The Hulk Jump-offs!!

A Wurd frum ya Sponser

Peace Ya’ll! First and foremost I wanna thank all of you who take the time to read/research the things I build about in these Articles. A.S.I.A. Journal is designed to provoke thought, inspire action, educate and of course entertain! -smile- In the process, I know and accept that I am exposing myself to both sides of the perceptual spectrum; those who support what I’m doing 100% and those who get rocks in their jaws every time I write something. Well, if I spark something in you along the way, that’s Peace. If I don’t, then at least you’ll still have something to think about that may prove to be helpful to you or maybe even your child(ren)s future. Anyway, in Today’s Article I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts on various sciences of life:

The Jerk & Kanye Westism
If you’ve never ceen this, go here: Jerkin . This is the newest dance sweeping the Nation called “The Jerk”. The Jerk Dance is not some new age ‘Steve Irkel’ shit neither. At first when I saw dudes rockin tight ass pants I wasn’t as critical because in the late 1970’s and early 80’s HipHop Era we were wearing the same kinda breeches. The difference is that back in the day we didn’t go out and specifically look for no tight ass pants; that’s all we really had to wear! Back then we had a name for males who went out and specifically bought some tight pants. Today, dudes are going out to buy tight ass pants and masking it under the classification of so-called “fitted jeans”. Jerkin is considered a Culture and is a combination of various elements such as tight-ass rock/punk rock gear, skate boarding, graffiti, krumpin’, metrosexuality, 80’s HipHop sneakers wit fat laces, etc… This my friends are major components of what I call ‘Kanye Westism’. From the perspective of a Music Producer, I definitely like alot of the music Kanye produces. Like many of us who appreciated his integrity as an Artist, when I saw him beginning to “stray away from HipHopivilization” (7/1-14) I started to look at him sideways. What did it for me is his Egocentric quote in Vibe about how he’s arguably the best rapper of his generation; that big headed Scientist shit really made it clearer to me that he was in the process of “making the Devil” (25/1-40). As Kanye digressed into this quasi-pop icon, he became the band leader to bringing a new wave of ‘black androgyny’ back into style. I compare it to the early 80’s Prince and Rockstar ‘androgynous’ eyeliner look. Sadly, our youth are openly being invited to this freak show through mixed sexual messages. The shit is so bad, they often have a hard time distinguishing what’s naturally male and female! -shakes head- Now there are many of our youth aren’t having this bullshit b.u.t. as the 10% “continue daily to teach” (13/1-40) the youth that these behaviors are alright, they’re eventually going to start looking at these behaviors like they’re not so bad. You ever hear a song on the radio for the first time and though to yourself, “That shit is garbage! I hate that song!”, b.u.t. as you continue to hear the song over and over again you begin to think, “It’s not that bad.”? Well the same thing is going on with our youth. Remember the picture of Lil Wayne kissing Bird Man on the lips?! I showed youth in my Program the actual picture and because “they like” (6/1-36) Lil Wayne they did everything “within their power” (40/1-40) to defend what Lil Wayne was doing! -shakes head- I’ma tell you, it really hurt my heart to cee how misled our youth are! Anyway, a good way to keep a pulse on ‘85 Activity’ and ‘Slave from a Mental Death Initiatives’ is to go to the Website Media Takeout. Media Takeout is a premiere Website for news dealing with Original People (Celebrities in particular) and various National/International trends that effect Original People. Amy motto is: If the 10% “continues daily to teach” (13/1-40) our youth that this confusion is alright, we also got to “continue daily to teach” them that it’s not! If we don’t do our duty, many of our youth will continue being “easily led” (14/1-40) into acultural deathstyles (not lifestyles) by default, simply because we never helped give them any rational options.

Syracuse Orangemen (Johnny Flynn & Paul Harris)
Those of you who keep up with College Hoops may be familiar with the NBA Bound Syracuse Basketball Stars Johnny Flynn and Paul Harris. Well both of them are from Atlantis and I’ve known them since they were children playing in Biddy Basketball Leagues. I have yet to meet someone in my City who aren’t proudly rooting for these young Brothas making “The League” and the spirit of encouragement has been phenomenal! The beauty in all of this is the fact that they both come from completely different households and socioeconomic backgrounds b.u.t. both find themselves at the door of the NBA. This within itself has been very inspiring and is leaving a powerful impression on the minds of the youth who’re witnessing this! I’m incredibly proud of both Johnny and Paul because they’re giving the youth a tangible example of achieving one’s goals; regardless what circumstances you go through to get there! Integrity, staying power and mental toughness are all valuable lessons our youth within my Community are learning through these Brothas!

NGE Hedonism & God/Earthly Etiquette
By all of the responses I’ve been receiving about the NGE Codes of Conduct Article, I think I’m really on to something! Some people have been letting me know how pleased they are to hear this subject articulated and opened up for honest discussion, while others have gotten upset and started to head for the “hills” (4/1-14)! -shrugs- I think that regardless of how we feel about it, whether positive or negative, it’s important that we seriously begin to examine & reexamine how we choose to Culturally Conduct ourselves. Those who agree with me realize that examining our Codes of Conduct is a fundamental part of our growth and development. Those who don’t agree either don’t understand the basic relationship between what they think, what they say and how they behave or they simply don’t want to discuss Codes of Conduct because they know it’ll conflict with what they “feel like” doing; and what they feel like doing isn’t up for any discussion! -smirk- Ultimately, it’s my intention to encourage people to begin looking past the Ego strokes, NGE Regalia, colorful names, name droppin, mathematical tricks, pissin contests and proficient Lesson quotin to cee what we are reaaaaally doing! Our Codes of Conduct become our ‘customs’ and our customs born Social Norms/Mores. The reality is, before any God/Earth is introduced to Supreme Math, Supreme Alphabet and 120 Lessons, we lived according to Social Norms/Mores that have been customary to us our entire life -good, bad or indifferent. Just because we get/have Supreme Math, Supreme Alphabet and 120 Lessons, it doesn’t mean that we have actually developed certain God/Earthlike Social Norms/Mores. This culture isn’t like instant oatmeal either; it’s a life-long growth and development “process” we must dedicate our lives to. Many of us simply brought alittle too much 85er and Ten Percenter baggage with us into this Culture and seriously aren’t “trying to” (9/1-14) get rid of it. Alongside the many Gods and Earths who’re truly dedicated to growing and developing are individuals -and entire colonies- of NGE Hedonists who simply don’t cee Righteousness Principles, live out the Values we learn, and set God-Centered Priorities in their life. These people use Mathematics as a mode of pleasure seeking and adhere to the Acultural Worldview that they can do whatever they “feel like” doing when they “feel like” doing it. Freedom is Peace, b.u.t. the only thing questionable about this sense of Hedonistic ‘Freedom’ is a (s)lacking ‘Cultural’ Integrity that ultimately gives context to and justifies Freedom in the first place.

The other thing that comes to Mind is our “Etiquette”. Unbeknownst to many who claim NGE Citizenship, we do have and are consistently developing a system of “Etiquette”; certain social, professional and official behavioral forms that are prescribed and defined by our customs. Some of this Etiquette is basic and readily identifiable, such as: greeting another God and Earth with “Peace”. Many forms of Etiquette are not as obvious, such as: how a God should relate to a female who another God has been educating. Because many NGE forms of Etiquette aren’t that obvious, many Gods/Earths make them up as we go -and oftentimes don’t seek advice from other Gods/Earths when we’re unsure about a decision! Sometimes, as Gods/Earths, we don’t even care about forms of Etiquette and simply do whatever we want; regardless of the consequences. Ultimately, without developing more clear concise forms of Etiquette, Gods/Earths will continue to behave in ways that undermine the relationships “we say” we truly value. Gods and Earths also need to understand that there are other forms of Etiquette that helps define, preserve and perpetuate our Culture IN ADDITION TO basic customs like: building about Daily Mathematics, reciting Degrees, letting people know what Degrees we have, letting people know who educated us, expounding upon our Attribute, etc... There are also many customs that Gods/Earths have gleaned from Society, carried with us from da hood, borrowed from family members, got off t.v., learned in prison, picked up from a song, etc… that are the complete antithesis to the culture of The NGE or even basic Civilization! Now, I know some Gods/Earths are making objectives right now; assuming that I’m trying to advocate NOI-like Restrictive Laws for The NGE! LOL! Naaaaw ya’ll, what I’m advocating is that we learn to be a lot more culturally conscious and considerate about how we conduct ourselves, treat eachother and live out these “God-centered” Principles -we say we’re striving to represent! Without a sense of Etiquette we’ll continue to cee degenerate behavior IN THE NAME OF Gods and Earths.

