One of our Righteous Brothers
By: Allah Universal Lord Life Justice Shabazz



We have been working on an build called, "Is There Such A Thing As Disposable People," which is really an addendum to "A Person Of That Said Ability" [from the perspective of the quote: "Me and my people who were lost from home for 379 years (456 years to date); (11/1-40)"] when we started thinking about the above topic: "One of Our Righteous Brothers" [a topic taken from Lesson 5 in the One to Fourteen]. For those who know One Hundred and Twenty Degrees, as well as those who are familiar with the lesson, the subject is Jesus; a person which is described within as being "One of our righteous brothers." The degree also speaks about Christianity, and since your power jewel is "justice" it speaks about your Knowledge Cipher Degree in the Student Enrollment as the wrong foods, as well as your Knowledge at a cipher degree within the Knowledge to Know (the) ledge of your culture, which addresses why we started murdering beings who were trying to learn and do like us. And since it is our Culture which defines the confines of our Freedom and Truth is place on this Square of pure righteousness, let's build about our culture. First of all, "One of Our Righteous Brothers," implies that our brother Jesus are righteous and all of us are possibly brothers. We say "possibly" because one can call a person a "brother" and not be one personally... right, sisters? Besides, "every brother ain't a brother"... can you dig it? We are speaking of "the said person of that ability"... It could possibly be you, but is it probably? When we speak of being civilized, we also imply righteous, because "the duty of a civilized person is to teach who is savage, civilization and righteousness" and how can you teach that which you personally don't know? How can you advocate and/or illustrate qualities that you yourself do not have (read Sura 2: Lip Profession)? And if you are a brother to Jesus, then you have the same parents: The Almighty and the Great Mother Earth, huh (was it not Jesus who said that I and the father are one)? You must have similar ideologies and outlooks on life now, since your were raised from the same family...

Now this may not sit too well with Christians, because they have build Jesus to an impossible height and placed themselves so lowly (the sting of trickery from the 10% preacher man). But we as Jesus, if we choose to be. It is said that we are children of God, so the bible states-- does it not? But Even so, those of us who stake this claim have to show and prove it to a not easily convinced audience, each and every day/ each and every way, right? We are not charlatans (one who falsely claim to have knowledge), we are said persons of that ability: We have these powers emanating from our being: We have acquired such powers by having a lifestyle that reflects the mathematics we speak... Now since we are talking about The Righteous, qualities of righteous-ness are now necessary to both define and illustrate: Any woman who is "worth her weight in gold," (a.k.a precious, valuable, noble or of high standing) realizes has to be able to recognize whether or not the said man is a righteous man, before she can place trust in him. Any righteous man who wants to start serious relationship that will lead to a family, recognizes that the said woman has to have qualities comparable to producing an enduring family...

What do we mean by saying this? Simply put, if a woman gets into the car with a man, she realizes she has to be wise enough to assess that this guy will take her where she wants to go and not just where he wants to take her. If not, she is potentially in danger. If she goes into his home alone, she has to assess that this will not force his will upon her. She has to do whatever is necessary to feel pretty sure of this, so she conducts experiments. If she does not want to compromise her virtue, she has to know that he will respect that. So a woman of virtue is taught how to detect such things. It should be part of her G.C.C. and/or M.G.T. She has to be able to detect when something is not right or suffer the consequences... in short, she must be wise.So in this case, a righteous man she is looking for is a man with morals, ethics, tact, poise, reason, and scruples. Morals in the sense of a proper mode of conduct; endowed with lessons from experience of knowing what is proper, right and wrong; manifested in good behavior. Conduct indicates how one behaves, one's management, discipline... how one leads. Ethics is the rules of right conduct. Tact is merely diplomacy; saying and doing the right thing at the right time. Poise is composure, stability, and balance. Reason means you are capable of rational thought; your judgment is fair and sound; you're sane and scruples just means that your conscious tends to restrict your actions. To further illustrate, a righteous woman has to know that when she gets in a car with you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, she has to be fairly sure that you wont get extreme and "try to nail her in the back seat" and claim she led you on and that she wanted it. She has to be able to detect well enough to trust that when she goes to your apartment, that nothing will "jump off" that she doesn't want, like "date rape." Many times the guy is physically stronger and women have many areas of vulnerabilities, so it is not a matter of choice, she must evolve and develop those qualities. She must develop the wisdom to know who is fair or not, otherwise she will be constantly "on the spot" for the ability she hasn't got. It is the same with a true nationalist. He knows that the oppression and afflictions he faces in the devil's civilization is because he has not cultivated replacements in his own society or that its members are not yet developed to the point where this is possible, so he has to make the best out of a bad situation. So when he teaches others, he recognizes that there is no mystery god, his scrutiny (careful inspection and close observation) will make all the difference in the world of how the social equality and cultural achievements will be. So you can see that righteousness leads to trust and reliability as well. Reliability just means that you can depend on a person to do the right thing or be there when you need it. Sure... Jesus teachings was not Christianity (5/1-14), but a high standard of virtue and virtuosity is indicated here, therefore those who say "they imitate Christ" are expecting a lot from a person who says that "He is Jesus' brother"...

Many times when my persons is with my righteous brothers (such as Saladin), we have discussions on correcting the oppressive conditions in which Black people find themselves subject to in America. Often, we discuss what is the best starting point economically, socially, politically, and metaphysically. On these topics my person often comments that since "knowledge is the foundation of all things in existence," the best starting point is in developing bonds in trust and reliance within each other; which means the members must be "built like that" (have the said qualities). since trust is literally the truth; it leads back to a virtuous man who is the "said person of that ability," possessing the qualities of righteousness. After all, how can a woman, who has the skills of general civilization, be involved in giving her all at home when the man is not righteous? How can a man go out and achieve, take lead in financing the dreams of two, when he cannot rely on his woman to be "down with the cause" and on "the same page?" "Social means to advocate a society of men (includes wo-men) or group of men for one common cause and Equality means to be equal in everything (8/1-14)."In other words, Why should a righteous man or woman stay with their partner, if he or she is not fair or is not really a partner? That is foolishness family... you are unevenly yoked.

We use a lot of words, technical words in society, yet we do not take the time to analyze what they technically mean. We are conditioned to say things but not take the time to make those concepts manifest. We often have generalities, but we do not have a grasp on the conceptual reality. For example, many say we are Allah, but all do not personally feel that we are Allah? Many of our people identify that they are with what I call "my persons" (a collection of associated experiences built into a character complex). Others think we are each Allah. If we were all Allah as separate persons, then there would be many Allahs. But that is not so, because Allah is One who peers through many faces. On Star Trek, The Next Generation, when they say, "We are Borg," they mean that all is One; a singularity expressing itself as an infinitude. so what must be meant is that what we are an entity that is much larger than our bodies; much larger than one person. We say that "Self is the true reality of all and self by itself does fall." Yet many of us take on the "Self-God thing" like it is something we own personally. None of our lessons indicate that God is equivalent to a single ego. In fact entertaining a single ego "edges out your godliness." If you are a said person, you know that your lessons speaks of us in the "we" sense. "Original Man" means "we" as a singularity," if it was a plurality the word would be "men." Civilization is group thing. It indicates the level of humanity: How much I learn from humanity, how humane we express ourselves and what contribution we make to society. "Righteous people" is also a group thing. "Original people" is the same type of indication; as well as "poor righteous teachers," "Nation of Islam," and "Gods" (as used in 38/1-40) or "so they have agreed" (34/1-40). "A" is a indefinite article placed before nouns indicating one, single, or singularity; but it is unspecified. You want "a hammer" but the type of hammer is not indicated. When you say, "Hand me the hammer," "the" indicates that it is a definite hammer that we both understand is there. It is the same with "A" as the symbol of Allah. The other attribute we use with the name "Allah" is more of a personal moniker or manifestation; a reoccurring theme in the life of the person. It describes something of a much more definite expression, but the fact remains-regardless- in essence, we are one, singular entity. Allah is the true Self and Self is the true reality of all, only the expressions change.

Often we deal with someone who has a great outer appearance, yet totally lack in people skills; relationship skills? Someone who may claims they are "the sole controller" yet can't control the soles on their shoes, much less their own soul... You have to have the qualities and materials necessary to build a home and use them... not just look the part. Hell, I look good too, but without money and knowledge on how to make and keep a home, we are just two "good-looking people" who are without a home and don't know a damn thing about making one or raising a family. Far too often, we spend too much time on physical assets and not enough time on the qualities or skills that a person comes into the arena with that could make a happy home or allow us to be successful in building one...

