Aleister Crowley; As American as Apple Pie!!

Peace Family, everything’s good wit me. The above picture is of Aleister Crowley who dubbed himself “The Great Beast” and who is undeniably the Father of Contemporary Majick, particularly “Sexual Majick”! To understand the essence of many of this Society’s Social Norms/Mores it’s important to gain a functional Knowledge of Aleister Crowley. It’s been said that this SICK BASTARD sacrificed an ejaculating goat while it was penetrating his orgasmic wife during a Sex Majick Ritual!! Anyway, do alittle research on him when you get a chance! Besides that, I also wanted to share with you a few thoughts that I’ve been dealing with lately so check this out:

-On the block I rest on the City of Atlantis (Niagara Falls, NY) is gonna be building a Court House and Public Safety Building. The Management Corp that owns the Property where I live at sent me a Certified Letter stating that they are in negotiations with the Development Co. so “if” the building gets sold I will be receiving another letter stating that I have 90 days to move out. Anyway, they’re offering me some alternative housing & moving cream or also a down payment on a Born Jewel (Shelter). Sounds good right, b.u.t. I know that sound only travels 1,120 ft per second so I’ll see what happens (Light travels 186,000 miles per second!). I’ve already communicated this to my young Queen’s months before this even happened so I wrote this Koran in advance. I was telling them that I’m gonna have to find a bigger Born Jewel cuz they both getting older and they’re gonna need their own room. B.u.t. like I said, light travels a lot faster than sound so right now I’ve been doing some background research on Federal/NYS Law in regards to Tenant Rights and Eminent Domain Procedures. I’ve already found that my Management Corp. is trying to run some 10% shit, I’ll keep ya’ll informed!

-Working at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel is like a giant laboratory! Endless experiments, Knowledge to gather, Wisdom to experience and Understanding to gain about life. I’ve been here for 3 years and there’s been only one time that I didn’t want to come to work and that’s because I was dealing with my young Queen’s Mother taking them and moving out of State to PA! Other than that, I enjoy being here. One thing that I’ve really learned is how oppressed females really are! Not socially of course, b.u.t. sexually like a muthafucka’! I know that they rule the realm of 6 (six/sex) b.u.t. damn, whenever you havin’ a conversation with them there’s always some underlining sexual innuendo behind what they saying or what that interpret you are saying! Now this ain’t just single chicks, I’m talking about the married one’s especially! It’s a trip. I never realized how blatant, high strung, and sexually orientated many women were until I got here and did the knowledge! It’s funny because there’s nothing really overt that physically distinguishes me from the average guy. Because they take my appearance on face value, I “look” like fair game to them. I laugh to myself sometimes when I think about the 8th Degree (1-40’s) when it says, “This water is never drawn above 6 miles from the Earth’s surface by the Sun & Moon” by usually responding to these situations with either a modest smile, a shake of my head or the common response, “you crazy”!

-I can’t even tell you the last time I heard a brotha/sistah in the NOI even say the word Yacub, Musa, Devil or any of the other common words and/or phrases that are “rooted” in the teachings of Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons). I don’t know about you, b.u.t. to me that is a Sociopolitical “idea” that needs to be thoroughly investigated! If you’ve honesty been looking at what has been chronologically happening in the NOI (particularly within the last 2 ½ decades) you’ll see what I’m saying! Trust me, there’s an undeniable shift in Orientation when you hear brotha’s/sistah’s in the NOI talking more about what the Koran & Prophet Muhammad say then what Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons) & The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us! Yeah, I know I’m not in the NOI and your probably saying that it shouldn’t be my concern b.u.t. that’s family and the way that they do things are going to impact all of us, collectively! Not to mention that it personally hurts to see most of our brotha’s/sistah’s in the NOI being conditioned to fill menial “labor class” positions instead of being encouraged to be rooted in & apply the actual Teachings (Supreme Wisdom, 120 Lessons) in order to attain the Higher “Aristocratic” levels of Self Development that about 10% of the NOI are enjoying.

During the 1st Resurrection of the NOI, the brotha’s/sistah’s Worldview was Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons) orientated! Do the Knowledge to any old A/V Recordings of the NOI and you’ll hear it. You’ll hear the raw uncut Teachings, not the baking soda cut shit you usually hear today! Many new member’s of the NOI don’t even know what Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons) is and many of them go on “laboring” for years not even looking in it! It’s almost like getting a job at a place that doesn’t proactively supply you with the History of the Company, an Employee Handbook & Policies and Procedures prior to assigning and emphasizing your Job Function. That leave’s a whole lot of room for “potential” Monkey Business!! Under these circumstances, people over your head can tell you whatever the fuck they want to and because you really don’t know shit all you can do is “believe” (follow) what they say. This explains the term “Believers” that NOI Member’s use to refer to themselves because many of them don’t even “know” their fundamental Teachings (120 Lessons). Now, if some Monkey Business does go down involving people in the Organization, you really ain’t got no legs to stand on or RECOURSE to address/rectify the situation! To put it plain, you in a fucked-up situation. I’ve seen it happen, and all these “laborers” had to do is be well versed in Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons) and they would have been able to defend themselves & go to war when necessary (and unfortunately with they own people)! What many of them still DON’T REALIZE AND WON’T BE TOLD is this; The Hierarchal “Restrictive Laws” that they unquestionably follow DOES NOT supercede the essence from which they were derived; Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons). These restrictions are man-made derivatives of Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons) and a thorough Knowledge of these Teachings doesn’t necessitate someone holding Restrictive Laws over your head like it's a Sword of Justice. Think about it, ain’t nobody checkin Farrakhan, and other’s in his Aristocratic fold like that because they making the Restrictive Law’s. This is Shown & Proven because Farrakhan has changed some things that the 1st Resurrection didn’t do, some good and others not so good! Now if you think Farrakhan will give his son Mustafah 60 days exile for the same minor offense that Local Minister’s give a lower class “laborer”, you are dumber than I thought! When we started to be programmed with the determined ideas of George W. Bush (regardless of what they were!) instead of relying on the basic tenets of The Constitution, some of us were wise enough to see that America was heading in a different direction. We knew because WE KNOW WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS. Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying, I think Farrakhan is excellent at what he does and I love my family, b.u.t. it’s ill to see The Teachings (120 Lessons) that has served as the backbone of our family now not given the respect, value and consideration that our Grandparents fought, bled and died to establish during the 1st Resurrection! Remember the big ass problem people had with Warith Deen Muhammad (Elijah’s son) when he started to Arabianize the NOI back in the mid 1970’s when Elijah departed? People was dropping out like flies and others literally wanted to kill him about so-called “straying away” from Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons)! Now that Farrakhan is doing the exact same thing 30 years later and with alittle more charisma, I guess it’s alright huh’?! Anyway, when I began to hear NOI Min. Akbar "Muslim Larry" Muhammad on this International Crusade to speak on The NGE (5 Percenters) during his lectures (that many times didn’t have anything to do with us!) in ways to alienate us, my "Spidey Sense's" began to tingle! Don’t be surprised that if America starts talking some so-called Domestic Terrorism shit about extremist groups within they borders that the NOI will stand by like they don’t deal with The Teachings (Supreme Wisdom/120 Lessons) that can be misconstrued as extreme! All they doing is setting the stage to pull some “Peter” shit when it comes down to the final hour! Pay close attention and listen to what I’m saying!!!

