WHEN WE AWAKEN 3

"Some things are just average, other things are spellbinding!"


TO MY Nephew

"Whatever you do as a practice developing body, mind or spirit and however you develop emotional maturity it comes back to assist you at the oddest times; in particular when you have been given life for a long time. In a culture, childishly upset over aging, and obsessed with the illusion of staying young old age trips you up. There are peculiar benefits to a life well lived. The practices of life to stay fit in the four realms are best teaching us how we live.

It is fascinating this way of being. "- Gregory E. Woods, (Dawn Wolf), Keeper of Stories WHITE AS A RIGHT! I was recently watching a video clip of a British man, with images flashing of what his people were doing to people who looked like me of the darker hue, in recent times past in other countries. Black African countries they have conquered and subjugated. The combination was meant to disturb the viewer and his closer was meant to be a kumbaya moment.

The horror he described with emphasis on the images in the film is grim, but a white man with a British accent telling this burns within me. It stirs a rage, a collective one constantly felt in silence by our ancestors and those of us whose people suffered at their hands. It is the way he sits with authority and a measure of disgust and the simple minded appeal to the viewer about how we are one that burns into the soul of non-whites! Historically, whites skip all the steps to heal with a not so subtle a suggestion that we hold hands and let bygones be bygones.

It always comes out this way and it always leaves the rest of us happily lapping it up so we can avoid the long process needed to mend at the deep levels, or it burns with rage on the inside because we know that beast is never chained up and killed. He is always there. It is part of the staying power of Donald Trump! ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/24/18

A History of Violence.

3 White women who pull at the imaginations of a lot of Black men, 

Marilyn Monroe, Sandra Bullock and another. . . 

"What is tragic is the freedom claimed is vulnerable to conservative politics seeped in the tradition of thought from the history of Europe! It is a mistake not to know this history, or these historical connections interlocked in our present state of affairs. It is not about red or blue states, or conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats; it is from the annals of European histories we need to focus upon for insights and revelations from the 'why?' question not studied. Anything else is weak, structurally undermining the very tenor, and strength of what makes this Democracy work as well as it has despite its gross contradictions!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [11/27/18]

AMERICA, the Great Comedic Draw

Famine looks like this...

White dress worn by Mary Jean on New Years day 2016. 

This was an important day in American history.

Nobody is up this time of day at the beginning of another year. We were asleep other years. Let us hope this has changed. Maybe this will be the "Year of the Dawning of Awareness"!!! 

OK. That was funny. Americans love the slumber of their awareness, and enjoy a non-relationship with intellectual prowess, and have some kind of pride in not being at a high level in their thinking about global responsibility. Their actions demonstrating the juvenile discontent they believe makes them forceful is associated, in their minds, with national pride. It is the strangest thing, but it is very white American!

Contradictions over Time.

Kim Kardashian West is worth $175 million dollars in 2018. What she is really worth is in the realm of perception, high intelligence, and a knack for fitting into a hard world for women without the compromises ordinary women make to survive. It is a far cry, this reality for her, from the days of Europe's dark age, and from the Armenian massacre over a hundred years ago! For those two people is their reconciliation between the two cultures of her bloodlines, and marriage to a Black American man? This is a blood question only she can answer; we can only speculate, or judge her on this note.

What is it for us and the ancestry of our peoples we need to recognize and work with, and work through? Kim Kardashian West married an eccentric and gifted man whom she seems to understand and definitely loves. "How do we love?" is the more important question, and perhaps the best place to start a study of a person. But, that is not how people begin their assessments of each other, nor is it a place immaturity leaves a person!

Immaturity is a major factor in American culture. It is the financial support of reality stars, and it is foundational to President Trump's appeal, and is part of the spell he holds over his followers. For Mrs. West this works one way in the entertainment world; for the nation as a whole this fixation with immaturity is a facet of the political  and moral manipulation of America's sub-conscience. As a force, immaturity goes about its business with little fear of being corrected. It is a drug of the sort that does not hesitate to implode because it is forever trusting in its revival. Immaturity leads public perception directing inaction so skillfully millions of Americans have lost the reason it takes to be a major force in the complex world of global politics. These citizens rely on the cruelness of people like Trump who cannot fathom how and why the pieces that hold nations together needs a high level of education in many disciplines and deep respect for Life, in all its forms!

White people are at the center of this trauma in America. This is their creation we are conditioned to, their dichotomy entangled in our ancestral lines, and we of the darker hue are in this with a deeper responsibility. We are the carriers of what needs to be done to undo this mess. Our spiritual responsibilities have depth in the intuition of what eludes us: the truth, and those truths bath in the bloodletting of this nation's past and present.

