REASON For This Book

The Human Education Against Lies (H.E.A.L.) movement, is a self-construction movement designed to rescue humanity from the most lethal disease facing it: Common Sense Deficiency Syndrome (CSDS).

CSDS is the root of most of the world's social problems. AIDS (Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), crack addiction, racism, sexism, environmental terrorism, "pimp-ism", and imperialism are all encouraged and supported by CSDS. In fact, these anti-Human systems are symptoms of CSDS. Organized lying is the virulent base of CSDS and leads to the deceiving of the People causing the People to act insane to their Humanity.

Since the principal carriers of CSDS are the education, religious, and political systems, they are shaking in their boots at the possibility of being rocked by the H.E.A.L. movement. They are correct to be afraid because the H.E.A.L. movement plans to modify these institutions of lying.

The H.E.A.L. movement is currently coordinated by me, Zizwe Mtafuta-Ukweli (translation: one born in a foreign land searching for the truth) and KRS-ONE. H.E.A.L.'s first move was to launch an airwaves and literary offensive against lies unmatched by any other offensive in recent history. The first project of the H.E.A.L. movement was the production of a collaborative video and album by artists dedicated to the destruction of CSDS. These artists include: Kid Capri, Big Daddy Kane, L.L. Cool J, Freddie Fox, Harmony, M.C. Lyte, Queen Latifa, Ms. Melodie, Jam Master Jay, DMC, D-Nice, Chuck-D, Jonathan Demme, Ted Demme, Fab 5 Freddie, Pam Jenkins, Billy Bragg, Michael Stipes, Ziggy Marley, Simone, Ready Z and KRS-ONE.

Proceeds from that project financed the more important project of distributing millions of free books to the youth worldwide. These books expose and examine some of the most blatant lies forced down the throats of Humanity.

This first book, "Civilization Versus Technology", uncovers the most viscious lies put forth by the education and religious systems and replaces them with obvious common sense truths. Contributors to this book are: KRS-ONE, Simone, and Ready Z.

Objectives of H.E.A.L.:

  1. Heal the minds of the People especially youth by providing true facts.
  2. Help build reasoning skills needed for human behavior rather than focusing on the sleep techniques of memorization.

Human Education Against Lies (H.E.A.L.) is a not for profit corporation and organization that promotes Human respect amongst Humanity by providing knowledge about Humanity.

The statement for 1992 is,

"Before you are
a race, a religion,
or an occupation
you are a Human.
HEAL YOURSELF!"

PART I: MODIFYING THE EDUCATION IN AMERICA

Before you are a race, religion or occupation you are a human being, the greatest of all animals. The dumbest, most ignorant thing said, is, 'I'm only human.' Statements like these, demean, lessen and cut down the true existence of being human.

Now, if you wish to exist as a cat or a dog or a goat or any other animal other than human, this book isn't for you. But, if you are constantly going to take pride in calling yourself a human being, then you should act accordingly.

The barbaric educational system teaches anti-humanism; they'll make you believe that you can have human rights without human duties. There are actually things that the human being must do in order to manifest as human. One of those things is thinking.

The human being must think in order to survive. We can't breathe under water, we can't fly, nor can we run fast, so we've got to think in order to survive. When you tamper with a bird's wings you mess up its daily life, likewise for the human; when you tamper with a human's mind you mess up its daily life. The barbaric educational system, tampers with the process of thinking with labels, symbols, letters, numbers and accumulated lies. So humanism is never achieved, because the human being must think to survive.

Example, when you go to school, they give the answer to all your questions. Two or three months later they test you on if you remember the answer or not; this is not thinking, this is memorizing. And when you go through your entire life using memory and not intellect, any problem that you're confronted with that you don't remember how to deal with, you can't deal with. Mainly because you don't remember how to deal with it. Ultimately you become trapped, you can't move because you don't remember how to move. The barbaric educational system is based on memorizing lies.

One of the first signs of intelligence in any human is asking questions, then debating answers. But if you never get to ask a question, how can you debate any answer. Some people might say in school, "Yeah you can ask questions in school," wrong, you only ask about what you can remember to ask about. The entire system is based on memory, not intellect.

For example, everyone knows Christopher Columbus did not discover America, he killed and robbed and destroyed the indigenous populations or the Indians of America. But to pass your class, you'll put down on paper, Christopher Columbus discovered America, knowing this is a lie. It seems as though the grade of A+, B or C is greater in significance than actually having the facts.

