A Double Down Digression

They also learn that the aliens have been bribing humans to become collaborators, promoting them to positions of power ...                                                                                          ☥                                                                         From The Plot Description Of 'They Live' ☥ Wikipedia ☥


I experienced a deep, deep betrayal from a white male whom I thought was a friend. I had to sit with the betrayal for a long time. We were friends for a number of years which gave him plenty of time to gather intel and ease his way into my inner circle of relationships. On the day of the betrayal, he stood by my side, knowing that he was responsible for the pain I was experiencing. I experienced another betrayal from a Black woman whom I was helping to establish her work with a group of professionals. In both cases, the mighty sucker punches knocked the wind out of me. However, as I healed, the wind returned to me as Shu ☥ God Of Air ☥ Sustenance Of Life. I invested a lot of time in my Kamitic Yoga practice and, after five years of practice, I developed the stamina ☥ discipline to practice for four hours each day when I managed my time properly. By the time I began the process of awakening, my mind ☥ vision was clear, and I could recognize insights, wisdom and empowering suggestions that were coming to me from my innate intelligence.


Towards the end of "They Live," Nada was stunned by a deep betrayal that ended up costing him his life. The woman who betrayed him also killed Frank and was in Nada's inner circle of relationships and under the influence of the aliens' psychological manipulation warfare/terrorism which used fear, scarcity, financial incentives and competition to turn humans against each other. I remember hearing Osho say that understanding is the only discipline. I understood his words intellectually, but now I believe I can deeply feel the lessons in his message which helped me to unpack, heal and release the deep betrayals of my past. Listed below are some of the universal lessons that helped me to heal ☥ take inspired actions → self-awareness protection (notice how some lessons overlap/are connected to other lessons).

 Lesson #0 - My ancestors lost their land, people, history, culture, art, language and

     so much more because of deep, deep betrayals. I need to understand my history ☥

     culture, but I also need to understand the anatomy and physiology of the colonizer

     mindset so that I can develop effective counterstrategies to thwart their actions. My

     ancestors heal as I heal. Decolonization begins in my mind and through my actions. It is

     OK for me to feel angry from time to time, as long as I process that anger and transform

     it into wisdom + inspired actions.



The Law Of Amen                       ☥                                                    ☥              You were made in the likeness of a peace that nothing can disturb. Reclaim your peace that you may attain to your reason for coming into existence.                       ☥                                                    ☥                               From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥



Lesson #1 - Every red flag is legitimate and must be investigated, no matter how

     small or insignificant it may seem on the surface.

Lesson #2 - Do not underestimate the power of jealousy to drive behaviors.

Jealousy (envy, etc.) shows up in many forms and often hides behind seemingly friendly     behaviors. When I notice it in people around me, I need to address it immediately.             Suggestions include empowering reframes that help people around me to recognize

     the unique value they bring to a situation, refraining from making comparisons and

     never suppressing my power/potential to make other people feel comfortable.

Lesson #3 - It is not possible to negotiate with a narcissist. They must be identified

     and removed from my inner circle, and they must clearly remain behind strong healthy

     boundaries that I define, set and enforce. If I relax my boundaries, I will experience

     another betrayal.

Lesson #4 - No one will think or behave the way I want/expect them to

think/behave.

     People can only be who they are, and if they don't know how to heal, they will engage in

     sabotage of self/others, almost by default. This doesn't excuse their behavior, but it

     needs to inform how I respond to their behavior.

Lesson #5 - I must heal my emotions in order to transcend the pain of the betrayals

     so that I can understand the lesson ☥ self-correct, because if I miss the lessons

     (which includes behaviors that I need to change), they will repeat in another form.



The Law Of Ausar                                                                                              Your nature is an unconquerable peace, therefore nothing or no one in the word can be against you. All experiences come to you to promote your reclamation of peace, that you may in turn acquire wisdom and power.                                                                                                                                       From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥

Lesson #6 - Most people have not been taught how to process and heal emotions,

so they have become masters of distraction, deflection and suppression. These

     behaviors are celebrated and reinforced through social programming/herd mentality. It

     is vitally important that I do not judge or take the behavior of others personally. At the

     same time, it is imperative that I cultivate benchmarks for trust and enforce healthy

     boundaries to prevent them from engaging in substandard behaviors.

Lesson #7 - Because I am still waking up, I don't know how deeply I've been

affected by social programming. I need to protect myself by making an unwavering

habit out of questioning my thoughts/perceptions and improving my behavior

based on my new growth/what I'm learning.



Burkino Faso-born architect, Diébédo Francis Kéré, has become the first African to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize, which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture. His highly esteemed work, including permanent and temporary structures, has been erected in his country of birth, but also across Africa, Europe and the United States.

I remember the room where my grandmother would sit and tell stories with a little light, while we would huddle close to each other and her voice inside the room enclosed us, summoning us to come closer and form a safe place. This was my first sense of architecture ... Architecture is an instrument we can use to create better cities, to create space to inspire people, to create classrooms which inspire the best generation.'                                                                                      ☥                                                                                                                                     ☥      Diébédo Francis Kéré From, 'Diébédo Francis Kéré: The First African To Win Architecture's Top Award' BBC Afrique


Shocked Black man



Lesson #8 - Colonizers use economic suppression, social programming and herd

     mentality to shock Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People into silence or

acquiescence. I must have a daily practice that keeps me calm, grounded,

centered and alert so that when the shock appears, I can respond instead of knee-

jerk react. Here are a few basic examples of times when I was shocked into inaction/a

knee-jerk reaction:

    ☥ I had made it to the last round of interviews for a remote job that I really wanted with

         an organization that provided mental health services. I had a Zoom interview with an

         executive who was a white male. He had left his job as a surgeon to help run the

         organization. When the white male started the Zoom call, he was in bed and wearing

         no shirt. It was obvious that he had just woken up, and he made no apology for his

         appearance. How much money would I have needed to make a formal complaint that

         caused him to be accountable for his actions?


The Law Of Tehuti When all of your thoughts, feelings and actions reflect the Word of God, then the power of God’s spirit and a peace that nothing can challenge will flow through your being.                                                                                                                           From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥

  ☥ I was looking through some paint samples at a local hardware store when I felt like

        someone was watching me. I looked up and saw a white woman staring. I ignored her,

        but then she took a step in my direction. I gave her the, "Don't even think about

        taking another step in my direction look," when she said, "I want to tell you something,

       but if I tell you, it could endanger your life." I responded, "Then don't tell me." I walked

        away, but I would have preferred to have followed through/reported her to security.

   ☥ I was standing in the First Class line getting ready to board, when a white woman

        pushed her way past me while saying out loud to no one in particular, "Is this the First

        Class line?" She used her rushing as an excuse to go to the beginning of the line. It

        happened so fast, I just let her go. But, when I got on the plane, I had a window seat

        and guess who was sitting in the aisle seat? She jumps when she sees me and says,

        "Oh! Are you sitting here?" I said, "Yes" and waited while she got up so that I could

        take my seat. She attempted to be friendly, but I was too annoyed to deal with her. I

        would have preferred that I addressed her behavior instead of festering.



The dehumanization of Blackness and its effects on Black females are rooted in the harsh history of slavery in America. Attributes such as race and gender impact their life and educational experiences. Examining the historical implications of dehumanization through the lens of Critical Race and Black Radical Feminist Theories provides a foundation for understanding issues surrounding gender, race, and identities of black females in society.  ☥                                                                                                                           From 'Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal,' Volume 1, number 1, pp. 65-85


When we do the equivalent of "putting on the sunglasses" so that we can "see" the covert strategies of colonization, we can see how Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People are gradually socialized to dehumanize each other. I was at an event that included a book signing. I was standing in line to have my book signed by a Black male celebrity that I would put into the "well-known, sex symbol" category within Black communities. He was signing books, taking pictures and conversing with people. However, just before I approached him, he turned his head to talk to a few other Black males who were standing by. He continued talking to them while ignoring me. I was quite surprised by his behavior and was considering walking away, when he suddenly reached over, grabbed my book, found the chapter he had written, signed his name and returned the book to me all while his head was turned and he was laughing and talking to the other Black males. The moment shocked me into inaction. As I walked away, I regreted not calling out his behavior. I didn't want his signature in my book, and I sat with the way his behaviors dehumanized me for quite some time. The only difference between me and the other people in line was that I was quite a bit taller. Though this Black male was taller than me, I got the impression that he somehow felt intimidated by my stature and used the moment to assert his power in the only way he knew how (lack of confidence that he was attempting to hide through overcompensation). This is very typical of Knight behavior. I later learned that he happily took a picture with the person who was standing right behind me, so there was something about me that was triggering for this man.


