When will Jesus return? (Special post-Christmas editorial)

Two nights before “Christmas”, a good friend invited me to one of his church's pre-holiday services. Now, this person understands that I'm not a christian, but being that we've known each other for decades, I agreed to attend.

So a few minutes into the service, the white female pastor declared that she was gonna' give everyone in attendance a “gift”. Now, this gift she said, was associated with us winning a lottery—and then she expounded on reasons why this lottery could only be attained through being “saved”—meaning, you'd have to be a person who's accepted “Jesus Christ”.

Then, she pointedly told us about the concept of “original sin” and how Jesus died for us because of that. Additionally, she said no matter how foul our mouths are, or how many banks we've robbed, Jesus died so we'd be cleansed of our inherited sin(s).

Finally, she ended the service by reinforcing the point that regardless of how egregiously we live our lives, our acceptance of Jesus will grant us everlasting life. Mind you, about half of the people seated and listening to that service, were Black.

Now, I understand how whoever's reading this is probably gonna' think—well, here comes the part where he talks about that whole Black and white/ethnic thing again. But in all fairness, this pastor's audience was mostly comprised of white people. However, in terms of how this woman's message could affect churchgoers, I'd like to make 3 points as to how this pastor's sermon might strike a Black churchgoer differently from a white one, based on our disparate kinds of conditioning.

Point#3: In terms of this white woman telling me that she's gonna' give me a “gift”, and how this includes my winning a “lottery” that comes from being saved—it immediately takes my mind to stories of the mythological “white savior” that will rescue Black people from themselves. And mind you, a white person could be (and was) sitting right next to me—but because white fascism teaches Black people from birth that we're the most vile and undesirable kinds of people on the planet, it says to my mind, that I need some sort of “external” white force to save me, or us, from our inevitable demise, due to our moral obtuseness.

Point#2: Doubling down on my last point, the concept of “original sin” reinforces to me, as a Black person, in regards to the conditioning that we specifically get (especially in the american educational system) that EVERYTHING about me is WRONG.

EVERYTHING. 

And on a side note, I remember speaking to a mature brotha like myself about the dysfunction of Black people. And the gist of his argument was that Black people need to take “personal responsibility” for reconditioning ourselves out of these dysfucntions/mind-sets. And I agree—to an extent. Meaning, recently, I spoke to a young brotha, who I know is 18 years old, and he just happens to have that beautifully flawless, deeply melanated skin I love. But because of this, his friends make fun of him and say that he looks “African”.

And he retaliates aggressively when they do. Meaning somewhere, at his young age, he's gotten the message that he should be ashamed of his association with Africa. Now, here's my question/argument for the aforementioned mature brotha I was debating—how in the world, can we expect this young man to recondition himself out of his conscious/subconscious hatred of his “association” with Africa (i.e. his dark skin), when he doesn't even know it's a problem? Then I told the brotha, if and when that young brotha does realize, that hating his skin is a problem, then how does he recondition himself out of it?

Another personal example of this, was the time in my 9^th grade class when a beautiful young sista said to me, when we were alone: “Damn—God didn't give us nothin', he gave us big lips and nappy hair.”

Now, check that out—she said, “God” didn't give us nothing. So, she was conditioned to think, in reference to her looks and being Black, that her very God had forsaken her. And ya' know what I said to this young sista? Nothing. Cause I felt the same way.

Fortunately, decades later, I feel completely different—and I hope she does too.

Mind you, there is a remedy for this—and that is, we have to get those young minds into “Black Nationalist” homeschooling collectives, so they're not poisoned with self-hatred from this social order's “mis-educational” system.

Point#1: And the number one point I want to make is this: ever since I was in my pre-teens, I've gotten the message that when the white christ returns, he'll set the world right again.

Now, because of the conditioning I got, especially in catholic schools, I should be able to agree with this sentiment. Fortunately though, I have alternate information (cause I'm a practitioner of the Black Spiritual Sciences), and I understand one profound truth that you won't hear in 99.9% of the church services you'll attend. And that's this: In regards to Jesus Christ, what white fascists don't want you to know is...

JESUS NEVER LEFT.

Now, you're probably thinkin’, bruh—if you’re agreeing that Jesus is real and was here, then how could you possibly say he never left.

Here's how...

The Black Spiritual Sciences (The Orishas, Ifa, Yoruba, Santeria, Voudun/Voodoo, etc.) teach us that the “Krist” (KRST) energies associated with these practices, are different from a physical man named “Jesus Christ”, who white fascists made up.

Now, for the sake of brevity, I'll tell you that “Jesus Christ” was an invention of the ruler “Constantine”, when he convened the “Council of Nicea” in 325 A.D. And coincidentally, it was here that 318 Roman Catholic Bishops wrote, decreed and sanctified the institution that we now know as “christianity”. And please don't take my word for this—go do your own research and find out for yourself.

Moreover, in terms of fascist dogmas and institutions, I think these Bible verses pretty much tell you the agenda of white fascist christianity/freemasonry.

Ephesians 6:5-8:

5:”Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”

6: “Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.”

7: “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving THE LORD, NOT PEOPLE.”

8: “Because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.”

Now, I think that pretty much says it all.

So, and I'm talking exclusively to Black people, when our ancestors spoke of the “Krist/KRST”, they were speaking of energies to be accessed through the Spiritual Sciences I mentioned earlier.

