"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

Calm | Poem
Unity Consciousness #411

Calm

by Ancestors through Usiku


The Lord is nature
My strongest points
I remember them and myself at once
Ntchr helps me rise in understanding
Leads me to strive for still more ascending
To restore knowledge of myself
Across rivers of consciousness for unity's sake
Though I must transform every mistake
And weakness that leads to death
I fear no evil
For all is within me as I reformulate myself
Serpentine fire and ancestors strengthen me
Coiling and releasing abundant energies
Heru-Atum-Ra-Khepera follow me
We shall dwell as completion of the Perfect Black
Until another cycle continues its eternal track

Hotep, World Peace In Greater Detail
Unity Consciousness #391

.

We Are Responsible For Greatness & Mediocrity Of Humanity
World Peace Through Power & Oneness Of We
Sure Signs, Symptoms, Causes & Effects Of Mental Illness, Part 4

What Is Peace?

Simply put, peace is balance. This balance rests upon understanding of self. Understanding must be at the appropriate level according to our intended stage of development. When understanding is not at the appropriate level, we do not have balance or peace.

No justice, no peace is a true statement. Likewise, no balance, no peace. This we know through experience, observation and the higher spiritual teachings of Amma, the Creator in the form of Mamma Maat. Some of the components of Maat are understanding, balance, justice and peace.

Hotep Means Peace

"Hotep is attained by living out the precepts or laws of Maat, the way." (1) As we grow in getting to know our Mother Maat, we will know ourselves better and know more peace.

"Hotep does not depend on outward conditions, such as with money, weapons, or lifestyle; neither is it running away from the trials and tribulations of life." (2) "Eternal peace or hotep can only be truly achieved when people elevate themselves to the highest part of their being, their spiritual selves." (3)

Values Of Peaces

Peace is an optimal state of existence - a best case scenario. Whatever is optimal cannot be achieved by what is suboptimal. Peace cannot be achieved through a suboptimal thought process constructed around a suboptimal context (worldview). Peace cannot be achieved through a personal set of values that are contradictory. These contradictions do not allow our personal ecosystem to function in harmony, in balance or in peace. This must be true regardless of what we say, do or think that gives us the illusion of being in balance and at peace. Truth is always known within. We at least know when something ain't right.

Another way to look at this is that inner contradictions cause outer conflicts. Conflicts between individuals, groups and other aspects of creation are caused by internal conflict, internal contradiction and an internal imbalance of understanding of self in relation to all else.

Peace Requires An Optimal Approach

In keeping with Maat, the African Utamawazo and the wisdom teachings of the Ancients, "Optimal Theory places primary value on peace, harmony with all creation, balance, the greatest good, positive interpersonal relationships, being holistic, cooperation, spiritual/material reality, spiritual/material unity, communalism, the extended self, inclusive logic, learning through inductive synthesis, multiple ways of knowing, self-knowledge, Ancestors and more.” (4)

Hotep!

World Peace Through Power & Oneness Of We
Unity Consciousness #390

.

Somehow or another we expect world peace without having an overall focus or overall identity. We lack the oneness of universality and the oneness of We. As a result, we lack essential components to have the power to achieve world peace.

This stage of life is not a dress rehearsal for some later utopia somewhere else where we all get along after achieving individual salvation. This is our chance right now to influence creation through our unique combination of abilities - not one of us or some of us, but all of us. Creation is we. We are creation. In our entirety, we are salvation.

Due to the suboptimal worldviews we're used to, this probably sounds strange but it's not strange to our Ancestors or those who still honor the ways back in the day when world peace existed without borders.

This is why it is necessary to reorient our worldview back to an optimal context. An optimal worldview reminds us that "we" and oneness goes beyond all humans alive today. We and oneness includes understanding "the sacred role of Ancestors, honoring nature as an extension of the self and how essential it is to practice communalism in order to achieve health and well- being." (1)

When it comes to world peace, an optimal worldview explains how these things are actually achievable. For example:
“Willingness to cooperate with others may reduce hostility, feelings of threat, jealousy and interpersonal conflict, which in turn may minimize excessive forms of stress. When cooperation is valued, the burden of responsibility for success or failure is shared, easing the stress, caused by failure or the fear of failure." (2)
Ancestor John Henrik Clarke pointed out what is missing in our education and in our struggle when he said, "“We lost something by way of communication one to the other. There was a period each one of us understood each other's struggle and we gave it a single name, “The Struggle of Africans Away From Home.”