The Law Of Sekher When the emotions of [humans] manifest in response to the Word of God, they have the power to influence the course of any and all events in the world.                                                                                                                           From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥


Other ways that colonization gradually socializes us to dehumanize each other include:

☥ Funding work that dumbs down our culture

☥ Funding music that dengrates women (i.e. Hip Hop music branding Black women as

    "bitches and ho's")

☥ Funding TV shows, movies, etc. that trend barbaric behaviors and present them as

    either socially acceptable or as behaviors that give people "status"


Do we see the common demoninators?





We represent a $1.8 trillion dollar market that is growing steadily, but our unresolved trauma and unwillingess/lack of knowledge to heal causes us to reinvest in the perpetuation of these behaviors to go along with the herd instead of taking back control of our mind and emotions so that we can invest in the fulfillment of our potential. When we don't know how to heal, we play "hot potato" with our pain and suffering which is a coping mechanism that sustains cycles of pain within our communities.



The PHYLLISHUBBARD.COM Guide to Protecting + Maintaining The Integrity Of Your Relationships
Family and people we consider to be "friends" could fall into any of these categories. Often, the root cause of relationship challenges can be identified once we accept the fact that some family and friends who "live" in our inner circle are actually wannabes. It's important for us to train ourselves to focus on a person's level of development to determine where they belong in our circle of relationships. During my research on how people chose their spouse, I discovered that many of the men that I interviewed married "wannabees" because they were easily accessible and did not require growth/the elevation of consciousness. Though they were in miserable relationships, they remained stuck/emotionally addicted to complaining because they didn't know how to heal or were afraid of the unknown. Our Protective Barrier remains in a constant state of jeopardy until we become the King ☥ Queen ☥ Monarch → Emperor ☥ Empress ☥ Sovereign (https://bit.ly/IamEES) which gives us the courage and wisdom to protect ☥ maintain the integrity of our relationships ☥ cultivate a healthy body ☥ mind ☥ emotions ☥ intimacy ☥ fulfillment.


Lesson #10 - When in doubt, ask, "What would love do?" Not the socialized,

     commercialized or superficial versions of love that are promoted in the media, but love

     as the source of all there is.



The Law Of Ma’at                                                                                           God needs you in order to come into the world. Fulfilling God’s need is the highest act of love, and only through your love for God can you fulfill your love for others. Become the Love Of God in the world for the protection of the world.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥


Lesson #11 - Nothing I do will stop white people from trying to sabotage what I do

→ my actions must include counterstrategies for potential sabotage. I don’t

remember when I first learned this lesson, but the moment that comes to mind is the

sensation that I felt when my hair stylist first permed my hair. There was something about

     the way my scalp stung from the chemicals that let me know that I was making a

     mistake that I would deeply regret, but I didn’t have the knowledge or strength of

     character to make a better decision for myself. I later realized that perming my hair to

     stop white people from tormenting me was sort of like giving heroin to a heroin addict

     to make them go away. Perming my hair did nothing to protect me from white people.

     In fact, there was a girl in my school who didn’t perm her hair, and I was not treated any       better than her. I admired her, and wished that I could have been as strong as her. The

     sunk cost factor made it very difficult for me to overcome my mistake because I      

     couldn’t get past the emotions of grieving what I had lost of myself. However, once I

     accepted the sunk cost, I was able to grieve properly and heal which was a necessary

     step in helping me to get unstuck so that I could move forward. First, I calculated that           perming my hair cost me over $30,000 + about 10 pounds of lost hair/burned scalp +           the realization that my actions did not improve the behavior of white people + it

     cultivated a sense of self-hatred within me → herd mentality of self-hatred among the       Black People in my community. Then, I took the time to heal, forgive myself + the

     people in my community who were too traumatized to mentor/help me heal. The final

     step is ongoing. It involves tapping into my inner wisdom and thinking carefully about

     what I am about to say or do. It also involves recognizing that jealousy and racism will           cause white people + the Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People who enforce           

     eurocentric agendas (consciously or subconsciously) to sabotage any action I choose to

     take. This recognition keeps me from taking action without implementing

     counterstrategies and anticipating potential sabotage. It acts as a check and balance

     strategy because when I clarify my benchmarks for trust and insist that the people

     around me meet those benchmaks, their actions will reveal whether or not they can be

     trusted, and I can then adjust my actions accordingly.



Lesson #12 - When people say things to us, investigate the truth before responding

     emotionally to what we hear.





     In the clip above, notice how the young woman makes assumptions about the truth

     and then accuses the village priestess without engaging in a conversation to get at the

     truth. This is happening because she is driven by emotions that are causing her to draw

     conclusions based on circumstances that she doesn’t fully understand (partially

     because she doesn’t understand her own culture). But, because she spent most of her         life being educated in America, she believes that her (colonized) perception of the truth

     is the only way to view the situation. She represents Africans of the diaspora/continent

     who have been socially programmed to view traditions and culture as primitive,

     uneducated and uncivilized and these perceptions persist even though colonizers’

     actions towards us continue to be primitive, uneducated and uncivilized. Jemeji does a

     spectacular job of helping us to see the fallacies in our behaviors as a person from the

    city or village — and both groups of people have fallacies to correct.


The Law Of Heru                                                                                            You have the power but not the right to ignore God’s Law. Choose to follow the law of God with the love and joy that grows out of understanding and the wisdom and power of God’s spirit will flow through your being.                                                                                                                                                         From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥


     Another way this plays out is when people say something to us in order to cause an      

     emotional reaction in us and then our reaction temporarily satisfies the person’s

     emotional addiction to feeling like they had the power to make us do something. A way

     out of these situations is to practice meditation. Check out my Journey to Radiance ☥ 

     Sankofa blog to learn about S.N. Goenka and his meditation mentorship around

     cultivating the ability to perceive sensations without reacting to them. This is not a

     lesson that we can learn by reading this blog. As I mention in Journey to Radiance ☥ 

     Sankofa, there are no shortcuts - we must practice in order to cultivate the skill. And if

     this skill were a guitar, we would have to practice to be as good as B.B. King.

The Law Of Het-Heru                                                                                         It is not what you imagine. It is who is imagining. Are you a human or a divine being?                                                                                                                                                                                                                           From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥



 Lesson #13 - The evolution of the sacrifice. I have a theory that I cannot yet prove, but I’m going to share it and would like for us to contemplate it over time. I believe that     

     when God asked us to make a sacrifice, we misinterpreted the meaning because we

     were too afraid to do what was truly asked of us. So, instead of sacrificing what God

     truly asked of us, we thought that we could fool God by sacrificing humans. This

     practice went on for a very long time. Then came human rights initiatives, and we began

     the practice of sacrificing animals and then eating them. But these are not the

     sacrifices that God asked of us. We didn’t listen to God because what God asked us to

     sacrifice was too scary for us to do because it requires that we face ourselves. So, what

     is the evolution of the sacrifice? Think about the most bloody, gruesome sacrifice and

     imagine what it would be like for self-hatred to be that incredulous sacrifice. How can     

     we kill self-hatred? How can we destroy self-hatred in such a way that it can no longer

     drive our thoughts and actions? When we look at the statues in Kamit (Ancient Egypt),

     we realize that our ancestors worked very hard to show us that we were greater than we

     could possibly imagine. Why else would the statues be so incredibly large? So, how does

     sacrificing a human or an animal improve our behavior? It doesn’t which is why I believe

     that God did not ask us to sacrifice a human or an animal. God asks us to sacrifice self-

     hatred. It is much more difficult than we think which is why we keep focusing on

     something else, but the time for evolution is now. If we spend the next year sacrificing

     self-hatred - if we kill it in the most final way possible, how will our lives change?

