The Foundation and Character

Peace, feels good to be back on the scene. Willfully remain steadfast to writing. My computer went down, and the economic side of me said "I grew up without a computer, I can do without". I have definitely learned how to divest myself of many superfluities of life. However, the time was well spent; reading, studying, writing...etc. Basically, "steady building and manifesting" (this is my new slogan by the way). These are qualities that I don't see too many people carrying out; and I'm not just talking about Gods and Earths. I'm talking about society, but one who is a person of that said ability should definitely reflect such traits or qualities. Their core values of what possibly MAY be the 1st thing you learned upon gaining Knowledge of Self; Allah's Supreme Mathematics.

Although, Supreme Mathematics was not the very 1st thing I studied upon these rites; it wasn't very far behind the fast, "What do we teach" and the 14th-16th/1-40. Yeah, I had to clean myself up, know exactly what I was getting myself into and show myself being worthy. Some say "Worthy?". Yes, worthy! Show and Prove to the God, I wasn't there to waste his time or mine.

The Supreme Mathematics are basic principles underlying all of creation. Principles being defined as 1. rule of conduct or action 2. fundamental truth or cause. Everything in Allah's world is manifest through the process of 1-9 or Knowledge to Born, to be complete or 0/Cipher.

I'm simply mentioning these primary & fundamental, yet very important characteristics because many forget time and time again. Not so much verbatim Knowledge, Wisdom...etc, or 1-9 but the core definitions or traits of each. Each principle carries a trait, when and only when you live and carry out such traits and characteristics are you living Allah's Supreme Mathematics.

Point is, there are many who can carry themselves well by living out Allah's Supreme Mathematics and carry an attracting power. I'm talking about the positive attraction of an individual, where just their presence speaks volumes and I'm not just talking about when among the Gods and Earths. What kind of power do you carry Positive or Negative? If your only welcome is among the peanut gallery...it shows and proves your limit of attraction.

Reality Check

Peace,
This is one of those blogs I guess you'll be able to call "out there on the ledge". As time progresses, and knowledge expands or increases among the "True & Living", Gods are becoming "Radicalized". Truth is, time changes and change come with time. Even the Father (Father Allah/Clarence 13X/Clarence Smith) would have admitted to change, perhaps a Revolution. Truth be told, {if/when/or} you {came/come} into the KOS (Knowledge of Self) you come to a change "in" self; an internalized Revolution. However, it's the externalized revolution that at times has caused issues within the NGE, or between Members. We're dealing with a Free-Cipher. I can say at times for all; emotions, stupidity and foolishness have superseded basic self morals & knowledge of even the best of us. However, that is not an excuse to cover-up our wrongs by saying their rights. Or by saying "do as I say, not as i do".

What makes the so-called Righteous, righteous? It's a question and a serious one that I think only the Righteous can answer. Don't get me wrong, "do as I say, not as I do" is great for those who can "preserve the best part". But, for the 85% of the people who can't, what do we do? To quote Bill Cosby "A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid one's that need advice". 18/1-40 "The duty of a civilized person is to teach he who is savage". The best teachers, enlighteners, parents, uncles, aunts...etc; lead by example and talk with their actions.

The Tao of Wu, a book review.

Peace,
I must admit, I was quite surprised by the latest works from the RZA; The Tao of Wu. This is the second book from the world famous actor, producer, martial artist, God, rapper and many more titles. I mean, no frontin, you must admit the RZA has dropped some of the deepest and jewel filled lyrics you've heard; well at least that I've heard. This book gives you an inside look at how life and his studies reflect in his works. The way he ties everything together to his "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is remarkable.

This book does not over indulge in his music career, but more of an insight to martial arts, chess, music, Taoism, Buddhism, and the Knowledge of Self. The best part of this book is that he ties all of them in to one, the application of the Knowledge of Self. That's truly what the Knowledge of One's self is, the application of it to everything you deal with. He even created his own spiritual code called The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. But, it doesn't stop there. It's definitely a book I suggest you pick it up for yourself.

Grab a copy. The book held my attention for 3 days as I read through the 208 page book. I found his words to be fruitful and filled with genuine words. There was a mis-quote to the 5/1-40 along the earlier part of the book. I mean, I don't see anyone using the RZA's works for a geography paper and can probably be easily overlooked and by 85% of people or more. The book may not go down in His-story as a classic, but shows to me to be possibly inspirational to Teenagers and adults alike.

The beautiful part to understanding is that it's yours or mine. It may or may not show & prove to be right and exact in each others ciphers, because the puzzle pieces from your X-men puzzle don't go to my Batman puzzle. But may prove to be inspirational.

So, I'm on to read Tales of an Urban Sufi, by Saladin Q. Allah (Happy Born Day). Not only is he an author, but a mentor, music artist, producer and one I consider a friend. Doesn't look to be your typical front to back cover kind of book. A collections of thoughts, quotes and stories/essays from the God. Soon to find out, I guess.

(This is my 1st blog from my Blackberry since my computer crashed. And this actually has me feeling like I have a case of ADHD, so the above didn't quite get as much work into it as I planned, lol)

Season of Knowledge of Self

Peace, how have my few but much appreciated readers been? The hustles and changes of life have just prevented me from blogging.

