AFRICA, the question the answer

You ask, "Where is the Original/African/Black/Kemetic/Nubian/Alkebulan/ Plans for the future?" It's in two places: within our Being, and within our children. Birthing it is as difficult as it is to center and discover the African of our ancestry... I am taken aback. The question was unexpected. In the years since I lived in Africa I learned the hard way not to speak about Africa in African American communities. I wish times and Black America was changing at the level of this question. – Gregory E. Woods

African woman be praised !!!!

“The blueprint of our future was laid down in the beginning. It’s just been buried and long forgotten by those of the unsound mind and since we are the draftsmen of today we must retrace the stepping stones and the building blocks of those who left them behind for us to grasp and synchronize and then we can follow the blueprint for tomorrow because it was already pre-planned. We were given the contract of contact information and Unification, Solidarity and all out Re-evolution is the only solution.


Black Power, love, peace, and soul!!! - Huey Newton, 2012

“Huey Newton, your words resonate with the truth of sacred stories that are being told around fires and during ceremonies around the world today by Peace Keepers, Wisdom Keepers and Shamans and thousands of people who are awakening and awakened by the memory and the presence of their ancestor's words buried within them preceding their births. The prophecies of the four (4) races are saying the same things. These are the times of coming together.” – Gregory E. Woods

2012 Primaries: Let The Games Begin

The United States spends more on its military than the rest of the top 15 nations with the highest military expenditure. The rest of the list includes China ($119 billion), UK ($59.6 billion), France ($59.3 billion), Russia and so on… The military industrial complex has strained democracy thin, drained our coffers, and altered the essence of right and wrong in apparent and imperceptible ways as we spread terror in creative and crude ways around the globe. Minimizing the fundamental needs of American citizens created a baffling mentality that accepts irrational justification of policies that do not benefit Life. Our worship of, and relationship with the military industrial complex has borne a curious standard social consciousness engineers have cultivated within US citizens. It is best illustrated in our entertainment.


For example, Bond girl Honey Ryder, played by Ursula Andress, and Kim Kardashian’s wedding evoked more spirited scrutiny than the dismantling of environmental protections, or the dismantling of women’s rights around the globe overwhelmed by conservative political movements and fundamental religious clerics and fanatics. Our social consciousness is suspect because the sense of spiritual responsibility isn’t part of our national conversation. Our spiritual responsibilities are suspicious creatures our maturity level is incapable of seeing. A sense of a spiritual responsibility isn’t part of our national conversation. What passes for a sense of global responsibility fanatically purchases trinkets in Wal-Mart, and camps on streets to buy a pair of tennis shoes, and shops at 4AM the day after Thanksgiving with a fiery spirit of purpose while in cities across the nation Wall Street protestors up in arms about the industries, the ideologies, and policies that created the conditions the American consumer is responding to like puppets on a string shiver in the cold uncertain about the future and the durability of being alone, defiant, in a sea of conformity. ©Gregory E.

WHAT STORIES WILL CHANGE CONDITIONS 6

Michelle ‘Sujai’ Harvey, on Manhood

“It seems to me that Young girls are the conversationalist. I have found woman must train men to speak to things that stimulate women. Players are the men who take the time to learn the art of seduction through words & they get most of the women. Most men try to impress women with things not words. Women take the things but they desire the words. Since words are far and few between we settle for things. Train the boys to talk. That is what is missing from most relationships. Women can seduce men with words or stimulate them. The problem is few men inspire us to make the effort.” –Michelle Harvey

 

DARK MYSTERIES: spiritual women

Amanda Seyfried, actress, nailed a role in the movie Red Riding Hood. I went to see it in the theatre, and I've seen it a few times on cable because the storyteller draws an intense storyline about the closeness of women's intuition in a man's world, and her deep spiritual connections to elements that terrified European men... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

TORTURE


this is a phenomenon i cannot grasp at any level. Yet there are women who submit to it with pleasure climaxing between pain, fear, their own death and sexual stimulation. Where does this come from? What elements call out and speak for a soul willing to submit to sexual torture? How does divinity merge into something as dark as this? - dawn wolf, keeper of stories