And the bottom line to all these sciences is this: when you find a technique that combines your intention (prayer), with your subconscious mind, that's how you'll ultimately start to manipulate “spiritual” forces in your favor.

Then YOU will become the “CHRIST/KRST”.

Moreover, because our ingenious ancestors taught us that this particular energy is WITHIN you, it means you don't have to look for any external force to activate it—so you can save yourself.

So, while you imbibe in copious amounts of egg-nog and pumpkin pie on this holiday (holy-day), understand it's real meaning—and that is to heed our ancestors who're beseeching us to turn our KRST ENERGIES ON—so you can indeed live an abundant life that will not only benefit you, but the whole of the Black Diaspora.

And like Sam L. Jackson said in Spike Lee's movie: “Do the Right Thing”: “That's the double truth, Ruth.”

A solution to Black self-hatred...

Rhonda Byrne's book, 'The Secret', was released on November 26^th, 2006. In addition to this tome being a New York Times Bestseller, it's sold over 19 million copies and is translated into 46 different languages.

At the nucleus of this book's ideologies is the 'law of attraction' and how you can harness personal power through a simple three step process, which is encapsulated in the theorem: 'ask, believe and receive'.

The book basically says 'like attracts like'. Meaning, if you think angry thoughts and constantly feel angry, this will cause you to attract more events that will precipitate more anger; conversely, if you think and feel positively, you'll attract that same positivity back into your life.

Now the mantra, 'ask, believe and receive', has its roots in the christian bible. Matthew 21:22 says: 'And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive'.

This bestselling book's tenets were first featured in a documentary called 'The Secret', that came out in March of 2006. This doc consists of interviews that demonstrate the powers of the 'law of attraction', and how the mainstreamed masses can benefit from adopting this method for themselves.

And as we all know, this documentary and the publication of this book gained the attention of celebs like Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres and Larry King.

Now, the message of 'positive visualization' has been promoted in and through the 'New Age/New Thought' movement for the better part of four decades. And while I agree that positive visualization is critical to achieving any kind of goal, I also agree that Rhonda's book should really be called the 'Half-Secret', 'cause there's a critical part of this process that is purposely being kept from the mainstreamed masses...especially the masses of Black people. And let me explain what I'm talking about...

Ever since I can remember, I'd been influenced by Hollywood movies and white western culture(s) period, to revile the Black Spiritual Sciences of The Orishas, Yoruba, Ifa, and especially Voodoo/Vudun.

I can remember seeing trailers for movies like, 'The Serpent and the Rainbow', where these odiously evil Black Voodoo priests/priestess' would cast spells over benevolent white missionaries/anthropologists trying to study and/or save the swarthy and savage masses of Black people. What I found out later, is that those white 'missionaries' in real life, were actually the first and most finessed wave of white colonizers who planned to take over the country/continent. I also found out two other facts: one, the first and probably greatest tool these white colonizers used to win over the Black populous was religion, and two, the term the 'serpent and the rainbow', actually referred to 'Kundalini' energies 'snaking' their way up the spine and through the 'colored' Chakra system(s) of the body. Meaning, it was talking about our people empowering themselves by means of the Black Spiritual Sciences.

And it's no coincidence that the Haitian revolution, that started with a Voodoo/Vudun ceremony (google 'Boukman's prayer' sometimes), is what gave this group of Black people the power to win their fight over Napoleon's army when they were outnumbered and outgunned.

Now, at the core of the Black Spiritual Sciences is this paradigm: while it's vitally important to visualize whatever outcome or goal your trying to achieve, what makes this process MOST powerful, is when you combine your goal's intention with the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND!

I liken 'The Secret' to religious prayer, in so much as, in my experience prayer does 'change things', but more often than not, it fails more than it succeeds. Now, I'm not saying this is EVERYONE'S experience, but it has been mine. And I'm saying, even when I prayed hardest, it seems what I wanted would only manifest a third of the time. So much so, that I stopped praying altogether.

Now, for a good while I've been telling the readers of this Blog that it's imperative for Black people to realize how we've been conditioned to hate ourselves more than any other kind of person on the planet, 'cause we have the most genetic power to breed our oppressors (i.e. white people) out of existence.

I've also expounded on how this resulted in our people being taught our ancestors were nothing but slaves, and how no other ethnic group gets taught this, and how white fascist techniques created the deep schism between the Black man and woman, and how this ultimately resulted in its desired goal, which is the nearly complete destruction of the Black 'nuclear' family.

But as of late, the sentiment I've been hearing from readers is, bruh...we got that message! Now how do we get out of this self-hatred?

So that's what I'll address in this post, by expounding on a meditative technique I've used to work towards that goal.

Now, I want you to notice that this post is called 'A solution to Black self-hatred', not 'The solution to Black self-hatred'. I would never be so pompous as to tell anyone I have the definitive solution to any problem, let alone that of how our Diaspora can pluck the self-hatred conditioned into us, out of us. So it's imperative you understand that this is a meditative technique I've used, to help me rid myself of the conditioning I received, unknowingly, in the american educational system. In other words, this is not a 'cure-all' or a universal remedy to this problem.

Now with that said, let's get into this technique...

What you should start off with is a candle, a quiet and darkened room, and a comfortable chair to sit in.

