It's Only Words. . .

  The most fascinating thing to me is how we, as Black people, use words.  Here is the key to your liberation, right under your nose--yet you don't take your freedom, for yourself.  You don't take it, because you don't take the time to think about what it means.  You don't use your imagination and visualization skills to your benefit, by picturing yourself as that liberated person; that successful person; that nationalistically developed person.  As Unikue Universal so eloquently put it, "I won't do it, if I can't see it--but what matters the most, I only claim it if I be it." 

  Which woman is the most sexy, huh: A naked woman or half-naked woman?   

Western surveys have conducted experiments like this, several times over, and have concluded that the scantily clothed woman wins hands down!

  But why?

  Because when you begin to think about what's behind her covered parts, your mind gets carried away or becomes actively engaged: You could just imagine how she might look underneath those...   Your imagination and desires takes over and begin to paint a picture.  You want to see it, feel it, touch it.  You get pumped up, and worked up; but more importantly your energies and facilities become marshaled or ordered.  Adrenaline starts racing throughout your body and then your heart gets into the process: You want her!   You're all in it now, with guns all a blazing!  Engine revving!  Pistons pumping hard...  All this, and you haven't even seen the real thing yet!

  These desires are based upon a powerful image created by your imagination, within your sphere of awareness--that's inside your own head!  Nothing can stop you now! As Paul Simon once said, If you took all the girls I knew when I was single and brought them all together for one night;

I know they'd never match my sweet imagination: Everything looks worse in black and white.”

She might take off all her clothes, but the real her may let you down--because the real thing just doesn't look as good as the image you worked up (far less exciting)...  

  Oh well, and by the way--after you stand down, you can thank me later for the excursion...

  The point is, it was the "words" that were used, which brought those images with inside your head--but it was YOUR PERSONS who went along with the idea!  It was YOU who indulged the mental adventure!  It was you who were willing. . .

  You had to--in order for the meaning (which the words suggests) to take effect.

  The thought could not have taken root, without your permission.  You had to buy into the suggestion or implication--in order for my person to gain license to use your imagination and body.  You then considered the possibilities, before the suggestion or command, reached your soul to require it manifest the act or acts. . .  

How it works

  The choice of words represent a possibility, or possibilities.  Words have implications--and in this way, their meanings make suggestions to the one who reads or hears. However, there are times when those types of suggestions are made without your knowing. 

  That may happen, due to seeing images in conjunction with each other--like movies and commercials, illustration and art.  The arrangement of images to deliver a symbolic message is called an Image or art composition.  In Latin, it’s called, Sigil—believed to have magical power.  This part of art, is part of the science of symbolism, which is "a fine mist that the naked eye can hardly detect.”

  What this means is, The use of images is even more sublime, and more subtle than that of just words--making these images (or sigil) more dangerous than just the words themselves.  As they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words."  And "Every picture tells a story--don't it?"

  Now icons are images, which uses different people as characters which personifies certain ways of life.  For example, Charlie Chaplin was a comedic icon of my grandfather's day: He was replaced by Red Skelton in my physical father's day; making way for Jerry Lewis in my childhood--which paved the way for the more recent icons like Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) and Jim Carrey.  John Wayne was once the symbol of tough in this country for Whites, Jim Brown was the symbol of toughness for older Blacks; he was replaced by John Shaft in my day and Black Dynamite [Michael Jai White] and XXX  or Xander Cage in the generation X era. 

   These are paths which were used to arrange the world, according to some structure or matrix; creating roles by using many of the stars mentioned, to become various iconic stars.  And just like the icons which exists on your computer--"selecting them, opens up various pre-designed PROGRAMS,"  to help you manipulate an environment with.  Icons like Nicki Minaj and Lady Ga-Ga are the IDOLS of the modern age—just as there are many false idols to persuade one's mind.  Just keep in mind that Hollywood makes the stars you see, and worship--not the fans who adore them...  Some of these messages these images hold [words, images, symbols}, often find a way to slip past your scrutiny and/or attention, impregnating your soul with many suggestions and superstitions—unbeknownst to you: The cowardice of Kid Dynamite; The destitute conditions and the emphasis on the false hope and belief things will get better in Good Times, etc.  These types of messages are called, subliminal suggestions.  Commercials, movies, and TV shows use them all the time, to manipulate the mind.

Some times your favorite icons (like JayZ and Beyonce) get invited up to the White House, because they are "house n#g@hs" on political symbolic agenda or a buying or advocate point for the youth to believe.  These characters (like Shaquille O’Neal or Kobe Bryant) behave the way others want you to behave.  They suggest values that others want you to emote or emulate; but always keep in mind that they are only as big as America wants them to be; somebody writes their check.  So this aspect, one should be careful of, for like George Clinton says, "Mind your wants, because there is someone out there who wants your mind!"  There’s someone else (other than your folks) who’s designing these agendas. 

I am gross and perverted/I’m obsessed 'n deranged

I have existed for years, but very little has changed;

I am the tool of the Government and industry too

For I am destined to rule and regulate you.

I may be vile and pernicious/but you can't look away

I make you think I'm delicious with the stuff that I say

I am the best you can get have you guessed me yet?

I am the slime oozin' out from your TV set. . .

You will obey me while I lead you and eat the 

Garbage that I feed you

Until the day that we don't need you—

don't go for help...no one will heed you

Your mind is totally controlled—

It has been stuffed into my mold

And you will do as you are told—

Until the rights to you are sold.
