"Free and critical minds can emerge only by a return to the source-the primary sources. A free and critical mind takes nothing for granted and is not intimidated by "authorities" who frequently may be more confused than the general public. Free and critical minds seek truth without chauvinism or shame."-Asa G. Hilliard III

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

Encourage Going Through Changes, Plant More Seeds
Phase One
Unity Consciousness #1371

.

(Part 9ji of 11)

In order for Spirit-Soul to be life, give life and sustain life, spirit-soul must go through changes. There is no other way.
The Creator is the Transformer who is the Seed of Spirit-Soul.

We are remembering that whenever we plant seeds or allow seeds to come to fullness and go through their cycles, we are encouraging going through changes.
To maintain life we must harvest. Harvesting requires going through changes.
Since we know life comes through harvesting, and that harvesting is life, then we know salvation is the result of going through changes.
Therefore, if we are to harvest salvation, then we must sow seeds, so those seeds have the opportunity of going through changes.

Always plant seeds and plant more than needed Sow into all forms of soil. By doing so, we encourage spirit-soul to go through changes.

In a very basic way, the soil of this Earth needs to go through changes by changing itself through seeds into other forms of life.
We must plant seeds in the soil so we, the extended self, can be fed and have life more abundantly.

When seeds of any type are planted in any type of soil, spirit-soul is released and death departs into life, the passive into the active.

Everyone is a seed and everyone has seeds they can plant so that going through changes never stops transforming life.

An essential element in Egyptian religion was human sympathy with the power in nature which sacrificed its life as a living sacrifice in the form of light, water, air, vegetation, fruit, roots, grain, and all things edible and life-sustaining. The powers of nature go through changes and then continue going through changes inside us, so we can keep on going through changes and continue living. (AE1 211/221)

Rather than simply “saving grace” before we eat, an easy way to be more mindful of the power of life in our hands, rather than throw seeds in the trash, plant them. If not, at least save some and throw some on the ground. Even if they don't grow, they will still go through changes by being eaten by something and by decomposing. This allows the spirit-soul in those seeds to experience life in other forms. It also allows all the spirit-soul that interacts with those seeds to also go through changes, which is encouraging.

Our logic has been formed the same way, seed by seed has been planted in us and gone through changes until we gained enough awareness to make up our own minds and then those seeds of logic slowly became stuck in one form and now they are in concrete. It's time to expose our logic back to the soil and all the other elements that sustain life.


Erase the distaste for yard waste but understanding it as the Lord's wasted spirit that deserves the right to go through changes back into the soil of its birth and continue working out its own salvation.

Encouraging Goodness To Breakthrough
Phase One
Unity Consciousness #1164

.

(Part 9bj of 11)

Goodness, on many levels, is trying to be reborn but is facing resistance of the shell it has been in.
Kindness consideration is one of many things that helps us steadily breakthrough the shell encasing our goodness and the goodness of others.
All of us struggle, in some way, and all us struggle even more when in the midst of changing, challenging conditions.
Goodness has been significantly restricted throughout many generations, until we know it in a form that is more episodic and an act, rather than continuous and commonplace matter of fact.
Everything in the universe is interacting for a reason and the nature of the changing energies is changing those interactions. Goodness is trying to breakthrough fully. The shell encasing goodness is weakening. Continuous kindness consideration is a strong tool that shares energy with others to help them keeping pushing on and finally breakthrough points of resistance.
Ask the universe within and without for assistance, and the universe will respond (usually in ways we had not at first considered, and the universe will often require more of us in order to receive what we basically need, beyond, or in replacement of, that which we seek)

We are made of the same atoms, elements and energy of the Universe. The Universe is everlasting. It transforms and endures because of these things. And so are we.

Definition: Articles About Creativity, Analysis Of How Creativity Fits ME And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8e)

Read Part 8a first - Definition: ME, Manifest Essence, Human Being, Wholeness Synonym And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8a)

[It is intended for readers to insert themselves as the “I” in this article.]

Creature Of Creativity

The Creator is a spirit of creativity. I have this spirit. Creativity is mine by nature. Not only am I a creature of habits, I am a creature of creativities.

I am so much more than designations such as someone's child, sibling, friend, parent, spouse, neighbor, job title, group affiliation, ethnicity or national identity. I am a living being whose spiritual and physical DNA is a system that operates on the principle of learning, adjusting and adapting. Creativity is in my genes.

As I use more and more of my power, this built-in creativity can't help but show itself.

Creativity Is Elemental & Fundamental

Creativity is an elemental essence of the Creator's spirit. Spirit is the unaccounted for element on the Periodic Table.

Everything is composed of elements. Every composition is temporary and always changing and transitioning. I am the same as these elements because I am composed of nothing but these elements.

