Mathcentricity & The Father's Holy Grail

Peace Ya’ll! Yesterday, 9/30/09 was my Born Day into this Nation and I’ve Officially had 120 for 14 years strong! Words cannot truly express how grateful I am to have met a Brother willing to walk with me and pass on this Information, Integrity and Responsibility of this Culture. The best gratitude I can show him is to likewise do the same for those committed enough to walk with me! In addition to taking the time to do some introspection and journal about my 14 years in Knowledging (1) this Culture (4) and how I’ve been emPowered (5) to refine myself, I’ve also planned some Peace Activities to celebrate this glorious day! -smile-

Today I wanted to deal with the science of being ‘Mathcentric’ and our Cultural approach to attending the World. First and foremost, our concept of God and God Centeredness is not equivalent to taking a Religious Concept of God and simply applying it to ourselves. In otherwords, me and my Brothers are not the Mythical “Hebrew” God of the Bible in the flesh that we’ve been introduced to as toddlers and ALL of the folklores, legends, supernaturalness and paranormal activity can not be “literally” ascribed to us. Can it be ascribed to who we “literally” are? YES, sometimes. Metaphorically and Allegorically? YES, sometimes. I say this because when people are first introduced to Knowledge of Self they usually bring along misconceptions of what God is and what God is not. Prior to a person even getting their Supreme Mathematics, this has to be reconciled. Reconciled in way where there has to be a lot of conversation/time spent on the subject of God, Cosmology/Cosmogony (Triple Stage Darkness), Quantum Physics, etc… Not all Gods/Earths agree with this and find that it’s a more palatable approach to spend a lot of time on The Father’s History, etc…, b.u.t. that’s been the Tradition of my Family Tree and I cee the value in that. Anyway..., when the idea of God ain’t worked out from the door, you can run the risk of knowing Lessons yet believing in a ‘Mystery’ God (10/1-40). Mystery is ‘My-story” and anytime we don’t know or can’t articulate our story -Cosmology/Cosmogony-, “we do not know THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD OR OUR ORIGIN…” (14/1-40) This 14th Degree asks us the question, “Who is the 85%?”, and this just shows and proves our inclination towards functioning and attending the World as such -simply because we didn’t spend enough time reconciling the idea of God.

In order to be ‘Mathcentric’, the foundation or premise has to be Right & Exact. When you come across people who “used to” deal with Math or “were” a part of his Nation it’s because they either 1.) never put in the work to reconcile their relationship with God, or 2.) were never "a said person of that ability" (20/1-40) to begin with. I specifically say ‘put in the work’ because it’s Knowledge of Self, not Knowledge of their Enlightener, Knowledge of The Father, the First 9 Born, Elijah, Fard and anybody else outside of “their ownself.” (13/1-36) Yeah some “Enlightener’s” can be difficult, not know how to teach or just strait up ignorant, b.u.t. that’s not an excuse for you NOT getting what you “so-called” want! Did the Cashier with the shitty attitude stop you from buying your groceries? Did that Teacher you hated in High School stop you from graduating? Did the fact that he had a Woman stop any of you females from getting with ‘em? Does a cough stop you from keeping a roof over ya head? NO! When you want something, you find a way to get it, and some of us will use less than noble tactics to ensure that it happens -even if it’s temporary! LOL So here are a few pointers I wanted to give ya’ll in regards to being ‘Mathcentric’, and this science of life we effectionately call 'The Culture of I-God':

1. God is essentially Collective Consciousness; Intangible Intelligence or a Universal Mind permeating all things and is channeled through these physical vehicles -that serve as the conduit of this ONE, ULTIMATE, reality. Man being a sentient being and capable of pondering his own existence is the highest of these forms that exist, therefore he serves as the Host of this Consciousness. Collectively, Men are it’s group reality ceen and expressed through individual eyes. Hence, we are ‘Gods’; various software programs running off the same Operating System! In essence, there is no separation of any/all things because all things are composed of the same undifferentiated matter energy. Since this is the essence of all things, various planes must exist to express the differentiation between matter and energy (i.e. gases, liquids and solids) Why? Because something can’t subsist or be in a state of subsistence without manifesting what exists or existence. In otherwords, for one to be ‘one’, two has to be manifested. For dark to be ‘dark’, light has to be manifested. For a state of nothingness prior to time, form, vector, dimension and differentiation to ‘subsist’, something has to exist! It’s like being ‘outside’ of your house. You can’t even have a concept of ‘outside’ unless you were inside first! LOL Anyway, I won’t go all through the concepts of ‘fission’, ‘double-bonded atom’, etc… to explain our Self Creation (Cosmology/Cosmogony: Triple Stage Darkness); this is something we should all spend time researching and studying! Also keep in Mind that NOTHING can compensate for our inability to ‘know’ this stuff. Sure we may have the ability to quote/practically apply Lessons, get money in this Society and have a moderate to high level of Self Esteem, b.u.t. in the solitude of our own Mind, the Universal Mind, a deep seeded insecurity & doubt about our essential reality will always ‘exist’ -simply because the concept of our ‘subsistence’ doesn’t ‘inist’.

2. Mathematics is a Mental System and represents the Operating System of The Universe. It is essentially ‘The System of all Systems’. Nothing exists or can exist without the agency of Mathematics. I often explain to the youth that, “Everything in you and around you is Mathematics with a costume on!” Even a thought is Mathematical because it follows a biochemical ‘sequence’ of synaptic connections to be transmitted! Is that not Mathematical? Mathematics is the infrastructural framework of all Cognition, Properties, Operations, Substances, Forms, Dimensions and Relationships of all ideas, forces and objects that comprise this Universe. God or Collective Consciousness is the ‘Intel’ (Intangible Intelligence/I.T.) that proceeds this infrastructural framework. The brain of the Original Man is of course the living repository, transmitter and receiver of this ‘Intel’. Supreme Mathematics is a “Contemporary” reintroduction to this Ancient (Classical) Worldview of the Original Man who utilized this ‘Intel’ as a ‘Mathematical Theology’ to Father Civilization. The Original Woman, her procreative abilities and her identification as the substantive aspect of all Creation represents the Primordial Womb of Dark Space through which all/any Creation has been AND will be born! A Woman being symbolic to ‘Wisdom’, it’s easy to cee why we learn that ‘Wisdom is the Way’! Elijah often said “3/4th’s or 75% of Islam (I Self Lord And Master) is dealing with the Woman” and we also teach that “Water” is symbolic to Wisdom. This is the relationship between how/why “the Earth is approximately covered under ‘Water’ (H20: Hydrogen + 2 Oxygen; ‘120’) approximately 3/4th’s of it’s surface” (8/1-40) and why we use ‘120’ (AKA Supreme ‘Wisdom’ Lessons) to help her become more refined (dress her Mind/Body in modest apparel: wear 3/4th’s) and unveil her true nature as Earth in the midst of a Patriarchal, Misogynistic, Gender Oppressive Society! The System of Mathematics utilizes Numbers & Letters to serve as symbolic units or glyphs to convey all of the Quantitative and Quantitative Operations of this System. These small ‘units’ (Numbers & Letters) were drafted by the Original People in order to simplify, define and effectively convey the complex Quantitative and Quantitative Operations within our own Cognitions and throughout the Universe. This became the birth of language. As Gods and Earths, Supreme Mathematics is our identification with this Supreme or ‘Higher’ Mental Operating System that governs any/all things -regardless if we recognize it or not.