It is who is thinking and affirming. Are you a human or a divine being?                                                                                                                                                                                                   From: ‘The 11 Laws Of God’ ☥ Ra Un Nefer Amen ☥

 Lesson #14 -There is nothing supernatural, everything is natural. We in Africa

know that the human being possesses twelve senses, not five senses as Western

People believe.” (Source: ☥ Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa ☥) I realized that extra sensory

    perception is not special or “extra” in any way. We have the ability to perceive beyond the

   Western concept of the five senses, and these abilities are not “supernatural” or         

    “paranormal” from the African perspective. These ideas of “witchcraft/sorcery” are made

    up to make African people afraid or ashamed of their natural way of being. The

    stigmatized terms were developed by colonizers based on their ignorance of and desire

    to control us. So, the first step for me was to decolonize my mind and accept myself as I

    am. If I perceive something, I allow it to manifest itself completely. I relax into the flow of

    the experience, and I give myself time to decode whatever messages are coming

    through to me. I no longer feel ashamed of any of my quirks. I investigate them, do

    whatever healing is necessary if needed, and unapologetically own all of who I am. I 

believe that every diasporic African has a “Kunta Kinte” inside of them - that African

who made it through the middle passage/migrated, chose to live in spite of the suffering +

sacrifices and refuses to be forgotten. That African will keep knocking on our internal

door until we answer the call. There is no limit to how that African will attempt to

communicate with us, so it is important to keep an open mind, be receptive to

information coming to us from “the intelligence” and remember to directly face and

transform any fear that we may feel. I also believe that we will not be happy ☥ find

peace ☥ experience fulfillment until we understand ☥ get to know that African who



Keep looking until you see...

I also believe that every diasporic + continental African has to do the work of

reintegration. This is a tough concept to grasp at first, especially for the continental

African because the continental African is from the continent. What is there to

reintegrate? Well for starters, 90% of African art LIVES OUTSIDE OF AFRICA,

hundreds of millions of Africans migrated out of Africa and took with them essential

aspects of our culture that was not allowed to be studied/expressed on the continent after

colonization. So to understand who we are, we need to be like a detective and investigate

unknown aspects of who we are. I have attempted to get us started on this path with

blogs such as Sankofa, Ayurveda, Chakra and Qigong. However, the most

important knowledge that we must access exists inside of ourselves. We were born with

the knowledge and society brainwashes us until we "forget" who we are. So, let me say it

differently. If you are African and you are speaking with an "Indian," understand that they

are carrying a part of your culture with them that you lost during the

migration/colonization. This is also true of Asians, Aboriginies, Pacific Islanders, etc. The

slicing and dicing of our culture was a deliberate attempt to keep us fighting with each

other so that colonizers could sneak around and milk us like cows. Seek understanding

first and drop assumptions. That African wants + NEEDS us to know who we truly are.

Can we see it now? If not, this is an invitation for us to keep looking until we see.




Diving Further Down



Black woman offering money


Lesson 15# - Healing Our Perceptions Of Worth → Money ↔ Caste Systems

I’ve been contemplating concepts of worth for a long time. How do we see ourselves and our value? How does money play into these perceptions? In my family, I have a two star general, a person who lives in a mansion, a large family who grew up in a three room house with no running water and an outhouse in the woods + many other levels of "status" in between these categories. So, is the general and the person in the mansion from the upper class and the family with no running water in the lower class within my family? Do I treat them differently at the family reunion based on their financial status? Do caste systems make sense within Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant communities? What is the purpose of a caste system? Do we need some sort of “system” to prove that we are “better” than someone else? If so, why? Why is it so tempting for us to nip at other people in order to feel good about ourselves? How did we become so shallow-minded? Consider this quote about power:



Power doesn't have to show off. Power is confident, self-assuring, self-starting and self-stopping, self-warming and self-justifying. When you have it, you know it.  ☥ Ralph Ellison ☥


If we could learn how to be “confident, self-assuring, self-starting, self-stopping, self-warming and self-justifying,” would we need a “caste system” to make ourselves feel a sense of worth? During my first national sales meeting as a "sales rep," I had to share a room with an unknown white female rep. That experience was robust enough for a full blog, but for now, I'll just share one incident. We were coming back to our room from a meeting and there was a Black female housekeeper working in the hallway. As we passed her, I smiled and said hello. When we got to the room, the conversation between me and my white roomate (wr) went something like this:


wr: "I can't believe you spoke to the help."

Me: My great-grandmother had many skills, but she could only get a job as a domestic

worker, cleaning the houses of white people. My grandmother also worked as a

custodian, so when I see a housekeeper, I think of my grandmothers and how hard

they worked so that I could have my current opportunities.

wr: "Oh" (she then changes the subject) "That last session was a total bore wasn't it?"


During the meeting, I made sure to leave tips and speak to everyone. I don't think of housekeepers as of a lower status than me. Cleanliness → Godliness. One of the greatest gifts that I ever received was a housekeeper that I used to trade with when I first started my business. I was so stressed because it was hard to do all the work and keep the house clean, but my business was in my house so it had to be clean. I found a woman who needed massage, and I needed a clean house so it was a win-win combination that saved me in so many ways. I never saw her or her work as beneath mine. I saw her as an equal. I do require professionalism from everyone who works with me, but I don't need to see them as beneath me, and I've been in deep thought about why we need to place people into categories of worth. What is the purpose of this practice?



Jamaican food


During a conference in Toronto, one of my colleagues took me to a very upscale Dim Sum restaurant that I truly loved. I wanted to return the favor by taking this colleague to the best Jamaican restauant that I could find. Toronto is the site of the largest concentration of Jamaicans in Canada, so I knew that there had to be a great restaurant somewhere. I walked with my colleague over to the concierge's desk to make an inquiry. The concierge was a white woman who was about my age and the conversation with her (wc) went something like this:


Me: (Excitedly) Hi there! Would you please let me know the name of your best Jamaican

restauant in Toronto? I can't wait to check it out.

wc: (Puzzled) Uh, I'm sorry, I don't know of any Jamaican restaurants in the area.

Me: That's impossible. Toronto has such a large population of Jamaicans who love food

and are natural entrepreneurs, so they must have a number of restaurants in the area.

wc: (Adamant) I'm sorry, I don't have any information on Jamaican restauants.


Because my white colleague was with me, I realized that it must be time for a teaching moment, so the conversation continued something like this:


Me: Would you please call your head housekeeper?

wc: (Puzzled) I'm sorry?

Me: Your head housekeeper is Jamaican is she not?

wc: (Embarrassed) Yes, she is.

Me: Please call her for me. I'm sure she can direct me to the best place in town.

wc: Yes, Ma'am.


My white colleague and the white concierge are now shuffling uncomfortably attempting to pretend that reality was not happening. The conversation continues with the Jamaican housekeeper (JH) like this:


JH: (Cautiously curious) Hello, dis is the head a housekeepin'

Me: Hello, thank you so much, and I apologize for disturbing you, but I really love good

Jamaican food, I'm only in Toronto for a few days and want to eat the best Jamaican

food in the city. Where do you go to eat?

JH: (Excited) Oh my goodness! You love Jamaican food? You must go to Chubby's! You

are going to love it.

Me: Thank you so much for your help! I can't wait!


The concierge has to find the location for Chubby's in order to call us a taxi, so I say to her, Toronto has a very large population of Jamaicans. Please make a note about Chubby's for the future so that you can recommend it. I'll stop back by your desk to confirm that it is worthy of your recommendation. I dropped off a Chubby's business card and hoped that the experience would improve the professionalism of the concierge, but I am convinced that she will not include Jamaican businesses unless more people like me/high profile guests make + follow through with the inquires.


