EPIDEMICS: diseases of soul and bodies in our world!


Black Theology, Black Church

Many church goers are seeking individual salvation. Family and community is actually closer to being "Christian". I am convinced that the Kingdom of Heaven begins in the family. Return to the civility of our deeper mind to transcend the madness. "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you." African Proverb. The dominant culture still regards us as property, so we are forced to access divine wisdom as a collective that has eroded in too many of our youth. This is our responsibility.


The selfish angel dominated the children of God. He rapes the powerful and the weak. As a liar and a thief, he successfully educates the privileged to exploit the exploitable and feel satisfied while he rapes the human collective, causing all to behave like his children and not God's. We must address the pathology of contempt from the individual to the collective. The lust for power creates pirates who do not apologize for their behavior. - Adruma Victoria (2017)

African Mothers and AIDS 

Mothers2Mothers, an international non-profit organization, based in Cape Town, South Africa was born in 2001, was founded by Frank Beadle de Palomo and Robin Smalley. Mothers2Mothers work with pregnant mothers, and new mothers who are HIV+, empowering, teaching, training and employing the mothers. These women become advocates for the millions of women in sub-Saharan Africa to fight through the myths about HIV/AIDS for better quality to life, and a myriad of concerns facing the countries of Africa; not as common here in the United States! The infected women receive treatment, while pregnant, preventing the transmission of the disease to their unborn children. These mentor mothers empower and educate other mothers throughout sub-Saharan Africa in a concentrated way to diminish the transmission of HIV, and better equip mothers with the tools they need in their environments! In sub-Saharan Africa 200 babies a day are infected with the virus. 1.3 million pregnant women live with the virus in this region; it is estimated!

My research suspects this is a modest estimation to ease the enormity of the epidemic. Remember this is an epidemic! Now it is possible to reduce the chances of babies born with the virus to as low as 5% by technological advancements approved, and made profitable for Western countries to pour into Africa! Mothers2Mother is an organization, a movement to support, get behind and emulate in related fields of concern for women throughout the African Diaspora! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5/17/18

the Advantage of Knowing.





"God's are not found in theories or systems of thought. They are deeply personal and intimately woven to one's own seed descent.

Ancients and ancestors used symbolisms as guides and sign posts though each unique one comes to the Gods, the multiverse and humanity in their own way. There is no forced uniformity nor is it valued as a social good. It may be useful in the early stages of pedag
ogy... though it will soon become obsolete when self mastery is attained.

Discussions or observations about God's is not a rejection of other beliefs here. It is instead a reminder to restrain oneself from imposing a belief system on anyone.

Ancients and ancestors caution against demeaning others in their beliefs. I am instead reflecting on many many attempts on my Soul sovereignty by people calling themselves christian. In reality it is a violence against my sacred responsibility to walk in my own truth."
- Mereana Taki, October 8, 2017 
















[This] painted sepia beauty in the space of light and colors is energy to be defined, not by words, but emotions and knowledge of self, and other ingredients we need to know each other and ourselves... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 5/10/18

















Please accept My advantage in knowing all gender realities. If you do, you can help anyone who is struggling. Leave Mother God out, and I am half a God, a solo parent struggling to support Her children. Why not let God in the Feminine directly support women? As a Mother, a unique Mother, I am capable of what no human mother can do. I want to Parent you. And if you want to add value and give more than yourself, allow God to dwell within you. When the heart of God is beating within you, this rhythm empowers the spirit world to support you.
Expect that God will talk to self, weighing options, considering a huge and massive amount of information for the most productive of outcomes, specializing in personal interest, whenever possible. Only God knows, when and where too much starts for you. But, being God, is fraught with problems if people deny the MOTHERING aspect of God, if they set me on a throne, only to hold the King's hand.
Human families are designed to seek advice from both Parental aspects of God. Because I am one, I don't have a problem ascertaining personality for Myself. However, if people trust God they can understand that the masculine aspect of God can commune with the feminine and the other way around. So, laying your burden on the doorstep of Heavenly Mother does not exclude Heavenly Father and all His perceived strength." - Adruma Victoria (5/10/18)

ORIGIN OF


Sacred Feminine Presence elevated as a heavenly power,


Our Original Need


Our original need is to be one with God, but what does that really mean?