3. When you’re introduced to 120 (The Lessons) keep in Mind that they’re Lessons; AKA ‘LEARNING MATERIALS’. We apply these Learning Materials to our life to improve how some things function and to repair shit that’s broken. There are essentially two categories that determine what type of job we’ve done, are doing and can do in the future; Good or Bad, God or Devil. Our Lessons are a file of Work Orders, showing us how a job was, could be and/or should be done! When we build with eachother using the Lessons, we are actually going over these Work Orders and bringing to eachothers attention how a job was, could be and/or should be done! The questioning about The Lessons we know (which some people fear), is actually the other person striving to find out what we’re working with. What we’re actually working with are ‘Tools” (Supreme Mathematics & Supreme Alphabet); Principles that shed light on the Procedures being used in the Work Order. So although our Lessons serve as Learning Materials or Work Order ‘Blue Prints’ to what we’re striving to build, YOU NEED the ‘Tools’ (Supreme Mathematics & Supreme Alphabet) or else you’ll never be able to identify the proper Procedures that governs the quality of your work! And like I said, this quality is either Good or Bad, God or Devil. I must also must mention that 120 (The Lessons) isn’t the only Learning Materials or ‘Blue Prints’ that exist to Gods/Earths! Some people -even Gods/Earths- are under the false impression that once they get 120 that they don’t need to learn, study or apply anything else to their life! Like I said, 120 is our ‘Blue Print’. Actually it’s a ‘Blue Print’ (120), with a set of ‘Tools’ (Supreme Mathematics & Supreme Alphabet) that trains/enables us to read all other Blueprints -whether it’s an HBO Episode of ‘The Carnival’, the science behind Gucci Mane’s Lyrics he’s probably unaware of, the symbolism in Liturgy Ceremonies, or Marketing Scheme and Power Relationship between two UFC Fighters. LOL! ALSO, let me also clarify that the set of ‘Tools’ (Supreme Mathematics & Supreme Alphabet) we use are not ONLY compatible with 120. 120 also serves as a Training Manual for how to effectively build or destroy with these Tools.

So to conclude Today’s Article I want to reemphasize that The Nation of Gods and Earths (Five Percenters) is a Culture that is God Centered. Meaning, we 'strive' for the most Righteous or Divine way to exist and use the most Righteous or Divine Principles/Procedures to corroborate this existence! I use the word 'strive' because we may not always hit the mark, although our intention or will is to do so! Mathematics is the Operating System that determines not only the structure and sequence of these Principles/Procedures, b.u.t. it determines if they’re are right and exact. 120 is our ‘Blue Print’ we use to identify the past, present and potential future function of these Principles/Procedures within a spectrum between Good and Bad; God and Devil. Upon Knowing 120, we gain access to the Wisdom of 120 and began to properly Understand the true Value of 120 (120 X 3 + 360 COMPLETE). Being Mathcentric is more than sounding intelligent and doing card tricks with Lessons, Supreme Mathematics and The Supreme Alphabet. It’s about utilizing a specific God Centered Worldview and upholding it’s Value System that adheres to AND develops Righteous Models for Cultural Sustainability. This is not a Gang, Fad or a Social Club. It’s not something you join, it’s something you became an upstanding Global Citizen of. It’s not an Organization, it is Organization! And NO, THIS IS NOT a Religion or Belief System. The Gods and Earths are a Nation of People from various different ethnic, gender, age, educational and social backgrounds. People charged with an innate responsibility of looking out for our fellow man and adding our contribution to World Civilization!

PEACE!

Peace Ya’ll! Today I wanted to share with you the Transcript of an Interview of Knowledge Gahib Divine Allah; the First Born of Power Hill (Philadelphia, PA). This Interview was conducted by The Enlightener for the Black Family (E.B.F.); a Group of Gods and an Earth (Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz, Universal Savior Shabu and Quinsheba Khadiija) who came together to produce a Professional Publication that represented the Power Hill Community of Gods/Earths. This Interview appeared in the first Issue of their Publication on February 4, 1984 -alittle over 25 years ago! Consider some of the issues that were being addressed over two decades ago in this Publication and ask yourselves if some or all of these issues are still effecting us today. Most importantly, if some or all of these issues do still exist, ‘What can we do to resolve them?” Do the knowledge and please leave a comment:

“So-called Personal Earth”
By: The Enlightener for the Black Family (E.B.F.)
-February 4th, 1984-

This Interview is an elaboration on a topic well worth the time to reflect on. This topic is the so called “Personal Earth.” As this syndrome is a product largely of the American Society and it’s cultivation, all blame and most of the emphasis on the difficulties besetting us should be placed upon the Departments of American and Western Society -for its lack of providing us (with) meaningful vehicles to serve as Institutions to create better role models for the Society at large. So we must set at doing the work ourselves. We hope this Interview will assist you:

The Enlightener for the Black Family Interviews Knowledge Gahib Divine Allah


E.B.F.: “Knowledge Divine, at one of the outdoor Rallies this Summer, you discussed the concept of the ‘Personal Earth’, as it refers to the Nation of the 5%. The Enlightener for the Black Family would like for you to acquaint our readership with your understanding of -- First, the goals of the Nation of the 5% and secondly, some of the roles that Men and Women play in reference to the Nation’s organized goals. After that point, our interview will focus on the concept of the Personal Earth. Through a question and answer format we would like to further explore your understanding of that concept.”

KGDA: “I am Knowledge Gahib Divine. At that Rally which you referred to, I talked about the so called “Personal Earth” because of certain things I was going through in my family and a lot of things I see that are at the same time going on with the rest of the Nation.

When I said ‘Personal’, I made reference to the fact that here in America, Man has a tendency to want to possess; to take something and absorb it, without letting that thing (or in this case a particular Woman) grow. What we have been shown-- I can’t say taught-- but shown through habit is that a Man generally gets a Woman and expects her to function in the same means he does. Which if we had to do things in that manner, we wouldn’t need a Woman.

Now I want to get one thing straight on the “personal” aspect, because I had to really deal with the word ‘Personal’. ‘Personal’ according to the situation means personal property. Now there are different ownerships of property; one is real or cannot be moved, and the other is personal i.e. things that are mobile and not stationary. Now our Lessons teach us that the Original Black Man is God and the owner of the Earth, So a Woman, in a sense, is one of our possessions, but that mean personal (and I will have to get a better word) as in a sense to address a situation where I am the maker and the owner of the Earth, but she-- in her own self-- has a different function. In other words, it is so much that I can control. I can control your (the Earth) revolving around me, but the Earth itself revolves (or spins) on her own axis: To show forth and prove her-- what?-- Power. Because if she doesn’t revolve on her own axis, then no life will be able to be sustained because it couldn’t stay down (on the Earth); it wouldn’t be stable because there would be no-- what?-- Gravity. So I meant personal in the way that centers around the exact opposite of the situation where you are not attached to me in a way that I control your mentally all the time.

