Invest in Our Youth (Future)

The youth are our link to the future and MUST BE "nurtured", "respected", "LOVED", protected and educated. Creating and maintaining a stable family unit should be our priority.

Recognize that children have THOUGHTS and IDEAS and they want and need to be "heard." Children too, have feelings and are very observant and receptive as to what goes on in their surroundings. Ask them what do they think about various topics, ask them how do they feel, don't just hear them, "listen" to them. Let them know how important they are.

We all know the problems affecting our families, communities and nation. Strive to be a part of the solution by investing your time, energy, effort and money in helping our youth grow and develop to become positive, productive members of our society.

We must emphasize the importance and value of EDUCATION to our youth every opportunity we get. As parents/guardians, etc., it is OUR DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to instill in our youth a great motivation to work hard. Always keep your children reading some good book that will help them think beyond their present day reality and expand their worldview, etc. We must encourage them to spend more time reading and studying and doing their homework and school projects. Encourage them to participate in school activities. Challenge them to research and write about whatever it is they are interested in that's constructive and productive and what they may aspire to be as an adult. Whatever their current interests/talents are, invest in them to allow them the time NOW to begin to pursue their interests. It's never too early to prepare for their future. Take the youth places outside of their communities to show them how others live and that there's a bigger world beyond the block they live on. Take them to the museum, to the aquarium, to the beach, to plays, to the Liberty Science Center, to the zoo. Take them to other parts of the country, outside of the country if you're able. Do what you can to EXPOSE them to others culture (way of life), etc. If you can't take them physically, show them via the internet, etc.

Our children have access to more technology than we ever could have imagined. It is important that we monitor what video games they're playing and the amount of time they spend playing them. Monitor what websites they're accessing on the internet (set up blocks to negative sites), etc. Teach them about potential perverts, pimps, etc., looking to exploit them, etc.

Teach our youth the value of paying bills and establishing credit. Teach them to strive to be a landlord, not just a tenant. Encourage them to learn about the science of entrepreneurship. Teach them about the value of getting a career as opposed to just getting a job. We must encourage our youth to do better than what we have done. Let's break the cycle of poverty, let's break the cycle of negativity. To know better is to do better!

Teach our youth the KNOWLEDGE OF SELF. Teach them the importance of loving who they are. Them them the importance of respecting self and others. Teach them to say NO to anything that's negative and harmful to them.

REMEMBER: The best thing we can spend on our children is TIME.

3 Stages of Growth

The Book of Life, the Holy Qur'an teaches us that there are 3 stages which man should progress to:

1) "Ammarah" which represents the lowest stage, the animal stage. It is at this stage where one is savage, living a beast life. At this stage, one causes harm to self and others without any concern, without any compassion. At this stage there is total self-centeredness. This is the child-like stage where it's all about getting what you want when you want it regardless to whom or what. This is a very destructive stage.

2) "lawwamah" which arouses the consciousness within self, that self-accusing spirit. At this stage, when you say or do things you know are not right and exact, you chastise yourself for the wrongdoing and embrace the determined idea to do the right thing. At this stage you are man enough or woman enough to promptly admit when you are wrong. At this stage, you strive to manifest your culture by solving life's problems, not being a problem.

3) "mutma'innah" represents heaven on earth. Here, you are at peace with self, living a peaceful life. You are building positively all day, every day and destroying all negativity within and without. At this stage, you are on your square, manifesting right angle after right angle. You are civilized at home and abroad, conscious and careful to teach the 85% (deaf, dumb and blind) at every opportunity. It is at this stage where become a god, a divine force and power of truth and righteousness.

The Holy Qur'an is the Book of Wisdom. I encourage you to read it and study the wisdom in it to become a Master of Self. Do not limit your knowledge, feed your mental, feed your spiritual to enhance the quality of your life.

Stay tuned.

P.E.A.C.E.

Play the tape all the way out!

Peace family. Life certainly presents us with daily unknowns that require swift calculations to manifest what's right and exact. Emotions (energy + motion) can cause major trials and tribulations when they are very swift and changeable. Regardless to whom or what we must learn to STOP and THINK about HOW we are going to RESPOND as opposed to REACTING to a given cipher. For every action or reaction you will either be REWARDED or PENALIZED and we must be wise to think about the end result of our chosen course of action.

