I know God has planted me under the earth in Amenta. I know Amenta is under the earth because all seeds rise from there. You see I have been planted in Amenta and need to be watered well to get the nourishment from the soil so that i can break through and provide the fruit that will provide the next seed. Actually we are all in Amenta. We are placed there by god or the devil but who is God and who is the devil. God is you and you are god. God has placed you in Amenta when you are controlling your evolution to your higher self consciousness. Here is the rub, the devil is you also only its you being controlled by outer forces such as people, places, things, or activities.

Who then are the wateriers, they everone you listen to, talk to, read of, and read about. The wateriers are the ancestors who can guide you (if you let them) and the living scholars that listen to. The question is whose dropping pure water onto the soil of your brain and heart and whose not. You control who it is you allow to feed you so if you never mature to adult hood it is because you choose to stay on similac. In the precepts of ptah it says “If the teachers allow themselves to be led toward evil principles, verily the people who understand them not will speak accordingly, and that being said to those who are docile they will act accordingly.” Don’t be docile, demand of yourself a greater understanding than the larger society would have you to have. It is clear that the teachers of the culture we live in are led towards and are living a pure evil mentality. One which has no regard for African life. The president of the united states was to busy vacationing to provide the assistance needed to thousands of Africans in dire need in Darfur, Rwanda, and New Orleans. A nameless African American official told a Rwandan official looking for help from its “American friends” that America has no friends only “interest”. A significant portion of New Orleans blacks and for that matter the countries blacks had to learn the hard way that president bush has no “interest” in them much like he has had no” interest” in Africans in dafur and much like president Clinton had no “interest” in Rwanda.

We have been taught by the evil ones amongst us that “ what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”, well Mr. Gander it ain’t so. This goose is cooked and to many of us ganders are trying to jump in the pot. The African where ever he finds him self must throw off the fetters of eurocentric logic that devalues his being. As African American were struggling for dear life and did what was necessary to survive in the Hell of New Orleans the white media called these survivors “looters”, while at the same time calling white Americans “finders” when they had done the same thing Africans did to survive. Why is this? Because the white media and Africans who cant see outside of the eurocentric main frame, can not envision Africans as heroic. Nooooo Leroyhood couldn’t be taking from the rich to feed the poor. Nooooo Muhammad and Shashica (who bill cosby hates) couldn’t be getting clothes for a families whose wardrobe had been whipped out by the hurricane. Nooooooooooo Bertha’s couldn’t have sent johnie to get a tv and a generator to watch bill oriely and see what they hell was going on and when the vacationing boy wonder was going to do something to help her and her family escape from where hell and high water had already arrived. Nooo none of this could be true for the white media. The white media didn’t see a hero till the “Calvary” arrived. They begged for a Rudi Juliani while a Ray Nagin begged for assistance. The white media saw refugees in American citizens instead of hurricane victims. The white media saw looters and shooters instead of the thousand of people who helped on another to survive in horrible conditions. Why is this? Because our history together still demands that we be marginalized so that the white psyche can fell good about its self. How dare a kanye west suggest that a white president doesn’t care about black people dying. Just because this president sat on his ass and did nothing in the first days of this tragedy doesn’t mean he doesn’t care does it? Just because the press went to the French quarter and gave the all clear and didn’t venture into black New Orleans that doesn’t show an insensitive bias does it?

But god has planted me in Amenta. Its now time to stop “just” talking about new Orleans and live the lessons of New Orleans. Plenty of African Americans are mad at what happened and rightfully so, but will we drop the chains? Will we finally say to ourselves as a people that we must map a destiny of our own separate from these people and their interest? Will we examine the phenomenon of so called African American leaders like a td jakes who not only couldn’t see racism in what happened but then did photo opts with bush? Get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready hell. Get rid of that boot licking mentality and grow a back bone. Preacher loose thyself. Are we willing to tell a Farrakhan that if Allah did this to those Africans because we are a stubborn people who act just like the blue eyed devil then to hell with Allah? How stupid must we believe allah is that he hit black folk who only act like the devil and didn’t hit the damn devil who taught black folk to act in such a way. Are we ready to read what must be read to change our mindsets and teach our children what must be taught so they don’t grow up as confused and lost as most of us. African Americans should be the first in line to demand school vouchers and we should be building schools with African centered educational programs not just African symbolic names. Sadly the answer is no. we will talk about this till we forget about this. It wasn’t to long ago that African Americans got the short end of the stick of aid in a California earthquake. This is nothing new, we may be mad today and a while longer but a few more photo opts with the right black folk and all will be normal again. At least with the masses of us it will, but what about you? where will u stand? I have been planted in amenta being feed with the waters of Amos Wilson, Claude Anderson, John h Clarke, Harriet Tubman, Joneta Cole, Femi Kuti, Marimba Ani, Runuko Rashidi etc. I am striving to become a tree of liberation fruit. Like harriot I am not waiting on anyone who doesn’t know they need to go from amenta and be born again a new creature. I hope we all take that journey but a word of advice, most folk wont and even some of those who will go with you will want to turn back around. We must be willing to do as Harriet was and “them out of their misery”. No I didn’t just say kill someone this is after all a journey of the mind at this stage. We must put the nay sayers and back sliders away from us or surely they will drag us down with them. Another precept of ptah htp says “If you desire that your conduct should be good and preserved from all evil, keep yourself from every attack of bad humor. It is a fatal malady which leads to discord, and there is no longer any existence for him who gives way to it. For it introduces discord between fathers and mothers, as well as between brothers and sisters; it causes the wife and the husband to hate each other; it contains all kinds of wickedness, it embodies all kinds of wrong. When a man has established his just equilibrium and walks in this path, there where he makes his dwelling, there is no room for bad humor.” Clearly the same must be true of bad company whose object is to sway you from your mission. Htp and respect beloved

Greetings Brother Olorun. This is your playground, but it feels more like a garden.

This is a great piece. Throughout it I could see the undertones of traditional Afrikan culture and the influences of our great warrior scholars.

Keep it up.