And I want to make this clear to brothers trying to impose that on a Woman, because it is a losing battle. You will lose. And what we have done in doing this-- not all of us, but a lot of us-- is create Women that are, as far as Islam is concerned, really functionless on their own. They really have to learn to revolve on their own axis. In other words, a lot of these Sisters today-- if something would happen to their God, their children would not be taught anything. They would not know anything. The children would have no Lessons or anything because all these years, we have not given that Power to the Woman. A lot of the times, if you walk out the door, that will be the end of The Knowledge (for her and to the possible offspring).

A lot of Earths and Gods are hung up into the “more than one” aspect and that too keeps the Women away. I consider that we would be able to deal with that better, if the Woman could do a lot on her own. Then it wouldn’t be a thing about that because she would see that she is, in a sense, self supportive. Then, I don’t think, she would be as intimidated by another Woman on the scene building with her because she would know her own place. A lot of Sisters don’t teach anybody. They don’t go-- once again, I don’t say all, just most-- they don’t go out on the street and civilize. Once again, I don’t say all, just most. They wouldn’t go and tell another Woman about Islam or bring her to God to be educated.

And these were the phases that I was speaking on, when I spoke on the Personal Earth. We have to give the Woman a chance to fulfill her own needs as well and at the same time maintain our relationship as a Man and a Woman. My Woman has a career and still has the time to be here. If they were to give her a couple of more loads of work, they would throw the whole balance of the house off. Because the way things are now, you can be on a job and deal with the people at the job more than the people in your own home; on a moving, limited, talking basis. You go to work for eight hours. It takes one hour to get there and one hour to get back. By the time that you get home, it is five our six o’clock. You feed your children and everyone sits and talk for a while. About ten o’ clock, you are back in the bed. So that really gives you about 4 hours at home. So even though you are all together in the house from about five o’clock that evening to about seven o’clock the next morning, seven of those hours you are resting, so that a lot gets lost there; as far as the family unit is concerned.

In clarifying the point of the term Personal again, I don’t want it mistaken that Black Man is not the maker and owner of the Earth; he is by all means. By the same token, The Earth is of a separate equality, than that of a Black Man. And within ownership, we also have to do it. Let her do her job. Educate them to civilize. Give her the Power to civilize. And to civilize only means to teach knowledge and wisdom of the human family.”


E.B.F.: “Knowledge Divine, please elaborate a little more on the goals of the 5% Nation.”

KGDA: “The Nation of the 5% are Men, Women, and Children striving for one common cause; which is in this day and time to show and prove who the true and living God is. We are not of a political affiliation. We don’t deal with life; it’s difficulties, it’s concepts, in a pro or con manner because we are not pro or con on anything. Allah shows us that when you are pro or con, that shows a separation of one concept. It’s only one understanding and it’s right, not wrong. Pro and con can take one right thing and split it and have two people arguing over what should be whole. That even goes into the being of each person. You split something that’s right and you argue over it and neither piece is functioning without it being whole. So that is why The Father said that, “We are not pro or con”; which is why we are not into political things per se; not as a Nation. Individually, we have Gods who are into political things, but as a Nation, we do not move for a Democrat or a Republican but we move for what’s right for all. So we are a group of People; Men, Women, and Children striving for one common cause and we do not have beliefs.

We do not deal in the realm of beliefs. The one common cause that we have agreed upon is that the Black Man is God, or the God Concept of Life, because we understand that there is no mystery God and that God dwells within us; which is right now along with civilizing and refining what is around us. Being that we are a young Nation, we are actually doing that within ourselves at the same time; you are bearing witness to yourself and at the same time you are teaching, because that is our job right now. Which is why the first born in many Nations are looked at as they are the strongest people out of whatever group there was. They have to be, because first they have to clean themselves up because they all come out of the same pot. Then, at the same time you haven’t had this thing so long and you are responsible for bearing witness to it, i.e. the Knowledge and civilizing at the same time.

So this is the basic goal of the Nation right now; To civilize; which is to teach Knowledge and Wisdom. And Allah simplified that for us so that it wouldn’t be “spaced” and everybody would be dealing on the same level, he gave us the One-Twenty (120); The Knowledge and Wisdom. So that is how you civilize: You teach the Knowledge and Wisdom. That is the job of the 5%. The basic surface job. Like anything else, there are specialties that get broken down, but when giving a general statement regarding purpose, that is what we are about: Civilization and agreeing on the God Factor; because that is the only reason that we are the 5%. That is what motivates us. That is the only reason why we are the 5% because we all agree who God is and the science behind that.

Regarding the specific roles of a Man, Woman, and Child in the Nation, our Flag gives you a good picture of what our roles are. The Black Man is the Son of Man, the divine builder; so a Man’s job in the Nation is to support his Family-- not only economically, but from this Mind. For a Black Man in this day and time, you may not be able to support your family the way you would like to. But you can still stand up and be a Man and give off that light, to give your family that understanding that they need; or that light to uplift them to do what they have to do as a Family Unit. So the Man’s job in this Nation is to take that Knowledge, draw it up into that light; which is the Understanding and give it off.”

Brothers from Another Planet

“This galaxy is my cocoon, my super consciousness is moving matter like monsoons in Hawaii, all living particles within my body, vibrate, to respond, to neurotransmitters ‘Word iz Bond’, it’s on…” –Self (1998)

Peace Ya’ll!! Today I’m proud to announce the International release of the Quahadi Music/Quanaah Publishing Soundtrack ‘Brothers from Another Planet’!! As my Books can be purchased through the above Links to my E-Store, Amazon.com, and ordered through any Bookstore, ‘Brothers from Another Planet’ is currently available through the above Link to my E-Store and can be ordered through any Music Retail Outlet! Within the next Month, ‘Brothers’ will also be available on Amazon.com as both an Album and as downloadable On-Demand MP3’s. Brothers from Another Planet is a Mind Expansive Musical Journey that chronicles the creative concepts, poetical insights & living experiences of Golden Sun (my Physical) and myself. Recorded on the Cusp of the New Millennium and re-released in 2009, "Brothers from Another Planet" weaves tales of rich Atlantean Folklore, takes you on visual tour of historical places and submerges you into various realms of Consciousness that are both entertaining and enlightening!

For those of you who didn’t know it, I’ve been doing Music -Emceein’, Producing & Performing- for quite a while. Since I’ve directed a great deal of my attention towards my Youth Programs, Publishing Books, etc... I haven’t been recording Music as much as I used to -although I’ve still been producing Music. As a matter of fact, my Queens and a couple of their friends have been educating me on how to produce “Jerk” Music so a few weeks ago we got together and created a song called ‘Move Out My Way’. Although I produced the Music, recorded their Lyrics and shot the Video, they wrote their own Lyrics, edited the Video themselves and created the UnIQue JerkZ Youtube Channel. It was a lot of fun and taught them a lot about the process of taking an idea from Knowledge to Born. Two days before we completed the Project we were walking outta the grocery store and one of them jokingly told someone else to, ‘Move Out My Way’ and that’s how it all began! LOL Anyway, please take a moment and check out their Video and leave a comment for them, they’ll really appreciate that! -smile- Now as far as The ‘Brothers’ Album is concerned… it’s a collaborative Album featuring myself and Golden Sun (my physical Brother). We released it as a Soundtrack because it’s the audio backdrop of another Project we’re going to be releasing in the future. -grin-

