Beloved, there are many reasons as to why you are the way you are and what you are at present. Personally, to me it sounds like some past life residuals carried over into the present life. Many times when we incarnate into a new life and have switched up vessels (female gender to male gender) we may still long to be in our past life vessel in which we are familiar with. If our last 3-7 lifetimes have been experienced in a female space suit, then naturally we become comfortable in that suit (as that specific gender) but when present life lessons require us to take on the space suit of the opposite sex and for the first time after a line of successions of past lives as the opposite sex, internally we may yearn for the expression of the past life gender and this yearning may be very strong.

It appears you are experiencing a transitional time of your soul, going from a female (in recent past lives) to a male in the present lifetime. It usually takes two incarnations to complete this process. This is why even though you incarnated as a male (via choice) this time around (but evidently forgot, as density of the flesh body or space suit makes us forget) but still felt like a female on the inside, and this feeling must have been so strong that you opted via free will in this present life to have your external body to reflect this inner female or feminine feeling. You wanted your external nature to reflect your inner nature. That's all. Changing your sexual gender appears to be an attempt to give your inner feeling expression, as the female body is the ultimate and essential channel for full feminine or yin expression.

Each one of us is both male and female, knowledge and intuition, yin and yang and we choose to be one sex or the other in order to help us balance the masculine and feminine, the strength and sensitivity, within us. We are all bisexual beings in this respect. When we develop both masculine and feminine aspects of ourselves (learning our soul lessons), we become comfortable with whatever body we may happen to have chosen, and we begin to unite the polarities within us as one powerful energy.

Now, in regards to Christianity, you're dealing with a worldly and man-made religion (Jesus NEVER said his religion was Christianity nor did Jesus ever claim a religion) and therefore are dealing with man-made dogma and doctrine for purposes of control of people via belief system, thought process, emotions and thus actions, and if your actions, beliefs, and thoughts don't line up with that of the Church, then of course you will be looked upon as sinful, heretical, lost, in need of salvation and all these other terms (control mechanisms) established and created to make people feel guilty for being independent and free in belief, thought, emotion, and action. I wouldn't expect to find much help or assistance in the Church because your issue is of a deeper level along the lines of the occult and metaphysics and 99% of churches shun these areas as satanic and diabolical and clearly due to ignorance. Remember, ESOTERICISM is for the few, the Elite (the Rulers of society) and those who deal with life on the inner realms, i.e. the Essenes, Gnostics, etc. and EXOTERICISM is for the many, the masses (sheep, herd) and the masses always need to be controlled, led, and governed as the masses deal with life on an outer level.

Worldly religion has been successful in fostering belief that our beliefs, thoughts, and actions when contrary to established religious authority, makes us separate from God or even anti-God which is pure nonsense. As shown in the dynamic movie "Conversations With God", no matter where we are in life, up or down, rich or poor, homeless or sheltered, God is ALWAYS with us. Remember, God does not pass judgment on us. God is not a respecter of persons. God gave us all free will so why would God give us free will and then turn around and specifically tell us what to do and what not to do? God gave us all consciousness, intuition, and common sense and all we have to do is use these for our own purposes - to make our choices and decisions for which our actions will based upon and that's that! For each and every last one of us, our liberty ends where the next person's liberty begins.

Well, I eventually redirected my focus and got ready for the workday. I made it to work and began my daily duties. I remember being in the copy room and it was still morning time and my co-worker and dear friend Charlottle came into the room to make copies. She must have been in there for about 5 minutes before she looked up at me and said, "Oh, did you hear - Marcy killed herself." "She hung herself!" I was devastated at the news.

Marcy was our co-worker and it was Marcy who really stimulated me to really get deep into mythology. We always had deep conversations. Back then, I didn't really have Black friends, especially Black female friends, whom I could talk to about all that I was studying and learning back then (as they were Christian or Muslim by faith and considered the subjects I was learning as taboo), things along an occult and paranormal line, so I would have deep and stimulating conversations with my mostly white female friends (most of whom were co-workers, but very open-minded individuals) which really kept me balanced back then providing me with female companionship along the lines of intellectual and open-minded conversation which was very important to me.

After Charlotte had told me of Marcy's death, I had chills all over my body and knew instantly why I had had that dream of the little white girl killing herself. It was my proverbial "from time to time" omen letting me know my friend committed suicide.

All my life I have had the ability to see certain events happen in my dreams that would really happen in the 3D state within a 24-hour period of the actual dream, but the dreams were always symbolic and had to be decoded (i.e. little white girl representing Marcy). I got pretty good in decoding the dreams and thus would call certain friends in the morning and tell them my dream and that a particular event was going to happen. My friends really began to take me serious as a spiritually gifted and inclined person when things started to manifest after I had given advance notice of certain events.

While my visitations and sightings are in the lower astral dream state, yours take place in the 3D realm which really denote the power of your psychic faculties, like the little boy in the Bruce Willis movie, "The Sixth Sense."

