What Is God?
“What is God?” is a question that generates a different response from everyone who is asked. People who believe in a god will respond by saying that he/she is the creator of the universe and everything in it. On the other hand, most Atheists will deny the existence of a god without having any real alternative to explain their own existence.
Dohgons could never be so unwise because although we don’t believe in the god described in popular religions we do acknowledge that we have a creator. In fact, we know that the creative force behind the universe are Pure Dark Energy Waves. The difference between Atheists, Believers and Us is that we are wiser than to conceptualize the Great Spirit using our limited human perceptions. We know that the best way to understand the Great Spirit is to try our best to understanding its creation.
The God of popular culture is limited by the religions that describe him. All religions portray God as an all-knowing, all-loving being who desires the best for humanity. Unfortunately, those same religions cannot explain why God allows evil to persist in the world. Religions cannot be used to accurately recall history or understand nature and science. The only thing that religions are useful for is to understand human nature. The problem with society is that people are trying to use religion to explain what it can’t instead of what it can.
The Spirit of the universe created Life to be self-directed so Life survives and thrives using one basic mechanism, which is desire fulfillment. It installed two basic instincts in every living thing, a fear of death to protect Life and an inclination toward itself to guide us. That is why every race and culture throughout history and the Planet have attributed their existence to a higher power.
In ancient times humans used their Spiritual inclination to create gods for things they didn’t understand such as; the sun, the moon, the stars, thunder and lightning, and everything that they perceive as having an effect on their life. For their various gods they created deities that had to be guarded in case their enemies were to destroy them. It wasn’t until slaves in Egypt discovered that an imaginary god was more powerful than a physical one that the god concept became enhanced a thousand times.
As time went by kings and religious leaders used the power of the single imaginary god concept to form the foundation of organized religion. They recognized that no other power, not even their own, had the ability to control the minds of people. Today most people still live by the power of the concept; unfortunately they don’t know how it works because if they did they wouldn’t call it god.
So, if religion can’t accurately explain human existence or halt our self destruction, what is it that peple are referring to as god? The Spiritual essence of the universe created humans with an inclination back toward itself, the Spirit. That same Spiritual inclination is also what makes us consider our actions in terms of Right and Wrong. So in essence, the god of popular culture is the human Conscience.
All major religions were developed to give purpose to people’s lives. They do so with the help of an imaginary humanoid that possesses super-human abilities as well as a power over life and death. That figure is then given universal moral judgment over people’s lives. Individuals believe they can gain the favor of the god by being faithful and morally upright. No problem there!
Religious people all around the world today are trying their best to gain the favor of their imaginary Gods. They become obsessed with fighting the Desires of life by fasting, praying, and trying to do good but because they always become ruled by the same Desire that they’re trying to regulate, they don’t realize that God is really their Conscience.
The Trump Effect On Black Consciousness
Understanding the Trump effect on Black Consciousness.
So America has elected Donald Trump for president, a man who offends Black people while fueling the flames of racism to reach a temperature that America hasn’t experienced in decades. What surprises most people but not us is that many Black people actually voted for him. Some of us are calling them dumb but Black Trump supporters are using their brain. They’re just not using it for racial unity. Instead, they are trying to defend their religions, their bank accounts, and to defend their lack of cultural identity.
Among Black conservatives you have the evangelicals, the business professionals, and the racially disconnected. The Black evangelicals want to fit in with the larger group of evangelicals so they support the ideology that a god is coming soon so Black people just need to endure our suffering just a little while longer. The business professionals want to protect their financial interests from socialist ideologies such as high taxes, high wages and universal healthcare. And the racially disconnected are trying their best to disassociate themselves from the “Black community” because of its stereotypes.
All three groups are trying to use their conscience by buying into the false narrative of conservatism, which is primarily built on Ideology, not Truth. What Black conservatives are actually doing is comforting their uneasy presence among people who do not like them (cooning). Why aren’t they using their status for the cause of Black unity? The reason is because Black cultures around the world and especially in America have been systematically destroyed and replaced by systems designed to limit our potential while training us to keep the wheels of religion and business rolling.
This condition is evident by the fact that most Black people refuse to understand what their conscience really is. Conscience comes from the Spirit of the universe and is the thing that makes us hate seeing Black people acting like fools, killing one another, drug dependent, and complacent. Conscience is what makes Black people hate the condition we find ourselves in and want to change it. Conscience regulates the Desires generated by our Free Will to form Morals. Religion is the placement of a group of morals into the hands of a regulator known as a God.
True Black Consciousness is our Conscience directing us toward a love of Race, culture, and AfRAkan origins. Once we learn to understand ourselves we will no longer need religions to fortify our morals because we will function using Fairness, Equity, and Accountability. This is true conservatism therefore, at such a time, it will be impossible for Black consciousness to become co-opted by someone like Trump.
