This World Is Supernatural
This world is supernatural. Even with our limited perception of reality, most Black people can see that. Unfortunately, most Black people rely on religions that claim that reality is the work of a God that creates things for his pleasure them keeps them in perfect order to support their existence. Science tries its best but still cannot convincingly explain how the Earth is sustained. If the Earth’s position changes by even one degree it would cause a global catastrophe in which half of life would be wiped out.
So, if so many things in our reality appears to be supported by supernatural forces, why do our personal realities not support that. Death, pain, sickness, grief, and sadness are all realistic things that are just a blink of an eye away from every moment of our lives. We eat things that are making us sick and are causing Cancer and other deadly diseases but we don’t know it until its too late. We go through generations of rape, murder, and oppression at the hands of wicked people yet there is no supernatural help unless we sacrifice our own happiness so that our children might live better than we did.
If a god exists then why does he allow us to experience pain and sorrow? Religious people say no, God is not responsible for our pain and sorrow; our pain and sorrow is a product of the free-will that God gave all mankind. It is the free-will of man that causes pain and sorrow, not God. Ok, will why doesn’t God shield the righteous from the pain and sorrow inflicted on man to man? The answer that they give is that God sees the pain and sorrow of all righteous people and will reward the sinner with Hell and the righteous with resurrection to Heaven.
Religion offers such a comforting view of reality that Black people have become bound to the comforting message that it provides. They are so faithful to their religions that they are willing to endure the pain, sorrow, and grief they are subjected to and even forgive our oppressors. There are some of us who are not willing to endure those kinds of hardships in our lives. In fact, we would rather die than live with unhappiness.
In the meantime, and since our Mind is meant for using, we choose to use our Minds to redefine the supernatural nature of our existence. We do not believe that we were created by a God who is watching our sorrow but is doing nothing to help us. The pain, sorrow, and grief that we feel are too real to believe that it is all to test our faith. We are not interested in any type of omnipotent existence that we had to endure pain to receive.
No, we choose to believe that we are already omnipotent Spirits who chose to enter this reality simply in order to experience it. The pain, sorrow, and grief that we feel are real and are the reality of the humans we chose to incarnate as. We who have incarnated as the Black Race are the most resilient Spirits in the Universe. We will master the supernatural nature of this existence and make its evils bow before us.
Why Homosexuality Disturbs Me
Everywhere we look these days there is evidence to suggest that Homosexuality is becoming more acceptable in society. The other day I even passed two guys holding hands and strolling carelessly down the street. Online they seem to have taken over Social Media; hugging, kissing, and flaunting their affection without restraint. I became so offended by it that I had to sit back and ponder why Homosexuality disturbs me.
The #1 reason Homosexuality disturbs me is because I get disgusted at the thought and sight of two same sex individuals exchanging affection for each other. Is it conditioning or a natural reaction? It maybe a little bit of both. However, being an open-minded person allows me to get to my own conclusions about homosexuality without the opinions of others. Unfortunately, reality often takes a back seat to the ideologies of the society we live in.
As an open minded individual I have tried to gain a good understanding of Homosexuality. So far my understanding allows me to mentally accept that a person can be Homosexual based on hormone values set before birth. Conversely, most people believe that Homosexuality is the choice of an immoral mind. That gives them an excuse to use self righteousness and Religion to discriminate against Gay people. They never allow themselves to be guided by logic. Some forms of ideology enslave the Mind while some others help us grow as Humans. I want to be one who grows by using right thinking.
I am a Heterosexual man who has very strong attractions to the opposite sex. I know it is Nature and my Hormones that determine that. In fact, I know that my opposite sex attraction is for the purpose of perpetuating Life. Humanity has become so self centered in thinking that Life is all about Humanity that they refuse to acknowledge how Life really works. They abuse life by willfully disregarding things that seem to have no value or affect on their quest for happiness and contentment.
The refusal to understand Life has resulted in an ideology based mindset. Some scholars have accepted a belief that without ideology Humanity would be in chaos and without direction. The truth is, morality existed long before ideology. Ideology is the grouping of a set of values for the purpose of maintaining a system of thought. For instance; if you believe that Homosexuality is wrong, you will reinforce that belief by thinking of all the ways in which it is immoral. You will also gain confidence in your belief by associating with others who believe as you do.
If, on the other hand your mind functions outside of ideology you will try to find out why Homosexuality really upsets you. Earlier I mentioned Hormones and it is precisely the reason why I feel as I do. All our Emotions are controlled by our Hormones or lack thereof. Therefore, the conflict between ideology and reality can be averted by our ability to control our emotions. It is rationality over emotions or Left Brain over Right. I still believe that Homosexuality is wrong but not for the same reasons as most people. It is not wrong in the sense of “choice” but wrong in the sense that it is abnormal. Most people who abhor Homosexuality believe that it is a choice and that only immoral people choose to be Homosexual.
I am a believer in Life/ANKH in all its incarnations. I believe that the purpose of life is to flourish. It does so by using two distinct mechanisms of reproduction, sexual and asexual. Sexual reproduction involves the joining of reproductive tissue from two different sexes, male and female. Asexual reproduction involves one single living organism splitting in two to create two separate organisms, each one identical to the original. In both mechanisms the process is carried on perpetually. Homosexuality does not fit any of the two therefore to me it is abnormal. Two Homosexuals cannot reproduce therefore it is not a creation of Life but a result of Human Biology. Life was not made for Humans, Humans are mearely the result of the processes of Life.
