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?

BLACK EXCELLENCE of Scholarship.

Talking about issues, tweeting about them does not make one a scholar. Study begins the process of becoming one in your own right, thinking deepens the progression towards understanding the levels of our society and our place in it. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories  

Amistad
The Original Black Elite demonstrates the crushing power of Jim Crow by telling the story of Daniel Murray, a black man who, along with a cohort of outstanding contemporaries, achieved wealth and status in the post-Civil War era - until their assimilation into the white upper class was stymied by the rise of segregation.





















·       

The New Press
It's always a good time to read The New Jim Crow, Michelle Alexander's chilling analysis of how black men are disproportionately targeted and more heavily punished by the criminal justice system - and the oppressive consequences for the black community.

·       
Simon and Schuster
In a new history of the Emmett Till case, Timothy B. Tyson recounts the horrific story of a young boy who was brutally lynched after a white woman (falsely) alleged that he made lewd comments to her. The Blood of Emmett Till weaves this infamous event, and its aftermath, into a broader story of white supremacist violence and rhetoric that extends into the present day.

Broadway Books
If you somehow missed this book about a black woman's DNA being exploited for decades of research - catch up fast. This year it's becoming a movie starring Oprah.

William Morrow
The women profiled in Hidden Figures - which is already a major motion picture - made meaningful, intentional contributions to the science of American space exploration, only to be largely ignored by history.

Remember?

A truth, a universal truth Obama once said: "Change never comes without a fight."

The friction of death against life keeps life agitated and vibrant until the end of life and we die. The transformative abilities of the Vulture demonstrate on a daily basis how this works. In the end is a beginning birth told us to not remember. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [Feb. 13, 2017]

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN: rednecks, Kellyanne & Jim Crow!

1956. Segregated bus in Texas.

The Hill is a legitimate newspaper easily found here in Washington DC. It comes off the press out of the Capital daily and is one of the news sources we trust here in the District named after Christopher Columbus. On Monday, the 27th of February a photo of senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway perched on a couch in the Oval Office while President Trump met with leaders of historically black universities and colleges was published. She was wearing a short skirt, heels, her slim legs tugged under her with just enough gap between her legs to leave open speculation as she took a photo of the group of distinguished Black men. At the center of this is the president, the sole white man. If ever there was a picture of our country's recent past under Jim Crow this is it!

There was not a single Black man in that room that didn't tense. I did not need to be in that room. Wouldn't have been good for Kellyanne Conway. My wife and most Black wives would have in the name of protecting their men kicked her hind parts into the next week! Black women to this day know how white women can and have deceptively set Black men up for falls that lead to their deaths, the loss of jobs, prestige, position and good standing with the white community. All it would have took was for her to say someone looked up my dress! It is an insider knowledge white people historically pretend to be unaware of and remain silent if they suspect foul play at work.

Playing with sexual energies putting on a front of playfulness, and playing at the game of
"Glad you're here! Let's get along! Come on, guys lets' get round up and take a photo with the president!" she made a show of sitting down backwards to tuck her legs and feet under her body as her dress rose just a bit, just enough for the spread of the legs to insinuate, and release the faint smell of her womanhood into the room to tempt and tease. It was a bitter reaction one can easily assume those men held within as the White House photographer was taking pictures, and the Secret Service near by were feeling the pulse of the room. Now, these were dignified, seasoned, educated Black men with far more depth and integrity than she gave respect for and these men were all old enough to have lived through Jim Crow and those from the South will never discuss this the way I am after enduring what their wives will say in judgment and in some cases rage!

The finger of accusation points to the white Americans in this national game playing around with the facts of how the assumptions of white supremacy, of race politics, of how the collective reaction to bite and sabotage their own democracy are not being honest and that the failure to call the texture of President Affront's presidency what it really is: the rise of the Old South; is the bane of our existence! Blame also goes to Black people in general, and in particular our used to be leaders, and our so-called leaders from church to government, who are afraid in their silence to do what they are capable of, and equipped to do: tell the truth and do something about it!

As this Redneck president solidifies the positioning of Klansmen, a Leninist, hardcore self-serving business men to undo what protects the country, our industries, the land and what integrity the country has built there is a disturbing declaration of people in the press and those interviewed by the press expressing fears as a reaction to the White House escapades. Teko Alejo points this out much better than I saying, “The mainstream media vs Trump is like the CIA against the KKK.  My enemy’s enemy is not always my friend.  The sad thing is many liberals are defending the mainstream press as if they were the guardians of freedom and information, when in reality it has been responsible for social engineering, the promotion of US imperialism, disinformation, and militarism around the world as a whole.”

Under this regime we are supposed to as a nation suspend ourselves in a state of fear as if 9/11 just happened, and involve ourselves in the white backlash against Muslims and Central Americans and First Nations people? Are we First Nations people and Black American citizens supposed to get lost in the deep fears white Americans have always held, and hold them unaccountable for the irreversible position this manifestation of cultural beliefs has bound the nation into a weak global position?

Since Khrushchev in the 1950's said the United States will be defeated without a fight but from within I have wondered how it could happen. Now, in the midst of it, I know.

TO the Point.

Truth and Mark Twain

"There are nine areas of [human] activity --- the seventh area is religion. [Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex and War] The white supremacists...said we have to dominate these people in all areas of activity, including their religion, particularly their religion. Because religion is what? A strong belief backed up by action. That's all any religion is. And the white supremacist said, 'we're gonna make white supremacy the strongest religion that has ever existed." ~ Neely Fuller Jr.

TO Worship



worship of the female form.

Worship of the female form is fundamentally an attribute, a tribute and an acknowledgement of a series of truths contrary to the projections of patriarchal religions, governments and cultures. Each adherent to this body of seeing a woman by the tradition of the patriarch easily will say such worship is blasphemy. But, blasphemy does not cover respect for the mirror of men's soul, or acknowledge the depth of what it means to merge with the female essence! Without this knowledge and inclination Adam let his first wife go into punishment for not complying with a form of relationship that did not merge the two primary elements into one without submission holds on creativity, sex, but spoke toher of subjugation without a voice to challenge the notion.