This is barbaric and backwards. If your teacher was to ask you, 'What is American history?' And you told the teacher kidnap, murder and theft, in addition to some other good things, you would fail your class even though it's the truth. Ultimately this is a crime.

When birds can't fly, fish can't swim, and human's can't think, we've been tricked and blind-folded to our own human consciousness. We have been tricked into the consciousness of "me, myself and I," and "it's all about me."

These statements are self-destructive because humans can only progress around other humans in a human environment. The anti-human is headed for self-destruction while the human being is headed for self-construction.

There can be individual groups of human beings but anti-humans are groups of individuals. The true manifestation of the human being is to serve humanity. The true manifestation of the anti-human is humanity serving one human.

The human being gets worked on in three ways; politically, educationally and religiously. Keep in mind, the religious system and the educational system come out of the political system. First they take your land, then they take your mind, then they take your soul and the human being is made a slave.

People with Ph.D.s, Psychological Human Disorders, usually administer what we have coined as CSDS, Common Sense Deficiency Syndrome. All of humanity is afflicted with this illness. Before any illness, CSDS is the first illness.

Before you contract any disease, first you lose your common sense. Before you wrap your lips around the crack pipe, first you lose your common sense. CSDS blocks our rational thinking and has you thinking in an irrational way, due to a lack of common sense.

Without common sense, correct thinking is impossible. And when correct thinking turns into incorrect thinking, what follows is incorrect anti-human beast-like actions.

No one in school is studying intellectualism (the science of Human intellect). As we pointed out, school is a system of memory, the question is where did such a system come from and why?

If you don't know the history of the author of a book, you don't know the book. You're only reading 50% of the book when you don't have the history of the author.

For example, I could be an author that is also a murderer of white women but if I never told you in my book, you would never know. The question is, what if I wrote the Bible and you're living my laws because I told you I was inspired by God - or - what if I was a racist and hated most races especially the African race, at the same time I was an archaeologist looking for the original man. If I'm a racist, I'll never look in Africa for the original man because I don't respect African people. I'm going to look in Europe and Australia and teach the world scientifically that the European is the original man, especially if I'm European. This egotistically makes me the superior man. If your teacher is a murderer, you'll learn to be one too.


The school system teaches kids how to steal, murder and hate one another and the school yards are the practice grounds for these thoughts. The individual actions of principals, teachers, deans, etc., is unimportant when compared to the educational system as a whole. The educational system of learning is old, it does not satisfy the human consciousness of this day and age.

Let's look at the English language. The nature of the English language is theft. It's a language that steals from other languages to create its own language and style, any English teacher should know that!

English, mathematics, science, art, history, etc., etc., including lunch has been stolen. If you notice, when thieves steal things like computers but fail to study computer science, all they can do is maybe punch up their names, turn it on, or turn it off. They'll never get the full benefit from that computer, because they didn't have knowledge of what they stole.

The same formula applies with the history of the educational system. Most of the subjects we study have been stolen from Africa and Asia and other parts of the world. The thieves are teaching you their own ignorance. (For more information on who stole from who, check out Stolen Legacy by George M. James.)

The dumbest public argument was the whole censorship issue in 1990. Everyone asked all types of questions like, "Why are you so explicit? What is art? What is obscenity? Etc., etc., etc., there is too much violence in movies and this and that and the other." No one asked the question, "Who taught the masses to respect sex and violence?"

Women go to rock concerts in the thousands to be called bitches, sluts, hoes. They'll even buy recordings of the artist of their choice, and be called bitches in the privacy of there own home. They've been taught to feel like bitches, but they don't actually want to be bitches. So their idea of letting go at the end of a day is being called "BITCH!" at a very high volume. They know they're not bitches, but for a $20 concert ticket they'll put away their common sense and allow themselves to morally, subconsciously and in most cases, physically screwed on stage and off. This is CSDS!

Who taught the masses of the people that watching other people die is entertainment or that feeling terrified in front of a screen is a nice way to spend the evening with a loved one. First, we must cure the common sense so that we can have intellect and not only memory.

Memory is a good tool of the intellect and intellect is a good tool of common sense. If our recording artists are explicit, someone had to teach them how to be explicit. Being obscene or explicit isn't something like sight or hearing. It isn't something you were born with.

You must be introduced to obscenity to even know it exists. Then you must be taught obscenity. Then obscenity must be put into practice. The same concept applies to being racist.

