This digital periodical will question the ridiculous nature of those in power constantly trying to convince us they have our best interests at heart. Thinking the worse about those you govern won’t endear them to you. Being fawned over by those with paid access is not flattery United States Senators and Congress members.
Manipulating the haters and the willfully ignorant among the citizenry to trouble people who’ve done them no harm blots your soul. Along with a myriad of lessons this world teaches you; I have witnessed God’s word in truth as he seeth that everybody’s day will come…
Article 24: Just the Shell of a Man is all that Matters?
I’m trying very hard to keep my digital footprint on spiritual matters limited to relevancy only. This posting will be about cautionary admonitions of stopping and choosing from what we see in our fellow human beings by their outward appearance. Now. We have many examples to choose from which is why we are having difficulties in solving the rampant cruelty practiced by those that act in our names. Cruelty breeds cruelty right? We must agree on that right? Okay. Let’s take a break and explore some of what was created from and what was ‘derived’ and applied to humanity from an ‘almug’ tree shall we?
Legendary tales are sometimes true tales such as the region of the Middle East called the ‘Ophir’ Region. This area was designated as Southern Saudi Arabia, Oman and Yemen. King Solomon’s gold mines were roundly rumored to be there. Now those countries may not come as a shock, but Lebanon’s mountainous region was also a site where these rare ‘almug’ trees grew and thrived.
Ahh, this wood? Let’s talk about it. It garnered a ‘blackish’ coated bark with a rich and deep heartwood core that could sustain and maintain a high degree of polish. Also. Get this. ‘Almug’ tree wood has a high oil content that is naturally antiseptic making it extremely resistant to termites and insects. Black folks. Does the ‘almug’ tree’s qualities sound familiar? ‘Almug’ wood is fragrant and acoustic. Also, if you have need of wood that has strong and sturdy characteristics. Then this wood is perfect for structures that require sound and solid foundations. Akin to what life required of Black people huh? Oh right. Not to mention the instruments King Solomon and King David demanded to be played, harps and lyres, were made of this wood. Instruments which filled their chambers with music that literally chased demons from the depths of souls!
India, Sri Lanka, and the Horn of Africa or Great Zimbabwe have historical references as well where this ‘Almug’ tree, this highly valuable ‘Almug’ tree, could be found.
Don’t worry my loyal readers, followers and users. I am of that tribe of human beings known as the ‘WHY’ people. I must know and understand in order to answer and offer explanation for that most ultimate question of. ‘Why’?
Have I yet to disappoint you? If I have, you may stop coming to my website www.landcause.com now. I have enjoyed your support and am sad to see you go my friends.
Those of you that have chosen to stay, please listen and hear me now. I will continue my research and I am hopeful that I will continue to discover why Black folks consist of what we consist of? Why were Black folks so sought after for the slave trade? The ‘almug’ tree has answered some of my questions, but a part of the equation does not solve the entire equation! To be continued…
Now, to close with our infatuation or a better word would be, ‘superficial’ obsession with appearance. Black folks know that our appearance is but an invitation to explore what’s beneath the surface. Yes, I know. I’ve opened some ideas about how Black folks have come as far as we’ve come, but let’s stay on topic. We’ll circle back around to ‘almug’ trees later. I promise.
America has allowed this political theater to thrive in our ‘Legacy Media’. In our assessment of our leaders to guide us through this life and our society. Simplistically forcing ourselves to not think too much because thinking in our determination leads to indecisiveness. That’s why we have gone from a trainwreck back to a trainwreck 4 years later with Donald J. Trump.
America had 8 years of President Obama and no scandals or upheavals. Then 4 years of Donald J. Trump with nothing but upheavals from Covid 19 to White Supremacists shitting on the floor of the Congress of the United States. Now, we’re back to 4 more years of Donald J. Trump with nothing but upheavals!
When will Americans respect the rich spiritual traditions and frankly the more moral societies of the Middle East? When? You Americans. You’ll never learn! Fix America before you try to ‘fix’ people that could teach us a thing or two. Too many ‘empty drum’ Republican politicians just banging themselves loudly down the street with Americans so gleefully clapping alongside of the road like they’re hearing the most soul sustaining music of their lives.
Now. In closing.
America. We’ve got a shot to not elect immoral men and women to guide and lead us. Republican Ken Paxton is an immoral man. Choose a better man in Democrat James Talarico for Texas. Choose Democrats. We can do better. Make us do better!
Be well.