Now, the candle will serve as your focal point. This is going to be the instrument that basically gets you into your subconscious. And let me add, for those who don't have a candle handy, if you're not ready to purchase one, you can use some other household object as your mental focus point. For instance, you could use a 'night light' instead of a candle, or a common figurine of some sort. But, it's preferable that you use something 'illuminated', especially if you're going to sit in a darkened room. Now, you also don't absolutely have to sit in a darkened room either, but it makes the process of getting into your subconscious a whole lot easier.

Now, I've written about another technique I used to get into my subconscious on this Blog, but that was a bit too labor intensive for me to do consistently; so this is one I've created that's a bit more user-friendly, and lends itself more to being done daily. Also, whereas the last technique I wrote about took upwards of a half an hour to complete, this one can be done in ten to fifteen minutes.

And let me say again, this technique is to be done daily for the results you're wanting to achieve.

So let's say you have the candle and everything else you need for this technique. What you should do is light the candle, dim the lights and get yourself comfortable in front of the candle's flame. Now, you can sit, kneel or stand in front of the candle...whichever works best for you, as long as you can gaze easily into its flame. What I don't suggest is lying down in front of your candle, for the obvious reason of not letting it put you to sleep.

Allow yourself to gaze deeply into the candle's flame for at least three to four minutes. Watch the flame's slow flickering dance, while you lower your shoulders, relax your body and clear your thoughts. Now you should start repeating this inducing suggestion quietly in your mind, or out loud: “I am going deep into my subconscious, soon I will be in hypnosis.”

Relax every part of your body while you state this mantra. Feel a warm sensation washing down your arms, torso, legs and feet, while the whole of your body snuggles back in your chair. Keep repeating the suggestion.

What your trying to do is lower or lessen the conscious mind, so you can access the subconscious. Now, initially, you might experience a lot of chatter in your mind. This might range from thoughts about the day's events, to troubles you've been dealing with lately. Understand, this is just the conscious mind doing its job of protecting the subconscious. Remember, your subconscious keeps your heart beating and your lungs breathing, so the conscious mind is gonna' try to run some necessary interference. Just let these thoughts melt away and keep your mental focus on the candle's flame and your suggestion.

You'll know more or less when you're in or near your subconscious when you consciousness begins feeling a bit altered or fuzzy, kinda' like when you're driving down a highway and you stare at its white line. At some point, your conscious mind is still aware of what's going on, but you feel a bit of a 'buzzing' sensation, and reality starts feeling a bit suspended. Like when you've arrived at work, having driven for an hour, but you're unable to remember the majority of the journey.

Now, the more time you spend with this part of the process, the deeper you can impact the subconscious mind. So if you planned to spend eight of your fifteen minutes with the inducing suggestion, and want to extend it to ten or twelve, do so.

When you start feeling this 'altered' sensation, or the sensation of 'suspended reality', then you can start repeating the mantra you want to program into your subconscious.

Now, if your aim is to erase your Black self-hatred, I think the best place to start, is by getting rid of your feelings of inferiority around white people. So, in regards to them, I'd simply word my mantra like this: “I DO NOT feel inferior to white people.” And you can say this either to yourself or out loud.

While gazing into the candle's flame, repeat this mantra slowly, remembering once again to emphasize the words 'DO NOT'. Try to repeat this mantra as many times as you can in a seven minute period, and like I said before, if you want to go longer, by all means do.

Remember, your goal is to create a union between the candle's flame and your mantra. This is basically the physical representation of your intention connecting with your subconscious.

Also, a frequent reader of this Blog asked me, if you're feeling less confident around 'non-Black' people, then how should you go about wording a mantra that deals specifically with that?

I'd first go about identifying the ethnic group I want to target. For instance, if I found myself feeling less confident around asians, I'd word my conditioning mantra like the one above, and say: “I DO NOT feel inferior to asians.”

Now, when saying this, again, it's imperative you emphasize the words 'DO NOT'! For obvious reasons.

And the reason you'd say “I DO NOT feel inferior to asians.” As opposed to: “asians are NOT superior to me.”; is because the pronoun 'I' penetrates the subconscious more deeply than 'me' does, or would. And once again, I'll reiterate, this is the technique that's worked for me. Results can and do vary from person to person.

After you've created a synergy with your candle's flame and your mantra, and you feel you're ready to end the meditative session, you should stop repeating your mantra and breath several slow, deep breaths, before repeating a concluding suggestion. And that concluding suggestion is: “I am speaking to my subconscious mind, you will retain this command.” This further aids your mantra's ability to embed itself in your subconscious. Repeat the concluding suggestion slowly at least seven times. Then, give yourself over to your consciousness returning to its place at the front of your awareness. After a few deep breaths, you should be back at your regular consciousness. Then you're done.

You should start seeing, or feeling, the results of these daily exercises, in a matter of two weeks. After these two weeks, when you find yourself in the company of white people, you should notice that you're feeling more self-assured and self-possessed around them. The same applies to any 'non-Black' ethnic group your mantra is targeting.

I'd also like to remind people of this point emphatically: THIS IS WORK!!

Please don't do this once for fifteen minutes and tell me nothing happened, 'cause this ain't that kinda' party!

Understand that twenty plus years of conditioning, by the amercan educational system especially, to hate yourself and everyone who looks like you IS NOT GONNA' GO AWAY IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!

So you should realize that this is a marathon, not a sprint. You must dedicate yourself to this daily and over the long haul, if you're gonna' see any measured and lasting results.