Much of history has left religious people centering upon the highly articulated needs of the path, upon certain formulae for recovery, and, of course, upon the emotionally satisfying and real experiences with God that provide the joy of life.

Then, we have more level-centered realities, where religion, equated with need, is set out for the young to comprehend a beginning point—with God, with religion, with faith, with character building and development, and with love.

We even have people trying to rescue others, but how much of this is original to the point that it addresses the need, and the questions that arise out of it, as to how to be one with God?
Even if God speaks through an object, God's voice might be muffled or heightened, characterized by flavor or accent, raspy or fully functioning to purpose, where purpose is understood (for all), in subject and object relationships.

At a time in history when God is specifying Her Needs, it is important that people understand need itself.

We do not have much of a record of anyone expressing what God’s Needs are. We can default to logic, saying that if God created humanity as She Herself is, or as He Himself is, then certainly since people as children of God have needs, they are enough like God to specify what needs God has.
Our problem is that after the Human Fall, people are unaware of what aspects of their needs, whether past, present, or future-focused, are either original or linked to a fallen legacy. Clearly, in terms of needs, people need to know what is original.

Moses, (a man), Jesus, (a man), and many other men, set about to address need, using their positions to explain to others about God, but their very need to understand need was based in their God-given original masculinity. What about women, when do they get to discover the same—that is, that their very need to understand need is based in their God-given original femininity?

We've rattled the cage of history, because history had the daughters of God calling out to Heavenly Father too many times at the expense of themselves, at the very expense of femininity found in all aspects of woman, women, girls, or infants. We found ourselves, not unlike those with dry mouths, unable to find the saliva to lubricate the very mouth of woman God, while men, men saw saliva of woman, women, as the gift of conjugal love—they rejoiced in it, for themselves and for their partnering in marriage. But did they (men) learn to ask the critical questions as to why God gave woman saliva for herself?

False Identity Mistakes.


Statue of Bronze Native Woman.
"I apologize for not knowing the name of the artist. Don't know how to find it. If anyone does I am more than interested in correcting this slight. It is one of the things about the Internet I don't like: respect for intellectual property."



Knowing God in the Feminine

If God has both femininity and masculinity, what about the times when God, in the feminine, wants to express Her Subjectivity? I've been wanting for a long, long time to discuss this. Now, I expect women will be very excited and more then keen to look at authority, their authority. I also expect that when they pray and liaise with God, in either gender format, they'll have differing, or potentially different questions, questions of God. I am more... comfortable to answer them if I know they know I have Femininity, and they won't be ratted out, crucified or scorned, but would flow in endless and even blissfully positive directions.


It is important for women to look at why God deferred certain action, why that action is favorable, feminine and productive, why patience is necessary, not just a virtue. So, all in all, the hope is to give, give love; and, for this I deferred giving things I have within Myself. Our legacy yearned for freedom but no freedom is secure without the freedom of God in both genders. For example, or case in point: Why didn't the Bible outline Jesus as referring to his discussions with his, or His, Divine Mother? Did he have the discussions and yet, the Bible leaves them out? Or, did he not have them?


As a percentage of understanding, very few human beings understand or have come to know God in the Feminine. It is very, very sad. Even so, the Deferral of God, in the Feminine, and also in the Masculine, as a Father who also with a Mother want the best for Her/His Children. The Good News is we can talk about the process, what has been deferred, meaning specific topics and unlock the past, free people and engage, knowing that God will continually educate, like all parents, to love their children through time, experience, and placement.

Adruma Victoria



You are asking people to unlock the past, Adruma. That is beyond an intellectual capacity. In a Euro-American setting like this one with most if not all subscribing to a measured concept of reality as we are taught this is quiet the stretch if one believes the intellect and the heart, or spiritual matters are separate. If so, it makes it hard to plunge into the quest you've laid out, and makes cowardice easy to disguise... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Feb. 27, 2017



A facsimile of a woman, or the idea of a woman has not risen to the heights maturity naturally guides feminine energies? Women tell the stories of our times. What is she telling us about her versus us?

