What Is Socialism? Simple Expanded DefinitionThird Creation – Order Of CreationUnity Consciousness #1439

.

(Part 9lv of 11)

Because we are in the twinlight twilight zone, all that has been going on for so long is now in question and in flux because we are transitioning from one truth to the other truth. Part of the process is the questioning of democracy and capitalism. More and more people are waking up to the inappropriateness of their society's ideologies. As a result, those who have enjoyed ill-gotten gains from those ideologies, are again out front trying to keep your logic like static cling to the status quo. One part of the process is to get you to support the justification of democracy and capitalism as being better than socialism, by confusing you about what socialism is.

We have addressed socialism, social and society on numerous occasions, so now we summarize many messages.

Current Societal Definition Of Socialism: free education and healthcare and a few other things free.

As usual, this is trickery. Socialism does not mean free. Socialism is a universal standard that existed before humans. Socialism means everything needed “to be,” is available when paid for with responsibility. If responsibility is not paid, then interest and fees accrue and will be collected by the universal po-po. Socialism seeks to avoid and minimize unnecessary imbalances that cause stagnations of progress. Democracy-capitalism, as currently muddily defined and practiced, seeks to maximize imbalance.

Furthermore, socialism is not limited to an economic system. Not only is that “cart before the horse thinking,” it's worse. It's actually the kind of flawed logic that also puts “the parts in the cart before the cart and before the horse and pretending the cart and the horse don't have anything to do with moving the goods and services around.”
To characterize socialism as an economic system is a fundamental flaw because the context is incorrect because the context does not start from a whole perspective.

Fuller Condensed Definition: socialism is a way of thinking and behaving in a social way.
Social thinking and behavior is full circle thinking and behavior that encompasses the two truths regardless of which truth is currently manifesting on top. Socialism takes into account all aspects of life.
The “equal” part of socialism is that everyone and everything is given equal consideration according to need. Socialism is a communal collective mindset.

As usual, there are many misconceptions and misrepresentations of socialism. Most countries that are said to be practicing socialism or are said to have tried socialism, were not examples of socialism. What they have and what they had are bits and pieces without the comprehensive context to make it all fit.
Furthermore, those countries that ever move foundationally towards socialism, are quickly undermined by democracy and capitalism.
Therefore, it is lazy logic to say socialism is a failure based on information obtained through the fecal smattered lens of democracy and capitalism via their institutional mouthpieces. Two of the chief mouthpieces are the anti-socialism education system and media, which do everything they can to keep your logic imbalanced.
In order to find socialism in pure practice, we can look at the world of creation uninhabited and uninhibited by us humans. It's called the ecosystem.
Secondly we can also find much closer examples of socialism in practice in human places considered primitive and undeveloped.

If you want to see socialism in practice, stick around as power shifts in all societies. More people and more creations are getting what they need based on basic needs as the organizer of priority. Included in this is much needed punishment.* The saying is true, “no justice, no peace.” Peace is coming because the principle of peace is coming.
As a result, justice is coming because everything is shifting, realigning and trading places as natural law asserts itself out front. The human reign of free will error terror is being rebalanced. The human use of free will to decide whether or not to practice socialism has had its day in the Sun. Socialism is no longer optional. The Greater Will is at work that no man or woman can curse or subvert. Socialism is being commanded among humans if humans are to survive this transition.

Under no circumstances does a social system approach what socialism is if that social system does not respect the Rights Of Creation in conjunction with the context of self and all else.
The Soviet Union, Cuba and North Korea are not examples of socialism. These and all current societies are closer to monarchies. See strip search.

It is accurate to say, socialism is reverse racism. Racism is a global system where one group as a collective uses all of the societies institutions to infringe upon the rights of another group as a collective. Socialism is the reverse of this logic, yet socialism is much more than humanity. Socialism is superhumanity that shows much respect for all creations in all dimensions because socialism logic understands humans are only able to do what we do because all other creations are doing what they do, hidden and revealed.
Mentally healthy humans do all they can to ensure all other creations are able to live optimally so humans can also. All of this kind of thinking and behaving is part of the beingness of socialism and being a socialist.

By the way, there will never be social security for any human without optimizing socialism.

Ancestor John Henrik Clarke said, "Africans did not go around saying I am my brother's keeper, they just kept him. Africans did not have a word such as socialism, they just lived socially. There was no word for civilization, they just lived civilly. There were no jails, orphanages, old folks homes or abandoned widows and widowers. There was no such thing as spirituality, they just maintained an integrated spiritual awareness throughout all aspects of life and daily living."

Seven Elemental Nature PowersPhase OneUnity Consciousness #1211

.

(Part 9de of 11)

In order to help us reduce confusion with religion, spirituality and anything else talking about divine, supreme, spirit or soul, we must go back to the basic basis upon which all of these ideas were founded. That basis is the elemental nature powers. Understandings regarding these nature powers have continued to be transformed and given many names used in many combinations.
I'll say it again. All ideology about a Supreme Being Creator, by any name, is based on the elemental nature powers. This is so because that's how it was in Africa and all ideology has roots in Africa, not just side shoots, but roots, no matter how far and wide the ideology has traveled.

Even what is presented below is a snapshot re-introduction, a small portion of the picture that changed many times in Africa before it left Africa and then continued to change.

Seven Elemental Nature Powers

(AE1 6/16)

1. Water
2. Air
3. Darkness
4. Lightness
5. Earth
6. Fire
7. Blood

In terms of being recognized as nature powers, the order is not exact except for 1-2, 7. The order of these elementals are not important at the moment until we move deeper into understandings of them. These should be viewed as occurring more simultaneously than consecutively. (NG1 345-6/363-4, 483/501, 520/538)

Seven Souls Of Life

(AE1 6/16,68-8/78-9, 86/96, 122-3/132-3 )

After the elementals were recognized as powers, they were then recognized as life forces that possessed the soul of life. These nature powers were reckonized as containing the soul of life, thus they were interacted with reverently continuously. The process of understanding moved from the first elemental power to the seventh, with seven being last on each list.

Humans recognized there was a Soul of Life in:
1. Light (Fire), evidenced by stars, heat, moon
2. Air, evidenced by breath, wind
3. Water, evidenced by fish
4. Earth, evidenced by food and periodic renewal
5. Plants, evidenced by food and periodic renewal
6. Animals, evidenced by food and periodic renewal
7. Blood, evidenced by birth (AE1 124/134 )

Each of these three set of seven elemental nature powers (power, soul, evidence) are forms of each other. They are the sem-same thing in different forms, using different words, and that sometimes have different functions and are in different stages of the process of life and existence.

As you can see, nowhere in this discussion am I talking about any type of God in human form. Yet, all religions today, are based on Gods in human form, even though the originating basic basis of those religion is not based on Gods in a human form.

In other words, life and existence has always been primarily based on that which is non-human in form.

Eventually, the seven elemental nature powers were recognized to be both life-giving and life-taking, thus possessing the powers of life and death.
Not understanding this has been a fatal contextual flaw in our logic.