-I’ve been doing the Knowledge to some Bob Dylan lately, specifically to a couple of songs, one called “Tangled Up In Blue” and another one called “Shelter From The Storm”. Now, “Shelter From The Storm” is about this Wiz offering him a place of so-called comfort only to flip the script on him when I (Oh’ I mean “HE”) started to deal with her. It’s kinda like drowning in quicksand and seeing a beautiful woman standing on the ledge who offers you what “appears to be” a rope so you can pull yourself to safety. Exhausted from the struggle of pulling yourself to safety you roll over to discover that it was actually a venomous snake that you had blindly mistaken to be a rope! It’s ill, and here’s a verse about what condition he was in when he met the Bitch; “I was burnt out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, poisoned in the bushes, blown out on the trail, hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn, ‘Come in” she said, ‘I’ll give you Shelter From The Storm”. Now mind you, this was before he met her yet the shit he went through with her was worst! It was pure unadulterated hell! I (Damn, I mean Bob Dylan) goes on to build about how “he got his signal’s crossed” and eventually “bargained for salvation” b.u.t. “she gave him a lethal dose” and when he “offered up his innocence” he “got repaid with scorn” even though ‘Come in” she said, ‘I’ll give you Shelter From The Storm”!

-I had to drop my Young Queens off at they Ole Earth house out in Chester, PA to conclude Veteran’s Day Weekend so when I get there I always spend at least an extra day out in North Philly. I rest with my Enlightener’s Enlightener “Life” when I’m there and it’s always Peace to build with him. Anyway, he gave me a movie to take back to Atlantis to do the Knowledge on and it’s some High Science shit called Dangerous Liaisons!! Dangerous Liaison’s came out in 1988 and it’s a Period Film that takes place in French Aristocratic Society during the turn of the Century. All I will tell you about it is that it puts a lot of things in perspective!! For ya’ll that never seen it, I encourage you to get it to own!!

Supreme Mathematics
“The Understanding (Children) is the Best Part”

Relationship is like a primordial glue that holds the Universe together. Without a Relationship there’s no Relatively and without Relatively there’s no CONTEXT. CONTEXT manifests substance and infuses a person, place or thing with “Life”! Without CONTEXT, a person, place or thing functionally doesn’t exist and it’s sterile, neutral, non-politicized state is utterly useless. To start entertaining the idea of a new relationship because the muthafucka’ you wit ain’t doing shit is a Universal Principle! Just make sure you implement a right & just (Righteous) plan that will establish closure (key word!) in the situation so you can be free to move on with your “Life”! Yo’, the Alchemical Process of forging that Jewel burnt up my pockets, my time and me (emotionally!) so please don’t squander it, many people died in the process of trying to grasp that “Golden” Rule!

Shifting gears alittle bit, in the NGE we learn very early on that, “Supreme Mathematics is the Key to understanding our RELATIONSHIP to the Universe”. For those of you who don’t know what “Supreme Mathematics” are, a simple definition is; “A System of Alpha-Numerology where Numerical Elements (0-9) are identified/defined as Principled qualities that produce Principled qualitative Compounds”. In laymen’s terms, we don’t simply “look at” numbers as mechanical units or quantitative tools, we “look in” numbers as functional systematized qualities. While the average person see’s 1 + 2= 3, we see it as Knowledge (1) and Wisdom (2) bringing forth an Understanding (3)! Now don’t get it twisted now, we recognize the surface reality too, we simply understand that to “look in” things forensically, we unveil it’s essential nature. Our Supreme Mathematics is a profound system that we use to discover the underlining significance, oneness and interrelationship in all things! It’s simply not enough to say that 2 Apples + 2 Oranges = 4 Fruits. The essence is, what RELATIONSHIP does 2 Apples + 2 Oranges have to you as a “person”, in what “place” and how these “things” (fruits) function in your life. If this RELATIONSHIP is not established or a connection can’t be made of how anything relates to your life then it becomes nothing! But nothing or insignificance in your mind doesn’t negate the effect or impact that something “essentially” has upon your life. I often tell my students, “What you know won’t hurt you, it’s been killing you”. Being ignorant of ignorance is some shit!

The CONTEXT or RELATIONSHIP of how Numbers individually & collectively function is called Mathematics. Mathematics is an entirely mental concept, and represents the Principles & Procedures that give form to all aspects of existence. Form in a physical sense (dimensions & calculation), and Form in an intangible sense (thought & emotion). Mathematics is ultimately the Universal Language of Order/Law that permeates all organic/inorganic intangible/tangible processes.