What bothered me so much about this exchange is that the concierge recommended a number of Italian, Greek and Asian restaurants, but she overlooked her Jamaican staff members and seemed to not know how many Jamaicans were in the city of Toronto (more than 200,000 people and +3.4% of the total population). Furthermore, the concierge works for the guest. If a guest makes an inquiry, the professional response needs to be, "I'll find out" not "I don't know." When we arrived at Chubby's, I was excited to see that it was in a nice part of the city, it was a beautiful restaurant and the food was authentic. They were shooting a comercial in part of the restauant, so they could certainly use the recommendations of the concierges from the best hotels in the city. However, my experience at the best hotel was that they behaved as if there were no Jamaican restauants in the city. I also noticed that there were plenty of white patrons so, why not recommend it? How much harder do the Jamaican entrepreneurs have to work to attract business?


I've had many similar experiences in other cities, the most disturbing of which was actually with an African concierge who worked at a swanky hotel in Washington, D.C. I was so excited to see an African concierge, but my excitement waned quickly when I asked him to recommend the best African restaurant in town. Keep in mind that the population of Ethiopians is so large that they don't even have to speak english in the city. The African man adamantly told me that he didn't know of any African restauants in the city. What was he trying to prove and to whom? For what purpose? How does an African so easily lose the connection to himself in America?

Wealthy Black couple


Because I have worked with a number of people in the "wealthy" category, I feel the need to double down further to explore the purpose of money. I often think of a popular rap song that suggests that when get our "money right," no one can tell us anything. However,


what happens when we don't get our mind right first?

I seem to notice the disconnect more with wealthy Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People, but I have also noticed this issue with white people. What is the purpose of money and how do we best use it? I used to think that wealthy people understood money better than me, but my social programming research + experiences with wealthy clients have shifted my perceptions. Money is sort of like a microphone. If we are intelligent, money can grow and expand our intelligence. The challenge comes with our shortcomings and this is where I often spot the disconnect. I have noticed that some people use money to hide their shortcomings or to bully/coerce people into doing what they want. Because the person has money, they attract opportunistic people who are trained to do and say what a wealthy person wants to hear. These people then create a false environment that can be sustained for a long time through wealth.


Slowly, the wealthy person begins to lose themself because they use money to purchase "things" that replace the work needed to evolve through self-awareness. The extra "things" are provided as "proof" that evolution has occurred, but there has been no evolution, just the accumulation of "things." Celebrities offer great examples of this dynamic because we see it happen over and over again. We watch certain celebrities making decisions, and we want to scream "Noooooooo! It's a trap!!!!!" But, even if we had access to the celebrity, they might laugh in our face because we are of a lower "status" or think that we are an opportunist because they can no longer tell the difference between people who serve the highest good and wannabes. So we watch helplessly as the celebrity rises and then falls. Each time, the celebrity seems to have been blindsighted, and each celebrity had enough money to protect themselves from the fall. So, why did they fall?


I am especially concerned about Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrities, because they keep losing their money/assets, and they often struggle with similar social issues:


☥ They can't seem to find a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant person to marry and appear

to be bombarded with a disproportionate amount of white mates as options

white cultural appropriation and mockery of African culture is unapologetic, heavily funded, celebrated and spammed throughout multimedia. This image represents a tiny sampling of the thousands of images I had to scroll through during my search for people of the African diaspora who accurately represent Kamitian (Ancient Egyptian) culture. It took me five hours to find a total of 70 images of Black People that were strategically hidden inside 350,000 images of white people. Many of the images were "filibuster" images that took up space to prevent me from finding the Black People. It was an exhausting experience designed to wear me down so that I give up before finding the hidden images of Black People. To be clear, the company has to include Black People, so they fill up space with these images to discourage me from finding the empowered Black images.

In Discernment ☥ Wisdom Of Our Chakras ☥ Part III, I share the above image and my painful experience of being bombarded with images of white cultural appropriation. The image above has major financial implications because it reflects 350,000 photography and modeling jobs that Black People did NOT get to represent their own culture. So, why am I mentioning this story now? I don't exist in the celebrity world, but it cannot be a coincidence that so many Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrities behave in the same way. Why is it so difficult for a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrity to find a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant person to marry? Could it be that there is a "filibuster" environment that surrounds them and "hides" the good potential mates? The inception of my contemplation came from an invitation I received from a co-worker to attend a superbowl party at the home of a famous Black baseball player. I hate those kind of events because they are full of wannabes, so I declined the offer, but my co-worker lectured me until I finally gave in. The moment I entered the home, I was ready to leave, but I chalked up the experience to an opportunity for another psych experiment. At one moment, I noticed a famous basketball player hiding outside of the kitchen and peeking in periodically to scan the room. It was such a strange environment - too fake for me. I protested so much, that we finally left. The experience caused me to ponder, how does a celebrity find a quality mate? The event I attended would offer opportunists, but not quality options. I was dragged to the event, and vowed to never let myself be talked into such a thing again. I also realized that my products from my online store are not as easy to find. How much scrolling is needed for people to find my work? I am in the same situation as the Canadian Jamacian entrepreneurs. If we take this type of event + the bombardment of white people (who have a much easier access to celebrities) what kind of equation are we creating that could equal finding the right person → a quality, fulfilling relationship? What actions can we take to balance the scales?


My scrolling experience was incredibly painful. First of all, I did a specific search for Black People and was bombarded with hundreds of images of white people before I found the first image of a Black Person. Some of the beautiful images that I found are on this website, but they came at a heavy emotional price. I wanted to give up, but the only reason why I kept scrolling was because my grandmother's voice popped into my head and she started singing "I Don't Feel Noways Tired." Whenever I felt like stopping, she would say "keep scrolling baby, because that Black model is counting on someone like you who has the strength to keep going so that you can find them, so keep scrolling baby - you ain't tired." After five long hours of scrolling, my grandmother's voice turned into a choir of ancestors singing, and I found 70 beautiful images that were strategically buried within 350,000 images such as the ones that you see above. So, if we look at how this dynamic shows up in every area of our life, how would a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrity find a compatible mate when the best options for them (outside of the celebrity "world") are strategically hidden/buried? When we look inside the celebrity world, we tend to notice combinations that are often focused more on optics than compatibility. The Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrity couples who have survived the test of time tend to be grounded in a spiritual practice, stay out of media attention, chose to work through some sort of relationship trauma and/or have graduated out of the Knight stage of development. Regardless of our social economic "status," we need to explore the effects of colonization on relationship problems within Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant communities.


Other common social issues that often show up within the Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrity world include:

If they marry a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant person, they often leave this person for

a white spouse that doesn’t seem to make compatible sense → tends to fall apart

If they are fortunate enough to have a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant family, there

seems to be an unusually large percentage of dysfunctional dynamics within the family

such as the children are fighting with each other or their parents, jealousy issues, etc.

☥ When the celebrity dies, the family is in such disarray that the court systems end up

with most of the money and the family becomes disenfranchised

☥ A disproportionate amount of Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrities report and

display signs of depression - even when the celebrity is smiling, I can see the pain

behind their eyes


My research has found that these and many other issues tend to surface in more than 60% of Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant celebrities which is an alarming number. Occurrences in the single digits are worthy of attention, but the numbers that I see are staggering. There are no shortcuts to healing and transformation. Each one of us must do the individual growth work. We cannot pay someone to do it for us, and the money allows us to hide for a while, but the truth eventually catches up with us. A few heart-wrenching examples of celebrity deaths include:


  • Don Cornelius, infamous host/producer of Soul Train committed suicide (age 75) - we lose too many elders before they have the chance to function as an elder → sharing wisdom, using their life experiences to help us protect ourselves from colonizers ↔ think about what we could have learned from Don Cornelius as a community elder

  • Lee Thompson Young, child star of The Famous Jett Jackson and rising star committed suicide at the age of 29

  • Michelle Thomas, character actress died of a rare form of cancer at the age of 30

  • Lisa Lopes (Left Eye), singer/rapper, died in a car crash at the age of 30


The asset battles go back to Kamit (Ancient Egypt). While white egyptologists attempt to present the "Ancient Egyptians" as promoters of incest, the truth is that colonization forced the Kamitians (Ancient Egyptians) to marry their siblings in order to maintain control over family property. They had children with concubines, but this was a move to control assets, not a display of sexual deviancy. In the modern world, we see that abolitionist Fredrick Douglass lost his entire estate to a white woman who was hired as a clerk in his office (he later married her) and then to the state, leaving his five children disenfranchised and Alex Haley lost his farm + his family had to auction off his Pulitzer Prize (yet Roots, still earns money in DVD sales, reruns, etc. so "someone" is earning money instead of the family). It is not enough to earn money because these people had plenty of money. We have to understand money and allow it to work for us → assist in our personal/professional growth → evolution of consciousness.


