What Is Your Context For Success?
Is it optimal or suboptimal? Does it include a natural world context, a historical context, a spiritual context, a gender context, a racial context, an ancestral context, a self context...? You must spend time thinking about the contexts you are using to base your understandings on. What are these contexts? Where did they come from? Do you understand them enough? Will these contexts help you get to where you need to go? Do any of these contexts conflict with each other or your goals for success?The Normal Context For Success Is Self
As you just learned, all understanding is based on understanding of self. Likewise, all success comes from this same context - self. Whether you know it or not, everything you think about, do and understand you relate that information to yourself. This is a good thing because:"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 )
What Is A Successful Context For Self?
A successful context for self helps you understand how you are connected and related to the whole human family, the natural world, all Earthly creations, all celestials, the universal, the quadruplets, the triplets, the twins and the One. In ancient times, when everyone knew they came from the same family, humans were taught interconnectedness and interrelatedness. This is the only way humans were able to live for hundreds of thousands of years without destroying the planet and each other. This teaching still occurs in some places where the seeds of civilization are flourishing as models for success. The context for self must look through this context which is the Creator's. This context is known by looking through what the Creator has created. The closest and best thing to use as a guideline is yourself. Once your context for success is based on understanding self, then you can more efficiently work on the conditions of success such as getting nutritions.The Power Of Context
A person who understands at the minimal level as an Initiate of Learning Self is better prepared to achieve success than a person who understands at the highest level through an educational context not based on self. The reason is basic, Initiates learn from an inward-outward-within-without unifying perspective rather than approaching something to be learned as something outside of self. Success is the result of a personal growth process that is connected to that which was successful at giving you life and is successful at maintaining your existence. You will be on a more certain path to success as you understand more about the successes you already contain. Success pursued through a self-understanding context brings rewards* that exceed any reward of success defined in other ways. Even if you choose not to think about success in terms of understanding how you are connected and related to everything else, at least remember, "nothing matters unless you are successful at being a human being." (Rubin Hurricane Carter)Choosing To Succeed Or Fail*Be not deceived by thinking the philosophical does not translate into the tangible and practical. It is exactly the spiritual and conceptual that must come first and brings all things into being and has transformed matter into all forms you see right now and continues to change things. The rewards are spiritual, mental, emotional, physical and material.