Sometimes, the soul of a person can visit us (in 3D realm or 4D/dream/astral realm) to give us news of an occurrence with it, including transitioning (death). This happens with plenty of people whereby the soul of a loved one that just transitioned or right before the soul transitioned from the physical body, comes to visit to say goodbye. This happened with my father back in 1994. Around 12 a.m. or midnight on October 25, I felt a presence in my room (I was not dreaming or in another realm but here in 3D realm). I intuitively knew it was my father whose physical body was in Daniel Freeman Hospital in Inglewood, California suffering from cancer. My eyes got watery and a tear fell from my eyes. I intuitively knew my father was checking out and came to tell me so, to tell me bye. Later on that evening after leaving work I got a call from my cousin Dennis and he said, "I'm sorry to hear about your father." I was like, "What do you mean?" Dennis said, "He died!" "What, you didn't know?" I just fell silent for a few seconds and was like "Wow!" "That was pops for sure that I felt in my room early in the day (morning)."

In other cases, what appear to be little children could be angels or other astral plane entities appearing to us as children to serve as friendly messengers of death, and they come to us as children due to the energy children give off. And yes, they may even be the souls of actual little children who crossed over.

The astral plane allows us to be connected to so many souls that we may not be or could never be connected with in 3D state existence but because we may hold these individuals (who may be worldly and international icons and celebrities) dear to us, they feel us and thus in the astral plane are connected to us and therefore come to visit us as if we knew them on the 3D level of existence. The flesh body and material world may cut us off from other human beings, but the spiritual realm connects us all and so on a non-fleshly level we are all connected (we are still all connected while in flesh but just don't realize it because we don't perceive ourselves as spiritual beings), it's just more apparent on the material-less planes of existence.

Events, such as death, can actually be tapped in to (while we're in either 3D or 4D realm). Remember, on other planes, frequency is accelerated. Everything moves slow, frequency-wise, on planet Earth. So when we tap into different realms, planes, and existences (outside of 3D realm though we may be on 3D realm at the time), things are sped up on these different planes and realms compared to on Earth (3D realm) and therefore we get to look back on things on Earth (in present state) even though on Earth they have not appeared or happened yet. Sometimes we call this occurrence an omen or a premonition. But the occurrence is due to acceleration of frequency or 'time.' Many people are gifted in this regard and therefore can see into the future due to tapping in to different realms (frequencies), almost at will or simply because they are very sensitive (or open) in this regard.

I can assure you that souls or anything else that visit you in the dream world or 3D realm are not coming to you for you to pray for them. Prayer only exists and works on this realm with people in earth suits (bodies). Prayer was created on this realm. In fact, we only pray here on Earth due to our collective weakened state and because we are dis-empowered. Asking other people to pray for us shows us how dis-empowered we are. You don't need prayers or anyone else to pray for you when you understand the power of the mind. If folks understood and worked mental science and magic, prayer would become obsolete.

All prayer is predicated upon 'desire' (wanting something) and that's why the biblical Jesus character said "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24

True communion with God is absence of the mind and thus meditation. Not prayer.

Prayer is a vehicle for desire (the thing desired), for purposes of manifestation. However, the man or woman who understands the power and science of mind (thought) works the same magic (as the Mark 11:24 prayer) via constant or repetitious thought predicated upon understanding the Law of Attraction, the Law of Deliberate Creation, The Law (or Art) of Allowing, and the Law of Action (being "you" and doing "you"). Prayer is not just in the religious mode. Constant and directed thought is the equivalent of a prayer.

No other entities pray, with the exception of the soul that just crossed over from the earth plane and who still identifies with earthly existence. These other entities don't have to pray. They recognize their powers. However, they may tell us here on earth to pray as a form of invocation (invoking their help or assistance). Invocation is a term used in magic but we have been successfully taught (brainwashed) against magic (use of magic in this society) so since we are familiar and comfortable with prayer, we are allowed by them (entities, angels, spirit guides) to use prayer as a means and form of invocation.

We pray on Earth because of our weakened and powerless and enslaved state. Trust me, the people who run the world (planet) do not pray, not in the religious sense, though they may invoke certain entities and energy. They (Rulers) work certain laws, universal laws and get their results, and far, far, far quicker than any religious-programmed praying man or woman. In fact, the people who run the world control the praying man and woman. Many times religious-programmed praying people are praying about things that the Rulers of the world have caused or created. This is very, very true!

People's soul can visit you in different realms to convey things (information, feelings) to you and this happens all the time. Sexual dreams happen all the time because it is a way for a soul to take the easy route to express feeling for another soul but in a safe fashion or fashion whereby the experience can happen or occur without the 3D realm consequences (i.e. embarrassment, pregnancy, commitment, heartache, breakup, etc).

Some souls are trapped between worlds and will manifest to certain people via portals because they feel comfortable in the presence of these people. And because they can see between worlds, they can warn us of what has occurred in the future (acceleration of time) and thus what we will soon experience.

The foot of the bed, just like corners in a room, is a portal for spirits or entities (ghosts). This is why usually people, especially children, see spirits (etheric bodies) at the foot of their bed or in the corner of a room. Many times these spirits or entities are friendly and benevolent messengers of death (transition). When a certain death may affect you, they appear to give you advance notice so that you can make preparation, which of course is dependent upon you deciphering the dream message which is why we all must get stronger in dream interpretation (dream symbolism).

If your seeing spirits only occur when a person is murdered, this may be a programmed software you operate on and that serve you. The spirits are thus associated with murder and when someone is murdered or will be murdered, they come 9appear) and give you advance notice of it. Beloved, it very well may be that Michael Jackson was murdered. After all, he died under very strange circumstances. Murder cannot be ruled out. Not at this time!