The NRM (The Niagara Renaissance Movement)
I’ve been working with a group of approximately 20 Brothas of different ages and from various social, economic, religious backgrounds to found a Not-For-Profit Organization called The Niagara Renaissance Movement here in Atlantis. For those of you who’re unfamiliar with The Niagara Movement, it was founded 100 years ago here in Atlantis by a group of Black Community Organizers, Educators and Business Owners as a means to redefine the Paradigm of Black People -Men in particular- here in this Wilderness. This Group of Black Leaders were expressed the idea of gathering up ‘The Talented Tenth’ amongst the Black Population to manifest the foundation of this Movement. W.E.B. Dubois and William Trotter were a couple of the founding Members. In time, this Organization morphed into The NAACP. Anyway, we decided to build upon “some” of this Legacy and get some Brothas together to collectively take charge of our roles/responsibilities within the Atlantean Community. I’ve always been about this individually, b.u.t. it’s Peace to add on with other Brothas with the same “determined idea” (24/1-40). We’re still in the process of establishing our Executive Board, approving our Bylaws and our Mission Statement b.u.t we have established various Committees such as Green Technology, Economic Development and Tourism, Youth Empowerment, Arts & Culture, etc… I was voted in as the Youth Empowerment Chairman. Since we’ve been organizing, I’ve had the opportunity to secure Sponsors and Volunteers to help start a Spring Basketball League for youth ages 15-18. We had our Official Draft on 4/30 and 65 Youth have registered in our League. To participate in the League, the Players also have to be enrolled in either my ‘Passport to Manhood’ or “Game Plan’ Mentorship Programs. I’m also working on developing a Summer Youth Work Program, have Partnered with the State Parks Dept. to do a Camping Trip this Summer at Allegany State Park, and have been working on various other Projects for our Youth. I’ll continue to keep ya’ll informed about what’s going on!!

My 10th Anniversary
I recently celebrated my 10th Anniversary on April 23rd. A Decade ago I took the initiative of legally changing my Name to ‘Lord Saladin Quanaah’ Allah’ in accordance with the Civil ‘Name Change’ Laws and Statues of NYS. This is a very, very significant moment in my Koran because it’s a bold way of expressing my open allegiance to The NGE. Cee, the average person doesn’t need to know that I have 120 Lessons. I’ve had associations for the last 13 ½ years who don’t know anything formal about 120 Lessons; all they pretty much know is, “Saladin is good people, he’s not lazy, he’s always willing to help people out and he’s smart like a Teacher”! LMAO Now when it comes to my Name….that’s something that isn’t hidden, humble or remotely discreet; I literally come in the Name of Allah and it sets the foundation for all psycho-socioeconomic exchanges I have with people! Since my Name is different, sometimes it’s funny to cee peoples reactions when they’re confronted with it. Here’s a few reactions I often get when I come in contact with people who hear my Name ‘Sa-la-deeean’ LOL:

* A Christian wants to know am I one ov dem Moslems.
* A Muslim wants to know am I Muslim.
* A York Rite or Scottish Rite Freemason tries to pick my brain.
* An Older Person almost has a heart attack.
* A Female may look at me like a new flavor of ice cream.
* A child thinks it’s cool –especially when I tell them I changed it myself!
* A History Buff wants to talk about The Crusades.
* A Street Dude thinks it’s a “Street Name” until they find out it’s my legal name.
* Some Family Members accept & respect it.
* Some Family Members “uncomfortably” accept it.
* Some Family Members “uncomfortably” avoid it.
* A Person wants to know what my “real” name is.
* A White Person feels intimidated because I don’t have a name like them.
* A Black Person feels intimidated because I don’t have a name like them.
* People try to get away with shortening it because they complain that it’s toooo long to pronounce; it’s more than one or two syllables.

Naw, literally coming “In the Name of Allah” doesn’t make me b.u.t. it does give me a psychological edge in many situations dealing with people who of course “..do not try to learn….” Because “They believe…on face value.” (13/1-40). On the most basic level, when I got Knowledge of myself, I no longer identified with a birth name that was mentally, emotionally and physically “buried there” (5/1-14). On a physiological level, my body doesn’t even respond to my birth name anymore and that’s some deep shit! Anyway, I’ve been using this proud milestone as a platform to reeducate people about the science of my Name and to draw attention to that Surah in my Koran.

Peace!

Understanding

Peace Ya’ll! Sometimes I get alittle cranky with my Math and I’m sure many of you have read this through “some” of my Articles. Although this may be the case, I never talk just to talk; which a lot of Gods/Earths unfortunately do. For shits and giggles I refer to them as Front Porch Philosophers or Street Corner Scientists! LOL As I’ve said time and time again; ‘Light’ (9/Actual Facts) travels a lot faster than ‘Sound’ (8/Actual Facts), so whatever we’re actually doing will always be more visible than what we’re saying. The good thing about this is the fact that once the sound dissipates, there is always evidence (residue) laying around to corroborate or invalidate our word! -grin- That’s “word is bond and bond is life” (11/1-14), and if you don’t cee someone’s ‘word’ active in their ‘life’ then you know for a fact that there is no bond or living commitment to what they’re actually saying -for whatever reason. I added the words ‘for whatever reason’ because it’s also important to understand that sometimes people may not have the available resources, finances or energy to commit (bond) to something they’re talking about at the present time. So simply because someone’s ‘word’ isn’t presently active in their ‘life’ doesn’t mean they’re automatically bullshitting! They might just be dealin wit some bullshit and our assumption(s) may be adding more bullshit to the equation! -shakes head- This “might” actually be the case! -shrugs- Some may protest by saying, “Well don’t give your word then!” Well that’s true in some cases b.u.t. ALL OF US confront situations where we gotta deal with life on life’s terms; especially in a Wilderness! What I mean by ‘life on life’s terms’ is, sometimes other pressing issues come up that demand our immediate attention. Some people may then unreasonably argue, “Well at least let somebody know! Damn!” Well that’s also true in some cases, b.u.t. sometimes you may not even have an opportunity to do that; there is such a thing as Inclement Psychological, Social and/or Financial Weather people! LOL! I’m mentioning all of this to give you an overview of Today’s Article; Understanding.

(9/1-40) Why does the Devil teach the 85% that a Mystery God brings all this?

To conceal the True and Living God who is the Sun of Man, and to make slaves out of 85% by keeping them worshipping that which they cannot see (invisible), and he makes himself rich from their labor. The 85% knows that it rains, hails, snows and also hears thunder above their heads but do not try to learn who is causing all this to happen by letting the 5% teach them. They believe in the 10% on face value.

“They believe…on face value.” (9/1-40) is an urge we all need to go to war with each and every day! Why? Because it can be a distortion of what we’re actually ceeing. Also, Society itself “continues daily to teach” (13/1-40) us to be surface dwellers; to take things on face value. Sometimes situations are transparent like that and we’re ceeing exactly what we’re getting, b.u.t. sometimes we’re overlooking ‘The Devil in the Details’! -shakes head- Ultimately, taking things on face value never works in the best interest of someone who “doesn’t believe in the teachings of the 10%, who is allwise and knows…” (16/1-40). Don’t misunderstand me now, I’m not encouraging people to have trust issues and surveillance everything that comes outta somebody’s mouth. What I am saying is this: Don’t just take shit to the head; the bullshit you tell yourself or the shit you hear -if you can actually recognize it! Wait until the dust settles and then speak on something because what you say outta your mouth manifests how you cee (understand) it! We often say “Understanding is the Best Part” right? Well ‘Understanding IS the Best Part’ because how a person honestly understands (cees) something expresses ‘The Best Part’ of what we need to actually Know (1) about their words, ways and actions (2); a direct representation of some of their Worldview; their Core Values, Principles and Priorities -or lack thereof!

Take for example a person who’s always drawing shit up like “People always hating on ‘em.” True indeed, some people may be jealous here or there b.u.t. for that person to always fixate on haters tells you a great deal about the lens they’re ceeing this shit out of! Another example is the Conspiracy Theorist who’s always under the impression that someone is out to try to get ‘em. There’s something to be said about that type of schizophrenia and why they ‘believe’ someone always has it in for “them”, personally. What about the people who always has some kinda drama going on around them; friends shuffle around them like a game of scrabble and the only relationship they’ve been able to maintain for “years, months and days” (36/1-40) is the relationship with their own self importance. -smirk- The point I’m making is that the ‘Understanding (3) is indeed the Best Part’ and how a person cees something gives you a pre-view of their way of life (Culture: 4). This also sets the stage for the Power (5) struggles you’ll cee them go through and the power struggles you’ll have to go through when you deal with a person like this. YES, all of this can be deducted from how we honestly draw shit up! So, if a female tells you how she dealt with her Enlightener, Husband or Child(ren’s) Father when “she felt like” he was treating her unfairly, what does that tell you?! Consider what she saw was ‘appropriate’ or ‘what she was willing to do’ in these situations when shit got rough because this will ultimately tell you what she’s made out of; Understanding is the Best Part right?! THIS DOES NOT MEAN she’ll do the same thing(s) to you, b.u.t. at least you’ll know some of her potential; wrong or right! This also goes for females too! If a dude seems to always have a sob story about how the world/people don’t appreciate him, can’t maintain a relationship with people and goes out of his way to prove how great he is while directly/indirectly discrediting others, what is this telling you sweetheart? Consider watching Spiderman 3, and NO THIS DOES NOT MEAN that you’ll have to deal with the ‘Dark Side’ of Peter Parker, b.u.t. it does show you his susceptibility to becoming ‘Venom’ (pun intended)….and eventually spawning Carnage.