There must be trust before we can do trading. There must be trust before we can achieve anything great as a group. How many times have you saw a person sell a "hot" item to another person, then come back to the said house of the other person, when they are not there and steal back the same product? Where's the ethics? The love? The tact? The integrity? When we talk about business we want to know: "How good is their product?" Do they stand by their product? If they are market themselves, how good is their integrity as a human being and as a business owner? How civil are they? It is the same for NGE. If we are to change our position in this society, we must be able to rely on each other to perform at a certain level and or standard. we have to show and prove that excellence is what we are about. Not talking it, being it. Deeds not words...We would not have gotten these lessons from the father, it was not the blueprint for our personality, our culture, civilization, roots and prescribe laws.

Often we find ourselves wondering how someone can stake claim to be the person our degrees speak about, then behave in a manner adverse to the meaning of the mathematics we speak. Just know to be advocated for the same common cause means to have a similar thing in mind and to have the same thing in mind is to be on the same level of social equality: I cannot give a baby a knife and tell him to slice his persons a piece of bread because he is not mature enough to handle that said task. He might slice off a limb, because he is not aware of the complexities of using such a tool. He or she may be a "said person of that ability," but they are not qualified for the task at hand because they have not cultivated all the necessary skills to be right for the job. This is not discrimination, it is realization. I know "Allah in his own good time," but "don't drink and drive..." So being righteous requires refinement and a sense of improvement; a way of thinking and considering. This increases your awareness. As B.B. King once said, "I'd like to live the love that I sing about, in my songs" and Kool and the Gang said, "Love the Life you live and Live the Life you Love." Don't talk about it, be about it. I would find it hard to continue tutoring someone's enlightenment, if they stole from my home. They wouldn't be ready or qualified to get what I have to offer. My jewels are for righteous people. The level they are coming from would make it hard for them to appreciate what this Knowledge has to offer because their ways and actions are lacking in a very basic part of love: respect. None of us are squeaky clean, but you can't be trusted and that is a basic component of any relationship. As Smokey Robinson of the Miracles put it: "If you want, you can need; If you can need, you can care; If you can care, you can love..." And this person just demonstrated he does not "care" about me or what this stands for.

A Household is the basic unit of communities. Communities are a basic component of cities, towns, and counties. Cities and towns make up states and states are what make up a Nation. But things like love, honor and respect makes them all work their best. A divided house cannot stand. There must be a basic understanding and an appreciation for that perspective. To hell with "we just have a different understanding," come back when you have grown up. If we are A-alike, then there is only "thee understanding" or clear mental picture that we get when we combine the knowledge with the wisdom or the ways and actions one uses that reflect the truth, period. We cannot build a true Nation with all of its components (schools, houses of enlightenment, recreation, committees, businesses, scholarly and artistic endeavors, law enforcement, law-making bodies, security, armies, etc.), without love from the people who construct it, love for us as a people, confidence in the people who live within it, and growth and support from all phases. We cannot expect "her" to give it all "she's got," unless "she's" is convinced that "he" is right for her and what will reciprocate her giving. That's equality. "He or Her without knowledge of Self cannot "build," only "destroy" and take many other lives."Often folks come on board, not for appreciation, but to take advantage of what the community or group has to offer. They want you to "buy their books." They have nothing to give to this nation. They don't even talk nationalistic. They sing opera: "Me-me-me-me-me..." They are un-reliable, they are "so-lo" artists. Their flying often defies radar, but Allah puts blinders on them. It is as though they are "doing math" and trying to get credit for their "elegant formulas" They are looking for the "right way to do wrong." They want to take from our nation but they are not willing to give. President John F. Kennedy once said:"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

In life there are right and wrong paths. We may dwell on a road, just long enough to know where they are headed, then we must make a decision before we reach the point of no return. We don't get points for elegant formulas... only for figuring out the difficulties and coming up with the right solutions. These types say the things to get them in, but they cannot uphold the standard of the righteous. This is truly the course they're on:“Blessed is the man which WALKS NOT IN THE COUNSEL of the UNGODLY, nor STANDS in the way of SINNERS, nor SIT in the SEAT of the SCORNFUL. But his delight is in the LAW OF THE LORD. And in his law, does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a TREE PLANTED BY RIVERS of WATER, that BRINGS FORTH GOOD FRUIT in due SEASON. His LEAF also SHALL NOT WITHER and whatsoever HE DOES SHALL PROSPER. The UNGODLY are not SO, they are like the CHAFF (the husks of grain after threshing; symbolizing worthlessness) WHICH THE WIND DRIVES AWAY. Therefore the wicked shall not STAND in HIS judgment, NOR SINNERS in the CONGREGATION of The RIGHTEOUS. For the LORD Knows the way of the RIGHTEOUS. But the WAY of the UNGODLY SHALL PERISH” --King David speaks: Psalms One. Things cannot be more plain than this. Always, for said persons, "Positive Education Always Correct Errors."

"Don't tread on me!"




They are the People who strayed away from Civilization and are now living a jungle life.” (7/1-14)

A Jungle (Sanskrit word jangala (जंगल) which referred to uncultivated land) is not only defined as “entangled growth”, b.u.t. in American Slang it’s considered “A Hobo Camp”; a place where Drifters or People without a Home squat until they move on to another location. This coincides with another definition of Jungle meaning “a ruthless struggle for survival”. Because Hobos live nomadically with no ‘Foundation’, their living situation is unstable, unreliable, and unpredictable. Drifting (hence the word ‘Drifter’) symbolizes their whimsical, survivalist mentality that’s reflected in their ability to move (drift) from place to place in search of basic essentials: food, clothing, and shelter. Ultimately, the reliance on whatever’s available makes this person completely vulnerable to a “Trading Post” (7/1-14), and “the interpretation made by a Trader.” (28/1-36). This not only speaks to a Socioeconomic Condition, b.u.t. it also speaks of being Culturally Disenfranchised; one of the key traits of the 85% because “they do not know their origin in this World and worship what they know not, who are easily led in the wrong direction and hard to be led in the right direction.” (14/1-40) When a person has ‘no origin’ (Foundation), they lack a perspective, direction, and a sense of orientation. In other words they really don’t know Which Way Is Up, and this is what makes them easily led: Led to say/do many questionable things, and often leading others in a direction that may have us wondering where they’re actually coming from.

Sometimes I come across various Writings, FB Postings, Videos, etc.. Online of People who consider themselves Gods/Earths and I find myself clicking away and scratching my head wondering, “Where did they get that from?” I ask myself this because the Philosophies, Ideas, Doctrines, and Procedures they’re advocating either aren’t in line with our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum or aren’t being ‘Shown & Proven’ to be in line with our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum. Those of you who are familiar with my Articles recognize that I always highlight in red the specific part of our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum that I’m referencing. The purpose of this is to make sure Citizens of my Nation know EXACTLY where I’m getting things from and how it actually corresponds to us as Gods/Earths, and our Interests as a Nation. For those of you who do not know or have forgotten what our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum actually is, it is as follows:

1. Supreme Mathematics
2. Supreme Alphabet
3. Student Enrollment (1-10)
4. 1-14’s
5. 1-36’s
6. 1-40’s
7. Actual Facts
8. Solar Facts
*The Twelve Jewels

As Gods/Earths, our 8-Point Curriculum is our ‘Foundation’, ‘Orientation’, and ‘Vantage Point’ of our Cultural Worldview. It’s always been customary/tradition that when a God/Earth says something that other Gods/Earths may not understand or are unsure of, that they take the time to ‘Show & Prove’ (elaborate on) how what they’re saying is in line with what we teach, and how it serves our Cultural Interests. Since we all adhere to the same 8-Point Cultural Curriculum across the board, this custom/tradition is used to insure that we remain “equal in everything” and “advocating for one common cause” (8/1-14); our Cultural Interests as a Nation. Without these Cultural ‘checks and balances’ there would be no National Integrity & Accountability for it’s Citizenship, and this would be Anarchy. If there are no “Rules & Regulations” (28/1-40), Ethical Standards, or Codes of Conduct in place to address our issues and offer a plan of recourse when problems arise, then it’s impossible to grow as a Person or establish/maintain unity as a People! Although we advocate this sense of Integrity & Accountability for us as a Group (Nation), it begins with the “Rules & Regulations” (Ethical Standards, or Codes of Conduct) we have for ourselves, for our Family Unit, and in our Communities. Not only does our 8-Point Curriculum represent our Cultural Agenda, b.u.t. it operates as a Corrective Action Plan to keep us together. So for so-called Gods/Earths to state/trivialize our 8-Point Curriculum as ‘no longer necessary’, ‘something we need to get beyond’, ‘archaic’, ‘not enough’, etc.., we must ask ourselves, “Where did they get that from?” I use the word “so-called” to define them because those statements show a clear disassociation and deviance from what we do as a Group. The irony in this is the fact that these same Individuals ask for our National Support, yet make Philosophical excuses when it comes to supporting our Nation’s Worldview… It’s no different than dudes I’ve met on the street that recognized my Universal Flag and they sparked up a conversation with me for the sole purpose of getting ‘power dollars’ for some crack. When I ask them about Lessons, who educated them, what they’re dealing with now, etc.., they’d have every excuse in the book why it’s ‘no longer necessary’, ‘something we need to get beyond’, ‘archaic’, ‘not enough’, etc.. How convenient huh?