So when we are reading about any religion or any spiritual practice that has existed from today all the way back to human origins, we must keep in mind, that the names being used are sources of confusion, that distract us from the real underlying meanings and messages, which is basically this: all supreme beings, at their root, represent the elemental nature powers that bring forth, change and sustain everything in the universe and are the fundamental drivers of all thinking and behavior of all creatures, everything in existence. When it comes to the elemental nature powers and their souls, who can escape them anywhere? They are all in your brain. They are the substance and the energy of all that is. Their principles and characteristics are the basis of everything. And this is why the more we understand the fundamentals of all else, the more we will understand self and know what we need to do and not do with the elemental nature powers in the form of our genetic potential which is a collection of natural resources inside us. Elemental nature power and their souls of life and their evidences: here they are everywhere.

According to Plutarch, "They do better who believe the legends told of Sut, Osiris, and Isis do not refer to either gods or men, but to certain great powers that were superhuman, but not as yet divine." (AE1 123/133 )

Dimensions of Space & TimePhase OneUnity Consciousness #1136

.

(Part 9ai of 11)

1. future, present, past
2. death birth, life, birth death

We know time transitions from one stage to another. Same is true for life.
Everything is a dimension, a layer, a level and everything is a transition of a former dimension.

Time is a dimension of motion.
Motion is a dimension of energy (spirit-soul).
Energy is a dimension of the Creator, the Circle, Circle Maker, Circle Dweller & Circle Filler.
All dimensions are part of this One and Only, One and the Same, Circle.
Within the Circle is the Zero Dimension, Double Zero Dimension, One Dimension and all other dimensions.
The Circle is the Zero, Double, One and all other dimensions.

Therefore all motion is taking place in one place, the same place.
Therefore, past, present and future all exist in the same place.

Just because the Circle is huge with lots of dimensions does not change it from being the same place.

The future is a function of preexistence. The present is a function of the future. The past is a function of the present. Evolution of preexistence and the continuation of eternal life is a function of the past.
After comes first. Before comes second.

All periods of time are functions, extensions, phases and dimensions of each other.
Everything exists in a Circle and everything moves in a Circle, thus the end of time is the beginning of time. In other words, the end of one motion is the beginning of another motion. This we already know. This is true, even if there is a pause, rest period or stagnation period, the end of one motion always leads to the beginning of another motion.

Stop talking about the past, the present and the future, creation and preexistence as if they are separate and took place in a separate space in a separate time.
There is only one space and one time, and it contains all dimensions of space and time.

Do you wanna know what time it is?
You must look to other dimensions of motion other than human calendars and clocks.

Does time stop when you stop or start moving? Then why should time change when you are “born” or “die.” The same time that has always existed just keeps on going round and round in the same space.

Everything that has ever taken place is still right here. This is so because the energy, continuing motion, and continuing influence is still here. We are the conversion of spirit-soul energy and its complementary form of matter.

Just because we are in different parts of the world does not mean we are not in the same space and time. It does mean we are in different dimensions of the same space and time.
Just because we are in different rooms does not mean we are not in the same space. It does mean we are in different dimensions in the same place. What if all buildings were just one large room? Would we then be in the same space?

Just because I'm asleep and you're awake, does not mean we are not in the same space. It does mean we are in different dimensions in the same space and time.
Just because I made a transition into this dimension before you, does not mean we were in a different space and time. So now you know about the Ancestors. And now you know why genderism and racism still exists. It exists because nothing ever goes anywhere. It just transforms and transitions into another dimension in the same space and time.
Quit talking about history ain't got nothing to do with me and saying things that dismisses the continuing causes and effects of everything on everything in all space and time.

When seeds germinate at different times, does that mean they are in a different space and time?

We are spirit-soul. We are energy. We are motion. We are time. And of course we are space.

Same logic applies to death, life and birth. Everyone and everything that has ever existed, still does exist in a different dimension in this same space and same time. All energy is still here. All matter is still here. It's just in a different form which is the same thing as a different dimension.
Everything that is different about anything is a dimension. Everything that is the same about anything is a dimension. Everything in every way in all spaces and for all time, is a dimension.
Where are you now and when did your time begin?

Place me anywhere in space in time
Find me repeating same things differently
As if stuck on forward, play and rewind

I'll say it again. Quit taking the express escape route from responsibility for the genderism and racism that exists today. You are the continuation of racist mentality. Unless you change your mentality by changing your understanding, you are responsible. Who do you think you are? Unless you contribute to changing the discriminatory constructs of society, you are responsible. Just being “nice” to people is not change enough. I don't care how hard you think you have worked to get what you got. Systems are in place and have not changed, only transitioned using the same energy in a different form. You can't just say forget the past and yet you don't want to give up the stuff that the past has given you – like a license to murder.
Quit listening to people who try to make you think everything taking place right now is due to their hard work or lack thereof and your hard work or lack thereof. No, everything is a continuation. It can be changed but it involves more than you simply working hard. Everything is integrated and influencing everything for all time – optimal energy and suboptimal energy in all spaces – and this is why climate change is about much more – it's about the future and reversing going forward after we've gone forward in reverse. The more we understand about these things, then we can get the most out of our motions, otherwise we will likely do things that give us false conclusions about cause and effect.
Do you know how hard I worked planting over an acre of land that had never been planted or prepared and was overgrown and embedded with garbage and other hazards?
I worked hard and the deer, insects, ticks, groundhogs and Japanese knotweed worked harder. Simply put, it takes a lot more than you in order to succeed or fail at anything. On the other hand, all my life I have reaped where I have not sown. Why? Because of other humans who are in this dimension and who have transitioned out of this dimension and because of non-human nature that has laid up in store for the days of my journey through this portion of space and time. Simply put, it takes a village communal collective to succeed or fail at anything. It takes the extended self in all space and time. And this is why we must know self and all else so we won't be using limited logic and misapplying the spirit-soul energy of resources. Sahara.

Space and time are a a duality of energy and matter. There is time within space and there is space within time.

Another example. Some say we were formed of dust. If so, then we are a continuation of dust that has at least existed during the future, present and past. The same dust from way back then to now.
Some say the breath of life was breathed into us by God. If so, then if God is eternal and has always existed, then so has our breath. If God lives on, then so does our breath and so does our matter in another form. We are of all space and all time. Khepera.

You had to die first in order to be born. Egg and sperm had to die in current form to become you in present form. Egg and sperm are still alive in the present space and time and in the space and time before you were born. Why? Because it's all the same space and time.

In order to change, the former must die, and then be reborn into the current.

This then tells us that the Creator had to die first in order to move out of Preexistence and into Existence in duplicated form. Death transition comes first because life already existed before death. The Creator already existed, had already lived and then had to die to be reborn into this Creation Space & Time that we call the Universe. Even us, we, were already alive as sperm and egg and then had to die in order to be born again. Does not the seed live on in the root and rest of the plant? Do not the nutrients in the soil live on in the plant and in what eats the plant? We are more because we are of all space and time. It's all inside us. And in all of this is salvation.
If the metaphor as above, so below, as within, so without, is true in any way, then the metaform must also be true in all ways, including

“As of space and time above, so of space and time below. As of space and time without, so of space and time within.”

You have been alive a long time...since the beginning in the waters of Nun. Not you the human, but you as spirit-soul energy and matter in a form and awareness you don't currently remember. You were there because you are part of everything. You have been getting packed and unpacked inside the genetics of your ancestors until finally you were formed into egg and sperm and reunited for this dimension because that is the type of birth this dimension requires. Other dimensions require different types of birth death transitions, and this is why we go into a different form when we leave this dimension but are yet still here.

