I STAND...UP

For as long as I could recall, I’ve been searching for Truth and where it was located, manifested originated, etc. Being raised Baptist, I was taught that Truth was one with God through Jesus. Further research revealed that the origins of Spirituality emanated from the continent of Africa or the Land of the Sun…So I started figuratively walking towards the S.u.n. (Science Uniting Nubians)

As a descendant of African people, born and raised in America, I’ve always felt the weight of racism personally and through observation against those who share the same ancestry, which caused me to mentally arm myself with bullets of knowledge, become wise and have the understanding on when/how to use said bullets. If need be, physically lay hands.

Keeping in mind to use my third eye to have 360 degrees of sight, enabling me to discern when to stand and when to take flight. All while “doing what I can, when I can, while I can for my people”, knowing that the Essence will provide sight to navigate through the chaos to see the jewels of knowledge through the ever present darkness.

I STAND…UP

“Taking my people with me”-Together to another mind-state to the original home
Far across the purifying waters of the Essence-Do you hear Knowledge of Self (Freedom) calling. Calling U-n-I to answer, Imma keep on keepin on…I can feel it in my Spiritual Bones…

I stay woke so I can bear witness before the S.u.n. begins to shine it’s warmth of knowledge. Steady moving to not only cross the line of ignorance and self deprecation, but to be immersed in the liberating energy of the Essence. I’ve navigated through the debilitating filth of “muddy waters” that manifested thoughts of my own inferiority complex. Huh, now my Spirit/Mind is filled with the vibration of the Great I AM, through my Ancestors. “I don’t mind if I lose any blood to the way to salvation...And I’ll fight with the strength that I got until I die.”

I STAND…UP

“Taking my people with me”-Together to another mind-state to the original home
Far across the purifying waters of the Essence-Do you hear Knowledge of Self (Freedom) calling. Calling U-n-I to answer, Imma keep on keepin on…I can feel it in my Spiritual Bones…

‘I know what’s facing me now and in the future, will be challenging for I started this journey alone. I might fail, but the Creator knows I tried, as the ancestors, like stars, fill the sky.’

I STAND…UP

“Taking my people with me”-Together to another mind-state to the original home
Far across the purifying waters of the Essence-Do you hear Knowledge of Self (Freedom) calling. Calling U-n-I to answer, Imma keep on keepin on…I can feel it in my Spiritual Bones…

I’m good though, built for this...For I hear the Ancestors....”I go to prepare a place for you.”

Inspired by the song ‘Stand up’ co written and song by Ms. Cynthia Erivo, from the Movie ‘Harriet’ with the phrases in quotations credited to the song.

WHAT'S IN A WORD?...The 'N' in You


Some thought have a certain sound, that equivalent to a form.
Through sound and motion, I have the ability to paralyze nerves,
Shatter bones, set fires & suffocate lungs...
From the movie ‘Dune’

Peace & Greetings, I pray all is well with You

Let’s go in…

All things are sound/vibration manifestations of the Great “I AM”, known by many names (God, Allah, Jehovah), including the Great Silence. From the Great Silence, manifestation of anything in the Physical Dimension/Plain starts with vibration, excuse me, it starts with an inspiration which causes vibration. The vibration then channels through the Spirit, the Mind, then manifested in the Physical Dimension. I’ve written and spoken about this process in previous posts and videos.

The power of ‘Word’ should not be understated…’Word’ through the vibration that it carries, possess its own properties/powers…In short, we should be mindful of the words that we use, especially those that we apply upon self, as well as individuals in which we like/love…The power of ‘Word’ manifests the World in which One has been conditioned to call reality…

When conducting workshops within the segment called ‘The Science of Sound’, I’ve addressed the significance of ‘Words’. Specifically, the titles/labels one places upon self. I lay out the foundation about ‘Sound Manifested’ and then we discuss the titles/labels that we place upon self. Eventually, I lead the participants to the usage of the word ‘Nigger’. This tends to lead to a debate, at times emotional, defending the usage. The students, primarily African American and Latino, argue that by changing the spelling of the word from ‘er’ to ‘a’, the negativity is removed. In addition, the students argued that the word should not be used by those of European descent. I allow them to make their case…

At this point, for the purpose of being consistent, I’ve written in previous posts that 'Energy is Energy' and what determines ‘Good’ or ‘Bad’ Energy is the intent. With that said, One may state that by changing the spelling from ‘er’ to ‘a’, with the intent of making it positive, means ‘Nigga’ is positive…Good point…

I would respond by saying “Isn’t it interesting how One would argue to legitimize the usage of this word, created/used by those who have (still) oppress us, yet take issue to being referred to as ‘god, Lord, King, Queen, Brotha, Sistah, etc…Not realizing that they have taken the mental oppression from said Colonizer and continue to imprison self…Hmmm.