My active Music Career began in the Winter of 95/Spring of 96 when I left College and began to develop my skills as a Poet & Spoken Word Artist. I would attend various Poet/Spoken Word Venues to spit my pieces and began to get a lot of positive feedback. From there I began to write rhymes. Keep in Mind I had always been immersed in HipHop since the late 1970’s, b.u.t. besides beat boxin & breakin, I never began to seriously rap until much later. There was a burning desire for me to be heard and I began to find ways to make it happen. Mind you, this was all on the cusp of me gaining KOS. Anyway, after rhyming for a minute, me, Golden Sun and a few other Brothers -Rah Khaheeb, Basir Fhem & D Chiron Allah- formed a Group back in the late 1990’s called ‘The Lost Tribe of Atlantis’. After performing locally and producing our own Music with a makeshift studio, we eventually changed our name to ‘The Illuminists’. This is also the time I began to mess around with the MPC 2000 and learned to produce Music; what a drug! If they had ‘MPC Anonymous’ Group, I would be going. All Producers who’ve touched it or various other pieces of production equipment know exactly what I’m talking about…, them AND their significant other. LOL

Now as ‘The Illuminists’ we built a recording studio in the attic of a five bedroom house, called it ‘The Illuminist Lodge’ and began to perform throughout WNY, Canada, Chicago and NYC. For those of you Gods/Earths who were attended the Annual NGE Show & Prove between the years of 1997-2003, you probably saw us performing! We’re the one’s that NEVER spent time on stage, we were ALWAYS out in the crowd!! LOL To this day, me and Golden Sun despise mics wit cords; we always saw ‘em like ‘a rope to bind in’ (4/1-14). Well, eventually we got to the point where we got into the Offices of Razorsharp Records (RZA’s Label) and I was consistently building/meeting with his Personal Assistant (L. McCall) about addin on to the Label. Aside from being on the Guest List at the Record Release Party for ‘The Swarm’ Album, we never signed a Contract with The Wu and our Group eventually fell apart due to creative differences, b.u.t. me and Golden Sun continued to perform and make Music. This all went down in the span of about 8-10 years. Golden Sun eventually honed his skills as an Emcee and a Producer and has continued to perform while I fell back from the performance scene and have continued to produce Music for him and various local Artists. ‘Brothers from Another Planet’ is our first Project we’re making available to the public and symbolizes a musical wormhole into our parallel Universe.

Cee, when you gain KOS it’s supposed to permeate any and all of your people activities; that’s a Culture! ‘Brothers from Another Planet’ is simply another angle for me to reach/teach the masses of people. By taking this Project from Knowledge to Born I’ve also developed another skill set in addition to skills I learned from Self Publishing; I’m capable of putting out an Independent Album that has shelf life. In other words, it’s not bootleg and can be ordered through any National/International Music Retail Outlets. This was very, very important to me because it says a lot about one’s work, it’s commercial legitimacy and one’s ability to produce a quality product. Ultimately, I’m dealing with the 9/1-40, “Why does the Devil teach that a Mystery God brings all this?” In this Lessons we learn that the 85% (AKA: masses of people), “knows that its rains, hails, snows and also hears thunder above their heads b.u.t. 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.” Because the masses of people usually believe in the 10% on face value, it’s important for us to utilize this information to work in our own best interest. Although my Attribute is Saladin Quanaah’ Allah, I made it my Name by legally changing it in accordance with the Civil Laws and Statues of NYS (How to Legally Change Your Name Without a Lawyer). Did I have to? Now Cipher, b.u.t. since I did, this ‘face value’ shit has afforded me a lot of mainstream opportunities to expose people to our Culture -just like any other Nation of People who literally come in their names and expose people to their Culture. So, everything I do has my signature on it and this signature represents a Nation: a collective body of people called Gods & Earths. When people find out I write Books, you don’t know how many people ask me questions of ‘legitimacy’ like, “Are they published?” which really means, “Is it just some stuff you have on paper or some bootleg shit? Is it in a Bookstore?” This doubt has nothing to do with me personally, this is based upon their belief in the 10%; a ‘religious’ belief that whatever a Black Man is saying is probably ‘thunder above their heads’. People are sometimes floored when they realize that, “Naw, you can order my Books through any Bookstore or purchase it Online.” Why do they feel this way? Because the 10% have established a quality control level of Commercial Codes/Standards that 85% ‘believe in’. This is not to say that these Commercial Codes/Standards are all bullshit because people should take pride in the products they’re putting out. B.u.t. ultimately, having them available to mainstream American Society DOES NOT make our products any more legitimate than if we’re selling ‘em at the Corner Store or outta our backpack. The point I’m making is this: Whatever we produce must be rooted in our ability to Show & Prove that we’re equal to or greater than other Nations through the science of education! So whatever other Nations are positively doing, we should be striving to do/doing equally or better! This is why I have such an issue with so-called Gods/Earths advocating uncivilized behavior and thinking/talking like savages. As Gods/Earths, the names themselves demands of us to have higher expectations for ourselves! If we don’t have, express nor strive to express these high expectations, this reveals an obvious contradiction with who we’re trying to say we are AND what we want to people to believe we are…

So to conclude Today’s Article, I want to encourage all of you with talents to began not only thinking about ways to establish socioeconomic empowerment through putting out your own products, b.u.t. putting out products that Show & Prove that we’re equal to all Nations with the science of education. We need to be putting out legitimate products that can’t be disqualified because of our lack of professionalism (bootlegism), consistency, adherence to uniform commercial standards, or mainstream availability. When you look at a Nation like (Nippon) Japan, they not only built themselves from the ground up to compete with other Nations, b.u.t. they’re leading many Nations in various spheres of endeavors. In this respect, they are an excellent model for Cultural sustainability. Although The NGE (Five Percenters) as a Nation has been around for alittle over 40 years, we’re still in an infancy stage when it comes to collectively developing a strong Economic base. Along with developing a Cultural Consensus in regards to God/Earth Values, Principles and Behavior, producing our own “legitimate” products that can equally compete with or lead other Nations are the building blocks of this base! This has taken and will take time and begins with one product at a time b.u.t. we’re investing in our future generations!! So that years from now, our children -and people in general- will be able to walk into any Store or place Online Orders for God/Earth Centered Health/Body Care products, Food, Clothing, Entertainment, etc.. that support and promote our National -not individual- Agenda; with a ‘God/Earth Certified’ seal of quality. -smile-

So in addition to the ‘Brothers from Another Planet’ Soundtrack, here are some other Artists that I know of who’re putting out God/Earth Centered Music. Please check out their Sites and continue to support Good Music:

Peace Ya’ll! Today I wanted to address some current events. Do the Knowledge!

