As I sit comfortably, I wonder what thoughts would arise in my mind in this particular moment of serenity on my couch? Would the ‘crease’ of information cast a shadow over which thought would rule in that moment? Is that the most important ‘concern’ that must be addressed, or that thought that would make humanity lose ‘decency’ and ‘order’ rule the debate?
It is long known that Black people make calculations based on spiritual clarity for all given situations. Now the keys to this discernment was taught to all of us long ago in the ‘fold’. The ‘fold’ is the place, the energy, where the two choices lie. The barrier between the ‘fold’ is the darkness that separates called the ‘crease’. As Black people, we don’t necessarily chose the option that is free of ‘shadow’. Black people choose wisely between the two choices available because making no choice is worse.
So, we use a ‘pick’ to break the surface to know what’s underneath, or we use a ‘shovel’ to remove the debris and clutter that hides the ‘purpose’ beneath.
ISSUE 7: ‘As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked; but mine hand shall not be upon thee’.
That was the declaration of King David, who was given the throne of Israel because King Saul had done performed his duties as ‘sire’ most egregiously as the lust for power darkly shadowed his initial anointment. Moreover, this also made the people of Israel repent for asking for a king as other nations round about Israel was governed by Kings as shown in 1st Samuel 12:19.
Alas, if you wish to read the entirety of the 1st book of Samuel it is a brisk read. In the end though to quench your quick thirst for conclusion. King Saul did fall on his own sword. My conclusion is as I’ve always believed. Evil always finds a way to succumb to it’s nature. Donald J. Trump along with his Republican suitors will be no different. Although I will never believe Donald J. Trump was ever blessed to rule over America. It’s just that, just like King Saul started out being blessed by the Prophet Samuel. Vanity of vanities will get you every time.
So sayeth the preacher.
Now let me correct my prediction about the Republicans and their lust for money and power which is leading to the ruin of us all. I said the Republicans would steal everything except what’s nailed down. I am mistaken. The Republicans are ripping up the floorboards to take the toilets with them. Republicans are crowbarring out the sinks and fixtures! I mean these Republicans are ripping out the shower heads in the bathrooms.
Listen to me now. If we are to believe that America is not named after a person, then America should be the ‘ideal’ all of us should strive valiantly to infuse with all that is good. I know. I read that ‘Israel’ was not named after a ‘person’. The name ‘Israel’ was given by God straight to Jacob to tell all the Hebrews they will now be under one name as a nation. Jacob was not renamed ‘Israel’ like a name changing thing. The nation of ‘Israel’ was formed way back in Genesis.
Now. Again. I am no one’s spiritual teacher. Once again. Donald J. Trump and the Republicans are being fought, outwitted, warded off and battled on every front possible.
The Democrats. The Independents. All who seek to pursue ‘righteousness’ as the natural counter to ‘wickedness’ are being rewarded with hard fought victories born out of a quest to bend that moral arc of the universe towards justice more forcefully! Fate is foolishness! Destiny is illogical! Karma is a kaleidoscope of light viewed through a cracked prism!
Realities that we demand are gripped with both arms and bearhugged! All of us that wish for the good of this world need to pile on! I’m going to lose my shit! I’m fighting with everything I got. Yes. I defeated an unjust attempt to steal my home through mortgage records(Which should have been off limits to those without a need to know). You know what? Keep bringing it!
Evil has never fought a fair fight! When the bell of life was rung. Evil was already on location with a terrain layout before any of us ever arrived on scene! Simply? The Devil already had a scouting report on Adam and Eve before the ‘game’ even started you fucking morons! Get that through you thick skulls!
Oh Lord. Somebody help me. The Devil was playing ‘chess’ long before any of us knew what ‘checkers’ was!
Surely, we were the last one ‘picked’ to run on the ‘field’.
Be well.
Oh, I almost forgot. In 1st Samuel, music was used to ward off evil spirits. Mind you, these evil spirits was welcomed in by their human hosts. I suggest not letting the Devil in so you don’t have to have a spiritual musician(preferably) to play music to get that demon out yo ass.
