WHAT DO YOU MEAN "THINK LIKE A MAN?"

This post was not initially intended to be on my blog. It was at first a response to a cousin of mines, who trusts and felt comfortable enough with me, to question me and ask for my advice on a few dilemmas that she is dealing with. And since her problems are not exclusively hers; I felt compelled to share a portion of my response to her, thinking that this could possibly help other women(even men) in similar situations. So here we go:

First of all, it is not a requirement for you to think like a man no matter what your situation is. Secondly, how would you know how to think like a man when as a whole, we do not know what a real man looks like, let alone how he thinks. Thirdly, what does it mean to think like a man? When you are thinking like a real man, you are thinking like God(that's right). The Bible says that "all men have fallen short of the glory of God." But if we wouldn't be lazy and if we would study more, we would have saw that it also tells us that "man is the glory of God." So that means that 'man' has and is falling short of mans' potential. Notice that I didn't say 'his' potential. I said 'mans' potential because that scripture is talking about male and female, it is talking about an intelligence or being as a whole. The word 'God' means force and power, and God was a force and power long before the word God came into existence. God is the SUPREME BEING. Supreme means the highest or greatest and 'being' means to exist; so therefore, man is the Supreme Being and 'Glory of God' even in our weakend state. Spirits do not have gender but we make the mistake of giving spirit a gender because of the vessel that it is being manifest through. Now a spirit can be masculine or feminine but not male or female. Even the alcohol(which is called spirits) that you drink is not male or female. A man and a woman can think the same thoughts and possess the same spirits no matter how unnatural they may seem to both. For example, both male and female can possess the spirit of: compassion, mercy, forgiveness, peace, discomfort, anger, rage, creativity, love etc., etc., etc. Sure there are things that men can do that women can't do and vice versa, but that's the divine order of things. All males aren't men, just as all females aren't women. A boy is not a man and a girl is not a woman; they both have the potential to grow their respective natures. Anything can be a 'God'(including you, Psalms 82:6) if it has force and power. If you can't stop smoking cigarettes, it is a god over you. If you can't control your appetite, it is a god over you. If you are addicted to drugs, alcohol, sleep, a man or anything that keeps you from being who and what you can be, it is a God over you. Most of the times it is our own low desires that suppress the God within us. Women have been mistreated, oppressed, and lied to in this world(system); and that includes in and especially religion(all of them). So what is most important is that you know who you are, and not just what the Bible says or what the preacher says(no matter how good they sound); because they can and have been manipulated, and the proof is in the condition that we have been led to. WOMAN!!! You are the book that must be written and read because it is through you that all the saviours must come. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that whatever God wants man to have, it has to come through a woman. Do you see how great you are? No matter how great Jesus was, he had to come by Mary. You must not be satisfied in just knowing that God is within you, because 'The God' within you wants to come out and become you. You are the seed(child) of God. So that means that you have all the properties in you to grow into and produce all over again that which you came from. Help your man by being the best that you can be as a woman. I'm sorry but Teddy Pendergrass is wrong. 50/50 LOVE DOES NOT WORK, IT TAKES 100/100. I don't want no woman to give me half of her. If you can't give me your ALL, goddammit I don't want you. And you have the divine right to demand the same back. If the best that you can be is more than he is doing right now as a man, do your best to understand his nature and find creative ways to encourage and inspire him to be the best that he can be without beating him up, because he is a conquered, destroyed and dead man. And when he does raise up and HE WILL, I guarantee you that he will destroy nations if he has to in order to protect that which gave hime life, YOU. So in conclusion, don't tell me that you have to think like a man. All you have to do is be your beautiful self, and just make sure that you are being yourself. "SELF IS THE GREATEST THAT YOU CAN BECOME, AND ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT IS WHAT YOU BECAME."

Peace and Love!!!

A WORK IN PROGRESS HUH!!!