What’s da science G.O.D.?!
“85er’s sit around and talk about other people. The 10 Percent are always talking about objects. The 5 Percent speak about growth and development through ‘positively’ contributing to Civilization.” -Self

Here’s a few recent activities I wanna make Knowledge Born about:

At the end of July I appeared on a Live Online Call-In Show called Barbershop 360. A Brotha named Eric is the Host of the Show and it’s based outta Oakland, CA! The Show was called ‘The Secrets of Higher Learning’ and I had an opportunity to build about various subjects as well as promote my Literature. You can do the knowledge on the Interview here: The Secrets of Higher Learning. I was invited back on the Show some time in the near future and I’m looking forward to that opportunity to build further and promote a couple of my New Projects I’ll be launching very, very soon! -smile-

Two Weeks ago A.S.I.A. was one of the Sponsors of ‘The Political Process INC’ Youth Voter Registration Drive and Basketball Tournament here in Atlantis. Me and my physical -Golden Sun- also coached the A.S.I.A. Basketball Team to a Championship Victory! The above image is our Team Photo after the Game.

In August I was one of the Guests on a Local Television Show (LCTV) to help promote an Allstar Basketball Reunion Classic between two rivalry High Schools here in Atlantis. The Weekend Event will take place Labor Day Weekend and will be centered around an Allstar Basketball Game between Alumni Players who graduated between the years of 1980’s to the 2000’s from Niagara Falls High School (NFHS) and LaSalle Senor High! This Event is the talk of the Region and symbolizes the foundation upon which #4 NBA Draft Pick Jonny Flynn was forged! Since the closing of LaSalle and consolidation of NFHS, this traditional rivalry came to an end, so a couple of my childhood friends got together and organized this Event. Without question, this highly anticipated Event will help define and preserve the Legacy of a Legendary Rivalry that produced some of the greatest Students, Athletes and Productive Members of Society the WNY Area has ever seen -and will continue to see for many years to come! I’m also looking forward to building/networking with the Brothas I grew up competing with and against. And YES, I will be playing! -grin- For more information about this Weekend Event you can go here: NFHS vs LaSalle.

Keep in Mind that one of the best indicators of living out this Culture is what we’re actively doing! Not just what we’re doing for ourselves as rugged individuals, b.u.t. what we’re actually doing for others & the World we are living in. Gods/Earths have always been known by their Community Involvement, Youth Advocacy and Environmental Awareness! In addition to the various other positive fields of endeavor, Community Involvement, Youth Advocacy and Environmental Awareness are culturally genetic markers that have always distinguished Gods/Earths from other Cultural Worldviews. These hallmark expressions are vital components of Nation Building. So if you ever cee Gods/Earths who’re aren’t actively involved/participating in the affairs that shape their Community, who don’t have a functional relationship with youth and/or aren’t involved in projects designed to address/improve qualities of life issues and the environment, they have a gross misunderstanding of their “Duty as a Civilized Person” (18/1-40). It also explains why they’re going through -and go through- certain ciphers because they’re failing to “perform their Duty” (19/1-40). Keep in Mind that I share some of the things I’m doing to help show people -especially Gods/Earths- about this Duty. No I am not “the authority” on this Duty nor am I “THE” National Representative of The NGE. LOL! So regardless if an individual calls him or herself a God or Earth, realize that this doesn’t mean they’re Civilized or capable of performing the Duty of a Civilized Person.


Original Thought Podcast featuring Freedum Allah & Lord Jamar
“I’ll snap a Nigga’s neck!” -Poppa Wu (Freedum Allah)

For those who haven’t heard this I encourage you to please check out the Daily Podcast Section of Original Thought Metazine and do the knowledge on this Interview. First and foremost I would like to make a formal disclaimer that the views expressed by Original Thought Metazine, Freedum Allah & Lord Jamar does/did not reflect a National Consensus amongst Gods/Earths. That Interview reflected their own personal views that may/may not be supported by other Gods/Earths.

Anyway, the major theme of this Interview was Freedum Allah minimizing the importance & necessity of knowing 120. He stated that he didn’t know 120 like that word for word anymore and/or don’t know the Lessons at all anymore. Much of what was spoken was that it’s all about the Understanding, the Lessons are for Muslims and made for a Black Man/Woman of the 1930’s, and that we’re beyond that now! It was also stated that they don’t belong to/represent The NGE or Nation of Gods and Earths; Freedum Allah stated he was Allah’s Five Percent and Lord Jamar stated he named his Album ‘The Five Percent’ Album for a reason, not The NGE Album. Freedum also stated his Universal Flag has 16 points not 8 and that he gives his babies Lessons he makes for them, not no Muslim Lessons. 

Now, although I understood many of the things Freedum Allah & Lord Jamar were saying as a person ‘in the know’, there are many, many more who listened to and will listen to that Interview who’ll get the wrong idea! For those people who’re interested in learning more about The NGE, I had to consider what that Interview sounds like to them. I also asked myself, “Is this what we represent?” I think that as Gods/Earths we emphasize alittle too much “How I cee it!”, and need to be alittle more conscious of “How we’re ceen!” We must always be considerate of this because a major part of KOS is being aware of our surroundings.

Well, I built with the ‘God’ Life about the Interview and the idea of, “It ain’t about the Lessons no more!” and he plainly stated, “I can cee how this idea benefits an enemy, b.u.t. I don’t cee how this idea is of any benefit to us.” When you consider this, it puts not only this b.u.t. many things Gods/Earths express in perspective! Another thing that was continually emphasized in the Interview was, “It’s all about the Understanding”. This is Peace, when it’s expressed in the proper context! B.u.t. to make this statement and then turn around and minimize/dismiss the Knowledge (Lessons) that our Understanding is based upon isn’t right or exact. It’s like slowly sawing off our own legs while we’re standing there advocating the benefits of standing up. LOL We need to keep in Mind how these things sound to a person who’s interested in learning about The NGE, because 85% of the time they’ll be the one’s who’re hearing us. 10% of the time THERE WILL BE people “listening” to this with hopes of using this information against us for a profit!

Make no mistakes about it, The foundation of The NGE, Five Percenters, Five Percent Nation, Allah’s Nation, Allah’s Nation of the Five Percent or whatever name you wanna use to call us or yourselves has always been 120 (The Lessons). This is, was, and continues to be one of many Traditions that distinguishes us from other Nations of People. In the 1960’s, Gods/Earths were getting questioned about their Memorization, Recital & Breakdown of our Lessons (120), not some Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet! If our foundation was based upon using Supreme Mathematics & Supreme Alphabets, do you know how many people would be considered Citizens within The Nation of Gods & Earths?! Just thinking about the maaaaaany characters within the Rap Game itself who have used and still use our Math & Alphabet to pimp dey lyrics gives me a migraine. Now imagine aaaaaaaall the people surfing the Net and coming across info about The Gods/Earths in the Media, reading God/Earth Centered Blogs/Literature, Watching Gods/Earths Vlogs, etc…-shakes head- In otherwords, if it’s ultimately all about, “Knowledge is 1, God is 7, B is Be or Born, W is Wisdom, etc…”, what actually distinguishes us from anybody else? All Cultures produce a Numerical and Alphabetical System and use these interrelated Systems to solidify ideas & construct words that eventually give birth to a language. A language is used to define, express, preserve and perpetuate these ideas, and these ideas become the building blocks of that Culture’s Worldview; Principles and Values. Supreme Mathematics and the Supreme Alphabet were designed to be used in conjunction with 120 (The Lessons). So when a God or Earth is building with/about Supreme Mathematics or the Supreme Alphabet, they usually go into the related Lesson that corroborates what they’re saying! Why? Because it’s not personal. It doesn’t mean that what we’re personally saying isn’t valid. What this means is this, “Let’s utilize what we both know to be right & exact as the standard upon which our views/perspectives are measured.” The Lesson itself will determine if we’re right & exact, not my personal feelings/beliefs or yours! It’s a Quality Control Mechanism to maintain the integrity of the Square (Truth) and a Preventative Maintenance Method for those who wanna be on some other shit! For example, if a person is doing all this talking about, “Knowledge (1) Build (8) is ‘R’ in the Supreme Alphabet; Rule or Ruler” b.u.t doesn’t know or even care about the 18th Degree in the 1-40’s, “What is the Duty of a Civilized Person?”, think about what they’re missing!! This is just one example! On another level, we may be personally beyond certain Lessons in our life because there are certain things we may have personally learned from. B.u.t. we must always consider those who’re not beyond these Lessons! Sure I know my 120, b.u.t. me not knowing my Lessons now-a-day and advocating that it’s no longer important to know them by heart, puts myself and other people at risk of falling victim. How? Because if I don’t Know I can’t be Wise enough to gain an Understanding nor help others do the same. As light bearers, it is our responsibility to teach “…Civilization to others.” (19/1-40). If I just came out dismissing our Cultural Tradition of Memorizing, Reciting & Breaking down our Lessons (120), What will people have to go on? What will serve as their cultural basis and foundation for their growth & development?!

