I have been over in the Spirituality forum, learning about the unique yet much unknown factors of melanin. Now while I don't subscribe to any religion that some have attached to it, I will tell you that I strongly believe that there is something powerful and mystical about melanin and the pineal gland (located in our brain) which produces it. Knowing that many do not ever go to that particular forum, I thought I'd bring the subject over here. I believe we should take a long hard look at this. No I am not saying that blacks are "superior" to other races, but I am saying that we are especially gifted. As being such, do we not own it to ourselves to find out what it is that makes us so? I have come to believe that the answer is buried in our pineal gland. So each week, I will be posting facts that I've found out about melanin and sharing it with you. If you find any, please post them, because believe it or not, I believe the interest in this gland which is located in our information processing center, will began to grow enormously. For truly it is no coinsidence (spelling?) that blacks excel in

Sports (example: Boxing, football, basketball, baseball, Venus & Serena - Tennis,with no professional training, running - America owes many of her gold medals to black people, and the list goes on)
Music (for example Jazz honey)
Singing (who can out sing a sistah or a brotha. It is even counted a compliment to a white person, if they are told they "sing" like a black person)
Inventions such as the traffic light and the cell phone.
Teachers (it has been show that blacks tend to have the most profound impact upon the minds of children. They simply have a way of implying knowledge that is at times...un-natural.
Profound Learning Abilities...things seem to come so natural to blacks without the need of being taught or given "lessons". These things simply enhance what they already have...naturally.

This is why, I believe that the pursue of this melanin science should be done with passion...it is our passion that drives us and I believe that the pineal gland may be the source of much of that passion. So I will began posting in post 2. Please share what you have found out or feel free to express why you believe there's nothing to this. I won't get mad at cha, but I might challenge you a lil bit...all in love.

The skin is the largest organ that the human body posseses. Many people are aware that the deep concentration of melanin in African peoples skin makes them black and enables them to use the rays of the sun more effectively than our less “melanated” counterparts, but what few know is that melanin is not only present in our skin but it permeates our whole physical being. Yes...our whole being. I believe it even has some impact upon our spiritual being too. For that's who we truly are...spiritual beings. Forget about religion...that is not what I am implying here. I am talking spirit...not faith of any kind. Respectfully, I do not seek to offend anyone, for those who know me, know where I stand in faith. I am simply talking about us as spiritual beings...period...okay? Now what if there is a connection of some kind. Would that explain why we "feel" our music. Why we are such a passionate race of people? Could it be that our "soul" is somehow connected with the melanin factor. I'm serious yall...I ain trying to get weird on ya or nothing. Just probing and would like for yall to probe with me and see what we come up with. I'm simply looking for truth with no weird theories attached, because it is these type of things that will cause people to lose interest altogether. But I want yall to stay with me because I think we're on to something here and if so, it definitely needs to be shared with as many blacks as possible so that mental slavery will be destroyed. It can make a difference in our life, the way we see ourselves, our music - the things we say about ourselves, imagine our image being lifted upwards as a result of finding out who we truly are. Think about it.

I believe that the secrets of melanin are the key to unlocking blacks from mental slavery. Just think, if we were not so jealous of people and came "together" across this nation, we would be a people to be reckoned with. But we are mentally divided. I'm telling you right now, that I will not be overlooking this subject, this science, this amazing gland that God placed in the first race of man...the black man.

Hi Joyce...
I have been following many of your posts and replys, for awhile, and if you notice...I haven't replyed to any of them. Not because I didn't want to, but I decided to not get involved. I have seen you in some very length-ly conversations about "religion" ...being that's a very tender subject for some...I stayed in the background because I disagreeded totally with some of the things you were saying, but that's another thread. However I'm replying to this thread only because I'm in total shock that you not only read, but believed "what" you read. Which in one way or another interacts with your spiritual self. And spiritual-vs-religion, don't mix.
When it comes to Melanin, there's not too much I don't know about it, my husband is an historian and he has taught me a lot about melanin, infact I think he did a whole write up about melanin in this forum (not sure but I will check it out).
There was a post, about a month ago or longer about "milk" ...is it good for you? well I didn't touch that one either because if I had said milk was made for "white" bones and not black...people would have been jumping all over me, and I do believe that you would have been one of them, am I right? they say we "need" milk for the vitamin D, but that's not true at all, most black people can't even digest milk. "Melanin"...gives us all the vitamin D we need. Milk is for calfs...not people. We produce natural milk for our babies. Which is why black people can't digest milk...their not cows!! And when I sit in the sun for about 30 minutes, I have all the vitamin D I need for that day.
After I read a few of the replys that be on here, I will be back...for sho.
If it's okay with you I will address something you said in ("IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH?..by Destee) if you're up to it, let me know and I will speak on it.

