The Worship of Death

Peace y'all. I rose from rest this morning thinking about my Grand Ol Dad, my mother's father. He was a cool, funny dude who gave 30 plus years of service to the New York Fire Department. Shortly after he returned to the essence, there was a bill passed to commemorate him by naming a street after him and creating a full body sculpture of him for his exemplary service to the city. I couldn't help but wonder "why was he never acknowledged for his duty while he was still alive? It was then that I did the knowledge on the "worship of death" that is a pillar of destroy culture society. Some days on my ride to work I may listen to the radio and on the urban stations it's not uncommon to hear "Today is the anniversary of 2pac/Biggie/Ol Dirty Bastard's death."-and they'll play that person's music back to back for hours. Granted, I love the music, however this sh*t burns me up!!! Ol heads'll say "Gimme my flowers while I can still smell them." and I agree. At the same time, I guess it's the dualistic dynamic of life and death that we are never fully cognizant of how much of an impact a person has had on the world until they leave it. I'll take it a step further though, destroy culture teaches and keeps our people illiterate by suggesting a play with death is an act of life.I can recall planning to go to the movies or something, and saying how we was gon' smoke out or sip something before we roll out..As time goes on, you realize that you smoke and drink EVERYTIME you are about to experience something. Here's something else, say I'm at a party, maintaining, enjoying the atmosphere then I get approached by an old friend who offers to buy me a drink. I tell them I don't drink and they are floored cuz they remember all of my hoodlum/drunkard shenanigans of days past, then they say "C'moon Tiz...Live a little". Actually, I'm striving to live ALOT, which is why I quit drinking. Anyway, I'm sure you get the point-damn near anything associated with toying with death is led by the disclaimer "Live a little", from riding roller coasters to having unprotected sex to snorting lines of cocaine. The thing is, I toy with death everyday in my own ways, of course-that's just the nature of man being a scientist-yet I am not deluded into thinking that it is "living a little". It is what it is and I assess the risk vs the reward when determining my involvement. The worship of death is evident in how our society can perfect weapons, yet cannot divise a disease's cure, as well as the advertisement of the infamous crucifixion of Jesus. Another form of death worship that I see is the visiting of graves. Personally, I could never grasp the purpose of this. Whenever I look upon my deceased loved ones in their casket it is very obvious that they are no longer there. So to visit that former "residence" would suggest a personal psychological ailment on my part. And to bring it gifts and talk to it would suggest an even more serious psychological illness...that's just me though..

Holidays

Holidays..holy days..not mixed, diluted or tampered with in any form..days. As far as I've studied and experienced these days are quite far from holy. Participation is celebration and I cannot fathom involving myself in any celebration that is not relative to the Original family's true nature and culture. Such involvement would be a form of worship and I place no partners with God-that's blasphemy(LOL). I do attend things like Carribean, Puerto Rican and other festivals, as their culture is a branch from the same tree as my own. I learn alot about history and custom from these events-you should check one out when you get the chance. I also do the local Untiy Day event here in my hometown. Aside from born/degree days, Mother's day and Father's day I do not loan myself, energy, time nor finances into "holidays". Anything that is not conducive to my way of life is counterproductive and regressive.I am, however, creating/compiling a list of days that my family and I can celebrate that will support our core values. Maybe a "Malcolm X day" or something. I think this would be something peace to establish now for the eventual passing down to future generations (in addition to NGE Universal Family events). Not to mention, imagine the seeds going to school dropping jewels to their classmates and teacher about THEIR holiday???!! That's an opportunity to teach on an even broader scale, cuz you know the kids are gonna run home and ask they Mommy and Daddy some questions which may spark them for some additional learning. The root of civilization (120)is the foundation, the common cause. As father, I am the foundation, the guider and director of the familial movement.How can one adopt the ways of their enemy and still remain themselves? Ultimately they cannot.

The responsibility of influence

-And when he had said this, the crowd drew nigh, and when they knew him they began to cry out: "Welcome to thee, O our God!" and they began to do him reverence, as unto God. Whereupon Jesus gave a great groan and said: "Get ye from before me, O madmen, for I fear lest the earth should open and devour me with you for your abominable words!"
excerpt from The Gospel of Barnabas