With all that said, not only is it Supreme how we conceptualize Mathematics in it’s essential form through the use of Alpha-Numerical Oracles, but we have the intellectual dexterity to teach it to children! Regardless of what people have to say about the Gods & Earths, Abu Shahid & The Father where dealing with Ethereal Levels of thought to be able to teach children what I explained to you in the first 3 Paragraphs! To teach an average young adult this Supreme Mathematical Theology would already be difficult in a quiet classroom setting with endless resources. Imagine teaching and getting children to grasp this in the midst of the transitory atmosphere of the Harlem Streets, in the mid 1960’s, with little to no tangible resources, no classroom, teaching credentials or salary?! While Elijah brought basic Arithmetic to illiterate adults in Black Bottom, MI in the early 1930’s, Abu Shahid and The Father brought Geometry to bastardized children hanging in the Harlem Streets in the mid 1960’s! Supreme Mathematics was a “Key” that forged a consciousness in the youth. A consciousness that enabled them to grasp their RELATIONSHIP to the Universe! It’s interesting to note that when the NOI fell in the mid 1970’s, their “Da Vinci Code” guarded Teachings (The Lessons) were already hermetically housed in the genetic script of Inner City youth. Youth who were taught to unlock them using Supreme Mathematical Keys that no one on the Planet Earth could claim to have! While many “adults” fell by the wayside when The Honorable Elijah Muhammad left us, it was the children who were holding the weigh of “The Teachings” (Supreme Wisdom/120 Lessons) upon their shoulders!! That Actual Fact can never be minimized or depreciated!!

To conclude this Article I wanted to emphasize the fact that our target group in the NGE is the youth. Not that we don’t teach other’s in general, it’s just that we specifically focus on the youth. Because of this approach we tap into the proverbial “Fountain of Youth”, remain in tune with the time, and keep our methodologies of conveying the truth relative & innovative! In the NGE you see a brotha’ like Abu Shahid (who is approaching 80 yrs old!) spit a verse off the dome while rockin’ a Rockawear sweatsuit! You see many of our Elder’s rockin’ Tims, speaking the language of today’s youth, aware and “Alive” in the context of today’s time! I always respected that and the youth do too!! In my L.I.F.E. Program my Students love the fact that they can be themselves around me. That’s because I don’t look like I just came from a 1975 Southern Christian Leadership Conference, I ain’t got a “I’m an adult you can’t tell me shit” smirk on my face, and I don’t sit and judge them! Ya probably thinking, “What the hell does Supreme Mathematics got to do wit this”? Well, Supreme Mathematics are the keys we use to unlock the minds of the youth and turn any environment and activity into a classroom! Even the most mundane social activities or circumstances contain profound insights that we can use to grow & develop, and Supreme Mathematics are the forensic tools we use to extract them. While most Religious Rituals, Cultural Traditions, Philosophies and Beliefs become obsolete or die out, you’ll always see God’s and Earth’s speaking the “Mathematical” language of the Universe amongst the youth, lookin’ “fly & fresh to def”! For you grown-up’s who still didn’t get the point please refer back to Paragraph #1!!


Peace,

"Our 'PROPHET' W.D. Fard" -Hon. Elijah Muhammad

(14th Lesson, 1-14's/Lost Found Muslim Lesson #1)

Fard: The Man, the Myth, the Majik

Peace Fam! This subject has been in my Third (Mind) for a while so I thought is was a perfect time to manifest it. I will warn those of you who “Worship” Fard to discontinue reading this Article right from the gate! I know how much stock you place in “the belief” that Fard is 129 years old & studying on the Mothership so you may be alittle too sensitive to put beliefs such as this under a critical, analytical microscope. Those of you who are true seekers of Knowledge I welcome you to look at Fard, as he was; a Man shrouded in Myth and Majik. This Article is about being a follower only to the extent of learning how to Lead!! I want to clarify that I’m gonna approach this Article as if I’m speaking to people who already have a basic idea of who Fard is, primarily Registered “Believers” in the NOI. For those of you who don’t have a clue who Master Fard Muhammad is take a second to click on this NOI link dealing with "Fard" and NOI Chronology. Now here we go.. .

When I first learned about Fard (as a child, literally and intellectually!) he was larger than life to me! I never became a Registered “Believer” in the NOI but I did view the Man in Mythological terms. Kinda like the same way kids glorify Chris Brown today! Anyway, almost every story I heard about this Man would make David Blaine look like an Amateur! “Elijah Muhammad never saw him sleep”, “Fard is on the Mothership studying”, “Fard moved a star with his finger”, “Fard controls the weather” and the tall tales and legends go on and on! In light of Actual Facts, none of these (and other) instances have been Show & Proven to be true. For all practical purposes, these carefully constructed “Beliefs” simply serve the purpose of strengthening the faith of oftentimes faithless followers. I look at it like this, regardless how comforting and euphoric it feels to “believe” our child ate today, it can’t be compared to knowing for a fact that they had a nutritious halal meal. Like one of my Elder’s Abu Shahid say’s, “Belief never supersedes Knowledge”!

In the movie Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee spoke these famous words, “It’s like a finger pointing to the Moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you’ll miss the Moon and all it’s heavenly glory”. To me, I see these “tales” about Fard as just a finger, something designed to point you somewhere else! Many members (not all!) of the NOI that I know seem to always be engrossed in staring at the finger and consequently, they miss the “heavenly glory”. In otherwords, instead of simply co-signing the story that “Elijah Muhammad never saw Fard sleep”, analyze how that practical information (regardless of it’s validity!) can function in your life! The idea of “someone never seeing you sleep” is Peace if you really think about it practically! If many Muslims got the point they wouldn’t “sleep” on the Lesson’s (Supreme Wisdom) that Master Fard & Elijah Muhammad compiled as the FOUNDATION of The Teachings! It’s very, very rare to come across a Muslim (including Ministers!) who study The Lessons enough to know them by heart. I’m saying this because some brotha’s/sistah’s in the NOI try to discredit members of the NGE (Nation of Gods and Earths) because we “supposedly” don’t follow Restrictive Laws. It never occurs to them that it takes a tremendous amount of commitment, endurance, discipline and restrictive focus to memorize all 120 Lessons (the bulk of Supreme Wisdom!) and be able to recite them by heart! I ain’t even talking about breaking them down, I’m just talkin’ about spittin’ them off the dome! So don’t get it twisted fam, the flyest, most spectacular Ball Player’s usually aren’t in the NBA (NOI), it’s the cat’s that rep the streets and we (The NGE) hold this Knowledge like Street Balla’s! We “handle” (dribble) The Lesson’s with a sense of insight, self confidence, flair & finesse that would make the Harlem Globetrotter’s take notes! How else do you think The Father was able to grab the attention of the youth? He was swift, educated, entertaining and socially in tune with the youth, something that many adults find impossible to do!