Also, I need you to understand that after you do see results, and you've been doing these exercises for 6 months to a year, you may find that your mantras are becoming less effective. This happens when your psyche gets used to your mantra. An analogy I liken this to is what someone experiences when they start drinking alcohol. When you first start drinking, you might get an inebriated 'buzz' after two drinks, but after 6 months of drinking those two drinks, you'll find you need four or five, to get to the 'buzz' you first got with two.

When this happens, you'll have to 'double-up' on your meditation time, or your mantra's repetitions, to get the same results you've gotten before. So you see, this not only takes diligence, but continued maintenance.

But I tell you this, my life has been enriched beyond measure with this technique. I'm performing feats with my mind that I once thought were impossible...at least for me.

Also, this is just a technique I've come up with to effect change in my life. There are multitudinous ways of getting into your subconscious mind effectively. I encourage you to peruse a book store's shelves, and find some tomes that'll list more techniques that might work best for you.

But one thing that's truly lovely about this technique is you can tailor-make your mantras to help you with ANY situation. Remember, as long as you can come up with an effective mantra, and an effective way to connect your mantra's intention to your subconscious, NOT EVEN THE SKY'S THE LIMIT!

And best of all, what this also does, is get you out of the impotent orthodoxies of 'positive visualization' and simple 'prayers'.

So now that you know the fundamentals of this technique, all that's left to do is to get to work.

What I'll also mention, is techniques like this one, in my opinion, are really what makes being in the Black 'conscious' community worth while. Now don't get me wrong, having esoteric knowledge of ancient Black people is scintillating, but THESE EXERCISES ARE THE SUREST MEANS OF EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITY AND OURSELVES INDIVIDUALLY! At least in my estimation.

And like I've learned last year, when people refer to 'Black majik' or 'Dark-Side majik', what they're talking about is working with the subconscious mind...the 'darker side' of ourselves. This is not only where our ancestors went to acquire power, but these techniques are what our ingenious ancient Black mothers and fathers left here FOR US!!

So let's be like our ancestors and get with the 'DARK-SIDE'!

The SUBCONSCIOUS MIND Y'ALL...THAT'S WHAT'S UP!!!!

Dr. Phil Valentine and what the Black christian and 'conscious' communities have in common...

I remember back in late 2013, one of my favorite metaphysicians, Dr. Phil Valentine, was slated to have one of his lectures in Harlem, NYC. Unfortunately, due to my work schedule and other commitments, I didn't attend this lecture and regretted it afterwards.

Fast forward to 2015. Recently, I was poring over YouTube videos, and came across a recording of the Dr. Phil lecture I missed in 2013, so I clicked on to watch it.

Now, to my surprise, this lecture was about proving who Barack Obama really is. I say this was surprising 'cause Dr. Phil usually deals with the occult practices of our ancestor's Black spiritual sciences. He's usually waxing philosophic about themes like sacred geometry and how whites have stolen our spiritual sciences and given us religion so the Black Diaspora will be less powerful. But since it was Dr. Phil, I watched the lecture anyway. When I finished viewing his speech, I was actually glad I didn't attend his lecture. Here's why...

Now, Dr. Phil went through the paces of showing how Barack Obama is tied to white supremacist freemasons, no surprise there; but he also exposed how Barack's original name was Bari Malik Shabazz, who was born in New York City instead of Hawaii, and how 'Barack' has several social security numbers associated with his name. But truthfully, I understood who Barack had to be to even get his position, so again, that stuff wasn't a surprise to me. Beyond this, Dr. Phil said he'd been contacted by white 'birthers' who wanted to discredit Barack and said he'd went on a radio show with one to bring out some of the evidence he found. The reason I thought that was a mistake was white people don't really want to know the truth about Barack's past, they just want him discredited because he's Black. Period. I notice none of the 'birthers' ever acknowledge the fact that John McCain was not born in america. John McCain was born in Panama! Don't take my word for this, go look it up. Now, what they'd come back with is the fact that McCain was born on an 'american' army base in Panama, so technically, this makes him american. But could you imagine if this was the case with Barack? These gun-toting, survivalist inbreds would wage a full-blown revolution in this country. Then, the lecture took an even more dastardly turn.

About mid-way into the lecture, Dr. Phil read from one of his books, 'The wounded womb', and basically said that 'jews don't like white people'. He also went on to say, some pale-skinned degenerate calling himself a jew, told him how their main objective is to have their 'race' proclaimed as kings of this earth and how they wanna' make the 'gentiles', all the rest of us, their slaves.

Now, let's get a few things clear right off the bat: 'judaism' isn't an 'ethnicity' or a 'race', it's a 'religion'...PERIOD! Meaning, NO ONE IS BORN JEWISH!

Every Black person reading this needs to have a crystal clear understanding of that fact. Now, there are certain facial features or traits we attribute to jews, like dark hair and eyes, but ultimately, these are WHITE PEOPLE WHO'VE ADOPTED THE JEWISH RELIGION...PERIOD! So the statement that 'jews' don't like white people is just meant to confuse the Black Diaspora, because in this case, the JEWS ARE WHITE PEOPLE. 