A celebrity who does the growth work will experience deep fulfillment + happiness, live in their purpose, know how to use money and will not fall into the traps of hiding behind shortcomings/to bully. Such a celebrity would be unstoppable and if that person was also a humanitarian they could help us to build a better world.





Lesson #16 - If an orange is squeezed, orange juice will come out → we need to have an empowered response to “the squeeze” when it happens and resist the temptation to cause harm to ourselves/others. Please continually revisit this lesson because I believe it will evolve over time as I come to a greater understanding of the process of working through “the squeeze.” I am most concerned about “the squeeze” in Africa because watching Black People oppress each other is almost unbearable, but I experienced the same emotions when I watched Will Smith smack Chris Rock in America. I don’t normally mention celebrity names specifically, but because we will be unpacking this issue for many years to come, and I explore this situation in my emotions + mental health blogs, we will continue our healing process by focusing on the issue and not the people. Both issues speak to the pain of watching a Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant person harm another Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant person because they are knee-jerk reacting to “the squeeze” instead of consciously choosing an empowered response. If we don’t learn how to manage our dark side, it will manage us and will eventually control how we “manage” life situations. The biggest challenge with “the squeeze” is our lack of preparation based on our cockiness. We think we have our ego under control, and we continue to delude ourselves all the way up to the moment that we are "squeezed." Even as we are acting out, we still think we are “in control,” and it is not until we later reflect on + deal with the effects of our actions that we can accept the fact that we were unprepared + lost control during “the squeeze.”

I am going to digress here to explore the reaction of two professional boxers. The first boxer was favored to win. He was larger and a known sex symbol. I watched him enter the boxing ring like a peacock, smiling, posturing - proud of his good looks. The second boxer was slightly shorter and smaller, but ultra focused. He had a no-nonsense presence about him as he entered the ring. As the fight started, I noticed that the peacock kept posturing during the fight, almost taunting the other boxer, but the smaller boxer stayed ultra focused. It was fascinating to watch these dynamics play out in a boxing ring. When the opportunity presented itself, the smaller boxer got in a few good hooks and knocked the peacock to the ground. The funniest moment for me was when the peacock was interviewed, and he was a bit disoriented - talking as if he was still in the fight with a chance to win. It was as if the fact that he got knocked out had not yet caught up with him in consciousness. I thought about this fight for a long time and kept replaying the ultra focus of the smaller boxer in my mind. His behavior provided great examples of empowered responses to “the squeeze.” Let’s dive into a few of them:


☥  Extreme Focus - He was there to win the fight, not to look cute fighting. His form was

precise, his energy was balanced and he did not respond to the taunting of the peacock.

He consistently kept his gloves up, and I could see that he was driving the movement of

the punches from his waist. One of the most challenging practices for me during boxing

class is to drive the movement of the punch from my waist, so I was truly impressed with

the precision of his form. Ironically, his focus caused him to look more attractive in the

fight than the peacock.


☥  Discernment - his extreme focus caused him to stay “in the zone” so that he could

perceive split-second opportunities to take his best shots. He literally knocked the smile

off of the peacock’s face.


☥  Emotional Maturity - though he was continually taunted by the peacock, he did not allow

himself to get baited into knee-jerk reactions. He stayed true to his form, watched

carefully, waited and then took his shot.


Even when he won the fight, he stayed focused on his performance, using critical analysis to ponder what he learned during the fight + what he could have done better.


As I reflected on this fight, I thought about the type of training a person needs to excel with extreme focus + discernment + emotional maturity in the midst of “the squeeze.” Because of my thousands of conversations with clients, I am convinced that most of us think we have our emotions in check. I am also convinced that most of us do not do any type of “emotional training” to “stay prepared” in case of a surprise emotional trigger - and the trigger tends to often be a surprise. We “think” that we are in control + we don’t do any type of training to ensure that we can balance our emotions = our subconscious delusional state of mind ↔ the ways in which we lie to ourselves.


I would like to end this lesson with a few questions for us to ponder. How can we protect ourselves + others from making poor choices when we are "squeezed?" These choices can cause extreme harm and even be fatal, yet we continually lie to ourselves on a daily basis - convinced that we are in control of our emotions. What will it take for us to get honest with ourselves, look deeply at ourselves without judgment and make corrective actions?

Lesson #17 - Our ignorance of the elements = the suffering + devolution of Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People. I am purposely moving very slow with this lesson, so please be comfortable, get some healthy snacks + water and enjoy the contemplation. I have invested the past few decades into the teaching and study of the elements, and I have failed miserably because I haven’t been able to get past the social programming of Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People. However, I think I may have finally found a way to break through with my Dream, Ayurveda, Qigong and Chakra blogs. I even devoted an entire blog + video to the element of fire. This lesson offers an invitation to study those resources until the elements come alive in our consciousness. With this background, perhaps we can finally understand why our ignorance of the elements = our continued suffering + the devolution of Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People. More importantly, my hope is that we will study these elements until we become the “God” of the elements (master our understanding of them) in our lives.

In the 1970’s Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì attempted to teach us about the Goddess Oshun and the element of water. I believe the song went right over our heads, so let’s dive into it a bit.



One point that was not discussed in the video is the fact that “If water kills your child” the first thing a person will do is cry tears of water which is another way that it is impossible to fight with water.


The video above does a great job of unpacking the lyrics. Please take some time to go through it, and also please take the time to listen to the entire song uninterrupted:

Water has the final say.


Let’s take Lesson #15 (perceptions of worth/money/caste systems) a step further and apply the concept of water. The infamous Can’t Tell Me Nothing song says:


La, la, la, la (ayy)

Wait 'til I get my money right

La, la, la la (yeah)

Then you can't tell me nothing, right?

Excuse me, was you saying something?

Uh-uh, you can't tell me nothing (yeah)

(Haha) you can't tell me nothing (yeah) ...


So, if we are a billionaire and we are in the comfort of our billionaire bedroom, sleeping in our billionaire sheets in the comfort of our billionaire home and water says, “I have to pee,” one of two things will happen. Either the billionaire will get up to go pee, or the billionaire will pee in their pants, but one way or the other, pee will happen. Even if the billionaire says, “I’m a billionaire - no one tells me what to do!,” refuses to pee and vows to kill themself, the first thing that will happen when the billionaire dies is that they will pee. So in the end, water wins. And water is the great equalizer. Water will make us pee whether we are a billionaire or a homeless person on the street. We MUST respond to water, and water has no enemy. Can we see it now? As we are sitting on/standing over the toilet peeing, only water/the elements can truly say, “Uh-uh, you can't tell me nothing (yeah) … (Haha) you can't tell me nothing (yeah) … ”

Black woman drinking water
We are mostly water. How much do we know about water? How much do we know about ourselves?


OK so now we may be ready to finally take the elements seriously. The Gods and Goddesses came to us AS THE ELEMENTS for a reason, and each one of us must find a way to unpack that reason as it applies to our life. Here’s a simple example using water. If we do not have enough water in our colon, we are constipated. So, if we have too much water in our colon, what happens? YES! You got it right, too much water in the colon leads to diarrhea. So if we are constipated, what is the FIRST thing that we need to do? Drink water!!!!!! If we have diarrhea, we need to add the element of earth (kapha) to slow down the flow of water (crackers, rice, etc.). Is the importance of understanding the elements starting to make more sense? We must understand the elements and apply them to our lives. A good place to start is by learning how to strengthen our pelvic floor.

To own ☥ love who we are as we are we need to get to know ☥ accept our true selves. Our power is suppressed beneath the false illusions we reach for as we attempt to be what society says we "should" be. But we can only be who we are. We cannot access our power until we connect with who we truly are.