In the same sense, we are experiencing the struggle of creation away from the oneness of the Creator, which is peace.

We Need More We, To Live Peacefully

All of the above speaks to the need for us to act as we and that our biggest impediment is the lack of conceiving ourselves as we. This lack of oneness in our thought process causes us to misuse and under-utilize our resources. There is no way to avoid wasting resources when people do not practice oneness with their entire being, with other humans and with the rest of creation.

Everything was created for multiple uses, purposes and services to the physical/mental/emotional/spiritual ecosystem of the Creator. Humans were created for multiple uses, purposes and services to this same, overall, universal ecosystem. Our lives and our service to our God must be to the universal oneness of creation.

All creation is beholden to share with each other and bears responsibility to other aspects of creation. Humans, in recent, so-called "modern" times, have been irresponsible to the concept of ecosystem, oneness, we, world peace and God. Everything created by the Creator is for the collective - even every life. All things created are for the Creator and not for the sub-creators that we are. Nothing we do is possible without everything the Creator does and has put in place. Know this and know we.

Until we once again restore our memory to this place of understanding our collective knowledge of self, world peace can't exist.

Sure Signs, Symptoms, Causes & Effects Of Mental Illness, Part 4
Unity Consciousness #252

.

A sure sign, symptom, cause and effect of mental illness is believing peace and health are unrelated.

Peace and health are two metaphors of the same thing. Not only do they depend on each other, they extend from each other.

Peace In The Human Body

In the body, when there is sickness, there is no peace because a war is being waged. The war is between the invading organism and the cells of the body. Sickness is war on health which means no peace can exist when there is an ongoing war against healthy functioning.

Peace In The Body Of Earth (World Peace)

A society is naturally at war within and without its borders. Just as that which attacks the body cannot bring peace to the body, neither can peace on Earth be authored and orchestrated by a society. Where there is no civilization, there is no peace.

Sick Relief

Mental illness causes belief that destructive behavior to the world can somehow help reconstruct the health of the world.

Sick people usually want the sickness out of them so they can get rid of the pain and suffering so things can get back to normal, the way they should be. Mental illness sticks with the societal way even though the societal way of viewing the world is the reason for the sicknesses in the society.

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.

Sixth Mark Of Exhibited Beasts – A Demon Being

Number six is the mark you answer to - your name. It the common name you go by when many of you want to come together and act like a gang. When the same things are done by other people in other places, you call it inhumane. Yes you, unashamed of your marriage to a national name will be marked and there is only you to blame.

And yet there were ways to avoid the beast's pure aim. Your voting record will be checked to see if you voted for the cure or the sickness to remain. Also, when it came to life in general, did you do better once you knew better? Did you self-correct? Did you change? Were you afraid of the truth and lied to disguise it as being afraid of change? Sadly, because of groupthink, the answers will not change.

There are so many names yet all will be marked the same. And since the first mark, my oh my how the tone has changed.

For this reason alone, despite the mission at hand, the beasts will weep because so many had so many chances to change. So many chances to rearrange, their DNA and change their ways.

There were so many messengers with warnings who proclaimed. Yet you hearkened to the weaker, the carnivorous creature. and not the sisters and brothers who offered nutrition in accordance with their duty as thy keeper to free you from Stockholm syndrome. You hearkened not to nature, the truth teachers of the physical world. You remained immature boys and girls – deformed by the malformed and unwilling to embrace health reform.

You did not learn that always, always, natural laws and orders and their opposites hold true to form. For instance, an escaped criminal can never be reformed and a bad marriage is never something to which you should conform because it can never produce a healthy norm or a happy home. You have given in and not only acquiesced to the hellions but have called the greater good the sin because you have made life all about taking and getting and not giving and asking. You selfishly and criminally and disgustingly follow the cheater. From this corrupt instruction can come only one kind of achiever – a self, and everyone else, deceiver.