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

Elders Talk: HIGH MATH



 Gen. 1:28 Be fruitful, multiply, dominion. Fruitful = mature ones character, creating mind/body unity centered on God. Individual sync with God.

Multiply = have children as a couple where the vertical love of God is rooted in the human family. To seek for man/woman love before maturing individual love of God first creates problems as the love of God can't flow freely within the couple, as the individual foundation for love is not established. - Adruma Victoria


African woman in black dress. 



"The notion that a man must first find himself before he finds his woman, or he'll damage whatever women he comes in contact with along the way is not an absolute. More than anything else this sentiment thinks of itself too highly. It is as if a man is a disease, and women crumble before his presence afflicted by his ineptitude. Is there any power within women? Is she indeed the weaker vessel without fortitude of her own? 

The complexity of development and revelation can lead thought and reflection on and on and on until patterns space themselves out into various modification of the formulas we are familiar with. When that happens we have become more than we thought and the exchanges between a woman and man can lead them down and up paths of discovery until both have balanced themselves together, or separately. 

I dig the way Adruma breaks down Genesis 1:28. His assessment moves consciousness from the crude into the thin intangible delicate spheres of awareness." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.23.14

"As men we are initiating subjects of equal value with women who are in object position. The reality we know is out of sync with the creation ideal in the heart of The Creator who created man and woman, as the subject/object representatives of His own inner subject/object dynamic. This was with the intention to achieve true and glorious subject/object relationship between man and woman such that The Creator is enraptured in our human stimulation, covering human love with God's love where everyone is honored, valued and equal partners in love. The ideals of the engagement of love have been trampled and all experience violation and betrayal. That would not be our collective experience had humanity followed the original flow of true love outlined above." - Adruma Victoria 5.23.14

"When other Original or Indigenous or First Nations Peoples reach out to each other, try your very best not to blast them with the rage you feel for your Oppressors and Dominators. The world is already far too violent without Tribal Peoples (or whatever you prefer in the english medium we are using) shooting each other in the foot cos we haven't developed enough Spiritual calm and necessary wisdom before we start lighting the fires of our oft legitimate rage for the situations we are facing. Let us not become the very dynamics and negative communicators of our Predators and would-be Destroyers by doing the job for them. Step back and THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH IF THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SEND INTO THE FUTURE FOR YOUR DESCENDANTS!" - Mereana Taki 8.20.14

"The deep seated unawareness that blankets the planet makes it extremely difficult to see from Our Common Parents perspective, thus the default to ignorance, fear, hatred and resentment is common as we pursue becoming beings free of antagonism. You will be lonely as you embrace the light within and share. Our Common Parent is the loneliest of all, 7Billion sons and daughters, who don't behave like our Loving Parent. How must that feel for a parent?" - Adruma Victoria 8.20.14

To SEE self in Light!




Powerful image



"When you die, your spirit will appear as pure light which is white. Higher Intelligence created man and woman. All this racial hate has absolutely nothing to do with Higher Intelligence and has absolutely zero value. Human fixation on skin and violation has absolutely nothing to do with Higher Intelligence. People be pink and brown and full of doo doo for the most part. Light your light shine revealing your Higher Intelligence, express pure love. It's what's inside and how we serve that determines lasting value." ~ Adruma Victoria 7.20.16

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

Out of the darkness, intolerance, prejudice and imbalance, you are working to reveal the power and sacredness in all woman and men. You, and many others of like mind, are beginning to remember who they are. You do not yet remember completely who you are, but soon you will and a great light will shine.

So much love and spirit,..

Well said. The photographer captured a moment many have not experienced. Out of fear a reluctance to touch the Earth, our Mother in the dark of night. In my life I have met some. Most, sadly shun the idea. That shunned how will our children, our grown children search and find enlightenment in their lifetimes in cyberspace, if concept of connection is online in pictures and images?

The Black Code


I remember with conflicting emotions and an element of grief this expressed as Black Power. The interpretation made by the American mindset and the American government was murderous. Today, the Black Lives Matter movement reflects and stirring up this same sense of being that welled up in the 1960's and '70's brings on sadness because we have not evolved beyond protest and "I wish." and "I hope we can."
Why our growth and evolution is retarded is unanswered retards the process. Will Blacks forever remain in this state, or become powerful? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7/20/16

TO THE ROOTS



Harlem couple in the early 20th century.



