Peace Y'all,
Me and 'Cise was building about the demise of Al and Tipper Gore's relationship. I'm not one of those people who hangs on everything celebrities do, but the breakup seemed out of place to me. Political people tend to stay married unless one of the parties publicly fucks up. Then that is the "get out of jail free" card for the other party. Along with a book deal, all the family's assets and some nice jewelry. As Evana Trump once said, "Don't get mad. Get everything." But squeaky clean political couples tend to stay hitched because family and morals are what earns them their gold.
The God said that the problem must have been (conjecture since we don't personally know the Gores), they must not have been giving each other the proper affection. I'm being gentle in my choice of wording. Y'all know he got the screwface on that. But as I give it thought.... I am remembering a bit of advice my late mother-in-law gave me.
My late husband and I found an apartment right before we got married, and moved into it like 2 weeks before the wedding. His whole family helped us move into the apartment. It was a big party. Once we were done and my husband and his brothers were returning the trucks, I found myself alone with his mother and sisters. His mother said to me the best way to keep friendly relations between husband and wife is to make sure there is plenty of sex. That seemed strange and self serving for a woman to be giving her new daughter-in-law advice that would benefit her son. But I had to listen and consider the information because at the date of that koran, she and her husband had been happily married for 51 years.
My MIL said it doesn't matter whether I'm in the mood or not t the onset, once I'm in the moment I'll be in the mood. And a little sex never hurt anyone in marriage. Her daughters were sitting next to me all nodding their heads. I had no words. I'm not saying I took her advice. What I am saying is when I heard the same thing coming out the God's throat, I have to think there is more to the process. It's not like my MIL has returned from a physical death to possess Precise.
My mother used to warn me that having sex would make me sick because the man would rob me of all my energy and leave me to drained to be any use to anyone. She said women need the strength they get from holding out. My father used to tell me I don't have any business being that strong. Y'all can read in between the lines to know that my parents marriage ain't make it. It have witnessed that when you are physically involved with an individual if you're doing it right, essences of each other go back and forth. The man gets interested in sewing and the woman will watch a race. Taoism says as much. You have seen couples that laugh and giggle long past their honeymoon time and you have seen couples that should not be together because their natures aren't compatible but the sex it too good to leave it alone. The lure of the power U or the divine king is so intense they can't stop themselves. So maybe there is something to this sex your man/woman to death concept.
Maybe the Gores should try sexual counseling before they call it quits? They will have to make some changes.... Al is gonna have to lose some weight and become clean shaven. For a minute he looked like a bear. And Tipper is going to have to loosen up and channel her inner Beyonce. Tipper, embrace sexually explicit hip hop, It's soothing and educational.
Peace

Muslims, Bitches and Niggers
Damn! That title is inflammatory, is it not? It was meant to be to get your attention. Please read on.
As I was meditation on 120 during my morning walk I came across the term 'Muslim'. This is something me and Precise get into periodically. Discussing how I feel about that term and how it's defined and so forth. I've been to rallies or just imformal gatherings where Gods will build and use the term Muslim with bile and acid. I get it that when a lot of G's and E's use it, it's meant to be an insult. It's meant to imply a religious affiliation. My apologies. I just don't get hot like that for the word.
The Oxford dictionary on my desk, defines a Muslim as... a follower (another word folks dislike) of the religion revealed by Muhammad with Allah as God. Nice and neat definition. Some definitions read a follower of Islam. Clearly we, Allah's 5% Nation of Gods and Earths, are not a religion. That's on the front page. But the term Muslim is found with in our lessons and we say our Culture is Islam or Peace.
As a woman, I have affectionately used the term "Bitich" to joke and tease my female or gay male comrades. When I say it, they know I'm teasing. Women do that frequently. Also an Original person, I have used the term "Nigger" to joke and play with other Original people. There are arguments on both sides about whether this is an appropriate form of teasing.That ain't what this blog is about. But both women and Black people know that I am jesting because by referring to said people using said word maliciously, that would be calling my own self the same words. And I don't insult myself.
So where does that put me in the Muslim argument? I recognize that in the purest definitian fo the word that it does not apply. But when you consider who is using the word, what his mission was and the time that the degrees were written I see why T.H.E.M. used that particular term. It was important for the Nation he was building. When Allah left the mosque he did not remove the word "Muslim." He removed Skunk form the 1-10.... Or is that an urban legend?
I get it that if a rightoues person comes to me a mean an surly and calls me a... Muslim, I will know that I have been insulted. But that is applicable to people who come at me withthe same emotion and call me a bitch or a nigger. But just bandying the terms around in jest? Nothings. Stop letting words have power over you.
Peace