Every white jew can trace their ancestry back to some country in europe; their 'religious' home though, they will attribute to isreal. But another thing they don't want Black people to know is that isreal IS IN AFRICA. This is where the religion began and this is the continent isreal is connected to. Some people say isreal is connected to 'middle eastern asia' which is geographically incorrect. Firstly, if you look at a map, you'll see isreal is clearly tethered to Egypt, which of course, is also in Africa. And what whites call the 'middle east' is really 'southern asia'; and this is where whites claim isreal really is. Funny though, I've never heard a jew refer to themselves as 'asian', have you? Isreal sits on the tectonic plate of the continent of Africa, but don't tell a white jew that unless you're ready for an argument. Even the titles jew and judaism come from one of our ancient Black African deities 'Djehuty'; and europeans just abbreviated this name to call themselves 'jews'. Truthfully, half of them can't even rightfully call themselves jews because the majority of them don't practice their religion. They just give themselves this title.

Now, the sentiment that jews don't like whites coming from someone like Dr. Phil, a Black 'master teaching' metaphysician, makes the message all the more dangerous. Now their might be some tribal or 'class' issues between jews and other white people, but that all goes away when these two groups of whites continually gang up against the Black Diaspora. That's why my 'religion', if I have one at all, will always be Black Nationalism. 'Cause this does away with any petty tribal or 'clique-ish' in-fighting that might arise between Black people with differing ideologies. And what makes Black Nationalism exquisitely dope is any Black person can keep whatever religion or ideology they're tethered to, just so long as under the auspices of Black Nationalism, we put those nonsensical differences aside when it comes time to fight off whites, asians, or any other kind of non-Black people.

Now, as I continued listening to the lecture, it got even more insidious. Because Dr. Phil stated that the elite coteries of jews, in the interest of some sort of ethnic harmony, would forbid the mating of whites with other whites. So their greatest and most dangerous enemy, the 'white man', could be bred out of existence. So, what Dr. Phil specified, according to this jew, is they will force Black men and women to mate with white men and women in an effort to rid the planet of the pure-bred 'white' menance. 

Now, before I respond to the last point, I want everyone reading this to know that Dr. Phil began his lecture with a ritual blessing ceremony. He recited a blessing in the Medu Netcher (our people's original language) and at the end of that, he asked the audience to recite the words 'Ma'at Kheru'; this roughly translates to the term 'truer voice'. Now, I do know a few words of the Medu Netcher myself, and I know the word or diety 'Ma'at', not only deals with truth and justice, but also 'balance'. And what viewing this lecture told me was for far too long I've been hard on the Black christian community, and not hard enough on the Black 'conscious' community. And I think the Black conscious community may be just as bad as the christians. Here's why...

The majority of Black people have christianity forced or foisted on them in childhood as the only way to attain any kind of moral compass. But when we get older and can decide for ourselves where we'll invest our energies, as far as spiritual matters go, a lot of us turn to the Black conscious community looking for some sort of ethical alternative. I know I did. And if you don't have the intellectual curiosity, or the time, to research and investigate the info. you're getting out of the conscious community, you'll take what they say, internalize it, and live your life accordingly. Case in point, the aforementioned statement Dr. Phil made saying that elite jews are going to manipulate whites into mating with Blacks, so whites could be bred out of existence. Now, if you were to take this statement at face value, it could make some sense. But if you filter this statement through your melanated mind, you'll see this is a trick white jews are playing on 'conscious' Black folks. 'Cause who the white jews will really be getting rid of by manipulating Blacks and whites to mate with each other is the PURE-BRED BLACK MAN AND WOMAN; WHO CAN BREED BOTH WHITES AND WHITE JEWS OUT OF EXISTENCE! See what I'm saying.

There was another instance recently, where I was watching a lecture given by the occultist teacher 'Brother Panic'. Now, this brotha's teaching style deals with the use of too much profanity for my tastes, but, his methods are right on and righteous. I've used one of the divinations I've learned from him quite extensively and it's helped me a lot. But in this particular lecture of his, he was talking about people signing up for his classes. He said he had a reasonable payment plan for those who might be hurting financially; then he said, one of the payment methods he discontinued was one where he collected the course fee after his lectures. He then said he had to stop that because, and I quote: “You know...nig@ers”. There was another instance where a very knowledgeable brotha named 'Tariq Nasheed' was speaking at a radio show, and when someone called in and said a fight broke out amongst some 'conscious' brothas, Tariq said, “Yeah, I heard they were acting 'nig@erish'. Now, brotha Tariq is also very knowledgeable and created a very powerful series of documentaries called 'Hidden Colors', that talks about the Black roots of every ethnicity and culture.

Now, if you've looked at this Blog for a hot minute, you know I've written posts about the origins of the 'n-word'; and for the record, this word comes from our original language I mentioned previously, the Medu Netcher. In that language the word 'Negus' means 'King'. It was a title. Coincidentally, this is where the english get the word 'Regis' from, which also means king, as in the words 'registrar' or 'registration'. The word 'Nagas' was the name of a ruling ancient Black tribe in asia, and that very word means divine. Now, the words Negus and Nagas is where the river 'Niger' got its name from. And when the pale-skinned degenerates we know as white people came to take us from our home land, especially around the areas of the Niger river; when they got us to the shores of ameica, they would crook their fingers and say to us, “Come over here you 'Niger'.” And from this use of the word Niger, came the white deragatory term 'nig@er'.

But back to my point about brothas 'Panic' and 'Tariq'; now, I understand they know the history of this word, but for the Black person just getting this information or looking to these brothas for some kind of alternate spiritual guidance or ethics, what are they to think? Know that when you as a Black person hear the 'n-word' used in a context of negative behaviors exhibited by our people, this triggers your white supremacist induced hatred for not only yourself, but your people too. And I'm sure they understand this but they're not doing anything about it. They must also know or should acknowledge, how Black people are made to hate themselves more than any other kind of person on the planet.