Cee, sometimes we talk about -and know- haters so well because we’re a card carrying member of the Club! Sometimes we always have drama going on around us because we’re always “in the middle” of the shit! Sometimes we feel like other people are out to get us because we secretly feel like we deserve it -for whatever reason(s). Sometimes we systematically sabotage relationships, goals and strait up good news because our low/vacant self esteem tells us we don’t deserve it! SOMETIMES what we cee is what we wanna cee because it numbs the sting/stench of what we presently are, SOMETIMES! People, we are our own worst enemies and until we honestly take responsibility for -AND CEE- the worst Devils living inside of us, everything else we cee will be a lame-ass distortion, EVERYTHING! Now don’t misunderstand me, I’m not encouraging you to beat yourselves up about things you’re dealing with, I’m encouraging you to stump a mudhole in ya Devils ass! LOL!

Cee, I’m not the kinda God who’ll continuously give you a bullet list build of what I’m doing or have done. I don’t engage in Enlightener Pissing Contests and I have never entered a National Name Dropping Competition. The reason why I choose to carry my Math the way that I do is because I respect a person’s freedom to cee me for themselves; “undiluted, mixed or tampered with” (9/1-14) from what I wanna prove to them! If a person is stupid enough to “assume” (take shit “on face value”: 9/1-40) what I am/or ain’t doing -without doing the actual research themselves, then they don’t deserve to have a relationship with me in the first place; they’ve already botched the “prescribed law(s)” to have that “said ability” (20/1-40). -shrugs- By me having the posture and taking the approach of not making mention of myself, I leave a person to their own devices. Therefore, they “qualify or disqualify” (28/1-40) themselves based upon their own understanding, or lack thereof. If you notice, “…one of our Righteous Brothers by the name of Jesus” (5/1-14) had the same posture and took the same approach towards people. Jesus’ attitude was like, “Those who cee me will cee me. If you don’t cee me, you don’t cee me and I’m not going outta my way to perform miracles to prove to you who I am. Besides, it ain’t about me anyway, it’s all about you!” Another thing to consider is the fact that the main person begging Jesus for a sign to prove himself was the Devil -and his flunkies. Now, this is not always the greatest approach because the downside to not making mention of yourself is that this silence can be used to propagate rumors that can lead to your crucifixion. NOW, I am not saying that the concept of “Show & Prove” is bullshit because it’s important that things are shown and proven to people. What I am saying is that your EGO neva needs to “Show & Prove” shit! LOL! And no, this build is not some EGOLESS EGO shit either. LOL! That EGOLESS EGO shit ain’t nothing b.u.t. a Boca Whopper for a portly Vegetarian.

To conclude Today’s Article I want to remind you to never “believe…on face value.” (9/1-40) how you or other people cee shit. Take time to examine how you’re thinking and what you choose to let come outta your mouth! When People communicate with eachother they’re exchanging perspectives; how they view something. When Gods/Earths build with eachother we commonly ask the question, “How do you cee that?”, “How are you drawing this up?” or “How do you cee Today’s Mathematics?” In all of these instances we ask eachother about ‘ceeing’; we’re sharing our Understanding. When we’re articulating how we understand (cee) something: Are we really paying attention? When someone else is articulating how they understand (cee) something: Are we really paying attention? Are we really considering the fact that what we cee is indicative of what we be, and what we be expresses some of our Core Values, Worldview and Principles we hold fast to “regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14)?! Even though this is undeniably the case, KEEP IN MIND that the way we cee something today doesn’t mean that we’ll always cee things that way. That’s what growth and development is all about; striving for perfection through sharpening the Mind’s Eye! As Understanding (3) is the Best Part, it reveals what we need to Know (1) about our own Words, Ways and Actions (2) and those of other people. In the final analysis, it’s as simple as A B C; Ah Be what I Cee; I be what I see! If we aren’t ceeing things “right & exact” (1/1-40) there’s always “a chance to…” (13/1-40) get a better understanding -if of course we’re really committed to striving for perfection.

Peace!

Michael and "The Don" Vito Corleone, Sonny, Fredo: From right to left

Codes of Conduct

Peace Ya’ll! About a year ago when I was in Power Hill visiting my Enlightener’s Enlightener ‘Life’, I had an opportunity to cee his Book of Life. For those of you who’re unfamiliar with a ‘Book of Life’, it’s a binder full of Lessons, Information, etc..; anything pertaining to growth & development. It’s a Book we start to compile once we agree to become a Student of a God/Earth. Well on this particular occasion Life let me look at this Plus Degree he wrote dealing with ‘Codes of Conduct’ within The NGE. His Degree dealt with how situations should be handled such as: When a God and Earth are no longer together, How to properly conduct Parliamentary Procedures, etc... This Degree has been very significant in my growth and development. When I asked Life what inspired him to write this Degree, he said that because he saw situations handled a certain way amongst Gods and Earths, there was a need to address this behavior from a Principled and Procedural angle (perspective). One of the things that I begin to really cee is how much of a variance there is between what we as Gods/Earths say and what we’re actually doing! Some of these variances are obvious, b.u.t. many of them are very subtle. Aside from the fact that we’re a young Nation and many of these variances are ‘youthful’ mistakes, many of us are just simply bringing acultural baggage with us into this Culture! Today I want to build with you about ‘Codes of Conduct’ within The NGE.

‘Codes of Conduct’ are inherent to living out the Culture of The NGE. A ‘Code’ is a definitive system of rules. Codes of ‘Conduct’ are a definitive system of Ethical rules. A good example of ‘Codes of Conduct’ is the Scarface saying, “All I got in this World is my word and my balls and I don’t break ‘em for nobody!”, The Godfather Vito Corleone's advice to Sonny to, “Never tell anybody outside of this family what you’re thinking again.” and the Abu Shahid youthful advice to not fixate on the past because, “The past is like yo ass; behind you and full of shit!” These are all components of a larger definitive system of rules (Codes) that indicate standards of Conduct. Based upon the situation, the application of a certain standard can mean the difference between Life or Death. It’s also important to mention that there are some ‘Codes of Conduct’ that are Universal while others are only Relative to the situation; Wisdom is one’s ability to rightly discern the difference! All of our lives are nothing more that a psychological montage of ‘Codes of Conduct’; consisting of Ethics we derived from things such as a Bugs Bunny quote, something we heard some MC say in their lyrics, what some female said to this dude at the work, a Farrakhan Speech, what we read in the Farmers Almanac, etc.. This psychological montage is what really dictates our behavior and defines our real Culture/Religion, REGARDLESS WHAT WE PROCLAIM OURSELVES TO BE!

Ethics are a system of Principles; Standards of Conduct. Principles are Laws that govern the function or behavior of a person, place or thing. The Principles we acknowledge and adhere to determines our Core Values and orders our Priorities. This is what ultimately sets the template for what we define as our ‘Culture’ -which is the sum total of all our people activities. I say all of this to say that our Culture or “Way of Life” is predicated upon our Ethics, the Principles we acknowledge/adhere to, the importance we assign them (Value) and how we order their level of importance (Prioritize) in our Life. Oftentimes when people get 120, Supreme Mathematics & the Supreme Alphabet they never learn about Ethics, Principles, Values and Priorities inherent to them. This is the reason why you often can’t tell the actual difference between a person who calls themselves a God/Earth and the average person that’s blind, deaf and dumb! Many so-called Gods and Earths honestly believe that this Culture is all about being able to recite Lessons, do tricks with Supreme Mathematics, sound intelligent or prove how much more they know than somebody else! These people really don’t realize that this Culture is all about transforming one’s behavior to help better themselves, their family, their Community and the World at large. Ultimately, this way of life is expressed within our Ethics, Principles, Values and Priorities.

Ya’ll I’ve ceen some of the foulest and most outta pocket behavior justified by Gods and Earths as so-called “right and exact” (1/1-40). Some of these things were painfully obvious, b.u.t. many of them go “undetected by the naked eye.” (8/1-40). Here’s a short ‘Codes of Conduct’ Quiz to get us to start thinking about our choices and behavior:

1. A female is having issues with a God who’s been teaching her 120. She contacts you to build about these issues. What would you do?

a) Build with her about how she should deal with the God that’s been teaching her.

b) Tell her you she should try to reconcile the situation with the God who is actively teaching her.

c) Offer to become her Educator.

d) Ask her for the God’s contact information and build with him about her contacting you and the things she built with you about.

e) Contact her God and ask what their status is before you agree to teach her.

