CULTURAL IDENTITY CRISIS

Part Two

  One day when you are not so busy that you can't learn something new, you should go to a public library and study the globe or better yet-- a world atlas. My family owns an atlas that my persons picked up at a flea market. My persons got it cheaply because it was aged-- meaning books (like all paper copies) decrease in cost when signs of decay (depreciation) sets in. I found this book to be a sound investment. Often, my family and my being would sit together with atlas and globe and study the actual facts of the land masses (in hopes we were setting the foundation for my children's 'international perception or hawks-eye-view'). Maybe you can do the same as well and learn new facts.

   For example, although the Black Sea empties out into the small Sea of Marmara, near Istanbul, this water meanders into the Aegean Sea which separates Greece from Turkey.  The Aegean, Adriatic, Tyrrhenian Seas all dump their waters into the Mediterranean Sea which is totally surrounded by land on all sides until you reach a small outlet near Spain and Morocco in so-called Africa called the Strait of Tangiers. This makes these seven seas surrounded by land, similar to a large, scaled up version of the Great Lakes in the United States. As a matter of fact, if you did not have to concern your persons with governments, terrain and climate, you could walk from Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia into Russia-- by way of the Caucasus Mountains (an area between the Black and Caspian Seas).  And in doing so, travel throughout Europe. Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and China are all connected to the former Soviet Union and this same land mass extends clear around the Arctic Circle to the Bering Sea-- separated from Alaska and North America by the Long Strait on one end and the Norwegian Sea, Iceland, and Greenland seas on the other.

  This shows us that except for North and South America (as well as Anartica), most of the known world is mainly one huge land mass. When we were young, the West tried to convince us that North America, Europe and Asia were formerly all one land mass called "Eurasia" (a name which they created with the "Eu" of Europe coming before the word Asia), but if we took away all the current borders, this current day land mass would only be a continuation of the land which we could call Asia-- consisting of East, Central (or Middle) and West Asia respectively. Most people don't because the West does not refer to it in this manner. I hope you able to see through this example that the strategic naming of land mass, countries (as well as people), are often politically motivated-- often as a means of controlling those thus named. As well, the only reason we don't perceive it in this manner is because we were raised in the West, therefore we're subsequently taught to overlook it.

  In Biblical ideology, God allowed Adam to name all the creatures in creation, thus God gave man dominion over the earth. Nomenclature is a strategic system of naming things. When you name something, you indirectly describe and directly define things. As you define things, you gain more of a grasp of the things you define. Once you define a thing by its ways and characteristics, this knowledge gives you a certain control of things. This knowledge and familiarity gives you a certain dominion over all those things as well: By means of knowledge, awareness and familiarity, you certainly can limit the influence those things have over your life from your understanding of their natures. In case you haven't noticed, when conquerors overtake an area, they send missionaries to teach of the white man's fabricated religion while familiarizing themselves with the ways of the people. The missionaries are religious and normally present themselves as loving and caring humanitarians who come in peace... Although they may be, they are but part of a country's ideology or culture which might not peaceful.  Now once this knowledge is obtained, the other parts of this foreign power utilizes this knowledge in order to carry out the other parts of the plan-- similar to an octopus with several tentacles. Once the country have achieved its' goal (conquer or domination); they immediately start the process of re-writing "history," printing his papers, spreading his godSPELL; basically redefining everything to suit Western way of seeing things. As they say, "To the victor goes the spoils," which includes renaming everything.  And the European man doesn't have a problem spreading around enough money (making financial contributions and such), in order to do so.

   A long time ago (though it slips my conscious realm of where I saw it), I learned that the area Westerners call "Japan" is referred to by it's natives as "Nippon." I think what I may have been looking at was some foreign instructions, which was Nippon words written in English letters (Latin alphabets). This made me wonder, "So why do most people call these people Japanese?" I'm sure this happened when the Catholic church arbitrated the negotiations between the Portuguese Navy and Spanish Armada (each of the two countries being loyal subjects to the Catholic Church), by giving each an area of the globe to dominate over. On their maps, the Europeans renamed the areas (of course without ever informing the inhabitants of those areas), and the Catholic church sanctioned the conquering, colonization of those areas, and converting into Christianity. The Catholic church sanctioned Spain and Portugal domination over many indigenous peoples-- just as long as these marauders paid Rome tribute for the areas they colonized,influenced, or had dominion over (those interested in this type of policy should read or watch James Clavell's "Shogun"). Europe (under the pope) also had other names for many of the "Non-Western Asian lands" and we Blacks use those same terms because we live in a former European colony (The United States of America) and etiquette dictates we should. Besides, the West has had strong dominance or influence around the world.  Most of the world uses the terms that the West uses; not the terms and words its natives prefer to be addressed, or the labels that the indigenous people use to reference such things.