I was recently the victim of criminal mischief to my property due to a highly emotional individual who unfortunately made a very ignorant decision which could potentially result in jails/institutions, etc. Now, I try to weigh things out to the best of my ability by looking at the 4 angles of the situation. When shit hits home, it becomes an intense struggle to do the right thing for the right reason. At this point in the cipher, I must be compensated for my loss or else I'm filing charges against all persons involved.

It amazes me how savages do shit without thinking of the repercussions of their actions, like it's ok to do what the fuck they want to do. Pardon my foul language b.u.t. I'm angry about the chaos and confusion that was brought about behind swift and changeable emotions spinning out of control over some shit that one is truly powerless over.

Family, be sure to PLAY THE TAPE ALL THE WAY OUT when you plan to do something on any level because one wrong move and your ass could be check mate before you can say, I apologize for X, Y and Z! Feel me? I'm a Scorpion and potentially deadly. Marinate on that! PEACE!

Build Positively, Destroy Negativity

Peace Family...

I attended a birthday party recently and it was full of love, peace, harmony, food, fun and live entertainment. Prior to attending the block party I picked up my 12 yr. old nephew, Keyson to help me prepare some body oils to sell there. We must invest in our youth (future), instilling constructive and productive values in them on all levels. As we prepared the oils, I taught him more about the science of entrepreneurship. I sold about $50 worth of oils (at $5 each) and took several photos for the birthday girl. I charged her $25 for the photos I took and she was pleased with my work. I get my hustle on when and where I can, positively.

There was a sister there who was drunk. Her front teeth is missing and she's usually grinning from ear to ear. She's a known alcoholic so most people don't pay her any mind when she acts other than self. While DJ Born played a variety of music, I watched her dance periodically, having a good time, expressing the joy she felt through the vibrations of the music. I enjoyed watching her have a good time dancing. I love our people regardless to whom or what. Some people probably laughed at her, cracked negative jokes about her, etc. I went to the store, she came in and asked me to "loan" her a dollar. I told her, "I'll give you a dollar." [It's ironic how some people ask to "borrow" money they know damn well they will not pay back.] On the way back, I walked and talked with her, treating her like I want to be treated, with respect, etc. I wasn't concerned with who saw us walking together and talking because she is my sister and I love her regardless of her physical and mental condition and position in life.

I watched Keyson play basketball and observed him snatch the ball from this other boy extremely aggressive. I called him to me and gave him some "time out" after discussing his negative behavior. I'm always building with him about being civilized in his ways and actions.

If there's any negativity manifested in my cipher that I can help destroy, I do what I can to the best of my ability to destroy it.

We must always strive to build positively within self and outside of self to add on to the quality of our life. We must always strive to eliminate all negativity within and without. We must remember that the devil (lower self) lies deep within each of us and we must strive daily to keep the devil buried there. This is indeed a struggle, however, if you desire to do the right things for the right reasons, then it's worth the Jihad (struggle).

PEACE!

What's Your MASTER PLAN?

Peace family. Have you ever been asked the thought-provoking question, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" Perhaps you wasn't prepared for it and said whatever came to the top of your head. There's wisdom in this question, so, I'm asking you now, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" It's 2009, so we're talking about 2014 [which is 5 years from NOW].

I'm 44 now, so in 5 years, I'll be 49-50 [being that I'll be turning 45 in November]. I have given this question much thought, I have given MY LIFE MUCH THOUGHT and what my goals are. I'm working diligently on my life's Master Plan. What's YOUR MASTER PLAN?

We're striving to achieve the 12 Jewels of Islam: Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, freedom, justice, equality, food, clothing, shelter, love, peace and happiness. What means and methods are we using to manifest these jewels in our life?

There's a god [Power Born Pedagogy] who posted a build from his blog, "Yellow Seed" on February 12, 2008, who said, "Get your hands dirty in the community and SHOW the people you have the keys to the universe, rather than trying to convince them. Everyone qualifies themselves through their own words, ways and actions. Their wisdom..." I agree with him 1000%!

