White Women as Subjects

Art is from the hand of Tim Kelly, from Baltimore. 


This title: "White Women as Subjects" is a volatile one. It is one subject in history too often unknown in depth by today's young American women activists. As well, they are subject to emotions convinced that the intensity of their reactions to social conditions is enough to make the walls of Jericho to come tumbling down! This isn't naivety. This is ignorance. The ignorance of assumption is primarily laziness. Activism is hard work. The hard part of it is the research. Research is work, and respectful of those who lived our pasts.

Understanding European history is basic to the Women's Movement. It explains; no, makes clear why the movement is first and primarily a white woman's struggle to be free. Other women are subjects to the 'crown'. Because of events unique to the 20th century, other women feel apart of this movement. Because the societal changes in the U.S. need to be white led, and the fact of what ails the souls of white women this movement is fraught with internal contradictions. For Black and Red women, the struggle is to free themselves from the histories of their past with white women, and their white men, who traveled the world killing and taking from the rest of the world. In this conquest, the inherent terror white women harbor within their wombs is of concern to us only in our relationship to the horror of what they did to other people's women!

If there is to be a woman's movement let the white women have theirs, and let our women have theirs off camera at the soul level in the ancestral realms...

As We Have felt, as I have dreamt.



“Beyond the edge of the world there’s a space where emptiness and substance neatly overlap, where past and future form a continuous, endless loop. And, hovering about, there are signs no one has ever read, chords no one has ever heard.” —Haruki Murakami

How You Love



"This has a grounding force and a centering capacity much the Ma'at presents herself to balance our elements.


Grand Dame of Virginia cooking, Ms. Edna Lewis.


In gratitude, Adruma Victoria shared: A Grand Mother revealed insights of spiritual maturity. "When you die God will ask you three questions. While on earth how much did you practice love for God, love for people, love for nature?"

This sharing of revelations always sparks the mind to reflect and being mindful of her sharing is a commandment to love in the deeper meaning of the action of loving. I like to think of
Adruma as a loving man capable of being vulnerable, tough and focused with his own wisdoms as a husband to emulate and take serious, and as a father who developed relationship with his wife to give gifts to the world in their children. It is tough work being a man whose word is power and poetry. It is a strong man who listens to the Grand Mothers. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/9/17

The Veil Over Humanity




The cycle of birth, old and death reveals much as to the nature of our un-enlightened mind. We are under the veil of inherent slavery to mesmerisms of the media, violence and various subconscious addictions. The 3 attributes of the inner flame must be developed by prayer, decree and meditation. The attributes of wisdom, love and power are the qualities I speak of.

The veil of mesmerism includes being caught by the news and media which sends us perverted images of the inner flame. One good decree for overcoming this is:

In the name of the I AM Presence transmute (3X) all perversions of the news and media which attempt to fascinate and captivate the minds of the torch bearers.

Recently, I had the opportunity to hear a minister from the Congo speak about the veil that is covering humanity. I was very surprised in that it sounded superstitious to me. It wasn't until I had a meditation in which I saw this veil as a covering. Something like a dark cloud.

This is why it is so important that lightbearers and torchbearers use the tools that they have to armor ourselves and our loved ones. Increasingly as we near the time when the consciousness of humanity is moved toward taking it's rightful place as Sons and Daughters of the most High we will be attacked by news and media. We will also be attacked by sounds, rhythms and distorted images which are perversions of the light.

This is not work that I had planned to write about. Sela. The Ascended Masters are sending us light and I AM a humble Torchbearer.

A Hidden Story


Acheria, The Fox: a Basque story



ONE day a fox was hungry. He did not know what to think. He saw a shepherd pass every day with his flock, and he said to himself that he ought to steal his milk and his cheese, and to have a good feast; but he needed some one to help him in order to effect anything. So he goes off to find a wolf, and he says to him,

"Wolf, wolf! we ought to have a feast with such a shepherd's milk and cheese. You, you shall go to where the flocks are feeding, and from a distance you must howl, 'Uhur, uhur, uhur.' The man, after having milked his sheep, drives them into the field, with his dog, very early in the morning, and he stops at home to do his work, and then he makes his cheese; and, when you have begun to howl 'Uhur, uhur,' and the dog to bark, the shepherd will leave everything else, and will go off full speed. During this time I will steal the milk, and we will share it when you come to me."