WOMEN in TERROR.

Joséphine Marcus Earp was the

common-law wife of Wyatt Earp.

IN the terror of being a woman in the Western world is the fact of white women's fear of white men prone to kill them at the core of the crisis. In the game to stay invisible, to a degree, and available for opportunities is the ever risk of forever being a sex object. It would be different in a society balanced by elements that coincide with respect and depth to the understanding of womanhood.

The simplest way of telling this story is to tell the truth. What flies into the proverbial fan is fear of the truth and ignorance of the core of the collective history behind this stage of the women's movement! Women will always be sex objects and just as well because men will always want to have sex with women, and women will always want men for sex! The attraction is natural. The danger in modern life in a variety of countries are the conflicts of belief and religion in conflict with the feeling of inadequacy men in these cultures have inside of them.

In the cultures, where the belief in the assumption of men's superiority over women, confuses the inadequate feeling undeveloped men nurse in the presence of women, hide the deep contradictions that became part of organized religions. These religions placed laws into the daily lives of its adherents that justified wrongs against women and worse developed a creed. Rape is justified by scripture, bad behavior towards women is justified in the story of Eve in the Abrahamic texts and practiced in lieu of disciplined training of the mind, the spirit and the emotions of men, who find a way out of expanding their existence into true power, deep knowledge and the awareness from controlling one's spirit!

Men are supposed to ground themselves with a series of questions beginning with innocence. "Who are the innocent, and who will protect the innocent?" Innocence is where all of us begin our living. How men develop contempt for women from a patriarchal religion is a mysterious deception from the evil place of not being truthful, and from not being themselves, in the deep context of masculinity! What isn't innocent in the innocuous cat call towards women embedded in the contradictions we learn living in the States? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (5/01/18)

Speaking to our Unborn.

One of the puzzling things about white Americans I have noticed and puzzled over is this: Excellence in Black Americans was often a surprise, and deeply resented! In translation of how they feel about and how they react to Blacks excelling where they (whites) have believed no Colored could excel is brutality. President Barack Obama is experiencing the backlash of committing to excellence my parents predicted would happen to any one of us. In the short months after his presidency white backlash turns on itself and they begin to undo the quality of their lives to make a point. As millions of whites rejoice in Trump ravaging the legacy of Mr. Obama there is a lessening of the power of American dominance in the world-at-large. I don't need to point out any one thing. It just sits there as sad evidence.

9/11, Bullshit and Denial.

I have the talent and the eye of a good photographer, but when I was coming up as a child it was impolite to take pictures traveling and living in various countries. Americans were intrusive. After the Korean war and the other wars waged by the mid-20th century, people were weary of American intrusion passing itself as diplomacy. So, I learned to interpret the visual with sound and words over the length of my decades.  In short, I studied. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (9/10/18) 

Gangsta chicks like this are a version of masculinity that submits to crude male belief in the dominance of the dick over pussy.

Chola in her 'Charley Brown'!

Vatos Locos.

Organized gangs are more representative of the soul of America. How are they ignored on September 11, 2018? Easily. As long as we cling to the myth of America we don't see the country as it is to others victimized by our ways of life! What am I thinking of making such a statement?

First of all, I am not caught up in the whining and impish patriotism fluttering about 17 years after those men crashed planes into buildings in New York city, Pennsylvania and D.C., where I was during the attack. Second, I was keenly aware of what these attacks meant beyond the terror of the moment. I saw the opening in a paradigm to change the world, and our worldview to usher in peace on that day within a few hours. There were others, but as the weeks became months it was apparent the chance for peace wasn't going to occur. War-like people have to engage their soul with killing.

It is impossible for white Americans, in particular, to move beyond the immature impulse to remain within the initial stage of shock and disbelief. Seventeen years later, and white Americans still behave in the emotional state immediately after a violent attack. Third thing that stands out is remembering how intently the coverage about the loss of white lives dominated coverage of the event for a long time, and the lack of historical reference to give a proper perspective to the event. To this day, the world silently breaths in contempt for the melodrama of September 11 remembrance events.

I know I do.

How does the chief among predatory forces illicit pity from other countries whose citizens still smart after what we have done to them?

White Woman in Powerlessness.

We all start our day in the morning. The question Life asks of us is "How?"