Here today gone tomorrow supposes
A door which opens and closes
Only has one side to it

Space and time exist in a circle. We are right now only on one part of the Circle. The other part of the Circle ahead of us already exists and is the past forgotten while the other part of the Circle behind us still exists and is the future forgotten. Motion is the Circle of Life. This is why all things in this Universe are moving, revolving, orbiting – because they are moving around the Circle of Space & Time. Time changes because we are moving in motion., and because we keep going round and round in the same Circle, we keep going over the same time. It looks different because the form of things is different; however the spirit-soul energy is the same, and absolutely has not changed from the spirit-soul energy of genderism and racism. All of those same spirits are still here, and so are all the same spirits of those who go along to get along, the acquiescers who just want to be tossed a crumbling bone, the acquiescers who forget how they are strong, the butt-kissers, traitors and revolutionaries who inner-over-understand what's going on, and are here to help right wrongs. We are moving through space and time and we will return to the same place, just as Moon and Sun do and just as Earth does and just as stars of the Zodiac & Great Years do and just as comets and meteor fields do and just as every second, minute, hour and day repeats itself. And this is why it is possible to tell what time it is based on the repetitive motion of anything in motion. How is it that you keep having birthdays? Is it the past or is it the future? Or is it the present? All dates, events and motion repeat. Yes, what goes around comes around the mountain when she comes. We do not stay in one part of the Solar System or in one part of the Galaxy or in one part of the Universe (the Circle). We are moving around through all space and all time.

It is a sin not to synthesize to optimize; therefore we must syn, to not sin. Synthesis of egg and sperm brought you into existence. Synthesis of hydrogen and oxygen keeps you alive along with synthesis of spirit energy and matter. Synthesis of photons and other elements keep plants and you alive. Synthesis of elements keeps the Sun doing what it does. The ecosystem is an eco-synthesis. And the list goes on. Your senses function based on synthesis, and this is why, we are in trouble, because without synthesis, our senses function suboptimally. To synthesize is to bring together the pieces parts of the whole which is the same thing as re-member which is the same thing as Re-member yourself and remember all else. Synthesize yourself and re-synthesize all else. Reknew yourself and know all else. Optimal synthesis is harmony. Suboptimal synthesis is disharmony. Thankfully, space and time are always together and synthesized. In other words, we should not base things on space and time. They are what they are. We must focus on the all else within space and time because that is where our greatest impact lies.

Be not dismayed. The Universe tends towards harmony moreso than disharmony, because the beginning is the harmony of self-created eternal life. The Universe tends more towards the X than the Y. More toward synthesis than sin-thesis. The Universe has been here done this. Now it's trying to recalculate how to do some things differently while keeping everything the same, in order to return to harmony and an evolution of eternal life, thus adding another dimension to the Circle, and so the Circle grows and expands, and space and time lengthens because it takes longer to go around the Circle.

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but girl can't you see
You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
Listen to the melody cause my love's in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
- - lesser good to the greater good

Natural & Legal Law, Hell & High WaterYes Virginia There Is A Satan ClausePhase OneUnity Consciousness #1131

(Part 9ad of 11)

”Seed Sharing Deemed Illegal in the United States”

” West Virginia Seed Law” No person shall sell, offer for sale or expose for sale or distribution in this state any...vegetable seeds... without a certificate of registration issued by the commissioner.
It shall be unlawful for any person to sell, offer for sale or expose for sale any...vegetable seed within this state:
Unless the test to determine the percentage of germination required by section two of this article shall have been completed within the test period prescribed in regulations issued by the commissioner;
No political subdivision may regulate the registration, packaging, labeling, sale, storage, distribution, transportation or any other use of seeds.

”Virginia - Chapter 40. Seeds” Any person whose name appears on the label of seed shall obtain a license from the Commissioner before distributing, selling, or offering to sell such seed in the Commonwealth. The applicant shall submit the application on a form furnished or approved by the Commissioner and shall pay a license fee of $50 at the time of application.
Transport, offer for transportation, sell, or offer for sale seed or seed mixtures:
Unless the germination test to determine the percentage of germination required by § 3.2-4008 is completed within nine months prior to the month of transportation, sale, or offer for sale...

Still Not To Late To Get Wider Awake

Seed laws are relatively new yet there are laws like this all over the United States Of America.
Why is it important for these people to regulate the selling of seeds for everybody?
You must understand what this means for you to be locked into a system that tries to limit your ability to do sensible things. This is why you must save your own seeds. Don't sell them. Share them. Once they outlaw sharing seeds (seed libraries already), then share the food. It sounds crazy but what these people have done since Day 1 has been crazy so there is no limit, as we should know by now, to what they will do to keep control of you – their only source of power.

In all areas of life there are already numerous extremely egregious laws that somehow all of us smart mentally healthy adults still equate with freedom and democracy. Okay.

“Citizen Slaves Of All Colors Still Praise Self-Defeat, Unity Consciousness #296”

Newsflash: Governments do everything they can to make citizens inept dependents because the government is dependent on the acquiescence of citizens. We are normal based on an abnormal definition of normalcy, health, intelligence, freedom, love, education, etc.

What we must understand is that there is a significant difference between the suboptimal unnatural contexts of today most of us are using (because it's legal and culture) and the optimal contexts (natural law) that not enough of us are using.
Thankfully it will change come hell and high water. Faulty constructions such as US of America, though they come together quickly always collapse under its own dead weight. A little more water, a little more wind, a little more earth shaking and a little more light. Governments can't make us do things unless we fear them, love them, believe them, need them or need the things they regulate. God blesses those that got their own. And we already do in our genetic potential's ability to switch gears and begin the overcoming process of the cancerous logic in our system.

Yes Virginia, there is a Satan Clause and it's in societies in their legal laws.

Cycle & Recycle Seeds Of EverythingPhase OneUnity Consciousness #1130

.

(Part 9ac of 11)

As I realized everything I threw away, I could eat within 365 days, if I recycled it in my own space, much began to change and shift along with emphasis.
Since this Creation Ecosystem, is the Sum of All, once I made use of a sufficient level of this wealth to meet my basic needs, I realized I would only have to replace that which I threw away or could not recycle faster than needing it again.
Then I realized I could recycle 100% of all understanding. Everything else changed. The extended self can recycle 100% of all else.

Understandings say reverse the emphasis and reverse the impetus.
Understandings say reverse the magnetic pole that has a hold on logic, and change how energy flows.

If we focus more effort on understanding what we throw away, rather than on how we can get some more, we will be able to get more value from the things we already have.
Understanding must begin its recycle cycle through our logic before we begin to recycle other resources.
By default, recycling includes the extended self communal collective. Like all things, recycling takes place according to varying degrees of optimal and subotpimal.
A simple reason we must recycle more optimally is because the Universe is based on cycling and a repeat of cycling, thus cycle and re-cycle.
Every breath we take is re-cycled air that some other creature has breathed, even if it has been reconditioned, it is still used renewed air.
Moon and Sun cycle and recycle daily.
Our birth into this dimension called Earth, was a recycling process. We cycle and recycle into this dimension cycle and recycle out.