The above excerpt is pertaining to people claiming Jesus as God, and his alleged stance against that title. He was aware that his teaching was powerful and attractive, however he took alot of responsibility in his influence on the people.
The responsibility of influence is a very sensitive thing. It deals with ownership of your effect on people. The variable is that you cannot determine how you affect someone else. Their receptivity is the sole controlling factor in this.So, you may be asking "How does that make me responsible?", and the answer is simple..consideration(or the lack there of). The smallest gesture you make toward a person could impress upon them in the deepest regard, all the while you may be completely oblivious to it. That seed could be nurtured into a tree of good or evil if one is not mindful enough.
Another example of "responsibility of influence" is when I used to work at this medical billing office. There were certain things that had become a part of the daily culture there, however they may not have been acceptable per policy-such as punching in, then going to get breakfast from the cafe, resulting in 20 min of paid break time. This doesn't sound that bad, right? Until you add "magnetic" into the equation. Now, you have people noticing EVERY thing, place, person, that you are involved with/in for no necessary reason, other than you uncannily garner extra attention. Which also means, no one sees anything anyone else does, yet everyone sees EVERYTHING that you do. So, you must take care and time to ensure that what you say/do to/around people is as direct as possible, and that you have considered the different ways they may interpret what you have said or done.It's kind of like those videos you watch about "Harassment". Harassment has nothing to do with your intention, how a person took the gesture or comment is the conclusive element. Having Knowledge of Self multiplies this responsibility by a hundredfold. Because we deal with the most sensitive subjects in society.When you begin to dissect morality and principle, people are thrust into a very vulnerable position and may react in a number of ways. Your consideration beforehand will guide the sword of truth more precisely. Responsibility of influence means you must have an understanding for all people, even though people may hold no understanding for you..I know, I know, being true and living is a thankless job, but we don't do this for the thanks, now do we?

The Magic of Micheal Jackson

My colleague/brother found a link for a 3 disc Jackson 5 collection.I can't wait to get my PC back on its feet so I can grab it because Mike is the truth.Me and my committee had discussed how ill he was as a kid competing with grown men of his time and SMASHING s**t!! Not to mention what he did as an adult.You can't deny how impactful the man is..no matter how throwed off he appears to be..One of the days I realized how deep Mike really was was while my oldest sun Ishine was attending Muhammad Islamic Academy.I came to pick him up and he was so charged! He proceeded to school me on the movie they watched at school and how ill this guy named Michael Jackson was. It was hilarious at first, I couldn't help thinking " How my lil man gon' school me on Mike???!!!"Then it really dawned on me how expansive Mike's appeal was. Shine detailed how Mike could sing,dance, become a werewolf,car and spaceship on the movie he watched, while all I could do was be proud as an Original man. Mike has sold millions of records, made millions of dollars , pulled some of the shrewdest business moves, made thousands cry and faint, without a gloating moment whatsoever..Tell me he ain't the sh*t?! And here we are today and the glow in my seed's eyes reflects the magic of the Moonwalker.

Observing Horizontal growth vs Vertical growth cont'd

Vertical growth could be considered as things that make one "upright". In various fields of life "a stand up guy" is respected and admired because he has morals and guidelines that somehow consider others while not compromising himself. The awakening in one self that yearns for vertical growth is a portion of the growth itself. In the book "Zen: A Beginner's Mind" the master states how people think a practice or position of the body will provide enlightenment, while the actual recognition of things being in discord and wanting to change IS the enlightenment itself. The seeking of Horizontal growth is not so promising though. If vertical means upright then horizontal would be just that- parallel to the horizon/laying down/set.My family have a term that relates to one seeking horizontal growth, they're called "savage in pursuit of happiness". "Savage" describes the barbarity of their means of survival and the "pursuit" details that they never gain what they are chasing (happiness). Savagery is an animalistic behavior and animals don't have the capacity to comprehend the idea of happiness.Animals live by instinctual urge.Hunger means Eat.Opposite sex means mate.Danger means fight/flight. Happiness does not fit into the animal survival rule book.It wouldn't, as happiness is dealing with LIVING not survival. One would need some form of vertical growth to know the difference. the coordinate plane in Algebra shows horizontal/vertical growth.Although they are going in two different directions they may intersect. This intersection is what we are striving for ultimately. If drawn with a pencil the intersection would be a cross. Complete with four quadrants, each having a 90 degree angle equalling a total of 360 degrees showing the completion of one's self. The center of that cross is the point of origin and from that point of location one can now travel ANYWHERE horizontally or vertically and be able to take the best part for themselves. The point is the actualization of value and from that value others can be calculated.