"It is the morning time. Clarity. It comes in the morning arising with the morning clarity, a sense of a presence in the air and the possibility of a good day. The question to ask is: "What will I do with this chance?"- Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2/9/16

Ivanka Trump attends function at Trump International Hotel in Washington DC that took over the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave. between the White House and the Capital! 

Ivanka Trump attending function at Trump International Hotel in Washington DC that took over the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Ave. between the White House and the Capital, glows in a state of unawareness DC residents recognize and don't respect! She is unaware of what the Old Post Office was to Black DC residents. The Pavilion, as it was named when it became a commercial hub of the city, was a focus for social life. Before that, when it was abandoned, the homeless lived there, and transients found solace there. Prior to that DC residents from the top to the bottom of society and people from Virginia and Maryland gathered here for all kinds of reasons. 

Commerce is not for the president's gain, is not to be center of a presidency. But, in this administration Trump is using his office to make money that his devotees won't take into account as a lack of integrity, but as a clever business practice. Pouring U.S. tax dollars into his pockets when he goes to his resorts on official business is defended by his fan base. It is revelatory what we allow. As a nation, our credibility weakens daily under this administration, but the dumbass notions of white supremacy are allowed to undercut the status we have taken, and earned collectively for a simple and obvious reason. 

It is pointless to point this out to his base. Let them live with the inevitable outcome some decades from now, some of us say in disgust. But, being that dismissive is ignorant. Anything done by another affects us all. Citizens have to be conscious and mature enough to care at this level and white Americans have to enlarge their view of their priorities to understand the undercutting effect of their Doctrine of Discovery.

Evidence of the Fool!

I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.



I have not read the New York Times' opinion editorial released the other day anonymously in the literary form of a diatribe against Donald Trump. The excerpts on the news are all I've read. Someone, in this administration, has moral fiber and the texture of responsibility floods his or her being with integrity. At the core of this piece consider the weight of this small quote:

"...we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic. That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump's more misguided impulses until he is out of office. The root of the problem is the president's amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making."

White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders believes and said, "This coward should do the right thing and resign." The unnamed official who wrote this editorial said others at his/her level, who are like-minded, chose to stay on the job to save the country from President Trump believing the President's leadership style is erratic, and his "...leadership style is petty and ineffective."

In response to the assertions in the opinion piece, Republican senator, Bob Corder, stood in front of reporters today and said with clear eyes and clarity; "It wasn't new news to me. It wasn't new news to anybody who served in the Senate." Bob Woodward's book, "FEAR" paints Trump "as ignorant and impulsive and of aides who struggle to reign him in".

With over 3,000 recorded lies, to date, coming out of the president's mouth the question to precede any response is: "Is he lying?"

We are long past a tolerable point. There is no parent or spouse who would suffer three thousand lies from a child, or a relative and maintain the possibility the child is telling the truth! Such a low standard in a marriage does not survive, if such a one exists! There is something amiss in the purpose of this presidency, and something hides within the shadows of the allegiance for this man, who has built a reputation over the decades in business based upon his name, and not dependent upon integrity, but his ability to bring value to the market place.

That's his value. His substance is not based upon moral integrity. His presence in high office is telling a profound story millions refuse to acknowledge because of things they want that are consistent with their vision in life for and from this country. All of this is buried in the long history of the psychopath of the European characters that left that land that likes to call itself a continent without fulfilling the qualifications for such a distinction!

A fundamental question to ask in the shadow of these facts is: "Is there an agreement to undermine the very strength of a nation's core to maintain a divisive substance that will temporarily validate a belief system itself not beneficial to all citizens?"

P.S.

There is a lot of buzzing around in the White House. People, up to the Vice President, are denying they wrote this opinion piece. There is an opinion poll on the television screen, right now, pointing out that 64% of the people, at least, in the Washington DC area think this is article is treasonous, and 37% believe it is patriotic! It will change each minute, but understanding the pulse of this area the outcome will be stirring because the two words: treason and patriotic mean one thing to white Americans and something different to Native Americans and Black Americans, who are not considered in the estimation of this White House.

Diamonds Are Rough

Diamond Jackson is a whore; in polite society she is an adult actress. She is fine; as good looking as a man would want a woman to be but she embodies histories we like to ignore, or pretend didn't happen. Her perceptions mirror the inconsistencies of men's theology. This woman likes to be filmed and photographed copulating with white men in submissive and dominate roles. As an outside historian observing this let it be pointed out: she raises awareness about the conditioning of thought and practice that influences the way men and the law looks at, and judges women victims of rape and molestation. 

