The power of lodestone

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 is no live human being without habit, even their predecessors had their own. A habit is simply a process of capturing a moment or action with your conscious mind and involuntarily transmitting it to your subconscious mind, and once it obtains a hold it becomes a part of your soul or, rather the master of your soul. You can no longer live or function properly without it. It becomes you! 

James Allen was right…”As a man thinketh, he becomes”. 

The power of habitualness!

Therefore, it is quite lucid that whatever you are is a result of what you do, consume or think, daily. You eat a lot, you gain weight. 

You often think you’re worth nothing in life; "you were not born for this", then you will never succeed in whatever you are pursuing because your daily thoughts are that you’re a failure and you aren’t good at anything. As you wish, you’ll be extremely good at what is called “nothing”. In slang, it means more “Ls" for you. 

What are your habits?

Are they good?

Do you feel like you no longer love what you’re doing but you gotta keep doing it because it controls your soul? 

The power of lodestone rules the flesh and soul…

The objects of fear

The great Bantu Biko , once said that fear is an important determinant in South African politics. In fact, that’s what all governments use to contain the civilians. Fear, is not the power that one attains, but the power that he is given by the ones who fear him.  Allow me, to quote the legendary Biko: “It is a fear so basic in the considered actions of black people as to make it impossible for them to behave like people---let alone free people.” “One must not underestimate the deeply imbedded fear of the black man so prevalent in white society. Whites know only too well what exactly they have been doing to blacks and logically find reason for the black man to be angry. Their state of insecurity however does not outweigh their greed for power and wealth, hence they brace themselves to react against this rage rather than to dispel it with open-mindedness and fair play.” “It sometimes looks obvious here that the great plan is to keep the black people thoroughly intimidated and

Resurrection

Christians would think of Jesus, first, when this word is being mentioned. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, it is the rising again of all the human dead before the final judgment; or the state of one risen from the dead. It is, simply, about revival nor the process of renewal. In Christianity, Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected on the third day. In the African culture, resurrection comprises a nexus with ancestors nor the ones who are considered deceased or late, on earth, like Christ. We may find resurrection being elucidated in a variety of ways from disparate perspectives and, mostly from religious perspectives. In the ancient Greek religion, there are many instances where the concept of resurrection gains enormous relevance. Memnon, who was killed by Achilles, was resurrected.  Achilles, after being killed, was resurrected by his mother, Thetis. Asclepius, was resurrected and altered into a more colossal deity, subsequent to being killed by Zeus.  Alcest

Dark.

“Dark” the total absorption of light nor utter absence of light; the most feared state. There are nyctophiles, also. It is quite kenspeckle that the hoi polloi had been programmed to associate dark or the darkness with only nefarious, uncongenial, evil things; the hilarious part is that this idea or thought was popularized by those who are subjectively attracted to the light or the white color. For centuries, we’ve seen and still see how the dark people and all other people were convinced that black or dark is the antonym of pulchritude. Credulous Africans, who lack self-knowledge, believed it. Hence, for decades, we’ve seen (and still do) dark people altering their pigment to be lighter, in lieu of dark. Most, claim it’s a decision they took, not out of self-contempt. But, change, inextricably makes the past existence of a substance nor image to often be treated with contempt, if not utter.  If you take a good look at this “black" or “white" matter, you’d ascerta