"I'M A WORK IN PROGRESS" HAS BECOME A PRETTY POPULAR STATEMENT NOWADAYS, BUT I'M AFRAID THAT IT HAS BECOME A LITTLE TO CLICHE'-ISH AND BASTARDIZED; BECAUSE I FIND THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO I COME ACROSS THAT USE THAT STATEMENT HAVEN'T TRULY MADE ANY REAL ATTEMPTS AT ALL TOWARDS SELF-IMPROVEMENT. THEY SAY THAT "TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS," BUT TIME ALONE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING TO IMPROVE OUR CONDITION(S) WITHOUT CONSCIOUS EFFORT(S). IN THIS LIFE THAT WE LIVE, TO NOT TAKE ANY REAL ATTEMPTS TOWARD SELF-IMPROVEMENT AND MASTERY, IS TO ACTUALLY TAKE A STEP BACKWARDS BECAUSE 'TIME' GOES ON WITH OR WITHOUT US, AND NO MOTION FROM AN INDIVIDUAL MEANS THEY ARE IN A BEHIND(DEAD) STATE OR POSITION. SO THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR SOMEONE SAY "I'M A WORK IN PROGRESS", THAT PERSON MAY VERY WELL BE "A WORK IN REGRESSION OR RETROGRESSION" AND THEY MAY BE CRYING OUT FOR HELP. SO IF YOU TRULY ARE "A WORK IN PROGRESS" YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD DO YOUR BEST TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE, AND IN RETURN YOU WILL BE GIVEN THAT WHICH WILL HELP YOU TO REACH YOUR SAID GOAL. YOUR REWARD MAY OR MAY NOT COME FROM THAT INDIVIDUAL, BUT IT IS SURE TO COME BASED UPON THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE.

Peace and Love!!!

"WHOSE YOUR DADDY?"

It is said in the Book Of Hosea(4:6) that God said "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." If you notice it doesn't say the people, all people, people, or everybody is destroyed. It says 'My' (Gods') people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Now wouldn't you think that Gods' people would be in the know? Well according to this verse and passage, that is not necessarily so. Before we go any further let us understand that the word 'destroyed' doesn't mean vanquished or gone out of existence.

In a nutshell the word 'destroyed' means that said object is damaged to the point that it cannot be used in the manner that it was originally created or made for. If one was to take the short time to read that little passage, it would explain that the knowledge that the people of God were(are) lacking is the knowledge of God, and with greater understanding that means the knowledge of themselves or their very nature.

Now the passage doesn't say that Gods' people didn't believe in a God. The problem lay in the fact that Gods' people had become believers and followers in the God, thinking, and lifestyle of the people they had integrated with; who were in fact their captors, teachers and lords(this sounds oh! so familiar).

Living under these conditions for a protracted period of time caused Gods' people to become and be treated as second class citizens and subservient to the ruling people, because Gods' people had by that(this) time literally lost their original mind; and no man can beat another man at his own game when he's making the rules.

Now remember, everyone was not said to be destroyed, only Gods' people were said to be destroyed. The reason being is because the people who were other than Gods' people were not destroyed because they were living in accord with their nature and God.

All of us have heard the statement, "we are all Gods' children." I won't dispute that statement but I will ask, what God are you a child of? My big brother Jesus stated in the Bible that Satan is the God of this world, and he makes it even further clear in John 8:44 when he says to a certain group of Jews that everyone does not have the same father.

He said that some peoples' father is the true and living God while others father is the devil. I hope that we all understand even though I know some don't want to understand.

Again, the Bible is quoted as saying that you should be mindful of your conduct because you never know when you could be entertaining an angel. Well that's understandable when one lacks the knowledge of Self, God and the Devil; and that would explain why most are constantly bitten by the snake-like mentality of those who they call their family, friends, and Gods' children.

In closing this post I would like for those who are either satisfied or dissatisfied with the way the world is going to ask themselves, WHOSE YOUR DADDY?

There are many books that can give a lot of insight into this broad subject but I highly recommend the book 'Message To The Blackman In America" by Elijah Muhammad. Despite the title of the book, it is a book that will prove helpful to all man and mankind who would like to know who their daddy is.

Peace and Love

IT'S UP TO YOU...

THE PRESENT IS THE WIDEST AND THE LONGEST IMAGINARY LINE THAT SEPARATES THE PAST FROM THE FUTURE; AND SIMULTANEOUSLY IT IS THE NARROWEST AND THE SHORTEST LINE BECAUSE IT SOON BECOMES THE PAST. TO HAVE VISION IS KEY BECAUSE YOU MUST LOOK INTO THE FUTURE TO SEE WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR FUTURE TO CONSIST OF. THEN YOU MUST GATHER THE MATERIALS THAT YOU NEED TO BUILD THAT FUTURE IN THE PRESENT, IN ORDER TO STEP INTO THAT FUTURE THAT YOU ENVISION.... IT'S UP TO YOU!!!