Nowadays when some brotha’s in the NOI hear that you’re a member of the NGE there’s usually a quiet sense of respect (at least in your face it is!). The type of respect that was shown to the Master of the Green Destiny Sword in “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon”! I understand from some of my Elders that it never used to be like that back in the day. Now all brotha’s don’t have that sense of respect and for the few who have had the unfortunate experience (but blessing in disguise!) of trying to duel with the Lightening Tap, Self-Styled Wisdom of the Gods they learned very quickly never to assume that because we may appear to look like regular people that we are like them! One of the “other Rules and Regulations that are not mentioned in this lesson” (28 Lesson, 1-40) is as follows; “Don’t even step in the Arena if you BULLSHITTIN’ WITH The Lessons, because it’s Mentricide”! Let’s be real about it, because many (not all!) NOI brothers be stiff like Herman Munster, pitifully try to clone themselves into Farrakhan and keep Supreme Wisdom (The Lessons) on they shelf collecting dust they just ain’t ready to test our swift swordplay! It’s like Walker Texas Ranger vs. Tony Jaa! Now the blessing in all this is the fact that we show them how to flexibly express Islam as a living, breathing reality, not as a sterile ritualistic practice. And as painfully as many of them would like to admit it, we show them how it’s done!

Now alot of this stagnated, unworthy servant attitude that many (not all!) Muslims in the NOI have is because of their star-struck “Massah” Fard Muhammad belief that he is above them! This Religiosity is no different than how many Christians sweat Jesus, Buddhists deify Buddha and "New York" praised Flava Flav! To visualize Fard as a Man who got up with an erection in the morning, a human being who urinated/defected, brushed his teeth/hair and hung out with his boy Elijah is damn near impossible for many of them. Even now some of them cringed by reading that last sentence! He was a Man damn it!

Let me humor you for a moment, when it’s said that Fard was invited to dinner over a family’s house and he ate everything they served and then taught them about how to eat to live this is how I see it going down; Knowing that most people in Black Bottom MI migrated from the South, that’s probably the first time Fard had some Sweet Potato Pie, he probably had the shits all night from eating chitterlings & collard greens wit hog mauls, and his blood pressure probably spiked like Billy “White Shoes” Johnson! You know women was definitely trying to holla’ at him, and his pheromones probably made them hoes accost him like Jubelo, Jubela & Jubelum harassed Hiram Abiff! Make no mistake about it, Elijah and Fard rolled together! Elijah put Fard down on the street shit like Bubbles did 5-0 on The Wire. They hung out, they laughed together, shared tears together, and got upset with eachother at times! Yeah Fard is the 24th Scientist who was taught by 23 other Scientists (who happened to be his Father & Uncles), but he came to the Wilderness of North America to search for his long lost Uncle (The 25th Scientist)! The Uncle who his family wasn’t fuckin’ wit like that! Remember, we are of the Tribe of Shabazz right? “Rebellious” ass Black Sheep’s of the family who went into the Central Asia Jungle and thugged it out 50,000 years ago! Study your Lessons.. .

Anyway, when the NOI particularly chooses to focus on “the person of Master Fard Muhammad” instead of grasping “Allah” in his person, they misunderstand the reason that he came! Consequently, you begin see people gazing off in the Universe waiting for a person to return on the Mothership while neglecting their “person-al” responsibility on Earth! Now don’t get me wrong, I think it’s perfectly healthy to investigate the paranormal, Ufo’s, Bigfoot, Orb’s and all of that unknown shit, I just think that it is hypocritical for some members of the NOI to criticize a Christian for their “beliefs” when alot of what they be saying is belief’s too! A Christian has the right to believe that Noah put all the animals in the world in one Ark just like the NOI has a right to believe that Fard can beat Michael Jordan in a one on one game of Basketball (That dumb shit was told to me by a NOI brother before)!

I’d like to conclude by saying that although Allah was “in the person” of Master Fard Muhammad, the Black Man “is Allah”. There’s a difference. Fard didn’t come over here to have people performing salat with his image in our mind! Nowhere in our Lessons (Supreme Wisdom) does is say that Master Fard Muhammad “is” God or Allah. A cursory glace at the lesson’s would bear witness to this fact! The Lessons clearly mentions Fard as “OUR PROPHET” on two separate occasions yet the Black Man is referred to as Allah, God, the Supreme Being, the Original Man, and Son of Man countless times! Allah was said to be “in the person” of Master Fard Muhammad because World History even tells you that it’s rare to see Higher Consciousness righteously dwelling in a physical form that’s dealing with the physiological, psychological, social and economic issues associated with albinism! A good illustration of the sense of alienation, aggression, overcompensation, gross assimilation, inadequacy, uncivilization, apathy and pathology that a person with albinism goes through is in Walt Disney’s Tarzan! It’s a lot of weight to carry knowing that you are genetically an endangered species and that anywhere on the Planet Earth you go, your a stranger!! Fard was indeed an exception just like it was an exception for his Father Alphonzo to “go up in the Caucasus Mts.” (pun intended!) to get him a White Girl that he had to civilize and have a son with! I’m sure his brother’s had jokes!