For example, you can have a European two year old, an Asian two year old, an African two year old and an Indian two year old all playing in a room filled with toys. Let's say the Asian child's mother comes in the room and says, "O.K. Bobby it's time to leave." He'll fight his mother to continue playing with his African, European and Indian friends.

What happens when you go to school is you are stripped of your common sense. Without common sense they can tell you Jesus was white and you'll agree. It doesn't matter what color Jesus was until you change the color. When you do things like this you kill humanity and any hope for civilization.

For any group of people to progress they must be in touch with the teachings of their ancestors. If all you see is your ancestors in chains as slaves, you'll follow that pattern of slavery subconsciously. When a race of people can't refer to the wisdom of their ancestors they repeat the same mistakes, thus hindering any progress for civilization. We must have history to move forward.

Many of us have been tricked into believing that we are living in a civilization as civilized human beings. Wrong!

Civilization hasn't even begun yet. Civilization is an advanced stage in social development. Technology, is the science of mechanical and industrial arts, it is not civilization.

Just because we have fast cars, boats, planes, we could go to the moon, we have medicine, this does not make us civilized. Being civilized implies being human. The true purpose of the human is to serve humanity. If you are not working for the advancement of humanity, you are anti-human.

Educational systems that administer false history and psychologically degrading history, are teaching anti-humanism. These systems must be modified.

PART II: THE SOLUTION TO THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

That's the solution? Many people might think, jokingly, that Kris Parker's solution to the educational system is to wire each building up state by state, city by city, wire them up with high powered explosives on down to one radio programmed button, and stand somewhere far off and press the button, several times.

Fortunately, I am a civilized individual. I found out a way in which we can permanently do away with ignorance once and for all. But the revolution is not about us running down the street shooting at the enemy, or shooting at who we think is the enemy.

Remember, we are all afflicted with CSDS. Keep in mind, when you wish to change anything, the revolution starts in the mind. Change the way you think and you will change the environment around you. It is that simple. Look in the mirror and change what you see there, first before anything else.

But, to all teachers, principals and deans, I urge you all to analyze your tired, boring techniques of teaching and learning and develop a more modernized system; not for my own self-gratification but to save your own life from your own students. Nothing I say in these writings are lies. Nothing I say in these writings are irrational. You have lost control of your students due to an outdated educational system. Students of all grades are very advanced because they live in a very advanced environment. Why hasn't the educational system advanced with them?

Adding computers and younger teachers to the classroom, isn't advancement. Advancement for humans is learning the techniques for advancing humanity. The educational system presently teaches students how to be American, not Human.

Understand this point, before you are a race, a religion or an occupation, you are a human being. This should be the first lesson studied in all classrooms or, there should be a course from kindergarten on up to college on humanism. One of your subjects should be humanism, if you are a human being and must exist amongst other human beings.

But in order to solve the problem of the educational system, we must dig up the roots of the educational system and its roots lie in slavery. Slavery is only half abolished. Most slaves couldn't read or write or count. They were property of those who could read, write and count. Ultimately, being educated and being free from bondage is the end of slavery.

As long as you aren't educated, you still have half the characteristics of a slave. A slave, knew only a little of his culture. How much more of our culture do we know today?

Sportspersons, recording artists., etc., are forms of slaves; you are owned, bought and sold, simple. Men with votes and no education are still slaves.

How can you abolish an act without improving or correcting the wrong done by the act? That's like saying we have a cure for the disease, so the disease is abolished, but all the people that have been affected by the disease won't get the cure. They'll be told of the cure.

That's what the Emancipation Proclamation was. They ended the physical concept of slavery, but not the psychological or physical concept of the slave.

This is the root in dealing with the edcuational system. We must understand where such a system came from. And we must understand who benefits from the system or who has been benefiting from the system and who has not been benefiting from the system. If two men start on a race, but one is a mile ahead of the other one, of course they will not end up at the finish line together. This is the problem, with education in America.


We shall now begin to correct certain history you've been taught, just this brief bit of history, the part about the slave being free. There is no such thing as freedom for a slave.

The Emancipation Proclamation declared that on January 1, 1863, "All persons held as slaves within a state or part of state in armed rebellion were declared free." So when the war ended in 1865, America had no businesses, no way to make money, because before the war cotton and other plantation products were the main base of its technology. When the Civil War broke out, money was made on war. When the war was over, America's economy was lost. White men were starving. So a million and a half slaves went back into slavery due to America's economy and the miseducation of the slave.