We must more consciously participate in the daily living recycling process, and not just for that which is outside of self.

We all can easily save the seeds from the fruits and vegetables we eat.

Saving seeds is putting money in the bank.

Investing seeds is more optimal. The metaphor comparable of the talents holds true.

”Saving Viable Seeds & Other Garden Variety Thoughts, Unity Consciousness #405”

”Sustainable Ecosystem Gardening Reminders, Unity Consciousness #313”

“Increase understandings to access the hidden meanings of what a seed is and what a seed looks like in all its forms. As you do, power you basically need and crave, power already saved, will begin to reveal itself as it has in Jinja and Djindja.” One clue as you begin to expand, one type of seed is melanin.
Seeds contain all we need, ready to grow 213.

A seed reformulates the form using the formula of the metaform.
A seed transforms the self within and the self without and merges the two into a duality equation expression containing multiple dualities. A seed is duality in waiting to evolve more, just as is Zero, thus all seeds are shaped in form of the Circle and its contents. A germinating seed is being born, into existence and out of pre-existence. Like us, as seeds, each plant seed is a child of beingness.
All of this is you, child of mine.
Child of mi-ne. Do re mi ne. Mi-ne ultimately boils down to na-na, N, Z, Zero, O. Thus, “child of mine” is the Creator saying you are the child of the Circle. The Circle is both the Seed and Seed Maker & Shaper. You are a cycle and recycle of the Circle, the Seed, the Totality of Everything & Nothing, the Creator.

When we say, “child of mine” in today's societal context, we are speaking and understanding in the suboptimal context. This suboptimal meaning is the part revealed to our understanding and it is out front in consciousness. Yet and even so, the optimal meaning is also being spoken at the same time as a shadow echo sound of duality. The optimal meaning is present but obscured and hidden behind the suboptimal meaning, but only to underutilized sensing abilities.

So what have we said?
Cycle and re-cycle is about much more than paper, plastic, glass, metal, etc.

A Competition Culture Fosters Many ProblemsUnity Consciousness #323

.

A competition culture fosters...

1. Individualism, meism, groupism, materialism, capitalism, separation and disconnection, just to name a few.

2. A “We must dominate” mentality. This is celebrated with “We're number 1! Can't be number 2!”

3. A mentality of “that which is not me or different from me is something I must compete with.” As a result, a competition culture fosters attempts to control others and to control nature. All differences are viewed and used as points of contention and competition.

4. Cold-bloodedness.

5. Illusion over reality.

6. A culture of violence on all levels in every way to all creation, including self.

11 Ugly Truths About Competition For LifeUnity Consciousness #322

.

Competition was created to justify the lower self character and behavior of a certain group of people.

1. Certain people are so consumed with fear of their own inadequacies compared to the strengths of other people and nature, these certain people go on the attack because that's what they would do if they were actually stronger so they assume others want to attack them.

2. Whenever competence has yet to be gained and there is a lack of confidence that this competence can be gained, competition is created. Competition is one of several necessary components to justify an adversarial relationship which is then always used to justify war. War is necessary to diminish competence in order to allow incompetence to reign supreme so that those who lack confidence can feel safe and secure by what is outside themselves. They are never safe and secure within themselves.

3. Competition is used to cause disharmony because harmony interferes with war.

4. Competition helps justify racism and other discriminations, including sexism, ageism, etc.

5. For the most part, competition through games is used to normalize the notion of competition so that competition in its most harsh forms is not as jolting, thus, these harsh forms of competition are tolerated until they also become normalized. This occurs because the main goal of competition is winning, rivalries, bragging rights, being number one, being champion and making history rather than competition being simply and solely about self-improvement of self and others. We know this is true when we celebrate victory as a result of mistakes made by other rather than by corrections made by self. These "victories" are always short-lived because internal weaknesses remain. In general, competition as a game is used to prepare people to accept battling for everything in life is just how it's supposed to be. As a result, people use their abilities to be the best battlers they can be. Battling is only part of it, health, which is completion, is the greater context. When a health context is at a higher level in the hierarchy of our consciousness, we are able to realize what life expresses through example metaphor: There are periods of sickness and periods of health. Life, for humanity and the rest of creation, is not always about being sick and battling. Although individuals and groups might be sick for their entire lifetimes, humanity has not been sick for its entire lifetime. From this we are able to understand the next cycle for humanity is one of health after this battle with sickness and its last desperate surge of upheaval. Thus, our main focus must be about completion, not competition. Our main focus must be about health, spiritual health. Even though the main battle is spiritual, the main objective is not to win or defeat an opponent. The main objective is completion of self, health of self, knowledge of self. This must occur simultaneously as we are also dealing with physical things and the other battles that exist. As we are dealing with these other battles, we will then understand how they came about and how to deal with them in a way that is not an attempt to win or defeat others but is an attempt to transcend and complete self. This in no ways means to not defend against that which offends the rights of creation. The example metaphors of food medicine and the immune system shows us there is an antidote and a system to aid us in the battle. The competition is to improve this knowledge. Competition is an inner self thing. The person must improve self to be a better person. No one becomes better by defeating another. The group must improve itself as a group in order to be a better group. No group is better by defeating another group.

6. Competition as a game is supposed to be about sportsmanship, self-improvement and being the best you can be. Everything associated with competition is supposed to improve character and carry over into life. Though competition as a game is promoted as such, rarely is it practiced as such. Instead competition is about gamesmanship, rivalry, winning, defeating, fighting, hating and hoping someone else makes a mistake, etc. Competition makes it acceptable for people who are not even in the game to behave in despicable ways. Even “booing” someone for being their best or making a mistake is bad behavior.

7. That which is naturally weak will automatically become obsolete. No matter what is done to delay this, it must and will happen because to be naturally weak is to also be unable to adapt to changes which then makes the weak even weaker. As a result, the weak must do whatever they can to keep others weak in order to make the weakness of the obsolete seem like strength. Competition for life is necessary to consume and occupy strengths so the weak can more easily rule over many.

8. “Winning” through any sort of competition only “provides momentary satisfaction. As a result, one must continuously compete to get more for oneself and more momentary satisfaction. These insecure feelings and insatiable desires subsequently make one more anxious and depressed.” (1)

9. Competition makes it a struggle to survive. “Once a fragmented pattern of interpreting reality and materialistic designs for living have been endorsed and adopted in a society they become self-perpetuating and self-sustaining in a capitalistic economic structure that is built around a wealthy elite with economically-challenged masses competing to survive.” (2)

10. Competition causes self-worth to be defined in terms of being able to compete. “...when a cultural worldview’s conceptual system is primed with assumptions that limit reality to what the five senses perceive, forces external to an individual can easily be manipulated to define human identity and worth. For example, external characteristics, such as physical appearance, income, position, and education become the basis for measuring human worth. Such externalization not only fosters a sense of insecurity, fearfulness, and alienation, not to mention unbridled materialism, individualism, and competition, but it predisposes individuals to anxiety, depression, addictions, and violence. It also results in the systematic privileging of certain individuals and groups over others by virtue of race, gender, and class.” (3)

11. Competition against any aspect of creation is competition against the higher spiritual nature of the Creator.

Competition Sounds Good But Isn't Good For LifeUnity Consciousness #321

.

