LOVE OF SELF AND OTHERS!!! (BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND)
Peace To All,
Please study the below quote from the excellent book, "How Real Is Real? Confusion - Disinformation - Communication" and the subsequent material and if it resonates, accept it, if not, reject it. This will demonstrate in very simple terms how many of us (namely the so-called brothers) are suffering from Schizophrenia right inside BIA.
Let's not get offended. Let us take a healthy approach to the subject matter and do some self-analysis, self-examination and if needed, self-correction. Schizophernia is defined, according to Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, as:
A mental disorder characterized by indifference [have NO opinion until one is given to you], withdrawal [exclusivity and seclusion from family, friends, and "the world"], hallucinations [1. the apparent perception of sights, sounds, etc. that are not actually present: it may occur in certain mental disorders. 2. the imaginary object apparently seen, heard, etc.], and delusions of persecution [thinking everyone is the "enemy/hypocrite"] and omnipotence [thinking one is all-powerful] , often with unimpaired intelligence: a more inclusive term than dementia praecox, avoiding the implications of age and deterioration.
The word schizophrenia is made up of two Greek words: schizein, to divide, and phren, the mind. In essence it means to divide the mind. A divided mind is not coherent, it's indecisive. It's a state of death, the death of thinking. This can be seen in the complexion and the eyes and comes out readily in conversation.
Check out the below quote from the book:
If an individual is punished for correct perception of the outside world or of himself by a significant other (e.g., a child by a parent), he will learn to distrust the data of his senses. A predicament of this kind arises when, say, an alcoholic father demands that his children see him as a gentle, loving parent, even or especially when he comes home drunk and threatens them all with violence. The children are then forced to perceive reality not as it looks to them, but as their father defines it for them. A person who has repeatedly been exposed to this kind of confusion will find it very difficult to behave appropriately in many life situations and may spend inordinate amounts of time trying to find out how he "should" see reality. Examined out of its interpersonal context, his behavior would satisfy the diagnostic criteria of schizophrenia.
These conditions create internal paradoxes within because one can not trust their own mind since it's not "developed enough" and the individual literally becomes a willing slave.
A slave, according to Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary is:
1. A bond servant divested of all freedom and personal rights; a human being who is owned by and wholly subject to the will of another, as by capture [be it physical, emotional, psychological, mental or spiritual], purchase [rendering of a servrice in exchange for one's will], or birth [born to serve another human being].
2. One who has lost the power of resistance, or one who surrenders himself to any power whaterver
Too many have become willing slaves and all that will be said on the day of reckoning is, "I had no power over you, but I called and you came." AND THAT IS CORRECT. You give your enslavers power over you by surrendering your will to those who are unworthy. ONLY GOD IS WORTHY OF THE SURRENDER OF YOUR WILL. Anything else is NOT WORTHY. Anyone who preaches other than that is preaching 'HIS'tory!
Yes, you respect authority and obey the laws of the land so long as it does not conflict with submission to the Will of God. When that conflict arises you are in the valley of decision. Will you obey God or will you obey man?
Toss off the psychological chains from your minds and see just HOW BEAUTIFUL LIFE IS. Oh family, LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! You'll NEVER experience that when schizophrenia is the order of the day. Never when mental and spiritual bondage is the order of the day. I'm tired of seeing Black folk with all this wisdom walking around DEAD. WAKE UP and BE A MAN AND A WOMAN! Take care of yourself FIRST and FOREMOST! If you don't love yourself (and we can tell by how you treat yourself!) how in the hell can you love me? YOU CAN NOT! You can need me, want me, serve me, but NEVER love me beyond your love of self. That's UNHEALTHY, it is death.
If you don't love self, you can NEVER love God, NEVER love your wife, your children or your fellow believers! This is a key here. It's an immutable law. It is LIFE-GIVING. Those that know me will tell you I am VERY MUCH ALIVE - BEAMING WITH VITALITY! Those that try to engage me, it's easy to defeat you because you are barely awake - just quotologists but not thinkers. Are the seeing and the blind alike? How hard is it to outthink a dead man? When you do NOT love self, what you call LOVE for another is really your DEPENDENCY on them for fulfilling a psychological, emotional, spiritual, financial or physical need. IT's A MISDIAGNOSIS. Love is NOT CO-DEPENDENCY. Love allows relationships based on MUTUAL BENEFIT.
You'll NEVER know God until you KNOW SELF. The KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IS, IS, IS the KNOWLEDGE OF SELF. The KNOWLEDGE OF SELF IS, IS, IS the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. They are ONE and the SAME. Step back from your study and worship and STUDY YOURSELF and the UNIVERSE WILL UNLOCK IT'S DOORS TO YOU. You'll NEVER LOVE SELF UNTIL YOU BEGIN TO KNOW SELF for you can NOT LOVE BEYOND YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
In the words of Bill Cosby, "COME ON PEOPLE"!