But getting back to Dr. Phil's lecture, after he finished, he opened up the floor for questions. One Black woman asked how could we survive the rise of jewish power and the next world war as he explained in the latter part of his lecture. And Dr. Phil said, “Well, that will take some organization...it has to do with coming together in coalitions...” Which means that Dr. Phil and I have come to the same conclusion, that being, what we need and the only thing that will save us, is UNITY!!

Here's the problem though, a people can't have any unity if they hate themselves and each other. And this is why I talk ad nauseum about meditation and reconditioning the subconscious mind, 'CAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA' GET OUT OF OUR WHITE FASCIST INDUCED SELF-HATRED!!

AND IF OLDER BLACK FOLKS LIKE MY GENERATION ARE TOO FAR GONE TO REALLY CHANGE, LET'S AT LEAST TEACH THIS TO THE NEXT GENERATION, SO THEY MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE AT CHANGING THEIR LIVES COLLECTIVELY!!

Now, the last picture on the right of my triptyched header, is one of a 'conscious' brotha who puts on a lot of conscious 'debates' and his name is Sa Neter. He is the leader of a think tank called the 'House of Konsciousness'. And in this think tank you have every stripe of conscious Black brotha, you've got Black Moors, Muslims, Black Isrealites, Atheists, etc. Only this organization is just like the Black church, whereas they have so many denominations and dueling ideologies, that they never get together to get anything done. And you also need to know that at the head of every religious or conscious faction I've named, is a group of white supremacist freemasons running the show. Sa Neter's one himself.

My final point is this people, CHRISTIANITY WON'T SAVE US, BLACK JUDAISM WON'T SAVE US, THE BLACK 'CONSCIOUS' COMMUNITY WON'T SAVE US, BEING A BLACK MUSLIM WON'T SAVE US, THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SAVE US IS BLACK UNITY!!

And again, you don't have to give up your current religion or philosophies to be for Black unity, you just have to understand one thing: when a group of us get together, we should drop ALL our petty differences so we can fight off any force attacking us.

This brothas and sistas, is our ONLY salvation.

Christian concentration camps and a reviled retreat...

On July first of this year, while conversing with a co-worker of mine, I was introduced to the idea of spending some time at a 'spiritual retreat' while speaking about how I'd acquired some vacation time on my job. 

When I told my co-worker that I wasn't religious, but a practitioner of the Black Spiritual Sciences, this person stated how there would be several persons there representing the practices of Yoruba, The Orishas and even a Voudun/Voodoo Babaalau; which is basically a leader of ceremonies in the Black Spiritual Sciences, something like what a priest is to christianity. So I told this person I'd think about it after they gave me a brochure about the 'retreat'.

As I read the brochure, the first thing I noticed was how this retreat would take place in the Virgin Islands; and I have family there, so that was a plus. But even before this fact, I saw the retreat facility was more of an island resort than something resembling a monastery. This was another selling point. The brochure also detailed how all faiths would be represented, up to and including the Black Spiritual Sciences. But there was one caveat. The brochure said in order to keep the ambiance of the retreat more spiritually-minded, they wanted participants to check in their cell phones, laptops and other electronic devices, so there'd be less diversions in our quests for a more intimate spiritual experience. 

Just then I said no; flat out. I was hell-bent (no pun intended) on always having my laptop with me. I hate to admit this, but my computer has almost become like an appendage...I'm completely tethered to it. But recently, I'd been wrestling with the issue of my possibly being too obsessive with my laptop and this Blog; 'cause one thing I know for sure is too much of anything is not good for you. And I did want to know more about the Black Spiritual Sciences, being that I've only an intermediate knowledge of them. I'd done some book reading and video watching on the topic, but I'd never been in a consistently immersive fellowship experience with other like-minded people who practiced these sciences.

I spoke to the co-worker who originally gave me the brochure and told them about my issues with a possible obsession with my computer and Blog. They told me this would be the perfect venue to confront it in; they also assured me about how strict the retreat facility's administrators are about giving out a central emergency number that I could give to loved ones in case they needed to contact me quickly. Since we wouldn't have our cell phones, this person understood my concerns should I need to contact my family for any reason. They also said they'd witnessed instances were people had emergency calls in the past and the resort manager themselves would personally relay the caller's message to them. 

It seemed all my issues with the 'retreat' had been resolved and since it would last two weeks and I had a month of vacation time due me, I agreed to go. 

The flight over to the Virgin Islands was pretty uneventful and pleasant, and after we touched down safely in the V.I.(Virgin Islands), we were chauffeured to the resort. After we got to the gates of the compound, they swung open and revealed a complex replete with tennis and racket ball courts, a small golf course, a full gym, and with V.I.'s vistas as a backdrop, this place looked like what you'd see on a commercial promoting some tropical getaway. I nodded my head in approval and checked into my room. 

Opening the door to my suite soothed my soul even more. The tan colored carpet seemed to be double cushioned, so every step felt like I was being buoyed on a bed of pillows; the room also had a set of well cushioned, buttery golden sofas and a nearly wall-sized flat screen TV. When I looked into the bedroom, the king size bed glowed beneath rays of sunlight coming through beige curtains that swayed in a breeze coming off the ocean; and my glances at the room's brochure said the bed's comforter and sheets were made of silk and Egyptian cotton. I strode into the bathroom to find a walk-in shower replete with several spray jets, a jacuzzi and a full vanity. 