Some of us look like we became a part of a Group (The NGE) just to springboard our Solo Careers! Some of us claim Civilization yet behave like we can say/do whatever we want and others better not question us about it! Some of us sound like we’re Gods/Earths on Monday, New Age on Tuesday, Spiritual Diviners on Wednesday, Street Disciples on Thursday, and so-called Negroes on the Weekends. Some of us want to be supported yet don’t want to support…

In conclusion, lets get back to the ‘Foundation’. If People are talking about following your Instincts/Intuition then demand that they ‘Show & Prove’ where in our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum that Philosophy is supported, and methods do we employ to use this. If the Original Man has evil inherent to his nature or natural murderous inclinations, then how do you explain the 37/1-40 which says, "he (Allah the Original Man) is just and he is true and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM"? If you think our Universal Flag symbolizes ‘Astrology’ or even if you want to make an abstraction to say it’s colors represent the Pittsburgh Steelers, then what in our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum supports that claim? If you can’t find it anywhere then Where/Who did you get it from and Why/How is it important and useful to us as a Group? We deserve a valid explanation and simply saying People just need to open their Minds is not enough! If People are going to open up their Minds to learn something they may have never been exposed to, or know little about, then lets have enough Integrity and Accountability to ‘Show & Prove’ to them how it coincides with and serves their Cultural Interests. People do deserve that level of respect don’t they -or is that sense of consideration something else that’s ‘no longer necessary’, ‘something we need to get beyond’, ‘archaic’, etc.. too? We can’t claim something we’re dealing with is “the science of everything in Life” (18/1-40) if we’re not bringing it back to our ‘Foundation’. And if we’re not bringing it back to the ‘Foundation’ (Home), then we are clearly out here STILL SEARCHING –oftentimes for that-that does not exist! (10/1-40) Obviously our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum wasn’t sufficient enough to be committed to… Obviously being a Nation of Gods/Earths wasn’t compelling enough to fully represent… It’s like we strayed away from Civilization (“where knowledge and wisdom of the Original Man started when our -Nation- was first founded4/1-14) and are now living a jungle life…

This in no way is meant to discourage us from studying various things. This is meant to encourage us to continue studying with our Cultural Interests at Heart and in Mind. Because once you start “dealing with something else” then YOU ARE something else.

Peace!

Transactional Analysis
Part 3


Because many of us -Gods/Earths-, CAME INTO Knowledge of Self (KOS), there is a lot of data we naturally reject(ed) from our Caretakers. Sometimes Gods/Earths reject almost everything and therefore ‘block out’ their Parent and begin to culturally express themselves as a Child without a conscience. These are Gods/Earths who carry Mathematics in a very immature, delusional, and irresponsible way. You also have Gods/Earths who learned this Culture, b.u.t. still remain heavily influenced by their Parent and Society as their Caretaker. These Gods/Earths carry Mathematics in an overly zealous, rote, and religiously prejudiced way. As I stated in Part 1 of this series, in the positive sense: The Parent perspective brings order, stability, and tradition to our Culture; The Adult perspective brings responsibility, discernment, and options; and The Child perspective brings creativity, flexibility, and growth. In order to access these positive characteristics, a God/Earth must be in an Adult Position of ‘responsibility’ to ‘discern’ these ‘options’. In order for a God/Earth to effectively “build or destroy”, “add-on to the cipher”, or “draw this Math up”, our Adult must serve as the cognitive, psychological, and emotional filter for our Parent and Child data.

Transactional Analysis in our Culture
Our ability/inability to form lasting attachments/bonds with ourselves, others, and the Planet is a direct result of how O.K. we are with ourselves as Gods/Earths. How O.K. we are with ourselves depends upon how we cee ourselves, and how we cee ourselves is determined by how we interpret what has happened to us prior to getting KOS, AND what is happening to us now that we have KOS. How O.K. we are with ourselves is what ultimately determines how we interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum, and any other information that teaches us about our role in this Nation and our attitude towards other Nations. Being O.K. means that we’re not making the next God pay because our last three boyfriends cheated on us. Being O.K. means that we no longer harbor hatred for our Parent(s) because we understand they were “made other than themselves” (12/1-36). Being O.K. means that as an Adult with KOS, we’re equipped to interpret our experiences, and “preserve the best part for ourselves” (1/1-14). Being O.K. also means that we “don’t build prison houses” for our social conditionings, and we have a choice to change our Psychological Position in Life in order to “be successful in all our undertakings”! (29/1-40) This takes guidance and work; and our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum functions as a GPS System programmed with ethical, moral, and virtuous coordinates to “lead us in the right direction”, not “easily lead us in the wrong direction.” (14/1-40)

One of the first questions a person is asked upon claiming any type of allegiance to our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum is: WHO IS YOUR ENLIGHTENER? In The NGE, the Student/Enlightener Relationship is the fundamental Dynamic that allows our Culture to be transmitted/received from one person to the next. W.D. Fard spent 3 ½ years walking, talking, and growing with The Honorable Elijah Muhammad in order for them to birth The NOI. Allah, who was/is affectionately called “The Father” of The NGE, along with his close Companions, established relationships with some of the youth in the streets of Harlem. These bonds they established with the youth and the Community became the basis of how our Nation grew, and how we continue to grow. It was some of the only stroking/reassurance these youth received to let them know that they’re O.K., and these relationships served to redirect many of them from a life of crime to a life of being upstanding Citizens –within our Society and to American Society. The Father and his Companions also let them know when they were NOT O.K. too, and gave them advice on what they needed to do to get it right when they had the answers. This fundamental bond or relationship between an Enlightener/Student still remains a Tradition amongst our Nation, and when a person desires to learn about our Culture they learn it directly from somebody who personally guides them. This Tradition also serves to help maintain the integrity of our Lineage, passed on from Enlightener to Enlightener, all the way back to “The Father” and his Companions who started this Nation in 1964, and to W.D. Fard and The Honorable Elijah Muhammad who are the contemporary ‘morning stars’ of our Movement. There are many People who didn’t follow this Tradition and erroneously got our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum without a Student/Enlightener Relationship. They either got it over the phone, in the postage mail, through email, off a Website, from a Book, someone just handed them a copy, etc.. Because all of these methods lack the basic stroking/reassurance that comes with a Student/Enlightener Relationship, many of them develop(ed) a misunderstanding and distorted idea/attitude about this Culture; a fragmented concept about what it means to be a God/Earth, and this lacking will be reflected in the first three Life Positions:

1. I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K. (I’m not as much a God/Earth as you)
2. I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. (Gods/Earths are only human, we’re not perfect or holy)
3. I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. (I’m THE God/Earth, you’re not)

The same way it’s important to get an adequate amount of stroking/reassurance that we are O.K. via the coddling, intimacy, and love of our Mother/Caretaker(s), it’s important for a Student (Newborn) to get an adequate amount of stroking/reassurance that we are learning O.K. via the brotherhood/sisterhood, consistency, and love of our Enlightener. The seminal ‘unit’ of our Nation is the ‘Family’, and educating someone is for the purpose of reconciling and rebuilding the structure of our Family Units. Families establish Communities, Communities establish City States, and City States establish Nations. So within The NGE, the Student/Enlightener Relationship uses educational stroking/reassurance ‘transactions’ (‘transactional stimulus’ and ‘transactional responses’) to restore our Life Position of I’m O.K. and you’re O.K. (We’re O.K.). Once a Student (Newborn) completes our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum O.K., they are charged with the full responsibility of Enlightening others who’re striving to learn. I also must mention that sometimes a person had the adequate amount of stroking/reassurance from an Enlightener, b.u.t. because they never reconciled issues they brought with them into this Culture, they still ended up occupying one of the first three Life Positions. This unfortunate theme is illustrated in the tale of Anakin Skywalker (AKA: Darth Vader).

