Spirituality in Practice

[Ahneeahm]

This thread is dedicated towards highlighting those individuals, organizations, communities or nations that have taken the concept of Spirituality and applied it to the struggle for liberation. I'm talking about real, live, tangible results of applied spiritual knowledge here, not religous mysticism. So reciting a prayer that ensures everlasting life after death wouldnt necessarily be included here.

It seems to me as if this conversation about 'spiritual' things has somehow been moved outside of the context of reality and instead placed into a mythological realm wherein we no longer associate God or God-consciousness with life on this planet earth. What we need now more than every is to grow in our understanding of what we do with this concept of the spirit. Does it just sit there for 6 days and 22 hours waiting to get out and excercise next sunday or what?

And this applies to all those who fall under the banner of 'spiritual' or 'religous' or anything like that. Lets put it all on the table, from the Kemetic Scientists to the Islamic brothers or the traditional African system practitioner, this would be the thread to show forth the manifestations of your beliefs. How has thus and thus benefited our existence, with some supporting details or something would suffice.

I am very interested in seeing the results.

[Pragmatic]

I had a conversation with a friend of mine at our club. I told him I got kicked out of my class. I know I was being disruptive. By raising my hand and being called on to elaborate, I chimed in on the technological advancments during the Depression, GOD willing. My Professor talked about microwaves and irons, to adults, who are out of high school. I clearly emphasized, when called upon, my experience with Margaret Sanger's Birth control, as a technological advancement, put forward by the Black Church, Du Bois, and Dr. King.

We proceeded unto the sit-in's and freedom rides. I imagine, as he expressed, the contribution, as it may seem, of one young Moorish women, spat on so filthitly, she was drenched in slobber, as if she was prespiring from sweat.

My Question, GOD willing was: Are African people decivilizing, assimilating into a race of handicapped sociopath's? (* Europeans)

I was ramsacked by this point. My point is this.

I'm right were I'm supposed to be, unless I start worrying about if your right were your supposed to be, then I get that sick feeling in my stomach, cause I want you to define my reality.

I cannot validate or invalidate your feelings. I can validate your reality.

GOD willing, Allah say's GOD is the only reality, and I'm not the only manifestation of the universe walking around here, being grateful that I can talk and see.

GOD willing, I must be aware I'm not more important than your right to live.

I'm not more important than your spirit.

I'm not more important than GOD's creation.

I'm not more important than GOD's grace or revelation.

Mā šāʾ Allāh

I pray for GOD to destroy the image of who I think I am. That I may come closer to GOD and increase my faith as GOD see's fit. I also pray for GOD to admit me on the Day of Judgment as a believer, GOD willing.

I'm aware I have to destroy the image of who I think someone is, and destroy the image of myself.

I destroy the images and feelings of superiority, and inferiority. Internally and externally, within and without myself, mind, body, and soul. That I have surrendered to willingly and unwillingly, and I pray for forgiveness, GOD willing.

I destroy the images of programming.

I can believe, you believe in a Power higher than yourself.

But your belief in that power cannot supercede the GOD of my understanding.

That would be idol worshipping.

The GOD I worship has conditions, and that is one of them.

GOD willing, I understand I used to covet superiority. Because superior people always feel good. They just don't have time to validate your feelings.

Which, in turn, allows me to maintain a resentment. I resent that I cannot "accept" that the Superior person loves me, as I love myself, so I believe that you believe I should feel a certain way. Which allows me to know my place. Lesser than most of the time. Disconnected and manipulative. In bondage to my own emotions, not yours, but mine.

Sociopath's cannot love you, cause they don't love themselves.

I've voluntarily enslaved myself for years like this. By validating people's feelings and images, instead of there reality. Placing people, places and things at the center of my reality, instead of my reality, my truth, GOD willing.

When I listen to you, embrace you, kiss you, hug you, I am suggesting I am aware of your feelings. I just don't validate emotions. Some people worship there ego. What if I was to believe "the god of your understading, want's something that is not intuitive for me. Something I haven't gained through some patience. I would be "stepping out on faith", and then I really show out then.