2. You need to build with an Earth about something business related and she lives with her God whom you do not know. When you call her, she mentions that her and her God just got in when she answers the phone. What do you do?

a) You say “That’s Peace” and begin to discuss business with her.

b) You tell her to tell the God you said “Peace!” and then begin discussing business with her.

c) You tell her to hand the phone to her God, introduce yourself and build with him about the nature of your call before you build with her.

d) Ask the Earth did she build with her God about you and her discussing business. If she says, “Yes”, you say “O.K.” and began to discuss business with her.

e) Ask the Earth did she build with her God about you and her discussing business. If she says, “Not yet”, you say “O.K.” and let her know she needs to discuss this with him -or you do- before you and her can discuss any business.

3. You’re an Earth and your God tells you he started educating a female. What do you do?

a) Bomb him about not discussing this first with you or introducing this female to you.

b) Say “O.K.” and leave it.

c) Say, “That’s Peace” and ask him what time and day he’s going to bring her over so she can build with you.

d) Tell him, “No”, and if he does want to teach her, he can’t be with you too.

e) Cook a pot of hot grits.

4. You’re an Earth and another Earth -who broke up with her God- finally decides to start seeking a Mate, yet the guys she’s been exclusively building with are not Gods. How do you deal with her?

a) Respect that she’s “doing her” and say nothing about what she chooses to do.

b) Deal with her from a distance b.u.t. build with her about why she’s decided to deal with 85ers like that.

c) Tell her “That’s Peace” and encourage her to explore her options.

d) Plan a double date and/or activities with her and the guy she’s dating so he can meet and develop a relationship with your God.

e) Cut her off completely because she’s straying away from Civilization.

5. You have a private disagreement with another God or Earth. How do you handle it?

a) Directly or indirectly air this private issue out in a public forum.

b) Speak or vent (not build) with others about this private issue who’s on the outside -either a Newborn or someone who isn’t a God or Earth.

c) Don’t speak directly or indirectly about this issue in a public forum and quietly take time to resolve the issue in private with the God or Earth.

d) Sever the relationship.

e) Resolve the issue with the God or Earth by building at the Parliament.

These are just a few examples where we are called upon to apply God/Earth Ethics. Although the most Ethical choices in this multiple choice Quiz can appear obvious, do not underestimate the fact that to many Gods/Earths they’re not that obvious! From my personal experience of examining myself and interacting with other Gods/Earths, I wanna share with you some of the Principles I cee as important when it comes to acknowledging/adhering to Nation of Gods and Earths ‘Codes of Conduct’. Keep in Mind that many of these Principles are universally acknowledged/adhered to by various Nations, Religions, etc.. and The NGE does not have an exclusive right on any of these Principles.

Loyalty
Being committed, devoted or faithful to What We Teach lays the foundation for What we Will Achieve as a Nation. Before I even introduce someone to this Culture and agree to teach them I examine how ‘faithful’ (committed; loyal) they are to their Ethics, the Principles they acknowledge/adhere to, the importance they assign them (Value) and how they order their Priorities. As I stated, this will reveal their real Culture. “Regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14) people are going to be loyal to something in their life; whether it’s smokin’ crack, doing homework or adhering to cross-contamination procedures when they’re cooking. When it comes to the proper ‘Codes of Conduct’ when getting ‘Knowledge of Self’ (KOS), loyalty is highly valued because it’s impossible to learn if you’re not devoted, faithful or committed. For example, if I cee a female ‘God-Hoppin’ -moving from one God to the next God, to the next, etc.. to so-called get KOS-, I cee this as an obvious question of her loyalty (commitment) -amongst other things. Maybe it’s just me b.u.t if I cee a female running through 3 to 4 different Gods within a couple year span while claiming to be about this Culture, my “spidy senses” start doing more than tingling! LOL Unless the Gods she was getting this “impartial” information (Knowledge) from was physically abusing her, I don’t cee too many legitimate reasons why she’s “not settled” (1/1-14). -smirk- It’s a behavioral pattern that must be thoroughly examined. When I cee a female with a behavioral pattern like this, it’s obvious that KOS is not her determined idea because her Ethics -or lack thereof- don’t coincide with this idea. Also, I don’t know about ya’ll, b.u.t. I’m always skeptical of females who claim that getting KOS is her main priority, although she’s connected -or has access- to a vast Network of Earths who have KOS! Maybe it’s “a female thing” or I’m just stupid, b.u.t. it’s always been strange to me why such a female has never asked one of these Earths to give her Lessons. -shrugs- Some of these loyalty issues stem from a person’s “I got options” attitude. The way I cee it is like this; if a person overtly/covertly approaches a God/Earth with an attitude like they have a whole lot bunch of options about Who, What, When, Where, Why and How someone needs to be teaching them -especially after they have agree to be “a Student”-, it’s only a matter of time before their ‘Codes of Conduct’ show you they really aren’t committed to this Culture on some level! Why? Because they were allowed to walk in with options and aren’t going to give them up. That’s why they came with them in the first place because they never intended on giving them up! LOL When a person like this cees something they don’t like, regardless of what kinda Math you build with them about, they’re going to walk. Why? Because their only loyalty is to what they want, when they want it and how they want it; not what this Culture is about.

Justice
When we learn that “the sword is an emblem of justice and was used by the Original Man…” (9/1-14), many Gods/Earths assume that their only job is to use it! It often never occurs to them that this “tool” (6/1-14) is double edged. Therefore, in handling a sword we must do it with the upmost respect and care -being cognizant that we can become a victim of our own stroke or improper handling. How many times have you heard of a person shootin themselves in the ass when their gun went off while it was sat in the small of their back? Well a sword (justice) can function the same way. Justice has the word ‘just’ in it which means ‘correct, proper or fair’. Plainly speaking, many Gods/Earths are completely unfair and improper in the way they deal with themselves and others, yet often demand to be treated fairly themselves! For example, if you’re a God and you always got something to say negative about what people are doing, b.u.t. aren’t doing anything to offer a solution, then you’re performing a grave injustice to yourself and everyone else! A sense of Justice would tell you that you can’t penalize someone for something you also aren’t doing –in some form or fashion. I’ve watched Gods fall on their sword more times then they’ve used it and there’s nothing wrong with that because we’re all striving for perfection, right?! The problem arises when a God is too blind, prideful, self important and egotistical to cee how he’s been falling on his own sword! Justice takes place when we’re able to rise above our emotions, put our feelings aside and do what is appropriate in any given situation. If we don’t have the ability to do this, the next “35-50 years” of our life will be lived with “a sword above” (9/1-14) our heads. We must ask ourselves, “If we’re not dedicated to doing what is ‘correct, proper and fair’ then what are we dedicated to?! I am not saying it’s easy, b.u.t I am saying it’s a cultural necessity! So Justice is a Principle that is emblemized in our behavior, not in talking about what’s ‘correct, proper and fair’ b.u.t. being about what’s ‘correct, proper and fair’!

Power
Power is ‘force’ and ‘the ability to produce and effect’. Power does not mean “TO” force because then it wouldn’t show any Refinement. Power, in Principle, is a sense of Refinement; a force or ability to produce effects that are pure/perfect. From this perspective, it means that there must be a great deal of consideration involved in this process! Consideration means to be thoughtful in observing the rights of others. This is definitely a ‘Code of Conduct’ that many Gods/Earths learn in time or unfortunately don’t learn at all! Gods/Earths being considerate of others and not trying to force (impose) their ideas/concepts on others is an issue this Nation continuously deals with. Not only is this very uncouth and vulgar, b.u.t. it’s an impure way of presenting What We Teach. An example of this is when Gods/Earths simply define Power as not being associated with Refinement and nothing b.u.t. the Truth. What they don’t consider is the fact that Truth oftentimes must be refined, cultured and then presented in such a way to people that they’re open minded to consider it. It’s funny that those Gods/Earths who advocate a bold, raw, uncut Truth (Power) without Refinement are usually the first ones to reject Truth when people present it to them bold, raw and uncut! LOL Sometimes Raw Power is good, b.u.t. sometimes Power Refinement is the best way! When Gods/Earths don’t acknowledge Power as a ‘Code of Conduct’ that deserves a great deal of consideration prior to using this force to producing an effect, they’re inclined to be outta control, talk reckless and be completely inattentive to the needs of others; all qualities that are more savage than civilized.