Our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum as ‘transactions’
The Structure of 120 Lessons, which is Questions, Answers, and Statements are in the form of transactional units: QUESTION (‘transactional stimulus’) “Why does the Devil teach that?” 12/1-40, ANSWER (‘transactional response’) “Because he desires to make slaves out of all that he can, so he can rob them and live in luxury.” 12/1-40, and a STATEMENT (‘transactional stimulusortransactional response’) “Approximately 60 years ago” 36/1-36. The Lessons themselves illustrate multiple transactions between Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How we define God and Devil. These transactions highlight the variance between Righteous and Wicked, Divine and Destroy, Civilized and Uncivilized. For example, the 4/1-14 teaches us about the ‘transactional stimulus’ from the Devil in the Holy City of Mecca: “…they started causing trouble amongst the Righteous People, accusing the Righteous People of telling lies, and causing them to fight and kill one another.” We also learn about the ‘transactional response’ of the Righteous People: “…we ran the Devil from the root of Civilization, over the hot Arabian Desert, and into the caves of West Asia as they now call it Europe. ….We took everything from them but their language and made them walk every step of the way.” Sometimes one of our Lessons is a Statement that we must identify as either a ‘transactional stimulusortransactional response’ such as the 7th/Actual Fact: “Mount Everest is 29,141 feet high.” An example of using “Mount Everest is 29,141 feet high” as a ‘transactional stimulus’ is when we initiate a conversation and elaborating on the tremendous growth/elevation we or someone has experienced. An example of using “Mount Everest is 29,141 feet high” as a ‘transactional response’ is when we elaborate about a challenging task/situation we’re confronted with that appears almost insurmountable.

Not only do we adhere to these transactional units, b.u.t. we also express these basic transactions from a Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) Ego State. As Dr. Berne and I also suggest, in any Cipher (social “transaction”), you can always discern who you are as a God/Earth (Parent, Adult, or Child?) and the God/Earth (Parent, Adult, or Child?) you’re communicating with. Here’s an example to illustrate the following “transactions” between Gods/Earths. Keep in Mind that these transactions reflect Parent, Child, or Adult (PAC) exchanges of Gods/Earths who have Knowledge of Self (KOS):

Parent (God): That’s now cipher! A God can only teach you 120!
Child (Earth): Alright God.

Adult (Earth): How do you cee Today’s Degree?
Adult (God): Build or Destroy; What makes rain, hail, snow, or earthquakes? The Earth is approximately covered…

Child (God): I had Knowledge for 30 years.
Child (God): I walked with First Born Al Jamel.

Parent (Earth): Gods need to quit being so militant with the Earths.
Parent (Earth): I know. They can’t expect us to learn 120 like them.

Child (Earth): He bombed me about watching The God on Youtube.
Adult (God): What was the God building about?

Parent (Earth): The Gods oppress their Earths.
Adult (God): Not all Gods. There are many God/Earth Couples who’ve been happily together, highly respected, and actively involved in this Nation for more than 20 years.

Based upon the above examples, you can cee where so-called Building between Gods/Earths does nothing but Destroy, how so-called Building will be stagnant and never go beyond a certain cipher, and how real Building can be something that’s actually positive and progressive. So-called Building that does nothing but Destroy can be defined as ‘crossed transactions’ because Gods/Earths are coming from two different places. An Earth may be striving to have an Adult Build and with a God b.u.t. we may be responding like a Child, or drawing up his Lessons in a childish way. A God might be Building about something with a critical eye of Parent, and instead of simply agreeing with them, another God/Earth may simply make Adult inquiries. As long as the Builds are complementary (Adult-Adult, Child-Child, Parent-Parent), then this social equality can go on indefinitely. Complementary Builds or social equality ARE NOT only defined as Adult-Adult, Child-Child, and Parent-Parent either. Sometimes a complementary Build can be considered Parent-Child: which is oftentimes the Dynamic between an Older God/Earth (Parent) and a Younger God/Earth (Child). Because of our respect of Eldership, this Dynamic expresses itself as the Younger God/Earth (Child) asking QUESTIONS (‘transactional stimulus’), and the Older God/Earth (Parent) supplying them and/or offering them guidance of where to acquire the ANSWERS (‘transactional responses’).

Even with the Language of The NGE, Gods/Earths will also reflect Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) Ego States based upon how they “draw-up” or interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum (Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabet, 1-10’s, 1-14’s, 1-36’s, 1-40’s, Actual Facts, Solar Facts, and *12 Jewels). Here’s an example to illustrate how Gods/Earths “draw-up” or interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum from Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC) Ego States:

Parent: The God was slippin on the Born Degree in the 1-40’s so I bombed him.

Adult: That’s Peace Lord. Growth is about “Allah in his own good time” (39/1-40)

Child: “I don’t care about the poor part” (3/1-14)! 120 is mine personally, and that’s “the Best Part I preserve for myself”! (1/1-14)

Parent: If they ain’t Building, I’m not loosing “…no more time searching for that-that does not exist…” (10/1-40)

Adult: “…we gave them this chance…” (9/1-14) to do what’s necessary, so it’s all on them.

Child: Our Flag “is the greatest and only known Flag in this Universe”! (9/1-14) so I ain’t trying to learn about nobody else’s Flag.

Parent: “The Civilized is held responsible for the uncivilized” (19/1-40) so I’ve been building with them.

Adult: We gotta be like the Doctor who “qualified or disqualified.” (28/1-40) after examining People to cee if they’re fair enough to deal with “social equality” (8/1-14)

Child: The 33/1-40 says “Any live grafted germ from Original is Devil”, and Woman is grafted from Man. 3 + 3 borns equality (6) and that’s the science why she has six ounces of brain and can’t rise about equality. That’s why I don’t teach my Earth 120!

Parent: The Gods need to come together for “one common cause” (8/1-14) and quit all this childish arguing.

Adult: You gotta ask yourself, “Are they ‘healthy, strong, and good’?” (28/1-40) Are they “a said person of that ability”? (20/1-40)

Child: The Father had self-styled wisdom! So you got your own understanding and I got mine! If I hustle and you helping kids, that’s how I cee this Math, and that’s how you cee it! That’s the Freedom of this Culture and beauty of being “the Original Man(Woman)”. (1/1-10)

In conclusion, I want to thank the God ‘Life’ for putting me on to this Science! Exploring Transactional Analysis, like other Sciences of Life, can help shed some light on the ways Gods/Earths approach and assess ourselves, our personal/collective growth & development, and how we “draw-up” or interpret our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum. As I stated, Knowledge of Self (KOS) is a process used to help us say/be “O.K.”. The dysfunctional behavior that’s expressed by our People, especially within The NGE, demonstrates that many of us are still NOT O.K.. We’re NOT O.K. because there are clearly unresolved issues we’re dealing with, and until we honestly take a look within, these issues are “allowed to live and sting somebody else” (10/1-14). These issues are the direct result of trans-generational, immediate Family, and personal socialization we’ve BROUGHT WITH US into this Nation. Some of this data coincides with our Cultural Worldview, and some of it doesn’t. Knowing the difference and preserving the best part for ourselves is an aspect of “the duty of a Civilized Person” (18/1-40), what it means to be “a said person of that ability” (20/1-40), and is an investment in “taking the Devil off our Planet” (34/1-40). This of course is a never-ending inner journey and has a great deal to do with our Ego States: Do we recognize when we’re using our Cultural Curriculum as a Parent, Adult, and Child (PAC)? This is a courageous journey that begins with our willingness to look within and take responsibility for how we’ve chosen to deal with things in our Life. We must ask ourselves the question, “What are we going to do to maintain or change those things that will benefit ourselves, our Family, and our Nation?”, and be committed to “give all we have and all within our power to see this day” (40/1-40). It’s a Mission to change our Past by not allowing negative conditions to live in the Present, and dictate our Future! This journey begins with one step and each step is a day invested in our positive growth & development. Days becomes weeks, weeks become months, months become years, and these years become a lifetime!

Peace!

Property; Slaves



Transactional Analysis
Part 2



Knowledge of Self (KOS) is a process used to help us arrive at a Psychological Position in Life where we can say/be “O.K.”. From the time of our birth, the temporary separation or estrangement (via severance of the Umbilical Cord or Cesarean Section) from our Mother was our first impression of feeling NOT O.K.. From that moment forward, our preverbal/formative years were spent striving to reestablish that attachment/bond that once made us feel secure and O.K.. It is this preverbal/formative journey to reconnect is what sets the Psychological/Social stage for how we cee ourselves, and how we assess/approach our future relationships. Because we’re helpless as Children, and must depend entirely upon Adults to take care of us, our only self concept is derived from how People react/respond to us. We’re not at a stage where our cognitive ability is developed enough to critique or intellectually oppose the stimulus we’re receiving, so we can only accept these impressions as they are. Because of our helplessness, all of us come into this World and receive the first impression that we’re NOT O.K.. It is our preverbal/formative experience (Conception to Kindergarten Socialization) that will determine if we remain NOT O.K. or if we get the stroking/reassurance that we are O.K. via the coddling, intimacy, and love of our Mother/Caretaker(s). It is also this preverbal/formative experience that sets the Cognitive/Emotional foundation for how equipped we are to form healthy bonds/attachments with others. At this point, it must be clearly understood that prior to a person “becoming conscious” or coming into The NGE via getting Supreme Mathematics, Lessons, or even learning about The History of The Father, they might NOT have been O.K..