So the next time you find yourself drifting off and fantasizing about the Hereafter when Fard & his Legion of Superhuman’s comes back to slay the fire-breathing Dragonfaced White Man, save “The Believers” and make a pork free Universe, get a grip! You have the right to believe that, but as the 18th Lesson in the 1-40’s 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”. As a “said person of that ability” (20th Lesson, 1-40’s) it’s our proactive responsibility to make things happen right now and be clear that “There is no Mystery God” (10th Lesson, 1-40’s) that’s gonna do it, not Fard, Elijah, my Momma or my child, ME! While it is respectfully critical to acknowledge Allah (Universal Mind/Consciousness) that “came in the person” of Master Fard Muhammad, it is essential that we grow in the understanding that the Black Man “is” Allah (Universal Mind/Consciousness)! It’s all in your Supreme Wisdom (120 Lessons) just take a moment to look! And oh yeah, True Master’s produce Grand Masters!!!!

Build -THE EGO- Destroy

I’ve had Knowledge of Self (or 120 Lessons) for alittle over a decade and I’ve grown with this as this has definitely grown with me. One of the things that has helped my truly grow and develop as a man is “Checking my Ego”! Coming into the Knowledge of your own God-centeredness can really give you overzealous ideas of grandeur. I remember the times I was always “saying” the Blackman is God, outta context like a muthafucka’! It was an EGO thing. I remember building until nigga’s would pass the fuck out! Man, the EGO is something else and if not put in it’s proper place you become like a time bomb, waiting to blow yourself up and everything around you. Yacub didn’t necessarily have a Big Head literally! Yacub had a Big Ass EGO, and he had that shit down to a Science! Because of that (among other things) he’s credited with being the Father of the Devil and it’s definitely a lesson to be learned from that! Let me elaborate.. .

Anyway, the reason I come off so cynical, controversial and practically down to Earth is because through maturity I’ve learned to check my EGO. I’ve done this systematically (through Shamanistic techniques used to de-structure the EGO) and when I had to deal with life on life’s terms! I’m not saying that those who don’t come off like I do don’t have their EGO in check, I’m just saying that this is the way that I express it. My unique experiences have forged my identity and I’m grateful that I’ve kept two feet on the ground in the process! Identifying yourself as The Creator can become a form of Intellectual Masturbation (of which I’ve done quite a bit!!) and this self stimulation can always be ascribed to an unchecked EGO!

Now, for those of you who are not active members of the NGE (Nation of Gods and Earths). Don’t think that you have the right to regurgitate what I say as if it’s “the way it is” in regards to my Nation. I have the right to say what I say because I am a qualified “said person of that ability”. I am on the inside often speaking about what’s going on in “different places” in the inside. There is always another perspective or side to the story, this is just my perspective. There are many so-called God’s that are strait up asshole’s, niggas that be on some shit and using the name of God to shield they dirty ass ways and actions. There are also many true & living Gods who actually live principled lives and are exemplary in their expression of this Culture! There are also bitches wit they heads wrapped-up saying they the Earth but be really just taking advantage of brothers who look at them as Queen’s. You also got true Queens who are truthful and sincere, who modestly bring out the best in themselves and their family!

Sometimes I take the more “controversial” perspective because our people (NGE) don’t always speak on these things openly. I actually see it as not only therapeutic but also as a breath of fresh air. Part of my duty as a Civilized person is to help people see that just because I’m God-centered doesn’t mean that I ain’t got problems! Shit, the only difference is that I use mathematical formulas to solve my problems. My Articles are plain, digestible and never above the people’s head! At the end of the day I want people to be comfortable enough to be amongst me as they are, not feeling like I’m the muthafuckin’ Thought Police or that I’m judging them like they being weighed on the Scales of Maat! I mean sometimes we as “God” can really come off real anal like that! I try to destroy this idol, icon or archetypical model of The Creator every chance I get!

Why do I take this approach? I’ve learned from experience not to build myself up or allow people to build me up because it often opens up the opportunity to establish false expectations of who I am, especially when people are coming from a Mythological Perspective of what God is. People will begin to expect you not to enjoy sex, not take a shit, play Xbox 360 or work in a factory! I personally don’t get a hard-on if people look at me all starry eyed, the shit actually turns me off and I use “Normalcy” as a method of humbling myself so that others don’t have to humble me. Hey, my Ole’ Earth was a Psychologist so there are many cognitive tactics I’ve learned that has given me the flexibility to functionally exist in this Society without falling victim to it! Because of it I also see a lot of tools that people are missing in their tool chest.

As I mentioned earlier, when I was going through my Shaman Apprenticeship I used systemized techniques to de-structure the EGO. Basically this means “learning to fall on your face” to accustom yourself to the EGO shattering falls we go through in life or when people try to trip you! The idea is to use these techniques as a sober entrance into the unknown to minimize and psychologically prepare yourself for situations when your catapulted into the unknown. Some of the techniques I used were; living homeless (both willingly & unwillingly), playing Mute for 3 months on a job until I left, playing deaf for a year on a College Campus, having my daughters push me around in a wheelchair at the mall, wearing only all black for a year, eating 1 meal every other day for 3 months, and never showing my hair for 1 ½ years. In Shamanism these EGO de-structuring techniques are used as a method called “Stalking”. Stalking can be interpreted in the context of “The prey stalking the predator”. Hunting is a system of stalking the routines of potential prey, but in the process, the Hunter him/herself is establishing their own routines. It’s like a proud Hunter waiting in the bush for the Jaguar to appear at the waterhole while the Jaguar sits quietly crouched in the tree above him! A good analogy of this is the movie “Predator”. Shamans say that these psychologically elusive EGO de-structuring techniques allows one to shapeshift into a Mystical Animal. Mystical Animals are classified as animals undetected by the naked eye such as unicorns, dragons, griffins or any other types of animals who have “untraceable routines”, too elusive for any hunter to trap! The key phrase is “untraceable routines too elusive for any hunter to trap”!