This blog begins with the an exploration of the Chapungu exhibit. Why would a colonizer steal our art, make it inaccessible to us and then “become” our culture as “superheroes?” Let’s take a look at a few examples:


Cultural appropriation turned the African God Khnum into “aquaman”

Cultural appropriation turned the African Goddess Auset into “isis”

Cultural appropriation turned the African God Ausar into “osiris”

Cultural appropriation turned the African God Anpu into "anubis"

Cultural appropriation turned the African Goddess Mami Wata into various “mermaids”

Cultural appropriation turned the African God Shango into “thor”

Cultural appropriation turned the African Gods Ogun + Ptah into “iron man”


Even when the actual African Goddess is acknowledged, her name is not spoken, so we have “storm” instead of her actual African name which is Oya and she is the Goddess of much more than just a storm.


In the Summer of 2025, we learn that the Black Panther franchise will feature a “white” Black Panther. For what purpose?

Because colonizers do not understand the elements, but they see the power in them, they have stolen them and attempted to “become” them before we discover that they have stolen our culture. However, it is impossible for a colonizer to take on the power of the elements. The only way to embody the power of the elements is to become the God of that element which means that we must study the element as it applies to our personal life.


For example, you and I must study water as H20, but we must apply that knowledge differently - and only we know how to apply it to our lives. This is a tough concept to grasp at first because colonizer programs are in our head telling us that they are the expert of who we are, but only WE can be that expert. Please sit with this concept for a long while. Water is in me and you chemically as H20. Yet, the element of water in me is different than the element of water in you because I have a different combination of water functioning within me, and I am ruled by SHU who is the God Of Air, so I have to factor in air as my primary foundation. So, you can’t cheat by stealing from me, and I can’t cheat by stealing from you. The only way for me to learn is to study the elements as they function within ME, and only I know how they function within me. How? By getting to know me (studying how I function). How? Through SankofaQigong/breath awareness, Capoeira, Yoga, Ayurveda or any practice that connects us to the intelligence that causes our heart to beat. THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS. WE MUST DO THE SELF WORK. We cannot pay someone to do it for us, and we cannot skip steps. If we don’t do the work, we will be manipulated through outside sources, and we will suffer with depression/health issues/social issues until we align with our true self - regardless of our social “status.” Money can allow us to run through distractions for a long time, but we cannot hide forever and running is misery.




Diving Further Down



We are programmed to look everywhere but inside of ourselves. Keep looking inside until you see.


NO-ONE can tell me how I function, but if I don’t take the time to learn how I function then I can be manipulated by outside influences, and this is where colonization has decimated our community. Colonizers don’t understand the elements, and they can’t take the power, but they can distract us away from connection to our power. Ironically, if colonizers did the work of harnessing their own power by understanding the elements as it applies to their life, they would evolve in consciousness and have no need to oppress us. But because they see and want to harness the “power” without doing the self work, they bully, lie, cheat and steal which gives them the “feeling” of power, has postponed their demise + given them the appearance of success through the accumulation of “things.” However, they are setting themselves up for a fall that has no recovery and Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People who enforce eurocentric agendas will fall into the same bottomless pit. To date, colonizers have done a stellar job at distracting us, and if we continue to allow ourselves to be distracted away from ourselves, colonizers will destroy everyone and everything on this planet → colonizers are so disconnected from themselves that by the time they realize that they have destroyed themselves, they will be knee-deep in the quicksand and going down. At our current pace, we can’t keep up with colonizers. It takes us too long to figure out that they put lead in the paint + get them to take lead out of the paint/asbestos out of the walls/toxic waste out of the ocean/trash out of Africa + India, etc. Can we finally understand why we cannot wait for that moment of realization for colonizers to happen?



This lesson might also be a total failure, but please don’t give up → be patient with yourself + gentle with the process of learning/healing/discovery → keep moving forward + looking until you see → keep revisiting this lesson until it makes sense → motivates you to embody + become the “God” of the elements (master your understanding of them) as they apply to your life.

An exploration into concepts of wealth ☥ value ☥ power.



Lesson #18 - The Evolution Of The "Come Up." The movie Kosi begins with a woman who terrorizes another woman in the village. She says, “You are the daughter of no one, but I am the daughter of the richest man in this village.” I thought about this exchange for a long time. What does it mean to be the daughter of the richest man if all we are going to do is bully people to make ourselves feel better? Why not be the facilitator of the evolution of the “come up?” Imagine what would happen if the daughter of the richest man in the village says to the woman washing clothes in the river, “Hey Sistah, I notice you washing everyone’s clothes. I have enough money to get you something called a washing machine that would save you so much time. You could wash clothes for the village women and earn enough money to take care of your family and eventually pay me back for the machine. Let me show you how to start the business.” If she invested in just two people, the village would have the beginning of a market and would eventually become prosperous enough to trade with other villages. But instead, she spends her time taunting people because she is rich and has hung her identity on the success of her father. What about her success? Who is she? What is she doing with her life? The evolution of the “come up” is about how we invest in others. It’s not just about money, it is about time and mentorship.



The evolution of the "come up" is now. We can invest in each other. Time ☥ Money ☥ Love ☥ Whatever we can give from our excess.


In the Journey To The Dream Podcast, WolfHawkJaguar and MXO talk about how they used the extra money that they earned from performances to invest in the local South African community. They would help someone to start a fruit stand or clothing business in the local market. We are the evolution of the “come up” because there are no/too few venture capitalist investors who are interested in helping Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People to thrive. Ironically, investing in Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People helps EVERYONE to thrive. The only benefits that colonizers get from oppressing us is to fulfill a psychotic fantasy of superiority which they don’t even believe, so when will we stop the insanity? The evolution of the “come up” might be a bit “uncomfortable” at first because we need to heal as we build, so we need to be patient with each other while at the same time requiring professionalism + honesty + integrity + benevolence + competence, and we may have to take the time to define it for the people we work with over and over again because we are still in the healing process. Just like in Lesson #17, we cannot take short cuts. We must do the work, and we must be organized + precise with that work, but once we build the foundation, we can coast and chill. The problem is that we watch colonizers coasting and chilling, and we think that we can do the same, but colonizers have the benefit of our slave labor which has enabled them to coast. Please do not think that we can mimick their behavior lest we set ourselves up to fall into their bottomless pit. It doesn’t matter how beautiful a house built on sand looks. When the storm comes, the house will fall. So let’s get the evolution of the “come up” right. Let’s do it mindfully, and let’s build our house on the rock so that the foundation lasts for as long as the Giza Pyramids. Here are a few key elements that we need for the evolution of the "come up" in order to get started on the path:


☥ Learn about and understand money like a person. Get to know it and how it functions in

our life. Transformation moves gradually. Learn how to wait.

☥ Analyze how we invest our time. What serves our highest good? What is dead weight?

Drop the dead weight and free up some time. This new time is the time we will use to

invest in the “come up” We give from our excess and not from our essence. The evolution

of the “come up” is a process of healing through empowered giving which we cannot do

until we have something to give. If we are not there, we can focus on Lesson #17 until we

get there.

☥ Invest small amounts of money in people doing work that helps us to grow, benefits

society, etc. Examples could include, purchasing products from the person’s website, from

the local market, etc. It is vitally important that we purchase products from each other.

When I first started my business, I remember a client paying me, and then getting

groceries. That $25 may not mean much to you, but to a person growing a business, it

might mean whether or not they eat today, so if you can, please do all you can to support

local people. Start with small amounts, and cultivate trust but keep going and watch as

your investments grow. Focus on people, not profit. The profit will come, but first we must

heal the people. If we try to cut corners and get profits first, we will devolve.

☥ Be a jealousy detector and remover. Jealousy is a sneaky saboteur. It prevents us from

helping each other because we start comparing ourselves to people and the next thing we

know, we are feeling like a failure. Jealousy is an illusion because no one can do what we

are on this planet to do, so drop the comparison, work with Lesson #17 and “do YOU like

you’ve never done you before” which will kill jealousy and energize us to support each

other’s growth process + become more successful.

☥ Choose a person who is doing work that you truly believe in and be a mentor for that

person. In the above example, if the daughter purchases a washing machine for the local

woman, she can teach the woman how to use the machine and set up the business.