All of these questions and many more came to Mind when I heard that Interview and I must strongly disagree with what was “loosely” advocated in regards to 120! Much of what was said was expressed in the wrong context and there wasn’t enough elaboration -especially for people NOT in the know- about the importance of the foundation (Knowing 120) and then building upon this foundation (gaining an Understanding of 120).

120 is something that NO ONE IS ABOVE being questioned about! If a person proclaims that they’re a God/Earth within this Nation, then they’re proclaiming that they deal with 120! In what capacity? It’s for them to say and for anyone to have the right to ask, regardless if ya Buster Rhymes, Poppa Wu or whoever! Some people are deliberately trying to distance themselves from or advocate against our long standing Tradition of Memorizing, Reciting & Breaking down our Lessons (120) because they simply don’t want to be questioned about anything! Not saying that this is the intentions of Freedum Allah or Lord Jamar b.u.t. regardless if it is or not, advocating an idea that means taking an emphasis off our Lessons will allow people to be above questioning -while giving them all the benefits of proclaiming they’re Gods/Earths without necessarily knowing or doing anything to corroborate this! Also, the Lesson(s) you are misquoting, dismissing or forgot is usually the very same Lesson(s) you’re presently learning in life or strait up fallin’ victim to!

I-John Doe
“I'm alone, alone, alone... I'm losing command” -Capt. James T. Kirk

When I was young, unbeknownst to me, I had an opportunity to meet a person who would forever be an integral part in my journey towards gaining Knowledge of Self (KOS). We’ll call him ‘John Doe’. John was able to recite the dialogue from every original Star Trek Episode that was made, with clarity & precision! John was amazing b.u.t John also suffered from Paranoia Schizophrenia. I met him because he was one of my Ole Earth’s Patients at the Mental Health Facility she was a Case Worker at.

John played a key role in my Life because I learned at a very young age that regurgitating alot of information doesn’t automatically equal mental stability. As I got older and eventually became a Citizen of this Nation, I brought that valuable Lesson with me. TRANSLATION: It never really impressed me to cee and hear Gods & Earths reciting their Lessons. Maybe children, b.u.t. definitely not adults. As a matter of fact, it also never impressed me to hear people reciting Bible Scriptures, Koran in Arabic, Kemetic Incantations or spittin long ass Afrocentric Spoken Word Pieces off the dome! -shrugs- I’ve always been much more interested in and impressed at how people actually lived their lives. Through John, I realized that people could be completely outta their damn Minds and/or completely dysfunctional, while at the same time they’re seemingly demonstrating some so-called “said ability” (20/1-40).

People I’m not minimizing the fact that it’s important to “know” your Lessons, Scriptures, Surahs, Telemarketing Script, etc.. word for word and be able to access this information at the drop of a dime. I’m emphasizing the fact that repeating information often tells you very little about a person’s mental instability, illogic, uncivilized attitudes and dysfunctional behavior. Regardless of a person’s ability to recite some information, they could be suffering from mild/extreme mental, emotional and even physical disorders that undermines their ability to actually apply this information to their lives! This is often the reason why various Gods/Earths can appear to be highly intelligent on one hand b.u.t. simultaneously show obvious signs of a mental/emotional disability. It is my position that many of the Cultural distortions we cee within The NGE and within Original People in general are the expression of various mental, emotional and even physical disabilities and ALL OF THESE ISSUES can be etiologically traced to the Trans-generational effects of Slavery & the present day Social Construct of those of us living the Wilderness of North America, and Colonization of those Original People abroad. Herein lies another problem; What da hell do we do about it?

First of all, we can’t wait for somebody else to solve problems they may not have the intelligence, expertise, financial interest or empathy to even resolve. Once we recognize it, we become the one’s responsible for doing whatever we can to fix it. This does not give the people or person immunity who had a hand in causing it either! They will of course have to answer for their own deeds -regardless if we’re around to cee it-, because ‘Justice’ is a universal corrective force and no debt in the Universe goes unpaid. Sometimes we may be dealing with problems where we honestly need some kind of Professional Help. What further compounds the problem is the fact that many of us have a hard time recognizing our own issues -especially those of us who call ourselves Gods/Earths! If some of you recognize that somebody may need Professional Help with Mental Health issues, Parenting Skills, Drug/Alcoholic/Sex Addictions, Domestic Violence, Homelessness, etc… then please build with the person about it and/or provide them with information to some Agency that can help them! Having 120 is a beautiful opportunity for us to have access to information that’ll help solve various problems in our lives, b.u.t. there are many problems, often complex, that we had and still have in our lives before we even got 120. It was these problems that had ‘John’ classified as Mentally Ill, even though we was intelligent enough to be able to recite a whole bunch of information.

Relationships (and their stability)
“God is a group reality ceen through individual eyes.” -Life Justice

I’m approaching my Honorable Day when I finished learning 120, and it’ll be 14 short years since I’ve had this information on cap. Along this journey I’ve been learning many things in regards to the reality of being the True & Living God. One of the most important things has been this; God is a Group Reality ceen through Individual eyes. What this ultimately means is that the reality of being God -and Earth- hinges upon our relationships. I don’t care what Religious, Metaphysical or Spiritual Text you study, when you ponder the Concept of God, Goddess, Neter, The Creator, The Great Spirit, etc.., the highest value always lies in His/Her/It’s RELATIONSHIP to His/Her/It’s Creation! Therefore, our ‘relationships’ with/to ourselves, eachother and the Planet ultimately expresses our conceptualization the True & Living God. Culture is the sum total of all of our people activities and these activities are ‘relationships’ we develop with ourselves, eachother and the Planet. There is no idea, concept or expression of Culture without such ‘relationships’, and forms of alienation, isolation, separation, anti-social behavior and our inability to create/maintain relationships is symbolic to the ‘Island-like’ “place where the Devil was manufactured” (27/1-40). Show me a person who has a chronic problem with establishing positive productive “functional” relationships with themselves, other people and the Planet and I’ll show you a person who’s estranged from the concept of God…