Two more points, If one was to apply perfume on feces, it would probably smell slightly better than feces without the perfume, but it would still smell funky…Second, what is one’s obsession to hold onto this word versus others that have more powerful/positive meanings, as well as, more applicable as it relates to terms of endearment.

POST TRAUMATIC SLAVERY SYNDROME…I digress, where was I…Oh yeah..

I then, with the use of items from the class, gave them a simple analogy…

When explaining the difference in bodily function waste to a toddler, we may say ‘Poo Poo’, Doo Doo’, Number 2, a Movement, etc., Yes?...They nod in agreement…

Are any of these designations spelled the same?...No…But yet they all mean the same thing…Changing of the spelling of the word does not change the meaning when said meaning is present in the vibration of its origin…(This may seem to contradict the aforementioned explanation about energy and intent, but does it?)…

If One was to curb their dog after it had a movement outside, their intent is to pick up all of the feces, yes?...In their best efforts, there will still be some remnants of feces left on the ground…

The Etymology of the word Nigger comes from the Latin word meaning black, Niger (according to the Washington Post)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/nigger.htm?noredirect=on

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as an insulting and contemptuous term for a black person. It also had good explanation of etymology, usage and chronology in dictionaries.


I’ve researched other documents, but chose the aforementioned sources due to the chronology and other items written within it.

I then asked the students, “What are the reasons that you are calling yourself and others this word?” They unanimously stated that it’s a term of endearment, like Brother/Sister, Friend, etc. I asked, what’s the reason you don’t use those words?...No answer…I’ve read to them comments from those who’ve defended the usage and their desire to reverse the negativity…I’ve asked the question, “What’s the reason one doesn’t use the words, King, Queen, Lord or dare I say, god? These words are more powerful (in the positive) than Nigga, yes?”…Silence…

What’s also interesting to me, is that its usage is not relegated to the so called uneducated (those without college degrees). I’ve heard the word thrown around in the same matter amongst the so called educated, inclusive of Christians, Muslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses from the African American Community…I’ve also heard it used by Scholars of the African History/Culture, as well as my Brothers and Sisters from the Nation of Gods and Earths…The people of which I speak are quite accomplished within their careers.

Keeping in mind my premise of Sound Manifested to the Physical Dimension and the properties transferred through vibration, how great would my people be if we referred to ourselves as gods, ONLY?…Hmmm…I’m just sayin…One becomes what they label themselves, regardless the clothing in which they are packaged…

Psalms 82:5-7 of the King James Bible states ‘They know not, neither will they understand, they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course…I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High…But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.”

Check it…What would you think if Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. was known to have said, “What up my Nigga?”…Or if the Christ Y’Shua (Jesus) said, Peace and Greetings my Niggas…Kind of ill, huh?

What would happen if people were manifesting their god essence while being in harmony with the Great I AM…Being in harmony with the truth that all things are connected and instead of focusing on the belittling of self and others, where focused on the maximizing of self within Self. Simultaneously, focused upon the uplifting of others…Interesting concept, indeed…

Be mindful of the Title/Label which You place upon self, for it will become Sound Manifested and all of the things that come with it…

I wonder what the people of Wakanda would think about this type of discussion and the usage of this word as a term of endearment. I’m sure there are people reading this post and saying, “Yo, Homie, You do know that Wakanda doesn't exist, right?...To those, I would say, “Neither did Niggers/Niggas until the European created them…

The New Normal...Come again Selecta? (When Normal is the Problem)


Peace/Habari Gani/Greetings

I pray all is well with each of you and Happy European New Year. One may ask the reason I qualified the New Year in this manner. One, there are more than one new year recognitions. Two, I tend to pause when I say the greeting. I pause for it’s celebrated as the beginning of a year, yet it’s the Winter Cycle (when Nature is dormant or dead). Whereas, the Zodiac begins its new year during the Spring Cycle when Nature begins anew?!...I digress…Another conversation…

A few moons ago, I was having a conversation with one of my youngest Daughter’s teachers (her school has three levels (Pre-School, Pre-K and Kindergarten). Both of us enjoy comic books and the current Superhero movies that have been released the last few years. He (Mr. Jackson) is very critical of the story telling and more importantly, the imagery being presented. These areas have reduced his enjoyment of the movies. Specifically, his contention is how the Superheroes in these current movies argue with, and at times are insulting towards each other, whereas, the Villains are depicted in relatively perfect harmony with each other.

