If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Relating

Human animals are part of the natural world and the natural world is part of us. Humans and the rest of the natural world have physical and spiritual aspects. In that regard, we are one and the same. In many instances, the rest of the natural world also has emotional and mental aspects. In that regard, we are similar. This is no surprise since we are created by the same Spirit who has put replications and likenesses throughout the Universe.

The most significant place this occurs is in our spiritual genetics. All that is from the same Creator – the same rootstock - also shares spiritual genetics. Human animals and the rest of the natural world are offspring of the same Parent. No matter how different it may seem we are, from the rest of the natural world, we are still siblings. Humans are the younger. The rest of the natural world is the elder. This is why the examples, instructions and advices of the natural world as our context for the meaning of life & existence must be heeded if we want knowledge of self. The Earthly natural world falls in line with the patterns and behavior of our oldest sibling - the Universal natural world.

Communing

Humans must communicate with their two older siblings in order to benefit from the wisdom of natural laws and orders. It is ordained for that which has been taught to seek and teach, and for that which needs awareness to seek and listen. Performing these duties requires communication.

The only way to communicate is to use the same language. This has already been provided by the spirit we have in common. This spirit is the primary universal language. It is our natural language.

When we are using spirit to communicate, we are communing. We are connecting to spiritual energy, which serves as spiritual nutrition. Communing can be silent or not and with movement or not. Communing is a process of tuning in and tuning out.

Like older siblings should, the natural world is always trying to communicate with the younger. When humans allow time to respectfully observe, interact with, investigate, experiment, wonder about or be in the midst of any portion of the natural world we are responding and have now entered into dialogue. Our respectful actions send spiritual energy to what we are communicating with and in return we receive things like calmness, relaxation, peacefulness, awe, understanding and inspiration. Encoding of our spiritual genetics is taking place.

Translating

Using one of the examples above, when we respectfully observe the natural world long enough, our spirit translates the language of nature we are seeing, hearing, feeling and thinking about into the language of the genetics we share. This is how nature speaks to us and how we speak to nature. Nature speaks to our four basic aspects with energies, rhythms, pacings, demonstrations, analogies, similes and allegories. Sooner or later during communing, the merged voice from teacher and translator forms within us and says, “This means...”

Sustaining

As previously written, “only the natural contains the elements necessary to sustain the natural.” Now it is possible to also see, “only the natural contains the information necessary to explain the natural.”

The natural world is a system of give and take with zero waste for the sustenance and guidance of the bodies, minds, emotions and spirits of everything in the natural world. This is sustainability. This is the multilayered, multifaceted and multipurpose way of the Supreme Spirit. This degree of integration tells us no singular thing has a singular use and no singular thing is for a singular creature.

Reorienting

It is an aberration of all things Natural, Universal, Orderly, Peaceful, Uniting, Holy and Divine for any parent to have a younger child who is unlearned and give that child rulership over an elder child who is learned. Even once the younger becomes learned, it is unnatural for the last in line to become first. So it must be false humans have been given Divine dominion over the rest of the natural world. All disrespectful behaviors towards the rest of the natural world stem from this single mutation of the truth. Humans are a recent addition to the natural world family and are by inherited obligation, stewards of the values of the natural world family we are born into.

Our family depends entirely upon communal living principles. Those with elder knowledge become teachers to those with younger knowledge in this self-perpetuating manner: holding responsibility, the elder reaching down, the younger reaching up while the elder lifting up, the younger rising, holding responsibility. This ensures each member teaches another the family values. This ensures the chain of information is reinforced in the teacher. It reinforces respect for the eldest among us. There is no running to parents when an elder has spoken because an elder speaks with the authority of the parent because they share the same respect for communal values.

This process is carried out in descending order. This is what being a descendent means – to come down through and climb up through another. So must be our learning. It must come down through the rest of the natural world so we may climb up in the knowledge of self through the rest of the natural world.

Human animals can benefit from the experience and knowledge of older siblings by always listening to them and including them in our questions by simply asking, “ Is there an example in the natural world (Earth and Universe) to guide me?” and “Is there an example within my body or other aspects of myself to guide me?”

Rejoicing

Communing and sustainability go hand in hand. Both require spiritual respect, an awareness that grows the more we nourish our spiritual genetics. Communing and sustainability support each other's fullest expression. Each is a side post to the ladder that extends from here to the heavens. Communing transfers helpful information and healing energy for body, mind, emotion and spirit. Sustainability ensures this and all natural resources will be available for our descendents.

Humans ought always to commune without ceasing. In this is the rejoicing that empowers us with the meaning of life & existence through spiritual genetics.
