LESSONS UNLEARNED: The Assault On Black Masculinity

The Assault On Black Masculinity

The amount of obstacles Black males have to face when a society doesn't favor them is innumerable. We are often rewarded for projecting the most negative of images. Those images often cost us our lives.

LESSONS UNLEARNED

I open my eyes and my mind 
To inflict light on those who refuse to shine 
Not realizing they're blind
Living life feeling suspended in time, no change in the crime 

My plan is to help you understand that our lives are at hand
You can't learn to walk without first learning to stand 
Picking up those who fall
The young black woman and man 

Repeating the mistakes of yesterday tomorrow 
But still not understanding our sorrows
But yet we bring them on ourselves
And still crying out for help 

I manifest the spiritualness I receive from what I believe 
It clears my mind to focus on what's real 
Gives me the strength to deal with my pain 
Keep me from going insane

My heart mind and soul feeling unrestrained 
Pain gone unnnoticed 
Love within but cannot show it
Lessons unlearned, hope to realize before your life is adjourned

You can only give what you take so try love not hate 
Were repeating the cycle 
Not yet dissatisfied with the dread we live in 
Not playing our cards right with the hands we were given 

If each will learn to be wise and take off the disguise 
Of trying to live up to the standards of others
Maybe we wouldn't lose so many brothers 
Day by day the tears would be wiped away 

A population of violent offenders, single mothers and unconscious brothers 
Feeling disrespected and neglected, yet they cry and wonder why
When maybe they could receive their blessings 
If only they learned their lessons

SATORIPATH VISIONS

ALAN WATTS -SATORI  Satori is a Japanese Buddhist term that refers to a sudden moment of enlightenment or awakening, often described as a profound spiritual experience or realization of one's true nature.  It is a state of deep understanding and insight that transcends ordinary consciousness and can lead to a sense of inner peace, clarity, and liberation from suffering.  Satori is often associated with Zen Buddhism and the practice of meditation and mindfulness. SATORIPATH VISIONS In 2022 (Universal Year 6), I experienced an awakening after a psychedelic experience that placed me on a spiritual path towards enlightenment. This transformation was so powerful that I felt compelled to document it in a book. This is just one of many ventures I have in the works.  Early on in life, I've always felt some awareness that I was on a spiritual journey. I now understand that journey as a process of soulful growth that surpasses any human experience. This new awakening led me to a heighten

Green BILLY CARSON - MIND BLOWING POTENTIAL OF DNA EXCERPT FROM MY UPCOMING BOOK (YOU'RE THE ONE) Following the profound experience on May 26 th , I felt a shift within me, as if my spiritual essence had been upgraded as well.   Suddenly, I gained a deeper comprehension of the psychic abilities that had always resided within me. For countless years, I had been perplexed by the presence of tiny orbs of light that would frequently dance around in my peripheral vision. They seemed to materialize particularly when I had a moment of enlightenment or revelation. Curiosity consumed me, leading me to consult both my primary doctor and an optometrist, omitting any mention of the epiphanies, yet their medical explanations fell short. No answer could be found. However, after embarking on that transformative psychedelic journey, a newfound understanding dawned upon me. Those ra