Competition results in winners and losers. Already, this is not good.

Competition does not lead to balance, but imbalance. Do not be misled to think about competition in games and competition in economics to be same thing as competition for life.

First of all, a game is just that and not essential to life and existence. Second of all, supply and demand, as practiced by humans, is not even competition in the sense of a level playing field. The way supply and demand is practiced actually creates imbalance.

Thirdly, competition for life is something many prefer not to participate in but must because they are being attacked and the resources they need are behind enemy lines. Competition for life is the kind of competition where the attacker is the sole rule maker, the player, coach, commissioner and referee. This is not due to behaving respectfully but by behaving aggressively, deceitfully and murderously. Since competition for life is the status quo "MO" for societies, there can never be a fair chance, level playing field or equal opportunity until competition ceases.

As shown by multiple metaphors throughout creation, only through sharing of nutrients and resources and distribution of the same and redistribution of the same can there be balance, thus equity, thus equality, thus justice, thus peace, thus harmony, thus civilization. The last thing we need is democracy. It sounds good, but in its current form, isn't good. Democracy encourages competition for life which also isn't good.

Plants Are Not In Competition For Nutrients & ResourcesUnity Consciousness #319

.

”Plants compete for nutrients” is programmed logic repeated without analysis.

All the meadows, pastures, fields, forests, yards, lawns and much more, prove this to be a false notion. In all places where humans have not interfered, plants prove they are not in competition for nutrients and resources because there is no need to be in competition. These plants all live together, mix, intermingle, cooperate and thrive.

Even though it is a certainty that the vast majority of plants do not compete for nutrients, humans insist on sticking with the lie that plants are in competition.

Humans created the illusion of a competitive nature among plants because humans themselves were already competing against each other unnecessarily.

It is a false notion that humans must compete for resources. This lie came into existence and fullness in Eurasia during the Ice Age. The thousands of years of trauma in a cold-as-hell climate deformed tropical man into icehead boy because tropical man went from living amongst civilization, happiness and abundance to living amongst desolation, misery and scarcity.

As a result, these humans have transferred their suboptimal worldview onto plants.

One of the things that makes it seem like plants compete for nutrients is depleted soil. When the soil is not strong enough to naturally supply nutrients, it runs out and plants suffer. Humans take this to mean plants are competing for nutrients when instead it's because there are not enough nutrients in the soil. Humans choose to believe plants compete for nutrients because humans have done so many things that now cause humans to have to purchase nutrients. Because humans only want to pay for nutrients for the plants they want to grow, all other plants are seen as competitors for nutrients. When there are nutrient deficiencies in the soil, it is not because plants competed for the nutrients, it because the available nutrients got used up.

Thought Process To The Truth

If the above is not enough to know the truth, continue to follow the thought process of the intuitive self.

Plants and humans do not need to compete for nutrients so why would we thinks plants and plants need to compete for nutrients? Plants give humans the nutrient of oxygen and humans give plants the nutrient of carbon dioxide. There is more being exchanged by plants and humans. If humans and plants can live symbiotically, what makes us think that plants and plants cannot live symbiotically? We already profess to understand that some bacteria fix nitrogen, a nutrient, for plants. If bacteria help plants out and humans help plants out, simply by humans breathing, what makes us think plants don't help each other out? What makes us think plants are not pre-designed to work things out to share nutrients and resources?

We already know plants work together rather than compete when we talk about companion planting, three sisters and deep-rooted plants pulling up nutrients for shallow-rooted plants.

Despite these truths, we continue to believe that plants only look out for themselves and thus compete with other plants for their needs. We think this way about plants because that is what we deeply believe is the way humans are supposed to behave – be in competition for nutrients and resources. We think this way because those currently with the resources need us to believe they got the resources by competing for them and since they have the resources they must be the better, stronger and more capable and thus worthy of survival at the expense of those they have supposedly out competed. This is pure mental mutation mindset. Icehead boy must promote this type of thinking to pay tribute to the lower self ego which is master over him.

The universe is an ecosystem. An ecosystem is self-sustaining. Self-sustaining requires balance and re-balancing. If competition is the foundation upon which an ecosystem is based, that ecosystem must and will fail. Why? Because any system that competes within itself is a house designed to be forever divided and thus can only be on a certain path to less and less viability, then extinction.

The rules of competition within a system leads to extinction of the system. This means there can be no eternity on earth nor in Heaven. Heaven requires an eternity and an eternity requires an ecosystem. An ecosystem requires cooperation not competition.

Listen people! When competition is a foundational philosophy, there must be winners and losers. There must be adversaries. There can be no harmony. Love has no place.

If whatever philosophies and values and cultures we are following is not helping us reach these understandings, we must get rid of them now.

If competition for nutrients and competition for resources was truly the basis of life and existence, then there would be no such thing as evolution.

The only thing possible would be survival of a lesser and lesser quality. Evolution can only take place under conditions of thriving. Thriving cannot occur until understanding transcends the survival mode and the competition mode.

Time To Start Repeating The Truth About Plants & Humans

Plants give more to creation and return more to creation than they use. Plants are restorers not destroyers. Plants are net suppliers not net consumers. There is no need for plants to compete with each other. The ecosystem is based on cooperation and sharing which optimizes resources and creates abundance for everyone. The ecosystem is not based on competition and greed which suboptimizes resources and creates problems everywhere.

Why would we think plants compete for nutrients when plant material is the bulk of what is in compost and the bulk of what most organic matter is?

It can't be said enough that plants are net contributors of nutrients to the soil.

Plants are a major part of the cycle of nutrients that allows the ecosystem to self-fertilize by not wasting anything.

The ability to live by contributing to one's own needs and each other's needs is a primary component of what sustainable is and what an ecosystem is. It is what the Creator is all about.

In an ecosystem, plants help provide their own nutrients as long as what humans do is helpful not harmful.

For these reasons and more, plants are not in competition for nutrients and resources. If there is a nutrient problem, it is not about plants competing but about humans depleting, more than likely. Curiously, plants seem only to compete for nutrients in human gardens but nowhere else where man has not interfered with the Master Gardener.

By absorbing the essential nutrient of understanding, we can extend what is absolutely true about plants and know the same must be true about humans. If competition for nutrients and resources is a necessity, then this must mean this is not a world of abundance which also means no one can live an abundant life. Abundance for humans can never be achieved in the context of competition. Abundance for plants that is taking place could not be taking place if what was really happening among plants was competition for nutrients and resources. If competition among plants was actually taking place, fewer and fewer plants would survive and then fewer and fewer survivors would survive. This cycle would continue until the system broke down so much, no one could survive. This is exactly what has been happening during the Dark Age terrorism of icehead boy. He became an adversary to himself because he denies knowledge of his true self. He needs everybody to do the same in order to help him prolong his demise. As a result, he orchestrates competition any way he can.

A Good Offense | Violence Ends At HomeUnity Consciousness #20

Based on the continuing results of sick societies, it remains obvious most do not have the kind of home training that will ever cause a change to civility. We must not judge things based on being able to be in the same countries, schools, communities, workplaces, religions, bedrooms, restaurants, sporting events, holidays and traditions, etc. The behavior or the lack thereof tells the truth of thought processes being taught at home. Nothing else should be expected, hoped or believed. Anything that appears to be a good thing coming from them, as Kwame Ture puts it, “is the result of a double lie.”