R.A.D. and Slavery
Psychologists define R.A.D. as ‘Reactive Attachment Disorder’ which classifies children who have a problem forming meaningful attachments/bonds with others. Some of these studies took place in Russian Orphanages where Scientists examined how the lack of attachment (stroking) that babies received over a period of time made them either not respond or react negatively to social attachments with others. In addition to the emotional, social, and cognitive components, this lack of response and/or negative reactions towards attachments was also measured in the low or stabilized levels of Oxytocin these children had during pleasurable interactivities. So even on a biochemical level, when these children interacted with others, “they weren’t feeling it”, and they weren’t feeling it because they never learned to. While some of these studies took place in Orphanages where the bonding experience in a child’s preverbal/formative years were very little to non existent, it’s important to understand that any environment where there is a significant lack of attachment (stroking) on behalf of the Caretaker(s), ESPECIALLY the Mother, this experience will produce the same results: R.A.D. as ‘Reactive Attachment Disorder’.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Institution of Chattel Slavery was instrumental in destroying the Family bonds of Black People who were subjected to this. As property, we weren’t allowed to form attachments with eachother, only to the extent of breeding, and when our Family Members were sold away, it further alienated us and exacerbated our sense of attachment to one another. A Father may have been sold to a Slave Master in Georgia, the Mother sent to Alabama, two Children ‘sold down the river’ -to Mississippi, and the Newborn sent to Louisiana. Anyway, People suffering from such trauma would be forced to orientate themselves a certain way; and adapt socially and psychologically to the conditions they exist in. As Slaves, the trauma suffered during the preverbal/formative years and during a lifetime, and the restrictions placed upon Slaves to develop cognitive abilities, made them “other than” themselves (12/1-36) and ill-equipped to form healthy bonds/attachments with eachother, others, and the World around them.

In the Armed Forces, especially in the Combat Units, you’ll often hear Soldiers speak about not forming attachments with their Comrades because it’s painful to lose someone close to you. Therefore, Soldiers learn, as a defense/survival mechanism, not to form attachments with others. It must be understood that the difference between Black People (during The Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Institution of Chattel Slavery) and American Soldiers is that our Ancestors were POW’s in a legal Warzone for 379 years. It is also important to note that many Soldiers, being debriefed after coming from a Warzone, are diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). While Soldiers from Vietnam, the Gulf War, Afghanistan, and Iraq receive(d) the Psychological/Pharmaceutical assistance for PTSD, it must be understood that so-called Slaves also suffered from PTSD, for Generations, and never received any Psychological/Pharmaceutical assistance. Although the term ‘Post Traumatic Stress Disorder’ can be traced back to the 1970’s, the actual symptoms of the Disorder have been identified amongst Soldiers in combat for centuries. The point in mentioning this is to draw attention to the trans-generational effects of Trauma. So although Black People were set free from physical bondage in 1865, it DID NOT make our Psychological Position in Life “O.K.”. It was my Ancestors who held this Psychological Position in Life that gave birth to and raised children, who gave birth to and raised children, who gave birth to and raised children for generations without ever resolving the issue being fundamentally O.K.. Many of the problems that we cee amongst my People are not personal or immediate Family issues. Some of these issues have been changing their molecular structure like super viruses being passed on through our genetic memory bank for over 300 years. Another thing to consider is that America is only 235 years old! So these Disorders, and Pathologies of the Perpetrators, is what set the infrastructural template prior to the birth of this Nation. Cee: Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (P.T.S.S.)



Our Family Dynamics
During The Transatlantic Slave Trade and the Institution of Chattel Slavery, forming an attachment (stroking) with eachother meant “a severe punishment” (19/1-40). If so-called Slaves, who were often the majority on Plantations could remain divided, it was easier for the minority Slave Masters to maintain control. Many Slave Owners didn’t kill a lot of their so-called Slaves because they’d be loosing free labor. This is the reason Slave Owners resorted to disciplinary actions such as severe whippings/floggings, rape, beatings, torture and other hideous tactics to “plant fear” (8/1-36) in the so-called Slaves to stay obedient. When a Slave Owner did murder a so-called Slave, it was usually done in a staged, ceremonial fashion that would make Rob Zombie’s Halloween II look like Toy Story. Forming meaningful attachments (stroking) with eachother Post-Slavery also meant a severe punishment up to and including death! Coming together and forming Family Units and Communities were a socioeconomic threat to the White Supremist Status Quo (cee Black Wall Street and Rosewood). So in the midst of all of this racial tension and open hostility, black children continued to be born. These children were being born to many Parents who often meant well b.u.t. were often ill-equipped to do well; Educationally, Socially, Psychologically, and Economically. Over time and with the migrations into Urban Communities that were flooded with drugs to compound the poverty & disenfranchisement, and you have a recipe for disaster -b.u.t. also an incubator for unmatched level of character development from a systematically oppressed People. Many of these children who suffered from this disaster never received the attachment (stroking) necessary to know how to form healthy relationships with eachother, and these psychological and socioeconomic conditions laid the structural foundation for ‘Reactive Attachment Disorder’ before it was even classified as a Disorder. So understanding our own Psychological Position in Life as Black People hinges upon us understanding our Family Dynamics (His/Herstory);

1.) The Story of our Ancestors experience Pre/Post the Transatlantic Slave Trade, Slavery Experience, and/or Colonialism.

2.) Our immediate Family Dynamics. As I mentioned earlier, it is our preverbal/formative experience that sets the Cognitive/Emotional foundation for how equipped we are to form healthy bonds/attachments with others. Because of a baby’s helplessness, all of us come into this World and receive the first impression that we’re NOT O.K.. So it is our preverbal/formative experience (Conception to Kindergarten Socialization) that will determine if we remain NOT O.K. or if we get the stroking/reassurance that we are O.K. via the coddling, intimacy, and love of our Mother/Caretaker(s).

3.) Our personal experiences and socioeconomic conditionings that have shaped us.

Again, I cannot stress enough that our Psychological Position in Life as Original People, based upon the above three components, is what a person BRINGS WITH THEM prior to coming into Knowledge of Self (KOS). We, as a People, are a culmination of our own choices and the trans-generational data that was been passed on to us via our Ancestors. Even a child who is so-called ‘born’ into this Nation still has a Psychological Position in Life based upon their preverbal/formative experience (Conception to Kindergarten Socialization). And based upon their Caretaker(s) -God and/or Earth- Psychological Position in Life, this child still may NOT be O.K.. Within The NGE, our ‘transactional stimulus’ or ‘transactional responses’ still comes from the perspective of a Parent, Adult, or a Child (PAC). These perspectives lay the cognitive, psychological, and emotional foundation for the four Life Positions Gods/Earths have, and how we express our Culture:

1. I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K.


2. I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.

3. I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.

4. I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.


I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K.
(I’m not as much a God/Earth as you!)
This type of God/Earth can be defined as a Chronic Complainer, Anti-Social, Hater, a Solicitor for Pity, Competitor, and Malcontent. They’re NOT O.K. because they never received an adequate amount of stroking/reassurance, or came to terms with preverbal/formative experiences and Trauma they suffered in childhood and throughout their lives such as: molestation, abuse, neglect, poverty, bullying, disenfranchisement, Parental Alienation, Racism, and other experiences that reinforced those initial impressions of NOT being O.K. as a baby. Because they’re NOT O.K. and look at other Gods/Earths as being O.K., they may find comfort in alienating themselves from Gods/Earths who are O.K. because it hurts to be around “O.K.” Gods/Earths. Being around O.K. Gods/Earths only magnifies that they’re NOT O.K.. These type of Gods/Earths usually alienate themselves; anonymously existing on “an island” (27/1-40), and fail to maintain significant relationships with others because they never learned how to. You may find them living in rural/out of the way places, completely detached from Family, Community, and our Nation, stewing in their own psychological juices. Because of their sense of detachment, this type of person is inclined towards fiction (“lie”: 4/1-14). Using fiction in the form of fictitious names, people, places, and things, they manufactures a Fantasy World around themselves, and usually have none to very few valid sources to verify any of their actual exploits, adventures, or endeavors.

Another thing that’s characteristic of Gods/Earths who’s Life Position is ‘I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K.’ is that they’re ultra-insecure if/when they’re around other Gods/Earths. As a defense mechanism, they thrive on Competition and always feel a need to Show & Prove how better, smarter, wealthier, attractive, etc. they are than every other God/Earth. All of this is a transparent “shield” (5/1-14), because deep down inside, they’re really NOT O.K. and it’s always made obvious by the fact that they go out of their way to try to Show and Prove to People that they are. Some Gods/Earths are under the impression that competition/adversity, whether real or imagined, is a motivating factor to make them elevate. They try to “show forth and prove their power” by making Devils, completely oblivious to the fact that “Allah is God, always has been and always will be”, and doesn’t depend upon this makeshift competition/adversity to show & prove how allwise & righteous you are. The reality is, it’s not really the competition/adversity that’s motivating NOT O.K Gods/Earths. If it was, then they would be O.K. after the dust clears. Unfortunately this is usually not the case, and when the dust clears, you’ll cee/hear this God/Earth still talking about their next battle, and expressing how they’re still NOT O.K.! In their case, no matter what they do, they’re NOT O.K., and when everything seems to be going alright, “it’s always something!”

