peace and much love.

what's happening with farms in Louisiana? 'cause this mainstream thing is ridiculous here - one of the most important coastal trading ports in all of the americas, New Orleans, and avocados, mangos are two fer four dollars U.S.

i don't comprehend why people don't eat platanos much but those are a bit more reasonable - not readily available though.

shoot, in venezuela, mangos drop from trees uneaten and you can observe folks selling naranjas (oranges) at stands for MILES up and down a highway - strange market if you ask me, everybody selling the same thing.

Re: Conversations Thursday and Friday, 18-19 October

Being that creation may possibly be heaven or hell depending on our relative perspective and attitude, a meaning and definition of each concept deserves critical attention.

Agreed, that the conception of heaven and hell may both be in the framework of a now and later; with specific emphasis on The Black Experience in all of The Americas, let us concentrate our discussion on an example of the internal and external forces relative to such experience.

The Energy of Word spoken, accompanied with the Drums of Communication be broadcast through a car audio system. To paraphrase, an orator was explaining his opinion concerning the oft-quoted cliché, “experience is the best teacher.”

The opinion expressed a concern for each person who lives and learns by experience, that it is not necessary for everybody to experience the same situations, for, if one makes a mistake, then the others could, should and would learn by that relatively “bad” example.

Certainly, this sentiment reflects the ideal perspective of the orator; an attitude of well intended character. If I may observe, however, that in order to balance this equation, one must be aware of the real circumstances that factor into this formula for arriving at Truth.

The reality is that most people resemble a metaphorical adam and eve – the first man and woman of Christian lore, who were directed to not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil – only The Tree of Life. Unfortunately for them, as the story goes, only by sacrificing their relative innocence and experiencing the relatively bad or evil were they in a position to appreciate the so-called good.

Ideally we could, should and would learn from this example of service learning…and ideally not re-create an identical destructive experience.

But let us review the perspective of the automobile oration, a commentary on relatively negative influences; what happens with our formula if the example is one of a positive nature – one that instructs us on the values and virtues that enable exponential creation?

Let us inquire, “What is positive about The Black Experience in the Americas?” From this perspective what relative benefits may be derived from the common wisdom of our ancestors? Ideally, heaven should be a possibility that may be spoken into existence depending on our attitude NOW, in the present tense; we are all too familiar with the reality, however.

But I insist these are external influences, and to quote the Goodie Mob, representing Southwest Atlanta, “The battle’s no longer physical/it’s from with-in/you live to die/and you die to live again/but you can’t win for loosing/what sides are you choosing/decisions, decisions to make/decisions, decisions to make”

What are some of the internal forces that motivate decisions derived via The Black Experience in the Americas?

If I may offer my opinion, a priority might be the common wisdom that capitalist colonial society is founded on exclusion and exploitation. In general, its governing organization doesn’t represent the masses; it’s a fine idea, a wonderful intention, however reality does not compliment this masquerade!

Specifically, en Los Estados Unidos (the United States,) government is neither of the people, by the people nor for the people – it is the most awesome carnival in the world! I write that because even though I don’t like it, I must respect it.

As a result of common wisdom of Black Experiences in the Americas, I would logically conclude that we would agree with the perspective of an orator who advises no longer choosing to continue replicating this particular experience. Unfortunately, most folks have to get kicked out of The Garden in order to appreciate the splendor of which they once innocently participated.

Eventually excluded and exiled, I think most folks’ attitude becomes less disciplined and lacking character. No matter what they intend by attempting to speak into existence, the motivation is suspect due to fear, anger, lack of confidence and self-esteem, suffering and bitterness.

YES! For five hundred years the experience has been a creation of a relatively troublesome hell on earth – but on the other hand, recognize the changing game. Rather than acting as political pawns, do we ever hear of adam and eve realizing their collective mistake by acknowledging their experience and vowing to improve the basic fundamentals on which it came into being? No longer innocent, do we ever hear of a metaphorical journey to re-enter The Garden by methods of conflict resolution where, in terms of group experience, forgiveness is required not only of others but of self? Is it possible to trust others when you do not trust in your own self?

Most certainly, some events must not be forgotten and as a matter of what we choose to spend time remembering, we know that our so-called government DOES NOT represent and HAS NOT represented its claims. What outcome may be predicted with this pattern? IT NEVER WILL; further, IT”S NOT SUPPOSED TO! Do we really want to be members of this particular garden club?

Brother Minister El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, Malcolm X, opines that it would be insane to insist on patronizing a business where one is not welcome. The game is changing from miss-representation to self-sufficient inter-dependent participation! I never heard that there could not be in existence more than one Garden! That stated I am impressively aware of the absence of punctuality with regard to The Black Experience in the United States, both literally and metaphorically.

Participation means being on time; it means A BEING - an existence - in sync with a time/space continuum; it means that the internal priorities switch that alarms habitual motivations of intention, discipline and character be rearranged to reflect the common experience and wisdom of our ancestors – which in this case is an identical source of energy motivating a perspective of the automobile orator’s expression.

Participation means being conscious and aware; it means A BEING - an existence - representing conscious awareness and a super ability to harmonize with-in a Universal chorus composed of supernatural, heavenly, galactic, Astral Hosts. We are arrogant to continue acting in space alone!

As I participated in the Louisiana Association of Non-profit Organizations (LANO) this week, I became acutely aware of both the necessity for preparation and lack of vision to head warnings directing us towards completion of such a mission.

For certain, what happens when the eyes of the world are no longer focused on aftermathematics of The Hurricane Katrina Apocalypse? What Revelations are predictions of the future and how does what we are doing now both compliment and oppose unavoidable confrontation of crises?

Rather than escape our duties, what self-sufficient practices and tactics are we cultivating knowing in our subconscious that we have already lost the attention of the United States? That is not to say that the attention we did get was as helpful, beneficial and on-time as possible (or ever was), or ever be Willed.

Once again, the patterns of this experience indicate destruction; what could, should and would be learned from the experience and mistakes of habitual tardiness in general - regardless of either our own excuses or specific capitalist colonial exploitative and exclusionary practitioners? Let us debate who is responsible later, after we have survived these crises.

There exists more than one house flooding and trust Intuition is guiding us for choosing which one to allocate resources. We MUST organize our own effort – invent it, speak it into existence, follow through on words with actions and everything thing else inspired by participation in a wake of under preparedness. Let reactionary concedures pass a timely death in both a literal manner with respect to the proactive requirements of our circumstance and on a larger, more abstract metaphysical plane.

Perhaps a definition for proactive would be “professionally active,” meaning the occupation required of each generation with respect to generations both before and after. This includes what order our attitudes represent and are re-presenting, create and re-creating; in contrast to relatively good and bad, I’m referring to Absolute.

There exists no other option except for Being the definition of a Destiny that we intend for it to mean. When the concept of heaven is birthed into the present (perhaps pre-sent?), imagine what a harvest our seeds will reap!