Again, Lincoln never freed anyone. Let me say that again, Lincoln never freed anyone because of one simple fact: how can you free a slave?

Lincoln clearly said, "I freed the slaves." How can you free a slave? Lincoln did not go to a land called "Slaves" and get slaves. Lincoln and some of his ancestors went to Africa and got Africans. The contract should read, "I now free the African man and woman all over the nation" It did not read this, it said, "I free the slave" which means, "I see you as a slave so you'll always be a slave, and I free you as a slave."

Slave! The only reason why we are not whipped and forced to work for nothing now is because of technology. Technology advanced as so did the job of the slave. But the educational system fails to realize or refuses to realize that if you do not teach a man or woman their culture, they are insane to themselves. And when they become insane to themselves, obviously, they are crazy, and their actions seem just. They act insane to their own humanity, they do not know themselves.

We need to teach people their culture, get people back on their track. Get Africans, Europeans, Asians and Americans (this means the people that are indigenous to America) back on track. Everyone needs to know African history because African history is the world's history. Everyone needs to know European history, everyone needs to know Asian history and real American history in order for everyone to understand everyone.

Lincoln did not free the slaves. Lincoln tried to end the physical concept of slavery, but the psychological concept of the slave was never freed. The psychological concept of the slave is that the slave could not read, the slave could not write, the slave could not count. Therefore, the slave did not know his culture.

How much more of our culture do we know today? We don't even speak our own language. We don't even wear our own clothes. We don't even wear our hair the same way we used to wear our hair. We are not ourselves anymore, due to our education.

The education in America must be modified. And in order to modify the education in America, we must know the truth about slavery. We must know the truth about the effects of slavery because we are reaping those effects right now, in this century, in this decade, in this month, in this day. Keep in mind, there were whites that did not have slaves but believed in slavery or there were whites that didn't have slaves but believed that slavery was justified according to their Herronvoke democracy theory, which was the belief in equal superiority of all who believed in the Herronvoke, the master race.

The Herronvolke (German word for: master race) concept had power appeal in both the North and the South. William L. Yancy, a Southern rights champion states, "Your fathers and my fathers built this government on two ideas. The first is that the White race is the citizen and the master race and the White man is equal to every other white man. The second is that the Negro is the inferior race.

The Declaration of Independence, in this interpretation, affirms that all White men were created equal. The man who wrote that declaration was a slave holder, President Andrew Jackson. And the Jacksonian democrats aggressively championed White Supremacy.

Their Herronvolke ideology helped attract Irish and unskilled workers in the North to the Democratic Party, for it proclaimed, "No matter how poor you might be, you are still better than Blacks." Just like the southern slave holders, they feared the Emancipation Proclamation because it would render their whiteness, meaningless.

Governor Wise of Virginia said, "Break down slavery and you would with the same blow destroy the democratic principal of equality amongst men." The South was for slavery because of economics and the North was for White supremacy. Both hated the African.

The South was known to be more paranoid of Black people because of the revolts of Nat Turner.

Lincoln made it clear on July 4, 1861, that he had no purpose directly or indirectly to interfere with slavery. That war was fought to uphold the constitution that protected slavery. The Union fought for the constitution not for the freedom of the African. On August 22, 1862, Lincoln said, "My paramount objective in this struggle is to save the Union and is not eager to save or destroy slavery. If I can save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do that. And if I could save it by freeing all of the slaves, I would do that," and it goes on. So the war turned into a fight for freedom to save the Union or the Constitution.

This is the ultimate form of ignorance. This is what the educational system has been built on. This ideology and this concept is what we are experiencing right now in 1992. But sadly enough, even the principals, deans, students, and teachers of all grades and all colors and all creeds have not realized this because it was even hidden from them.

The educational system must be modified. The educational system must be uprooted and it must be redone. We are living in a very advanced age and the educational system has not advanced with the age. The educational system presently needs to be modified. This is the only solution to the educational system on a whole. You must understand where it came from, how it was put into place and who taught who what.

PART III: WHERE IS GOD?

When you ask the question, "Where is God?" all sorts of opinions and answers start coming from, in most cases, the most ignorant of religious leaders.

They begin pointing to the sky, pointing to the church, pointing to the bible, in some cases pointing to themselves and not you.

Sure, because you are born a sinner. You must spend your entire life looking for a God that has judgement in one hand and love in another. And if you don't serve him correctly, you can look forward to going to hell for eternity. Wake up, this is the ul timate form of CSDS.