Think about what her new story would be. She is the daughter of the richest man in the

village, and she has turned the village into a vibrant, profitable community that has

become a cultural trade center because she chose to invest in her community. Now, she

has an identity that makes her the evolution of her father’s success and not the cannibal

of it.






Diving To A Core



Before we get to this lesson, which is a very deep dive digression, I encourage us to please read/revisit S.N. Goenka's rice pudding story from the Journey To Radiance Sankofa blog. That story will assist with the digestion process of the following content. We are diving to "a" core and not "the" core because we have many cores and levels to unpack on our Journey To Radiance. I hope the process of going through these lessons will help us to understand what a p-r-o-c-e-s-s might entail + will help us to have the patience + persistence to keep seeking until we find what we are looking for. Each reader is looking for something different, yet we are on similar paths and are seeking the same type of fulfillment that comes from awakening to our personal truth. I struggled quite a bit to get clear about this lesson and with that clarity came concerns about my personal safety. However, Sekhmet, the Warrior Goddess reminded me that she watches my readers very carefully and that she/the intelligence are more powerful than water/the elements. I can trust that I am protected and that nothing gets past the awareness of SPIRIT. I'll keep typing until I'm guided to stop, and I am clear about the fact that I answer to SPIRIT, not to colonizers. SPIRIT wants me to specifically say this to those readers who struggle with fear. When we align ourselves with SPIRIT, it will guide us and teach us how to stand in our truth.




I will begin with an explanation of how I deal with Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì. I categorically LOVE Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì. That said, I would not ever date or marry Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì because I am monogamous and must date/marry a monogamous Emperor. I am very clear about that. However, I admire the intellectual + musical brilliance + humanitarian/culture keeper/griot/liberation freedom fighter in Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì, so I can enjoy the "rice pudding" for what it is to me. Even as I study his health issues, I am in awe of what I can learn by making healthier choices. Contemplate your feelings and honor them with your own personal truth. I've given you mine ...


Now let us prep for this lesson with some empowered interpretations of:


An invitation to notice how the horn arrangements mimic the feeling one gets when "Lady" enters the room.



Lesson #19 - A woman was born into a fight that she cannot avoid. She must face and transcend her reality as a woman. With this fight comes a series of truths that she must accept as the reality of her current social condition, but under no circumstances can she accept the injustice of her social condition. First, let us unpack what I mean by accepting the "reality" of her current social condition. A woman must accept that society views her in a certain way. If she doesn't accept reality, then she cannot develop a viable counterstrategy to help her transcend that reality. The acceptance is of the truth of the situation, not acquiescence to the situation itself. I hope this makes sense. Now, to help us dive deeper, let us contemplate Fela's lyrics:



If you call am woman African woman no go 'gree                                                                                   She go say, she go say, 'I be lady, o'                                                                   ☥                                                                                                                          ☥ Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì ☥     


I am leading with African women because as Fela alludes to in his song, Africa is the Mother and we learn from her. An African woman is not going to let anyone put her into box with a label. Full stop. I could write several books unpacking that one sentence. Colonizers use economic suppression and have created a billion dollar sex trafficking industry in order to force her to comply and submit, but she will continue and must continue to fight for her right to be herself. Let us hear directly from an African woman:



I love that Sunni's poem ends with what we gain by allowing a woman to be herself.


So the first part of the lesson is that a woman must be who she is even though there is tremendous pressure to force her to lower her level of consciousness to match those who attempt to oppress her. The great Sunni Patterson helps us understand the next part of the lesson which is to overstand what we gain by letting a woman be herself. Let me attempt to dive deeper with a metaphor. An African woman is sort of like a coach because she pushes you to do better and to be better especially when you don't feel like doing or being better. But in pushing you she makes you stronger. The whole time that you are complaining about the African woman, you are becoming better because of her. What we see in society is that some men have been seduced to turn away from the African woman, and we see that seduction turning those men into narcissists and lowering their level of consciousness to the point that they become damaged. It is like they have been infected with mold because even if they get rid of the toxic person, the toxic residue of that person remains and must be cleansed before they can come back to offer love to an African woman.




Diving Further Down






The next part of Fela's song says "Let me tell you about Lady" and then he breaks it down:


She go say him equal to man                                                                               She go say him get power like man                                                                      She go say anything man do himself fit do                                                                 ☥                                                                                                                     ☥ Fela Aníkúlápó Kútì ☥   

Fela tells us about "Lady," but he doesn't give the impression that he is intimidated by or afraid of "Lady." He offers his honest assessment of her social behavior without specific judgment. Over the centuries, there has been a dedicated effort to suppress and oppress the African woman, but she sees herself as an equal to a man, and society will have to grow until it accepts her as such. She will never be anything less than an equal to a man. This does not mean that she is in competition with a man. No true woman wants to compete with a man. We want to live in an empowered relationship with a man/person and we cannot do that unless we are equal to that person. So the question becomes, why would ANYONE want to be in a relationship with someone who is beneath them in any way? No healthy person would want such a thing. But a person who wants to control another person would need for that person to be weaker in some way. True power seeks power, but weakness uses brute force to create a false sense/feeling of power in order to overcompensate for the weakness. Power is like a muscle → can only become stronger when it reaches up and stretches itself. Power cannot become stronger around weakness, so it wants and needs to be in the midst of its equal or better. An African woman knows this down to her bone marrow, so she cannot accept any other reality. To accept anything less is to kill something inside of herself, which is what the colonizer attempts to force her to do. She cannot. She will not.


As the song continues, Fela says that she dances the "fire dance." The concept of dancing alludes to freedom and fire is tantamount to power. If we consider that this song was composed in the 1970's + the political environment of the time, we can extrapolate contextual themes to inform our modern way of thinking. Have we actually moved forward or are we devolving? In what direction are we moving? What does any sane person have to gain by forcing anyone to be weak around them? I keep using the metaphor of the heroin addict because that is how oppressors behave. They are obsessed with a "feeling" and will do anything to get + sustain that feeling regardless of the cost and even if it is not real. They also create social conditions that pressure everyone into adopting their "norms" so as to cover up their insanity through herd mentality. An African woman has no choice but to expose and attempt to heal the insanity. So, she will push us to do better and to be better whether we like it or not. I will end this lesson with a question. What do we want? Do we want weakness or do we want empowerment?



Diving To A Core




Lesson #20 - We cannot pay the price we are being seduced to pay for comfort + the illusion of security. This is another core lesson, so we’ll need to move slowly through the p-r-o-c-e-s-s. First, let us unpack the concept of comfort. What is comfort? I think a great deal about the time that I permed my hair because it was such a painful experience for me, financially, physically and emotionally. Why did I do it? I did it for the illusion of comfort. I thought that people would be kinder to me. I thought that Black men would find me more attractive, that colonizers would stop tormenting me, that it would be easier for me to get employment. Was is worth the price that I paid? When I look back on that time, I see that a disproportionate amount of Black men consistently rejected me, white people continued their torment and employment was not much easier for me to get with permed hair. Let us dive into this a bit:





☥  Black men did not just consistently bypass me. The few Black men who dated me made

me feel uncomfortable in my own skin. After a while, I realized that they were being

programmed to devalue women. I remember a comedian saying that men were simple.

They just want us women to “feed them, fuck them and shut the hell up.” Please think

about this deeply. What kind of person do we become if someone feeds us, fucks us and

    says nothing?” I believe the term is “devolution.” A muscle becomes strong when it

exercises itself. When it does nothing, it develops atrophy. I realized that men are being

socialized to become “comfortable” with a type of woman that causes them to develop a

type of social atrophy. I cannot accept this behavior, so I can easily wait for that Emperor.

I have two cousins who have been a source of great silent support. They are tall Black

men and both are married to beautiful Black women. I remember thanking both of them

for marrying a Black woman and both of them looked deep into my eyes and said the

same thing, “Ain’t no other option for me Cuz.”





