THIS IS IN A PERFECT WORLD. AS YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE OF AFRIKAN AMERICANS IN THE WESTERN WORLD HAVE BEEN RIPPED FROM THEIR CULTURE AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEIR TRADITION.
THEY BARELY ASSOCIATE TO AFRICA AT ALL. THEY ARE WALKING AROUND WITH THEIR HEADS CUT FROM THEIR OWN GOD.
THEY ALL HAVE ADOPTED A FOREIGN RELIGION THAT DISRESPECTS AFRIKAN TRADITIONAL VALUES AND CUSTOMS.
THESE INDIVIDUALS ALSO GO AS FAR AS CREATING THEIR OWN NAMES FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
I TOO, HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF DOING THIS, MY AWAKENING INTRODUCTION TO MY OWN CULTURE AND TRADITION IS WHY I AM SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH YOU NOW.
WE HAVE BEEN PROGRAMED TO FORSAKE WHO WE ARE, WHO OUR ANCESTORS WERE, AND ANYTHING ABOUT OUR INDIGENOUS PRACTICES.
WHEN WE CREATE WORDS AND PUT CERTAIN PHRASES TOGETHER WE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUMMONING THAT ENERGY.
IF WE CAREFULLY OBSERVE WE CAN WITNESS THE BEHAVIORS OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS.
IN CLOSING RECORNIZE THIS, THE VERY INDIVIDUALS WHO DISCOURAGED US, ARE DOING IT FOR THEM SELVES, THE NAMING CEREMONY, IS PRACTICED IN ALL CIVILIZED CULLTURES ACCROSS THE GLOBE. WHY AREN’T WE EMBRACING OUR OWN CULTURE AND TRADITIONS?
WHAT IS THE CONTINUED CONSEQUENCE OF OUR IGNORANCE? YES! WE ARE FAR FROM SEVEN DAYS OR NINE DAYS OLD, BUT, IN OUR AWAKENED STAGE IT IS BETTER TO BE LATE THAN NEVER.
