<div><p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Life Is For Living</strong></p><p style="text-align:center;">Junious Ricardo Stanton</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}12260339259,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}12260339259,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="710" alt="12260339259?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p><p>“Life is not a spectator sport.” Junious Ricardo Stanton</p><p>We have been given the precious gift of life, it is a wonderful and awesome opportunity to be and manifest great things on this physical plane of existence. Please do not take it for granted or abdicate your responsibility to live fully and be your best authentic self. It is incumbent upon each of us to discern why we are here, why we incarnated on this plane and then work to cultivate, develop and actualize our innate aptitudes, abilities, talents and gifts.</p><p>For most of human history aboriginal indigenous people recognized the universe is teleological, a fancy word for purposeful design, that there is order and observable symmetry all around us. Whether you are an atheist, an agnostic, a follower of a specific organized religion or an independent mystic if you are observant and conscious, you have come to the conclusion we are here and that the universe exists; therefore it must have had a creative source, a CREATOR. If you accept the fact the universe has a creator, the next step is to ask what if any is the purpose for creation? Even if you subscribe to the notion of a “Big Bang” you have to ask what caused the bang in the first place and where did the energy, matter and materials we observe as the physical universe come from? It is logical to reason there must be a FIRST CAUSE, SOURCE and MAINTAINER for all creation.</p><p>Life is energy and with it comes: mobility, cognition, awareness, volition, imagination (the power to visualize and create in our mind) and project those ideas into the physical realm and manifest them. This is quite powerful; yet far too often we take these abilities for granted or we allow them to remain dormant and impotent within us.</p><p>This is why we find ourselves in the sad state we are in personally and collectively. Some of you may be considered successful but the vast majority of us are little better than Zombies sleep walking through life wasting the genius, talents and treasure embedded within us. If the universe is teleological and I believe it is, then we are not fully living when we fail to cultivate and actualize our potential and gifts, when we fail to manifest our innate genius!</p><p>We live in a society where the ruling class created an exploitative system, they program and train us (through their education system) to fit into their scoio-economic agenda, that enriches and profits them. They could care less about our natural genius and gifts unless they can harness them for their benefit even if it means hurting and harming the world!</p><p>We did not incarnate here to be cogs in their profit making order, that is not part of the greater teleological plan. We each have the potential and the solemn duty to share our talents and genius, to serve our fellow humans and be good and faithful stewards of the natural order in which we live. This is the real purpose of life and living. We are here for a reason regardless of the circumstance of our birth. We all are special, we are intended and designed to play a pivotal role in the world and environment in which we live. If you do not cultivate and actualize your gifts and your resident potential, the world suffers a great loss. It means your real contributions have been forfeited! You owe it to us to be your best and most authentic self; even if it means going against the existing prevailing socio-economic-political order! Life is for living we must accept the challenge of living fully.</p><p>There are evil forces attempting to manipulate us and suppress the first law of nature within us, the law of survival. This is not hyperbole or exaggeration, it is provable fact. These miscreants are not only attempting to profit from our talents they are now working to alter the natural order and us with it. They are programming us to passively acquiesce to their diabolical schemes. They are playing god by malevelently geoengineering the planet, trying to alter the very nature of what it means to be human; what they call transhumanism or post-humanism. What is post-humanism you ask? Here is what the powers that be say it is, “<span style="color:#2a2a2a;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The ‘posthuman’ is used to describe modes of being resulting from potential enhancements to human nature generated through applied science and technological developments.

Problems and adversity are part of the human condition. They are unavoidable; we all have them, have had them or will have them. The solution is not to avoid challenges, they are part of daily living and they serve as a means to strengthen us toughen us and make of wiser if we see them in that light and perspective.</p><p> Some of our problems are of our own making, they are the consequences of our thinking, our attitudes,, our emotions and our actions good or bad. Other situations are thrust upon us by life, by the powers that be and our social environment. Either way at one time or another we will be faced with obstacles, challenges, adversity and problems.</p><p> The great Avatars, teachers, philosophers and mystics wrestled and grappled with life’s vicissitudes and challenges. Many of today’s world religions are based upon the teachings of those wise ones. When we examine their teachings and the ancient folk wisdom of our ancestors we find a deep sense of optimism even in the midst of hellacious circumstances and situations. Some of these situations lasted days, months, years and even centuries. Nevertheless within these challenges, amidst despair, oppression, unspeakable tragedies people found ways to cope, thrive and transcend even the worse of times.</p><p> When troubles come and they will, our attitude about life is crucial to how we cope and deal with whatever we are facing. In today’s era of mass psychology and mass media manipulation we have been conditions to adopt a hopeless helpless mentality. We tend to exaggerate or awfulize the situation or think we are inadequate and ill equipped to thrive in the midst of adversity. The ruling class overlords want us to be in this mindset that is why they exert so much time, energy and resources to program us to be infantile in our responses to life! This allows them to exert more control over us, the more helpless and hopeless we feel the more in control they are. They can sell us their solutions even if the solution is more helplessness and hopelessness.