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

Definition | Health Is Knowledge of Self And So Continues The Meaning of Life & Existence (Part 9a)

Defining Health

Health is knowledge of self.

Many sicknesses, illnesses and diseases are due to the absence of knowledge of self.

The only way to achieve health is by giving attention to our four basic inseparable aspects: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

Most people know they cannot be who they are at their jobs. They cannot be their true selves. This means it is not possible to be healthy people if we cannot be our true selves. If we are in possession of knowledge of self (know who we are), we will not set it aside because knowledge of self is everything because health is everything. (abundance).

Once we possess everything, we will not trade it for anything less. We will have esteem for the value of self, self-esteem. Only the one who is Greater has anything to offer us in exchange.

“Man in the full knowledge of himself is a superb and supreme creature of creation. When man becomes possessor of the knowledge of himself, he becomes master of his environment, the captain of his own ship, the director of his own destiny, the accomplisher of his own ends. Man should understand himself because man is full of knowledge and this knowledge is a gift of nature. When Mother Nature created man, she deprived him of nothing. He was given the faculty of understanding all things around him. This faculty for understanding has not been taken away from him. None of his senses have been taken away from him.” (From, Marcus Garvey Interview )

”Know thyself is more than just an intellectual mandate. It is also about the innerworkings, outerworkings, interconnections and outerconnections of bodies, minds, emotions and spirits.”

Simply put, self-esteem is knowledge of self.

The health of parents extends to children.

Health faileth, next the fall and pride cometh at the same time, often slowly, then all at once.