When you can be conditioned to believe that there are some people who are closer to God than other people and that the church is the most sacred place for God, ultimately you've been tricked into giving up your soul to be down with a specific click of hypocrites. Let us do away with all the lies and confusing terminologies and get right down to business.

Number one, the creator of the universe is alive and conscious and manifests itself in all that has life.

Number two, all manuscripts, books, scrolls, and letters are all dead, including the Bible. These things do not have life nor can they be given life.

Number three, God does not live in the Bible, Koran, Bhagavad-Gita or Tora. God lives within the hearts and minds of every living creature.

Number four, God is life. God is Love.

If you wish to respect God, respect life, all life. If you wish to love God, love life. Protect and uplift life through your service to humanity. No religion is greater than the creator of the universe that lives within you. No religion is perfect. And most religions are hand in hand with governments and money lenders. Not even to say that this is wrong but they say this is wrong then they take part in what they even say is wrong.

It's very funny to look at a religion like Christianity and see the religious leaders of the Christian faith, so involved in politics while Jesus, their savior, was killed by politicians. Christians fail to realize that Jesus was a revolutionary that hung out with criminals and diseased people, trying to educate them on a better way of life. He spoke out against government and was killed, simple.

Remember, the truth is always short and to the point. Truth can come out of anyone's mouth, at anytime and always sounds the same. It's the lies that always come thick and with alot of explanation.

Jesus, the revolutionary, gave only two laws in his lifetime. Love your brother as you love yourself and love the creator as you love yourself. Yet these are the hardest laws for people to observe.

The Bible is dead. God is alive. When you wish to find God, put down the Bible and go in a quiet room, by yourself and meditate on self. No written document is closer to you than the creator that lives within you. When you find the God that lives w ithin you, you'll begin to see God within all living creatures.

The barbaric religious leaders would rather you believe in everyone and everything else before actually believing in yourself. So you burn candles, (don't forget, get a receipt), pray out loud and confess your sins to a self appointed God representati ve. This is all backwards! Remember, prayer is a silent thing because the creator of the universe is silent. God listens to your thoughts and emotions not your physical actions.

Boring outdated church sermons are forcing people farther and farther away from God.

The Bible is a good novel and, in some cases, a good newspaper. That's it though. Adding power to the Bible mentally, and spiritually, however, is not how you find God. God isn't even God's name.

The creator of the universe manifests itself in all cultures, names, symbols, prophets, masters and messiahs. The idea of any one religion being the greatest religion and the only true way to God is nothing more than a bullshit and wasteful concept pu t forth by people that know nothing of God.

The system must be modified. We must be in touch with the universe and our own growth because we are a product of the universe. Only the barbarians wish to keep people asleep for the sake of money and power and world dominion, thus the religious system.


Again, I point out, if you do not know the history of the author of a book you do not know much about the book you are reading. This is a very important fact when reading the Bible.

One of the most read versions of the Bible is the King James version. How much histroy do you know of King James. We are studying this book blindly. We are studying all bibles blindly not realizing that the creator of the universe lives within the hearts and souls of all living creatures. We cannot see that.

We have to pick up a bible. We must go to church. These are backwards, old techniques of finding the creator of the universe. The educational system should also add, just a little bit of how to find God, how to see God in your daily life.

If you are a human being these things are essential. If you do not have them, you are headed for self-destruction. The system must be modified.

This idea about God being some mysterious spiritual entity is old. We must learn how to think in order to survive. There is nothing mysterious about the creator of the universe or the sciences that go along with that. Nothing mysterious about the truth. It is the lies that are mysterious. It is the lies that come to you in mystery and in big thick books that you can't understand; lies that come to you in language that you cannot understand.

If the Bible was written by African people in African language, and it was, why then, does the Bible read, 'thou, thy, thou shalt not, this'll, yay, ye'? This is English text. The original Bible was written in Hebrew and Arabic. Why is it now being translated into English? Why can't you just simply learn Arabic and/or Hebrew?

We don't question these things because we probably think to ourselves, 'Learning Hebrew is too painstaking or learning Arabic is too painstaking.'

The point is this, if you were taught Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Japanese, etc., etc., from the time you were born you would simply know it and you would simply live with it in your everyday situations. But because we are so separated and because the line is drawn based on our cultures we cannot come together and we cannot see one another, everything and everyone's culture becomes a mystery. God is no mystery. God is the truth. Life is no mystery. Life is happiness and love. We must understand these concepts.