I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.
(Gods/Earths are only human, we’re not perfect or holy!)
This type of God/Earth suffers from stroking deprivation and childhood Trauma. Their Caretaker(s) ESPECIALLY their Mother neglected them during their preverbal/formative years, and this is when they began to learn that they’re NOT O.K. and no other Gods/Earths are either. This type of God/Earth never learned to bond with others, and isn’t really open to learn. Since they’re NOT O.K. and no Gods/Earths are either, no one can build with them. Why? Because the God/Earth trying to build with them is NOT O.K. either! The Trauma they suffered as a child such as: molestation, abuse, neglect, poverty, bullying, disenfranchisement, Parental Alienation, Racism, a Handicap, etc.., and lack of stroking/assurance, conditioned them to think it’s impossible for them to ever be O.K.. So even though they claim to have KOS, have Divine Attributes, and call themselves Gods/Earths, they continue to engage in activities that don’t live up to these Titles. They even go as far as to openly tell People that they can’t and don’t intend to either. Another characteristic of these types of Gods/Earths can be chemical/substance abuse, chronic belligerence, inconsideration, contempt for themselves/others, and a ready to die ‘Menticide’ approach towards life. This is the type of God/Earth that will go to a Medina Rally trying to bomb somebody about why their Caucasian counterpart is God/Earth too.

Because the only stroking/assurance they received was the basic creature comforts of a baby, in the early years of their development, and over time, this God/Earth learned to live without it. Therefore they gave up on relationships entirely, and consequently determined that others are just as incapable of forging relationships as they are. This type of God/Earth advocates a NO GOD/EARTH IS O.K. Philosophy, systematically looks for blemishes in other Gods/Earths to prove they’re NOT O.K., and uses statements such as “nobody’s perfect”, “hug your imperfections”, “God is just a man”, “I’m only human”, etc. to try to justify their own psychological (and often physical) handicap. They also use this as a method to ostracize concepts and Gods/Earths who are being/doing O.K. in order to get others to buy into their dysfunction as a standard of normalcy: (“…also to deceive the People so that they would believe in them.” 5/1-14, “To make our People of North America believe that the People of that Continent are the only People they have and are all savages.” 7/1-14). In addition to opposing those who strive to be O.K., these Gods/Earths may also “do everything within their -limited- power” (40/1-40) to try to prove how NOT O.K. other Gods/Earths are by striving to destroy them. Deep down inside, these types of Gods/Earths never learned to care about his/her “ownself” (13/1-36), and that’s why it’s so easy to show how much they don’t care about others.

I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.
(I’m THE God/Earth, you’re not!)
This type of God/Earth was also deprived of stroking and often suffered severe emotional and physical abuse at the hands of their Caretaker(s). In response to this, and in order to survive, they learned to ‘self stroke’ (comfort/assure themselves) by licking their own wounds. It’s been said that the early history of criminal psychopaths are People who hold this Psychological Position. As such a Gods/Earths grows, gains more strength to survive, and begins to feel O.K., their hatred also grows for those who severely abused them. Hence the Position of I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. is born.

The danger of this Psychological Position is the fact that the Trauma has caused them to not look inward. So anything that happens is always someone else’s fault, and they never learn to take responsibility for their own conditioning. This Psychological Position whittled away their conscience, bred a narcissistic personality, and no matter what they say/do it’s somehow O.K. -in their own Mind. Although Gods/Earths who believe that “I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.” is suicidal and capable of hurting themselves/others based upon a “I don’t give a f*ck about nothing!” attitude, a Gods/Earths who believe “I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.”, is capable of hurting others based upon the idea that, “I don’t give a f*ck about you, and whatever I do -to you- is O.K..”

Because these Gods/Earths were deprived of strokes and learned to ‘self stroke’, they never learned to recognize nor appreciate a stroke from someone else. Therefore, the only person they’re capable of keeping a relationship with is the distorted image of themselves, and this is also exemplified in a preoccupation with grandiose ideas, drama, violence, and sadomasochistic; all characteristics typical in the profile of criminal psychopaths and serial killers. Even if they do develop a pseudo-relationship with others, it’s only a matter of time before they reject them because they’re not O.K. (never good enough), something is wrong with them, and it’s always their fault why they’re not building anymore.

I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.
(We are The NGE!)
This type of God/Earth has grown and developed to the point where they’ve used this Culture to make sense of their own conditionings to the point where they’re O.K.. Not only are they O.K., b.u.t. they can appreciate how other Gods/Earths are O.K. too. Transactional Analysis suggests that the first three Psychological Positions are based upon feelings while the fourth Psychological Position (I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.) is based upon thought and action. The reason being is because the first three Psychological Positions were forged during our preverbal/formative years and childhood upbringing. These Positions were not taken based upon a critical analysis of our social circumstances because we didn’t have the cognitive ability. As we grow to Adulthood, hopefully we develop this cognitive ability to make sense out of our social conditionings. “I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.” is fundamental to healthy, functional relationships with ourselves as Gods/Earths, with others, and with the Planet Earth.

How do we apply (PAC) and these four Psychological Positions to our 8-Point Cultural Curriculum? How does this branch of Psychology relate to dealing with ourselves and other Gods/Earths?

To be continued…
Peace!

Transactional Analysis
Part 1


Transactional Analysis is a branch of Psychology (a Social Psychology) that was developed by Dr. Eric Berne as a means to critique the social interactions between People. He wanted to design a system of analysis that was easy to understand and use for the common person. People, he said, were threefold and consist of a Parent, Adult, and a Child (PAC) EGO State. The Parent represents the socialization data we received from our Caretakers. The Child represents our reaction to this data, and the Adult represents our response and interpretation of this data. Dr. Berne suggested that in any social “transaction”, you can always discern who you are (Parent, Adult, or Child?), and who you’re communicating with (Parent, Adult, or Child?). Here’s an example to illustrate the following “transactions”. Keep in Mind that these transactions reflect Parent, Child, or Adult (PAC) exchanges of People who are physically mature (18 years +):

Parent: You need to stop talking like that.
Child: I don’t care.

Adult: What time are you getting off of work?
Adult: Around 4pm.

Child: I got the Supreme Wisdom Book from The Leader himself!
Child: Well I got 120 from First Born Prince!

Parent: The food in the Cafeteria is always nasty.
Parent: I know, and it’s always cold too.

Child: She will never like me.
Adult: So what are you going to do about that?

Parent: Christians worship a White Jesus.
Adult: Not all Christians. The National Catholic Reporter sponsored an International Art Competition to come up with an image of ‘Jesus of 2000’. A White Woman named Janet McKenzie won and her picture is a Black Jesus.

Based upon the above examples, you can cee where the Communication can easily break down, how Communication will only go in a circle, and how Communication can be something progressive. The Communication that does break down is defined as ‘crossed transactions’ because People are coming from two different places. Someone may be striving to have an Adult conversation and we may be responding like a Child. We may be discussing something as a Parent, and the other person is just being an Adult about it. It’s like Bob Dylan says in his song Shelter from the Storm’, “I got my signals crossed.” One thing Dr. Berne also suggested is that as long as the transactions are complementary (Adult-Adult, Child-Child, Parent-Parent), then these interactions can go on indefinitely. Complementary transactions ARE NOT only defined as Adult-Adult, Child-Child, and Parent-Parent either. Sometimes a complementary transaction can be considered Parent-Child: which is oftentimes the 1950’s, Male/Female, Eurocentric-styled Patriarchal Dynamic that Original People have often adopted in the Conscious Community. In The NGE, this Dynamic expresses itself as a God coming home to be greeted by his barefoot, meek, unintelligible Earth. She usually knows little to nothing about our Culture, is alienated from his social equality, and has his vegetarian dinner and 5 Percenter Newspaper ready for him when he walks in the door. It also goes the other way around where Gods play the role of a Child and the Earth plays the role of Parent (Mother). In this Dynamic the God usually doesn’t work or has never had a consistent work history. So he sits at home or stays in the streets while the Earth takes care of basically everything, including him, with the rest of her other children.

