GOD’S LIVES MATTER, so YOUR Life Must Matter, For Greater is the SOURCE that is in you, then the Sources that are in the world…….
Recently, I was listening to a recording of a Neville Goddard Lecture “All Things Are Possible” narrated by Dave Wright; in it these words were stated…. “Educational Darkness” …. Immediately I thought of a book I had read “The Mis-Education of the Negro, written by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Woodson focus was on the weakness of the Eurocentric Based Curriculum that failed to include African American History and Culture. My initial thought was this… If, I was mis-educated – then the source from which I obtained the knowledge was also mis-educated, for they knew as much or less than I did about the individuals that was forcefully brought to these shores and made to forget any knowledge of themselves.
Now, it’s not my intent here to share with you the brutality of the treatment of these individuals, for all are knowledgeable of the treatment they endured during that time and the many years that followed even after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Slavery in my opinion was like the Crucifixion of Christ where the focus was more on the Crucifixion (Cruelty of Treatment) and not the Resurrection (THE NEW BEGINNING) and as such, I grew not wanting to continue learning of my ancestral beginning as slaves and placed more emphasis on being accepted as an American, and even in during this – treatment was still a critical factor.
What went wrong? My thoughts are that a people lost sight of the true meaning of Humanity – LOVE and COMPASSION – and not accepting what they were given dominion over – Allow me to share some EDUCATIONAL LIGHT: “And the CREATOR said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth (Genesis 1:26).
Think on these words: LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS – Now! what does this tells YOU about YOU?
AUGUST ‘2019 should be a CELEBRATION for all of us, for AUGUST ‘1619 denotes the arrival of our ANCESTOR on these shores and marks the start of OUR (Negro, Colored, Black, African American) History in this Country a HISTORY that should not be laid to REST, merely because we call ourselves AMERICANS …