Building
Building means to construct something. Literally speaking, you construct something with “actual materials”. I mention this because oftentimes Gods/Earths think they’re ‘Building’ when all they’re actually doing is making up stories, assuming, believing or putting weight on how they feel about situations. Because there’s no actual material in these instances, it’s impossible to define these social exchanges as ‘Building’. What’s really going on is bullshittin ass gossip! Building is not running off at the mouth or trying to sound highly intelligent! LOL Building is demonstrated through what we’re “actually” (really) doing in our daily lives. What actually (really) distinguishes Gods/Earths from the average 85er when our mouth is closed? Is it people ceeing us with a headwrap on? Is it our lapel pin of The Universal Flag? The reality is, when many of us aren’t running our mouth, NOTHING distinguishes us from the average 85er because we’re not doing NOTHING. Cee, if we’re really ‘Building’, people should cee our words, work and reputation through what we’re actually doing! When Gods/Earths aren’t taught -through demonstration- that their duty (responsibility) as a Civilized Person is to “roll up their sleeves” and get to work, they’re inclined to selfishly advocate for personal causes and neglect Community causes that are common to their own socio-economic status. The irony is the fact that a mailing address indicates a Residence, which further indicates that -as a Resident in this Neighborhood- you share a socioeconomic interest in it’s affairs; regardless if you speak to your neighbor or not! LOL When we forfeit our ability to be actively involved in positively influencing the affairs of our Community by not doing nothing, we’re not ‘Building’, we’re literally DESTROYING. Gods/Earths need to realize how destructive it is to sit back and talk, yet don’t do nothing to help others outside of themselves and maybe their own child(ren)! In Principle, Building has very little to do with what you’re saying; especially when it’s not coinciding with what you’re actually doing on a daily basis. Building is the epitome of a Code of ‘Conduct’.

These are just a few examples of what I mean by ‘Codes of Conduct’ and I hope ya’ll can understand and appreciate what I’m saying. If you haven’t found Ethical Standards, learned Principalities, acquired positive Values and rearranged your Priorities as demanded of us who seriously “undertake” (29/1-40) the study/application of 120, it’s not too late to start! -smile- As a God/Earth, there should be a marked difference in who we are in comparison to other people; especially when our mouth is closed and transcendent of NGE Regalia! Let’s tighten up our ‘Codes of Conduct’ because they represent the cohesive bond that holds our Universal Family together and gives us a sense of familiarity of how we assess ourselves, eachother and attend the World! Ultimately, without consistent ‘Codes of Conduct’, it’s impossible to know who we’re dealing with; even though people will come in the name of God/Earth. Legitimizing who’s a God/Earth is beyond analyzing what a person is wearing, what kinda tricks they can do with Today’s Mathematics, if they can repeat what The Father said, if they can tell you what date Shammgaud presented the Universal Flag, if they can name drop what Gods/Earths they know, if they can recite 120 with lightening speed, or if they can prove “so and so” was their Enlightener. Regardless of any of these things, their actual ‘Codes of Conduct’ (behavior) tells you exactly who they are and who they aren’t! And until we start taking a serious look at our behavior and identifying, considering and addressing our ‘Codes of Conduct’, we’ll continue to misrepresent and undermine the Duty of a Civilized Person.

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!

What's above yo' head?!

Peace Ya’ll! In the 9/1-14 we learn that neophytes/adepts who are devoted to the study of Righteousness and the Original Man were allowed to wear the Sun, Moon and Stars as symbols of adherence to this universal order, b.u.t. a sword was “placed on the upper part of the Flag” to remind them of their obligation to this order. If you’ve ever taken a moment to look at the fez-like head covering of Shriners you’ll cee this sword above the symbol of the Moon & Star on a Sunlit background. In the 9/1-40, we learn that “they (the 85%) also ‘hear thunder above their heads’ but do not try to learn who is causing all this to happen by letting the 5% teach them. They believe in the 10% on face value”. What makes the 9/1-14 and 9/1-40 congruent is the fact that both of these Lessons emphasize ‘learning’ and the idea that something exists above one’s head; ‘a sword’ (9/1-14) and ‘thunder’ (9/1-40). I cee this two ways:

1. There are certain things that can be “above our head” in the process of learning because it seems very complicated. This means that certain circumstances and situations may be hard to figure out and simply goes right over our head. An example of this is: a Student having problems with Algebra in Math Class.

2. There are certain things that can be “above our head” meaning ‘held against us’. Sometimes the circumstances and situations we have gone through, are going through and will go through is strategically used against us by others or hung above our heads as a means to manipulate (control) us. An example of this is: a Man cheats on his Wife and now has a child with a Mistress that he’s been hiding from his family. Someone finds out about this affair and threatens to tell the Man’s Wife and destroy his Family unless he pays them to keep their mouth shut.

What makes both of these instances relative is the fact that the things that are held against us are often hard to figure out, or the things that are hard to figure out are often held against us. This is not always because of “a filthy affair” (8/1-14) though. This can often be because of our own idiosyncrasies or personality glitches; sword(s) we add or thunder that exists above our own heads. Sometimes these problems simply arise from living right in a problematic Society. Whatever the case may be, what it ultimately comes down to is this: We must take charge in resolving them because these problems limit or impedes our ability to strive for perfection in vital areas of our lives.

So what is the difference between having ‘a sword’ above one’s head in comparison to having ‘thunder’ above one’s head? Well first and foremost, a person has more control over a sword because it’s forged, unsheathed and welded with the human hand. This means that confronting this problem has a human element in it! This is very important because it suggests that as a human ourselves, we have a certain amount of control in resolving the problem; there’s an obvious relationship. It’s mentioned in the 9/1-14 that learning is a formal study; 35-50 years, thus it’s all about being humble, devoted, trying to do, being discipline and applying ourselves. One of the greatest ways Original People have combated the injustices we have and continue to be subjected to is through education -and the greatest education is Knowledge of Self. So the most effective way to remove the sword that we -or others- have put above our heads is to educate ourselves; become a Swordsmith! -smile- This is advantageous because we develop the skills to distinguish swords, the quality of a sword, techniques used by Swordsmen/women, etc.. Ultimately, becoming a Swordsmith gives us the ability to protect our neck or attack those who seek to test our swordplay! LOL!

Having thunder above one’s head is an entirely different situation altogether. First of all, you damn near lost the human element of control. So in otherwords, now the shit over ya head is basically “outta control”! Accepting this often harsh reality is fundamental to dealing with this problem. Now for all you Mathcentrics out there, yeah, yeah, yeah, “all the above is caused by…blah blah blah blah blah.” (8/1-40). All I’m just saying is that I’ve yet to cee a Meteorologist named Lord Akwon Scientific Wyndchime Allah building about the Pacific Northwest Weather, in Today’s Math, on the 11 O’clock News. Cee, unlike the sword, when you hear thunder above ya head all you can do is prepare for the weather because light (lightening) was already shined on the problem; now you gotta deal with the rumblin’ that comes along with it! -shakes head- And every excuse we try to make by saying, “But this” or “But that” will bring nothing b.u.t. more thunder -along with rain, hail, snow and earthquakes (13/1-40); it’s not a good forecast. Thunder is waaaaaay above ya head; approximately “six miles” (8/1-40). Thunder is also impossible to grasp; intangible. When thunder is about your head it’s like the cloud that sat over the Flintstones Neighbor’s House; The Gruesomes. Dealing with this natural phenomenon, we must first accept the circumstances and either adapt to it or relocate to Pleasantville. Since relocating suggests one’s reorientation, it’s important to know exactly where you’re presently at: Mentally, Emotionally, Physically & Financially. Also keep in Mind that regardless if you are living in Pleasantville now YOU BROUGHT YOURSELF WITH YOU!

When we don’t deal with the ‘sword’ (9/1-14) above our heads it becomes ‘thunder’ (9/1-40). As I said, whether it’s ‘a sword’ or ‘thunder’ it can be there because of our own idiosyncrasies or personality glitches. Sometimes these problems simply arise from living “right and exact” (1/1-40) in a problematic Society. Whatever the case may be, what it ultimately comes down to is this: We must take charge in resolving them because these problems limit or impedes our ability to strive for perfection in vital areas of our lives. We “write (right) Holy Koran or Bible” (1/1-40), so having unresolved issues festering in our lives is like being stuck in a Surah or Chapter. By being “bound” to a Surah or Chapter it’s impossible to completely renew our History (a New Koran/Bible itself, not just a different Surah or Chapter in the same old Koran/Bible). Even if we have rationalized that we’ve moved on, we’ll find this same Surah/Chapter poppin up time and time again -with different characters b.u.t. the same ole theme! The fact that this problematic pattern is well established Shows and Proves that it’s the same Ole’ Bible/Koran. This is why people can often accurately “read us like a book” -smile-, and no matter how we’d like to change the interior décor or rearrange the furniture in our ‘house’, it always “equals our ‘home’ circumference” (1/1-40). I drew particular attention to the words ‘house’ and ‘home’ because a ‘house’ is just a building, a ‘home’ is where we actually live and like the saying goes “Home is where the heart is”. So in otherwords, with People in general and Gods/Earths in particular, sometimes there’s a huge variance between our building (house) and how we’re actually living (home).