Decide or Agree
I'm done with my Master Allah Why fast and can now get back to this blog. I feel like I have neglected her in my quest to feel better. But better I do feel and now I can give my thoughts over to the Math....
I have stated before that I have 2 sets of degrees. I have the set of degrees that I was working with my 1st educator. And I have the set that I completed with Precise. (A predicament peculiar to Earths I suppose) I had completed the 1-40 before abandoning the 1st set to take Precise?s 120. Sometimes I get confused about the exactness of my degrees simply because I have more than 1 set rolling around in my dome. Where as most of it is the same, there are words here and there that don?t match.
I was at a rally waaaaaay back in March and I listened to a God build on 10:40 and 34:40 saying that those were the 2 only spots in 120 where it says we agreed. Of course my alarm went off. I was thinking the words were decided and not agreed. That screwed with me until I got be to the rest and checked both sets of degrees. The 1st set said ?decided? the second set said ?agreed?. Dilemma solved. But was it?
Since that rally, I have been pondering the difference between the 2 words. Agreed vs. decided. Oxford defines agreed as? to hold a similar opinion; consent; to be in harmony with others. I defines decided as? coming to a resolution if used as a verb. If used as an adverb it means unquestionable. Hmmm?? Interesting
If you agree it means that you are doing so with other people. If you decide you are doing this solo. Depending on the word that your degree has changes the entire flavor of said degrees.
I can see value in knowing who you are and having clarity in your Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding. But within this nation one must work with others. You cannot be in this solo; because our mission is resurrecting the 85% from a state of mental death. So there is merit in both words.
I still may be slightly salty that I had to redo 120, but since I?m done I can look past it. And the best part is, I have 2 different perspectives to consider.
Peace

She's Crazy.....
I love my mother. I really do. But I gotta accept that she is crazy and keep it moving.
I don't have that warm fuzzy relationship with my mother that other folks do. My realtionship with my mom is so off, when I see other people having great relationships with their mothers I think something is wrong with them! I'm not placing all the blame at her feet (although.... who's fault could it be?) I suppose I could have been a better daughter. But I'm thinking that she, a trained educator, should have had the skills to deal with it.
Anyway... My mother is crazy. And I have to find a way to deal with it and not lose my mind and myself in the process.
Peace

Blog Philosophy
I meditate most mornings. My meditation includes physical activity and 120. While focusing on the degrees a blog idea came to the forefront of my thoughts. That's usually how it works. The idea was to do some housekeeping and set some ground rules for this blog.
I blog a lot. I have 7 blogs out in the blogosphere. I have 4 right here. I have had this particula series of blogs for 2 years. I have never needed to formally post any ground rules. I believe that people have an innate sense of propriety. But that innate unconscious sense can be manipulated because it is unconscious.
I'm only posting this philosophy on this blog because this is the parent blog to all the blogs in blogspot.
So here goes....
I. This is my blog. That means this blog is attached to Serenity Love Sincere Peace Earth's email address and password. Therefore I will make the determination of content in any of my bogs.
II. I will not debate people in the comment section of my blog. Everyone is welcome to comment. But If I find the content of your comments inflammatory or incendiary, I will delete it. You know why? Refer to I. If you want to discus anything I have said in debate form, email me. You can hit me at facebook. I have not blocked my page there and you don't have to friend me to leave a message. Same with myspace. Like I said a lot of people already know and do this, but it bares repeating.
III. This is the most important rule.... Pay very close attention.... If you don't like my blog.... it's content, it's layout, music, anything.... Then don't read it!
I blog because it's cathartic. I don't blog to make friends and be popular. I have friends and I'm beyond needing the validation of popularity.
It's a shame it has to come to this. It's Leviticus all over again.
Peace

