Now Irma is in the eye of the trauma
storm, so the commodification of fear continues.
The same folks who believe in their hearts
that a white man’s mind is behind every destructive Hurricane or expressed
force of nature, are the same ones who refuse to acknowledge the powerful,
life-giving forces of nature conveyed through the talents and skills of a
Black man or woman who is willing and able to help them.
So great is their preoccupation with
Death, that Life moves through their ranks unassuming and widely ignored. Some
folks are conscious of the latest conspiracy
supposedly initiated by “the powers that be,” but they're rarely conscious of
Dedication's ability to add value to their living experience.
The white man is their Devil,
therefore he is also their God. On the higher causal planes, the devil is
merely the Dr. Jekyll expression of the
neurotic God, Mr. Hyde. The same principle applies in reverse.
When you hear the hysteria and
paranoia of the savagely abused, know
that it is a symptom of a people who are more stimulated by—and therefore
identify more with—fear and the power of evil than they do love and the power
of good.
They marvel at the penis size of
evil, even coming up with an endless array adjectives to describe it, because
getting their backs blown by their devil of choice is what they know best. This is your classic trauma victim.
Trauma victims need our gentle
compassion, not our harshest criticisms. Your state of grace comes from your
recognition of abundant resources, whether human or otherwise. Once compassion
is bestowed upon the abused, then the abused will recognize their own
abundance. Divinity and Victimhood cannot stand in the same place.
Food is the most treasured resource
on the planet because it consistently offers humans the most intensive care
they need through compassion. What wont the most frugal of individuals pay for
a pretty hot plate? Save your Free Smoke for the abusers.
The plants and animals you eat dont
talk because they are greater than you. The hottest part of a scotch bonnet
pepper is its internal seeds, not its outer husk. The essential nature of power is to
conceal the source of it’s own vitality, yet power is paradoxically out in the open
for everyone to see. Hot peppers are the condensed individuated units of amalgamated force that propels life forward.
The greater always fortifies the
lesser in the spirit of service. Once you internalize your food, everything
that needs to be said, is said as you chew and process its flavor. A food’s flavor is its
compassion. Useful men and women are the
food of their own divinities. Emulate the appropriate foods through compassion.
My current emphasis of focus is on
that which cooks, without giving off smoke.