Black women, like Diamond Jackson, school white men's imaginations about who they are, and what they truly think about Black women in their contempt... There is a history to this assertion Americans need to uncover!

Sadly, there are millions of Americans ignorant of the basis of the social constructs they take for granted, and assume have always been in place for the right reasons. Women have the right to know what preceded today to better understand the forces that dictate life every two minutes, in the States, when a woman gets raped. If the MeToo Movement is going to acquire true power it needs relationship with the past realities, and principles that set this stage of such deep disregard for women and it needs a sacred base. Understandably, fear keeps women focused on outrage. With no substance and a lot of emotion this aspect of the women's movement moves to sink in quick sand without balance to a righteous cause. But, why balance, and what needs to be balanced? 

The obvious questions arise from knowing what has passed on before today, why and how. (Sankofa) There is another dangerous question we cannot afford, in the long run, to ignore; a deeply disturbing question not to be answered by men. There is a link between whores and professional women too terrible to think about, but it is there. You discern and ask the question from these histories.

Teaching world history revolves around women.

bold Black woman in yellow midi dress. 

Bold in the firmament of one's belief is best displayed in a form of beauty assessable to the easy part of being human. Capturing it, as a photographer, a musician, a poet, a healer, is an art form developed within the musician, the photographer, the poet, the healer and the person learning to become whole! Appreciation is a study of gratitude... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/10/18 

Cat Divine by Michael Enoches for and by Boudoir & Intimates by ME. (2017)

There is a gap here between two states of being a woman many are unable to navigate. Because the value of belief in the sacred is vague women can remain in the shadows of the art form of being feminine in essence. With the compromise made with homosexuality women, in the West, learned to equate freedom of expression with the right for men to intrude upon their distinct place in the balances of Life; not as life givers, but pretenders in a sacred role. Understanding of this has been forced to the fringes of modern life. Its exclusion feeds the disillusionment of the roles that engineered protection and balances to engage in the dance of existence as a whole, and guides the confusing violence from men towards women!

Because 'rights' are more important than truth all of these things make victims of this onslaught in American culture; many compromises have been made in the name of 'It is my right!' and unaware children waddle and wade in this confusion pretending to be the right way to be.

Contradictions over time, within belief sytems...

Asian couple. rarely photographed like this.

Americans prefer the stereotypes... 

[Many] Asian woman's provocative way of being unstable in the stability of mutual support from a googling male population, and assertions of feminism in their own countries is a cultural challenge read by American culture with not much accuracy. Under the pleasure of assuming superiority many Americans think they understand Asian cultures. With this mistaken belief system the danger of negotiating with any Asian nation, from a presidency like Trump's, is a disaster waiting to express chaos. In the criminal mind weaknesses Trump displays with aplomb are played with by manipulative killers, because white men like Trump think there are no things unattainable to them. This makes them feel they are capable of outmaneuvering their tactics. It is an easy game when the mouse believes he can outwit the cat in the open! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6/12/18

Wicked Women
Feb. 2017



Ernie Reed (whom I don't know) reported: "If you treatem like shit they love you forever. Works both ways, i left an angel for no good reason . But then i met the devil now i know what that phrase actually means , i would have stayed forever if the angel would have put her cigarette out on my arm. Also i would have never left after 30 years .she needs lessons on how to treat a guy!" 


His was a strong way of learning himself by revealing contradictions people are comfortable believing that this practice is normal and workable. It isn't until the death of aspects of themselves that are weighing their souls down, some look up and see they are strangling themselves being consistent in their inconsistencies.

And then the ball dropped. I couldn't believe it. His wife, Nancy Gonzaga Reed chimed in!

ok husband. we have been together for 30 years. u tell the world that I don't know how to treat a man. if u were a real man you wouldn't have said something so cruel about me. I gave you my love, respect, trust, compassion and forgiveness all these years. no , I will not do some of the horrible things u asked me to do. no husband would have asked their wives to do what u asked me to do. Ever. I will not become a whore for you. those girls in pornos don't enjoy the things they get paid to do. i am a lady and i have respect for myself.

any man would be happy to be treated the way i have treated you.
So yes husband. I did treat u like a real man. 

maybe you should look at the woman you threw in the trash . and say ty.
no other woman would have stayed with u as long as I did. my forgiveness is the only thing that kept our marriage together.

I am a real woman. so either step up to the plate and treat me the way i deserve, or and let me know you don't have what it takes to be a real man. believe me. there are other men that want nothing more than to have a woman like me beside them. So quit humiliating me on line and be a fucking man!!
