Creative Process of Redemption

"Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned. If your knowledge were your wealth then it would be well earned. If we were made in his image then call us by our names. Most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same.” ~ Erykah Badu 

Isis and Horus 

I believe in God the same way I believe in creation. I believe that all people are manifestations of God and religion has its place in society. Anything practiced with the intention to love and empower people to improve the world is good in my book; if it does not, then it is not good. 

Every little ghetto boy and girl have God in them just the same as every little privileged boy and girl. Find it within yourself to tap into the person you believe yourself to be, even if the world has been telling you that you are not and can never be that person. You are who you believe yourself to be, for better or for worse, regardless of what the outside world projects onto you. 

In a society that strips us of our individuality then leaves us to fend for ourselves, there’s no wonder why depression, racism and violence run rampant. We feel powerless so we either relieve ourselves of all hope or project our feelings of powerlessness onto others. It’s a vicious cycle, but with knowledge of self, you will find what you have to offer the world and with this knowledge comes power. Build upon it and create the life you want. You can use this power to find peace within and to thus create a more peaceful world around you. This is independent of any outside forces that you allow to have more power over you than you have over yourself. 

Contrary to popular American belief, happiness doesn't discriminate based on race, class or creed. It’s based on an internal process that manifests itself externally based on perspective. As you project this energy, you will find that you will attract what you desire. Focus on who you are and what you do have instead of who you believe you are not and what you do not have. Then, you will watch your world change for the better.