   If we let our education remain in the way the White man has taught us in America, we would never think of Europe, Africa, and China as one continent: Asia. If we continued to identify ourselves to the land-- not the tribe or the genus (as Western ideology subscribes); we would not place much value to our common traits as a people, but far too much to the country we were incarnated and all the prejudices that come along with that.
   We also can not we use religion to unite us, for within religion, there are religious prejudices and bigotry (a.k.a. "our way is thee way", "we are more blessed", "that's not the way we believe") etc. Wars have been fought over religion for a long time. Religious genocide has even taken place on more than one occasion: One only have to look at the current day murder of Muslim populations within Bosnia in 1995 known as "Srebrenica Massacre." Or in Spain and Portugal to see the exile of Sephardi Jews (who were citizens of these countries for a long time), as well as some cases of extermination-- stating that the underlined reason for the murder of an estimated 30,000 Jews within Spain was because of their false conversion into Catholicism to save their citizenship. These Jews were accused of claiming Christianity, while secretly continuing to practice their Jewish faith privately within the home during the time of the Inquisition. Some associate the country of Tarnish, as mentioned in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, I Kings, Jonah and Romans, as a locale in southern Spain (Ezekiel 27.12–14); Jonah 1.3). In generally describing Tyre's empire from west to east, Tarnish is listed as the first place Jonah sought to flee from the Lord -before 300 B.C. If Tarnish was indeed Spain, Jewish contact with Iberia may date back to the time of Solomon.  

  Therefore, it is very important for us to shed these Western ideas and terms for things concerning life, living and politics and begin to look at things from their original nomenclature, because (whether secular or religious) Western reasons are usually politically motivated; leading to a Westernized superiority, world domination-- control of world's natural resources, as well as a brainwashed way of thinking. And even though we speak of the influences of the Europeans, we only have to look at the tragedies in Biafra or the religious conflicts between Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba to know we are not exempt from this self hatred, tribal and small-minded way of thinking.
  So while there is a desperate need for Black people to come together, the medium cannot be what land you are from, or the religion you practice, but the stock of people you are and the awareness or consciousness you have concerning all of our people, no matter where we are. I think it is better to view things from the scientific perspective rather than religious or nationalistic/political point of view. I don't mean science in terms of technology, but science in the root term of the word 'scire' meaning 'to know'. A scientific method then, is a thorough means of investigation-- to discover the truth and facts, as opposed to belief. Once we stop looking at ourselves as belonging part of a land masses and more of the genus we are-- Black people-- we then should be able to view ourselves as a people regardless to the part of the world we reside in; Regardless to the part of the globe. We should be able to look at ourselves as a people, having certain wants and needs as a group, as opposed to thinking we are all different because we live in different places.

    Once we have established that into our psyches, we can then be able to look at things happening to Black people around the globe with a singular outlook and a scientific perspective. And from this perspective, we can also begin looking at the types of influences-- Western, Eastern, and religious influences-- affecting and effecting our thinking in different parts of the globe. This Western-Eastern, Communist, Capitalist, Monarchy-Democratic ideology has very powerful influences over us as Black people-- but we can not down play the power of religion.
   I choose to be very scientific and scholarly in my thinking. I am very god-orientated, but I do not believe in organized religion. One of the reasons why I hold as a strong reason against organized religion as I do, is within every religion there are religious prejudices, and a staunch belief amongst many of them that you can't reach God except through their particular way or that other religions are heathen. This way, you can watch many of us die and say "they were all heathens anyway."  This I cannot agree with. This aspect of religion has kept us apart from our social equality for too many years.  Besides, there is no one singular way to connect with the Almighty. Religious differences has been amongst the top aspects keeping each other apart from true equality as Black people and we have been intimidated by nationalism and politics into believing so.