So to conclude Today’s Article I just want to encourage all of you to “give all you have and all within your power” (40/1-40) to resolve your problems while you can. One of the main indicators that shows that there is no reciprocity going on is when there’s “no Peace amongst us” (1/1-14); genuinely. I’m talking about reaaaaaaaly being at Peace with ourselves, not manufacturing attention from others, seeking entertainment and/or indulging in substances/tasks as a means to numb ourselves from the pain of Inner War and calling it Peace! I’ve been there, I’ve done patchwork like that and I clearly recognize when I have an egocentric inclination to do these things. Realizing this and coming to grips with how we choose to think and what we’ve chosen to say/do is the essence of true Self Knowledge. Also, it must be realized that having 120 is just that; ‘having it’. There are many Gods/Earths who have ‘had it’ for “years, months and days” (36/1-40), yet their steps towards grasping the meaning of Civilization is unperceivable or they actually atrophied into Black Devils. There are still many other Gods/Earths who've had120 for a few weeks yet they been making strives in their growth and development before they even got their Student Enrollment! So having it is cool b.u.t. it’s about using it -and using it will be shaped by the ciphers that existed before we got this Math; The Cipher (0) proceeds Knowledge (1)! In otherwords, Gods/Earths talk all day about how 120 or “This Math” is their foundation without ever realizing that the mortar to that foundation is a substantive mix of years of conditionings, our own idiosyncrasies or personality glitches and how we assess our socioeconomic reality. These ciphers give context to our Math and accounts for why one God/Earth carries this Math differently from the next God/Earth. Knowledge of Self is essentially a systematic process of unlearning in order to learn, not putting frosting on bullshit and calling it a cake. The cake may look reeeeeeeal nice, b.u.t. underneath it all, you’ll always be able to smell the bullshit. To drive this point home, consider this: When it comes to the Math, the Alphabet & 120, they’re like the Diagnostic Computer you hook your car up to when you’re getting your Inspection done. Unfortunately, many of us have vehicles that are alittle too old to hook up to this Computer so we need to get our Inspection done the ole school way; manually! So although this Diagnostic Computer is very useful, regardless if a person has Math, the Alphabet & 120 or not, WE’RE ALL GONNA NEED to get inspected one way or another in order to drive our vehicle! LOL! Also, “KEEP IN MIND” (9/1-14) that regardless if somebody has a brand new ‘09 Dodge Charger or a ’82 Chevy Oldsmobile on the road (registered, inspected and insured), it doesn’t tell you shit about their driving skills! LOL! Anyway ya’ll, if we don’t resolve our issues our issues will resolve us!

PEACE!

L.I.F.E. Program 2009
For those of you who aren’t aware of some of the things I do outside of my A.S.I.A. Online Networks, since about 2005 I’ve “formally” operated my L.I.F.E. Program here in the City of Atlantis. I emphasize “formally” because I’ve worked/volunteered with youth through various Programs/Organizations since I was 17; I just never gave what I do a formal name. Anyway, Last year I took a hiatus from operating my L.I.F.E. Program at a Center called The NACC (Niagar Arts and Cultural Center) and have been basically doing my own Programming where I can get it in; if that means at my Kingdom, the Library, Parks, etc.. then that’s what it’s been. The other day when I was at my Barber’s, an Older Brotha named Rick -whom I’d ceen around town- was there with his two suns. After the usual Barbershop building Rick opens up some conversation inquiring about my Program and what I’m doing right now. After I briefly explained some of things I’ve been doing, he plainly stated that he needs me. He told me that he just received a 5-Year Federal Grant for a ‘Youth Power’ Project through our Local Branch of the Boys & Girls Club of America, and that he was putting a Team of Program Coordinators together to operate it! After giving me a brief run down I told him I was interested and about a week later I met with him to get some more in’s and out’s of the ‘Youth Power’ Project. Now the beautiful thing about this opportunity is the fact that I’ll have a lot more mobility than when I operated my Program at the NACC. I have access to a modest budget, transportation and other resources that will allow me greater access to do what I “always have been and always will be” (38/1-40) doing; building! -smile- I have of course accepted this opportunity at the Boys & Girls Club and will now be wearing another hat. LOL! Now, the reason this opportunity came my way is because I’m visible. Because I’m actively involved -not Egocentrically involved- in the affairs that shape and define the youth and the future of my City (Atlantis), I’m naturally “ceen and heard everywhere” (37/1-40). Many times opportunity “seems” to pass us by simply because we’re not making ourselves visible. When it comes to our National Identity -Gods and Earths- many of us play different roles, and being actively involved with the youth is just something I choose to do. So when it comes to adding on, KEEP IN MIND that whatever you do, do it well, because doing it well is undeniable and people will instinctively seek you out! Through my L.I.F.E. Program at the NACC I accomplished many things with our youth (a Family Tree Project using Matrilineal DNA Kits; a DVD called ‘The Three Wise Men’, an Educational CD called ‘Street Science’, a Pen Pal Prison Correspondence Project, etc..), and I’m excitedly looking forward to taking advantage of this opportunity to do even greater things with and for our youth!!! -BIG GRIN-

The NGE on HDTV
Check this out, I was contacted by a Network Channel to be a Technical Consultant for an upcoming Documentary they’re doing that includes a segment about The NGE! That shit caught me completely off guard ya’ll! Of course I was on square (point), I just didn’t cee that in the Math. LOL! Basically, the Associate Producer wants me to articulate a basic, short, concise History of how The NGE began and what we Teach; Visually and Narratively. I know some of ya’ll are probably thinking, “AWWWWW SHIT, SALADIN GON SAY SOME OLE’ SHIT!!!!” LOL! -shakes head- Well damn ya’ll, give me alittle credit! Don’t worry, people won’t walk away thinking we’re a Religious Gang that worships Fard in blackface after this shit airs! LOL! Anyway, I’ve been communicating with the Associate Producer and have also assembled a small Team of Gods to add on with this Project who’re masters at their craft; I’m basically facilitating the process. Ultimately, this endeavor will give The NGE more National exposure that’s positive and progressive, and hopefully act as a springboard to get a Program about The NGE -from our perspective- aired Nationally. Personally, I think this is an important Hancock-like step towards cleaning up some of the negative images, stereotypes and stigmas people have -especially in the Prison Systems- associated with The NGE. I’m not giving too many details at this point because The Network is still in the developmental stages of constructing a script and collecting information about the larger subject matter -that includes The NGE. Right now, I’ve been working on the Narrative component in order to ensure that what’s said about The NGE is an accurate description that upholds/reinforces a National consensus amongst Gods an Earths. This ain’t an easy task either! For instance, the sentence, “Clarence 13X started the Five Percent Nation” wouldn’t be right and exact. To be more correct, it would be more appropriate to say, “Allah ‘The Father’ -formally known as Clarence 13X- began what was then called ‘The Five Percenters or Five Percent Nation in 1964. Today that once young Nation of ‘Five Percenters’ has grown Internationally and is now commonly known as The Nation of Gods and Earths.” Anyway, this is a very serious endeavor and we are approaching it as such; all satire & cynicism aside! Our segment in this Program will represent the most Widespread, Contemporary, Mainstream attention The NGE has received in the History of this Nation, and will serve as a cultural landmark in our Chronology. I’ll keep ya’ll posted about this as we progress…

Ballin’
For the last few weeks I’ve started playing Basketball again. For a while I’ve been trying to find an open gym that works with my Schedule and my Cousin -I played ball with my whole life- made knowledge born to me that he gets the gym at the High School once a week. I also found out through some of the dudes I was ballin with that they’ve been playin at the Boys Club once a week too. Ya’ll I’ve been looking forward to this ever since! -smile- First of all, I’m understanding culture years old and aside from dudes I went to School with, many of the other dudes we ball with are in they late teens to late twenties. Now the first time I played I felt like my lungs was outside of my body! LOL! This ain’t because I smoke or etc.., it’s just because I ain’t ran like that in a while. I’ve always been active, b.u.t. I just haven’t done any cardiovascular work like that so getting my blood flowing and stretching my lungs was very uncomfortable. Another thing I noticed was that my Mind and Body weren’t fuckin communicating! I would think something and my body would say, “Yo hold on dude!” Anyway, there were a few times I lost control of myself, skin my knee up, jammed my finger, etc... As far as my “J” (jump shot) was concerned, I still got my three. -smile- It was rusty, b.u.t. the muthafucka was still there! LOL! Although I stretched alittle bit, I didn’t test my “ups” (jumpin ability) until the second week. Now when it comes to pick-up games of Basketball you need to be very, very weary of usin ya ups! One reason is because pick-up games are loosely organized and niggahs don’t call foul like that. The one’s that do call petty ass fouls are labeled and any legitimate fouls (legitimate meaning; your face was ripped off!) are usually given to you by the perpetrator of the homicide. In Street Ball, niggahs also bring shit going on in they life -and on the streets- to the game, and that’s usually why they there in the first place; to get they shit off! This means that there will be at least one person on the Court, on the opposite Team who is Foulcentric! When you take this into consideration, if you got ups, you’re usually only using ‘em for rebounding because to even try to dunk is beggin for an injury. Plus on a psychological level, dunkin symbolizes a Man’s virility and is used as an Alpha Male-like emasculating act to demoralize another Man/Team. On a primal level, the same way males boast about fuckin the shit outta a bitch, they boast about ‘dunkin nasty on a muthafucka’, ‘bustin somebody’s ass’ (scoring on ‘em) or ‘breaking somebody’s ankles’ (embarrassing ‘em with your ball handlin skills)! So although dudes may have the intent of embarrassing somebody, they damn sure ain’t come out to be embarrassed. What this translates into is; YOU’RE GOING TO GET FOULED if it even looks like a niggah gon get his ass handed to him (embarrassed). Anyway, after we ran a few games I took the ball to test my ups. LOL! Cee, I’ve always had ups yet I’ve never been the type of dude to try to embarrass somebody by dunkin on ‘em. I only dunked on somebody on one occasion; in High School when I dunked on this arrogant-ass 6ft 4in white boy -and got the foul. Well when I started to test my ups recently the dudes I went to School with couldn’t believe what the fuck they was ceeing! Ya’ll I was taking off from the dots with the ball cuffed dunkin, taking one step and dunkin with two hands, dunkin backwards from baseline… EASY. I was getting up like I was damn near knowledge born years old! LOL! Although it may have come across like I was showing off, I was trying to cee where I was at; physically. Ultimately, it felt good to know that I can still run and jump with these young boys, yet it felt better to know that staying active and eating right has been a valuable investment! I mention all of this to say it’s important to know where you’re at physically and mentally. On a physical level, learn what type of exercise/activities you need to incorporate into your life and changes you can make to your diet so that you’re a “healthy, strong and good…” (28/1-40) conduit for the Mind (Supreme Intelligence) -especially those of us who’re growing older. Also, keep in Mind that being a God and Earth mentally doesn’t mean that we’re not a strait 85er physically! LOL!