Children are famous for this. I remember being in the tub, knowing I was about to get 'whupped. For what ever reason, I prayed. I reasoned to GOD to save me from punishment, even though no one willed my decision, but me.

No one is in control of my idea. It was there before the suggestion, and the instruction. I just have to submit to Allah to understand, it's not mine to control, or manipulate people with.

Your imagination is very powerful, which is a blessing.

But you are your worst enemy, and your always out to kill yourself.

Fast forward into early Adult hood. I don't pray anymore, but I still make decision's that harm others around me. Especially family. Like a grown child I expect no consequences or punishment's for my actions. I've learned self-centerness, only now I don't know that my actions are pitiful, lame, incomprehensible, demoralizing, cause I'm requiring an adult to baby me.


Real recognize real. I was telling my wife, when we watch Europeans on T.V we are validating there image and emotions. When you see them acting out of a script, it is aweing.

These same people are uncompassionate, and oppressive off T.V, but on T.V they are very charming.

Humility is not charming.


The truth is. Europeans are Albinated Africans, who don't worship the GOD of our Ancestors.

They don't put Blackness at the top of there priority, anymore, and claim to be white, which is sociopathic in itself.

They believe there skin color is a disorder, and think GOD is joke for creating them so fragile that the sun, which is a friend to the meleniated African; a life boost to the pineal gland, is a destroyer to there's.

So they have there own interpretation of imagination, only they believe color is a virtue.

They keep away from us, cause naturally they feel "less than", and subservient.

They have inbred with each other, which has secularized there belief in "whiteness".


Narcissus or Narkissos (Greek: Νάρκισσος) in Greek mythology was a hero from the territory of Thespiae in Boeotia who was renowned for his beauty. In the various stories he is exceptionally cruel, in that he disdains those who love him. As divine punishment he falls in love with a reflection in a pool, not realizing it was his own, and perishes there, not being able to leave the beauty of his own reflection.

Beautiful post, thank you for you patience.






[3:103] You shall hold fast to the rope of GOD, all of you, and do not be divided. Recall GOD's blessings upon you - you used to be enemies and He reconciled your hearts. By His grace, you became brethren. You were at the brink of a pit of fire, and He saved you therefrom. GOD thus explains His revelations for you, that you may be guided.

[3:104] Let there be a community of you who invite to what is good, advocate righteousness, and forbid evil. These are the winners.

[3:105] Do not be like those who became divided and disputed, despite the clear proofs that were given to them. For these have incurred a terrible retribution.

[3:106] The day will come when some faces will be brightened (with joy), while other faces will be darkened (with misery). As for those whose faces are darkened, they will be asked, "Did you not disbelieve after believing? Therefore, suffer the retribution for your disbelief."

[3:107] As for those whose faces are brightened, they will rejoice in GOD's mercy; they abide therein forever.
[3:108] These are GOD's revelations; we recite them to you, truthfully. GOD does not wish any hardship for the people.


[41:34] Not equal is the good response and the bad response. You shall resort to the nicest possible response. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy, may become your best friend.
[41:35] None can attain this except those who steadfastly persevere. None can attain this except those who are extremely fortunate.


60:6] A good example has been set by them for those who seek GOD and the Last Day. As for those who turn away, GOD is in no need (of them), Most Praiseworthy.


[60:7] GOD may change the animosity between you and them into love. GOD is Omnipotent. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

[60:8] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable.
[60:9] GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight you because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish you. You shall not befriend them. Those who befriend them are the transgressors.


Peace be upon you

Peace Brotha, GOD wiling, my family is fortunate enough to be able to pass out hamburgers you can get from Mcdonald's *(the dollar double), pizza slices, homemade spaghetti, breakfast burrito's, soups and sandwiches (sometimes we do water)
GOD willing, me and my family are fortunate that during the winter we are able to Swap meet and buy a Grip of blankets and jackets and pass them out.
Advocate that charity, Mā šāʾ Allāh.


Peeeacce.