One thing you’ll also notice about the (PAC) is this: based upon how a person predominately interacts with others, they can be either heavily influenced by the Parent, or heavily influenced by the Child. If they’re heavily influenced by The Parent, they tend to be ‘prejudiced’ in their perspectives because they’re running off of some archaic data they received from their Parents: “Don’t trust nobody”, “All Men cheat”, “Light skin is more beautiful”, “Jehovah is God”, etc.. A person heavily influenced by their Parent is also overly serious, lacks fun and sense of humor. If a person is heavily influenced by The Child, they tend to be delusional in their perspectives because they’re running off of data in reaction to their Parents: “When I met you 2 weeks ago, I fell in love you. Will you marry me?”, “When I finish this demo tape I’ll be on Oprah.”, “I know you were talking about me, you’re laughing”, “When I hit this number tonight, I’m gonna buy you a Lamborghini!” A person heavily influenced by their Child also lacks a conscience, responsibility, and makes a lot of decisions off of whim with very little regard for the consequences. They’re more concerned about having fun more than anything. Sometimes you have a person who has what is called ‘a blocked out Adult’. This person is deemed psychotic because they didn’t consciously process the socialization they received from their Parent nor have they processed how they reacted as a Child. Therefore, they have no clear sense of right versus wrong.

In the positive sense, and with proper balance, the Parent influence brings order, stability, and tradition. The Adult brings responsibility, discernment, and options. The Child brings creativity, flexibility, and growth. In order to access these positive characteristics, a person must be in an Adult Position of ‘responsibility’ to ‘discern’ these ‘options’. The Adult serves as the cognitive, psychological, and emotional filter of our Parent and Child data. Within 120, one of these Adult Positions is characterized by the phrase, “so we put them on the worst part and kept the best part preserved for ourselves.” Although I don’t advocate that a person has three separate components to the Self, I can cee the importance of being a responsible Adult about recognizing possible Parental ‘prejudices’ we’ve adopted (Religion: “said other than10/1-10), and Childlike ‘delusions’ (Misled: “there is no Mystery God10/1-40) that make us “easily led in the wrong direction, and hard to be led in the right direction.” (14/1-40) All of us were children at one point in our physical growth & development. That Child was shaped and molded by the experiences via our Caretakers (Parent). As we’ve grown into Adults, we decide for ourselves how we want to use these experiences to shape/define our life.

According to Dr. Thomas Harris in his Book I'm O.K., You're O.K. , based upon our Parent, Adult, Child (PAC) socialization, there are four Psychological Positions that People have in Life:

1.) I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K.
2.)
I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.
3.)
I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.
4.)
I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.



I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K. (You’re better than me!)
This type of person can be defined as a Chronic Complainer, Anti-Social, Hater, a Solicitor for Pity, Competitor, and Malcontent. They’re NOT O.K. because they never received an adequate amount of stroking/reassurance, or came to terms with preverbal/formative experiences and Trauma they suffered in childhood and throughout their lives such as: molestation, abuse, neglect, poverty, bullying, disenfranchisement, Parental Alienation, Racism, and other experiences that reinforced those initial impressions of NOT being O.K. as a baby. Because they’re NOT O.K. and look at others as being O.K., they may find comfort in alienating themselves from People who are O.K. because it hurts to be around “O.K.” People. Being around O.K. People only magnifies that they’re NOT O.K.. These type of People usually alienate themselves; anonymously existing on “an island” (27/1-40), and fail to maintain significant relationships with others because they never learned how to. You may find them living in rural/out of the way places, completely detached from Family and a Community, stewing in their own psychological juices. Because of their sense of detachment, this type of person is inclined towards fiction (“lies”: 4/1-14). Using fiction in the form of fictitious names, people, places, and things, they manufactures a Fantasy World around themselves, and usually have none to very few valid sources to verify any of their actual exploits, adventures, or endeavors.

Another thing that’s characteristic of a person who’s Life Position is ‘I’m NOT O.K. and you’re O.K.’ is that they’re ultra-insecure if/when they’re around others. They thrive on Competition and always feel a need to prove how better, smarter, wealthier, attractive, etc. they are than everybody else. All of this is a transparent “shield” (5/1-14), because deep down inside, they’re really NOT O.K. and it’s always made obvious by the fact that they go out of their way to try to prove to People that they are. Some People are under the impression that competition/adversity, whether real or imagined, is a motivating factor to make them achieve their goals. The reality is, it’s not really the competition/adversity that’s motivating NOT O.K People. If it was, then they would be O.K. when the dust clears. Unfortunately this is usually not the case, and when the dust clears, you’ll cee/hear this person still talking about their next battle, expressing how they’re still NOT O.K.! In their case, no matter what they do, they’re NOT O.K., and when everything seems to be going alright, “it’s always something!”

I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. (I ain’t *hit and nobody else is either!)
This type of person suffers from stroking deprivation and childhood Trauma. Their Caretaker(s) ESPECIALLY their Mother neglected them during their preverbal/formative years, and this is when they began to learn that they’re NOT O.K. and no one else is either. This type of person never learned to bond with others, and isn’t open to learn. Since they’re NOT O.K. and no one else is either, no one can help them. Why? Because the person offering help is NOT O.K. too! The Trauma they suffered as a child such as: molestation, abuse, neglect, poverty, bullying, disenfranchisement, Parental Alienation, Racism, a Handicap, etc.., and lack of stroking/assurance, conditioned them to think it’s impossible for them to ever be O.K. or for any other human being either. Another characteristic of this type of person can be chemical/substance abuse, chronic belligerence, inconsideration, contempt for themselves/others, and a ready to die ‘Menticide’ philosophy towards life. This is the type of person that walks into bar frequented by off-duty Police Officers just to start a fight while he’s on Probation.

Because the only stroking/assurance they received was the basic creature comforts of a baby, in the early years of their development, and over time, this person learned to live without it. Therefore they gave up on relationships entirely, and consequently determined that others are just as incapable of forging relationships as they are. This type of person advocates a NOBODY’S O.K. Philosophy, systematically looks for blemishes in others to prove NOBODY’S O.K., and uses statements such as “nobody’s good”, “hug your imperfections”, “God is just a man”, “I’m only human”, etc. to try to justify their own psychological (and often physical) handicap. They also use this as a method to ostracize concepts and People who are being/doing O.K. in order to get people to buy into their dysfunction as a standard of normalcy: (“…also to deceive the People so that they would believe in them.5/1-14, “To make our People of North America believe that the People of that Continent are the only People they have and are all savages.7/1-14). In addition to opposing those who strive to be O.K., such a person may also “do everything within their -limited- power” (40/1-40) to try to prove how NOT O.K. others are by striving to destroy them. Deep down inside, this person never learned to care about his/her “ownself” (13/1-36), and that’s why it’s so easy to show how much they don’t care about others.

I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. (I'm strait! Everybody else is f*cked up!)
This type of person was also deprived of stroking and often suffered severe emotional and physical abuse at the hands of their Caretaker(s). In response to this, and in order to survive, they learned to ‘self stroke’ (comfort/assure themselves) by licking their own wounds. It’s been said that the early history of criminal psychopaths are People who hold this Psychological Position. As such a person grows, gains more strength to survive, and begins to feel O.K., their hatred also grows for those who severely abused them. Hence the Position of I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K. is born.

The danger of this Psychological Position is the fact that the Trauma has caused them to not look inward. So anything that happens is always someone else’s fault, and they never learn to take responsibility for their own conditioning. This Psychological Position whittled away their conscience, bred a narcissistic personality, and no matter what they do it’s somehow O.K. -in their own Mind. Although a person who believes that “I’m NOT O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.” is suicidal and capable of hurting themselves/others based upon a “I don’t give a f*ck about nothing!” attitude, a person who believes “I’m O.K. and you’re NOT O.K.”, is capable of hurting others based upon the idea that, “I don’t give a f*ck about you, and whatever I do -to you- is O.K..”

Because this person was deprived of strokes and learned to ‘self stroke’, they never learned to recognize nor appreciate a stroke from someone else. Therefore, the only person they’re capable of keeping a relationship with is the distorted image of themselves, and this is also exemplified in a preoccupation with violence, porn, and chronic masturbation; all characteristics typical in the profile of criminal psychopaths and serial killers. Even if they do develop a pseudo-relationship with others, it’s only a matter of time before they reject them because they’re not O.K. (never good enough), something’s wrong with them, and it’s always their fault why they’re not friends/partners anymore. In the most extreme cases, this person is criminal psychopath who murders these People.

I’m O.K. and you’re O.K. (We’re all good!)
This type of person has grown and developed to the point where they’ve made sense of their own conditionings to the point where they’re O.K.. Not only are they O.K., b.u.t. they can appreciate how others are O.K. too. Transactional Analysis suggests that the first three Psychological Positions are based upon feelings while the fourth Psychological Position (I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.) is based upon thought and action. The reason being is because the first three Psychological Positions were forged during our preverbal/formative years and childhood upbringing. These Positions were not taken based upon a critical analysis of our social circumstances because we didn’t have the cognitive ability. As we grow to Adulthood, hopefully we develop this cognitive ability to make sense out of our social conditionings. “I’m O.K. and you’re O.K.” is fundamental to healthy, functional relationships with ourselves, with others, and with the Planet Earth.

