You Asked For This
I promised myself that I was going to stay out of this...but I've been compelled, and I hope that I'm clear in what I'm about to lay down. Since I couldn't get in under my old nick, please know that this is Kenyatta.
I have no religion per say. My studies and spiritual journeys have taught me that religion is a controlling factor and a holding mechanism. Please allow me to digress. If I must have a religion as many believe one must...then mine is THE ANKH, which as some may know, means life. For me, LIFE is the highest religion there is. If you aren't practicing life, which is an upward and productive process allowing one harmony with the universe and oneself, then one is practicing death...which as we know, comes on many levels. Our ancient ancestors were scientist and philosophied and comptemplated the universe, self and their concept of a Creator beyond the level of any other peoples or present day religious systems.
It was their concepts and wisdom and writings that became a part of and inspired the foundation of all present day systems. This is not my opinion or my own speculation, but is what we call sheer fact. What many fail to see is that, the present religious systems only rose to the forefront when OURS OR THAT OF OUR ANCESTORS WERE PURPOSELY DESTROYED.
Adolf Hitler once said: If you tell a lie big enough, long enough and loud enough, you can convince the world it's the truth. I have found this to be the case with ALL ORGANIZED RELIGIONS. Some systems we have labeled as religions but they are not. There are systems in India and in China that are systems of SPIRITUAL DEVELOPEMENT or the GOD realization of ourselves that exist within ourselves that has been smothered by the mist of the physical world. Our people had a system like that also, and a highly developed one at that.
Please allow me to give a brief summary of issues that bothered me and speak of an evil that we have yet to correct. In the Bible everyone comes from Adam on down. No one has a last name, totem name or tribal name...except for the so called children of Israel which I'll deal with in a few. I could ask you...Abraham who? Moses who? Daniel who? Mary who? Some might say, Mary of Magdalene. Are they trying to tell me that in Magdalene she was the only one named Mary? Sorry, I couldn't buy that. Investigation and history has revealed that the reason that that there's no last names in the Bible is because there was a conspiracy and cover up that went on for the male domination of the woman. In other words, the lineage OR LINE OF DESCENT WAS ALWAYS KEPT THROUGH THE WOMAN AND NOT THE MAN. EVERY CHILD USUALLY KNOWS WHO THEIR MOTHER IS EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEIR FATHER IS...BUT IN THE BIBLE THE MAN IS THE ONE.
HISTORY REVEALS THAT WE DIDN'T START CARRYING THE NAMES OF OUR FATHERS AS LAST NAMES UNTIL THE COMING OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD. PRIOR TO THE COMING OF THE ARAB PROPHET, history reveals that Arabia was ruled by Queens for as long as anyone could remember. In essence, history also reveals that what happened in Islam was that they simply took all the rights of the woman and REVERSED THEM IN FAVOR OF THE MAN.
Back to the writings of the so called children of Israel: All of them are forgeries and interpolated history. I could prove that Moses wrote no books, Joshua wrote no books...that Daniel wrote no books, the the four gospels didn't even exist for close to 200 to 300 years after the supposed death of the person we call Jesus. There's so much more I could say.
The point however is that I believe nothing. We were not born to believe but to KNOW and so I always continue my path of refinement and growth. In Islam they say according to the Qu'ran, that a prophet was sent unto all people in their own language to make the message clear or plain. Therefore the prophet of Islam came to the Arabs, Jesus says in the Bible that he was only sent to the children of Israel, Buddah went where he was supposed to go and so on. The question now becomes this: Since our people were here on earth long long before there was a Muhammad, a Jesus, a Moses or an Abraham...who were our prophets? Where are their writings and what were their names? Sounds to me like we as a people are missing a lot of information and history as well as ADVANCED SPIRITUAL CONCEPTS.
AND THIS IS WHY I'M A LITTLE UPSET THAT I CAN'T GET IN CHAT !! (smiles)
Upon request I will give a list of excellent material for what I've stated and more.
luv ya !