   Certainly, if we look at ourselves as Black first, then the country or religion we are in as a secondary issue, our perception on the human condition of Blacks around the world would be a lot more cohesive to each and every one of us.  As we watched current events, we would think of how those things impact on us. This coupled with a need to know, accompanied with a devotion to be educated by such knowledge, would evolve in Black consciousness.  Our means of investigating various cultural aspects would be more scientific: We would find ourselves examining a culture from an anthropomorphic, archaeological and anthropological point of view as opposed to a religious and indigenous or nationalistic perception.
  One of the things I enjoyed about reading Malcolm X's (Malik El Hajj Shabazz) books-- like "By Any Means Necessary" and "The Autobiography of Malcolm X"-- is regardless of his defining of his persons as a Muslim, his concerns expressed a love for all Black people wherever they are-- not just fellow Muslims.  Malcolm remained an unconventional thinker who considered globally, yet acted locally as all activists should. Truth is truth and facts are facts-- regardless to how one feels about them. We do not live in a vacuum and if it happens to Black people over here today, it will entice events of this sort to happen to Black people over there tomorrow.

   Our aim at Black Consciousness on the Third Stone from the Sun is to bring you the truth in hopes it will expand your mind and raise your consciousness as a people (creating international unconventional thinkers), instead of letting it whither and die under the regime of ego-centered, narcissistic, hedonistic people who just want our labor, our land, our resources and control our souls.

Cultural Identity Crisis Part I

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CULTURAL IDENTITY CRISIS

Part One

  I remember reading a passage from a form of Black consciousness known as Supreme Understanding upon a video which explained our mission in one statement. He stated 'that if we identified ourselves as African Americans' --he, as a Blackman who's ancestors come from India, could not identify as other Blacks who live in America because he is not from Africa or America. He also stated, "I can not understand why we (as Blacks in America) would identify with that name either."  I agree.  I concur, he brings up two very good points:  That name (African-American) describes a people who became identified as such, when the Blackman was abducted from Africa and brought to America as a slave to provide free labor in the establishment of the White colonial community of states.  Thus being the case, the beginning of these groups of Blacks would start with the capturing of Black people on the Central Asian part of the globe and culminate into the chronicle of slavery in America. The lost prior culture through the subsequent separation and trading of their young (as was tradition in the American trade institution), along with the struggles to attempt to be accepted as equals (a phenomena which (to this date has not occurred)seem to be phenotypic or part-and-parcel for the chronology of most African-Americans.  His point seems to be: if we identify ourselves with a particular part of the planet earth (Africa or America), those Blacks who were not from that part of the globe, or do not share in this same legacy or experience, will not identify as being the same people (Black).  If this is his point, once again I agree.