Through the use of certain EGO de-structuring techniques, a person strengthens themselves to become almost infallible to the mind games, button pushing, and bullshit that people often try to “trap” you up in! Traps that are always based upon your “routines” they observed! Now stop for a second and think about this, some of the things we do and hold fast to are actuality just EGO-centered forms of the predatory vulnerability, that’s why a person can “routinely” fuck with you! Pay attention to those around you! If some people get the impression that you are zealously serious about your “Attribute” they will deliberately and consistently but so-called mistakenly call you Johnny or Michele! If you walking around like you got a “DON’T EAT PORK” shirt on, people will make you a chittlin’ pie for your birthday! I knew a Wiz that I got a good paying job at the Casino but she didn’t know how to talk to white people. She was always agitated and these muthafucka’s knew it too. Needless to say, she didn’t last a year there. There was an incident where she blew up on this white girl, walked off the job and didn’t come back. This was two years ago and she still hasn’t bounced back financially, which consequently means supporting her three children! I showed her the tools but she didn’t want to use them (9th Degree/1-40’s) so these Devils set it up to look like a case of Self Sabotage! That’s the type of predatory vulnerability I’m talking about!

I say all this to say what? The EGO can be a tool that allows us to Build or it can be turned into a weapon that Destroys us! Along my path I have gone through the systematic process of putting my EGO in check. I’ve tried to laugh at myself before I’ve given people the privilege of doing so. I’ve embarrassed myself before people can embarrass me, and I’ve pushed my own buttons before someone had the pleasure of pushing them for me! Now don’t get me wrong, this hasn’t always been the case. I’ve learned a lot of these things through direct experience (bumps & bruises!) and I’m not where I would like to be yet! There’s still things that really pisses me off and I’m sure you can tell by my Articles, b.u.t. I’m working through it. It’s a Journey not a destination.

The Quest for "Authentic" Islam

The 9th Degree in our Student Enrollment states in it's answer, “The Lost Found Nation of Islam has no said birth record, it has no beginning nor an ending, it’s older than the Sun, Moon and Stars”. This statement alone tells us that Islam didn’t originate in the Koran, Prophet Muhammad or Arabic Culture. Islam (PEACE) is beyond all of this, therefore, Islam is not simply about how much Koran you can recite or Arabian you can look. Knowing the Koran is a plus but you damn sure don’t gotta be Arabian! I’m saying this because many people throughout the world think they are living Islamic Principles when all they’re doing is copying Arabic Culture. The concept of Islam (PEACE) always existed. Prophet Muhammad of 1400 years ago only recited this concept of “Peace” to Arabian Tribes, in Arabia using Arabian Culture/Customs and Arabic Language as the vehicle. Sometimes people confuse this vehicle with the destination! Prophet Muhammad used a methodology to reach the people from the specific language, customs, sociopolitical status, and geography familiar to them. It was already hard for Muhammad and those was his people, imagine the type of response he would have received if he came as a strait up foreigner? It never was a Mystery to me why Master Fard Muhammad “raised-up” one from amongst us and then bounced without a trace! Shit, Elijah spoke the language of many of our people! He had a “moonshine drinking” lead belly, swore by the blues, ate swine like it was going outta style, and probably couldn’t spell the word Islam. When Fard was asking Elijah Muhammad them questions that comprise our Lessons (Supreme Wisdom), he was definitely learning in the process! Elijah put him down about a lot of things and in the process, he learned what Fard saw from the outside looking in! Fard may have moved undetected amongst White People but in Black Bottom, Mi he stood out like a sore thumb! And you know women was feelin’ him like Michael Jackson when his Thriller album dropped! Yo’ let me stop, I’ll build about Fard “The Man, the Myth, the Magik” another time!!

Now, back to what I was dealing with originally. Many Arabian People try to claim Islam as if they created it. As if because you don’t speak fluent Arabic, you don’t have a Grizzly Adams beard, or your woman ain’t cloaked like a ninja that it’s not “authentic” Islam! That is just as ignorant and ass backwards as the belief that “muslim’s are terrorists!”. Arabian Culture/Customs is not Islam! Islam can however be expressed through Arabian Culture, just like in any Culture. But I must mention that there may be some Cultural Traditions that are not compatible with Islamic Principles. For example, American Culture teaches that homosexuality is simply an “Alternative lifestyle” while Islamic Principles teach that this defies the Natural Law of Gender. In cases such as this, the question always arises, “How can this situation be rectified, individually and collectively”?

Culture not only establishes identity but Culture serves the purpose of solving problems, solidifying principles, protecting/preserving interests and ascertaining individual/collective goals. Therefore, regardless of the Principles (Islamic or etc..), Culture serves as the synthesizing driving force to implement them. The problem tht many Arabian Muslims had and have with Muslims in the NOI during the early 1930’s up to the present date is not a question of “Principality”, it’s really a question about the politics of Cultural Assimilation!

Still don’t get it? Well check this out, people were only feelin’ East Coast Rap until West Coast Rap came out. We ain’t except that shit at first because the rhythm, cadence, slag, clothing and subject matter was so different, even though it was “still rap”! Eventually we understood and the same shit happened when Cat’s started rappin’ in the South. We was like “hell naw, that shit is really wack, nigga’s is on some clown shit”! Eventually we learned (some of us!) to embrace their “style” too. The key word is “style”. I think that when you look a brothers like Common, Rakim, Ras Kass, and Speech, they all may have different “styles” and reside in different geographic locations but it’s safe to say that they all represent a common spiritual centeredness and conscious perspective of the world! I’m just saying that they all are at least saying something no matter where they from! Is it fair to say that since this oral tradition called “Rap” resurfaced in New York during the early 1970’s that everybody who wants to “Rap” need to do exactly what cats in New York do? That sound’s real stupid! Of course their should be a sense of recognizing the formal chronology of how Rap evolved from both it’s ancient oral tradition and it’s more contemporary form but to say that it ain’t “authentic” if niggas don’t sound like Melle Mel or dress like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five is some bullshit! That’s just how ignorant people sound and look when they trying to accuse people of being on some “Haraam” shit because they would rather rock Tims instead of leather shoes, a hoodie and jeans instead of a sheet and a fresh line-up instead of a Grizzly Adam’s beard! On the flip side I also don’t think people in the NOI should insinuate that a brother isn’t “Civilized” because they not rockin' a Romanesque styled bald face! To me, both idea’s are too generalized and extreme.

