Americanized Caucasians imposed it because they lacked a general respect for their own Elders. This ‘collective’ selective amnesia amongst these Caucasians goes all the way back to their preoccupation with death, time, violence, and materialism you cee grossly permeating their Grecian Mythology, History and European Folklore amongst themselves and in relationship to Original People.

In Today’s American Society there are no more Elders, just Old People; Black & White alike! And simply because Society fails to identify, define and respect Elders does not mean that they do not exist! They ultimately do exist -and matter!- and because they’re not identified, defined and respected, it produces the same Psycho-Socioeconomic dilemma the Institution of ‘Slavery’ did/does. This dilemma can function many ways b.u.t. today I wanted to build about how it functionally produces what I call “Eldercentricity”!

Eldercentricity is the perspective/belief that one is superior because of their age. Usually adopted by ‘older people’, this grandiose attitude of superiority and preeminence is both conscious and unconsciously expressed. This form of nostalgic narcissism is spawned from the resentment and discontent ‘older people’ feel about Societies discrimination and dispassionate classification of them as Senior Citizens. People who’re Eldercentric also exhibit mild to extreme cases of bi-polar behavior; waxing and waning from overcompensated youthful self indulgence to a rockin chair realm of social alienation. Ultimately, an Eldercentricity is a person’s Worldview who hasn’t come to terms with their Age, Death and their Societal Definition as ‘old’ in a New-Age Society.

“Aging gracefully” is a concept I haven’t ceen too often, not only Gods and Earths b.u.t. in Elders period. It’s a very, very rare quality indeed! Here’s “some” -not all- of the characteristics I’ve ceen in people who’re dealing with Eldercentricity:

1. You can’t tell them nothing. They talk and you listen. Period.
2. They constantly dwell in and on the past and always discredit the present Generation.
3. They starve for attention and become depressed and even hateful when they don’t get it.
4. They’re not good listeners.
5. They don’t admit when they’re wrong.
6. To them, there is nothing better than ‘the old days’.
7. They’re overtly/covertly jealous, envious, lustful or hateful of the Youth and everything ‘Youthfulness’ represents, because it reminds them of their ‘old age’.
8. They’re chronic complainers, depressive and pessimistic.
9. They’re miserly.
10. They’re very competitive and always try to outdo someone (AKA: one up-manship); especially those who’re younger than them.
11. In their eyes, you -or no one else- are not as important as they are.
12. They try to overcompensate for their ‘old age’ by trying to look, talk and act young; although they’re clearly not.
13. They act like you -and anybody else- owes them something!
14. They offer unsolicited advice or do things just so you can tell them ‘thank you’.
15. If you tell them a goal you accomplished they’ll find a way to tell you 5 goals they accomplished.
16. They’re obnoxious, irritating and a bulky psychological obstruction; on purpose and accidentally.
17. They have a false sense of their own ability. They may have trouble walking from one room to the next b.u.t. will tell you they’re about to start training for a Marathon.
18. If you disagree with them they’ll throw a temper tantrum, or throw you out.
19. They expect you to go all out for them b.u.t. they won’t go all out for you. Why should they? They paid their dues -whatever that is.

So how do we resolve this dilemma? First of all, many of our Elders don’t realize that they’re Eldercentric and for the most part you can’t even build with them about it because they already ain’t listening to ya ass! LOL! Since YOU KNOW what’s going on, it equips you with the proper tools to simply deal with them better; and not take it personal when they bruise ya young Ego with their old one. More than anything, it’s about having a better understanding of what our Elders are going through in a Society that throws them away once they qualify for discount coffee at McDonalds. Keep in Mind that one day we’ll have to face the same circumstances when we reach the Winter Solstice of our lives, and “knowing our ownself” (13/1-36) -what’s happening to us and accepting these changes. This psychoanalysis will ultimately determine if we’re going to ‘age gracefully’ or be a bigger asshole than some of these ‘old folks’ we complain about! LMAO!

Peace!