In the article, “Violence Begins At Home,” we are reminded children deserve a good defense. This list contains strategies for a good offense – which is always the best defense.

1. The freedom of children is dependent upon our political engagement in the struggles for justice. We cannot ignore the world and still retain the ethical credibility of any religious faith. To love one's neighbor means making a political commitment to make the world a habitable place for one's neighbor. (Segregated Outcomes For Children)(paraphrased)
2. Values cause failure or success.
3. Understand the neter of climate change/global warming.
4. Snap out of it.
5. Black out.
6. Parents Coping.
7. Get small, act large. Get large, act small.
8. Learn better habits.
9. Free the mind by expanding it until it is larger than that which tries to confine it. To the degree we increase our strength is the same degree we dilute the strength of our enemies including the enemies within.
10. Get healthy.
11. Understand genetic capabilities.
12. Understand how chronic illness mentality conflicts with the Rights Of Creation.
13. All power or all perish. To the degree we increase our strength is the same degree we dilute the strength of our enemies and transform the lower self within.
14. Learn and teach how to process thought.
15. A new approach to relationships.
16. Cancel cable, get away from the TV and study.
17. Get fundamental.
18. Redirect resources.
19. Get real.

African Perspective

Total self is more capable than incomplete Wizards, Wicked Witches, wizardry and witchery.

Despite big buildings, flying machines, spying machines, millions and minions working for things under the duress of surviving, evil is weakened as the aspects of self work towards collectively beneficial purposes. Knowledge of self is more powerful than human-made might or human-made fright.

A determined mind, determined courage and determined heart, can save a captive spirit by using natural abilities. The extra part of extraordinary comes from the extra energy of working together.

Nature meets each person's efforts and leads them to truth.

Witches, Wizards and act-alikes will melt. Climate change is part of the heating up necessary for the melting process. Climates are changing on all levels – physical, spiritual, emotional and mental.

Extensive spy network that leaves no stone unturned and no person unspied upon. All-seeing eye.

Dreams are one of many Ways Of Knowing. The more the self is unified, dreams provide clarity. When dreams are usually a hodgepodge of strange scenes, so is the life being lived.

Even without mother and/or father present or physically alive, each person can become who they are intended to be.
Mother and Father are in each person's DNA. Each person is the current unique combination of their ancestors.

Each person must learn for themselves they have power. Power comes from learning about self. Each step taken towards learning self provides power to take the next step.

Try to impose their way of living upon others. They have ownership of land, things and other people but do not own self-control. This is the fatal flaw of the powerless.

In brains, heart, courage, natural sense, purity, truth and innocence, Wizard is lacking and has no real power over and no power to help those on their way home. The best Wizard can offer is trinkets and a ride to security in a balloon he can't control because he doesn't understand universal dynamics. This makes Wizard the odd one out.

Natural resources. Black matter.

Wizard wants to take whatever gives others power. Yurugu wants to unseat the Creator.

European African male has to certify everything, otherwise it's not valid or legal.

Water and the other primordials will be the downfall of Babylon and similar places worldwide. Use the primordials now to break the spell.

Being a friend and helping them on their journey and out of trouble and danger, kills wickedness. Aim not to hurt the enemy, aim to help free others from the clutches of evil. A good force towards good is more powerful than a good force towards evil. It is better to focus on tools than weapons.

The natural world outside of us and inside us exposes who has the real power. Once nature exposes fraud, its up to us to use the rest of our senses to investigate it. The Wizard is powerless without machines and false notions.

Path to knowledge of self follows genetics and also winds the way DNA spirals. Galaxy is the larger road home.

All institutions and cultural mainstays, especially military, law enforcement, education, religion and media. Ecosystem.

The Creator will keep all promises to the obeyors and breakers of The Law.

“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 )

African Health History | Fundamental & ComprehensiveCellular Level To Entire Self

(Part 1 of 3)

Fundamental Health Is Cellular Health

Historically, as Africans, we have been more in tune with the workings of our bodies. It is only in certain societies a Dark Age exists causing us to lose consciousness of a fundamental fact. Physical health comes from the health of cells. Health succeeds or fails in cells. We must begin at the cellular level if we intend to understand our bodies and health fundamentally.

Our bodies, organs and systems are all made of living cells. Each cell must get what it needs in order to function properly. Each cell must also avoid or get rid of what it doesn't need.

Beyond The Cellular To The Intracellular

Now we must go one step further and go inside cells. This is the intracellular level. We know each cell has a nucleus and in each nucleus are genetic instructions called DNA. We might not be aware DNA also needs nutrition. DNA is composed of the elements we are supposed to eat.

Clearly, cells are one of our many resources. Cell going through their processes and functions means cells are working. Our cells are working for us. Shouldn't we give our cells what they need to do the job? All we have to do is give cells the materials and they know how to do everything else.

Constant Divine Assistance

Cells function due to the power and ability of the Creator. Cells working inside us and for us is the Creator working inside us and for us. Everything cells do is actually the Creator creating and recreating inside us.

Comprehensive Health Must Address The Entire Self

Health is more than just physical health. In fact, health cannot exist without the health of all four inseparable aspects of self - spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Although these parts are stated separately to remind us of their existence and need for attention, they are inseparable. Whatever affects one of the four aspects of self, affects the other three. This must be true since they are part of a system which means integration and interaction.

I contend, when cells malfunction during our adult lives and that malfunction persists until a noticeable disorder exists, we are to blame. We have not given the entire self the attention it needs to maintain health. Somewhere in our thinking, choices and daily practices, we have neglected the tandems of fundamental/comprehensive, micro/macro and small picture/big picture.

Until we go to the cellular, intracellular and then to the entire self we won't be able to get to the bottom of things where the cure lies. Neither will be able to get to the top of things where the cure into harmony ties.

6 Fundamental Keys To Life & ExistenceWays Of Knowing

Fundamental Keys & Extensions

These are but a small portion of many original, fundamental keys. Even so, these six keys are exactly what we need to unlock our potentials. These “extensions” are derived from using the keys. The ability to extend knowledge into more knowledge is one of the main reasons we must use these keys.

KEYS

1. As above, so below.

2. Know yourself.

3. Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.

4. Everything is free.

5. It takes a village to raise a child.

6. One in many, many in one.

EXTENSIONS

1. As within, so without, As without, so within.

2. Know all else.

3. What satisfies also purifies.

4. Basically, resourcefully, naturally, yet nothing is free of responsibility.

5. It takes shared values to raise a village.

6. The singular and plural are in each other.

As you can see, "lucKY" is not one of the keys.

These six keys, in conjunction with self-study, give us entry to what is otherwise inaccessible.

Where Are These Keys? Where Are Our Keys?

Once again, we are reminded these keys are in our hands. Not only do we have the keys, we have the locks. These locks are in us. Now tell me, what else can be easier?

Yet, we linger outside closed doors and cry and moan and protest and hurt. Our children die and are dying. Those still with us physically are on their way to the level of deadness in us. Yet and still we devote several, precious natural resources to tithing, socializing and self-gratifying even though the return on investment to satisfy our needs and concerns, does its own testifying.