I’m saying all of this to get people -Gods/Earths in particular- to begin to realize that there is no Nation, Family or even a function Individual without ‘relationships’. These are very, very basic things to understand yet many Gods/Earths over look this. Cee, People don’t really care about how much we know until they really know how much we care. Care is consideration and consideration can only exist if a person has a relationship (connection) to that which they’re considering. Many Gods/Earths are simply very inconsiderate, have an infantile level of maturity when it comes to relationships, and are an outright embarrassment when it comes to their words/actions in relationship to being a God/Earth. Some of these growth & development issues come from the fact that they’re holding on to things that they consider more valuable. Some of these issues are a direct result of childhood trauma & dysfunctional family issues they still haven’t resolved. Some of these issues are simply because Niggas don’t give a fuck -for various reasons that often unknown to them. Regardless of what these reasons are, the fact is that the inability to create/maintain positive relationships is dysfunctional and bears no semblance of Civilized behavior or personal refinement.

We, as self defined Gods/Earths, need to clean ourselves up by working on our relationships -past & present! Therein is where our “4 Devils” (10/1-14) lie… In taking on this task, we need to develop higher “behavioral” expectations for ourselves and be exemplary when it comes to defining, articulating and preserving this Culture. If you need help in certain areas, ASK FOR IT!!!! We only make ourselves look like a bigger ass when we try to use the Title of being God/Earth to mask transparent insecurities, self delusions, grandiose ideas, lies and various other Devils we’re obviously dealing with. I’m not the sharpest pencil in the box so if I can clearly cee these things going on amongst Gods/Earths and our People in general, I know many others can cee this too! Again, it’s very, very important to work on stabilizing our ‘relationships’. For those of you who’re confused about what I mean by ‘relationships’, I’m referring to ‘your connection’ to a person, place or thing. The Universe itself is interrelated and as Gods/Earths we learn that “Supreme Mathematics are the key to understanding our relationship to the Universe.” When it comes to gaining KOS and living out the reality of being God/Earth, we need to really learn how to talk to/connect with people in positive ways. We need to learn how to treat ourselves and other people with more respect. We need to be more considerate of our environment and develop better relationships with our families -the family we were born into and the new families we’re trying to develop. These are fundamental things to our growth & development not only as Gods/Earths b.u.t as basic, human, beings! How much more should we expect of ourselves and how much more do people expect of us because we carry the Honorable Titles of Gods/Earths? If you’re saying you don’t care what other people think or how they feel, that’s cool… B.U.T. at least consider what you’re thinking about your ownself, because our words, ways and actions are an undeniably expression of this personal relationship.

Peace!

My KOS Anthology

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Peace!

I Am Legend; G.O.D. (Gold, Oil and Diamonds)

What's in a NAME?

Peace Ya’ll! I posted the above image of AZ to make Knowledge Born that I appear on his New Album “I Am Legend: G.O.D. (Gold, Oil & Diamonds)”. If you haven’t heard it yet I encourage you to pick it up! I definitely give The NGE some positive PR and I’m thankful for being given this opportunity to expand my reach to the masses of people! Having a cameo on AZ’s Album, working as a Consultant for the Gangland Series about ‘The Hidden Valley Kings’, Mentoring Youth, writing Books, doing Music and working on various other Projects within and outside of my Community and Country has been a dream come true for me! My biggest words of advice for anybody working to manifest their Career are these simple words: Take time to ponder and work on the condition of your heart! When I say ‘Heart’ I’m talking about your Will or Intent behind what you say and do! What’s in your heart, where your heart is at and why it’s there will determine what you get out of the Universe and what you bring into your Life. Because my heart is sincerely rooted in sharing of these ideas to contribute to Civilization, NOT covert/overt desires for notoriety, fame, making money, stroking my EGO, impressing females, etc..., there are many things I’ve been able to do and will continue to do. So always remember that ‘When ya heart ain’t right….., nothing else will be right’ -“regardless to whom or what” (11/1-14)! Anyway, enough about that, let me get into Today’s Article…

When I was going through the 14/1-14, “What is the meaning of MGT and GCC?”, I had some insights I wanted to share with you in regards to the science of a NAME.

Cee, a NAME is a word used to identify and officially define how a person, place or thing functions. A NAME or ‘making a name for yourself’ also identifies a person’s reputation (the overall quality or character ceen by people). A NAME establishes the foundational Principles that shape a person’s Values, orders their Priorities and ultimately defines their Culture (way of life). In the Bible we learn, “In the beginning was the word…” Well ‘the word’ is a NAME. This is the reason why during Ancient (and Contemporary Times) naming our Children was/is sacred to us. This is also the reason why when some of our Ancestors were enslaved and/or colonized, the first thing that was done by the Perpetrators was to rename them. So a NAME is much more than what we call ourselves and what people call us; this can never be minimized!

What NAME do you come in?

In Indigenous Societies children are born given a NAME that symbolizes their qualities, assigns their role in the Family/Society and charts their destiny. When a Child is Christened they’re given a Christian NAME that denotes their alliance/allegiance to Christianity -regardless if this child wants to or not, this NAME orientates them psychologically. When a person joins the Nation of Islam they receive an “X” to replace their last NAME (surname); their surname is usually a slave name of European Descent that was handed down to their Ancestors by the Slave Masters who once owned them. Various Cultural and Religious Movements that were/are designed to establish/re-establish certain Principles, Values and Priorities in their Members also recognize the importance of their People coming in NAMES that identify and officially define some -if not all- of these Principles, Values and Priorities. As a Declaration of one’s Independence, ‘Nationhood’ or ‘Nationality’ (14/N= Now, Nation or End/Supreme Alphabet), these NAME(S) they choose -or that have been chosen for them- is ultimately used to let it be officially Known (1) that they have an alliance/allegiance to a specific Culture (4); a summation of certain Principles, Values and Priorities.

(14/1-14) What is the meaning of MGT & GCC?
“Muslim Girl Training and General Civilization Class. These are THE NAMES GIVEN TO the Girls and Women that belong to Islam in North America teaching them: How to keep a home, How to raise her children, How to keep a Husband, Sew & Cook, in general How to Act at Home and Abroad. These Training Units were NAMED BY our Prophet by the name of W.D. Fard.”