Preventative Maintenance

Peace Ya’ll! Having Knowledge of Self is one thing b.u.t. forging, striving to elevate and maintaining a relationship with it is like apples and oranges! I will be upfront, I have cultural distrust issues and every God and Earth should! I say this because to put your cultural trust in a potential companion to make certain decisions that are in line with your Core Values -which they don’t share or may not even know- is a landmine waiting to blow-up in your faces! Notice I said “your faces”, because they get damaged too! Well where does the damage occur? The damage occurs when we place “trust” -AKA: unreasonable expectations- on a person to adhere to/uphold the same Cultural Principles we would in a given situation. This seems pretty simple up front and many Gods and Earths simply write off people from the door by categorizing them as “85’s” (14/1-40), b.u.t. it’s not always that clean, clear and concise -especially when “the Sun (Man) and Moon (Woman) have an attractive power on this plan”- it makes it that much harder! (8/1-40) Today I’m going build about Preventative Maintenance when it comes to Companionships.

When I first got Knowledge of Self I was very idealistic about “making” (1/1-10) a relationship. I couldn’t even conceive why a person wouldn’t love to get to know themselves more intimately and grow and develop into the best they could be; I couldn’t even cee that! So when it came to building with a potential Earth I never took the time to find out if this Culture is what she wants; I assumed she did! The reality is, many Women have a difficult time accepting/dealing with a Man because they’re used to accepting/dealing with males/boys. So when a Man waltz’s his ass into her life there’s usually a tug of war between roles and it’s steeped in the politics of power and dominion (control). The Women is reluctant to equally distribute her power and dominion (control) that the Man’s nature demands! If, and I say “if” these superpowers can work pass these wars and learn to be diplomatic about their respective roles within the relationship, then the relationship can actually work…at ground level…between a Man and a Women.

Now as Gods -and Earths- there’s different “cultural” expectations when it comes to entering into a relationship. First of all, we identify ourselves as much more than just a Man or Woman; this is why we come in the name of “God” and “Earth”. In regards to Gods: Keep in Mind that most Women have a difficult time just accepting a Man, so accepting you as God is often a huuuuuuuge psychological stretch for them. This hasn’t nothing to do with how swift you are or magnetic your Math is either; “They” simply don’t accept you as God (cognitive dissonance)! Even when you make knowledge born to them about who you are, and they appear to accept you by calling you God, learning Lessons, etc.., in their heart of hearts they’re really just looking at you as an “Asiatic Black Man” (1/1-10), if that. Not all Women are like this b.u.t. many of them are. All I’m saying is don’t think that just because she can quote Lessons, or calls you God that-that’s in her heart. If you’re a God and you really aren’t sure if this Wiz, so-called Queen or Earth is really about this culture then build with her!! And when you’re building with her don’t accept anything she says, question her to the point where she reveals the underlining Principle that upholds/supports her feelings; you’ll be surprised at what you cee, how she really cee’s this culture and how she’s ultimately been looking at you -maybe for “years, months and days” (36/1-40). *WARNING: If you’re satisfied with how things appear then keep them that way because you might now want to accept what will be revealed and take on the responsibility of doing something about it. I’m talking about “YOU” accepting what will be revealed and “YOU” taking on the responsibility of doing something about it. Your Wiz, so-called Queen or Earth may not want to do shit about it! Why should she?! You’ve already accepted her for who she is by laying down with her, maybe having a child -or children- with her, shackin up with her! Now it’s all about damage control, not the preventative maintenance I’ve been building about. The best way to resolve this kind of situation is to rebuild from the ground up be checking into a cultural rehab program. The reason you’ve gotten into this situation in the first place is because you were lax about your Cultural Values and allowed someone to come into your life who wasn’t “a said a person of that ability” (20/1-40). Don’t beat yourself up about it though; the fact that this person has learned “how to act” like they’re about this Culture “at home and abroad” (14/1-14) made this situation as clear as mud. Checking into a cultural rehab program means you need some time apart so you can get your head right! There’s no guarantee that you’ll ever get back with this Wiz, so-called Queen or Earth because she may not want to accept the Koran you’ve “renewed” (1/1-40). Also, one of the rules of recovery is to not go back to the same environment that helped sponsored your trip to rehab in the first damn place; you may relapse -“fall victim to” (38/1-40)- one of the “four” (10/1-14) triggers that cannot be reformed. Although you may want her -and the child(ren) to be a family, what you actually need is a universe and I know this is hard to accept b.u.t.: IT HAS TO BE ALL OR NOTHING. Anything “other than” (12/1-36) this would be ‘settling for the worst part’ (1/1-14) and ‘caring about the poor part’ (3/1-14). Anyway….., at the end of the day it’s better to live on your feet as the True and Living God by yourself, then slowly dying on your knees alongside someone who’s having a hard time ceeing you as an Asiatic Black Man. When it comes to Earths, all of the same concepts apply; if some dude can’t really cee you as a Queen or Earth and only uses these shallow terms as psychological Scooby Snacks, you gotta make some difficult decisions for you and your child(dren).