If we read the Bible, it tells us that
Adam and Eve fell by eating of the fruit
of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, but then what does it mean that
they covered their sexual parts? If the...

Christian churches had a mind to interpret
the Bible a little more intellectually,
they would immediately be able to
understand the origin of the Fall. Why
were Adam and Eve ashamed of their
sexual parts? Why did they cover them?
They should have covered their mouths
and hands. There is nothing wrong with
sexual organs. However, since people fell
through them, these parts of the human
body became a palace of shame where
heavenly love was violated. A spring of
true love should have welled forth from
there, but a fountain of false, devilish
love gushed out instead. That place
therefore became the stronghold of the
worst kind of love
.

Beyond Physical Appearance
By Dr. Sinclair Grey III

Let's face it - there are many people who look good on the outside but are tore up from the floor up on the inside. In a real sense, when people try to cover up their issues with stuff, they are failing to address the main problem - themselves. As my mentor told me years ago, 'a person with a flawed character can't hide it for so long.' Here's the Sinclair remix. Make sure you work on your character behind the scenes so that your inner beauty is so radiant that people will be drawn to you. I need to preach it and say, you can look good on the outside, but if you're messed up on the inside, you're unattractive.


The Bible says when the prophet Samuel was sent to anoint a king from the house of Jesse, he saw Eliab and thought he was the chosen one because of his appearance. But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." Please don't miss this. An individual's heart, their character, and their fear of the LORD is crucial. Physical appearance is good, but inner beauty is critical. - 5.23.14

CREATRESS

Bradley Cooper's fine 

"Women like God are the ultimate givers. The appearance of real man who loves unconditionally is at the core of Jesus' intention to restore the broken family of God. May God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit guide men to become the safety, dependability and love for God's bride and children we were created to be. As a man I feel repentful for the collective cluelessness and immaturity of my kind. When women and children are loved, protected and respected, we will have heaven on earth. Women have waited since the beginning of human existence for men to act like men."

Humans & Creation


tempting model is a sepia beauty




Adruma, Chris Heard's words, "Don't volunteer to have your money stolen; choose your partners, both in life and business, wisely." coincide with your words: 

"Everything is spiritual. The distinction is that in creation there are two categories: Humans (Lords of creation) manifesting at image level in relation to Creator subjects struggling with mind/body disparity. Creation: objects manifesting at symbolic level in relation to Creator, no mind/body disparity." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.27.13

Question to Light!




"Ask the light within, does it not get marginalized by both collective and individual ignorance? Hence God has children who exist below the level of their intended position. As a parent, the Creator experiences severely limited fulfillment in interacting with His children, who don't clearly know how to live and are responsible to get a clue on how to live at the frequency of true love, in which each individual is yet to own genuine resonance. Once we arrive at the divine vibration the cats and dogs will no longer have to shake their heads at the foolish humans. We will have found sync with the Creator, creation and ourselves; hence no more stupid limitations or false-ambitions." - Adruma Victoria 1.29.14

MASTERS AT IT


tattooed brown sista. 



Masters in the art of living.


Masters in the art of living are people who live in the vibration free of individualism or self-centered thought. They gather living together glorifying together with a heart of willingness to live for the sake of others and give endlessly.


Posers in the art of living.


Posers in the art of living. People who are gathered who have an attachment to " I," the individual to my situation, and to my possessions.

Each one of us, was born, to be a master in the art of living. Attendance or neglect determines our eternal environment.

Look At This!


"Death is part of life. When someone gets to be an elder then passes it is beautiful. We need to see the bigger picture of existence. Spirit leaves the body, tears are cool, but sadness should be fleeting and not a theme. Joy is the segue." - Adruma Victoria 2.1.14 




Original Gate

God does not have a body. He created man and woman to manifest as his body in the ideal creation. God is the original spiritual focal point first man and first woman the original physical focal point. These two focal points generate a 90° angle. This is God's purpose of creation and the purpose that people desire. Had the first man and woman maintained their original status, they would occupy the positions father and mother eternally in the spirit world; yet, they slipped below their original level giving rise to human ignorance.