What is the Season of "Knowledge of Self"? Well, it seems to be this time in my life after 12 years that there has been this flow of people in search of a better life, through this culture. Not only new heads, but brotha's I've dealt with who have disappeared off the know-ledge. It's quite a beautiful thing.

So, what has attributed to this season? It's the blogger's, U-N-I, and those using the methods to reach the masses. God's like Emblem, Saladin, Sha-King, Divine 39A, CB'S, Khalik, Lord Born Justice and those are just to name a few that I enjoy. These Gods have produced books, blogs and Youtube videos.

I had a young God from Buffalo, NY who contacted me after reading The 5%ers: Islam, Hip-hip and the Gods of New York, by Micheal Muhammad Knight. The funny thing about that book, is that there's actually apart of that book that took place at my house. That night the God's from Buffalo sat with Azreal & Knight at my rest building before continuing their travels on to Milwaukee the Cream City. Azreal (the first "white" 5%er) and Knight (author)stayed late into the evening. Azreal basically spoke of the past; mainly his encounters and time spent with Father Allah. Knight, took notes on the builds for what would later become his works on the Nation of Gods & Earths, formally known as the 5% Nation. It was an interesting evening for what it was worth. So, this young God found an interest based off what Knight expressed in his book. Now, I've seen many arguments on Knight's book especially around the time it came out. Someone even leaked to me via e-mail. But, that's not what blog is about.

We as nation have been taking hold of free ways or "freeways" to reach the masses. However, a word of CAUTION to those newbies to the nation or those seeking assistance in obtaining Knowledge of Self. Take nothing on face value, especially when dealing with the "Inter-net Knowledge" & "Inter-net Gods & Earths". That goes for my blog too. I always tell those in search of K.O.S., "no matter how much you pay for a book, you can never pay for an understanding". Do the Knowledge.

Peace

Free Leonard Peltier

~*~Open Letter to President Obama on Leonard Peltier~*~

Dear President Obama,
On behalf of myself, friends, family and literally millions of people all across the United States and the world, I am writing you today concerning an urgent and heartfelt request: to consider the case of Leonard Peltier. For thirty-three years Mr. Peltier has been incarcerated in various American prisons for a crime that there is ample evidence to substantiate he did not commit. For thirty-three years Mr. Peltier, his lawyers and supporters have appealed to the powers that be in Washington to re-open, to re-try the case of the U.S. vs. Leonard Peltier. For thirty-three years these pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Now, at age 64, Leonard Peltier is approaching the end of his life and is in poor health, and those of us who are interested in Native American issues of social justice are trying one last time, when hope has returned to the American spirit and we have a president who espouses transparency and equanimity of policy and practice, to appeal to your sense of compassion and justice in a case that for many represents an opportunity to finally bridge the gap of broken treaties and broken trust between the First Nation peoples of this country and their government. We truly hope that with your new administration and its progressively positive attitudes of equal rights for all peoples, races, religions and economic status, that a time of reconciliation has finally arrived and some of the injustices of the past can be put right, with critical bridges crossed and war wounds healed.
Rather than laying out the long history of the case of the U.S. vs. Leonard Peltier, I prefer to point you in the direction of Mr. Peltier’s book My Life Is My Sun Dance, a book he has written that was published in 1999 to universal acclaim and rave reviews (see enclosure), and which I had the great honor to edit. This book contains his full account of the events surrounding his arrest, his trial, his incarceration and the more than twenty-three years that followed. Also, you might want to consult your colleagues Senator Inouye and Gov. Bill Richardson on this case, as they are familiar with it and are supporters of the world-wide movement to reconsider, re-try and release Leonard Peltier from his incarceration as a political prisoner, wrongly convicted.

To this end I would like to ask of you a favor by granting an audience to Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th-Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Pipe of the Great Lakota Nation, and myself, that we may deliver a message to you on behalf of all those concerned people around the world who have worked--by marching in protest, by contacting their representatives in government, by signing petitions, by writing letters, by working for his legal defense--so hard for Mr. Peltier’s freedom. We would be happy to meet with you, Vice President Biden, Sec. Hillary Clinton, Gov. Bill Richardson, Sen. Inouye, Jodi Archambault Gillette from the Office of Inter-governmental Affairs and anyone else you feel would appropriately need to be involved in such a meeting and any discussions that might occur to shed a brighter light on this matter. Such a meeting, we believe, would not only be a true sign of your willingness to begin a dialogue with Native peoples on issues of overlooked urgency and importance, but would go a long way, in good faith, to showing us that Democracy and Justice still have a meaning in America.

Mr. President, it is with great hope and great expectations that my colleagues and I await your word in response to this letter of inquiry and appeal. Not only does the future of Leonard Peltier depend upon it, but also our hopes for a greater nation where there is truly liberty and justice for all peoples, including First Nation peoples.
Respectfully yours,

Harvey Arden

Gimme a Break

Peace, as you may or may not know I was on a two week vacation. Schools were closed so I was home. Now I didn't go anywhere OT, but it felt great to be home with family. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. So, it's back to the grind today, Monday April 20, 2009.