Expanding Definition Of Creativity

Bringing something new into existence is a byproduct of something else. Creativity is first and foremost about learning. Learning is newness and newness releases creative energy.

In its truest sense, learning is the synthesis of human intellect and the spiritual intellects of intuition and wisdom.

Creativity Is Learning Is Changing

Change comes from learning and learning is a creative process. One of the greatest abilities I have is the ability to change. This is the opportunity to remake, reorder, reinvent, recreate and reestablish my life. The way my life changes depends on what I'm learning. Learning is part of my first nature. I am learning to be creative to be myself.

Primary & Secondary Creation

Primary creation is everything created by the Supreme Being. These are things such as spirit, elements, matter, the natural world, life, anything that supports life and inherent rights. All basic needs are primary creations. So are freedom, thought, creativity, learning, etc.

Secondary creation is what a human and a human being creates. I am a re-arranger of primary creation. I simply change the form or combination of elements.

Divine Creation & Spiritless Creation

Anything created by the Supreme Being and a human being is divine creation.

Nothing a human creates is divine because a human is not a human being spirit. This is not divine. A human is not strongly connected to their spirit which is the essence of the Supreme and therefore cannot manifest divineness. Human creations are spiritless. This is true no matter how magnificent the creation may seem. Neither accolade nor praise can transform the spiritless into the divine.

Creative Abundance

Earth and universe contain enough elements of primary creation to support all living beings. There is enough creative spirit for all things to be as intended - their best. This means there is enough room for everyone to be creative – as intended.

For the All-Powerful One, abundance is a matter of fact simple thing. I am filled with this spirit of abundant creativity and surrounded by it. Abundance is supposed to be mine because an abundant creative spirit is mine in an abundant world and universe.

I am out of touch with myself if I think the Greatest Giver Of Gifts who created every good thing wants to withhold the riches of goodness, primary creations, from me. I am misaligned if I think the spirit environment I was placed in, to live (the natural world), is for the benefit of the spiritless humans aka heathens, hellions, devils, demons and witches. No, it is for the chosen one, ME and my creativity.

My creativity allows me to do all the basic things any human can do. I can also be a human being by using the extra capabilities I have in areas specific to my spirit's purposes, my experiences and the influences of my ancestors.

At Last, The Primary Consideration

Life is not mainly about anything a human or a human being creates. Life is about what the Creator creates – the harmony of primary creations. Since I am a primary creation, my creativity is also supposed to be harmonious with primary creation. This is accomplished through knowledge of myself which is accomplished through nutrition.

Because knowing myself is the same as knowing my origins, creativity is a pathway to better understanding the Creator, creation, the natural, the universal, the meaning of life & existence, my global family and all other primary things.

I can know these things because I can do this thing: return to my original state of learning, changing and creating by following the genetic guidance of my spirit. Doing so is a divine gift, ability, right and responsibility.

Just like creativity, all the things that come with it fit ME perfectly. Teach the children these things.
For your encouragement, Asante Sana, Nana Baffour Amankwatia II

Family Planning Developments, Self-Esteem And Abuse & Neglect Context And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 7c)

Food Fight #50

Read Part 1 - ”All Ways To Communicate Begin With Definition & Context And So Begins The Meaning Of Life & Existence” (Part 1)

No Child Left Behind Begins At Home

Children cannot be left behind if they are sent to school with self-esteem.
Children can borrow books, pencils, paper and even lunch money but they must have their own esteem. If mature adults could go back in time, all of them would trade in many of the things their parents provided if they knew those un-necessities were drawing parental resources away from “child-supporting” self-esteem.

What Is Self-Esteem?

Simply put, self-esteem is knowledge of self. The four basic inseparable aspects of self (emotional, spiritual, physical, mental) have been addressed in Expanded Definitions: Reality, Illusion & Delusion For Everyone and Part 1 and Part 7b.

Of all animals, humans have the longest instruction period before their offspring must fend for themselves. Disgracefully, after several years of instruction, many human children still do not possess the knowledge of self they should and therefore children cannot possess the esteem for themselves they are entitled to by birthright into creation.

Family Planning Development

For parents and prospective parents, your personal health must be the only priority. Because the health of parents extends to children, taking care of children by parents taking care of themselves is the latest development from ancient times. This model hinges on remaining in a state of reverent apprenticeship to natural world teachers.

Their Upbringing Is All About Yours

Upbringing means bringing up children to higher and higher levels of self-awareness. This is “raising” children. This is the same definition for self-esteem. Throw away all other notions about parenting. Graduate from knowing more about micronutrients for plants via slow-release fertilizer to a higher degree of attention on the macronutrient needs of children via a steady diet of parental “watch me, now you try.”