When I say “I have cultural distrust issues” this is not distrust in a prejudicial sense where I’m suspicious or reluctant about dealing with certain people. What I’m saying is, when I get to know people -based upon the Worldview and Core Values they show me- I simply don’t/won’t entrust them with certain tasks, delegate certain responsibilities to them, or share certain experiences with them because they don’t share my Worldview and Core Values as a God and Earth. That would be cultural negligence if I did. It’s like handing a person a blueprint to build something and expecting them to complete it without knowing for sure if they have an engineering background and experience in it. More importantly than that, we may not have even taken the time to cee if they view the task as a job or a thriving career; there is a difference!! Now many of you smart dumb muthafuckas just climbed up on your holy high horse and said “God the duty of the civilized is to teach he who is savage...!” (18/1-40). YES, I agree 120%; “Our” duty is to teach, b.u.t. their duty can be to just stay black -brown, red, yellow and white- and die! And if that’s what they want to do, we have no right to take that away from them or stand in their way! If we do stand in their way, we can be the very obstruction that’s stopping them from actually getting it right! Take that into consideration the next time you’re running your mouth, I mean “building with” em?! -shakes head-

To conclude Today’s Article I want to reemphasize that just because a person can recite Lessons, does Mathematical Tricks, or is pretty proficient in using the Supreme Math and Supreme Alphabet to spell words like ‘true I master equality’ (time), it doesn’t mean that they recognize, share and adhere to the Worldview and Core Values of The NGE. Our Supreme Mathematics are often referred to as ‘keys’ to understand -or unlock- our relationship to -and within- the universe. KEEP IN MIND that this -and any- relationship is Principle based. To have a relationship with any person, place or thing, you must identify and adhere to how it/they function. How something functions identifies it’s purpose and it’s purpose is it’s Principle or ‘Law which governs it’s process(es)’! This is to say that there are many people that simply do not know Supreme Mathematics in Principle! Therefore, they may be able to talk all day about Equality b.u.t. can’t/won’t show you Equality when the situation demands it; there’s an obvious glitch/lapse in understanding how Supreme Mathematics should be applied in Principle! Anyway, here are your basic preventative maintenance options when it comes to Companionships:

1. Before you get with someone take your time to really get to know them by the Principles they do/will live according to “regardless of whom or what” (11/1-14)! Find out what they’re really committed to in their heart and then decide if you want to -and can- live with it, because you will!

2. If you’ve discovered that you made an error in judgment with choosing a companion who’s not really about the Principles you adhere to and uphold, find a way to gracefully bow outta that shit! It will probably hurt -a lot- and you may be opening up the gates of hell, b.u.t. in the end you’ll be alright; you don’t have a choice!

3. Disregard all of this. Treat this Article as inapplicable bullshit and keep your positive and productive Companionship moving! Thanks for reading it to the end though; I appreciate the open Mind. -grin-

Peace!