After I got some cloths out onto my bed I went into the living room and pulled back the curtains of the main windows. What stared back at me were powdery golden sands rubbed up against aqua blue translucent waters, palm trees, tanning enthusiasts slathering assorted lotions on themselves, bobbing mini yachts and jet skiers having their way with the deeper waters. It was one of those moments where you just had to be happy with life. 

Moments later, the door bell rang. I wondered who it could be before a female voice called out she was one of the hotel's administrators. I peered through the door's peep hole and swung it open. I wasn't expecting a woman this attractive to be one of the resort's administrators. She was a sista I'd get to know as Kathy. And Kathy had the high grade melanated, deep chocolate, luminous skin I love on a woman. She also had almond shaped eyes, a gorgeous body, the perfect height and weight I like, and I don't know what fragrance she wore, but it seemed to be some floral mix of lilac and lavender; whatever it was, it worked.  

She offered me a brochure about the spiritual seminars that would take place and which areas of the resort they'd be in. She also told me she was there to collect my laptop and cell phone. Then it made sense, they send a physically beguiling woman to disarm the patrons of their most valued possessions. She assured me they'd be placed in safe storage and told me later there would be a showing of the vault where these items would be placed for all guests. I told her I definitely would attend and in a split second I nearly forgot this was a spiritual retreat, 'cause I straight up wanted to ask this woman out. That was until I saw a glistening rock on her left-handed wedding band finger. I handed over my phone and laptop, we exchanged good evenings and she made her exit. I went to the living room, turned on the TV and wondered what lucky man had her for a wife.   

Now, the brochure said one wake up call would be provided for the 9 A.M. seminars, the first of these would be at 8 A.M. I'm used to early morning wake ups, so this wasn't a problem; that was until I got my first wake up call for this seminar at 6 A.M. I told the person calling how it was inappropriate and downright rude to call me that early, it's not like I don't know how to use an alarm clock. She apologized and hung up. The next wake up call came at 7 A.M. After I asked who it was, I asked to speak with the manager. The manager gave me some silly story about how these calls were mandatory and detailed  in their brochure; to which I reminded him how the brochure said one call would be made. Then I told him this was harassment and I didn't want anymore wake up calls. They stopped. 

Now, being that I was tired from an interrupted night of sleep, I was not in the best spirits for the morning seminar. Again, there were three to choose from, and that morning I chose the Yoruba mysticism lecture. The auditoriums resembled any generic hotel meeting room; several austere and angular metal framed chairs, one long mahogany desk, one podium, one mic and a refreshment table off to the side replete with a 'continental' breakfast; all carbs, muffins, toast, tea and coffee. Fortunately, I had a breakfast ordered up to my room, 'cause I woke up in a quasi-bitter mood from all those wake up calls. 

Much to my suprise, the Yoruba seminar started out well. The forty-something Black gentlemen presiding over the ceremony started out with a libation pouring to the ancestors which set the spiritual tone of the room correctly; there were some inbreds scattered about the room, but otherwise, I didn't have much to complain about. After that, the emcee told about the origins of Yoruba beginning in southwest Nigeria and adjacent parts of Benin and Togo; and he explained how the deity Olodumare was its divine creator of all existence, these facts I knew, but it was nice to hear them in that setting. After several minutes the speaker said how analogous these concepts were to christianity and kept his diatribe on those points. I got so pissed, I walked out. Not only was I suffering from a lack of r.e.m. sleep, but I thought I'd just got 'bait and switched' where the promise of a talk on the Black Spiritual Sciences were concerned.  

Minutes later, Kathy showed up in the corridor beside my room's door. She sauntered over to me and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you enjoy the Yoruba seminar?" That's when I knew I was being watched. I asked Kathy,"How'd you know I just came out of the Yoruba seminar?" She said, as one of the facility's administrator's it was her job to see I was having a good time. The look up in her eyes told me this was a come on. This weirded me out, considering she was married; or was at least wearing a wedding ring. I told her I should have a better experience at the next one. I talked mid-stride while I headed for my door. Listen, I'm as lustful as the next guy, but one thing I won't do is take part in dismantling a marriage; especially where our people are concerned. Now, I don't know if Kathy's married to a Black man or not, quite frankly, I think she's probably married to some inbred who thinks it's cool to have an 'open' marriage; but again, on the off chance she's with a brotha, I'm not gonna' be the one to do something to harm that. If you've read my Blog for any amount of time, you'll see I don't get down like that. So after I got into my room, I locked the door and sank into the sofa; and I dearly missed and needed to be on my laptop. Then I remembered it was in the resort's vault. I then thought, maybe it was good I didn't have my computer as a crutch to fall back on. I started thinking about Ben and Jerry's ice cream and Kathy's come on. I decided to indulge in some New York Super Fudge Chunk before tuning into something salacious on Netflix.    

The next day I got another 6 A.M. wake up call for the 9 A.M. seminar; then I got another at 7 A.M. After speaking to the desk clerk, I once again spoke to a supervisor and told them, if this continued I'd ask for my money back and leave the resort. After this they stopped completely. 

