Kwanzaa's First Family Reunion Spoken From African BlacknessUnity Consciousness #894

.

Here I am in this land, labeled America, a fragment still virgin according to the celestial. I am walking down a country road with a newly discovered family member. We meet some people he knows from earlier ago. He is related through a maze of marriages. They speak of their last family reunion.

I wonder if I am also part of my fellow traveler's extended relations. I begin to question the woman he is speaking with. He leaves us in conversation. We continue walking and talking out in the open as younger ones follow along listening. I keep trying to figure out exactly how she is related to my brother friend, so I can figure out how I also fit in. I question, she answers. After several times through this pattern, the clarity we are both seeking seems to get more convoluted and farther away. We have gone through marriages, connections, cousins, in-laws, neighbors, friends and “play” kin.
Finally, this country woman, sensing the never-endingness of our exchange, states in plain fashion to complement her natural style,

”It doesn't matter anyway, we are all African from the same family.”

She spoke the seed of civilizing logic – Kwanzaa in a nutshell.
She spoke first truth to overcoming enslavement of the mind and estrangement of spirit untwined.
At that exact moment, literally, actually and physically, the Sun shone brighter upon us black people down in the valley beneath the trees in the shadows of mountains, clouds and obscuring identities.
All of us standing on that dusty road went from good-looking to simply beautiful. We were restored to water-bred virginity by zeroing in on infinity.
Despite the varying shades of skin and degrees of understanding, that one understanding of family caused African blackness to reign supreme.

This understanding of the First Family to which we are all kin, is something I am hearing said more and more.
Because it is being spoken, it is no longer in theory, but in practice.

The restoration of consciousness will not be stopped by those who don't get it or reject it.
A new reunited extended family is being reformed in blackness, which on Earth is African and in the Universe, is the first Truth in the Waters. Blackness is Preexisting in the Universe, thus in the Creator. Night is always existing, Light is created by Night. On Earth, this preeminence of blackness has an African birth. Consciousness of the First Family is being reborn first and then colors will reverse along with all else.

The First Family Reunion came out of theory and into practice because Ancestors are speaking and more of us are listening, even ones who have become citified and misidentified.
As we continue to connect awareness of our common Ancestry, we, the Ancestors, will be reunited in our present form.

The clarity of understandings we are seeking on all levels is only as far away as African blackness is from consciousness.

Here we are in Africa. Having made this connection to a spontaneous ongoing First Family reunion on Earth, we have now been invited to the larger one being held on the Galactic Sun.
We are heading back the way we came and telling everyone who already knows, they are welcome to come.
Right now we are still living in the chill of Great Year Winter but the Great Age of Spring is marching closer to the equinox of a new epoch.

I'm not sure where the brother I started today's journey with walked off to, but I am sure I'm more fully connected to the relationships I need to and yet all of creation awaits the same awakening that reorients human participation.
The feeder roots of understanding tapped into the main root and we are firmly planted in a worldview of African Blackness.
We are becoming more primitive and primordial and evolving into our elemental nature as Nguzo Saba and Akhemu-Seku (the seven never-setting stars in Ursa Minor Constellation representing the seven elementals).

African Diaspora Definition & Human Genome DNA TestingUnity Consciousness #587

.

(1) All human genome DNA testing and all ancestry tests based on DNA should logically show all human types originated in Africa.
(2) All human genome DNA testing and all ancestry tests based on DNA should truthfully show every person's genetics and ancestry is foundationally African, not by a simple majority of genetics but by a 100% unanimous majority of genetics.
(3) All human genome DNA testing and all ancestry tests based on DNA, should show, based on all known evidence, every person's ancestry originated in Africa.
These three things are true for the whitest of the whites, the reddest of the reds, the yellowest of the yellows, the brownest of the browns and the whateverest of whatever color code you go by (mocha, toffee, honey, butterscotch, golden, salmon, ivory, cream, caramel, sable, colorless, etc.)

No person on the planet originated on the European peninsula portion of Asia.
No person on the planet originated anywhere else in Asia regardless of what your religion says.
No person on the planet originated on any island in the world or on any other continent other than Africa.

