Thinking Out da Box
Thinking Out of the Box
of Pax Americana
Afree man exercises the divine and human right to self determination inhis thinking and right actions. He thus thinks globally but actslocally, for he must remain grounded in the reality that surrounds him.He cannot get lost in the stars, in the other worldliness of globalevents to the extent he loses focus on events in his daily round.
Forsure, he must, as Baraka urges us, stop thinking like an American,since he is never treated as an American for one moment, despite allpronouncements claiming his American citizenship, yet we ask a simplequestion, why does the voting rights act need renewal to affirm he is acitizen like all others? The African proverb tells us that wood mayremain in the water ten years but will never become a crocodile!
Butit is an awesome task to command his thinking apparatus to transcendthe American mythology of lies, deception, innuendo and circumlocutionthat confounds his very being, keeping him in a state of nothingness anddread. In his utter denial, he claims a healthy mental condition, whilewe know better, we know the severe stress brought on by a continualsocial insecurity that persists even when we would think things aregetting better--look who's in the White House, surely time has broughtabout a change, surely it is no illusion or delusion that he is now kingof the hill!
Ah, don't be fooled by the one billion illusions ofthe monkey mind, Guru Bawa taught us. What appears to be is not! It is acharade, a masquerade that shall surely be over 'round midnight!
Buthow shall we think, how shall we climb out the box of our negrocities(an inflamation of the negroid gland at the base of the brain caused bybad habits--said Baraka in A Black Mass, "Where the soul's print shouldbe there is only a cellulose pouch of disgusting habits!".
Wemust find a quiet place to still ourselves, to detoxify from the worldof make believe, the world of conspicuous consumption. Discard the cellphone, the giant TV brainwashing you and your family. Remove yourchildren from the enemy schools, after all, they come home hating youand everything you're about, and you wonder why! What people in theirright minds would send their children to the enemy to be educated?
Socome out of denial we enjoy a healthy mental state, admit to ourselvesand another the degree of our sickness, our nothingness and dread. Yes,it is a painful realization but we must finally be true to ourselves,our mates and children. We will not conjure the energy to inform ourchildren we live in a war zone, a low intensity war but war none theless. After all, we attend the last rites of our children on a constantbasis coast to coast. Yet, we do not force upon them the need to don thearmor of God, we send them naked into the battlefield, yes, with pantssagging off their behinds! What soldier would enter the battlefield insuch a wretched condition. What sane parent would allow their childrento go out into the battlefield so utterly unprepared? The Boy Scoutstaught us to "be prepared"!
Each day we see the rapidlydeteriorating condition of our people. We observe their physical andmental aliments. yes, even the doctors are sick! Many of the doctorsmaintain a residue of faith in Pax Americana, just as we maintainedfaith in ole Massa, even when we were emancipated, for where shall we goand how shall we get there, unless a Harriet Tubman comes along withpistol in hand to dare us turn around on the pain of death! We love youancestor Harriet! What did she say, "I could have freed more slaves ifthey had known they were slaves!"