You are in tune, Beloved. To get stronger, pay more attention to the details of your dreams and all visitors from different realms - the spirits, entities, etc. Learn to decode and decipher the symbols of your dreams. Delve into dream interpretation. There are many good books on the subject of dream symbolism and interpretation on the market. You will find them in the Occult, Metaphysical, New Age, Paranormal, Divination, Magical Studies or Speculation section of most bookstores. Don't be afraid of these subjects. People who are afraid of them are ignorant of them due to religious programming or just plain outright ignorance. People who control their own lives and destiny use these subjects as their tools (for development of 6th and 7th chakra faculties) whereas people who don't control their lives and destinies because they depend upon external forces and factors shun these subjects and tools and rely on their social and religious programming and remain enslaved and keep the world of man turning, running back and forth to religious institutions giving of their time, energy, and money; seeking various forms of counseling for human habits and actions they can't control (food/eating, sex, anger, etc.) and also giving of their time, energy, and money; visiting psychics and also giving of their time, energy, and money; and so many other things when all the answers they are truly seeking lies within - within self (the Kingdom of god is within).

Also, look into crystals and learn about chakra balancing. Learn about stones/crystals that help with improving and strengthening dream recall. The more you work with divination and occult sciences, tools, and practices, the stronger you will become in this faculty (gift) you have.

A healthy diet is also important. Keep your temple purified too (via periodic herbal cleansing and detoxing).

Burn essential oils of sage, frankincense, myrrh, and sandalwood while meditating and even sleeping (burn the oils in a diffuser). They will enhance your psychic faculties and your other 6th and 7th chakra qualities.

As you become more physically and mentally mature (despite still remaining unconscious) within the Matrix, your higher chakras also shut down (which remain pretty open and balanced when you were a child) and your lower chakras are more stimulated and activated though imbalanced (perhaps too stimulated or wide open).

The Matrix operates off of lower chakra energy and insalubrious attributes (ego, sexual lust, greed, fear, dominance, control, etc.) as fuel so when you become an adult (adulterated/corrupted/polluted via data downloaded into your various minds, yes - various minds), life becomes about hustle and bustle so as to make ends meet - you get on survival mode, especially so as to pay all of your bills (utilities, credit cards, mortgage, car note, school loans, etc.) and to experience the American Dream, the false American Dream created by someone else in which you attempt to attain while killing yourself (slowly but surely), impairing or harming yourself (your health), and neglecting your Higher Self (God within) and the higher spiritual values of life.

As an adult (mentally lobotomized by now via successful conditioning), you don't spend the necessary amount of time as you did as a child imagining, daydreaming, visualizing, etc. - all 3rd Eye or 6th Chakra functions and faculties.

Children take many waking life positive intentions with them to sleep and thus usually have very beautiful and vivid dreams that they can easily recall. That's why children can clearly tell you about their dreams though they may not be unable to decipher them (as dreams convey messages to us via the use of symbolism). As adults, we tend to take worldly issues to bed with us which rob us of the necessary dream world/state experiences we need and require and which actually serve us once we learn to decode the symbols or symbolism of our dreams.

"Before sleeping we should tune our minds to our highest aspirations, as this will determine the realms we are able to reach. If the mind is clogged with petty earthly considerations, such as the price of food or a quarrel with a neighbor, its owner is naturally drawn to the same type of vibration when asleep in the astral world." V.S. Alder

The sad fact and reality is: too many people are allowing television to influence their dreams and thus their after-life upon death, simply because they watch television (illusions, sex/porno, violence, lower vibration themes, etc.) and then go to bed and for some people, then even go to sleep while the television is still on and take in everything emitted from the television which is stored in the subconscious mind.

When we return from the dream world or lower astral plane, which is a very subtle realm, the vibrations of our dense body or physical/earthly body, at the moment of awakening (returning) shatters the memories of our dream state/world experience, and because of a weakened brain and thus impaired mind, we only retain a small yet jumbled and inconsistent translation of our dream experience and thus miss out on all the waking life messages (including answers to prayers and life's hard questions).

Before we die (transition), we have been building up our after-life in the astral plane (or world) which we visit upon sleeping each night. Unbeknownst to most people, especially the worldly religionist, we build the heaven or after-life we desire (even if we borrow the concept of heaven or the after-life from a religious belief system or doctrine or dogma), for even in death, our thoughts create our experiences and realities - the theme of the metaphysical classic film "What Dreams May Come" starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Consider the following:

"Of course, thousands build a Heaven with golden streets and angels playing on harps. These numberless living 'thought-forms' cohere by the law of attraction into one great whole, so that the conventional 'Heaven' is actually there awaiting its owners. Those who expect, because of their guilt, hell-fire and goblins, have created that charming reception for themselves also! The miser will probably have made for his use a heaven full of nothing but gold pieces. The Eastern pasha will certainly get his Paradise of Houris. The disbeliever in after-life will have created for himself a horrible blank abyss." Ibid

Each time we visit the dream world we are supposed to be preparing our desired heaven or after-life despite picking up waking life messages for our 3D existence.

Dreams have benefited me personally. As a child, I dreamed all the time, good and bad dreams, but still, much needed messages for me that I have been able to successfully decipher and therefore successfully live out my life's purpose in my present incarnation.