How does (PAC) and these four Psychological Positions apply to us as Original People? How does this relate to the Culture of The NGE, and how can Gods/Earths use this Social Psychology to help improve their lives?

To be continued…

Peace!

Keepin it 100” or “Keeping it Real are not Moral Declarations. In fact, “Keepin it 100” or “Keeping it Real” doesn’t mean someone is “Keeping it Right” or that they're even interested in being Right at all. Keeping it “real” can mean a person’s attitude is “real” ugly, they’re talking “real” greasy, they’re being “real” ignorant, and they’re “really” uncivilized. People will say/do the most out of pocket, disrespectful, un-lady like, and clownish things in the name of “I’m just keeping it 100!”, and it’s even worst when People who think, speak, and behave this way are so-called “Conscious” …

One of the problems The NOI had and often still have with The NGE (Five Percenters) is the fact that we have 120 Lessons without their Rules of Instruction or Restrictive Laws. They were concerned that People would get this Knowledge and use it for evil (wrong) without a Moral Code. This was and continues to be a very valid concern on the part of The NOI, because there are so-called Gods/Earths “trying to” use our Lessons for evil (wrong). Based upon their character, attitude, and social activities, there are many so-called Gods/Earths that I would never allow in my Home, ESPECIALLY around my children. The Internet is full of these individual’s Blogs, Blogtalk Shows, Vlogs, FB Pages, etc… who claim to be a God or Earth. This is not and has never been “The Status Quo” nor Social Standard of our Nation. To claim to be a God/Earth meant we dedicated ourselves to positive growth & development in order to improve our quality of life, and the quality of life of our Family, our Community, and our People as a whole. If a person claims to be a God/Earth yet has no sense/concept of “our”, “us”, or “we” (Collective), then there’s a fundamental problem with how they’re using this Knowledge -regardless how intelligent they appear to be. Our Nation was founded upon The Father giving of himself genuinely and completely to his Community, especially the Youth, and all of us who claim to be Members, Affiliated with, or Sympathizers of The NGE would not be here if it wasn’t for his selfless commitment to our People.

Now although there is a segment of so-called Gods/Earths who seem to be unconcerned about demonstrating Civilization (“one having Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Culture, Refinement, and is not a savage in the pursuit of Happiness17/1-40), there are many Gods/Earths who’s Moral Code (Laws) is derived directly from 120 Lessons and “some” of the other teachings, particularly dietary, of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. So for this segment of our Nation, consciousness, conscientiousness, discipline, ethics, responsibility, and commitment are the hallmarks used to strive for Righteousness. It is this segment who truly uphold the Duty of Civilized People, and lead the People in the right direction, not easily leading them in the wrong direction.

Where is the Moral Code in 120?
Here’s one thing our Lessons (14/1-40) has to say about Morals/Ethics in regards to 85% of the population, “…easily led in ‘the wrong’ direction, and hard to be led in ‘the right’ direction.” This along with other Lessons (4/1-14, 14, 15/1-36, 1, 17-40) informs us that there is a clear concept of a ‘wrong’ and a ‘right’ way to do things.

120 Lessons are learning tools. These tools are in the form of Historical Facts, Allegories, Geography, Science, Psychology, Socioeconomics, Family Dynamics, etc..., constructed to convey ‘wrong’ and/or ‘right’ Principles, Values, and Procedures. These Principles, Values, and Procedures show us the difference between God/Devil, Righteous/Wickedness, and ultimately what these Principles, Values, and Procedures produce. For example, we learn in the 10/1-14 about "Weak and Wicked" in Principle, the Importance (Value) in identifying it, and the proper Procedure how to handle it when it does arise in our cipher. A person walking around with just Supreme Mathematics -which tells you nothing about the above said Lesson-, is missing a great deal when they cannot extract the various different Principles, Values, and Procedures within that Lesson. Another example is the 6th Actual Fact about "Deserts". There are many Principles & Values to be learned about a Desert Landscape and Desert Wildlife/Vegetation. There are also many Procedures that we can use that will ultimately determine if we live/die in that type of “harsh” environment. We all come across this type of terrain in our lives, especially in a Relationship, and it helps to know how to handle that circumstance if/when we do. Many People don’t realize that although Desert heat can top over 100° before 10am, that same Desert can drop below zero at night! So imagine that; it’s possible to freeze to death in a Desert. A Camel is called ‘the ship of the desert’ so imagine being in this type of situation without that kind of support… Since Deserts cover 14 million square miles of the Planet’s 57,255,000 square miles, this informs us that whatever we "grow and make" from the beginning is gonna have alittle Desert in it. (9/1-14) And to expect anything different is nothing b.u.t. a mirage… So there’s a lot to be learned about Principles, Values, and Procedures when it comes to studying 120. I must mention here that producing or making ‘a Devil’ is specifically outlined within our Lessons, so there should never be a misconception as to When, Where, Why, How, Who, and What makes a Devil! It’s all right there in black and white, and there is no way around it. Usually when you hear so-called Gods/Earths advocating ‘That’s just how he/she cee’s it”, 85% of the time they’re lacking in the area of recognizing/adhering to the Moral Codes in 120. Why? Because sometimes how we cee something in Principle, what we Value, and the Procedure we’re using is absolutely wrong. Sometimes Gods/Earths don’t recognize this because they don’t have or study 120. Sometimes they’re relying entirely on Supreme Mathematics, and as I mentioned before, Supreme Mathematics tells you nothing explicit about ‘wrong’ or ‘right’. Now whether these People mature enough to learn the difference between ‘wrong’ and ‘right’ is entirely up to them. Sometimes you’ll have People who do have 120, and are aware of it’s obvious Moral Codes, yet choose not to adhere to them. It is this segment of so-called Gods/Earths who have almost single handedly earned this Nation the negative press and bad reputation we receive in/outside of Correctional Facilities throughout the Country.

The major theme of KOS in general, and 120 specifically, is RESPONSIBILITY. Taking responsibility is one of the biggest challenges to a person’s growth & development. Taking responsibility for improving our lives, helping improve the lives of others, helping improve our Communities, and ultimately the World we all live in. It’s our Duty (RESPONSIBILITY) as Civilized People to “teach he (or she) who is savage Civilization, Righteousness, the Knowledge of Him (or Her) Self, the Science of everything in Life, Love, Peace, and Happiness.” (18/1-40) None of us are on “an Island” and have/are benefitting from the work of others to some degree. The food, clothing, and shelter came from somebody. Our relationships are because of somebody. We wouldn’t even be physically here if it wasn’t for others. Yes some of our experiences have not been good, yet someone, somewhere, at some time has been instrumental in helping us out in a good way. The Universe (Everything) is interdependent and “reciprocal” (A Circle of Life). So imagine the quality of life, lifestyle, and longevity of a person with a selfish mentality like they don’t need to do sh*t for nobody… With a “do me” attitude and an “I’mma get what I want and don’t give a f*ck about what nobody thinks” philosophy on life, how long do you think this person could last in a relationship? In the most basic sense, if we’re not giving anything, then we don’t deserve to receive nothing. Bob Dylan says it in this way, “Today you have the power to take it, but tomorrow you won’t have the power to keep it.”

In closing, I want to remind all of you that if we don’t take responsibility for what we do, what we don’t do, and what we allow/allowed to happen in our life, it’s impossible for us to grow & develop. If it’s everybody else’s fault why we’re at where we’re at in life, then they also have the power over our destiny. They may not care or even have a clue how they effected us. So if we’re waiting for them to do something before we take the initiative to start changing our circumstances for ourselves, then we’re “waiting on a Mystery” (10/1-40). When it comes to Morality/Ethics, there are ‘wrong’ and ‘right’ ways to do everything, and as Gods/Earths we have dedicated our lives to knowing the difference –and aligning ourselves with what’s Right & Exact. The ‘wrongness’ and ‘rightness’ about some situations can be relative, based upon the situation: such as the ‘wrong’ or ‘right’ time to speak. There are also ‘wrongs’ and ‘rights’ that are completely absolute: such as neglecting our children being absolutely ‘wrong’, and not lying, stealing, or trying master others being absolutely ‘right’. Some People mockingly call Gods and Earths “goody two-shoes” simply because they have a problem doing things ‘right’. I can understand it though because most things in their own life constantly go ‘wrong’ for them for them, from their relationships, to their work, to their health. It’s hard for them to actually cee a place “founded in Peace” (5/1-14) with the mess around them -that they usually haven’t taken responsibility for making. The reality is, true & living Gods/Earth are far from that! We’re good People who’re striving to do the right things to earn, enjoy, and extend our stay here on the Planet Earth.

Peace!
