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 | Dysfunctional Families Causes, Effects & Restoring Function And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8m)

Dysfunctional Families

When it comes to families, dysfunctional means the same thing as mis-education. When mis-education lingers, individuals cannot function properly and families also become dysfunctional.

Individual dysfunction creates family dysfunction and family dysfunction creates individual dysfunction.

Dysfunctional Frequency

Because mis-educated individuals have become commonplace, dysfunctional families are everywhere, scattered about like societal collateral damage. The four previous parts, 8i – 8l explore the causes and effects.

Formula To Dysfunction Families & Individuals For Generations

All of the above causes and effects have a lot to do with Big Willie, who said,

“...to master a human being, no matter what his race or color, all you need to do is to strip him of his identity, his land, the strength of his culture, and the memory of his ancestors.” (1)
In other words, take, mis-educate, then dominate.

It is important not to overlook the entire truth of this statement. This tactic has been and still is being used against all peoples. This is why most people are being dominated by a few in nearly every country. The 99% proves this over and over again. Disparities are the starkest in societies of the G20+ variety and in countries that admire, covet and wannabe in the group.

Only dysfunctional individuals and dysfunctional families can produce dysfunctional societies that have widespread inequality. Mental health issues cause these individuals to continue to vote for inequality that harms them at every turn.

A Changed Consciousness

“...nobody could come and map out your relationship for you. They can give you certain information that can change your consciousness. A changed consciousness automatically remaps its relationships” - internally and externally. (2)

Restoring Function, The Next Step In The Process

Now that we have awareness of the causes and effects of dysfunction, the next step is for us to admit it to ourselves and to our families.

Many of us admit our families are dysfunctional. That's as far as we are willing to go. Few of us will admit: we are personally dysfunctional and our families are mis-educated, do not have knowledge of self, do not have cohesive communal family values, are malnourished in fundamental ways and have mental health issues.

No, few of us will admit these things even though all these things are true for the majority of individuals in families and for the majority of families.

We can either admit this and move on to the next step in our recovery process or we can help Big Willie hurt us. All we have to do is keep denying dysfunction and continue relying on heads, pockets and houses stuffed with mis-education fluff.

We can also support Big Willie by voluntarily cutting ourselves and our children off from family and complete ancestral identity. This power draining problem adds to the already likely feminine/masculine energy imbalance.

Proverbs:

Family togetherness is an illusion when both leading and trailing indicators point to individual mis-education.