</p><p> The late great Amos Wilson said that in order for this oppressive system to exist the vast majority of African-Americans must be kept out of our minds. “We have stated before, that in order for us as a people to be in the situation we are in and not be in concentration camps and not have guns pointed at our heads throughout the day, we must be maintained in a particular state of mind. In a sense then, we must be literally out of our minds- and we must be kept out of our minds.” <strong>The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness Eurocentric History, Psychiatry and the Politics of White Supremacy</strong> page 66.</p><p> The socio-economic-political system we live under is designed to maximize profit for the ruling class; whether that means enslavement, low wages, selling tainted food and pharmaceuticals with lethal side effects, waging war all the time all over the world or stifling our innate genius and potential.</p><p> This type of environment: an outer driven consumer based, youth oriented hedonistic culture is not conducive to introspection, developing viable coping skills personal enlightenment and circumstantial transcendence. We have to take ownership of our lives and discover how to be our best self. We are not going to learn how to do it in the American educational system or in the mainstream corporate/digital media.</p><p> We can transcend our challenges, we can solve our personal and collective problems, we can move from maladaptive responses to life to enlightened self actualization and competence. We are not helpless or hopeless. Discard self-sabotaging thinking; replace it with self-assurance, critical thinking, meditation/introspection and an innate sense of success.</p><p> Life has its ups and downs and bad times don’t last always. We have proven we are resilient. We took on the most oppressive system in the world and won, we just allowed them to dictate the terms of their surrender, and they maintained the status quo for the most part.</p><p> We are greater than our problems, we have the internal wherewithal to deal with our circumstances and thrive. We have the capacity to endure horrific situations and our ancestors did so for hundreds of years! We have the same capacities. Problems are unavoidable they are part of life, so is the process of solving our problems and winning.</p><p> </p><p> -30-</p><p> </p><p> </p></div>

Transformation is not a strictly religious idea or notion although it is at the core of most organized religions today. Unfortunately we have consigned the notion of personal transformation to an idealistic naiveté, something one rarely accomplishes or if they do it’s done to earn more money, gain higher social status or some other goal such as losing weight.</p><p>All too often personal transformation is promoted by gurus who are in it for the money as they sell and hype their books and other media. Don’t allow hucksters and charlatans to dissuade you from actualizing your full potential! History has shown there are people who genuinely love humanity, who want us to grow and master the vicissitudes and challenges of life. The world’s most popular religions are based upon the teaching of enlightened beings like Moses, The Buddha, Yeshua bar Joseph, Muhammad, Zoroaster, Lao Tzu, Confucius and countless others. Their message to us is that transformation, rebirth, resurrection is possible and doable.</p><p>All of the great avatars and teachers, those known recorded and unknown, recognized that personal transformation takes arduous effort; there is no easy path to personal enlightenment and self-mastery. This truth is even more evident in a society like ours where conformity, groupthink, rigid social constraints, selfishness and grass materialism are the norm. The rulers of this social order have created a system whereby we are indoctrinated to fit into a mold to serve and enrich them by being their workers, their managers, overseers and enforcers. They tell us we are free and have equal opportunity but we really don’t because most of the time our options are limited to what they present as possible, acceptable and permissible even if it harms us or society.</p><p>Repentance means to change your mind, how you think what you believe you are capable of, it means having confidence in the latent powers within you; it is the first step in personal transformation. Personal transformation is a form of resurrection, rising from the uninspired thinking, moving beyond restrictions, constrictions and stultifying limitations. Transformation means getting out of the rut, a rut is nothing but a grave with open ends. Transformation means seeing beyond where we are and envisioning (visualizing) something different, meaningful and better.</p><p>The idea there is something better and greater for us can be scary, it goes against the grain; this is why most of the teachers who promote personal transformation are viewed by the keepers of the status quo as troublemakers, rabble rousers engaged in seditious activity. This is why Yeshua was lynched for sedition, why Socrates was murdered for teaching alien ideas (which he learned from our Nile Valley ancestors) or why Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and so many others were assassinated for their divinely ordained work to free our people mentally, socially, economically and politically. </p><p>As frightening as nonconformity, marginalization and ostracism can be, all too often the first and sometimes greatest opponent we face when we attempt to rise up and move beyond our present boundaries is ourselves! We are constrained by our beliefs, fears, doubts and habits. Our own lack of faith in ourselves and our innate powers and potential holds us back, keeps us in bondage to dead end ideas, unenthusiastic pursuits, lethargy and sloth which are a living death!</p><p>Rise up! There is a Divine Spark within you, allow it to energize and transform you. Introspection, quietude, trust and action are the keys to resurrection. Turn within; learn to distinguish between idle mind chatter and intuition the unlearned knowledge that while it may seem crazy is never wrong! Learn to cultivate your intuition and have the courage of your convictions because it will always prompt you to do things beyond your present comfort zone (habits patterns d proclivities). Unlike a lifeless corpse, we still have the Animating Life Force working within us. Stoke it, arouse it and allow it to transform our lives and bring us into positive notice; have the courage to allow it to do a great work in your life!</p><p> </p><p> -30-</p></div>
