The Eye

As Africans, we often make the mistake of perceiving the concept of slavery with a subjective eye; considering how it disturbed our beautiful history. Today, slavery is diversified; not only black people are slaves in these present times. All races are enslaved. However, that is contingent upon the amount of knowledge that resides inside their respective calvarias.  The rule of slavery is simple, those who know exploit those who lack knowledge; everyone exercises power in various ways. The lack of knowledge, according to the elders and the wise, it is consanguineous to blindness nor death. One may also conclude that an empty mind is as good as a sepulchre. Nothing fruitful can come from an empty calvaria. Hence, the majority of the population is ruled and controlled by the minority. The thin line between these two groups is knowledge…one group comprises gobs of knowledge, the other group is comfortable with lacking knowledge and it makes little or no effort to acquire i...

Nothing good has ever came out of fear, unless we use fear in a “face everything and rise" manner. Fear is one of the traits that are consanguineously as detrimental as the feelings of hate and sadness nor anger. None of us are oblivious to the negativity nor dead weight that these feelings bring us, yet we hold on dearly to them more than the feelings of love and happiness. However, let us explore the art of hate. Hate is a strong emotion, an inextricable fact that almost all humans can verify. Hate is what impels good people to become murderers, abusers, bullies, racists, misogynists and to partake in all kinds of discriminations that we know. Mortal humans strongly believe that hate is the opposite of love; but what is it, exactly, that makes one not come to a conclusion that the absence of love invites fear?  We’ve learned about all the gruesome events that took place in history, we also witness such gruesome events even today. As humans, we were created to go thro...

This concept is self-explanatory nor utterly lucid and I, boldly, believe that any mortal human has the ability to feasibly achieve thorough understanding of the subject at hand. In sports, war nor any form of environment where competition is the coin of the realm, the one who attains power is inevitably the one who attacks the most…which is pretty kenspeckle that the defensive team bites the dust. In my opinion, I’d say defence is the result of fear of exposure to attacks. However, defence means that you do not hit your opponent, which deprives you the opportunity to be engulfed by the possibility of a win.  This concept, also subtly elucidates the significance of “consistency”. If you consistently defend yourself, a loss is inextricably inevitable; same goes with the consistent attacker, his eventuality is a definite win. Hence, Elon Musk once said “Where your focus goes, your energy flows".  Indeed, it seems like the fear of loss makes one lose more than they wo...

Being awake, is deemed being conscious in the physical world but what does it truly mean to be conscious? Does it have to do with just having our eyes open nor is there a deeper meaning of the concept of consciousness?  Many of us are wide awake and utilize our conscious minds during our waking hours but we are in utter oblivion of what we should be shifting the focus of our eye on. To look, is not to see; however, one has to look in order to see. A paradox that will utterly perplex the individuals who are only physically conscious. In the physical world, materials are what the general population deem more valuable than any other aspects of life.  A smattering of people control a preponderance of individuals in a subtle way.  The word “subtle” elucidates the fact that not every person who is wide awake in the physical world is conscious. Consciousness, is way deeper than that. It is seeing things nor life at a different eye from the masses; hence, the shrewd o...

The system’s devout objective, is to ensure a black man, sempiternally, remains at the bottom. The biggest fear, is that if a black man could emancipate from the chains of mental slavery and achieve total freedom and independence, he’ll experience an epiphany of how powerful he is and he will no longer need anyone else but himself for survival and for the governing of his continent. Why is it that the people who were born in Africa, whose ancestors were kings and queens who once owned the whole of Africa, are at the bottom, today? In Azania (Commonly known as South Africa), ubiquitous views include a minibus taxi which is filled with Africans while other races, who came with planes and ships are always travelling in their luxurious vehicles and also living in neighborhoods where no one is below a million, in net worth. The most hilarious part, is that it has been normalized. Imagine, being a maid or a gardener at your parents’ house. Buffoonery at the highest level. My sole...

“Blessed is the hand that gives, than the one that receives" the bible says, but how many of us in this world that is engulfed with greed, would agree to the verse nor the concept of giving sincerely without expecting anything in return?  If we could delve deeper into the concept of life, we would truly ascertain that the secret of living a quality life is all hidden in mastering the art of giving. When you master the art of giving, life becomes more fulfilling and beautiful. The satisfaction that is subsequent to the act of giving, is enormously unfathomable. As humans, we were created to share the space we live in; planet Earth, that is. We were created to live together in peace and harmony, to give what we have and ask for what we don’t have.  What went wrong? Looking at the state that the world is currently in, one would come to an immediate realization that everything that occurs on this planet is, actually the utter opposite of what life was supposed to be. I...

The first thought that lit up your thought bulb was the religiously generally accepted book, often referred to as the “Holy Bible"…you’re wrong. However, a preponderance of humans’ first idea of heaven is a place, after life where perfection is ubiquitous; hell is a quintessence of an utterly undesirable environment any human would not voluntarily deem a querencia.  But, do you necessarily need to die in order to experience hell nor heaven? If we could apply our cognitive perspectives and delve deeper, we would ascertain that heaven and hell are disparate mindsets. I believe, heaven and hell are in our minds.  Your actions are solely contingent upon your thoughts. Therefore, we may also ascertain that Ted Bundy’s misogynistic killing spree was impelled by the vision which was embedded in his subconscious mind. Ted Bundy is not the subject matter, in this case; however, a lucid quintessence of one part of the subject that the current focus is directed to. If you do ...