☥  Colonizers and their constant torment needs to be put into perspective. I had an epiphany

about this a while ago. I realized that the universe must evolve in consciousness, but

colonizers seek domination which is the opposite of the evolution of consciousness. So

why put me on the planet with these people unless their behavior is being used to force

me to evolve? The universe needs one type of person to be on the planet ↗ the person

who is able to face + transcend fear. Full stop. So in order to face + transcend fear, we

must FACE + TRANSCEND FEAR. What we are doing now is running from fear, avoiding

fear, overcompensating for fear, allowing ourselves to be seduced into comforts to forget

about fear, but none of these actions will cause us to face and transcend fear. Once we

transcend fear, it no longer has a hold on us so why do we keep running from it? Why not

just get past it? I suppose we have the rest of our lives to unpack that answer, but I am

sure that the best way to become a great boxer is to have a formidable sparring partner,

and when it comes to sabotage, there is no sparring partner better than a colonizer. So I

resist the seduction, and instead focus on honing my “boxing skills.” It is OK if I get hit

because each “hit” is “data” that I use to improve. Every encounter with a colonizer is a

sparring session, and one way or the other, I will learn how to get and be better until I

face + transcend fear.





☥  Employment has been an interesting journey for me. I’ve noticed that the people I work

with attempt to force me to conform so that they can feel more comfortable. But, after a

while, they give up on their pursuit and then they study me for while. Then, they ask me

questions and watch me for a long time. They tease me about the ways in which I refuse

to conform to their way of being. Sometimes, they will talk about me to my face and

behind my back. However, when the work needs to get done, they come to me because

they know that I will get the work done. When they come to me, they also know that I

have certain requirements, and they must meet those benchmarks of professionalism.

They may joke, “Oh Phyllis will not allow that!” or offer some other type of sentiment that

lets me know that they are aware of my standards → that I will not lower them. So, I

wouldn’t call my employment issues uncomfortable or comfortable. I think I have just

grown into an acceptance that I have a professionalism benchmark that I clearly define

for the people I work with, and they meet that benchmark or I find another place to work. I

don’t think I can be easily seduced in this area now. Funding is a constant challenge, but

I’ve come to realize that the value I place on myself cannot be attached to money. It is

sometimes a difficult road, but I don’t honestly believe I can travel anywhere else that

leads to fulfillment.





So, what did I gain from the experience of perming my hair? I suppose I could say that I gained the type of wisdom + knowledge of self that comes from processing regret. What did I lose? It is almost unbearable to consider the losses, but I must face them in order to heal and move forward. I now realize that I was seduced into paying for comfort. The seduction process was long, slow and deliberate + it kept after me until it conquered me. Once it had me, it was like a drug because I felt like I had to keep perming my hair and the fear of stopping the process + lack of knowledge of how to reverse the damage kept me trapped inside a secret silent prison for years. In the end, where was the comfort?


Now, let us unpack seduction. The National Library of Medicine published a study that explores seduction by looking at social ambivalence. We can be more easily seduced if we are ambivalent, so our society creates social situations that invite + reward people for engaging in ambivalence. How do we protect ourselves? Self-awareness is difficult when we are constantly distracted and kept from connection with ourselves. We run from and are afraid of ourselves, but what are we running from? If we cannot face ourselves, what can we face? What are we doing? There are many ways to practice self-awareness, but my favorite practice is still focused on the pelvic floor because that practice takes us deep inside ourselves, and trains us to search for + develop an area of our astral spine. It also develops our ability to control physical functions which prevents manipulation of those functions from outside forces.





How can we unpack the illusion of security? What makes us “feel safe?” Are any of the “things” that make us “feel safe” real? I would say “yes.” I  definitely feel safer with locked doors, but even within that is an illusion of safety. Am I safe from what is behind that locked door? What protects me from the inner saboteur? A major reason that I am so determined to study + teach us about the elements is that the elements are pure power that cannot be disputed. Once we learn how they function within us, it becomes very difficult for anyone or anything to manipulate us. It also creates within us an awareness and a consciousness that seeks something higher. In other words, there is no motivation or desire to create or cause harm when we are self-aware. We seek for something higher/greater, but we don’t need to harm others. In fact, collaboration with others facilitates the greater within us. How do we get there when we are trapped inside illusions of security? Self-awareness is the way out of the trap. Even when we don’t have the answer, becoming aware of ourselves is like a GPS system that guides us out of the trap.


OK so back to the focus of Lesson #20 - We cannot pay the price we are being seduced to pay for comfort + the illusion of security. Full Stop. I invite us to please read the lesson over and over again. Meditate on it and think about how it applies to our life. It will apply differently to each of us, but if we think deeply enough, we will come to understand the ways in which we are being seduced. We need to think more deeply about our ambivalence + what we may be running from/to/avoiding in order to feel some level of “comfort.” More importantly, we need to consider the price we are paying for something that is not real. When I review interviews with people, particularly those with suicidal ideation, I see this constant struggle to grasp for a comfort that doesn’t exist. Some people are willing to pay with their life for the illusion of comfort, but we cannot pay the price we are being seduced to pay for comfort + the illusion of security because the people who are seducing us are using us like batteries to power a car that is driving off a cliff. It may be a luxurious car, but we are fooling ourselves if we think that we are doing more than prolonging the inevitable. It is a long fall off the cliff, and when the luxurious car hits the ground, there will be no way for us to recover. Too many of us don’t realize the price until it is too late. Interestingly enough, even within the concept of suicide is the illusion of comfort. Why do we believe that killing ourselves will lead to peace? That belief is an illusion. The truth is that the pain that we feel is so real, that we NEED to believe that we can end it, but instead of doing the work of p-r-o-c-e-s-s-i-n-g the pain, we try to take the easy way out by thinking that killing ourselves will end it - a gamble based on an illusion. These issues wouldn’t exist if when we were a Page, someone would have taught us how to heal + how to face our fears. But we didn’t get the foundation that we needed, so we can be easily seduced and our desire for comfort keeps us trapped within the seduction. Can we see it now? Paying the price is sort of like attempting to fight with water … we cannot pay the price.

"They Live" Plot Theme: Identify + Remove The Root Cause Of The Problem = Liberation

Every challenge that we face in our community has repeated and will continue to repeat itself until we focus our efforts on identifying and removing the root causes. Root Cause Analysis is a discovery process that reveals solutions that were in our blind spots. Root Cause Analysis is a solutions based approach to problem solving that uses a wide array of tools and strategies to help us identify and remove the origin of a problem. The origin of a problem is like engine fuel. Without fuel, the engine cannot run. The root cause of a problem is the reason for its existence. Once the root cause is removed, the problem no longer exists. Root Cause Analysis teaches us how to strengthen the bond and communication between our body ☥ mind, improve our ability to solve novel problems in the future and cultivate courage, confidence and trust in ourselves. 




Hidden Trauma Strategies For Identifying + Removing The Root Cause



Why Black Health and Healing is because, in our world and in this country, Blackness is still a reality where there is still a great deal of prejudice - where there is a great deal of bias on all accounts and in the health and healing arena. We have certainly found, I think you can see this all over the country, that we are the ones who are suffering from maladies that a lot of the rest of the population simply is not. And this is across economic lines. We’ve seen Black men [who] are getting prostate cancer, no matter what their economic situation is. Black women are now getting breast cancer at a rapid rate no matter what their economic situation is. And that says to me that there is something very distinct about being Black and what happens to Black People in this particular country.                                                                                     So, we are addressing that reality of what is happening to Black People … what has been happening to us and now with, as Dr. LeSarre was speaking of, with the sugary foods or the stress or … the peril that we live in what is being created are heath manifestations. So, we were drawn to helping those of us with … a reality of being Black, an identity of being Black, to triumph over these health situations that are manifesting in us … there are many levels, they’re physical, they’re emotional, they’re psychological - they’re in many different areas, but I think it’s all around carrying this identity of Blackness and what happens to us in carrying this identity in this country.                                                                                ☥                                                        ☥ Ty Blair ☥

This is a traditional Nigerian film, so it might seem a bit "different" to diasporic Africans, but I encourage everyone to take the time to view all parts and watch to the very end. There is a lot of hidden cultural gems in this film. What can a diasporic African - who has been cut off from their land + language + culture - learn through real-time experience with traditional African multimedia? Also consider the similarities between this story, the Aztec story of Coyolxauhqui, the story of Ausar, etc. and think about the trauma we cause to ourselves and others when we cannot come to a consensus with family/extended family members.
