The Eye

Canker the subconscious minds of Africans, is the primary objective. This is the current war that most Africans are severely oblivious to. Expose Africans to anything and everything that’ll continually impel them to invest on frivolous thoughts, materials and to think small at every chance they get to utilize the tools that reside between their ears. The plan is simple, and if you have obtained feasible understanding of the art of war, you’d ascertain that the best way to defeat the enemy who surpasses you in magnitude is to divide them. No matter how many your opponents may be, but if you can effectively divide them nor program their minds to eschew any opportunity that impels them to unite then you’ve won that battle before you even meet with your opponents in the battlefield. I hope that has helped you experience an epiphany of why Africa is still not under the ownership of Africans, despite how many centuries and decades of years we’ve buried slavery and racial discrimi...

It’s been over two decades since the democratic system succeeded the apartheid era, yet Africans are still at the bottom economically, mentally and spiritually. We still see minibus taxis, mostly that are not in a roadworthy position carrying an overload of Africans while other races travel in the comfort of their private, mostly luxurious cars. The 1948 South African government is still in power, obviously while the general population is in utter oblivion. However, now there are opportunities for every race to empower its own people; why are Africans still at the bottom? I am bold, and am readily receptive to any kinds of emotional reaction for my next statement; those who disagree are even welcome to abhor and lambast me. In my cognitive perspective, black tax and white privilege are just scapegoats for lazy Africans. There’s no such thing as “Black Tax" to a true African. As a true African, I was raised in a home that taught me that as an African, whatever I attain,...

“The grass looks greener on the other side” an aphorism, often uttered by those who view their land with utter contempt. Hence, Elon Musk once said “Where your attention goes, your energy flows”. According to Merriam Webster, there are three kinds of definitions for the word attention, but the one which caught my attention was “special care or treatment”, energy also has the same number of definitions, but the one that attained my eye was “natural enthusiasm, and effort”. In all honesty, this introduction has provided a lucid exegesis of this concept. However, I’ll delve deeper to utterly open your eye. The farmers are responsible for ensuring that the whole population is well fed. Their objective cannot be fulfilled if they neglect the land they own which produces all the food that the nation and other parts of the world depend on. Therefore, they are well aware that it is imperative for them to work their land until it produces the anticipated results.  What happens w...

The question, often asked by the inquisitive and those who are readily receptive to new knowledge and realization. This question is the best method any human being can utilize to achieve understanding. The most perplexing part is that the world comprise so many ornery people who likely contribute to all the wars and misunderstandings that engulf the “once was” peaceful land. Why don’t we develop the mindset of asking why when we don’t understand why certain things work the way they work, or are done the way they are done, or are the way they are? It seems as time goes, the world tardily loses love and the need to understand, in lieu of developing an inquisitive mindset. The world is, simply, losing the true value of life which is “love”. It is quite conspicuous that love is the currency of life, but so many people choose to be deliberately broke owing to their inextricable attachment to their own ego and conceit. Most humans still confuse showing love and kindness with bein...

It is a conspicuous fact that the world has normalized the insufficiency of Africans or, rather, the system was set up in a way that proves poverty to be intrinsic to the chief population of Africa. Looking back at the uncongenial events that took place centuries ago, one would conclude that not only we were oppressed physically, but the subconscious minds of Africans were tardily overpopulated with the mindset of settling for less than less. This mentality has bereaved us our true identity; it has bred a generation of rootless Africans who indulge in frivolous Western trends that bereave them financially, emotionally and spiritually. However, the most painful part is that most are in utter oblivion of this uncongenial tradition that we have blindly embraced. I implore you not to confuse this piece of enlightenment with one of those monologues which are often offered by typical ornery African men who indulge in the culture of adorning their heads with the victim helmet....

Life… It begins with you. It’s all about you, but not really about you.  We, the humans, have a lot in common as much as we have disparities. The fact that we’re all disparate is what we all have in common. However, many still lack the understanding of their true purpose on earth.  I…a vowel or an alphabet, depending on what floats your boat, that carries more meaning than any human could ever feasibly fathom.  Most humans, often use it to inflate their abilities in pursuit of augmenting their egos, importance and whatever they feel like it will contribute chiefly to their confidence and self-esteem. Most would agree that it has more to do with self. It is the highest expression of self. It is more than a part of us. It is utterly us – but individually. I have been perusing the idea of a preponderance of individuals who lack knowledge of themselves, but often boldly criticize the defects that are comprised by other humans. Hence, today the world consists of cr...

Habits, we all have. As the great Wizard of Omaha once said: “The chains of habit are too light to be felt, until they’re too heavy to be broken”. It all starts with a glance, and as they often utter “the rest is history”. All the habits and all the pleasant and unpleasant qualities we often possess all begin with a glance, and they immediately obtain a hold in our subconscious minds.  Herbert Anthony Stevens IV once asked in one of his songs, titled “Nothing’s something”. He utters: “why everything that’s supposed to be bad, makes me feel so good?  Why everything they told me not to, is exactly what I would?” That’s how most of our lives are. The good is less attractive, while the bad does not even require to be kenspeckle in order to attain attention. It could be how the mind was created or, maybe, “the bad” uses the art of first impression to circumvent the tough soldiers of the mind, called “conscience”? A habit is something every human being comprises – There ...

