Peace.
The latter portion of 38:40 says, “...Destroy him in 1 day without falling victim to the devil’s civilization..." Let me tell you this if you were uncertain. I. HATE. DEVILS. Case closed. But the thing that people don’t often recognize that just because I hate them doesn’t mean I can’t work with them. And I can hate, without it holding sway over me. That bullshit about hate and holding grudges means that another residing in your head is pure bullshit. I hate getting sick. That means I take steps to avoid getting sick. And no one says that hating being sick is too harsh.
Don’t let folks try to tell you what to think! Stop giving away your Power!
In this Wilderness, devils hold dominion. There is very little that an Original person can do in this country without the devil’s influence. I would dare say the thought processes of Original people are COMPLETELY influenced by the devil’s ideologies and indoctrination. It would take a wondering in the desert to kill said influence. But haven’t we been wandering? More on that in a minute….
If you want to get a job, you must deal with devils. If you want to get an education, you must deal with devils. If you want to live somewhere, you must deal with devils. If you want to buy a car, you must deal with devils. And so on and so on and so on. There is no avoiding them. The 3rd and 4th degree of the 1-10 shows that in this wilderness Original people make up 15% of the population. Now… the 1-10 was written in 1933 so the numbers are different now. But we don’t outnumber them… at all. Yes we may be having more babies, but do those babies make it reasonably to adulthood? There are more of them than us.
Look at the people who make laws…. How many Black people are in congress? According to the internet, 43. There are more than 500 in the house and Senate combined. Who many original governors are there? 2. Out of 50 states. Guess what? Original people Must deal with the devil. There is no current reality where Original people can still live in the USA and write off the devil. So we must learn how to coexist. You can live in a Black neighborhood, you can go to a Black school, you can work in a Black hair salon, selling oils/sneakers/etc or a Black funeral home, you can buy a car from a Black dealership but eventually….. You Will Have To go see the white man about something. Does your money have Black people on it? Take that stank “revolutionary” attitude with you into white ciphers and you will be stopped in your tracks.
So how it possible to destroy them in 1 day??? The day you realize that even though your body get rented to the devil for various and sundry activities, your mind is 100% yours. Just because I work with the devil doesn’t mean I have accepted the okeydoke. I go to work, do my job, collect my money and come home. This does not mean that I accept them. I know how to work with them to get what I need for my own personal comfort. But I have rejected them from my mental Cipher.
I said that we as a people in this country have been wandering. We have. Since we were released from slavery, we have been trying to figure out our place in this wilderness. And I am not mad at former slaves for needing to do that. It took generations to break proud African slaves and transform them into subservient slaves. It should take time adjust their minds back to the proud warriors we once were. Black folks were literally scared shitless of the devil. It takes a minute to shake that off. Every generation is stronger than the previous… or should be. Today there is no excuse for old fuckery. Just as Moses had to walk the Jews through the desert for a generation to kill the yearning and attachment to Egypt so we have to do the same thing (I’m curious to why it’s taking so long but so be it).
After this nice long build, my point is this…. Just because you have to live in Yacub’s world manifest, doesn’t mean that it has to live in you. Destroy that shit. Kill it dead. But learn how to interact with the devil peaceably. And you will be a much happier person.
Peace.
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be brought to you by the
Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
The revolution will not make you look five pounds
thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.
There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
or report from 29 districts.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.
There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.
Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock
news and no pictures of hairy armed women
liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message
bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
You will not have to worry about a dove in your
bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with Coke.
The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.
