The Healing of the African American Soul: with Truth and Recinciliation - 733

Most of us indeed want the same thing. We want peace of mind, safety, and security for our families and community. We want to fulfill our unique purpose for our own creation through life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, something pervading in the language environment prevents the formerly enslaved people from uniting and organizing for our common cause and mutual benefit. It is reported that the Last and Final Prophet said, and I paraphrase: we won’t have success until we believe, and we won’t believe until we love for our fellow human being, that which we love for our own self. I contend that the language of slave culture, black and white, makes it impossible for us to truly, love one another. In fact, it is a language that, by design, will not even allow us to love ourselves definitively. The nature of the language subconsciously creates self-rejection, distrust, and undue suspicion, and an environment that cannot socially support mutual trust and cooperation. For us, as an oppressed people, this is deadly and fatal. We, ourselves, are the most significant resource that we have. And the social engineering manipulators did everything imaginable in their power to devise self-hatred, to make sure that we would not be able to tap into that internal source of power, unity, and enduring strength. The natural world, as established by our Creator, is built on truth. Truth is absolute, meaning the principles that make up truth are consistent; they do not change. People are dynamic; they constantly change in space and through time. Yet, the principles of truth are pliable. They are applicable according to prevailing conditions while retaining the true principle. This principle can be seen in the movement of developmental life from weakness to strength or from immaturity to maturity. The message in this book is a call for truth and reconciliation. This is the only sustainable and long-lasting salvation for our country. America has survived because of its promise. It advocates a dream. It promises freedom, justice, and equality. The judgment is at hand; The Creator Has Ordered Justice, and the ex-slaves had to be socially prepared over time to receive proper justice. That time has come. We were not ready previously, perhaps, in our unaware, immature, and unconscious states of redevelopment. Now, we are equipped to not only reconstruct ourselves but we are also equipped to reconstruct our world. And further, equipped to remake the whole world. Words make people, and we are standing here and now, on and in the words of the One That Created us. We have been prepared to STAND UP! as true human beings.