    Even the majority of Western historians  will  concur, the earliest find of human existence has been found in the central part of Asia-- the so called "African continent," "Middle East," (or East Africa to be precise); making the Black family the oldest human family on this planet.  It is generally agreed that the Black man and woman migrated to all the other areas of the globe afterward.  So when we speak of Black people as being the first people on the planet, most of our people around the world will look at these original people as our ancestors, prior to our migrations to whatever lands we eventually relocated.  Whether in the Arabian Peninsula or the Himalayas, the Nile Delta, Australia or New Guinea, the Fertile Crescent or Mt. Kenya-- in the Wilderness of North America or in the Indus Kush Valley in India-- we are the same Black people in a different locale with some different customs.  If we use skin tone and certain other markers to identify ourselves as a group, we can identify ourselves within every part of the world.  But if we continue to engage in the Western practice of describing ourselves and our importance by where we live [land mass-and-migration](3 linked stories), we will be alienated psychologically from the rest of our people who have not made the same journey or  been subjected to the same chronological experiences.  For example, if the people from the Arabian Peninsula did not look at themselves as different from Ethiopia (Kush) or Egypt (Kemit)-- if the Bantu speaking people were not concentrating on tribal differences, religious ritualistic differences or which area they belong to-- Cecil Rhodes (2 linked articles) would have never had been as successful as he was at carving up the Central Asian continent into nice colonized territories, boundaries, and demarcations which the colonizers could use to rob and  steal diamonds and precious minerals.  The Blacks numbers and power would have been too much for the invaders to pull off such an occupation; much less hold it.  And the same thing goes for the continent of India, but we allow boundaries, religion, tribalism, and other differences to divide us and therefore split-up our concern for one another-- where by allowing ourselves to be conquered by Western expansionists one-by-one or "tribe-by-tribe."
   If we informed the world of a series of catastrophic events happening to a particular group of Black people on a specific part of the globe (like those chronological events depicted in Hotel Rwanda), as it stands today's reasoning, those Blacks from different areas (other than that particular group or tribe of Black people) would not relate to those events in the same way as the Blacks who are living there are going through it.  In other words, unless they were kin to either of these tribes in Rwanda [Tutsi/ Hutu](2 linked stories) living elsewhere--  generally speaking the mindset of our people today would not be anywhere near the same anguish as those native or relative to Rwanda.  Some among us might even focus on the differences between religion, politics, culture, or distance brought on by location and  boundaries etc.-- and those things would serve to desensitize us to a lot of the empathy for "those people."  It is to easy to feel that those issues confronting your people in one location has nothing to do with you in another area; especially if you do not live on that part of the globe or within that community.  And in the past, this has allowed the same perpetrators to do hideous things to one group of our own people, one after the next -- while others sat complacently by as though these were another people: Saying things like, "I never like that bunch any way; serves them right."  "God must be punishing them," etc., etc.  So don't help them believing bad things could happen to you if you get involved.  Ridiculous!  This cowardice, or the lack of feeling concerning kinship, and/or feeling of neutrality was more important to them than their fear that God would be upset with their involvement.  Compare the neutrality of Switzerland during World Wars I & II; the Isolationism of America before the beginning of the World Wars until President Harry Truman; the lack of sanctions by the U.S. during Apartheid as opposed to the sanctions withheld during the Bosnian Crisis.  Somehow in all these cases there was a certain "disconnect" that over-rode their sense of humanity.
   But once we look at ourselves as one genus or group-- "Black people," once we can get by our differences in religion, politics, culture or  territory-- we can identify with those who have the same genetic markers and make-up-- regardless of our location on this globe or Third Stone from the Sun: No matter where we are, we are Black people in every part of the world.  Once this has happened then the issue becomes: "Look at what they did to Black people over here; look at what they are doing to Black people over there!  What are they trying to do to our people?"  Once we have manage these issues, we would not let our personal differences control our public concerns!  Far too often I have witnessed our own people not do business with a fellow Black, simply because of a difference in religion-- while these same issues are never brought up by Blacks while doing business with Whites.  I have personally watched a Muslim, who is Black, not return a salute to me in his native religious greeting-- while talking at length to a White man who had been studying Arabic for non-religious reasons, after they both exchanged his religious greeting: What's up with that!  How can he summarily make me a non-believer on face value while accommodating a person who makes no pretense to not being Muslim?  Generally speaking, Blacks in America have always respect the White man's right to be different without fully ostracizing them-- yet we are less tolerant of our differences as a people (religion, style, etc.) and less likely to work around them as Black people.  And even if we don't like doing so, we will generally consider the Whites position in a given situation, more so than a fellow Black.  Why is that?  Is it that we don't want to seem ignorant or uncivilized?  Or maybe it's a reflection of our own self-hatred for us as a people... Who knows?
   Any way, when I was in college during a work-study session, I remember being up, in the rafters getting art supplies down, as I heard a female say to my supervisor that she was an "Egyptian." Curiously, because of never having looked at an indigenous native from Kemit, I leaned over the ceiling/floor to sneak-a-peek at one.  To my dismay, a pale Caucasian female was the only female I saw standing there! In my mind's eye I saw her as a White woman incarnated (born into earthly flesh) in Egypt, not as an Egyptian living in Egypt (because she is not indigenous to the area)! In the same manner of speaking, we who are Black and incarnated in North America, cannot stake claim to being African-American simply because we were born here.  [if anyone could stake claim to being indigenous American, it would be the natives who were exiled sixteen thousand years ago from India, who crossed the Bering Strait [Long Strait] to get to this country]. Nor should the Blackman bear the title of "African-American," because in doing so that would make his chronology start with the unloading of slave ships loaded with Black human cargo from Central Asia (so-called Northern Africa), obtained by means of abduction (taken by force). Make no doubt about it, we are Black first-- then we may or may not be indigenous to certain areas. I'm sure if you were in the military and you were stationed over in Germany and had a child there, the Germans would not take kindly to you referring your child as a Black German.  Subsequently, nor would the Russians call your child a Black Russian, if you were born while you were stationed there in Russia. Neither would the Irish take kindly to your reference as being a Black Irish under such similar conditions. First of all, you are not indigenous to those areas: Secondly, you don't share the same lineage, customs, tradition, culture, genetic markers or government which embrace your ways, for starters. Third:  You come from a people who have a separate story to tell from your new location.  Yet the colonizers feel justified in calling themselves American and referring to the natives as Indians and not Native Americans the ones they stole the land from...
   So in essence, what we have been talking about is love, humanity, care and belonging-- while referring to different peoples attachments and treatments:  When we were taken from our homeland and made into slaves by the slave mongers and peddlers of of Black flesh; those colonists  who owned slaves wanted what they wanted so bad, they had to make us sub-human in their minds, so they live with the act they were committing.  They claimed to be Christian, so they claimed we were heathen and in need of raising.  Our culture and/or religion had to that of savages to them to make their deeds justified.  They had to make us into something so uneducated, they would think they were doing us a favor by enslaving and training us.  We were made so rebellious that they would not have a problem inflicting cruelty upon us to "break our will" and taming us-- and in some cases something so hideous, they would not have a problem disliking and maybe even hating and/or killing (like the Klu Klux Klan).
   Everybody wants to feel loved and needed.  Everybody wants to feel as though they are important to someone else or feel like they matter in the world!  As you all know, love can make you feel good about yourself.  By making us lesser in their minds, the people of European descent could justify their cruel, vicious, sub-human treatment of us as their property.  They could cut off limbs and private parts and not feel they were doing it to a fellow human being!  Isn't that what the Allied Powers did to the Hungarians in World War I? Demonize them to make the murder of their fellow Caucasians in war easier to do?  Isn't that what the Germans did to the Jews?  Isn't that what Hollywood rekindles, whenever they make Nazi pictures: create the person you love to hate?  The people of Rwanda did it also to the Tutsi and Hutu during their tribal wars.  The dehumanizing of the Blackman during slavery was institutionalized into the American Fabric, like the stars and stripes; ingraining it into the minds of the American people.  Being a free man during that time was not much better for Blacks.  Slave laws were created and legislation was passed in the United States concerning what could and could not be done to slaves, what their value was worth for reasons of state representation in Congress, while indirectly setting the trend for how it's citizens were to view all Blacks.  A lot of that treatment spilled over to Black men and women whether or not they were free or enslaved and Congress did little to safeguard the rights of those whom the populace considered an inferior race.   Most Blacks were classified as property and as sub-humans, we summarily denied human rights.  As you can witness at the times of Frederick Douglass, many free Blacks were fighting to be recognised as dignified in the eyes of whites, thus they enlisted in the Civil war to achieve this end (which indicates they did not have it.  But something else happened in the process of evolving the United States and its' peculiar institution called slavery: We Blacks began to curse our condition and treatment in this country by associating our skin with the hate and ill-treatment being unleashed upon us.  We began to associate the treatment as something we were born into and accustom to because of the color of our skin, the two (Black skin and misery) being something which identifies us to receiving such impoverish and inhumane treatment ("just because you're Black").  We began to hate our social and political position within American Society and began creating alternative characters and alter-egos for ourselves ("I'm not Black, I'm brown--from the Boogie Down" or "Coming from an intelligent Brown man").  We began to hate what America made us and began inventing ways to escape the pain: We began to hate ourselves and those who look like us.  We began to inflict the greatest cruelty on those of our own kind, out of our own frustration.  Anyone who has seen gang warfare within the inner-cities knows what I am talking about.  And since we (as a people) were lost from our homeland for such a long time, our sense of belonging to the homeland was severed-- leaving a big void and with it went all the love, concern, and care-- on both sides...  With the invention of Tarzan and its various stereotypes, for us as Black people to identify with Africa meant to identify with being savage; at least in the minds of the unsophisticated television viewer.  So as you are talking to him or her, he/she is visualizing a bone going through your nose...  To identify with being an African American meant to be viewed as a former slave and inferior being (we have to look at ourselves as being Black and currently residing in America to change the playing field).  Worst of all, because of the consistent ill-treatment by White America, we began to believe that maybe we were that being which is inferior and that being which they identifies with the "N" word!  America created Blacks as sub-humans to rationalize the bondage of fellow human beings and create a slave institution, but it indirectly created a self-loathing victim in the process.  Then, because the Black man and woman thought he/she was nothing, anything which looked like him/her must be nothing as well (in his/her mind).  And in thinking that, he/she began to lash out by inflicting the greatest cruelty upon those of his kind, or go out of his way to discredit Blacks who thought highly of themselves.  Therefore in a effort to escape the ill-treatment by others in America, Blacks in America also attempted to redefine and/or recreate themselves by lying about their past and their amalgamations ("I'm half Cherokee," "I'm half-White, Spanish," etc.)...

