Shackles

Shackles
Posted By: linda ringgold on February 14, 2011

I've been reading some posts/blogs tonight and I want to ask does anybody remember a song about "shackles on my feet?' it went onto to talk about the shackles on our brains as a bigger obstacle. It seems we still have not removed the shackles from our brains.

Hello Linda! Whoa! Before you have determined many of us \brain shackled, you have consider you'll find diversity of people here in BIA. None of us think exactly like you;or the next person in that regard. I'm inclined to think it's perhaps what you've been reading so far. Sure opinions flow high and low, and so does each individual's thinking patterns. I think at least be open for opinions and if you're not in total agreement with what you read, this still not having bearing on who the person is behind the computer screen. Give those you considered shackled a helping hand and offers your ways to take the shackles off the brain. Offer help instead of quick judgments and show patience in teaching those who may have wayward thoughts.
Much love,
MIISRAEL

Glad you have joined us!!!

Of course I believe anytime we find ourselves 'brain shackled" we should be the process of removing them, also helping others to do so is both progressive and forward thinking. From time to time, when I read, see or hear certain things either in the media or in daily life, that song plays in the back of my memory.
Thank you for your encouraging posts.
Much love and blessings to you, hope to hear from you again.

In the corners of my mind
I just can't seem to find A reason to believe
That I can break free
Cause you see I have been bound for so long

A 2017 review of African Asian History, Scholarship and Science--- where we received OUR Genesis

Might unlock that Original Monotheistic corner of our minds that enlightens us to our truthful Reality

2017..... from the European racist History, Scholarship and Science that made us "blackSlaves"

and put "the shackles on our brains" ......

Greetings!

The shackles you all speak of we ourselves cannot remove them! Only our first anointed prophet can remove our shackles.
We are mentally shackled since we don’t have our own way to God. We are physically shackled since we don’t have our own country.

When I mentioned we must have a prophet at the same time I am saying that only God can handle Black America’s dire situation. So, when you hear another Black American proclaiming that that he, Christ Harry, is our first anointed prophet and he has something to prove he is know for a surety that God is in our midst!

Religion is Shackle if it is not your religion given to you by your first anointed prophet!
So, one of the shackles I must remove is you all’s belief in the Christian religion! Christianity is not the religion God gave me to give to us Black Americans. The religion God gave me for us is named LIFE it means divine resurrection!

All genuine religions come to a people only through their first truly anointed prophet!

The next Shackle God will handle and that is to land us in our own country as I have so many times described.