I arrived at the morning's seminar entitled 'Reflections and revelations on the science of Voodoo'. I thought, alright, here we go, this is gonna' be powerfully dope. I think I was the first person in the auditorium, but after a few moments other people began to trickle in. Oddly enough, a white woman sat right next to me. Inwardly, I rolled my eyes. It seems I'm a magnet for the kind of white women I call 'triple O's'; they're either overweight, oversexed, old or all three. This one seemed to subscribe to the first two 'O's', but looked to be in her mid-thirties. I sensed her eyes on me, but I wasn't about to return her stare or even say hello. You see, these women think the easiest man they can get is a Black one, so they feel all they have to do is establish some sort of close proximity to us and we're suppose to melt or something. 

One thing I have to say about this is, I shamefully admit, I get a perverse thrill from making a white woman seem unwanted by me. What I encounter on damn near a daily basis, is a white woman who walks towards me with her head down 'cause she doesn't want me thinking she's attracted to me. But what I always do is go out of my way to keep my eyes looking forward. 'Cause nine times out of ten, just as this white woman is about to pass me, she'll look at me; then when she sees I'm not looking at her, she'll don this perplexed look on her face, like, why aren't you looking at me? I am a white woman after all.

I SO GET OFF ON THIS!! 

Again, I do shamefully admit, I love making white women feel less attractive; or I at least like letting them know, I think their pale skin is repulsive; I love to non-verbally tell them, keep walking you thin lipped, flat-assed, stringy haired degenerate. But that's just me. 

Back to the seminar...A dark-skinned brotha in a dashiki came to the podium and I was like, alright bruh, come wit' it!

He also started out pouring libations, and went through a litany of outstanding ancestors; we paid homage to Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba, Amazon Queen Califia (This is the Black woman who California is named after), Harriet Tubman, Nobel Drew Ali, Tupac Shakur, Steven Biko, Kwame Nkruma, Dr. Huey P. Newton, Elijah Muhammad, etc. 

The brotha then went on to say the word Voudun or Voodoo actually means 'spirit' or 'deity' in the Fon language of the ancient African kingdom of Dahomey, which is now Benin. Minutes after, he spoke on how a Voodoo ceremony preceded the Haitian revolution and gave our people the spiritual and physical might to overthrow Napoleon's occupying forces, even though we were out-manned and out-gunned; and how to this day, this revolution is credited with being the only successful slave revolt in world history. Then I experienced a bout of deja vu as this guy started talking about how this religion parallels christianity, and he started expounding on this point. 

That's when I knew this was a set up. What this resort was doing was converting, or at least trying to convert, every person who believed in something other than white supremacist christianity into adopting their religion. 

Once again, I got up and left the auditorium. I swung open the door to my room and went for the pint-sized remainder of my Ben and Jerry's ice cream, when I got a phone call. 

And lo and behold, it was Kathy. She asked me to meet her in her office. I agreed 'cause I wanted to curse her out behind having me at the resort under false pretenses. As I left my room and traveled towards the elevator, my co-worker who got me to come to the retreat popped up. The first thing this person said was, "I'm sorry you're not liking the seminars." Right then I knew this person and Kathy were working together. Mind you, this was a person I'd worked with for the better part of a decade; we'd been to each others homes, met members of each others families and I genuinely considered this person a friend. Well, that was over. I abruptly told them I had an emergency call and brushed by them. 

When I got to Kathy's office, before I could get a word in, she started asking me if I'd ever considered joining the priesthood; then she started in on how lucrative a career it could be, unbeknownst to the public. When I told her I had absolutely no interest in this, she told me I fit the profile of someone who'd do well in the priesthood. I knew this meant my co-worker had offered me up as some sort of prospect for a priestly 'training camp', and that's what this experience was and would be. I immediately went to Kathy's supervisor and asked for my money back. 

After the resort's executive administrators obliged, I called a cab and got promptly off the complex and into a regular hotel. I enjoyed the remainder of my stay in the V.I. at a similar resort, minus the force fed overtones of white supremacist christianity and I got to see my family there as well.

Needless to say, I stopped talking to this co-worker completely. And to this day, this person is perplexed as to why I'm mad. 

You see, the christian priesthood is in such dire financial straits, that they've been forced to employ these kind of recruitment techniques. Because their priests have been exposed for the pedophiles and generally mentally unstable posers they really are; so no one in their right minds, or at least no young person in their right minds, wants to be associated with them anymore. 

And thinking back on it, I remembered telling my co-worker how I was fond of darker skinned women, that's probably why Kathy was recruited to 'attend' to me; and when that didn't work, they probably sicced one of their resident white women on me, this was the overweight and oversexed woman who sat next to me during the Voodoo seminar. And if you're thinking, yo MontUHURU, you're just trippin', I'd say I wouldn't put this past them if they were that hard up for Black men to go into the priesthood. 

Think about it, why wouldn't they want more Black men in the priesthood, firstly, it would add some cool points to the papacy; if for no other reason that we wouldn't hold stuffy and technical prayer services, we'd make our message relevant and practical for people. And, if for no other reason, the mainstream public knows that the overwhelming majority of Black men don't practice pedophilia. They also know, we're less likely to be homosexuals, 'cause our melanated minds won't allow us to indulge in these deviant sex acts so easily. So, it would be a win-win for white supremacists and their main religion. 

Only problem is, I'm not selling out to white supremacy; that's not me. They're gonna' have to look elsewhere for a token. 

And in the immortal words of Sam Jackson in the movie 'Do the right thing', "That's the triple truth, Ruth."