   Back in the days when wearing buttons was popular (let's bring it back), my persons wore a statement which read, "Think globally, act locally." We not only wore it, we accepted it as a philosophical part of our being. What that means to those who think along these lines is, "You should take stock of what is happening around the world, but you should make your synopsis felt within the area you are in-- make something happen locally. Foreigners constantly breeze by multitudes of "experts in the field," in order to ask me (or other Black people) questions. Why? Is it because, "Even though we do not speak the same language," WE DO speak the same the same language?! Why yes, I would say, a lot of foreigners feel that a lot of Black people are sympathetic to their situation. They can tell if we know how they feel. They can sense our souls. When the souls are the same, then it is the same mental, verbal, as well as body "language."  Therefore these people are people who will know and understands how it feels-- as well as make every effort to understand and/or remedy situations. All over the world (though the chronological events are slightly different) we as Blacks suffer from a common affliction, by a common group of people from a common part of the continent, who believe that all other people are stepping stones to their goals. They use other peoples and nationalities to achieve their goals of world domination and somewhat  of a monopoly on the finer things in life.  I use the term "part of the continent" because before the Suez Canal was constructed by Europe (an engineered feat which cost thousands of so-called Egyptians their lives to show the West of their design fallacies), one could walk from Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula straight into the Middle East which is so-called Egypt in Northern Africa: Showing. and proving that this land mass is really one great single continent called Asia.
   Once we begin to look at ourselves as one people-- Black-- located in different parts of the globe, our concerns for us as a people will start to expand. It will stop being a myopic perspective, or a religious perspective and will begin to expand into an international one. We will cease having a sparrow-like perception, darting through the trees of Western obstacles while getting "crumbs of dollars" for mere sustenance and develop a hawk's eye view concerning these "land developers" (land grabbing thieves).  Flying high above their restrictions, surveying the total layout which encompasses all the land masses, overlooking total details with a free soul.