As I aged/matured within the Matrix, I lost my ability to consistently dream, and worse, the ability to recall my dreams. But becoming health conscious in the mid-1990s changed all of that. I stopped eating dead animal flesh (meat), dairy products (liquefied cow snot/pus), refined grains and starches, sugar, salt, MSG, etc. and began eating more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and consuming good water, consuming herbs and herbal compounds; started performing spiritual soaks, meditating, doing yoga and deep breathing, getting massages, began applying my mind to salubrious things and pursuits that served my best interests on all levels of my existence: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and intuitively; performing enemas and colonics; balancing my chakras (energy centers), working with divination, and practicing mental science exercises (visualization, imagining, affirmations, fantasizing, etc.) and a host of other salubrious things and lo and behold, I returned to the days of my childhood on many levels, especially pertaining to dreams.

I was dreaming vividly and could recall my dreams upon waking. Because I could recall my dreams I could interpret them, their meaning and as a result I was able to navigate through the Matrix successfully. Certain dreams were warning me in advance of certain events, which after deciphering their meaning, I could make decisions to avoid or prevent them, or handle them in a way that benefited myself and other people involved.

I could fly again, see my childhood friends (including those that were deceased on the 3D level), visit with my deceased parents, and more wondrously, clearly hear music, feel and touch, and even taste and smell in my dreams. I could apply all of my 5 senses in the dream world, and I still can and I'll never lose this ability again. Never!

The most negative dream could not be considered a nightmare. Nightmares totally disappeared from my reality and experience.

I could pick up on the frequencies of people who were thinking about me and would meet them in the dream world and express to them and them to me. I received many hugs from certain people that I could actually feel (including my mother who told me she loved me and missed me but that she was fine on the Other Side and thanked me for accepting her transition so she didn't have to worry about me as she does her other 3 children).

The more I began to consciously live righteous, do and be quintessentially me (myself), follow my heart; live, be, and think positive, and simply remain happy just on the strength, the better grade or quality of my sleep became which served my capacity to dream and recall them and apply them in waking life state.

I learned that the best remedy for a good night's sleep is a clear mind and that the best way to attain and maintain a clear mind was to live righteous and healthy and to live in truth, objective truth and subjective truth (my personal truth).

I would have to say the greatest tools that helped me to experience deep sleep and vivid and prophetic dreams were Nature's plants - herbs, specifically Jatamansi, Kava Kava, Valerian Root, and Lavender Flowers.

I would drink a tea of the foregoing herbs before retiring to bed every night. It became a ritual until I didn't need the herbs anymore.

It is all nervine herbs that will help to improve sleep and induce vivid dreams, herbs such as those named above but also Wild Lettuce, Nutmeg, Passionflower, Chamomile, Linden Flower, Blue Vervain, Scullcap, Catnip, Hops, and Jasmine Flower.

The best agents that helped me to recall my dreams (in full) were Nature's crystals, especially purple, indigo, and violet stones and crystals, i.e. Charoite, Purple Lepidolite, Amethyst, and Purpurite.

And I'd be remiss, in closing, if I didn't give an honorable mention to music - classical music and certain New Age music, music that was very serene and calming. Music too helped induce certain states during my sleep.

We can consciously program ourselves to dream again as well as be able to recall those dreams. There is a science to sleeping and dreaming that most people are totally oblivious too.

You can remember your dreams again!

Dear Djehuty - 4

Are Black people, especially in the U.S., cursed? How come you always hear about so much bad things happening with Black people, especially at the hands of White people? John B.

(Djehuty's Response)

Yes, Black people as a collective are cursed in my opinion! SELF-CURSED that is! They are cursed because they have chosen to be cursed by way of victim consciousness, ignorance, failing to deal with inner negative emotions, failing to learn from the past (history), lack of self-knowledge (refusal to learn pertinent things), and the most importantly, lack of self love.

But you can't love yourself when you don't know yourself. I know what 400+ years of slavery did to Black people but there's no excuse today when you know what's been done, what the agenda was, how it was carried out, the effects of the agenda, etc. It's 2009 and we're in the Age of Information and there's just no excuse for what you see with the majority of all Black people. Of course a few Black or African-American individuals are exempt, so this is not an indictment of every single Black or African-American person. Not at all! I'm speaking on a general level.

You can no longer blame Willie Lynch syndrome or Post Slavery Traumatic Syndrome (PSTS) for our collective actions and condition today. There's just too much accessible and valuable information today to undo the adverse effects of Willie Lynch Syndrome as well as PSTS.

The medicine is in the likes of the teachings and works of Dr. Yusef Ben Jochannan, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, J.A. Rogers, John G. Jackson, Carter G. Woodson, Malcolm X, Alvenia Fulton, Noble Drew Ali, Marcus. M. Garvey, Elijah Muhammad, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev. Ike, Min. Louis Farrakhan, Kwame Ture, Dr. Bobby Wright, Dr. Amos N. Wilson, Dr. Asa Hilliard, Dr. Chancellor Williams, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, Ashra and Meri-Ra Kwesi, Dr. Phil Valentine, Bobby Hemmitt, Jewel Pookrum, Dr. Laila O'Afrika, Dr. Sebi, Dr. Delbert Blair, Tim Morrow, Dr. Malachi Z. York, Neely Fuller, Steve Cokely, Dr. Nathan and Julia Hare, Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad, Del Jones, Queen Afua, Doctah B Sirius, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Na'im Akbar, Shahrazad Ali, Dick Gregory, George G.M. James, Anthony T. Browder, Runoko Rashidi, Tony Brown, Les Brown, Willie Jolley, Wally Amos, Keidi Obi Awadu, Jamaal Goree, Dennis Kimbro, Wallace Deen Mohamed, Akil, Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith, Alim El-Bey, Sara Suten Seti, Will Ali, and so many more! There's simply no excuse today!