The wolf agreed to have a feast, and set out. He did just what the fox had told him. The dog began to bark when the wolf approached. And when the man heard that he went off, leaving everything, and our fox goes and steals the vessel in which the curdled milk was. What does he do then, before the arrival of the wolf? He gently, gently takes off the cream, thinly, thinly, and he eats all the contents of the jug. After he has eaten all, he fills it up with dirt, and puts back the cream on the top, and he awaits the wolf at the place where he had told him. The fox says to him, since it is he who is to make the division, that as the top is much better than the underneath part, the one who should choose that should have only that, and the other all the rest. "Choose now which you would like."

The wolf says to him,

"I will not have the top; I prefer what is at the bottom."

The fox then takes the top, and gives the poor wolf the vessel full of dirt. 1 When he saw that, the wolf got angry; but the fox said to him,

"It is not my fault. Apparently the shepherd makes it like that."

And the fox goes off well filled.

Another day he was again very hungry, and did not know what to contrive. Every day he saw a boy pass by on the road with his father's dinner. He says to a blackbird,

"Blackbird, you don't know what we ought to do? We ought to have a good dinner. A boy will pass by here directly. You will go in front of him, and when the boy goes to catch you, you will go on a little farther, limping, and when you shall have done that a little while the boy will get impatient, and he will put down his basket in order to catch you quicker. I will take the basket, and will go to such a spot, and we will share it, and will make a good dinner."

The blackbird says to him, "Yes."

When the boy passes, the blackbird goes in front of the boy, limping, limping. When the boy stoops (to catch him), the blackbird escapes a little further on. At last the boy, getting impatient, puts his basket on the ground, in order to go quicker after the blackbird. The fox, who kept watching to get hold of the basket, goes off with it, not to the place agreed upon, but to his hole, and there he stuffs himself, eating the blackbird's share as well as his own.

Then he says to himself,

"I shall do no good stopping here. The wolf is my enemy, and the blackbird, too. Something will happen to me if I stay here. I must go off to the other side of the water."

He goes and stands at the water's edge. A boatman happened to pass, and he said to him:

"Ho! man, ho! Will you, then, cross me over this water? I will tell you three truths."

The man said to him, "Yes."

The fox jumps (into the boat), and he begins to say:

"People say that maize bread is as good as wheaten bread. That is a falsehood. Wheaten bread is better. That is one truth."

When he was in the middle of the river, he said:

"People say, too, 'What a fine night; it is just as clear as the day!' That's a lie. The day is always clearer. That is the second truth."

And he told him the third as they were getting near the bank.

"Oh! man, man, you have a bad pair of trousers on, and they will get much worse, if you do not pass over people who pay you more than I."

"That's very true," said the man; and the fox leapt ashore.

Then I was by the side of the river, and I learnt these three truths, and I have never forgotten them since.

Footnotes: 

44:1 Cf. Campbell's tale, "The Keg of Butter," Vol. III., 98, where the fox cheats the wolf by giving him, the bottoms of the oats and the tops of the potatoes. See also the references there given.

Daddy, I thought of you in four stories

Chicktagram
5.23.13



Human Zoos were popular entertainment amongst white people in the United States, Australia and Britain well into the 20th century. It is an unbroken legacy changed only by law; not necessarily within the heart to the degree that the evil of racism and white supremacy has left the heat of the land upon which it dwells in colored people's dreams and aspirations. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 1.24.15 





2. The U.S. is a Vassal State of Israel


It is a very unpopular vote to vote on the side of Palestine. Over here in the States I can count on one hand how many times I've heard outrage in churches, or communities of people over the system of apartheid Israel holds over Palestinians. There are reasons for that. The very reasons there are are the very reasons something is askew within our thinking about life, liberty and justice! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1.24.15






drawing of a Cowboy 



3. Hitler in us?


If Hitler would come back into another life it would have not been as a physical resemblance of himself. There would be some sort of transformation within his being because in the transitory period from his former life to another he would have suffered and gone through tremendous and unheard of (to us) trails and retributions to even see the light of another life upon the Earth, our Mother. It is not to say he would have ascended from the role he played as Destroyer or ascended from the depths of the lowest energies he maneuvered in into high ranges of creative and transformative energies!