The root of every person's family tree is Africa. Every person on the planet is African.

One of the core contextual problems in the world is this very thing. Most people in most nations have been miseducated, thus mutated, to think and behave against their own family, thus against self. This thinking and behavior takes place based on the false notion that other people on the planet belong to a different family, nation, race, species, religion, bloodline, group or some other classification that makes them not part of the one and only same human family that has only one family tree with many branches. This is not complicated to understand. It is very hard though for people to come to grips with who have problems with conscience, thus character. As the basis of their ego slips away they hold on in desperation to the lie regardless of the mountain of evidence against the lie. These are the sickest of the sick – the terminally ill.

If you are a human, human being, homo sapiens or homo sapiens sapiens, you are living in a state of crisis emergency and self-esteem adversity if you think the roots of your ancestry have beginnings someplace other than Africa.

Ancestry.com and other DNA-based genealogy searches that lead people away from Africa are lower-self manipulators.

Due to context conundrums, humans have lost touch with family members while living in the same house or as next-door neighbors. Due to context conundrums, humans have lost touch with who they are as individuals because they have lost touch with themselves (who they are as part of the human family collective).
This is simply due to the universal karma combination of what has been taught and what has not been taught. (Be careful about prizing your education and belittling the lack thereof of others. Who is actually better off?)
The profusion of physical and cultural differences support the illusion and the multitude of family feuds. Come on now. Does the different look and behavior within your immediate family mean each person must belong to a different family? Does a profusion of physical and cultural differences of roses make these roses fundamentally different and born from different families and ancestry? The natural world is full of mirror image examples to compare our thinking to in order for us to “know” right from wrong. As you get more of this natural world context, you will get a better sense of yourself. You will begin to regain conscience-ness.

Any group name or national name people on Earth currently go by, does not change a darn thing about the genetic fact that your family is still an African family – blacker than black, blue-black in fact from the moment the first human seed cracked open.

Since Africa is our Earthly origin, Africa is the surname of all people. To help us remember this, every group name or national name should be hyphenated-African such as: European-African, Indian-African, Israeli-African, Japanese-African, Chinese-African, British-African, Irish-African, French-African, Inuit-African, Korean-African, Ukrainian-African, German-African, Thailand-African, Costa Rican-African, Swedish-African, Canadian-African, Russian-African, Australian-African, Philippine-African, Greek-African, Polynesian-African, Latino-African, Hispanic-African, Mayan-African, Native-African, Indigenous-African and American-African. All Americans are American-Africans. No American is African-American. America is not the root. Africa is the root of humanity and civilization. America is the disfigured branch and fruit.

Welcome back home to the real world where the largest and deepest part of your ancestry is African. Family reunions not centered around the essence of Africa are woefully deficient in the deepest part of who we are. What are we reuniting for?

All people are attached to Africa just the same as all landmasses were once attached to Africa. This one land mass is called the “Pangaea.” This one African land mass separated into all the land masses existing today. There is no such thing as different continents. There is such a thing as separate pieces of one Earth.
There is also a Pangaea of parentage for all people. All people come from the same parents but have become separated from this understanding as Africans have spread out and populated the entire planet. This parental Pangaea is the mirror image of the land mass Pangaea. There is no such thing as different people. There is such a thing as different children from one family.
Anywhere on the planet where there is a person, there is an African. This then means: everywhere in the world there are people, those people and those places are part of the African Diaspora; people-wise and land-wise.The African Diaspora not only applies to any person living outside of physical Africa, but it is also true for any person living outside of mental Africa, emotional Africa or spiritual Africa. Thus, there is also an African Diaspora within physical Africa. Thus, the entire planet is the African Diaspora as long as there is a single African separated from Africa in some way. Such is one of the lessons of the story of the prodigal son.

You are African. I am African. Time to come back home sister child, brother child - no matter how long you've been prodigal or for what reasons you became separated and your self became excommunicated, from communion with family. Come on home now. Begin to come home right now in context in your private place and the rest of your self, the best of your self, will lead you to that soul-seeking paradisical place, through the valley of Dark Ages and its shadow of Great Death.