When you understand the cause of a thing, you understand the effect of a thing. You can study the effect to understand the cause and you can study the cause to undo or reverse the effect.

Black Americans have to get out of VICTIM CONSCIOUSNESS mentality as well as POVERTY CONSCIOUSNESS mentality. Blacks, especially those of the Black consciousness community (Afrocentrism, Black nationalism, etc.) keep playing Blacks as victims of white supremacy. The more they focus on white supremacy the more power via energy they give to the concept of white supremacy. Their focus is all-wrong! All they have to focus on is what they desire, what they want as a collective. Why continually complain about that which you are powerless to change? Why harp on white supremacy if you can't change it? Too much energy goes on white supremacy, a greatly false doctrine.

Honestly speaking, today, I think Blacks believe in white supremacy more than white supremacists do. In focusing on white supremacy Blacks are not focusing on themselves. All they have to do is just focus on themselvesand let Higher Law do the rest. Universal law does not care about white supremacy or any other perceived obstacles.

In my opinion, Black people generally make too many excuses for their failures, shortcomings, defects, deficiencies, etc. Always pointing the finger at somebody or someone else for their shortcomings, the hell they catch, or why they're disenfranchised, dispossessed, disarrayed, and in the condition they're in.

Listen, if Blacks took over (moved into) white neighborhoods in the 1950s and 1960s due to Civil Rights (integration), how did the communities degenerate to the point of gangs, gang violence, and homicide, high teen pregnancy rates, vandalism, gang graffiti, black-on-black crime, black male abuse of the black female, one parent headed households, drug dealing, abuse, and addiction; epidemic of baby mommas and baby daddies, liquor stores on almost every other corner, fast food restaurants, etc.?

Many will say the U.S. government and corporations were responsible; after all, the government did bring in or allow crack cocaine to be sold (dealt) in inner city communities. But wait a minute! Wasn't the Black community Christian-based, meaning the community was into Jesus Christ? How could a people so fervent about God/Jesus allow the U.S. government to undo God/Jesus' way and protection?

And how come the U.S. government chose Black Americans to dump crack cocaine on initially and not Caucasians, Hispanics, Asians. Etc.? It's always Black people! Why does the U.S. government see Black people as so weak, expendable, helpless, and defenseless? Is it because Blacks themselves see themselves as all these things and government merely picks up on it and exploit the situation.

I can't deny the role of the federal government in sabotaging Black progressiveness and productivity in past years and decades, well, at least the social, cultural, and political progressiveness and productivity. It's well documented. But how can an agency like the F.B.I. or C.I.A. have so much power over God-fearing people, well, a people who profess to fear (be in awe of) God? These people are very loyal to Jesus but how come Jesus didn't protect this community? A lot of people want to know this.

We have more churches in the Black community than any other community in America and you mean to tell me all that good God-thumping preaching was not defense enough against the U.S. government's nefarious plans? What's up with that? All that praying Black folks do and are known for, couldn't protect the Black community and Black people?

Just recently an 85-year old Black woman got body slammed to the ground by a white female cop and the elderly Black woman's head burst open. Black people have got to learn to STOP giving law enforcement officers reasons for doing what they do. I didn't like the fact that the elderly lady got thrown to the ground and her head injured but the elderly lady had a knife.

Sickness or no sickness (as the elderly woman is reported to be, suffering from Alzheimers or dementia), she was a threat to public safety and this is the only defense that cop needed to justify her actions despite how disturbing it was to witness the elderly Black woman on the ground bleeding. For a people who are constantly in and out of the U.S. judicial/legal system, Black people in the U.S. need to become legally astute.

All you have to do is apply the principle of Cause and Effect. Holding a knife in public caused the incident. Had she not been holding a knife the officer would not have had grounds to cause her physical injury (the Effect) and if the white officer had harmed her while she was not carrying any weapon, then there'd be a clear and convincing claim of excessive force and police brutality. Our collective claims would be more convincing but too many times we give white law enforcement officials too much fuel to cause us injury. Not all the time, but most times.

Even with the killing of a Black man by a white BART official in Oakland, California (which was clearly unjustified and criminal in nature), many white officers (not all) see Blacks, especially Black males, as expendable and there's a history of unjustifiable homicide where the cops, regardless of race but generally white or Caucasian cops, get off Scott free! It's like it's embedded in the psyche of many White cops, especially White male cops.

Go back to the Rodney King beating in Los Angeles back in 1991. Despite the beating being on tape, the white officers initially walked (got off Scott free). There's pretty much a legal precedent established but unwritten that if police officers beat a Black person, it was justifiable no matter the circumstance.

I say stop giving police officers an excuse to do what they do. Five O would not be all up in the Hood (community) if we didn't give them a reason to be in the Hood patrolling the way they do. Most of the crime committed in the Hood is committed by Black people on other Black people, just like with the Oakland beauty salon beating whereby Black females savagely beat another Black female all over some trifling ghetto gossip.

Situations like these feed the fire of stigmas and stereotypes, whether they are legitimate or not, or created by others outside of the Black community or not. I say to Black people: STOP DOING CRIME! STOP LIVING UNRIGHTEOUS! STOP BEING NIGGAS!