There's so much opportunity available to us to become entrepreneurs and/or have rewarding careers. What path have YOU chosen for self? What path are you preparing your child(ren) for? Are you in college/trade school/technical school, etc., in pursuit of obtaining food, clothing and shelter for self and your seeds, for your family, for your community, for our NATION? Are you mastering any particular science to add on towards building our NATION?

Family, we have to grow up (mentally and spiritually) to become what we say we are, to become what we can be potentially. Teach the babies, show them by example, how to apply the Math (ISLAM) to solve life's daily unknowns, life's daily challenges, life's complex algebra problems. It's time to show and prove, not just building verbally and having a degree in quotology. WEALTH + WISDOM = POWER. We have the wisdom, we have to work (labor) to obtain the wealth to build constructively to show forth God's power within us.

I'm in college, halfway through, in pursuit of an Associates Degree in SOCIOLOGY, then I will continue on in pursuit of a Bachelor's Degree. I'm building a non-profit organization, Imani-7 Women's Re-entry Organization, serving female offenders and ex-offendes in my community (working to establish Imani-7 Resource Center). I am positioning myself to work for self, to address some of the social ills affecting my community (based on my knowledge, wisdom, understanding and 44 years of experience). I'm also building my photography/videography business with a focus on producing educational, thought-provoking documentaries. This is my master plan in motion, what's yours? Show and prove, not to me, to self, your children, your family, your community, our Nation. Remember: LIGHT travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second.

I welcome all comments. My email address is: wallacevkai@yahoo.com - Let's build positively, time is of the essence. Please add my blog address (link) to your FAVORITES if you find my builds worthy "smile" and share the knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Each one, reach one! P.E.A.C.E.

The Value of the Woman

Peace family. I thank Allah for Blessing me with the opportunity to build with you starting TODAY. My first build is entitled "Value of a Woman" since I already penned it prior to setting up my blog. I have chosen for my blog page THE SCORPION because I'm born November 19, 1964 (a child of the 60s) and thus a SCORPIO. There's alot of science in the Scorpion (read and study for yourself). It's not accidental or coincidental that I'm born on the 19th. The very number 19 deals with alot of science. Briefly, the number 1 represents KNOWLEDGE and the number 9 represents BORN...thus, I'm here to make KNOWLEDGE BORN...to civilize the uncivilized. This is my duty as the MOTHER OF CIVILIZATION...now, with that said, fasten your seatbelt, let's ride...

The woman is Allah's (God) 2nd act of creation after creating Himself. We are not created from any rib. I must tell you the truth, uncut. After Allah(God) created Himself out of triple darkness, He studied Himself and created WOMAN to compliment Himself, thus we have MALE and FEMALE.

Unfortunately we have been disrepected and undervalued for too long! It's time for us to RISE and SHINE and take our proper place under the sun.

The Woman gives birth to every man and woman. She feeds them, she nurtures them. All of this is alot of work and a big responsibilitity (on all levels). It takes 9 months to bring forth a child (and even at conception most women are ill physically due to their bodies going through major changes to adjust to the NEW LIFE being formed in her womb). It's very important to be MINDFUL of what you eat (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually) during these 9 months (or stages of development).

The Woman has the power to INFLUENCE. She can influence you positively or negatively as a result of her social conditioning. She can influence you positively to do things that are constructive and productive to your growth and development. It's very important to feed the woman positively so she can add on positively.

The Woman has a mind full of thoughts and ideas. Her feminine characteristics are necessary to nurture the children (our future), etc. There is much more to a woman than her physical adornments. Learn to love and appreciate the beauty of her mind and the beauty of her character first and foremost.

Treat every woman like a Queen and she will love and respect you for it. Treat every woman like you would want another man treating your very own Mother or Daughter. Think of HOW you have treated women and girls throughout your lifetime. Remember this, what goes around comes around...full circle.

Sisters, learn to LOVE and RESPECT yourself first and foremost. Demand respect from all. Dress appropriately so you don't attract the worst part of the man (his lower self). Do not accept anyone abusing you on ANY LEVEL. The first time it happens, address it right away (by any means necessary) and destroy the relationship or it's dynamics so it doesn't happen again. You are not ALONE! Don't allow any man to make you think or feel that you have no one to turn to for help...you have millions of brothers who got your back, just tell one of them what's going on and they'll step up and do whatever must be done to correct the situation.