The matrix can only envelope the mind in illusion. It can not envelope the spirit seeking its source.

Cousins: Abimelech, Philistine Palestinians & Israelite IsraelisUnity Consciousness #514

.

Abimelech #1, A Philistine Palestinian

1. The Philistine/Palestine territory is west of Jordan and runs along the coast of the Great Green Sea. It is south of Tyre and Sidon on the coast. It is north and east of the River of Egypt.

2. Abimelech is the King of Philistines whose royal city is in Gerar. Abimelech took Sarah when Abraham technically lied and said his wife was his sister.

3. Lineage: Abimelech is a descendant of,,,of Casluhim of Mizraim of Ham of Noah.
Abraham is a descendant of … of Arphaxad of Shem of Noah.
All the descendants Of Japheth, Ham and Shem are cousins.
Palestinians and Israelis are cousins biblically, historically and genetically. The Philistines & Israelites started out as black Africans. Then they both became Semites and their names changed to Palestinians and Israelis.
The lineages of Ham and Shem have already been proven to be of Kushite/Ethiopian origin. This only leaves Japheth to study. What else could he be except who his parents are which is the same as who his brothers are? What else could Noah and all the others on the ark be? What about Seth and Cain, Abel, Eve and Adam? An African national origin for all these people matches science and world history. Bibles are for believers in belief only.

Further Evidence Of The Palestinian-Israeli Connection

4. God spoke to Abimelech in a dream. (Genesis 20:3) Abimelech was a God-fearing man. Same God as Abraham.

5. Abraham & Abimelech made a covenant in Genesis 21 that they and generations after them would deal with each other truthfully.

6. In Genesis 26, Isaac comes to Gerar and lies to Abimelech and tells him that Rebekah is his sister. So much for truth in lineage. Abimelech then makes an oath with Isaac for them to have friendly relations.

7. Several indications suggest that before Islam, many Muslims adhered to Christianity and other religions. Before Christianity, many Christians adhered to Judaism. Before Judaism, many Jews adhered to African spiritual teachings because their Ancestors were born into African spiritual traditions.

Abimelech #2, An Israelite Israeli

Lineage: Jotham of Abimelech of Gideon(Jerubbaal) of Joash of Abiezer of Hammoleketh (female) of Machir of Manasseh (& Aramitess mother) of Joseph (& Asenath, daughter of Potipherah, priest of On) of Jacob Israel (& Rachel) (Judges 6-8; Joshua11) (1 Kings 17, Numbers 26-27, Genesis 41, 1 Chronicles 7)

After his father died, Abimelech went to Shechem, the home of his mother (house of Millo), and convinced them to make him ruler of Israel instead of allowing all of his brothers to rule over them. Abimelech then went and killed all his brothers except Jotham, who was hiding. Abimelech reigned three years over Israel. Abimelech then went on another killing spree and was finally killed. (Judges 9)

Understandings

Abimelech #1, who was a Philistine Palestinian....of Mizraim... of Noah, was a much better person and cousin to the Israelites than Abimelech #2 who was of the tribe of Joseph of Jacob Israel... of Noah.

I would not be surprised if the Semite origin of both the present-day Palestinians and Israelis is not one and the same.

The Palestinians are Philistines mixed with Cro-Magon and/or Semites.
The Israelis are Israelites mixed with Cro-Magnon and/or Semites.

The Philistines were Egyptians who were Kushite/Cushite Ethiopians.
The Israelites were Chaldeans who were Kushite/Cushite Ethiopians.

By Definition & Defamation, Black Semite, White Jew

---

The following names are similar in spelling.
Abimelech was alive during the time of Abraham and Isaac.
Ahimelech was alive during the time of Saul and David.

Ahimelech #A, Levite Israelite

Lineage: Ahimelech (priest) of Abiathar (priest) (2 Samuel 8) (1 Chronicles 24) (1 Samuel 21)

This Ahimelech is the same person as #B. Some verses have Abiathar as the son of Ahimelech.