We often hear unscrupulous politicians yelling “power to the people” just to fleece and usurp the people’s power. It’s a norm, in our society. We see it, but would rather succumb to them and still yell “Amandla! Awethu!” (The power is ours) while we are utterly oblivious to the fact that the opposite is actually true. It's consanguineous to falsely convincing your subconscious mind that you control Phil Farnsworth's box because you are in possession of the remote control. To rule the people, means you must strive to attain ownership of their minds. This world is dominated by people who are dictated by the conjectural belief that they are in power when the ugly truth remains fixed that they aren’t.  The civilians complain about a lot of things that aren’t going right in their lives or within their communities, and they often blame the government. Most rebel or protest to exercise their dubious power in order to attain the government’s attention to open room for deman...

Blame game leaves so many names in shame, irregardless of whether they are guilty or not.  What’s blocking my success? Is it my high school teacher who told me that I would be nothing but a piece of shit, in life? Is it the high school bully who usurped the ownership of my subconscious mind by embedding the idea which convinces me that I’m nothing but a worthless piece of shit? Is my absent father the reason why I indulge in laying my hands, vehemently, on women? Is my alcoholic, promiscuous mother the reason why I pursued the life of promiscuity in exchange for financial gain? Is my impoverished family the reason why I did not get enough opportunities to be successful, in life? So many questions, even statements to justify or defend our current state or situation. One thing that every living human being has in common, is problems.  Musicians and influential people may insist that they don’t have any problems or worries, mostly, to deceive those whom they suspect t...

What does your eye see? Is it what you truly see or a perception of what you conjecture is the reality of what you see? We cannot deny the inconspicuous fact that the eye is the mind’s window in the physical world. Therefore, our subconscious minds are dominated by the events which are ubiquitous in our eyes. As individuals who possess disparate qualities but are bound by a common purpose of making a difference in life.  However, every individual does truly make a difference in life but such difference is contingent upon an individual’s subconscious mind. What the eye sees, the mind believes and the man becomes.  It all begins with what the eye sees… So many individuals are utterly oblivious to the fact that the first seven years of being alive is all about collecting events and habits that will affect us for, if possible, the rest of our lives. The way the world is moving, one would ascertain that the majority of the population is still in utter oblivion of the po...

We all love to feel important, to be showered with or immersed in compliments for the good we do, have done or possess. We love feeling like we’re better than anyone or everyone, or to be told we’re the best but we end up being in utter oblivion of the calamity that results from that kind of mentality. How often do we hear people who always have to include their past achievements just to boost their self-confidence in conversations? Even worse, we could also be guilty. We often celebrate our achievements, and even wish we could feel like this forever. In this age of IoT (Internet of Things), everything is connected and everything that is exposed acquire gobs of recognition.  There’s utterly nothing wrong about achieving in life but ensure that your achievements and compliments don’t augment your calvaria. The general population strongly believes that there are smart people and dumb people, even worse, others exacerbate this fallacious belief by inferring that some peopl...

In the world we live in, it is not an anomaly to be a querulous character. In fact, they are ubiquitous. We often hear the famous aphorism being uttered by, mostly, successful people which states “be the change you want to see" – yet still, complaining is deemed a querencia by the general population.  In this fast-paced era where effective communication tardily dwindles, irregardless of how technological developments are doing their utmost best to innovate our communication system. We often find individuals who’d rather enclose their ears with their headsets or headphones in lieu of initiating a conversation with the person sitting next to them. It has become a norm in our society. What is the cause of the problem of this growing culture of communicating less or not communicating at all or even the lack of the ability to maintain a relationship for longer periods? What makes it hard for us to simply say “hello" to the next person and initiate a conversation which...

When you hear the word “walk" the first thing that pops up in your thought bulb is motion. When you walk, you enable your body to approach or reach the destination that your mind is leading you to. Walking is not a quick option of moving; however, it definitely, will get you to your destination.  The mind is a powerful weapon, indeed. It can make or destroy you. Through it, you succeed; and also through it, you fail. How often do we feel anxious when we’re supposed to execute an astronomical task, and we often find ourselves seeking ways to terminate the activity we’re obliged to perform.  Lip – it is the most powerful weapon. As the great Marcus Garvey, once said: “A pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue is mightier than both". We often hear praises, aphorisms and phrases used to magnify the might of the tongue. “Speak things into existence” religious individuals often utter.  However, the lip get its power from transmitting utterances into the subco...

Pleasure is one of the aspects of life that every living human being seeks, but the irony is that we abhor failure while being oblivious to the inconspicuous fact that pain is actually the mother of pleasure. Without rigorous training and a good mindset, it’s extremely impossible for a team to win championships, without studying you’ll never attain the grades you desire or gain a better understanding of a certain subject – the list will equate a scroll if I would continue to go on about various situations to prove how pain results pleasure. Pain is not such a pleasant feeling, but once you learn the outcome that results from pain and endurance then you’ll begin to look at it in a different perspective. Without pain, pleasure would be a foreign word to us because it is impossible to ascertain the perks of joy if you’ve never experienced pain nor heartache. The most perplexing part is finding people who lambast setbacks, pain, failure but claim their biggest desire in life is...