Here is a solution which will sum up every religion on this planet. Anything you want, anything you need, everything is first an idea because ideas are basic to being human. This is true because ideas are necessary for common communication and common sense. As a matter of fact, words are just ideas with clothes on.

When you think, your thoughts become tangible realities. Everything you think, is a reality that exist or is coming into existence. Do not think that when you think you're just thinking haphazardly. The power of thought is very, very, very powerful. We need to understand and harness the power of correct thinking.

What you think comes back to you multiplied, therefore, you should think correct thoughts constantly. If you are thinking negative, evil, hateful thoughts these things shall return to you in negative, evil, hateful, manifestations.

You should think in terms of upliftment and love for humanity, love for life itself, therefore these rewards shall return themselves to you. We need to understand the process of thinking. Thinking is our wings. Thinking is how we swim. Thinking is how we walk. We have not understood nor used 100% our own minds. Let's look at this.

From birth to five years old, it is said that you do most of your learning. Why? Because at five years old you start school. At this point you have learned to use only 5% of your brain, then you go to the educational system. Therefore, at five years old your thinking is arrested for working. You are then sentenced to 12 to 20 years of sleep techniques.

Understand, for any man or woman to progress in a society, they must think from a spiritual aspect. Your thoughts are things. When you think, these things come outward from your mind into your environment and your environment thus reacts upon you, making you move, stop, sleep, fall, live, die, walk or stand. Your thoughts turn into your environment, if you wish to change your environment change the way you are thinking.

Do not run away from the environment because you will only create the same environment if you are thinking the same. Correct your thoughts and your environment shall change around you. How do you do this, very simple.

Every morning when you wake up, look in the mirror, and say, "I love what I see. What I see shall uplift humanity and what I see shall uplift life wherever it might be." Understand this concept. This is not a passive concept of 'Please stop killing, please stop the violence, please, please, please.' We are not begging for anything.

As we constantly outline, there are two types of people; there is one type that wants the violence to stop and they'll wait for the violence to stop, and there is the other type that wants to stop the violence, by any means necessary. There are only two types of people in the world and these are the two types there are. Now of course there is the neutral one who gets disrespected by both sides.

Many people believe that if you believe in God, you cannot be violent. There is no such thing as violence versus non-violence in the scheme of truth.

There is no such thing as good or bad in the scheme of truth. God is. Only universal law applies to the human being. God is not worried about whether you are good or bad, whether you go to heaven or to hell. No one will ever go to hell. Everyone goes to heaven. Why do I say this? Because you're in hell now.

When you pray, pray in silence. Look inward and see the creator within you. Understand your affirmation everyday. Say to yourself, every single day, "I am great. I am beautiful. I am, I am, I am, I am" whatever it you want to be and eventually you will turn into just that. The religious and the educational system must be modified!

PART IV: A POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The human being is the most mightiest of all creatures in the universe. This is not to be taken egotistically as most ignorant persons do and justify the senseless killing of life, because everything you're killing is part of your environment which is a part of you. When you kill, you kill a part of yourself.

What is not taught in the education in America is that your environment is the outer expression of your inner thought. If you wish to change your environment, change how you think. Political scientist cannot escape the fact that the Human being is a product of the universe and what benefits the universe benefits the Human and what destroys the universe destroys the Human. The universe, in reality and scientifically, is the only thing alive and existing. We are here so that the universe might know itself.

Wisdom can only be achieved when the Human walks from imperfection to perfection. Anything that is perfect is ignorant, it doesn't know itself. Mistakes are perfect, like spilling water or a shot to the head. These things are perfect. You cannot improve or take away from perfection. By themselves, these things are perfect. By themselves, these things are ignorant. Humans are the imperfect part of the universe. When the Human being comes to consciousness and realizes its true state of existence, the Human has gained wisdom and the universe moves one more step towards knowing itself. This is the first step in a successful revolution, "Knowing yourself, finding yourself, HEALing yourself."

To HEAL yourself you must know yourself. Many of us have no clue as to how to use our minds to control and better our lives and the lives of others.