One of the reasons that Elijah Muhammad is Most Honorable is because he taught strait up “Nigga’s” Islam in Black Bottom Detroit, MI, during the Great Depression with a 3rd grade eja-macation! Not Arabic Culture, but Islamic Principles that existed before there was even a place called Arabia!! So my Muslim brothers and sisters here in the Wilderness of North America, don’t let muthafuckas’ try to make you feel guilty because you breakin’ fast with a pot of Collard Greens & Turkey Tails! At least your Principles would never allow you to warehouse a Corner Store with “Pork” and “Alcohol” and distribute that shit to the families in ya’ Community! And to you Holier than thou Orthodox Muslims from the East, ya’ll family too but please season ya’ Koran & Hadith quotin’ with alittle common sense. Just because your home grown Arabian children have learned to express Islam in a North American context from pant saggin’ Urban Sufi’s doesn’t mean that it ain’t “authentic”! Don’t let this White Supremist Society and your Caucasian Ancestry deceive you because it was the Prophet Muhammad who said that when he ascended to Heaven Ali’s black ass was already there!

-FASTING-

I’ve presently embarked on a Fast. Right now I am getting through my 4th day of just drinking Spring Water. I haven’t had any strong food cravings as of yet but two days ago I was irritated quite a bit later on in the afternoon. All I can say is the Universal Mind has an incredible sense of humor. I felt like a Medium who was able to detect “asshole” orb’s! People was really getting’ on my damn nerves! Right now I’m strait, toxin’s just flooding my system so I’m alittle lethargic, other than that I’m Peace and starting to get the clarity that Fasting brings.

My Benefactor (Enlightener) said that Fasting is like lockin’ a Ravenous Ass Beast in the muthafuckin’ basement! The first few day’s it’s savagely clawing at the door, snarling and barking for food but as time passes your able to tame it! For the past year I’ve been primarily eating one meal a day, so I’m sure this has helped me tame (Civilize) “The Beast”. So it ain’t like I eat a big ass breakfast, a small sub & chicken wings for lunch and then buat down some steak & potatoes for dinner before punishing my body with Fasting! I’m used to eating a small meal at the Knowledge (1) Hour so it’s not really extreme. The main reason for this Fast is not necessarily physical even though I’ll get the physiological benefits. This was more on some Metaphysical, Renew my Koran, Make changes type of current.

Now here’s the “meat” of this article (pun intended!). Change is always difficult when the timing isn’t proper. Each thought we think, words we speak and move we make takes energy! All of us have our own energy or like my Benefactor calls it “Metaphysical Economy”. Based upon our inventory of energy, this will determine what we will and won’t do. Time Management is essentially Energy Management. Sometimes we find ourselves “spreading ourselves too thin” and this only means that we misappropriated our energy! Right now wherever you may be, if faced with the immediate challenge of jogging 5 miles non stop, realize that it’s not a question of “if” you can do it! This generally is a question of “if you have the available energy”! I mean even if you have one leg it still can’t be reasoned as “I can’t” because Terry Fox hobbled 3,339 miles across Canada and into our little hearts in 1980! There are some exceptions but for the most part, most people actually can but instead of perceiving it as a question of available energy they simply say “I can’t”! Most of us learned this jewel in Kindergarten that saying “I can’t” puts a limitation of your latent, unperceived ability. To reminisce for as moment, When I was in first grade I wrote a love letter to this Wiz and took it to her by the pencil sharpener and she stood there, read it and ripped that shit up right in front of my face (and in front of other kids!). That had me fucked up for a while but she became my girlfriend in 6 grade (yeah, I know “No all the prophets have tried and have agreed.. .”!), and later in life I went on to successfully have two beautiful daughters by a dime piece (yeah, I know too, “they believe in the 10% on face value”!). The point is, because I was instinctively aware of my infinite potential, I didn’t let the idea of “I can’t” stop me!

Sometimes instinct (or will) is not enough. Sometimes we simply need the energy to make it happen. To maximize our ability to transcend the mental challenge of “I can’t” whether it exists inside of our own mind or outside of us, we need to have the available energy, and Fasting is a good way to re-up! If you want to cut that nigga off, Fast on his muthafukin’ ass! If you want to save some cream ($) to invest in something, Fast from spending your cream on shit you don’t really need! You’ll have an abundance of energy to make something happen! In Shamanism (my Major Science), it’s called severing the chains of personal attachment and reorganizing your field of energy. One way you do this is by performing “not-doings”, basically using a systematic method of not investing your time & energy into the everyday routines that consume most of your energy. In laymen’s terms, people say they want change but continue to think, talk and walk the same way! In order to do this you must first take an inventory of your energy. Find out what you spend most of your energy doing and then you can devise a proper method to break yourself. For example, if you can honestly see that you spend a lot of time running off at the mouth (you say your “building”) but wonder why you aren’t having the effective change upon your life or those around you focus more of your energy and time in non-verbally communicated what you want to see happen! "Just do it" and make sure that the energy you usually used to run ya' mouth with is redirected into doing something. In our way of life we symbolically say that Light (186,000 miles per sec.) travels faster than Sound (1,120 ft. per sec.)! You’ll be amazed at how many “hours” you free up just from shuttin’ the hell up sometimes! See, Shaman’s are Metaphysical Alchemist’s who consistently assess their inventory of energy in order to achieve different levels of consciousness and livelihood. Fasting is often a very big part of this because your storing the energy that was previously used for the digestive process and rerouting it into other areas. Oh yeah, I’m just building primarily about a basic Fast when you abstain from food. Fasts like Liver Cleanse Fasts, Sex Fasts and anything other than that is a whole different “Beast”!

To conclude, I want to encourage ya’ll to use Fasting as a method to bring forth Transfiguration! Fasting gives you the energy to do it so it’s a perfect opportunity to manifest change in ya' life. And oh’ yeah, make sure you keep a tight lock on the door for that muthafuckin’ Beast in ya’ Basement!