This Lesson emphasizes the importance of observing, identifying and officially defining how a female functions and her reputation, as Girls and as Women. The Training Units are four basic components that we also observe and identify as natural female functions such as:

· How to keep a Home
· How to raise their Children
· How to keep a Husband
· Sew & Cook (Homemaking)

Keep in Mind that “4” is symbolic to “Culture” (Culture/Supreme Mathematics), so these four basic components determine a female’s ability to align herself with any Culture (way of life); at home and abroad. Although according to the 14/1-14, MGT means ‘Muslim Girl Training’ and GCC means “General Civilization Class’, MGT is also the acronym for ‘Management’ and GCC is the acronym for ‘General Control Center’. So these, MGT & GCC -her ability to Manage/Administrate or be Manageable and her sense of stability (psychological “control center” of gravity)- are THE NAMES GIVEN TO the Girls and Women that ‘belong to’ (are a part of) ‘Islam’ (I Sincerely Love Allah’s Mathematics, I Self Lord And Master, In Self Lay All Mathematics). In The Nation of Gods and Earths this means that it’s important to first (1) observe and identify how a Girl or Woman functions, the type of reputation she has and if she really has it in her to live this way of life (4) before you give her a NAME as your Earth. You can make a proper assessment of this by observing and identifying how she performs the above four basic components; How she keeps a home, How to raises her child(ren), How she keeps a Man (Husband), How she Sews & Cooks (her Homemaking Skills). These four basic components -along with other natural female functions- gives a Man insight into her degree of cultivation and her ability to cultivate her ownself. It’s important to realize these four basic components are ‘Training Units’ designed to help a female make the transition from a Girl to a Woman, and it’s a process born from her own volition, conviction and condition! These Training Units were (and are) NAMED BY us as Men meaning: ‘observed and identified’ by us as natural female functions. In the most ideal situation, Girls are taught and trained in these units by Women who already have experience in how to apply these skill sets at home & abroad. Although Men can and do teach Girls and Women many things, the above four basic components are natural skill sets that Women teach eachother.

Why is it not a Man’s job to teach a Woman How to keep a home, How to raise the child(ren), How to keep a Man (Husband), How to Sew & Cook (her Homemaking Skills)?

Because a Woman should already know these things; she's A WOMAN! A Man can only teach a Girl these things “theoretically” b.u.t. she eventually must take it upon herself to do these things for herself. Actually, these things represent a natural process of a female’s maturity; a Girl becoming a Woman and taking responsibility for her own life as an Adult. Unfortunately, many Women never learned How to keep a home, How to raise child(ren), How to keep a Man (Husband), How to Sew & Cook (her Homemaking Skills) as little Girls and this places a responsibility on a Man to find a way to “train her” in these Units. Now a huge problem arises because these are things this Woman should have learned as a Girl. If a Man puts himself in a position to teach this Woman these things, at one point or another he’s going to give her the impression that he’s treating her like a Girl. This is why females may protest saying, “You’re not my Father!”, “I’m not your child!”, etc… when a Man takes the initiative to educate a Woman about things she should have learned as a Girl! Although this relationship may initially come across as a Man simply being supportive of a Woman’s growth and development, this “Man teaching things to a Woman she should’ve learned as a Girl” Dynamic will always end up offending, belittling and disrespecting a Woman! The reverse is also true and this is often the case with Women who find themselves in relationships with males who haven’t matured as Men; they find themselves trying to teach them b.u.t. end up treating them like a Boy! Both of these examples are recipes for resentment! Let me repeat that: Both of these examples are recipes for resentment! The best way to avoid/minimize offending, belittling or disrespecting a Woman who hasn’t learned How to keep a home, How to raise the child(ren), How to keep a Man (Husband), How to Sew & Cook (her Homemaking Skills) is to direct her to another Woman -or Women- who already have experience in how to apply these skill sets at home & abroad. The same method should be used with Men; they need another Man -or Men- to show them the natural process of maturity, becoming a Man and taking responsibility for his own life as an Adult. When a Woman deals with a Girl or another Woman, there’s a level of gender specific accreditation that is conveyed in the Principles, Values and Priorities they communicate within this relationship. The same holds true with Men dealing with a Boy or another Man. As I stated before in another Article, Men must realize that as males we adorn the phallus bearing costume that represents Misogyny and Global Gender Oppression towards females!! Because of this undeniable fact, we have to work extra hard to find effective ways of dealing with Women that shows and proves to them that we don’t uphold that chauvinistic Status Quo! When we as Men (particularly Gods) take it upon ourselves to teach a Woman How to keep a home, How to raise the child(ren), How to keep a Man (Husband), How to Sew & Cook (her Homemaking Skills), we often unknowingly perpetuate the gender oppressive trauma females have been feeling since she they were born; regardless of how righteous of our intentions may be!! The point I’m making is this: Because this Patriarchal Society inculcates the insecurity we cee in females (doesn’t teach the meaning of MGT & GCC -her ability to Manage/Administrate or be Manageable and her sense of stability (psychological center of gravity), IF/WHEN WE DON’T TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION -especially when we’re dealing with the four basic components that helps identify/define her Womanhood-, we can end up ‘Destroying’ a relationship we may have had the most ‘Divine’ intentions about! (4/D= Divine or Destroy/Supreme Alphabet)

So to conclude Today’s Article, take a few of these points into consideration in dealing with the 14/1-14:

1. Insure that you teach a Woman the importance of making a NAME for herself and that the renewal of her Mind hinges upon her defining/re-defining “Who” she is. “Who” is a question of identity and who she defines herself as is the NAME she comes in, how she functions and the reputation she carries and aspires to. When Women get Married, they traditionally take on the Man’s last NAME. This act within itself shows her alliance/allegiance to his Nation and her willingness to extend the legacy of this family tree. A Woman who chooses to Know (1) the Culture (4) of the Gods and Earths likewise declares her alliance/allegiance and citizenship into this Nation by eventually choosing a Righteous NAME that’s derived from and reflects the Principles, Values and Priorities of this Culture. Since she is the first teacher of the child, she sets the psychological tone for how this child attends and responds to the World. If a Woman has insecurities about who she is, her alliance/allegiance is questionable and she’s flaky about choosing a Righteous NAME, she will pass these fears on to her child. Also, emphasize that when it comes to Knowledge of “Self”, her NAME (how she functions and the reputation she carries and aspires to) represents her autonomy; it’s Knowledge of Herself, not ‘Knowledge of You’ or ‘Knowledge for You’!!

2. “In the beginning was the word” -A NAME establishes the foundation to establish/re-establish the Principles that shape a person’s Values, orders their Priorities and ultimately defines their Culture (way of life). Just because a female may come in the name of Queen, Earth, etc… doesn’t mean that she acknowledges, observes of even respects these Principles, Values and Priorities. The basic Training Units identified in the 14/1-14 equips you with the ability to observe and assess her Principles, Values, Priorities and Cultural development.

3. Before you give the NAME “Earth” to a female, observe how she already expresses the Training Units (How she keeps her Home, How she raises the child(ren), How she keeps a Man (Husband), How she Sews & Cooks (her Homemaking Skills) at home and abroad! This will tell you upfront what you’ll have to deal with if she decides to really Know (1) this Culture (4).

4. If you cee that a Woman needs to be taught and trained in certain areas she should have learned as a Girl, don’t be so quick to be the one to teach her! Respect that another Woman is the ‘best knower’ of these skill sets and find a way to get her in tune with a Women -or Women- that can help her develop (mature) in these areas. Even though you may have the most righteous intentions, a Woman will eventually start to resent you when she feels like you’re belittling, minimizing and disrespecting her by treating her like a little Girl. And if you have/find a Woman that likes you to treat her like a little Girl, this means she doesn’t want to grow up! My point is, when building with a female, there are certain Lessons and/or phrase is certain Lessons that demand a gender specific approach in order for a female to get the best educational experience out it! It is in my perspective that the 14/1-14 deserves such a gender specific approach.

Peace!

My Finger-Roll! LOL

Cultural Knock-offs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Peace!