SEXUAL ENERGIES: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

August 28, 1963

"Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

"... Dr. King had side women in his life, but by the time it became public knowledge it was of no importance to Black Americans because the axiom in African traditional thought places value on relationships above all, and the efforts of white Americans to present the evidence and shame were unsuccessful. The same thing years later perplexed white Americans trying to bring down Washington DC mayor, Marion Barry during his productive four terms, about African-Americans loyalty to their leaders. I studied these things hard as a father, but as a young man the Moroccan landscape, Moroccan women, and Gibran’s words were developing and opening a discipline within me, and creating enormous sexual tension, and powerful music within my being trying to get out of me as expressions of sound and movement..."  ©Gregory E. Woods 

Dorothy Dandridge

"Aug. 28, 1963, Dr. King, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, addressed marchers during his "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. My father was there and I was too young to travel so Mommy, my sister Cynthia and I watched it on TV and searched the newspapers the next day for pictures of the event to see if we could see Daddy in the crowd. We found him, or so we thought. All of the parallels of that world and the aftermath of that moment were non-existent to me then. But here in the future I am and my father who later became the Chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality in Washington DC is a great-grandfather and aging. Many things have changed since 1963..." ©Gregory E. Woods, excerpt Songs of a Father

The Centre of the Wheel

Moving the Assemblage Point

with Leo Rutherford, Howard G. Charing & Dawn Russell

The Level of Energy of all beings depends on three fundamental factors;
· The amount of energy with which they were conceived,
· The manner in which the energy has been utilised since birth,
· And the way in which it is being used at the present time. - Carlos Castaneda

There is a teaching that 80% of our energy is locked into habit, rigid patterns from generational & social conditioning and our personal history. The remaining 20% constitutes our true free will. The great teaching of the Medicine Wheel is to light a path to guide us towards release of these rigid habit patterns and addictions which, when unlocked, generates a reservoir of energy which can be used cognitively and with conscious intent. This is true free will and freedom - no longer living parental and cultural dreams but truly living our own.

The ultimate purpose of this body of practices is freedom. Freedom has powerful implications. Among these is that people must purposely seek and embrace change. It is no easy task to embrace change and thereby unlock the rigid structures which we have inherited, but we have innate magical qualities within ourselves to help us on the path to freedom.

Black powerful woman in control !!!!

In heightened awareness there is no objective world, but a universe consisting of flowing fields of energy where there is no subjective linear time. The particular alignment that we perceive as ‘the world’ is a product of ourselves. This alignment is within our own personal field of energy is called the ‘Assemblage Point’. On this course we work with the non-cardinal directions of the Medicine Wheel, the ‘movers and changers’.

The first movement, we begin the course at the South East, at our very beginning on the Earth, our conception and womb time when we have already started to absorb generational patterns, and emotional responses. By increasing our knowledge of what these are, we gain the ability to release and start the realignment of our assemblage point and thereby our terms of reference to the world. This part will include an overnight burial ceremony.

The second movement, is to the Southwest to examine our ‘Dream of Life’ - that which our soul has brought us into incarnation to experience and learn from. The objective is to ‘see’ this dream and apply our focussed will and intent to recreate and update this dream to one that meets with our soul’s needs now.

This is literally a step on the road to reinventing our-Self. The focus of this meeting will be the Circle of Mirrors ceremony which we have experienced as part of the South course. This time we will revisit this powerful ceremony from a whole different perspective. Includes the moving of the Assemblage Point with the aid of a crystal

The Third movement, is to the Northwest to look at pattern vs freewill (change and chaos) in our lives, to seek to strengthen our will to challenge patterns, habits and especially addictions. Ceremonies will include Trance-Dance, Trance postures and other pattern awareness shaking activities. This part may well be seriously challenging and is likely to involve some home-projects of a possibly challenging nature!

The fourth movement, is to the northeast and is about looking at the design and choreography of our lives and how we make our choices - and therefore how to actively make new and freer choices with consciousness and will. In a nutshell, to shift the assemblage point thus enabling seeing the world from other perspectives from which choices for freedom can more naturally be made.

This can shake up lives and worlds and assist greatly in the quest for ultimate freedom. Subtle energy dreaming exercises, painting, creating images, communing with nature energies will be part of this movement.

In the final meeting we will each sit in the Centre Of Our Wheel Of Life and face the directions our lives have taken us that have brought us here and the directions we now choose for our life to take us. The ultimate object of the course is to shift from being a person governed by the cross of the four cardinal directions to a person living in flowing movement and change in touch with and guided by the powers of the four non-cardinals - the movers and shakers.