Let's be real once and for all. The only thing that is ever on trial is truth. Every choice is a witness. Every decision is a vote for or against truth. Every life testifies and sooner or later each case will be tried. I in I ain't ever lied.

Since truth comes from the Supreme, when you judge unfairly you discriminate against what the Greatest has established.

Is there any need to say what is to come? Is there anyone who does not know that what is coming has been coming since the very first lie and the very first genetic malfunction that weakened instead of strengthened when it diversified?

It has been a long time coming but when it comes, what you have answered to is what you shall answer for. You will pay for your collective identity and your collective works. Since you are so emboldened by your chosen name, it will be carved into your bare bones by flaming stones. Yes, you will be stoned for every pebble of wrong. The charred indents of every letter will finally bring pride to shame. This is the mark of affiliation or guilt by arrogant association. It is the penalty for doing as diseases do. And so will be the sixth mark in the sixth moment. It is Divine judgment and always sufficient unto the day. This day is not yet over.

Fifth Mark Of Exhibited Beasts – Struck By Lightning Repeatedly

Number five will be clear once your genetic code is checked against the original, layer by layer. Those who swear up and down they're adults, yet continuously choose malnutrition in any area will be marked because this behavior weakens and then sickens the other three. It supports the disease already in the world.

The beast is also coming for those who have every opportunity to strengthen their genetic code but choose not. Disregarding what nourishes is like slapping away the hand of saving grace, therefore the other hand of mercy shall not be extended.

Everything knows within itself whether it is in a state of rightness or wrongness. You know. Up to now you've managed to dodge the rod, you, uppity one, who dare God to uphold the law. You must have demon eyes if you can't see the human side of what The Creator sees in precious lives.

Since you openly dare the Mother/Father you will be publicly flogged by electrical impulses because you have chosen the dare over the truth. As is fitting your perdition, and in keeping with the nature of a thing, not even you will be shocked by this treatment.

And so will be the fifth mark in the fifth moment. It is no doubt sufficient by itself.

Fourth Mark Of Exhibited Beasts – Bloodbath & Pure Pain

Number four will be clear from sentences of life experiences read aloud. Your long rap sheet is more than half covered with “and so on,” “etc.” and “more of the same.”

Some will be marked for the first time, and as usual, the other marks will be added immediately.

You will be immersed in all the blood and pain on your hands. This is only the first part of the fourth mark.

Each time you ask for you or yours to be spared, you will retch the hot lifeblood you've diminished and then be forced to swallow this truth.

For all who've suffered for the beneficial reasons and justifiable reasons you claim, the pain of their blood boiling will erupt volcanoes throughout your arteries and veins. The sulfur that now has a chokehold on every cell will preserve you for the burning brimstone where the noxious dwell.

All your weapons that disappeared during the second marking will be brought back and used against you – from guns to institutions to decisions. You will feel. You will feel.


The beasts just gave me a look that said, “We got this! Chill!” I, with impatient learnderstanding, can't wait for the dreams I've seen in actual, natural things, to reveal a world healed. So yes, I'm ready right now for Maat to be fulfilled.

Your doctors will be allowed to assist you, if there are any left who will. Your own medicine just might save you since its side effects kill. But until, then, and as long as you remain, there will, always be, an unpaid bill.

This moment will last the longest because your calloused hardened calcified soul must be the example before the upheaval is final.

This because your primitive, savage ways have not changed since your Cro-Magon and Neanderthal days. You have twice appeared and are only once removed. The second reabsorption is nigh, yet it is not time for you to completely die.

And so will be the fourth mark in the fourth moment. It is no doubt sufficient by itself.

Third Mark Of Exhibited Beasts – Fears Multiplied

To determine who receives the third mark, the beasts will only need to feel for you. When they feel emptiness they will know they have found you. More of you will be marked for the first time having barely escaped the first two.

The beasts will increase your greatest fears. “The first shall be last and the last shall be first” will come true for the final time.

Bacteria will invade the few thoughts you have left and turn you into slaves due to your parasitic excellence. Ants will “take a pass” on this free labor because you know nothing about hard work and the common good but merely have an acquired taste to debase every place.