Parents who realize, “raising” children “properly” is a redundancy are in the zone - that sweet flow of instinctive living and guidance. They realize children are either raised or not. This is why parents must focus on raising themselves so their children have no other outcome but to be properly prepared.

Parents must grow if children are to grow and learn to keep growing. Far too many parents operate under the illusion they can raise children without continuously maturing themselves into the healthier people they are intended to keep becoming. Parenting without personal growth will result in developmental delays in the growth of children. The only possible saving grace are others whom children come in contact with but parents who rely on chance instruction for their children obviously have not learned to feed themselves and are therefore reliant upon others to teach them as their primary method of knowing anything. In broader terms, the biggest hindrance to raising children is parental immaturity in areas they have yet to consider essential to the success of their children.

Who Cares About This Kind Of Stuff?

Children want to learn who they are and what they are capable of. Learning is their default mode. They want to learn about their relationship with the natural world and with all existence. I suspect this is where self-esteem suffers the most malnutrition. When children do not learn unifying concepts of themselves, unnecessary difficulties ensue as they try to find balancing points within themselves, relationships with others and with the rest of the natural world. Thus we have identity crisis, bullying, disinterest, learning difficulty, children straddling societal cracks that emanate from home, some falling through and a long list of problems that clog the passageway to love & happiness. Family planning can save the children. It can preserve their original state of promise or restore balancing harmony so children may flourish during their turn in this world.

Commitment To Children

What children need is simple - parents who are the best people they can be. This is why those who are not the birth parents are able to raise children. This is also why children who are absent one or more birth parents must be reassured from this perspective so they do not lose awareness of their ability to develop into their fullness.

When parents put love into an action plan, dynamic children are the result because the family plan is dynamic because it is principled upon independent and joint learning of self. Self-study means more than just studying on your own. It also means studying self. This is sometimes collaboratively, and frequently with the natural world but never alone because spirit is always present. In this manner, self-esteem becomes one of the few measurements that validly assesses the quality of life.

The Necessity of Male & Female Forces

Family planning goes beyond feeding, housing, clothing and schooling. Those things only address a small portion of the physical and mental aspects. This alone has no chance of supporting the level of self-esteem individuals need in order to have the best opportunities. Self-esteem requires nutrition for the entire self. This includes both feminine and masculine guiding energy for all children and adults. The importance of these counterbalancing complementary forces must not be overlooked. These different influences are as essential as the two types of DNA we all have. DNA comes as two halves to a whole set of instructions. Neither can function on behalf of the cell independently of the other. This brings us to the fundamental form of abuse & neglect. Separating children from access to these nutritional energies on purpose is abuse and not ensuring children get this energy, regardless of why it's not there, is neglect.

So-called single parents get no merit badges if they are not doing what is critically necessary for children by bringing all resources to bear on their behalf. Parents operating under the living martyrdom syndrome that they are going it alone are going about it all wrong. There is a universe of possibilities. This is why the Supreme Being put the same nutrient in several places – to give us more than one option to get what is necessary. When we combine this benevolence with our intelligence of body, mind, emotion and spirit, we remove debilitating hunger physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually from ourselves and our children.

Growing Home

Children will get bigger and older with very little effort. If parents want to take pride in providing a good home for their children, they need to plan a place that accommodates lots of fertile growing space indoors and out in the world. A place that allows children to learn the strength of their spiritual will and determination. Critical to self-improvement is allowing and encouraging children to work through adversity so they will never quit or retreat and sacrifice the abundance on the other side of overcoming for a comfortable hideaway. Each time anyone faces adversity and overcomes they have gained the benefit of another reference point to recall and use when faced with tough times again.

A good home is a place where individuals are seeking their fullest selves and supporting each other in those pursuits. It is a foundational place based on knowledge of self which helps clarify self-worth and all else worth having.
Share with children the self you are growing to know and when they are young, they will continue your story by developing their own.

7 Proverbs You Haven't Heard | Ujima Kwanzaa Celebration


At the Ujima Kwanzaa celebration today, participants shared proverbs. I heard this one deeply:
He who upsets a thing should know how to rearrange it.
Now, to me, this proverb means: don't mention a problem without providing a solution.
It also means: if I'm going to encourage something I must also provide things to help attain it.

In keeping with the blessing of today, here are seven personal proverbs.

1. Who can tell happiness or sadness from a hyena's laugh or a cat's cry?

2. Might as well, is the best worst reason to do anything.

3. He who only listens with his ears hears less than he who is deaf.

4. It takes two halves to make a whole, but two wholes to make one relationship that has half a chance.

5. Encouragement is: More than words can say.

6. The more time spent hiding things or keeping a thing hidden, the less time available to find things.

7. The farmer who must know how much rain or sun his crops will get, or what his harvest will be before planting, will never set foot in the field. His seeds will lose their power while in his hands, in his pocket or in the safe place he stores them.