"The Science of EVERYTHING in Life"

Peace! I hope you enjoyed my last article I posted about "Venus is 67,000,000 miles from the Sun". Many Gods & Earths overlook some of the "unassuming" Lessons that we have and short change themselves from acquiring some very valuable learning tools that apply to life. Mathematics is more than doing simple addition tricks with alpha-numeric concepts, it’s a Mathematical Theology from a God-Centered perspective that permeates all aspects of our way of life. Most of the time this is non-verbally communicated. Now let me give you some insight into some thought's I've been dealing with lately:

Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin- First I would like to meditate for a moment on my main man Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" Irwin! A true Conservationist and a person who knew his calling in life! You can definately tell that he loved his Profession and he gave people the opportunity to learn and appreciate many value lessons about the Animal Kingdom. I was sad to hear that he returned to the essence and I encourage you to take the time to check out some of his shows that have been airing on Animal Planet.

The 5% Album by Lord Jamar- I’ve been listening to it and I think it serves a good purpose for the youth. If they can quote Chris Brown, Young Joc, and other Artists then they can learn to quote Lord Jamar too. At least in the long run it will be useful when they grow to understand what they’ve been programmed to think! On the flip side, I’ve been thinking about the "Commercialization" of our Culture. Also the fact that he had someone like Sadat X. on a song called "Study your Lessons" which I’m skeptical about! Well, if Sadat doesn’t know his Lessons I feel bad for him if he comes in tune with the Gods because they will "bomb him" (correct him) about it along with the fact that he has an "X" at the end of his name! This is because The Nation of Gods and Earths is very critical and guarded about our way of life. The reason something like an album or even book hasn’t been done is not because nobody could do it. The reason is because we place high regard for doing impeccable research and being right & exact! The slightest misinformation puts you in "the boy that cried wolf" category until shown & proven otherwise! The Number 1 being symbolic to Knowledge speaks for itself!

HipHop Festival 2006- On the 19th of August I participated in our Annual HipHop Festival as a Volunteer and also by doing a Workshop entitled "Word iz Bond". It was Peace and I had the opportunity to build with about 30 youth ages 7-16 about the value of words and how people make themselves rich from our ignorance. One thing that really got them going is when I explained that many Professions are based upon your ignorance such as Auto Mechanic’s, Doctor’s, Lawyer’s and also Ministers! I built about how if you knew what they knew then you wouldn’t have to go to them or pay them to do what you could do yourself. I emphasized that the more knowledge you gain the more self sufficient you become and the less people can take advantage of you because your not ignorant. Now the highlight of the Festival was "Roxanne Shante" who spoke for about an hour. She was droppin’ jewels and I’m sure everybody got alot out of what she built upon which was various subjects that related to our concept of Love, Hell or Right. Love, Hell or Right basically means: The things that you commit to with your heart go through circumstances of temperance & purification to determine if it’s just and true.

The Color of the Cross- Check out this link to: "The Color of the Cross". It’s a movie coming out in the Autumn about Jesus and it’s played by a Black Man! Not no swarthy olive complexioned Semitic looking Man but a strait up thick lipped, dark-skinned wooly haired "Black" Man. Mary and other characters are Black too and it’s definitely gonna create some dialogue and have a dynamic impact upon America. I already know how many Caucasians are going to react I’m just waiting for these apologetic, uncle tom ass church negroes to come out talking that "It doesn’t matter" bullshit because they’re afraid to upset Massah’! One of my people even predicted a boycott of the movie spearheaded by these ignorant muthafucka’s and exacerbated by their Caucasian "Financer’s"! All I can say is it’s gonna be beautiful to see and at the same time sickening when we start to see our own people shooting it down!! For those who know the real, there will be only so many ignorant conversations that you’ll be able to turn a deaf ear to before you need to set the record strait, so be prepared to bomb a muthafucka’ out the frame (with a smile & civilized sensibility of course!).

Unknown- The Wisdom of any/all Culture(s) is indicative of it’s ability to minimize "Unknown’s" that present themselves along the course of a person’s life and solve problems. In symbolic language 2=Wisdom, 4=Culture and the 24th Letter in our Supreme Alphabet is "X" (the "Unknown"). As I get older I find myself consolidating, economizing and preserving my time, energy and resources better! Through discernment (Wisdom) and implementing this way of life (Culture) I have been able to effectively sidestep "it’s always something" types of situations (the "Unknown")! If the Culture you live (yes your religion is an expression of it!) is like faulty Acme Products Wile E. Coyote uses then you need to think about investing in something that works. It’s nothing worst then seeing people foolishly using methodologies that died 2,000 years ago simply because it’s a so-called "Tradition". Fool, at one point in our chronology that shit was actually "Innovative" and not Traditional! That’s very unwise and in the process they evoke an entire array of unknown’s that can only be solved using modern methodologies because these unknown’s exist in a contemporary context! This is the sole reason that People get old because they’re weathered by the life that constantly changes (evolves) around them!

The Nation of Gods and Earths- I haven’t been amongst a "General" body of Gods and Earths for quite some time and I definitely enjoy the Peace of mind from being around some of the bullshit "Religiosity" I see people dealing with. Many of the God’s from my Family Tree are very introspective about living this Culture and I’ve grown to see why. Part of the reason is the fact that many Gods & Earths mistake talking for teaching. As I’ve mentioned earlier, our Culture is primarily "non-verbally communicated". Just because a person quotes Lessons backwards & forwards, may have walked with this Older God/Earth, can recite the history of The Father, or has had 120 Lessons for 20 years doesn’t validate you in my eyes! That's the way I was taught, my Enlightener was taught, his Enlightener was taught and so forth. If your life doesn’t express what "you claim you know" then you on some strait-up bullshit and I don’t have time to get together with a bunch of fake muthafucka’s who want to boost they Ego! Shit I could go to church for that! When I see "MY" Culture that is supposed to be Free lived out Fanatically Religious and Grossly Nationalistic it turns me (and other’s) off! I don’t even want to be around no shit like that! When all the talk has ceased and we are finished espousing our "Self Styled Wisdom" what’s left Gods and Earths? An image of either Righteousness or Devilishment!

PEACE