You will constantly think so-called weeds, pests and natural phenomena are all out to get you to steal yo' money. Money you use in place of self-esteem. You will even try to bribe the beasts to give you no marks. The price of greed is good. Though you have always paid for avarice you will now pay what justice insists. Still you offer to pay for a moment's rest when there is no lull to buy.

”I didn't know we caused so much death and destruction,” you will say in contempt even as you repeatedly push the powerless panic button.

The kids you funnelled into military will be suffering the same fate as you and too busy looking for the nonexistent DMZ, except those who await the order to defend honesty. Youth living precariously through old folk's misery are marching, demanding to know who's responsible for the psychology, subconsciously, to make them proud to be, murder's accessory. You will know what it's like when gunners you thought were supposed to help, don't show up and when they do, they come gunning for you.

You will know what it's like to holler and despite all this, you still despise those who realize, “this ain't livin.” It oughta be but it ain't time for you to die.

And so will be the third mark in the third moment. It is no doubt sufficient by itself.

Second Mark Of Exhibited Beasts – Mind Exposed

Number two will be as easy as listening. This will expose many more of you who have yet to lose your skin. The hollow sounds coming out of your head will give you up for dead. All your words will testify to your super unnatural actions.

Curious to know what went wrong, the beasts will crack open your skulls with Willie clubs you legalized for constant use. They will find malfunction after malfunction especially in the center. The female half and the male half are unable to communicate due to a crevasse. This is why coldbloodedness is your highest achievement.

The beasts will remove all knowledge gained from the original people. At once, everything you've created will disappear also, including the bulk of your language. Some words will be spared so all may hear you plead your case.

”I didn't know so much was stolen,” you will say.

The beasts, not used to perjury, will slash your tongue with Willie's knife.

You will swallow tongue and words until both are coming out the side of your neck, as is fitting. Trying to hide behind the disguise the internet provides will not save you.

Though you choke, you continue to “pommise two twell dwa twooth” but do not yet die.

And so will be the second mark in the second moment. It is no doubt sufficient by itself.

First Mark Of Exhibited Beasts – Skin Removal

There is a beast for each of you. When the beasts come this time, it will be to mark you as exhibits for the final phase of the upheaval and the beginning of the fulfillment that restores all things. For the longest while, the Heat Speaker alone has been unable to correct the problem.

Number one will be the easiest because the beasts will only need to look at you. They will see you in all your shades doing what you do.

Your broken prize will be torn from you with talons and beaks. They will finish before you can speak.

The heat, having risen further, will cook your exposed lying flesh lying there blaming your skin lying back at you. You lie you fry. Even the steamy tears you cry will do as you, obscure the clear sky.

The flesh eaters, the scavengers and the decomposers will stay away and not save you. You shall not yet die. All afterlife parties will close until the stench passes, including heaven, but not Asamando.

And so will be the first mark in the first moment. It is no doubt sufficient by itself.

Pleasures of Nature


Nature is not just for the pleasure and contemplation of poets. Anyone can spend more time doing fewer things to allow room for the healthy pleasure of peaceful, unwinding moments. Restoration and appreciation can come from being very active with nature or from low-key relaxing. Either way it gives our spirit time to talk to us. Nature rejuvenates the spirit. It feeds the spirit. With this energy and downtime from the daily grind, our spirit is able to sort through the notes posted in our subconscious and provide clarity and guidance.

When it comes to benefiting more from nature, our haste has made us waste a vast amount of easy opportunities. Our tendency to hurry, along with our tendency to notice the same things over and over has caused us to pay more of our limited attention to birds, flowers and trees to the neglect of so much more of the readily available pleasures of nature.

Seeing the sun and moon is one thing but watching light and darkness switch places is witnessing the spiritual storytelling of rest and renewal. Each new night and each new morning another generation takes the exchange - never once dropping the baton.

Enjoying the transformation at dusk and dawn requires a slower gear and another level of awareness. Establishing a rapport with the wind is no different. If I weren't so busy I could prepare to learn from the wind instead of entreating it to tell me where it has been. I wouldn't lament it either when the wind seems heavy-handed. I'd thank the wind for its importance to every kind of weather. I'd mimic its constancy and change paces with the easygoing breezes, breaths and wisps. Each time it passed by, I'd welcome it as a natural reminder to the plentiful pleasures of nature.
