Awaiting the Sleeping Giant

Black Sleeping Giant

I have to admit that I’m worn down in the struggle to aid my people this early in 2015, as the tools of distraction effectively work to drain our strength and resolve. I know it is ego-based drivel in some sense, but it is rooted in the true, heart-felt concern for our progression. Knowledge, I believe, is the final frontier for us. It is time for a paradigm shift Brothers and Sisters.

You see the matter is I know who you are. I have studied our history from just about every perspective, including that of the people we call ‘enemies’ of our existence. What I have learned is that we are nothing short of greatness; a sleeping giant and force to be reckoned with. This culture that we are assimilating to in the name of individualism among the other isms, and continued reverence for a white savior foreign and external to us, keeps some of us at an infinitesimal distance from mental and physical liberation. We are too concerned with what other groups are up to, and not focused enough on what the infinite possibilities are for us.

The main impediment to our progression from my perspective is that many do not realize their internalization of the facade that is the construct of racism. Racism is an institution; that is to say a custom, practice, or law that exists not physically but is mentally upheld by a collective mindset and actions. The economy and currency are examples of these concepts that only exist because we believe and act as though they do. Human classification began in the 17th century in Western science disciplines using observable physical traits. In the 19th century, race became the taxonomy by which to classify populations, using skin color. In modern science, the consensus is that there is no biological definition of race, based on the fact that there is one matrilineal genetic lineage from which the current human population originates. The groups that have obtained social dominance, are biologically recessive. So you see, the construct of racism is purely SOCIAL, and because we do not understand the historical and biological origins, we inadvertently aid in its maintenance and power over us. It is a tool that operates indefinitely as long as it is believed by its adherents. It is the root of our current distraction, and limits us in collectively achieving and living out greatness. Every time we expend energy in the form of anger, fear, or sadness when the false construct is conveyed to us in the media, we give away power required to build ourselves up. These socially dominant groups understand this power exchange well, which is how they know it is a convenient control mechanism. We however, still do not understand that we were made to fear the power of the race institution to the point that we now live out their fear and control subconsciously; we focus on what they believe we are not, as opposed to focusing and strengthening what we have always been-and that is Great.

Understanding what is in your DNA coding in the order of human existence reveals many things. It should help you to understand why we are feared and hated. Our presence as a group is a threat to the existence of biologically recessive groups who know that there is no differentiation of race. So if the “black” genotype is dominant, the recessive is subject to a reuptake over the next few generations. I’m not advocating a superiority/inferiority dichotomy here; I am simply pointing out that we represent dominant global presence now and in the future, and we must embrace it. Thus, it should make sense then why we would be targets of population control and reduction. It would make sense why various traditions of indigenous black culture have influenced every civilization in history. It would make sense why groups with social dominance have a need to perpetuate an atmosphere of black hate and fear. Hate is actually the learned construct, the root of their behavior is the emotion of fear of extinction.

The media, global governments, religious institutions, and other social organizations have no obligation to assist our progression through knowledge of self. Please stop expecting these entities to honor or value your existence. These expectations only serve to wear away at your psychological health and self-esteem, through the false hope that this fear has an endpoint. It does not. Like any living thing, these groups will seek to survive at all costs, so their actions need to be understood. The winning act for us is to understand the why and how of their actions, in order to keep them at bay whilst we work to thrive. Fear on their part, and their behavior over the centuries makes complete sense in the context that our survival factor has already been established by our DNA. Biologically and theoretically the black man and woman should always exist, so what is to fear?

I understand the current frustration of the black experience in America and abroad. But I know that more importantly, the knowledge of our ancestry, our biology, and our spiritual heritage on the earth trumps any negative news story, any sacrificial killing of our people, and any vitriol spewed from the mouths of members of other groups. When you know who you are and your value, you stop being alarmed at the behaviors of those living in the lowest vibrations of fear; you then begin to focus on how to elevate your vibration of love of self and others, which is the highest form of power in this human experience.

Let our ‘enemies’ maintain the illusions and fears that ultimately enslave them. The law of reciprocity reveals that their own weaponry leads to their own demise. Yes we should stay aware and conscious of what they are doing to an extent, but when we feed into their fear of us, we degrade our own capacity to achieve our full potential. To counter this power exchange, study everything that you can get your hands on to increase your knowledge base about our history and being. Knowledge of who you are absolves offense at actions by those living in fear. The result is strength of character that no being or group on earth can penetrate through any means. Imagine the collective force of that strength when we individually attain it. This is what they fear. Let’s not leave them wondering if, but when we are empowered to use it.