Sister Joyce ... thank you for starting this thread and sharing this information. The most i've learned about melanin has come from the Members in this community, and so it continues ... :love:

I think it's necessary to discuss melanin in such a way, that even the least of us (me) can understand it easily. Based on your posts above, looks like that's finna happen!

Looking forward to more Sister.

:heart:

Destee

I have some questions:

1) If "white" people are indeed naturally superior as many claim and infer to be, then why are the main ones that preach such things usually the most poor and least intellectual? Also, why are there any social problems within the "white" community whatsoever? Naturally superior people should be able to easily get past such normally-human things.

2) If "white" people are indeed naturally superior as many claim and infer to be, then why is it still only a small percentage of their population that actually takes up the 'Arts and Sciences', and an even smaller percentage that actually "does something" of significance? Most are just average, everyday, or mediocre people.

Did you know that...

Black melanin is needed for the function of the brain...not to mention the body. Moreover, it energizes the mind and the body. It's like a battery that can actually be charged up...how? Simply by being in the sun. Now I will be the first one to tell you that having lived on the beach and around it for years, I avoided the sun as much as I could. I would go to the beach in the evenings to catch the sunsets. I would walk my pit in the mornings before the sun rises to mid day. All of this time I could have been "charging" my battery. But NOW I haven't been avoiding the sun during the past 2 weeks. When this melanin is energized or charged up, it does my body good healthwise, even my eyes.

Blackbird and Sekhemu have played a very big part in this in that they have shared some basic natural facts that the average person could understand and accept. I don't avoid the high sun anymore and if you are African, you shouldn't either. 30 minutes a day won't hurt you and your brains will love you for it. Your cells will reproduce at a greater rate and your nerves will function better. Shoot this explains why whites tend to gray so quickly...no melanin...no color. Can you think of many white persons in their 30's who don't dye their hair? We sistahs dye (I don't) our hair because we want to, but whites dye their hair because most of them have to. This is not to diss, but to help you realize what we got here.

I will be adding more next week...if you have any thing please post.

You said:I have been following many of your posts and replys, for awhile, and if you notice...I haven't replyed to any of them. Not because I didn't want to, but I decided to not get involved.

And spiritual-vs-religion, don't mix.

Well Queen, when I first visited the melanin thread, I came there with the curiosity and intention of learning something about melanin. As a result of asking questions, one of the teachers got into religion and brought Jesus up in this...doing a comparision of sorts. Well i wasn't quite wit dat and so one thing just lead to another. I suppose I could have ignored his remarks but some of the things he said were awful hard to look past. BUT that's not to say that there's nothing to the things he was saying about MELANIN. I just don't subcribe to his religion concerning it. But there is definitely some things to be learning here about this powerful subject and I am all ears.

What I want to do in this thread is talk strictly about melanin and melanin ONLY...not religion. It's not that I am trying to leave God out of it, because after all, He created melanin. What I am trying to do is avoid :fight: because it will surely come if we go into religious beliefs concerning melanin. Then what will others learn while we are arguing???

I hope that in my discussion over there with Sek and Blackbird that I haven't came over as some one who loves to argue for the sake of arguing. I am so glad that you brought this up. No Queen...I don't drink milk. I drink Spirulina instead. I breast fed my last child for 21/2 because of the very facts you brought up about milk.

Yes, please do address something I said in "Is There Life After Death?" I would love to dialogue with you...it would be an honor.

Respectfully...

Hey...don't forget to post that information

You are so right about the sun Sister Joyce. If the humidity is'nt extremly high I love to bast in the rays of the sun. It is so rejuvenating for me and boy!, the body just loves it. I can actually feel sensations of cells awakening.

The sun even cures my nasal congestions. I had a head cold and my nose was stuffy. I sat in the sun and my nasal was clear. I never knew it was due to the increasing of melanin.

That melanin is very interesting indeed! I also heard that through regular meditation you can heal your body. I believe this to be true because if melanin is release when we are sleeping surely in meditation you're in a dream state condition. If you gently and not forcefully guild melanin through your body to the area of question with your mind, you can heal that area.

They say that some Doctors are now practicing this methods with patients as oppossed to surgery. They are working with spiritual healers to teach patients how to relax and reach this dream state condition so they can heal themselves. Doctors were astonished by the results and as usual the wealthy are the ones who could afford this type of therapy.

However, we can access this ability on our own. I even went as far as trying it for myself. I went into my meditated state. Focused on the area of questioned and sure enough I could feel a tingling sensation in the area. I was healing myself and I noticed the change in that area also. I did'nt keep up with my self treatment but I am aware that it does work.