Had they not dipped everyone would occupy heaven on earth and in the spirit world simply by attending their parents as though they were tending God. O.G.

Affirming Beauty in the African Stories

Anais Zanotti 


When Dr. John Henrik Clarke said, "The African Man is the greatest fighting machine God ever created!" he was speaking into the past about our past. His words are now a memorial to a glory and a fact now in the bygone, in our collective pasts. The African today is not the same. Africa isn't the the same Africa I traveled and lived in a few decades ago. Today African's fighting spirit has created a culture where Africans fight each other in business, politics, and regard the white man as a God. Africans on the continent are increasingly bleaching their skins, and many African women are looking as much like a white woman as chemically possible. Too many Africans living in the United States harbor lofty views about Black Americans whites taught them, and the two communities (Africans and Black Americans) are not bed partners in terms of business. One cannot trust the other for the contempt the other feels for the host brethren.

In daily life the tone of late great African thinkers and historians are not capturing the life struggles and changes amongst descendants of the great African fighters. This a dangerously broad subject predictably seldom discussed between Africans from the continent and Black Americans from the US. Not intelligently dealt with the Africans who come to the United States to live or become citizens will find their lives and destinies intertwined with the historic realities and struggles Black Americans face daily, and struggle to overcome to become whole. Here, in the good ol' US of A by the second generation African children will have to make choices of identity their ancestors will not necessarily agree with, or to just to survive as African Americans!

Men in Training



Nothing Was Created for its Own Sake



What is the basis of individualism? One cannot claim anything as his alone. When a child, through the love of parents, grows from an egg in the mother's womb and is born, 99.999 percent of its existence is from the mother's bone, flesh and blood, which was combined with the 0.001 percent from the father's sperm. There is no concept of "myself alone" in nature.


Nobody is born with a concept of "myself." None of us, however great, could claim that we had become great all by ourselves. Bone, flesh and blood are all inherited in the mother's womb. We should acknowledge that the important parts of our body are an extension of our mother's body. All the essential elements of our body were included in the egg and sperm. There is no exception. Therefore, there is no basis for self-centered individualism.


When we think of above, we automatically acknowledge below. Can individualism stand only with the concept of above by itself? There can be no concept of the individual by itself. Talking about right presupposes the existence of left. In the relationship between front and back, front presupposes back. The word man also cannot exist by itself. It presupposes woman. This is not just the claim of any one person, but is a universal fact.


Why was man created? Usually men say that they can live alone by themselves, so they don't care why they were created. Yet man was born for the sake of woman. Without woman, there is absolutely no need for man. Actually, nothing was created for its own sake.


Consider our five senses. Were our eyes created merely in order to look at themselves? In the same way our nose, ears, mouth and hands were all created for the sake of our partner. The force that can mobilize and focus all five senses is true love. Eyes, nose, ears, mouth and hands are the tools that were created for the sake of true love. Nothing was created for its sake alone. If people take things belonging to others, and use them as their own, aren't they thieves? Therefore, any man who arbitrarily uses his five senses and his body for himself alone is a thief, because these were created for his wife. - Adruma Victoria nov. 8, 2013

What WE SAY

African Native American girl in regalia by Ngaronoa Taki


November 5, 2011, I invited Adruma to attend a Black Woman's conference at Bowie State University. I was doing the opening ritual, and wanted him to assist with his drum. During the conference some things, as I look back, stuck out. The women elders, who spoke, and the younger women who spoke passionately from their center space collectively brought into what should have been a circle, but the rigidity of conference rooms leaves the circles to the imagination, and one's capacity for visualization and the awareness of each of the women's wombs carried into the sacred space ceremony created.

Four things came into the center of the discoveries:


  1. Play
  2. Innocence
  3. Surrender
  4. Return to childhood

Adruma Victoria shared an insight with me the day after the conference.

"The planet is one where the creatures who possess the highest potential to crown existence with joy vibrate in the realm of false ambition. The surrender to the original will heal the collective family dysfunction." 

All that could be expressed afterwards was in the attentive silence that fell between us.