Instead, we must re-devote our natural resources to their maximizing which would move us beyond a stage focused on surviving and into higher consciousness where all else is ours for the realizing.

All it takes is effort. Simple, back-to-basics actions will turn the keys we have, inside the locks we have. Once we snap out of stupidity and take charge of what is in our hands, we will put key to lock, key to lock, key to lock... As these locks open, potential energy will be released in us, in Earth and in the Universe.

What will life and existence be like then?

Their execution may have to be reshaped but the principles for progress and health are timeless and powerful, no matter the year because the problems have the same fundamental causes.

Consciousness raising indeed is what is needed. Kwame Toure addresses this in the video, Converting The Unconscious To Conscious

History, created greatness, land, resources. Present understandings regarding these concepts, and more, are a matter of mis-education that is blocking the memory that is resident in our DNA.

In addition to what Brother Ture suggests, here are 5 views from others, including myself, that state fundamental problems and pretty much tell us, in essence, where the bulk of our focus should be.

1. “Many problems stem from land ownership and water rights. Land and water provide the ability to meet basic needs.” From, Our Fatal Flaw – The Absence Of Harmony. The Root Cause Of Many Problems.

2. Power is land and the tools to work the land. This idea is borrowed from Dr. David Deberry, ”Forty Acres – Power And Justice”

3. Willie Lynch adherents know what power is and how to get it, they say, ...”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.” In other words, take, mis-educate, then dominate." (1)

4. “When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the Land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible” (Jomo Kenyatta, former President of Kenya, African Nationalist and leader of the Mau Mau rebel group)

5. ”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.” (Achebe, Chinua, Things Fall Apart) and Family Relationships | Why Things Fall Apart And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8j)

6. Malcolm X has told us in “There's No Such Thing as a Non-violent Revolution,” that “revolution is based on land, land is the basis of all independence, land is the basis of freedom, justice and equality.”

What is more fundamental?

Update 5.26.17

What is more fundamental is spirit-soul. Call it spiritual only or soulful only if you choose. No matter what, we must increase our understandings of the spirit-soul aspect of self and the spirit-soul aspect that exists in all else. We can always begin within and by observing and listening. We can also begin with studying spirituality and its lesser form, religion.

What is more fundamental to help us achieve necessary understandings for our evolution, is understanding fundamental things such as origin, beginning, dimension... This reconstruction process of contextual framework allows everything else to logically fit into proper position and automatically simultaneously initiates the process of reconfiguring all other connections, until the importance of land becomes so brilliant, that it outstrips our glorification of money, just as we already understand the Sun is superior to all lights on Earth shining at once.

What is more fundamental is a steady, continuous improving integration (optimizing as opposed to maximizing) of all fundamentals.

Essay & Comparisons | Television Content & Nutrition

Nutritious Or Toxic?

What enters the senses will either help or harm. It will be nutritious or toxic. If we cannot clearly identify the nutrition content of television content, it is more than likely toxic.

At a minimum, we should always do a quick benefit/detriment analysis. We should be able to identify things we are learning/confirming and whether or not those things are helpful or harmful. We must be careful not to fall into the trap of thinking there is anything innocent or objective on television. All content has intent.

We must also be careful if we use television as an escape, to unwind, as entertainment or as a time filler. There are no time fillers that are not also mind fillers. Likewise, there is no such thing as television content where thinking is not involved. We are always thinking, even when sleep. If we are not aware of this, then we are also not aware of the effects of television programming on our subconscious thoughts, waking minds and sleeping minds.

The Power Of Television

As with all technology, its use determines its usefulness. Television could be used to enhance life but due to the preponderance of toxic content it contains, it limits life.

In other words, television is a powerful tool. It is so powerful it is being used to get us to pay a lot of money for the device and then a lot of resources for other things. It also gets us to exchange value for the privilege of certain programming.

Many of us are paying for the weapon, the ammunition and repeatedly aiming it ourselves. We are committing mentacide and spiritcide in the name of something supposedly beneficial, helpful, informative, truthful; therefore supposedly nutritious.

Sankofa Definition & Pronunciation | Continuity For All Time And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8o)

Sankofa (sahn-KO-fah)

Alternate pronunciation, Sankofa (sahn-Kau-fah) per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dDhLBzF4CI

Read Part 8n - Past Facts & Ancestors Causes Us To Not Let Go And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8n)

Continuity For All Time

The past is alive whether we remember it or not and believe it or not. Time is part of the interconnectedness of all things. Future time, present time and past time depend on each other. Continuity of life is not possible without continuity of time.

Continuity makes life possible because continuity makes motion possible. For individuals, families, communities and societies to have continuity, their motions must incorporate all time and all history plus all of their human and Divine genealogy. In order to know who we are and where we came from, this is so.

Going With The Natural Flow

Continuity is the flow. It is an ongoing process for all time. We must learnderstand this flow and become a flow-er in order to flower. In fact, flowers flower because of the flow within them and the flow around them near and far plus the flow of interconnections. It takes no less for us.

We must stay in motion according to our intended process of development in order to maintain the feel and rhythm of time and everything else in motion.

It's up to us to go with this universal flow.

It's us to us to connect with the continuity of past knowledge that flowed into the rest of the world from Alkebu-lan.

Remember! Sankofa! (1)

Sankofa [sahn-KO-fah] is a symbol and principle that serves to remind us that the past is a “resource” and not merely a “reference.” One interpretation, among several, is “Go back to the past and recover it.” Yet another one is “Return to the source.”

Sankofa may be interpreted as an injunction to “learn from the past” and finally as an order to “never forget the past and path you made when moving ahead.”[Anyone who says, “that was in the past” or “forget the past” or “that was a long time ago” is leading us towards amnesia of knowledge of self and thus, a life of motion without continuity.]

There are at least five meanings associated with Sankofa. First, it suggests the value of reflecting on the past. Second, it also suggests a person who self-consciously reflects before moving forward with a decision. Third, it represents self-definition, identity, and vision. Fourth, it represents an understanding of personal destiny and collective vocation. Finally, fifth, Sankofa is said to represent the repossession of something forgotten, misplaced, or lost. [Sankofa] suggests that the path we have made holds the potential to understanding the present and the promise of the future. It describes an ongoing process, principle, and value of historical and cultural recovery.

Although valuing the past is part of the general African tradition and heritage, going back to the Nile Valley, as part of a process of historical recovery, has particular relevance for Africans today, especially having undergone the holocaust and its subsequent mutations into other forms of oppression. Many writers, leaders, and intellectuals see cultural and historical recovery as essential to forward development based on the cultural integrity of Africans as a people.

In an age when African descendents are told that their pasts are at best irrelevant to the present and at worst nonexistent, unworthy of discussion, or having no bearing on the present, [Sankofa] serves the useful purpose of reminding African descendents of their moral obligation to remember and recognize the sacrifices of the past [and the much longer history of successes, before, during and after physical enslavement and even during the ongoing mental enslavement that has shackled the spiritual].

Sankofa as a process and principle of recovering history functions as a reminder that the past is not merely a referential source of origins and artifacts, but a source of paradigms, that is, exemplary models of thought, reason, morality, and practice. The past, then, offers us a model of excellence, whereas history provides us with many lessons that inform our current self-conception and social identity.