 It should be noted that Mr. Jackson wasn’t saying every movie, but there’s enough to cause this contention.

To bring it home, he referenced the fact that he teaches children between the ages three (3) to six (6) years old and can bear witness to the impression these images have on them. He specifically spoke of the Marvel Movies, Avengers Infinity War and Thor Ragnorok, where the heroes were constantly arguing amongst themselves and being insulting versus the Villains. While I was being amused by his passion, he closed with the Disney Movie, Aladdin, where the character stated, “It’s only wrong, if you get caught.”  He ended by stating that this has become the New Normal.

This is the point where he had my complete attention.

My next thoughts went to the movie soundtrack of one of my Youngest Daughter’s favorite movies, ‘Descendants 2’. There are two songs in particular that are of issue for me.

“Chillin like a Villain” song...

And if you want it, take it
And if you can't take it, break it
If you care about your health 
Seriously, you need to not be yourself

and “Ways to be Wicked”...

"Long live having some fun
We take what we want
There's so many ways to be wicked
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong
There's so many ways to be wicked

New –
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
-Different from one of the same category that has existed previously
-Beginning as the resumption or repetition of a previous act or thing

(Dictionary.com)
-Something that is new; new object, quality, condition, etc.:
-Orecent origin, production, purchase, etc.; having but lately come or been brought into being:

Normal
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
-According with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle
-Conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern

(Dictionary.com)
-Conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.

There were multiple definitions for both words, but for the purposes of this discussion, I chose the aforementioned.

In examining the definitions of these words, we can conclude that ‘New’ is other than (different than) its predecessor and ‘Normal’ is the ‘norm’ or ‘standard’ not having a deviation from it.

If I’m accurate, then how do we have a ‘New Normal’? Although grammatically, it’s accurate to categorize something as ‘The New Normal’, my Spirit questions this concept. Shouldn’t something new have its own identity? Or is this a way to do what some of my Brothas categorize as ‘Tricknology’? In this case, condition one to internalize a deviation of the norm and call it ‘Normal’ or ‘The New Normal’.

Some examples…In this Country (maybe others also), it’s become normal to have substandard public education (mis-education). It’s become normal for ‘Black’ and ‘Brown’ people to be mistreated by some police officers, along with receiving little to no justice from the legal system. Lastly, it’s become normal for women to be treated as objects to be dominated for pleasure and/or have employment inequities. Fortunately, there’s always been ‘pushback’ towards these deviations.

Speaking of conditioning, I heard a statistic on satellite radio that since January 2018, on average, one time per week, there’s been a school shooting. I have not researched this statistic for its validity, but the concept is nevertheless alarming…If accurate, the populous is being conditioned to this ‘New Normal’…

These examples can/have conditioned the populous that it’s normal for people to be mistreated due to the hue of their skin. In addition, violence (in this case manifested in school shootings) has been around since the beginning of time. It’s unfortunate, but what can you do?...

I call BS on those types of comments. The Norm is to be at Peace with self and with others…Achieved by being in harmony with the U-n-I-verse (notice the spelling)…The aforementioned examples are deviations of the Norm manifested to condition the populous to not be at peace with self within Self…Feel me?

Hard Pivot

Have you ever watched infants and animals?...Specifically, when they are around a person who consciously/subconsciously manifest ill intent?...Focusing on the infant, have you noticed how they may start crying and/or become agitated?...Prior to being mis-educated on how not to rely on feeling (& trusting) the vibration they feel from others, they are able to sense or read electromagnetic vibration or fields (the Normal)…What’s your point Homie?...Being conditioned to manifest separation from others and from our own Spirit/Mind/Body connection has become the new normal…I shouldn’t call it new for it has been this way since the rule or dominance of Western/Linear Ideology (Actually, I should modify that statement by saying it’s been this way since Man/Womb-Man allowed Ego to figuratively separate (battle for individuality) from the Essence and that was Waaaaayyyyy before the rule of the European)…The Euro/Linear Mindset is the manifestation of said separation…Children running/ruling ‘Wild’… the Highlander would say, “There can only be One”….

Remember to Breathe…Master Your Breath
