  1. It's more propaganda designed to keep Black people buried in the Church and Bible. Every generation or so they come up with a "new" recipe to keep Black folks tied up and going in circles thinking Jesus is on his way back and if we just "hold on a little bit longer" and wait and recognize our true greatness.....everything is gonna be alright. Just like that image of the sister in the video with that patient serene smile and glow on her face. Meanwhile Crack, AIDS, mass incarceration, violence, etc....has been plaguing the community for the past 40 years or so, destroying the lives of MILLIONS who haven't lived to see Jesus come back or Negroes turn "back" into Hebrews.
  2. I've never heard of this book! @TroyBut now, I do wonder about its' content. But Minister Farakhan spoke in favor of Kyrie and Ye, however, I think it would important to know what the book highlights. But I do have an opinion due to the response about the title of the book in that it seems to suggest that the book is about how the Original Hebrews have been 'ERASED' from their identity due to White Supremacy. And Whenever Black people speak about this issue, they are completely attacked because this TRUTH goes against the modern reconstruction of racial categories and White Supremacy. I also think that many Black Americans who claim that they are the Original Hebrews do so, by also speaking against European Jews [i.e., White Jews] and say that they are not real Jews, and this causes a lot of problems and gives White racist a justification for WRONGFULLY ACCUSE Blacks for being anti-Semitic, when the real problem is that Black Americans have been denied the truth byway of our American government and American educational system, and therefore, their statements against the European Jews is due to being miseducated. To say that the European Jews did not endure the holocaust is unbelievably wrong and should never be said by anybody. And, if the book suggest this, that would be wrong but again, I'm not sure what the problem is with the book, I just know that some Black people say things that stem from miseducation. Like any 'KINDS' of people that define themselves as being 'White', 'European', 'Caucasian', 'Egyptian', etc., they ALL originate from AN ORIGINAL BLACK AFRICAN ORIGIN, therefore, this would be the same when it comes to 'European Jews' as well. Their origins are from Black African Hebrew Israelite origins, and so, if they say they are Jews, there shouldn't be a problem with that in regards to ancestral origins. But a lot of contention about European Jews' identity actually stems from a factual and historical event again, due to the modern reconstruction of racial categories, and European 'White Jews were given specific privileges during an intense movement to genocide the Original 'Black' African Jews and Hebrew Israelites.
  3. Maybe more evocative for some Maybe you still have questions or you're not bored yet
  4. @DelanoThis subject is quite provocative. Language is a tool that has always intrigued me. it is what defines and condenses life, serving as a vehicle for driving it. It also facilitates the preservation of knowledge and enables communication between individuals although it does not necessarily put them on the same page. Then, there's how it is possible to weaponize language, and how certain words and phrases are loaded with energy that can trigger an effect on people. Consider the word nigger and how much power it exerts over black people when uttered by a white person. Use of the word love is also packed with potential, able to transform or even heal when declared or pledged. It makes sense that extraordinary souls could and did convert and preserve their magic in the archives of a script that reveals secrets. Language is the glue that bonds humanity together. It is divine. I have experimented with chanting which is inarticulate language, - sounds that simply flow and vibrate and, when paired with intense visualization, can even make images materialize. Music is also a form of language; it speaks to your emotions. I was also very interested in the reference to mirror magic. I have experimented with it, simply standing in front of a full length mirror and holding a hand mirror up to it. Looking at the reflection of myself being reflected in the other mirror where I saw infinite images of myself going on and on. Eerie. What was on in my mind during these sessions may have also been projected into eternity. These are things that just came to me to do during the course of living my life. I sorta believe that my interest in the occult may have something to do with my surviving much longer than i should have considering how little attention I have given to preserving my health and safety. I think this along with some of the things I practiced with pyramids and crystals have also contributed to my longevity. So here I am. i have no idea why i am still walking around, having changed very little over the past 50 years. But i grow more weary by the day. And I am adrift in the universe. You are my Oracle.
  5. IMO, electing Rep. Karen Bass to be Mayor of Los Angeles will not adversely affect AfroAmericans living there. We should hope that a Mayor Bass could implement policies to help and inspire disenfranchised AfroAmerican Los Angelinos to do better for themselves.😎
  6. 🤣 Oh D*mn, this comment caught me off guard. I laughed to the point, I caught a cramp. @Cynique It's too late to change your style now...
  7. Absolutely not.😁 Just letting you know we totally appreciate everything you deliver from your chair at the table.🤗😎
  8. @harry brown informed us about this book five years ago! I only discovered this post looking for our more recent conversation about Hebrew to Negros. I had completely forgotten about this book and the film. Kyrie Irving in his tweet (image below) has prompted the media to heap a great deal of attention on the film which is a top streaming film on Amazon and the book. Kyrie is blamed and punished for simply tweeting a link to Amazon who is profiting from selling and streaming the film. Kyrie is called "antisemitic" for sharing a link, but what about Amazon for making now a lot more money for selling it. Kyrie is blamed for promoting the film, but the media is really responsible for bringing the book to the attention of the general public -- most of whom are not on twitter. Seriously who is on Twitter reading Kyrie Irving's every post. yeah I know he has 4.6M followers, but those numbers don't truly reflect the number of human beings who read the tweet about the film. The tweet has been removed, but the media continues to share it which is how I found it. As I said before beating up on Kyrie or any man who share a link to Amazon is unfor and just plain stupid. The first book will be an AALBC bestseller when I publish my next list. Yesterday someone asked about all four volumes. I did not know there were 4 volumes! But I have added them to the site. @Chevdove and @Pioneer1 this material seems to be related to the stuff you all talk about. I had no interest in the film or book, which why I did not react to Harry's post back in 2017. Clearly, there is interest in the subject matter, but if you think there is something I (we) should know please share.
  9. In an Astrology treatise at the end it said Astrology is not for everyone. A person should be of good moral character. Both Mayans and the Hindus revered Astrology. Astrology had both spiritual and every day application. Can you imagine conducting life without a time piece or a watch. There's more information about John Dee than Edward Kelly. John Dee was an astronomer, Astrology, adviser to Queen Elizabeth, a map maker, polymath, alchemist and possibly spy. Edward Kelly was able to scry which is like crystal gazing. I don't know occultist revere John Dee. The Enochian Language is one of the most powerful esoteric techniques. Which involves talking with the highest of Angels. It was thought that the language that Adam spoke was magical. Naming the animals also gave you dominion over them. So if you name a building or a person then clearly you have power or influence over the nomination. Also naming of a child is a big deal. The name has to fit. There may be exceptions but I feel in general that to be the case. I had recently read the John Dee had an obsidian mirror. That was of Aztec origins. https://www.archaeology.org/issues/459-2203/digs/10338-digs-england-obsidian-mirror The Aztecs used obsidian mirrors of this sort to divine the future The fact that it already had Aztec associations of divination and being able to see what’s not immediately apparent was seized on by John Dee and added value to the object from his point of view.”
  10. Black folks need to establish OUR OWN social media platforms instead of occupying spaces in White owned establishments hoping for fair and equal treatment. You'd think we'd learn better by now. I thought Kanye was supposed to be buying Parler. I wonder how that's going.