Observing Horizontal growth vs Vertical growth

The concept of horizontal growth vs vertical growth is regarding physical/tangible gain juxtaposed to mental/intangible gain. One of the best examples of horizontal growth is shown in some of the multimillionaire athletes and celebrities being caught up in nonsensical bufoonery while folks like my Nana (PBUH)would say " They rich enough to know better." On the contrary, having money and opportunity doesn't afford a person intelligence.We must also keep in mind that circumstances do not change people, they merely provide the time and space for a person to reveal who they were all along. So, most of the dogfightin, leg shootin, wife killin, hotel help humpin would still be taking place on some level with our stars..we just didn't cee it til they got rich, feel me?I think the idiocy we cee in some of our megastars is due to an imbalance of focus between their craft and themselves. Mastery of their craft has secured horizontal growth, however they did not invest in any vertical growth to provide guidance or purpose to their path. The elements of vertical growth are any principles or teachings that are internalized to increase a person's awareness or enlightenment. There is no set place to find these elements and no one place, book, or person has a monopoly on it. There are thousands of ways to get downtown, we all don't have to take Broad Street, ya know? A lot of us have not defined our own success, so as soon as some money rolls in we think " We made it!" and stop striving for anything more. Perfect example, Jay-Z...His passion for music is/was based on money, hence the more money he makes, the suckier his music gets. Vertical growth prompts one to establish goals of personal fulfillment which strengthen the character and reinforces one's integrity regardless of what their horizontal ambitions may be. Vertical gain always enhances the horizontal earning potential, however horizontal gain does nothing for vertical growth, unless it is lost in abundance, it seems........

From desert to oasis

Deserts cover 14,000,000 square miles. A desert is an arid land usually sparse of vegetation. I cee this as the current knowledge of culture in Original women-be it the few that actually know the culture and live or the 85 other percent that either don't know of it at all or what is known about it does not bear any life. Deserts are called such due to lack of rainfall and of course rain,hail,snow and earthquakes is caused by the Sun of Man.So the Original man must draw the woman(2) up 6 miles from her mental death by manfesting divine culture(4) to her (2+4=6). Evaporation,condensation and precipitation is that process of refinement that removes impure or harmful things from water(wisdom/woman). After the condensed mist of her new perspective reaches critical mass she will distill back to her previous plane renewed. The pressure of the downpour will wash the impurities left on her surface by condensation to deeper inner caves and crevasses to be further refined by the fires of her core self (magma).The rainfall revitalizes some of the inherent experience within her(lakes) and adds on to the wisdom she gains from living day to day(rivers).Some of it will even travel thru her so completely that she will express it outward(3/4ths or oceans)..Thats how I cee today's degree.Peace.

Motivation...adding on

This type of motivation I liken to a mental puberty. A growth spurt out of one realm of self into another more mature stage in development. When we begin operating more in tune with nature's rhythm our energy increases vibratory frequency.Low vibrations are closer to the mundane realm, high vibrations can surpass this Earthly atmosphere (high science). On this path of being lost then found we are constantly elevating this vibratory energy.Once a high level is obtained it takes stimili of an equal level to sustain and maintain self appropriately. For example, during one of my growth spurts I could no longer stomach the local radio programming. I fasted from radio for about wisdom-understanding years because I could not be sustained or maintained by what was being provided. At the time I was growing very rapidly and I could feel myself becoming isolated..This is not a good thing per se, for as I grew so much I was starting to not see equality in the world around me.Quite frankly I was not relating.It is like the Eastern monks that leave their village, go way off into the mountains to achieve enlightenment..Most of them ascertain the keys of self however the locks are not up in the mountains, they are in the villages they had left behind on their soulquest. The problem is now they been up on the mountain so long they cannot relate to the people of the village who need their help the most. I was able to refine myself before I became a mountain monk, however I lost some time. Nowaday, I am more than secure in my intentions and capability. There were certain angles that I drew up that were unheard of at the time which made me think I might've been on some big head scientist s**t , so a lot of stuff I kept to the side out of fear; however one cannot blaze a new trail while following in the footsteps of others,ya know? Even if that means manufacturing devil say my lessons. The intention is the governing force over all.

Motivation

Ambition breeds accomplishment , which in turn breeds more ambition. The past month or so has been a very eventful one as my family and I have relocated to a new home and I have procured a better employment oppurtunity. I feel the momentum in what's occurring and "Motivation" is what is resonating throughout my cipher. Motivate is of the root word motive which means impulsion or cause of a person's action.Motive is derived from motif which means dominant thought. The last part of the word is -ate or eight which is Build/Destroy in Supreme Mathematics helping me to cee Motivate as the impelling thought or cause of ones constructive or destructive act. This is a spotlight on intentions..As the Original Nation we will be most prosperous when our actions are based on original intention.Original intention is any thought in accord with you true nature-rightness and justness(righteousness). The justice for those who know is far greater than for those who don't know.Which is why it seems destroy-powers often evade the heaviest blow from the sword. It's because they are already dead and pain only exists to the living..Having knowledge of self in this Northern Wilderness can be a very painful and stressfull experience-however I would never trade the discomfort of this life for a moment of comfort in mental death.So we motivate.Keep it moving. Pain is weakness leaving the body.As long as we are just and true with our intentions the reward will always supercede the penalty.