Schemas & Reading | Tools For Learnderstanding

I met a third grader, who taught me the meaning of the word “schema” - basically a tool used to help you learnderstand something else.

She used the schema of phonics to help her pronounce the title of the book, “Eloquence.” Then she asked how many pages the book contained. She turned to the last page. “97 pages,” she said in a way which indicated that was way too many pages for one book.

“Would you rather have $1 or $97,” I asked.

”$97 dollars,” she quickly responded.

Each page is like money I told her using the schema of analogy. I stopped short of saying more, to give this 9-year-old time to reflect.

Reading, learning and understanding are some of the greatest gifts we have. These abilities are worth far more than money. We can use them over and over. Each time we read, learn and understand we gain more abilities for reading, learning and understanding. We also gain greater awareness of how to use other capabilities and resources.

This is the value of using the schema of reading as a tool for learnderstanding. Reading allows us to build enormous amounts of valuable knowledge that is immediately beneficial. Reading and learnderstanding never lose value because they both increase in value the more we use them.

Freedom | Growing With Discipline

Who expects a one-year-old to know more than a five-year-old, a 10-year-old to learnderstand as much as an 18-year-old or a 20-year-old to have accomplished as much as a 40-year-old?

The older we get, the more the momentum of growing should propel us to higher awareness of self and more complete usage of capabilities. This positive correlation frequently turns negative, right around the time we begin to think we're grown.

For the first 18-22 years, most of us move away from parental support towards independence; but once we crossover into adulthood years, we move towards dependence on societal systems rather than personal resources.

The mis-education we've been receiving all along finally gathers its own steam and does what it is intended to do - put us on a course of diminishing returns rather than expanding possibilities.

One morning, I was given the ability to vote, buy alcohol and make all my own decisions. A variety pack of rights was handed to me just because I was a few hours older. I went to sleep with limitations and woke up without boundaries. In those eighteenth-birthday moments, I felt superhuman. I could now construct my life the way I wanted. I also felt relief for having survived the wait. Then came a rush of excitement from realizing I had full-grown rights without the pressure to hurry up and be fully grown. I was an independent dependent.

Many early decisions were restless rebellions against the discipline imposed on youthfulness by parents, teachers, society and broke-itis. I was going to rectify all of this in just 4 years compared to the previous 18 that still left me wanting. I rushed ninety mountain miles away to discover a new world of out of sight freedom at college. I graduated, found work, earned more debt, paid bills, made babies and wasted “my” money. I proved I could make it on my own, do whatever I chose, whenever I chose and in any crazy way I chose. Still without the proper initiation into adulthood, trials by wildfire ensued.

The basic wisdom of “a hard head makes a soft butt,” didn't register until well after my behind was fully tenderized. In between the mostly avoidable bumps and bruises, the same lesson kept repeating. Once I began listening, especially to my spirit, maturity also began. I realized I wasn't grown-up at all because I did not welcome the discipline required to make my own decisions. The lesson then became clear. Discipline is freedom. Freedom is never free because it comes with responsibility. I somehow missed this point the first several times through the fire.

I began to embrace discipline in my quest to become better. I decided to accept responsibility for my fear. That one decision has been more powerful than feeling superhuman. It unlocked the cell of concern containing what other people think and do. I began to study. I stopped focusing on earning a living and started focusing on returning to living. I reconnected with the natural world I descended through. So much more is now possible.

There is richness in an appreciation for life and its privileged responsibilities. If I'm going to contribute what I was born to contribute, I will always need discipline. Once again I'm using the same resources I've always had but pushed aside on my way out the door. I'm finally growing freely.

It is time that we become conscious. If we become conscious we will make rapid advance. - - Ancestor Brother Kwame Ture, minute 24:55 (1991)

What Is Consciousness

Consciousness is awareness. Awareness increases through learnderstanding. This is of no surprise since the ongoing process of awareness is the same as the ongoing process of knowledge of self, both of which are the same as the ongoing process of learnderstanding.(See, “African Consciousness Called Me A Stupid Nigga And Thankfully So” and UC#282, “Consciousness, Conscience, Ego, Morality, Immorality Definitions”)

Necessity Of Communal Living & Values

A communal family shares the same worldview and lives in close proximity to each other in order to operate completely or overwhelmingly as a self-contained, self-supported, self-determined and self-governed group. Values are shared. Other resources are also shared. No resources are wasted, especially due to unnecessary duplication.

This is optimal because it is making the most of what everyone has. Making the most of what one has is an individual/group and group/individual thing. Though this is no longer true for many families, moving in this direction must become priority.

Family Definition

The communal family consists of parents, caregivers, siblings, relatives, friends, elders, ancestors, the rest of the natural world and the Divine. It also includes those outside recognized blood lines but considered as family for any reason and those who purposefully contribute to our knowledge of self, thus, showing ME love, even if not recognized as family.

Related Proverbs:

Necessity is the mother of invention that solves problems only if there is awareness of the necessity. It's easy to see how being unaware of necessity feeds problems.

What contributes to awareness does not diminish awareness. In other words, what is good is not simultaneously bad. It has no negative side effects.

What improves our lives does not involve tradeoffs, side effects or create different problems.

It takes shared values to raise a child.

Expanded Definitions: What Is Money? Quotes, Proverbs & A Joke.

Basic Definition

Money can be anything that can serve as “a medium of exchange that facilitates trade.”

Expanded Definition

Money is a standard measure of value that makes it easier to trade different types of resources. (From ”Expanded Definitions: What Is Time – Money? Keeping Track of Time & Climate Change”)

In other words, money is a temporary placeholder for the value of natural resources.

Money has no value unless there is a resource it represents. When a person works for money, that money represents multiple resources (time, energies, choices, beliefs, values, knowledge, talent, abilities). This is why businesses have departments called human resources.

Illusions

1. You need money to live.
2. Money means success.
3. Money is evidence of the truth.
4. Money is power.

Realities

1. Money is a part of the economic system, resources are a part of the ecosystem.
2. You only need the ecosystem to live.
3. “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” (Dr. Booker T. Washington)
4. Success or failure depends on how well we use available resources.
5. The biggest part of how we make it hard on ourselves is to misuse and under-utilize our resources. In other words, you have not because you waste a lot.
6. “Power is not money but to define money.” (Dr. Bobby Wright)
7. It's possible to have money and still be in slavery because “slavery is when all life sustaining institutions [basic needs] are controlled by another group.” (Dr. Bobby Wright)
8. If anything, make money that makes you versatile, not servile.
9. Faith in money is a vice of the highest cost and ultimate price.
10. Money is a tool forged from resource, only a fool sees it as the only recourse.
11. Instead of saving money, we should be recycling money.
12. It's not possible to believe in anything greater and be limited by anything lesser.
13. You don't need a receipt to exchange a belief.

15. Wages are a wager.
16. “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.” (Proverbs 11:28)
17. Capitalism keeps you focused on its money instead of your resources.

If you employ your resources via true education - knowledge of self, self-study and independence of basic needs - life will no longer teeter on the narrow fulcrum of money but rest securely on the broad foundation of resources.