Remove the need for the police and the police would have to go away. Police claim to protect and to serve but if the community were safe (and even self-governed under a uniform moral code across the nation) there'd be no need for law enforcement agencies to protect anyone or anything and if the people were self-independent and personally responsible (for their own actions and conduct) there'd be no need for law enforcement to serve the community at all.

Just because government may put dope or drugs in the Hood or allow dope or drugs to come in to the Hood doesn't mean folks have to consume and deal them. Black people have a lot of inner self problems they need to address as a collective and monolithic people. "The outer conditions reflect the inner conditions." It's never the other way around.

Today, Dr. Malchi Z. York is locked up in prison but it was his own people whom he was serving and helping who put him in prison. Why testify and then recant? Simply just don't testify in the first place and simply sacrifice yourself for the sake of this leader (since you operate on religious belief mode anyway and need a savior). Dr. York offered more to the people and his community than all the people who testified against him. Why didn't these few people (mostly women) sacrifice themselves for the sake of the community and/or their leader?

Even under duress and coercion by prosecutors, just don't lie on the man. Be like the Mafia and have a code of silence. Keep your mouth shut and do not help your enemy convict your leader and destroy your community. Now you got Dr. York members running around talking about they recanted their testimonies. Hell, they never should have said anything in the first place. You wouldn't have to recant anything had you kept your mouth shut (unless Dr. York really committed some crimes)! Now your community is gone and now it's all about "Free Dr. York!"

And if Dr. York is guilty of any charges levied against him, again, he should not have given his enemies any power to arrest him.

"But Djehuty, what about DWB (Driving While Black)?" You should have the right to drive or travel without fear of being pulled over due to your skin color, but if Blacks became legally astute and knew how to argue the law in court (traffic court) as well as how to sue cops in federal court under Title 42 U.S.C. section 1983 then these White officers who pull Blacks over by virtue of race would think twice before doing so. If Blacks (and even all other races of Americans) would learn the art of inconveniencing law enforcement and municipalities, things wouldn't be so out-of-control. Learn to clog up those courts and watch what happens.

Black people have been in America too damn long to not know how the game is played. In too many cases, Blacks are preyed upon because of their ignorance; so common sense would and should dictate that Blacks need to start becoming the opposite of ignorant (which is intelligent) as well as knowledgeable and wise and thus prevent from being preyed upon.

If the legal system is biased against the interests of African-Americans, you'd think there'd be a movement to saturate law firms with Black attorneys, to saturate courthouses and courtrooms with Black judges, and to saturate DA offices with Black prosecutors who will implement what they learned in church all of their lives in courtrooms pertaining to Black defendants as well as every other race or nationality of defendants. But no! Despite all these injustices to Blacks in the American legal or judicial system, what do the majority of Blacks, especially Black youth, desire to be?

ANSWER: Professional athletes, models, actors and actresses, comedians, rappers, singers, strippers and pole dancers, and other kinds of entertainers.

In fact, I truly think it's safe to say that more young inner city African-American males would prefer to be a pimp more so than a lawyer or judge. And then you wonder why justice and equality is so disproportionately handed out between Blacks, Whites and other races?

Black males are less than 6% of the total U.S. population but constitute 70% of all prisoners. Where's the collective conspiracy by African-Americans to infiltrate the American court/legal/judicial system so as to mete out justice to all people who come into that system, especially Black males?

And all that money Black churches collectively collect every Sunday and we don't have the necessary money to build our own Black-owned television stations, national chain of Black-themed bookstores, national Black-owned hospitals, national Black-owned universities, national Black-owned private schools, national Black-owned chain of hotels, national chain of Black-owned banks, national chain of Black hair and nail salons, and other businesses that service the needs of the African-American community? Other so-called minorities and races have these social amenities above.

Dr. Sebi says Blacks need to get their food from Africa. He's right! I agree! But how many boats or vessels do Blacks in the United States own to send to Africa and bring this African food back to the United States?

Don't tell me the money is not there! Your Black Christian preachers are sitting on that money that could really improve life in America for African-Americans. But they are too damn selfish and egotistical in the negative sense of being selfish.

When Black people clean up their own houses (homes, communities, etc.) you'll automatically see how society and other races begin to treat Black people better. All Black people as a collective have to do is become a progressive and productive people, an asset to the nation and world OUTSIDE of song and dance, entertainment, jestering, and jigabooility and learn to self-govern themselves as individuals, a community, and racial group and saturate fields such as law, business, commerce, diplomacy, economics, finance, government, journalism, medicine (alternative medicine included), law enforcement, psychology and psychiatry, etc. and things will begin to get better on all levels. They'll be seen as a social and national asset instead of a liability. They'll be able to direct the flow of things instead of just going along with the flow of things, even things that are not really in their best interests.

When Blacks as a people begin to genuinely love and show love for themselves, this love will emit into the ethers and they'll soon receive a genuine love from the other races on the planet. Don't focus on white supremacy; only focus on love, freedom, positivity, unity, etc.

As Blacks we wouldn't have to talk so much about our once glorious past if we were a productive and progressive people BUILDING and CREATING things that advance the world in the present, or TODAY!

As a people, we went from the pyramids to the projects. Now where's the glory in that? A truly great people will rise (to the top) despite all the challenges and obstacles thrown at them.