If life after death is like the three blood religions (Islam, Christianity and Judaism) teach he wouldn't return. He'd be in hell, fire and brimstone forever. But, if life in each form including the deaths we experience from birth to grave transforms us what would a Hitler transform into? Or do the Hitlers in our world serve as a cleansing purpose to make good people live better, honest people tell the truth, cowards stand up for others or the fearful find courage? - Gregory E. Woods, 1.24.15






Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, 



4. Responsibility of a King



This past weekend for a lack of a better way to put it belongs to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. There is a lot to say about his legacy and about the citizens who occupy the country. White people need direction and guidance out of their creative illusions that exclude them from being a part of the solutions for racial divisions, and Black people need guidance through the maze of our fear based contradictions about being free and freed from slavery. Koreans and Chinese and Hispanic American citizens need escape from their delusions about being white enough to be accepted by whites as equals. In the end they will find out they aren't with great and significant disappointment.


Black Americans no longer own the impetus of change the Civil Rights movement stirred on the balmy water of Southern congeniality. White people do. The moment in 1963 in Washington DC is where Dr. King is interred for viewing and consideration and admiration. It is the most white American 'somebodies' can stomach from the profound changes Dr. King was in the midst of, created, and mustered into the social circles of Southern comfort and Northern pretense at liberalism.


Dr. Clarke, Black America's esteemed historian, scholar and thinker, pointed out in an interview when he was blind and old that Black People enjoyed the ceremony of protest and shunned the action and the work of change. He said it different in his own words, but it is ever so clear to me, and many others deeply involved and invested in the spiritual, and community work within the Black psyche. 


That's what social work is. It involves work within the Black psyche. It is not about housing, social reform, legalization, it is about what swirls within the minds and spirits of a people who do not own themselves, do not own their own images; whose images are owned by white people with or without power. A people earmarked by slavery twice over are not as free as is proclaimed by Southern and Northern whites. With the legacy of slavery in our souls, and the law of the land allowing in its very constitution a continuation of its evil thread upon heart, mind, body and soul of darker hued people we are double slaves. That is not accurate for everyone physically because not every Black American has been or is incarcerated. What is true is the large number who are and have been are earmarked for it by a design. . . - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1.20.15




Daddy holding his great grandaughter Erin-Elaine, my granddaughter, is a living reminder to me of the struggles of the Civil Rights movement and the impression of Black intelligentsia that is down played in Black culture. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories July 2015

Purpose Revealed






"...Your third Mission here on Earth is one that is uniquely yours, and that is: to exercise that Talent that you particularly came to Earth to use, in the place(s) or setting(s) that God has caused to appeal to you most, and for those purposes that God most needs to have done in the world.

Your second Mission here on Earth is one that you share with the rest of the human race. .. to do what you can, moment by moment, day by day, step by step, to make this world a better place, following the leading and guidance of God's Spirit within you and around you.

Your first Mission here on Earth is one that you share with the rest of the human race... and it is to seek to stand hour by hour in the conscious presence of God, the One from whom your Mission is derived." ~ Richard N. Bolles

What is within?

Marie Lawrence is an exquisite beauty!!!!


For me the saying, "I fell in love, or we fell in love." draws attention to a weakness in a warrior's shield. It also implies an immediate option, or way out! Love is an action and an act of power from the intent, the will and the spoken word. These three come from a world, a center of being, and you cannot run from your center. It is always with you. What changes within one's love is positioning. How you, or the other one positions themselves in relationship to how the two of you will love, chose to love, define, and regard and understand love, and loving another is your definition of love! 

I have learned there is movement in stillness, and love is action beginning with a need, and a decision. In other words, love is a dance with a question: "How do we dance within love?"

BLACK OF CREATION INTO LIGHT

The matter of every star and planet in the universe is created in 7 forms. In modern words these are magnetism, electricity, light, ether, gases, liquids, and solids. The 4th substance, ether, is the central supporting substance of the other 6. It is the womb of creation called space. It is black in color, as one can see by looking out into space at night. This absolute blackness called space not only supports the other substances, but it also gives individual color to all objects because the color black contains all other colors in itself. Hence when the b8m original Gods made themselves new bodies they covered them in skin whose color is black getting it directly from the ether. Because the Gods create all plants and animals from their own bodies they need to have all colors stored in a single color in their creative germ, which is called the dark dominant germ or gene, the source of what modern people call melanin. - Abdul Mueed Koran Bey

The Holy Trinity The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit The Mother, the Daughter and the Divine Life T 

2. The 24 Elders are called the Fathers and Mothers of the Nation. Each Elder is called Father by his tribe, and his wife, the Queen, is called Mother. The 144 Chiefs are called the Sons and Daughters of the Elders. Each Chief is called the Son by his clan, and the co-Chief, his wife, is called the Daughter. The 144,000 Judges are called the Holy Spirit, or Divine Life, by the residents of their town.