The Mission

     Who and what are we? No question, we are the oldest people on the planet. And in being so, we once populated the planet first. Naturally the land mass looked different, but if we strip away the national boundaries of today, we still have a land mass which looks a lot like that ancient Asian land mass-- with remnants of dark peoples in Tibet, the Philippines, the Indus Kush valley in India, the Arabian peninsula, Australia, central Asia (so called Africa) and beyond. In fact it would not be a stretch to say, in every part of the world you will find evidence of our ancestors once being there in great numbers. Black people are the original owners of the planet earth; which is the Third Stone From The Sun-- a term adopted from that musical genius, "The Original Black Spaceman," Jimi Hendrix.
 A lot of things has happened in between that time and now to our planet, and these events changed the order of things. Somehow, our identification got lost-- as wars, politics, and racial treachery changed our ideology of humanity-- replacing our form of civilization with another:  An ideology which dominates our planet with a new type of culture, politics, religion and civilization. New ways of education and belief has usurped the ways of our rich past. Somehow our dominance was systematically toppled, leaving only our genetics and trend-setting  to represent our original legacy.  It is as though, what our ancient ancestors understood, we as their descendants are-- in many cases-- totally unaware of.  Like the pale Jews of Slavic European or Caucasian decent-- our subjugation and colonization eventually lead to strange amalgamations which evidentually lead to a lost of awareness in many of our people.  Many of our people have lost our cultural identification, ancient knowledge and wisdom, our ideology, culture, civilization and the legacy that comes along with such awareness.
  In fact, the origin of this planet and ourselves are derived from the sun.  Our planet is merely one of the fiery molten globs, issued forth from the New Great Sun (one of seven), which cooled down and is lop-sidedly spinning on its own axis.  This third lava-like stone lined-up in orbiting succession (earth) became home to our traveling solar bodies (our Black souls), which took on an earthly form (as human forms), created by Us from the natural black earth.  Yet none of the dominate cultural teachings manifest anything which resemble this type of wisdom (philosophy); or the culture which accompanies this knowledge and wisdom of the human family of the planet earth.
  We at Black Consciousness are here to recapture such legacy, culture, and civilization through scientific exploration and reports by our staff of erudite writers-- using current scientific methods and ancient wisdom to unearth that which has been buried-- by way of our systematic research and development.  By skillful use of this language (and the skillful use of ours), we shall take unique looks at the chronological events which shaped our current world, along with revealing hidden truths-- while reconditioning our minds from the modern-day hypnosis the current world is under.  Yes we shall do just that: restore ourselves to our former glory and righteous state of mind and recapture our culture!

  We dedicate this Blogspot for precisely this purpose: To bring this knowledge unto you.  Absorb, reflect and enjoy.