The problem as I see it is that Blacks as a collective people in the United States are too focused on the obstacles and challenges (which are really opportunities) rather than the prize: rising to the top!

All curses can be removed! Especially if you are the one who put the curse on yourself!

You can't change what happened to Blacks in the past, granted. But you damns sure can change things today!

Get out of the helpless past and focus on the self-empowering NOW or PRESENT!

Dear Djehuty - 5

Djehuty, "Are you saying that Jesus is a symbol and he is not to be worshiped?" And, "How do you know when your "eye" is opened?"

(Djehuty's Response)

But the Rulers of the Matrix have duped the masses into worshipping Jesus as some God-like entity so most Christians are merely followers and are in the same social, civic, financial, and domestic rut as other Americans (or people/citizens) including those who don't believe in Jesus, getting their asses handed to them by corrupt government and are TOO POWERLESS to do anything about it.

For example, Christianity (as well as Islam) is against usury and we all know that usury simply means "interest." But how many Christians (or Muslims) do you know that can live without credit, especially in the form of a credit card?

We all pay interest (usury) on mortgages, car notes, credit cards, department store cards, school loans, etc.

Personally, I don't have a problem with interest (even though I don't receive interest as it is another term for "income" and brings one under IRS jurisdiction for income tax purposes) because I understand it.

Interest is just like fire: it can serve or benefit you on one hand, and on the other hand harm you. But it all boils down to being either knowledgeable or ignorant pertaining to interest.

Poor people are usually ignorant and thus interest harms them due to debt. Rich and wealthy people are usually intelligent and thus interest serves them, making them richer. Interest can compound either detrimentally or beneficially depending on the person.

So pertaining to usury ("interest"), who are we obeying if we TRULY believe in Jesus and Jesus as God or Lord Almighty?

Talk is cheap and ACTIONS speak! The Biblical Jesus says it himself: "With your MOUTHS you do worship me, but your hearts are far from me." You can't be a Christian without being a hypocrite simply because you can't overpower your government that forces you to sin (deal with usury or interest). Not trying to make you feel bad, but just being real and practical!

You see, I don't deal with religion, especially man-made religion because I DESPISE hypocrisy and powerlessness. I don't go along to get along.

Now many will retort to the "usury (interest)" statement above by saying Jesus did say render unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar, but Jesus never said who Caesar was.

You (and I) could represent Caesar (King or Queen of yourself, your own being) and thus you should give to yourself the things that rightfully belong to yourself, like your income or salary that YOU work for; but instead, government (IRS) is taking 40% of your hard earned pay and you think it is lawful and your duty to allow as a citizen but even your U.S. Constitution states that all direct taxes shall be apportioned according to the enumeration of the census, meaning that all people who are taxed by government must pay the same amount tax according to the population of the State they reside or dwell in. But hell, everybody is being taxed differently (a gradual income tax) letting you know that our modern day taxing is not a direct one (direct tax) and thus unconstitutional and therefore illegal or unlawful and thus criminal as it is applied and enforced. You see, talk is cheap but actions speak!

They (Rulers of the Matrix) have people worshipping Jesus instead of being like Jesus. Worshipping someone and being LIKE someone are two entirely different things!

Jesus: "GREATER works than I do shall ye do." Yeah, right! How can this ever manifest when people think it is a sin to be greater than Jesus? Why would a believer desire to be greater than that which he or she is worshipping? To be greater than that which you worship means that which you worship no longer needs to be worshipped because now you are "self-activated" in personal power and now nothing needs to be worshipped? Why worship when you can experience? We all can experience Jesus via Christ Consciousness.

I'm not mad at the men who control the masses of the people in the world. I'm not! Is it really Jesus' fault if the masses of people choose to be ignorant, foolish, oblivious, silly, unconscious, and stupid?

Ma'am, the biblical Jesus never told anybody to worship and follow him, though Christians are great at contorting words and phrases to fit what they have been taught and trained to believe so as to continue believing.

The biblical Jesus gave the best advice when he said: "The Kingdom of God is WITHIN!" Meaning "the kingdom of God is within self!" But to a people who are weak, spineless, indolent, and who have a "sheep" mentality, this is too much! It is too much to delve deep within self (to find sought after truths of life) and is easier to be a dumb follower easily led to the slaughter so as to complain about being victimized by someone else or some other external factor.

It was the European slave-master (who used Christianity and the Bible as a tool to facilitate enslavement of human beings) who taught the ignorant masses to worship Jesus. Jesus never wrote a book and that's why the 4 gospels are called "The Gospel ACCORDING to Matthew, Luke, John, and Mark."

Ma'am, I would humbly suggest you check out the metaphysical or occult aspect of Christianity known as Gnostic Christianity. All man-made religions have a deeper counterpart that is in tune with higher, spiritual, divine, and Universal law. In Christianity, it is called Gnostic Christianity. In Islam it is called Sufism. In Judaism it is called Kabbalah.

Ma'am, I don't feel sorry for the people of the world and all the hell folks catch or that is in the world. I don't! I have learned too much and at a very early age in life. Like we learn in man-made law: "Ignorance of the law is no excuse." Well, the same can be said pertaining to ignorance of higher or Universal law.

I'm not mad at anyone who chooses of their own free will to worship Jesus, Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh or any other Annunaki-like entity as God supreme. To each his own! All Djehuty is saying is whatever God you believe in and whatever religion you believe in, let it work for you wholistically.