Within everyone's head there is a muscle called the brain. This is the jewel of the universe, consciousness is the jewelry store. In the brain there is a section called the cerebral cortex where matter is converted into ideas. This is the realm of intuition and analysis. This is the part of the brain that gives us the ability to read, write, and do math. Even music is created here. The cerebral cortex houses our ideas! Civilization and the concept of Humanity is here in the cerebral cortex. Within the cerebral cortex are neuron cells. They store information. Everything we know is stored in our neuron cells. In each and every brain there are about a hundred billion neurons. And each neuron cell represents one bit of information. This is how we string along bits of information to create or destroy. There are about a hundred trillion neuron connections in every head.

There is no reason for anybody to not be living the life they want to live. Everyone is living the life someone made for them, whether they're conscious of it or not. We are all reading a script but only some of us are writing it! Who wrote your script? Who's controlling your life? The saddest thing is that the script written by the current religious, political and educational systems is riddled with sex, violence, and lies.

Humans are the most powerful living creatures on earth because we can information into ourselves for either advancement or self-destruction. Unfortunately this makes us imperfect, unlike the dog, cat, bird, or fish which is perfect. We are intelligent, they are ignorant. We can destroy ourselves, animals cannot destroy themselves. We can improve on ourselves, animals cannot improve on themselves. But in order for the Human being to advance it needs information about itself and its environment.

In addition to that the Human being needs to be in touch with the teachings of their ancestors. If they miss out on these valuable lessons they will repeat the same mistakes. It is extremely important for the Human being to know itself because without knowledge of self the Human being is, in essence, a beast.

When a particular People do not have their culture in place but instead, take on another, the result is self-destruction and insanity. Keep in mind that whatever is stored in the neuron cells for a period of time, eventually becomes a part of your genealogical make-up.

If you have been beaten, robbed, and murdered for hundreds of years, eventually your children will be thieves and murderers. In addition to that, they'll become immune to the guilt and shame of murder and violence. This is why the military in the United States loves Black People so much. Being beaten and murdered for so long has turned us in excellent killers. But if these genealogically trained killers are unorganized they will turn on themselves. If these killers are uneducated they will turn on themselves. If these killers are confined to a specific area with no hope of moving or advancing, they will turn on themselves. Either the educational system is ignorant to this or they intentionally want to see us die! It's one way or the other.

We are all made up of what ever our parents are. The solution here is to write down on your neuron cells new information like: Love, Intellect, and Culture. Your thoughts are as real as the baby you carry (men included). Say to yourself, as you walk down the street, "I am the universe and the universe is me, my very existence is an advancement for my environment. I am light!" And eventually you feel it, then become it, and your life will change for the better. Not just for you, but for the People around you also. The solution lies in correct education which leads to correct thinking.

The HEAL solution is to write a revolutionary script for yourself and remember, "Before you are a race, a religion, or an occupation you are a Human being!"

WAR

By Ready Z for R4R

Mistaken, You must have been, When you went in, To serve them, They ain't your friend, ain't never been, Just a foe, You didn't know, So off you go, And if you, Get out you got nuttin' ta show, Ho, But damages, Blood and bandages, How did you manage this, I know you didn't plan this, Look at you, A bullet catcher on a stretcher, You're near dead, In bed with lead in your head, In the sand without water, Led to slaughter, Following an order To cross a border, Swallowing morter shells, Another brother fell, Staying, laying and preying In this desert hell, Taking Iraq By taking the Blacks to attack, Like hoes in a pack, It's a fact, the way we act, The Brothers on the scene are gettin' splattered, While the war machine is mean and gettin' fatter, By selling tanks and missles, Bombs and pistols, While dissin' you, Trickin', dickin', and enlistin' you, We lack the common sense to see the real deal, That we ain't nothing but crumbs in a pimp's meal. Cause to them the war is just another business, Rich folks don't give a damn, which side wins this. In a flash, Burning up the taxpayer's cash, Just to mash, Watch ya money turn to ash. For one shot, Droppin' a knot, spendin' a lot, On the spot, Shoot off a Patriot, Shootin' Scuds, Protecting thugs, Laying bombs like a rug, On soldiers deeply dug, In the Earth, To protect the land of their birth, Cause they know what this war and their life is worth, But do you and if you do what will you do, When they say, Its time for you to make your move, To the front, To catch the brunt of the hunt spot, Now its time, You got to try and dodge the gun shot, From both sides, Cause the jets on your side will figure, They could slide, Who cares about another dead nigger, Yeah, "Nigger", Rememba that when ya squeezing the trigger, A title, The name that America gives ya, Not the Arab, They didn't play that, Uncle Sam is the man that say that.