I Wonder.....
There are some Somalians who work the parking deck at my job. My mother told me that it doesn't cost a thing to speak to people and that there are no invisible people in this world and I ought to be cordial to everyone.
Every morning I pass like maybe 5 of them standing outside. I used to speak to them. I say 'used' to because I no longer speak to them because they never spoke back. They don't smile they don't even move out of the way. I have hit a few of them before because they will stand in the walkway in bulk and no move when they see me coming. I ain't stepping in the street because they won't move. But I have witnessed them move for men, black and white.
Did you wonder how I knew they were Somalian? There is a woman who works in the parking booth who told me that they were Somalian. When I speak to her, she speaks back. She told me their ethnicity. She also told me to not be too concerned about their rudeness its just how they are. How they are? They aren't used to the way women exist in this country. And they weren't socialized to interact with women. So how can they be valet parkers? They interact with women all day long.
But the big question for me is..... I wonder what women in other countries think of themselves when their men don't think highly of Women?

True and Living Earth
Peace Y'all,
You know, it has come to my attention that I am not a "traditional" or "conventional" Earth. Hmmmm.... Who knew?
Why do I say this? Because it's true. And I have noticed that I get a high level of suspicion for other righteous people. And I have always wondered why it is like that. Some friends cleared it up for me this weekend. Notice I said friends and not righteous people.
There are loads of people who have accurate information regarding our culture who aren't necessarily a part of our culture. Living in Georgia for so long I had forgotten that. I'm originally from NJ and I knew about this culture before I added on. Most of my NJ friends don't need the orientation I give GA people when I speak with them. All of them know G's and E's. A few of them were once G's and E's. I found out that my own brother flirted with this nation 20 years ago. These people can offer a unique perspective on this Culture since they are half in, half out, if you can recognize the best part. So here Goes...
I have no children. I know babies are the greatest. But I don't have any. Some would argue that I am not a true Earth without them. I would disagree. I'm not getting into why I don't have children. I have alluded to it in previous blogs. But I am not going to allow that fact keep me from professing and living out my "Earthdom". Just because someone has children does not mean that they are not savages.
A lot of Earth behaviours, I had before I began adding on with this Nation. I swore off meat 10 years ago. I stopped perming my hair around the same time. I stopped wearing pants 5 years ago. I had already read many of T.H.E.M.'s books, along with several conscious books that G's and E's advocate. I was already "conscious" and had been so for a minute. My parents were relatively conscious for being born when they were. My mother was a librarian and brought me any book that I asked her to bring. And when I gave it back to her, I had to demonstrate my comprehension of said books or I'd have to read them again. She would bring me books that she thought I should read with the same rules applied to it. I didn't need this Nation to prompt me to do the Knowledge on myself and original people.
I have a square job. For real. Not a hustle, not off the grid. I am a tax payer with no police record. I have 2 educational degrees. I'm even in a sorority and my parents were/are masons. I'd say I'm a productive member of society. I follow the rules and I vote at every election. All BEFORE I began to add on productively with this Nation.
I make a lot of my own clothes. And I always have. My sewing machine is 26 years old. The clothes I choose to make are not African inspired clothing. They are actually modest versions of everyday clothing. I love Vogue magazine and rely on it for inspiration. Apparently that's un-Earth-like. Folks praise Earths that rock heavy print and Marge Simpson sized headwraps. That's not always me. I like to look good yet ordinary. I tell people who have known me for years that I don't wear pants, at first they seem surprised then they think about it and go. "You sure don't wear pants, do you!" Now am I blending in on purpose? I suppose. I wear the clothes I like, and it just so happens that what I like is Ordinary. So what?
Do I feel like I need to be like the other Earths I come in contact with? Emphatically No! I have worked years to become comfortable with who I am and how I do. I ain't about to let other folks ruin that for me. Especially when I am suspicious about their motivation. This ain't a religion. We don't have to all look alike. But more and more I see that people want us to conform to images and roles that have been traditional in the history of this Nation.
I'm not about to do that!
The issue is this... Why is there only one way to be an Earth? It's the old argument of there is more than one way to be Black. I grow tired of hearing our people say, "Black people don't do that!" What they are really saying is I don't do things that way, nor do I know people who do things that way. Do you know all Black people? I feel like Original people, especially in this country, limit themselves too much. We place ourselves in narrowly prescribed boxes so we can quickly and easily point the finger at folks. Telling them wheter their behavior is right or wrong. That is wrong! Folks get to be themselves and there is nothing wrong with pushing outside the grid.
I'm not a true and living Earth? Show and prove, dammit!
Peace