3. The three groups of our leaders, the Elders, Chiefs, and Judges, are called the highest Holy Trinity.

4. Their designation as the highest holy trinity comes from the following teaching: "We are taught that the true name of reality, or all of existence, is the holy trinity. At the beginning of creation that has no beginning, God created reality in the form of a triangle, or three-sided "form", or trinity. To this day, all reality is created in exactly the same way, every time."

5. First God divided into 2, and then into 3, and when he/she became three, then reality, or all of existence in the universe, came into being. Since that moment, every event in reality, every action in life, every movement in the universe, every facet of life whatsoever, is in the form of the holy triangle. We are taught that when a young girl sweeps the floor of her house that event is in the form of the divine trinity. When a boy plays a drum or a woman BLACKROOTS SCIENCE dances to music, all those movements are in the form of the holy trinity, or triangle of reality.

6. In the case of the young girl, she is called the mother of her divine trinity. The clean floor that results from her sweeping is called the daughter of her divine trinity, and the act of sweeping is called her holy spirit.

7. The boy playing the drum is called the father of his actions. The music he brings into existence is called his son and the act of playing the drum is called his holy spirit.

8. The dancing woman is also the mother of her actions. The dance resulting from her actions is her daughter, and the action of her swaying hips is called her holy spirit. To our ancestors, every action is holy, and is called the holy spirit. When you type a message on the computer that typing action is your holy spirit. The message you create is your son or daughter, and you are the father or mother of your holy trinity, or triangle of reality.
African beauty of Deja Belle, fb

9. Every result of every action is called the son or daughter of its creator, and the individual creating it is its father or mother. This is called the divine trinity by means of which reality comes into existence.

10. All reality exists by the manifestation of the divine trinity in every universal event, however serious or mundane.

11. Reality manifests on the highest level as God (the Father/Mother), the universe (the son/daughter), and life (the holy spirit). So God, the universe, and life are the highest manifestation of the holy trinity, or triangle of existence.

12. The Holy Trinity is personified on the highest level in the persons of the 24 Elders as the Fathers/Mothers, the Custodians of Unity; the 144 Chiefs as the Sons/Daughters, or Custodians of Universal Energy; and the 144,000 Judges as the Holy Spirit, or Custodians of Divine Life. Our leaders are called the Highest Holy Trinity.

13. In addition, the Elders are called the Custodians of Divine Unity. (Divine means perfect, complete, whole or holy). Divine unity is another name for the oneness of God.

14. The 24 Elders are also called the home of eternity. When the singers compose their songs they call them by many other names. The poets use even more names as they feel inspired to sing their praises. But of all the names of the Elders the most popular and most beloved is simply Mother and Father. In the eternal language of the Black Nation, mother is Ma and father is Ra. Ra and Ma, or simply RAMA. THE HOLY TRINITY. That is the eternal name of God.

15. And it is by the will of God that reality manifests on earth in the form of the divine triangle.

16. That is the origin of the expression, "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit", also called by our people, the Mother, the Daughter. - Abdul Mueed Koran Bey

SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY

"...the questioner wants to know whether a man of low state, low education, can realize that spiritual and true intelligence, that uniqueness. He can if he begins vigorously to question and to discover the significance of established values, and thus release creative thought. Unfortunately, such people have very little time to themselves, they are overworked, they are exhausted at the end of the day. But you who are supposed to be educated, who have leisure, can see to it that these others have also the right environment in which to live and think, and are not ceaselessly imposed upon and exploited" - J. KRISHNAMURTI

Mereana, the question you pose to the listener and the reader of this quote, "Will you? Are you willing to co-create this climate with others in fully unconditional co-operation?" is basically a question into people's spiritual responsibility to one another. - Gregory 9.10.13

"...these medicine words have their own Spirit guardians ...they will choose who is ready or whatsoever to take such a journey ...it is The Way." - Mereana

YESTERDAY 8 months ago

Kelly Madison is posted because she was the first
smiling face I saw online this morning.


