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

Transcending Places That Hold Us
Along With Rubin “Hurricane” Carter
Unity Consciousness #126

What Holds Us?

Is it a lack of knowledge?
Do we trust western-styled beliefs rather than the principles from the birthplace of humans and civilization?

Does lack of other nutrition hold us?

Does our failure to Sankofa hold us?

Does fear hold us?
Does this fear come from uncertainty due to lack of nutrition and presence of toxins that cause further attrition?

Is it human creations that hold us?
Does information about the Most High come from a primary source (written by God, not from God through humans)? A primary source is creation devoid of human manipulation, i.e., the natural world.
Or does information about the Most High come from a secondary source (written by humans who claim it came from God) - holy books?
Do we allow our definition of what is holy (determined by humans) to override our sense of what is universal (determined by God)? Do we study, observe, interact with and merge understanding of the natural world without and within? The natural world is The Word. The Word of God written in all languages everyone can understand spiritually, literally and metaphorically is the natural world.

Transcending Contradictions

The greatest contradictions start at the root of reasoning – our spiritual foundation.

If we acknowledge a Higher Power, why should we allow human law to be the highest authority? We must transcend the law of humans that is out of agreement with universal laws.

Then we transcend the law. We get back to humanity.

Transcending False Notions & Self-Esteem

There are many false notions, here are just a few:

1. Life ain't fair. Until we have transcended focusing on this Earthly life and have extended our knowing to the lives before and after this one, knowing what is fair will remain elusive.
2. Does our main identity hold us - job, car, house, money, romantic love, family, friends, children, memberships, etc. Our earthly identity is a small portion of our total identity because the physical is a small part of our identity. It is temporary. We are mostly spiritual and universal in nature and eternal.

Transcending Circumstances

If we feel our conception, birth and upbringing was not and is not on point, instead of blaming parents, we should work towards the perfection we expect of others. If we consider our circumstances, but yet, do not consider the conception, birth and upbringing of our parents, we are guilty of a double standard. Double standards always hold the holder of double standards.

”You have transcended, it's very important to transcend the places that hold us.”
- - Rubin "Hurricane" Carter

Transcending With Open-Mindedness & Thought Process

We must check out information before throwing it out. Digest it by absorbing it into the subconscious long-term information processor. If it is junk food, it won't kill us. If it is nutrition, it will help cure us. The reward for seeking truth is greater than the risk. The risk of ignoring or passing by what might be an unknown or hard-to-swallow truth is also greater than the reward for ignoring. There is little benefit to closed-mindedness and an insufficient thought process. They hold us in low places.

Transcending Logic Of The Lower Spiritual Self

Once we seek truth, which implies sincerity, which implies honesty, we will see it and be unable to turn from it.

It is a contradiction to claim to seek truth, but do so dishonestly. This dishonesty becomes evident when facts are ignored. Lying to ourselves becomes evident when we seek nothing more than to confirm our biases and what we already believe no matter the falseness of the long held notions. This is why those who ignore their African human origins and all truths/facts about Mama Africa and all world history, will remain held by the lower self.

”I ask you to consider the evidence. Don't turn away from the truth. Don't turn away from your conscience.”