Chris Brown VERSUS Rihanna (Domestic Abuse)
DAMN, the stock of the black man -in general- just plummeted like a muthafucka! -shakes head- Ya’ll I called this drama like a dice roll last Summer! When me and my Queens were doing the knowledge on the MTO Coverage saying that they were together I built with them about the road they were headed down. To be exact I said, “Chris Brown is gon loose his Mind! Watch; he drawn up!” I said this based upon how C. Brown was moving; he’s strait up young and was giddy as hell! Chris had that glazed look in his eyes and infatuation that young guys often have for pretty girls. LOL! Now Rihanna on the other hand was posed, mature, seasoned and emotionally stable. Even if Rihanna didn’t have any more relationship experience than Chris Brown she damn sure ain’t look it! Chris was green and dancing around over that Barbados power u like Ben Vereen on Loobilee Zoo. Hey, I’ve been on that Show before too; I KNOW! -grin-

Anyway, when it comes to that “Domestic Abuse” shit…, that’s a serious issue b.u.t. people have been using this whole situation as a muthafucken tool! -shakes head- Take for example the term “Domestic Abuse”; when alot of ya’ll hear that shit the imagery that comes up in your Mind was some nostril flaired James Evans-like Go-rilla beating the brakes off some dainty, frail 95 lb damsel in distress with a closed fist! Yeah I’m sure some 85er is somewhere doing some shit like that b.u.t. that is not a composite image of what Domestic Abuse is nor does it accurately describe what’s going on in Black Communities! FIRST OF ALL, it must be understood that both of them are victims victimizing eachother. Let me repeat that, the Domestic Violence in the Black Community is victims victimizing eachother! I think this statement puts Domestic Violence in the proper context because it shows that it’s a greater issue than just taking responsibility for putting your hands on eachother. The greater issue is to examine the trans-generational influences that contributes to “all the above” (8/1-40). When I say trans-generational I’m not just taking about shit the Parents passed on, I’m talking about “generations”! Plainly speaking, a lot of the dysfunctional shit going on with black male/female relationships are a direct result of the dilemmas caused by slavery, period. Am I saying Chris Brown laid the smack down or Rihanna provoked him because they’re Ancestors were slaves? NOT EXACTLY! I’m saying that the institution of slavery –which took place not only within the boarders of America b.u.t. also in the Caribbean Islands- produced mental illnesses in black people that’s trans-generationally manifested as normalcy. When slavery “physically” ended, no psychological help/counseling was offered to slaves to help them deal with the generations of trauma they were subjected to. What this means is that to this very day -2009- many black people who’re descendants of slaves are still suffering from the post traumatic effects of slavery -oftentimes without any knowledge of how that institution has shaped their present Worldview/Core Values and how they define their people activities (family relationships, diet, behavior, labor, sex, religion/spirituality, entertainment, etc.)! Because many people don’t study the trans-generational physical, psychological and socioeconomic effects of the institution of slavery, they often misdiagnose the problems going on with black people as strictly contemporary.

With all that said, my perspective on Chris Brown and Rihanna is that they’re both young 85’s doing what 85’s do. For those of you who don’t know what an 85er is, in the 14/1-40 which asks, “Who are the 85%?” we learn that, “They are the uncivilized people, poisonous animals eaters, slaves from a mental death and power. Those who do not know the true and living God or their origin in this World and worship what they know not. Who are easily led in the wrong direction but hard to be led in the right direction.” This doesn’t mean that I don’t think Chris Brown is a helluva dancer or that Rihanna ain’t a good singer, I’m just talking about what they ultimately represent to the youth by the values they reinforce through their iconic celebrity status; they’re 85’s. Like I said earlier, people -especially females- have been jumping on this issue to use it as a tool! I do understand that there are many males abusing females, b.u.t. there are also many females who’re actually doing the physical, verbal and psychological abuse that will now use this “International” Incident to gain more authority to master dudes. I guarantee that when this news broke, Domestic Violence Hotlines and Police Station Phones were ringing off the hook, and many of these calls were on some “tryin’ to get a niggah” bullshit because he wasn’t doing what she wanted him to do. -shakes head- Also keep in Mind that most dudes ain’t calling someone else to help him bring order to his own relationship; it kinda defeats the purpose of being a Man, in his Mind. When dealin with gamey females like that, it’s also important to consider that their sophisticated, cunning and/or beguiling tactics are oftentimes the direct result of a being subjected to a misogynistic, gender oppressive Patriarchal Society. Many females run game to so-called “level” the playing field.

Ultimately, any ‘Gamey’ or pendulum styled ‘Fucking and Fighting’ Relationship reflects a Societal Mental Illness and it’s often a case of victims victimizing eachother. Whatever the issue is with Chris Brown and Rihanna, all I know is that NO RELATIONSHIP -between black, brown, yellow or white people- should function nor be communicated like low-brow Cro-Magnons; we better than that! People learning “how to act at home and abroad” (14/1-14) is entirely up to them and unfortunately “85% do not try to learn…all the above by letting the 5% teach them.” -shrugs- Why? “They believe…on face value.” (9/1-40)

Peace!

The Naked Truth

Peace Ya’ll! Like I said a couple weeks ago, I ordered The Naked Truth from the God Abu Shahid and did the knowledge on it and here’s my Thoughts:

First and foremost, the God never ceases to amaze me! -smile- Abu reminds me of Dolemite with 120; The Human Tornado of The NGE! LOL! My Parents put me down with these Characters when I was young so I had the ability to ‘draw up’ (8/1-40) a lot the sciences Abu Shahid was dealing with in The Naked Truth. In this Book Abu Shahid tells his ‘naked’ story; “undiluted mixed or tampered with in any form” (9/1-14). He dealt with some very thought provoking, explosive and controversial topics such as: US Immigration Policies, Sex, Racism, Freemasonry, Slavery, Homosexuality, The NGE History, his experience in The NOI, How Tupac’s Mother was his Wiz at one time, Drugs, How he created the Supreme Mathematics, Materialism, Gangs, Family Dynamics, His Criminal History, etc… You name it, it’s damn near in there! LOL!

NOW HERE’S THE THING, because Abu Shahid has various monikers (Attributes) he approaches these subject matters from various angles! You can tell when he’s spittin slick-ass Street Math like The Tumtanger, sitting there dropping laid back jewels like El Shabazz Amiz Allah, asserting his Title of Malik Abu; the self-proclaimed Elder of The NGE, jokin around like Ole’ Jelly Roll John Charles or building from his ‘The Lambs Book of Life’ Surahs as Brotha John 37X! In reading The Naked Truth, it’s an enjoyable experience to get acquainted with these -and various other- monikers (Attributes) of the God. -smile- Another thing I recognized in the Book was Abu’s consistent use of NA (Narcotics Anonymous) Nomenclature. Those of you who haven’t been in ‘The Rooms’ of NA or don’t personally know of someone who’s gone through that, there are certain words, phrase and concepts that are specifically used in the Steps & Traditions of NA. I happen to have a few close Companions who’ve gone through ‘The Rooms’ and I recognized immediately certain buzz words, phrases and concepts Abu uses that are ‘12 Step’ specific. Phrases such as ‘a power greater than myself”, “God of your understanding”, his breakdown of ‘recovery’ and a host of other things are direct manifestations of the NA 12 Step Recovery Program Philosophy. Like I said, I know people who deal with that science of life b.u.t. unfortunately, there are many people who don’t have a clue what the NA 12 Step Philosophy is. Therefore, in reading The Naked Truth, they don’t know when the NA 12 Step Philosophy actually stops and Supreme Mathematics or 120 begins. This is ultimately what some of the Gods/Earths have been critical about, b.u.t. haven’t been able to actually articulate when they’ve read The Naked Truth; some of the ideas expressed in it represent the Steps and Traditions of NA. I’m also unsure if the Author ‘Wakeel’ was/is aware of to what extend the NA 12 Step Philosophy is expressed in The Naked Truth. I personally have no problem with it because I recognize that “some” of the buzz words, phrases and concepts of the NA 12 Step Program are philosophically the same as Supreme Mathematics or 120. B.u.t. for the buzz words, phrases and concepts that are not philosophically the same, I think it would’ve been a good idea to clarify them so people will know the difference between The NGE Teachings and NA 12 Step Philosophy. I also think it’s a good thing for those Gods/Earths who’re critical of The Naked Truth to not condemn the entire Book, b.u.t. simply condemn or clarify their position on some of the things they don’t agree with and still support the Gods Abu & Wakeel’s endeavor! There are things I don’t personally agree with in The Naked Truth too. Shiiiiiiit, there are things I no longer agree with in my own writings today, b.u.t. I’m not throwing the baby out with the damn bath water! LOL! -shakes head-

