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

Sucking Understanding From Plant Suckers, Creation & Africa
Unity Consciousness #393

.

Those parts of plants we call side shoots and suckers are trying to get a message to us through example and through metaphor.

A plant sucker can produce an entirely new plant. If that plant sucker is removed from the parent to a different environment, it will eventually take on different characteristics.

If the knowledge of the parent plant is forgotten, a person encountering the plant sucker might consider the plant sucker to be an original and having an origin all unto itself. This, of course, would be a misinterpretation due to incomplete information.

If incomplete information is encountered first and learned as if it was complete information and that information is sewn into the senses of our thinking and attached to all the other pieces of the fabric of our lives, it is a necessary choice to extract and rework and add the rest of the information. So it is with our understanding of plant suckers and so it is with our understanding of how different groups of people came into existence from one African plant.

All groups of people are plant suckers from Africa, even those within Africa because they originated from one source within the heart of the continent.

Out of one came many. So it is with the Creator, with plants and with humans.