Ahimelech #B, Levite Israelite

Lineage: Jonathan of Abiathar (high priest) of Ahimelech (priest) of Ahitub of Amariah of Azariah of Meraioth of Zerahiah of Uzzi of Bukki of Abishua of Phinehas of Eli/Eleazar (priest in Shiloh) of Aaron (& Elisheba) of Amram (& Jochebed) of Kohath of Levi of Jacob Israel (& Leah) of Isaac (& Rebekah) of Abraham (& Sarah) of Terah of Nahor of Serug of Reu of Peleg of Eber of Salah of Arphaxad of Shem of Noah of Lamech of Methuselah of Enoch of Jared of Mahalaleel of Cainan of Enos of Seth of Adam (& Eve) of The Creator. (Exodus 6, Genesis 35) (1 Samuel 4, 14, 22, 30) (2 Samuel 15) (1 Kings 2:27)

Ahimelech #C, Levite Israelite

This Ahimelech is the same as #B, except Ithamar replaces Eli/Eleazar per 1 Chronicles 24:3; In contradiction, in the same verse Zadok is said to be of Eleazar. Elsewhere Ahitub, father of Ahimelech is of Eleazar. Either way all these people are Levite Israelites.

Ahimelech #D, The Hittite Who Is An Israelite

This Ahimelech is same as #B except 1 Samuel 26 calls Ahimelech a Hittite which is a Hethite. Heth of Canaan of Ham of Noah. This means the lineage of Shem is potentially of Canaan and that Shem is not a son of Noah on the same level as Japheth and Ham. This possibility is supported by the way Shem's genealogy is listed in Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1.
Ahimelech, a priest, a Levite who is a Hittite who is a Canaanite who is a Levite who is an Israelite.

This matches Canaan, Hittite Mother Of Ancient Jerusalem, Samaria & Sodom, Unity Consciousness #489

Lastly, it is more than likely that at a minimum, Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, was a Hittite. Bathsheba's husband was a Hittite and he (Uriah) was a soldier in King David's army. (2 Samuel 11, 24) (1 Chronicles 11:26, 41)

The Seventh Day – Death of Demons, Rebirth Of Families

Whose holy book does not speak of the destruction of evil? They all do.

Those with knowledge of self shall heed the many signs before this day. They will be the cure. They will have thought it, spoke it, consumed it, worked it, studied it, communed with it and called upon it. Being in tune with Earth and Universe they shall feel black matter surging. And when the sky parts, there will be exultation. The antidote's emerging, the last nutrient in the cure, will signal the Dark Age of demon beings is over.

All that remains is the sentencing to the final fate.

After no deliberation, from the belly of the beasts will come the voice of children who will speak as one.

“Filthy! Discharge!”

The Avenger will engulf you and sweep you out of here and into a black hole. Yes you will descend into blackness because you were born of a black womb. Never knowing harmony on any level in any way, during your grown up days, you, will, die, un, learned.

Immediately each beast will transform into its original unthreatened state - a family, extensive and whole. The family is the beast that always defeats what threatens its natural existence. Each nutrient supporting the other.

And on the seventh day, children will be born singing of the promises they helped create. All of them will be descending. There will no longer be any need for them to be concerned about defending. They will safely return to evolving because the one nation will be surrounded by nutrient-strong sentinels, watchers and gatekeepers. I will be there on the northern arc with the latest pair of blackness wings as freedom rings loudly once again from every motion of every being.

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.

Values Keep Families Together

Part 8f reminds us learnderstanding is affected by all information we encounter. If we live amongst worldviews and values that conflict with ours AND our family's values have lost their cohesive and corrective nature, the only possible result is what's happening now - the foolish notion that each individual can pick and choose their own set of values and still achieve family Umoja, Ubuntu and Harmony. This is an impossible task, just as it is impossible for each person, community, county and state to choose their own set of values/laws and a nation remain united. Things must fall apart and be chaotic along the way simply because there is no harmonizing set of values.