"There is a lot I've said about Education, but the less said about it reveals the most about it. "

I am sitting at my desk on, what I just heard on the television is, the last day of fall. It is the 30th day of November 2012. I am writing today, and you are reading this on the 26th of June next year. If you read this the second it came up it is 8:56 AM. In a novel sense this is time travel. What it is is time manipulation. Playing with perceptions is to write upon the stars, and upon the Earth. Play with perceptions is to write from the past directly into the future. It is a direct penetration into the folds of existence, and a probing finger into the belly of questions about the movements within and between worlds. It is not unlike the mysterious ability of anyone to stand in the dark of night in the mountains, or the open plains anywhere in the world in the present moment looking up at the stars to see the past, and within their being; their centered being see, dream and project into the future. Being in 3 places at one time is the minimum capacity of understanding about Time average people have about the illusion of time. It is the fact and reality of worlds that separates and frightens average souls from the perceptions of children and masters accessing worlds with ease, and confidence.

On the other side of the views into realms of life are people studying themselves as we are looking at ourselves to 'see' with the depth of the Present into the wellspring of multiple existences upon and within the Earth realms. It is the concentric circles that confound average minds, and inform the terror of linear minds thinking they can contain the forces of change, movement and transformation. It is an innocent acknowledgement, on their part, to the mysterious things around our terrestrial lives, but the fears of linear, and conservative minds retards growth, and narrows children, and religious people to the small patches of Earth in front of them. They can't see in other worlds.

There are millions of people today reeling in disbelief in the wake of Romney's loss to President Obama! It is astounding on several levels the most profound of which is the deep reluctance of his like-minded followers to look squarely in the face of a long time coming change in the United States: the shift in demographics. American's might is questionable. Looking into the illusions we've supported ourselves is a frantic nervousness in the tones of American diplomacy, and the resistant elements within the Republican party to admit it needs to protect the whiteness of what they feel makes America great! Denying it has been a haphazard joke, and millions of us suffer from the brunt of the joke. Racial tensions have not subsided; inequality is the definitive quality of reform in education, services, and the infrastructure, which suffers in silence. The collapse of bridges, and roads will jar Congress into late action. Right now the minimal and dismal attention to the structure of the roads, and what physically holds the country intact is numbed into silence with enormous arrogance, and a need to control selfishly.

The selfishness in the halls of Congress, and the rooms of corporate boardrooms are the trademark of our country, and I don't see the spiritual, and economic pillars of the country changed by June of next year. It isn't feasible because Americans prefer to try and solve problems from the surface. If we did we'd restructure the structures.

 But, if I am dead in June it will mess with reader's head if they personally know me. It will be an "Oh, shit!" moment. But for now I am alive and it is the last day of last November, and I am writing in my office. My cat, Teacher, is to my left on my bookcase looking out the window on a chilled afternoon. It is 1436 hours. Teacher is sitting on my Coyote skin in deep contemplation as I am myself deeply contemplating the simple things of my life that bring me joy, and mystery to that joy.

I'd stepped outside a little while ago wrapped up in my black cape I've had since I was young in North Africa. Our postman is a Black woman, a rather good looking one, with a full deep brown-colored face, and a loud embracing laugh. It's funny. Not 16 years ago mail carriers would be engaging in conversations, and listening to portable radios. Now, they are on phones. The sound is different. There are more monologues in public, less communication, more selfishness, and fears have grown like weeds in an unattended field.

I am moving away from working with disturbed youth into the light of children full of light who want to learn, and I'm developing relationships with white facilitators in the peace keeping field in large part because of the disillusionment Black Americans seem to give credit and credence to, and the commitment in our circles to not growing in the deepest, and more creative ways. Well, I could go on a bit, but my eyes are tired, and I need to rest my mind, and my spirit. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.30.12

"A sweeping gesture is the initial gaze into this woman's presence, and the gasp comes from not believing, and from believing what is captured by the photographer, and what the model has within her composure is the butterfly flutter of the song she vibrates, and the type of prose that begets the start of something new to arise from the comfortable places where creativity is dormant.

In her face is the beginning of understanding beautiful moments, a beautiful woman, a song whispered in the clouds, and the breath of Life, so short, but expanded by the beautiful things women consciously nurture and arouse with the vision and inspiration of their souls!" - Gregory E. Woods (11.30.12)