Nice thread Joyce. I grew up next to the ocean and I always loved the sun, but everybody else was scared to get "BLACK". That mentality has set "us" back some yeeeears.

I believe that the secrets of melanin are the key to unlocking blacks from mental slavery.

....if melanin actually did make one superior, then that melaninated mind wouldn't have even came under mental slavery in the first place.

The mind you refer to was not the mind of the one we know as Asar! all others are imitators. However now a great year has come full circle.

I enjoyed reading your post and I concur with everything that you said. The mind is a powerful center and just think most of us use less than 10% of it. Yes, indeed the body can heal itself with the mind being the source of it's energy. It worked for you because you believed. I believe the source of this melanin could also play a part in a thing called FAITH...because faith is a substance that can't be seen, yet it is the evidence of things that we do see. Thus meditation is as you said...is very powerful. This is something that I used when I was in critical condition in ICU for 3 days. Now meditation is apart of my mornings before I start my day.

Yes Joyce, the mind is powerful. Correction most of us use less than 5% of it because we use only a minute % of one hemisphere. Many adepts in the mystical traditions of the world are capable of accessing more of the brain power than most Westerners.

there is a difference between having melanin and knowing how to "use" it, the people you refer to that came under mental slavery were not using the powers of melanin to it's intended and highest faculty.

A template for melanin was left for our people by a man named Asar, husband of Aset and father of Heru, and the first recorded black man to die and resurrect from the "tomb".

A great is the time it takes the earth to make one complete revolution around the sun. Just under 25,000 years. Our ancients heralded this advent by preparing for a new Atum/adam to appear. The rising of the collective souls of black folks to return to Godhood..

It may interest you note, that roughly every 12,000+ years the earth experiences a "polar and magnetic shift" . Hmmmmm wonder why!

More Melanin Facts:

The pineal gland is a full blown minicomputer which processes and send messages throughout the body. This is done is a much faster fashion in blacks than whites. So what's the point? I will tell you honey. If information is processed in my brain faster than it is yours, that will put me at an advantage. I will clearly get to the bottomline a whole lot quicker with the answer. As a boxer, I will read you quickly and quickly (with no sweat) come up with an effective strategy to take you down. As a basketball player, not only will I have quicker speed in taking the ball to the hoop, but I will be able to fool you with marvelous "mind" games to make myself look extra beautiful on the court.

As a forensic scientist, I will arrive at the answer a whole lot quicker and even wonder myself, how I knew what to do. In living among cultures, I will adapt much quicker than you without having to change my surroundings or the people in them to "fit" my comfort. I telling yall, this pineal gland is an amazing thang. And as Blackbird said in so many words, those of black cultures have mastered the use of this "mini computer", the pineal gland even moreso than we have. I say we continue to learn more about what we got...inside. For surely we are a brilliant people! Spread the news...spread it quickly! We can come away from the mental slavery that has a grip on so many of us.

Hmm. That is a deep one. It sounds simple enough for me, but I will be mindful and try my best to break this down. Give me some time later today. I got a few other stuff I got to get off my mind. But electromagnetic spectrum is visible via the light spectrum of colors. We are constantly bombarded by electromagnetic waves; this is the nature of the universe.

Joyce, that's what I'm talking 'bout! I see a little reading has gone a long way. I'm proud of you for bringing the knowledge of self to the board. Here's an excerpt from our previous discussion/thread:

Sekhemu, let's continue this cipher. I read in Richard King's book 'Melanin' that melanin absorbs sound energy, which is a lower vibrational form of light, and create something new from this. Is this considered alchemy? Also, do you think the stagnation of black popular music has been orchestrated by evil forces in "power" who understand this as a fact? Or is it just a by-product of centuries of black people in mental bondage?

That's right Aum

Melanin can convert light energy to sound energy and back again. The perfect absorber of light and all energy frequencies. Definately the alchemical process on the microcosmic and macrocosmic level.

Even the word Alchemical contains the word black in it.

Energy like any thing in nature is also overstood to be organic. So what we put into the computer is what will come back at us so to speak. However, there are a number of our people that have been co-opted. One of the ways this was done was by changing the rythmic pattern in dance records, to the exact same pattern used in military basic training regiments.

Naturally one would say that most of these beats are produced by black hip hop producers. Yes and no! There is a "research" project out of stanford university reaching back into the late 1960's called remote viewing.

This research was taken over by US military intellegence soon thereafter. What is remote viewing. It is the targeting of a person or place, using longitude/latitude coordinates. Often procured by ONI, A.K.A. Office of naval intelligence. To assisinate. gather information or PROJECT thought matrixes by altering the brainwaves, of a given subject(s). THis is carried out by a human "operative" in a specially designed chamber.