Falling Further Apart, Moving Farther Apart

Without communal family values that come from the same worldview, Creator-given potentials and possibilities of individuals and families will be influenced towards altered paths and outcomes. Greatness will be based on human limitation. For individuals and families without a central identity of unifying values, things will fall apart and be chaotic.

Value of Religion

Views on spirituality, creation and religion are significant factors in relationships. Since the powerful influence religion has on decisions and learnderstanding is well known, religion has been and still is being used as servant/tool/weapon.

”The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.” - - From Things Fall Apart (1)

A la Carte Value Menu

This is why, “we all can't just get along,” not even in our families. Individuals have their own set of values that have been pieced together from several worldviews. For most individuals who take the scattered path and piece together their worldview from a menu, their list of values usually contains contradictory items. We pick our own poison. Under this scenario, since no two people have the same set of values, the genetic zipper that brings two people together, and allows them to work together for the greater good of themselves and all else, gets stuck and snagged in several places.

To solve this frustrating problem, that same ol' knife of separation offers itself again to cut, once and for all, the ties that bond us communally. The knife wielder's sharpness and swiftness of action slices away the principle thing which is awareness of the sensible thing - the necessity to repair the problem with unifying values, especially the welding iron of wisdom. (The reason this knife works so well to separate people is because it has already weakened the connection within individuals that unifies the four aspects of mind, spirit, body and emotion.) This has been accomplished by interfering with nutritional factors. It has nothing to do with cleverness and everything to do with deceptiveness due to spiritual weakness which then weakens the other three aspects of self.

Finding Lost Nutritional Values

Falling apart can be traced to a lack of many things such as intuition, wisdom, female elders, male elders, remembrance of ancestors, connection to our natural world family, historical context, nutrition, awareness of truth, self-study, good habits and other basics that contribute to knowledge of self. Finding lost values is as easy as replacing what we lack on this list. Finding lost values is as hard as lacking the will to go through the processes.

Just Say “No More” To Mis-Education

If our communal family is not self-determined/governed, we will encounter tons of information from different worldviews that is likely to go against communal values. This information will come from legally required school curricula, churches, media, entertainment, government, social customs, practices, traditions and from anyone who swallows along. We will be forced to cooperate with unhealthy values and abandon healthy values or else be subject to penalties for not drinking the juice that corrodes the insides of communal bodies.

In summary, whatever is not based on our communal values or does not blend harmoniously with them will work against us and work to separate us from our values, our family and ME. This is the mis-education Ancestor Dr. Carter Goodwin Woodson warned us about.

Related Proverbs:

It is unwise to expect unity, yet agree to disagree on core values.

Follow no one's advice unless you also follow their values. Fully consider the advice of anyone who shows love for you by their repeated actions and treats you as family.

Related Quotes:

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.

If we do not develop a greater awareness of motion and resources, we will be limited by the illusions associated with time and money.

Illusion expects things to get better without applying resources towards the process to get better.

Poor Creativity

Tales From A Family Reunion

My oldest brother loves to share this punch and counterpunch from one of his marital disputes after 30 years together:

“If I had the money, I’d leave you!”

“If I had the money, I’d give it to you!”

That was several years ago and they are still together. Being poor can have unintended benefits at times but being poor by American standards has been a predictable blessing, affording me unknown things in an environment of creativity, ingenuity, imaginative play and problem-solving. I call this “poor creativity.”

For the couple above, being poor was manifested in their creative arguing. They completely spun and turned around the phrase, “It’s cheaper to keep her.” This would not have been possible if they had expendable financial resources. For me, being poor fostered an eventual recognition for the value, importance and appreciation of things, especially once I began to work every day for money. This was reinforced when I had to pay for everything I needed and wanted.

The notion that poor means having nothing is exposed for its foolishness when I consider my upbringing where making the most of what you have and making it despite what you didn’t have served as incubators for creativity and material sensibility, by American standards. We had the essentials and had more than others in this and other countries back then and today. Clearly, we were never poor; yet we were afforded the invaluable benefits of poor creativity. I wonder if that couple feels the same.