In addition to overall comments you'd like to share, consider these this question:
1. In what way does one or more of these proverbs become usable for you in your life?

Poetry Discussion & Analysis


Most of my poetry does not originate from one moment. After repeated exposure to life's bits and pieces, something triggers an overall idea. The poem whispers its will and I listen. That's the simplified version.

All of the poems in Eloquence: Rhythm & Renaissance have a primary meaning knowable with just one reading. Many have some nuances. Some contain secondary meaning either completely or partially.

For example: The poem, “Cool People” is about good people. It explores the richness of relationships that are right.

Cool People are like a breath of fresh air and a cold drink of water ("like mountain breezes and well water"). They are pure and natural. Cool People make time for you when they need someone to take time for them (“listen when they need to be heard”). Instead of judging you, they judge themselves by the highest standards. Cool people are the fountain of youth.

There are several more areas to analyze and discuss - some I know, many I don't. When I hear unique perspectives, it confirms what the Spirit has promised. This is not just for you but for anyone open to art as a life advantage.

Although the artist has some intent, they can't control individual interaction with their work. In that respect, poems are no different than songs or visual art. We can enjoy these creative expressions without an explanation or complete understanding of the origin or it's objectives. I'm still gaining insight into songs I first enjoyed over twenty years ago.

Contrary to this post, I prefer to not comment on a poem until the reader has spent personal time with the poem and offered their own impressions. Perhaps, however, this will provide encouragement.

Enjoying poetry has nothing to do with understanding everything. There is no right or wrong to the way the poem speaks to us. Poetry is accessible if we allow it to be.

Help!


It’s deeply rewarding when someone (my friend from India) says, “You helped me.” Mind you, I haven’t talked to this person in over a year. Mind you, the “help” they’re talking about happened years before we last spoke; yet they still remember and still acknowledge it as though it just happened. In that moment of sharing, that moment of unique connection, there’s satisfaction, joy and simple pleasure that something done for someone had significance, made a difference and is still appreciated.

Whatever it was I did for this cool person must not have been much or complicated to me because I don’t even remember and I didn’t ask. It really doesn’t matter. Something small given, when needed, is a big deal to the receiver.

It’s deeply encouraging when another someone receives the results of your gift, is blessed and feeds you back by saying they’re going to support everything you do. She said she knows how important it is. Positive energy prepares and preserves the path.

Greater things are always at work. Our need and pleas for help bring answers from unlikely places. We must already have awareness, acceptance and appreciation to receive these blessings and opportunities.

Encouragement: The Gift Opener


This is a follow-up to “Opening The Gift of Childhood.”

A friend remembers being assigned a speaking role in a church performance at age 12. Although she dreamed of speaking before others and practiced speaking to imaginary crowds often, she begged her parents and church members to not make her go through with it. They said, “You can do it!” They didn’t fully realize her lack of confidence came from her reliance on others to do things for her. When the moment arrived, she froze, then, ran crying from the church. Her peers teased her but adults provided kind words and encouragement.

Now that facing a real crowd was no longer unfamiliar territory and with continued support to believe in her abilities, she began taking smaller steps. She spoke from her place in the congregation, collected church offerings, taught Sunday School, joined church and school plays and spoke in her classes. During this process she realized two things: (1) The same people she spoke to one-on-one were the same people in the congregation and (2) Communicating one on one was good but with groups, she could deliver the same message once and impact more people.

Overall, she learned to view challenges and frustrations as preparation for blessings. Whenever fear tries to surface anywhere, she reaches into this experience. As Tavis Smiley (quoting Marvin Gaye) suggests, she has “turned her fear into energy” and now speaks to groups on a regular basis and finds it much easier because speaking and her topics are her passions.



In high school, I was terrified of taking an English class from one particular teacher. I heard she was hard from student informants. I doubted my ability to comprehend and keep up with the concepts, the teacher and the really smart students. I tried to get out of it but couldn’t. I planned to do the minimum until I learned we had to write something everyday in a journal, let her read it, criticize it and grade it. Me? Write daily about something personal and let someone more knowing than me read it? However, I feared not graduating more than I feared not being good enough.

I rambled through the routine, wrote whatever and gambled with true feelings. In return, I received praise, encouragement, silence, gentle guidance and freedom to write my thoughts my way. Needless to say, writing then has helped writing now because that journal assignment was much more than an English lesson. It has helped shape my acceptance of this and other gifts as the purest form of praise to the Great Giver of Gifts. It opened my confidence, self view and worldview just enough. I learned another method to understand and communicate with myself and others. What I write can’t be changed plus it has the power to impact more people than I will ever meet face to face.

Encouragement in any form is a gift opener. We do angelic things when we consider the needs of others.