You shouldn't bitch or complain about anything and that includes not having love in your life (the man or woman or husband/wife of your dreams/desire), lack of money, catching hell on the job, being punked (taxed, robbed) by government, being dogged out by people; being sick and plagued with diseases; inability to govern your children, spouse, and/or household; inability to make extra or more money without compromising yourself or killing yourself by working 2,3, or 4 jobs on the side; inability to do for self; inability to stop police brutality in your community; inability to stop errant youth (gang-banging, homicide) in your community; inability to use your mind to solve any and all problems that could or may arise, etc.

If God is all-wise, all-knowing, and all-powerful and you claim and believe to KNOW God and have a relationship with God, then it makes no sense for anyone to have problems on any front and not be able to get the answer (from God, of course) and solve the problem, and sooner rather than later. What good is God if you have problems and can't solve them?

How can you know God and desire something strongly (for yourself) and not have it RIGHT NOW? The question is: do you have all of your heart's desire at this very moment while professing to know God and having an intimate relationship with God? If not, why not?

For your second question: That "eye" being opened talked about in the helios Biblios or Holy Bible is talking about the metaphysical THIRD EYE which is the 6th chakra (called 'Ajna' in Sanskrit) which is the seat of Christ Conscious and the other higher faculties of intuition, psychic ability, ESP, clairvoyance, clair-audience, and clair-sentience. It is the "Isle of Pe-ni-el" (in the Book of Genesis) where jacob saw God face to face and did not lose his life but instead have his life preserved.

This "eye" has to do with the mystical gland of the endocrine system called the pineal gland, the master gland of the body and endocrine system and which corresponds and correlates to the Brow and Crown chakras.

I don't have the time to delve deeper here but I strongly advise you to start studying the metaphysical, arcane, or occult aspect of Christianity and Jesus. We have been taught to stay away from these words or subjects due to them allegedly being evil but how can studying anything be evil? Evil only results from doing evil, Beloved.

It is this truth (higher spiritual truth) that will truly make you free. I bear witness to it!

Peace and Love!

Also, people like Jordan did the HARD work. This thing called luck greatly resembles a thing called hard work.

People who fail at a thing fail because they are deficient in some respect. They may not work the same laws as those who are successful. Artists who are making a lot of money perhaps envisioned themselves making a lot of money from their art, while the financially broke artists are not. These broke artists may just like doing art and nothing more. They are content and satisfied from the good feeling of doing art alone, but the Universe answers our desires and if an artist just desires to do art, that's what the Universe will give. If you're an artist that desires to be rich and famous, then also that's what the Universe gives.

There are always missing pieces to the puzzle, Beloved. People who are successful do EVERYTHING necessary for success. Luck is not involved. Luck just simply looks very similar to a thing called 'hard work.' These people supra create their karma (luck) via hard work. They study and work hard, they imagine, fantasize, and desire; they sacrifice and surrender (i.e. time, energy, relationships, etc.); they have drive, determination, ambition, and passion; they have GOALS and they work toward those goals. They make no excuses.

The above is why my herb company continues to thrive despite being the #1 black-owned herbal company in the world. Many African-American herbalists have been involved with herbs way more years than myself, but I came out of nowhere and went straight to the top almost overnight. I applied my knowledge of not only herbs and human health, but universal law, spirituality, business, psychology, magic, customer service, etc and intertwined them. Like Bruce Lee, I did things MY WAY! I dreamed the impossible dream! I visualized and imagined every single day of my life. I created a way to "marketucate" (marketing via educating). These other herbalists were not doing that. I had a desire to truly educate people and you see this on Dherbs.com. Others wanted to sell the information. I gave it away for free and that's why more people visit Dherbs.com than the sites of all these other African-American herbalists combined. I didn?t limit myself to just African-Americans either, though that?s my target audience (because it was needed).

My success is not luck! It is from hard work over the years - a work that has not stopped to this day. I still have the same passion I did 10 years ago. As Earl Nightengale said: "Passion comes from learning (new things, more things) and success." This is so true! Trust me, there's a reason why some people are successful and others are not. Some have goals, others do not! A lot of inner city B-Ball players just simply never had any goals to end up in the NBA for if they did, they would have done what was necessary to end up in the NBA and that would have included going to school and excelling academically, going to practice and competing, playing on the school's team, etc.

A true athlete acts like an athlete and thinks like an athlete. These inner city B-Ballers who are better than the guys in the NBA may have great B-Ball skills but they act like thugs, gangsters, criminals, etc. Their athleticism ends on the B-Ball court. They are not watching old NBA videos of the past NBA greats to improve their game. They didn't place themselves in a position or location to be discovered by college and/or NBA scouts. You have to be in school and on campus to be discovered. Scouts don't go to the Hood. First of all, there are too may playgrounds in the Hood.

In my opinion, in my day, the best basketball players played at 107th Street Elementary School after school was out. This location was South Central Los Angeles. It was a vortex of talent. I learned to play basketball at this same location. I became the best for a while because I played with the best. I gave up on basketball in 1988 and after I graduated from high school (Locke H.S.). I had to discover life and began hitting the streets (for 2 years). The streets wasn't anything nice and I caught hell on the streets - crazy females, being chased by thugs, getting pulled over left and right by L.A.P.D. and the L.A. County Sheriff's, you name it.