When it comes to some Gods/Earths denouncing/condemning The Naked Truth, I can cee where they’re coming from; I also distance myself from certain people, places and things that I don’t think are right & exact. I can honestly cee some asshole taking Abu Shahid’s words, “A Power greater than myself” or “I’m for the purity of the race” to the head and being completely misinformed about What We Teach! -shakes head- Like I said, I personally don’t feel a need to denounce the Book. I enjoy it and cee it as a way to spark positive dialogue to help educate people! Also, because Abu is well versed in NA Philosophy, he’d do -and I’m sure he’s done- an amazing job at reaching people who’re in ‘The Rooms’ and helping introduce them to some of the Core Values of The NGE. Hopefully, many of you who’ve read The Naked Truth have already learned something from this Article and are inspired to do some more research on The NA Steps & Traditions (Philosophy), build with Recovering Addicts and even refer The Naked Truth to them! Because I could cee some of these influences right from the door, some of the things Abu Shahid was building about in his Book didn’t offend me. I have a deep respect and appreciation for the God’s angle!

Now, because alot of the NA 12 Steps & Traditions are different The NGE Traditions, many of the NA Steps & Traditions are very similar to certain Religious/Spiritual Concepts. From this perspective, I can cee once reason Wakeel Allah may have been compelled to publish The Naked Truth. This would be no different than a God who has a Muslim background/affinity towards Traditional Islam getting together with Imam Rasul (Hebekha) to write a Book together. My point is that, there are many words, phrases and concepts such as the word that Wakeel and Abu share in common that are Philosophically the same. For example, although as the True and Living God I personally don’t use the NA inspired phrase “A power greater than myself”, this can be interpreted as Philosophically the same as the NOI inspired opening, “All praise is due to Allah who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad, Lord of all the Worlds…”; the former being used by Abu Shahid and the later by Wakeel. Because Abu has over 18 years clean of dealing with drugs and alcohol, this stance supports Wakeel’s NOI Restrictive Law stance that Gods/Earths shouldn’t deal with drugs and alcohol. I’m mentioning these things to simply show the philosophical parallels. Parallels between ideas Abu Shahid and Wakeel personally “advocates” in order to set the stage for “one common cause” (8/1-14). It must also be noted that The Naked Truth represents this “one common cause” that Abu Shahid and Wakeel advocates; sentiments they both share that are not complete representations of the Collective Body of Gods and Earths. In other words, Abu Shahid simply built about how he cee’s shit based upon philosophical alley-oops Wakeel threw him to slam dunk various ideas that Wakeel himself advocates. Although there were certain things Abu Shaid said that I’m sure Wakeel didn’t agree with, Wakeel never challenged those things, he only supported or encouraged Abu to elaborate on what he also agreed with. Also, because Wakeel knowing didn’t put a disclaimer on The Naked Truth to obviously inform people that ‘This Book represents the sole perspective of Abu Shahid; ‘self proclaimed’ Elder of the Nation of Gods and Earths and does not reflect the Collective Perspective of the Nation of Gods and Earths as a whole”, many Gods/Earths have a problem with Wakeel’s mindset/methodology. Because of this, many Gods/Earths have suggested that Wakeel simply used Abu Shahid’s ‘self proclaimed’ title as "THE" Elder of The Nation of Gods and Earths to rubber stamp his own agenda. In this way, it has also been suggested that Wakeel can use this endeavor -along with his other Books- to further validate himself -and his perspective- as a cookie cutter image of what a God -or Five Percenter- is supposed to be.

So what do many Gods/Earths consider Wakeel’s agenda to be? Ultimately to continue promoting the Ideology and Worldview of a group known as The Allah Team; a Group of Gods from The Nation of Gods and Earths and FOI’s from The Nation of Islam who came together to develop, adhere to and promote a body of synthesized Core Values of The NGE and The NOI. So within The Allah Team there’s a great deal of ambiguity; they advocate various ideas/concepts that are religiously Muslim (The NOI) and other ideas/concepts that are culturally God (The NGE). Although I think it’s good to get together with other people, I also realize that to bring people together with a different Worldview/Orientation -especially a Muslim and a God-, you can only ‘advocate for one common cause’ here or ‘one common cause’ there because there could never exist a fundamental Agreement. You’ll never be able to establish a unified ‘foundation’ unless there is a basic Cosmological Agreement. This Agreement can never be established between a Muslim and a God because from a Muslim’s Cosmological standpoint they are not Allah; they are humans who worship, pray and submit to Allah as a Higher Power (Spirit). From a Gods Cosmological standpoint, there is no Mystery God and the only Higher Power that exists is Self from which all things originate. So when it comes to The Allah Team, the FOI’s (Muslims) will either eventually become Gods or Gods will eventually become Muslims; there is no other way to reconcile these fundamental Cosmological differences; NO WAY. From my perspective, I cee The Allah Team’s Ideology and Worldview as being more Muslim orientated -Cosmologically- then dealing with the science of The Gods and Earths. Now, because these things are transparent to me, there are many others who can’t cee this and that’s where the problem can arise. Like I said, if a person cees/speaks of God in terms as a Power greater than them and another person cees/speaks of themselves as this Great Power, there are only some things they’ll be able to agree on, period. And if they are professing that they “fundamentally” agree, then one person has got to be trying to be like the other! I mention this information about The Allah Team to help those of you understand some of the underling Dynamics and Politics of Allah Team Publishing Inc.; Wakeel’s Company that published The Naked Truth and various other Books (Allah Team Publishing Inc.).

Now just like any book I’ve read, before I refer a Book to somebody sometimes I prep them for it. Unfortunately, people have access to many God/Earth orientated Books and there’s not always an opportunity to prep somebody for it. There also may not be some kind of disclaimer or verbiage on the Book to prep someone before they purchase it. On one hand it’s a good thing because IT WILL spark dialogue and have people asking important questions; I’ve gotten a lot of questions about Da God Mathemanual! On the other hand, we might me manufacturing Frankenstein Monsters and people might be walking around completely uninformed. Either way, I think that we’re growing and elevating and those who’re meant to get the understanding WILL (pun intended). I jokingly -b.u.t. seriously- encouraged people who’ve been critical about The Naked Truth and other God/Earth orientated Books to publish their own Books to correct the mistakes they think Abu Shahid and other Gods/Earths have made, and I think that this is a fair request! On a most personal note, The Naked Truth is the shit to me and I enjoy the Book alot! -smile- I appreciate the God Abu Shahid and value what he has to say; even when it might offend me. LOL! I also want to thank the God Wakeel for putting forth the time, energy and resources to get with Abu to help forge and preserve such valuable document in The NGE’s History. Hopefully this has inspired others to start forging literary Korans of Gods/Earths -young and old- who’re are amongst us. Regardless of what people want to think, “years, months and days” (36/1-40) from now people will have access to Abu Shahids words; not just a sketchy transcription of an Ottisville tape. In time I think some people will grow to realize/appreciate the importance of publishing tangible Koran!

To conclude Today’s Article I want to encourage all of you who haven’t purchased The Naked Truth to do so, b.u.t. before you do, here’s two things to keep in Mind:

1. The words, “’THE’ Elder of The Nation of Gods and Earths” on the cover of The Naked Truth is a -self proclaimed- Title of Abu Shahid. The Nation of Gods and Earths have MANY Gods/Earths who’re considered Elders; some of them self proclaimed, others who’re not self proclaimed. There is NO SINGLE LEADER in The NGE, we’ve all been taught Leadership as a People.

2. The Naked Truth is Abu Shahid’s ‘Naked Truth’ so prepare to be shocked, educated, entertained, and energized from the words the God speaks about his Life! The God is seriously intense b.u.t. also madd funny; he’ll literally have you crying laughing at the way he tells his story! LOL!

Peace!
