Memorable!





"Negro woman's classic beauty in her time captivated, in secret, so many white men hesitant to share their inner yearnings in the social climate of Jim Crow..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

Daughters in the vague, as vogue.


We all love innocence until it becomes stupid to be ignorant of the events swirling around us, as people are doing daily. It doesn't matter how many, or how brutally people are killed being distracted while driving, walking, riding public transportation or jogging in isolated areas; people insist upon their conveniences. It is more important than freedom.

Cell phone usage keeps women from noticing the energetic probes of danger, or admiration sent to them energetically. It is a strange thing, but it lifts predators from excessive caution while studying prey. Stalking without drawing attention to self is a skill with minimal usage in today's world with the consuming power of cell phones' illusion of necessity and identity. Easiest of targets are children and women.

"Do we help them?" a protector asks. The expected answer is yes; but 'why' as the second question leads us to a conclusion: if Life isn't precious why protect them? Protecting them from themselves is the task, and weighed against that task is it worth it?

WHAT WE ARE RESPSONSIBLE FOR!


Gregory E. Woods walking in Daddy's spirit. I was in a park in Bowie, MD.
We were conducting a relaxed manhood session in March 2017.



Willie T. Stoddard likes to write profound observations as comment, or reaction to the beauty of former Playboy model, Abby Parece's photos. I have read a few of them. But, this one he wrote angered the woman! She said, "Did this make you feel better to waste your time writing tons of nonsense in my page over a damn quote from a movie. 😂 pathetic!" Four other men sided with her. I wanted to ask if the words were from a movie and if so what was the movie? It wasn't what I really wanted to know, but online people tend to be frivolous without articulation that merits the concentration of thought. These are the following words the model detested, Mr. Stoddard wrote:

"In Western psychology, some approaches stress the importance of reinforcing ego to enhance self-esteem. We may misinterpret this to mean that we should promote ourselves at the expense of others. A person may become very self-centered with this attitude. It is like you are saying to the world, “Don’t you know who I am? I am what I am. If I’m attacked for that, that’s too bad. I’m on the side of the right.” You feel justified in what you’re doing, as if you had God on your side, or at least law and order on your side.


Perhaps we should reexamine these assumptions, to see what really works. We need to investigate whether it’s beneficial to build ourselves up, especially to do so by putting others down. We need to seriously question what is harmful and what is beneficial. In my own experience, I have found that employing a self-centered approach and being constantly on the defensive are not helpful.


Rather than reinforcing our “me-ness” and justifying ourselves constantly, we should base our lives on something more powerful and trustworthy. If we develop real trust in ourselves, constant self-defense is no longer required. That may sound good, but what are we going to trust in ourselves? To begin with, we need to look within ourselves. When we look, what do we see? Ask yourself: Is there something worthwhile and trustworthy in me? Of course there is! But it’s so simple that we tend to miss it or discount it. When we look into ourselves we tend to fixate on our neurosis, restlessness, and aggression. Or we might fixate on how wonderful, accomplished, and invulnerable we are, but those feelings are usually superficial, covering up our insecurities."

Whatever the man's intention was I found a decent rant that has tremendous insight into the psychology of white people. In the simplest terms it shows a profound lack of soul my Ancients were well aware of centuries ago. What is missing is Ubuntu. Americans subscribing to Western psychology cannot resolve their major obstacles to clear thinking, or unravel the chaos Trump brought to the world stage, nor understand the Catch-22 of their thinking into action because of the distance between where they live in their cultural stories, and where the standard Ubuntu resides. Why this is, is found in unearthing what belief in Christianity did to the Europeans in centuries past!

What Ubuntu is lives in the stories throughout the African cultures that embrace Ubuntu deep in the marrow of their bones and the fabric of their souls.


"A white man visiting a small African village was playing with the children. To make the game interesting he told the children he would give the winner of the race a bag of candy. The kids lined up and raced to the tree. The winner was given the bag. The winner surrounded by the other children eating the candy with him was so happy, but the white man was confused. He didn't understand why the children were sharing the victory. They told him, "Ubuntu!"

What they embodied was this: "I am because we are!"

This is an incomprehensible way of relationship for us in the West. The momentum of world peace flows towards Ubuntu, but deep peace is too distant from the relationship of taking, and war as a way of life. We are the greatest producers of killers, graduating thousands from high school each year, who for the most part don't kill, but ache to kill. Killing feeds the killers and the culture of high level of violence governing the U.S. plagues the conscience of many citizens, but not to the point of core changes taking place. We are comfortable with toying with ideas, but reluctant to be the change at the core level of being. The hope is that ideals will become reality without the prerequisite spiritual work taking place within us, and nationally we cannot deter from what was begun in the long ago when European countries sailed across the Atlantic ocean.

Abby Parece. Sneak a peak.

Poor Unrighteous Teachers



Intermitting sometime, I still ask, If Racism is taught, who taught the first racist? ●◎● Anyhoo, “You are my slave.” ● "School officials say there will be no more Civil War-related student dress-up activities at a Georgia elementary school after its “Civil War Day” sparked conflict among students, parents and others.

Big Shanty Elementary School last month invited fifth-graders to dress up as characters from the war. {Yes, in 2017]

The mother of a 10-year-old black child says a white student dressed as a plantation owner approached him and said, “You are my slave.”

In a Thursday letter to the mother, Corrie Davis, a Cobb County assistant superintendent assured that student dress-up activities related to the Civil War have come to an end at the school about 25 miles northwest of Atlanta.

With more than 110,000 students, Cobb County is Georgia’s second-largest school system." 




It annoys and angers and lastly saddens me how shallow the approach to history is popular today. It is weak-kneed. Black and white parents and teachers haven't the strong character or the scholarship to match the imagination it takes to teach at each level what a child needs to understand about his country; this country.

We are paying a price for this level of mimicry of righteousness, and the cowardice of the adults in this country that is the most violent and intimidating nation on the planet! Trying to tidy up a dark past is impossible to do. The European and the Euro-Americans wrote everything down. The record of their exploiting, killing and taking have always been sources of pride and their achievement by blood is what makes American great; it is 'the' thing Americans are most proud of. It is a helluva contradiction, but lying about it and carrying on like we are 'sensitive' is hypocrisy, and laughable.

In the end citizens look weak and pitiful. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Oct. 22, 2017) 






The teacher is important in the education of a child.  


The teacher is important in the education of a child. What inspires boys to go to school is different from what inspires girls whom the system is made for. Boys need movement. If you won't let them play, let them imagine. If you don't develop the whole, suffer with the parts disconnected from the wholeness Life was meant to express! Resolution of this problem is as complicated as denial. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