In some ways we this beast is like a child we created. Time to put all of it's toys away I guess.

"Om"

The following is concerning all forms of melanin which share similar bioelectronic properties:


1. Melanin regulates your body's temperature.

2. Melanin can convert calcium to vitamin C.

3. It absorbs more sound, color, and transmit information faster.

4. It can concentrate energy.

These are just a few that I came across while viewing a videotape by Dr. LLaila O. Afrika.

Dr. Afrika elaborated on the fact that melaninated people have anatomical differences also. Some of them were:

1. Our bodies have less salt.

2. We have less body hair.

3. Our bodies are more equipped to walk.

4. Our legs are longer in comparison to torso.

5. The distance between our eyes are farther apart so we have better peripheral vision.

6. We hear more sounds.

7. We have a different set of good bacteria, fungus, virus, and yeast because most of us inherited an Afrikan stomach. Our bodies can't breakdown certain Amerikkkan foods. Our diets should be 90% RAW fruits and vegetables because that is what our ancestors' diets consisted of when they were building the pyramids. The Amerikkkan diet has too many COOKED foods with chemicals and additives that are harmful to us in the long run.

8. White historians, John Locke, and John Cook have reported in their writings that people in KMT were a disease free culture that lived to the age of 150. Our diet now has cut that factor in half.


Afrikan and European people are at the opposite ends of the spectrum of humanity's diverse population. Clear differences in childhood development are observed. For example, infants of Afrikan descent are born with advanced sensorimotor skills compared to European infants.

Amos Wilson, a psychologist and prolific writer, has written extensively on the black child. Two of his books, dealing with research and theoretical viewpoints are intended to help black parents cultivate the advanced development of their children: "Developmental Psychology of the Black Child" (1978) and "Awakening the Natural Genius of Black Children" (1991).

In these books, Wilson reviews numerous studies that compare psychomotor and physiological development of black and white children. Research has consistently demonstrated that up to at least the first two years of life, black children are significantly more advanced that their white counterparts (Smart and Smart 1972). Black children have a "natural head start." According to Wilson (1991), if black children are appropriately stimulated, motivated, guided, and supported, they are capable of attaining intellectual heights equal or superior to the children of any other ethnic group.

An earlier study by Geber in 1958 produced revealing results. Geber demonstrated that Afrikan infants were superior to European infants on several indices of psychomotor development. Within a few hours after birth to 11 months, Geber showed that psychomotor development of Afrikan infants was twice as fast as that of European infants. The psychomotor development of European infants probably lagged because of a less melinated, and therefore less efficient, nervous system. Some of the behavioral indices were:

1. Being drawn up in a sitting position without head falling backwards;

2. Supporting oneself in a sitting position and watching reflection in the mirror;

3. Standing against a mirror;

4. Climbing the steps.


Melanin's Connection to Spirituality
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man/woman's salvation can only be achieved by the elevation of consciousness to the higher part of his/her being, and the increase in their spiritual powers that they may be free of the limitations of the physical world. The exact manner in which the spiritual cultivation is to be undertaken--the schedule and the method--is shown in the oldest initiation doctrine known to humankind. That is a spiritually controlled way of life. Melanin maintenance is a must if one is to lead a spiritually enriched existence.

The one below, really hit me like a ton of bricks, because I have often wondered why blacks seem to be plagued severly with certain diseases moreso than other races...

You are so right, I didn't want to get blacker. I must admit I loved my pecan brown skin. And the funny thing about it (now that I think about it), I love my husband's dark skin, but didn't want to be dark like him. That's strange ain't it.

I want you to know that I appreciate you coming over just the other day (Saturday) and sharing some of the things we discussed on the other thread about melanin. Yes, a little reading has helped me a lot. Who knows...if I keep this up, I may wind up buying one of them $35 books. :D

The one below, really hit me like a ton of bricks, because I have often wondered why blacks seem to be plagued severly with certain diseases moreso than other races...

7. We have a different set of good bacteria, fungus, virus, and yeast because most of us inherited an Afrikan stomach. Our bodies can't breakdown certain Amerikkkan foods. Our diets should be 90% RAW fruits and vegetables because that is what our ancestors' diets consisted of when they were building the pyramids. The Amerikkkan diet has too many COOKED foods with chemicals and additives that are harmful to us in the long run.

This makes it clearer to me. Again...thank you

No problem!

I wrote about melanin over 3 years ago and have tons of information on it. A small part is at:

I was reared in the coastal southeast. So, I do miss being in a sunny location and near water.

That sun is a wonderful thing that does wondrous things to and for our skin and bodies....Skin cancer is a possibility/risk for Melanin-rich people; but not as much as for Caucasians.

Wonderful information in this thread!...Thank you, Joyce and all who shared!
