couldnt. then i forgot since waking. i went to spread and give some love reminders to persons of my camp, reach on their page and was promptly put back in memory. funny how things happen eh...this was the thought:
if no one ever taught you what you currently know what would you know?
if you were not trained, told how to be, how to act, what to think, told what was valuable and what was not .. and more importantly, taught and trained who was valuable and who was not, what would you think? now
If you were not given certain books to read, and led into certain practices and initiations, what would be your pattern ? today?
hm.
it struck me as it may strike many of us upon our journey (yeah right) how much of created beings we are. and i thought this of religion. the specific thought I had was if no one ever taught black folk about a white blue eyed god, or about a mythological figure called christ, there may have been a prophet revolutionary called hesus..who would we call and cling to? that seemed so weighty when i thought of it this morning. if we did not grow up being taught of god. what and who would we incline to? Not nature, physics, the cosmos, the moon and the stars? for what is more abiding than that. every day you wake up there is the earth and her sibling planets. every night you fall to slumber you are watched over by nut the stars and moon alignments. (see what i did there). i went back to what was before the books were written. ahhhhkemosabi
so many points I am making
one, go back to what was before . what existed before books. what stories the ancients told.
two, what stories did your ancestors and ancestral bloodline tell. for that is your source, not someone who has no lineal or lineage connection to you. if it aint physical/metaphysical, it is just a myth, a belief, a lie...** asterisks for me to ponder that more longitudinally
three, having delayed writing this , a further level reveals itself and it is this: first we are taught and trained what to think and know and believe and to dismiss and unknow (wow. another angle), but then somewhere in our journey of living, this challenge must rise, and the awareness and consciousness builds for us to see we did not come with this. we were not born with this. you only are born and come with what you know, what you reveal to yourself, what lessons you learn, but the indoctrination. NO> that is not real. what does it take for us to get to that point. and then when it arrives, not to dismiss it. how do you know what you know. and dont tell me anyone told you, you read it in a book, or it was what you were trained and taught. tell me starting with you as agent and authority. and that is where many would be lost for they are never to see themselves thusly
four, what is also amusing to me as much as I am a bibliophile, I am coming into a new realm, realizing how much books are the tools of the ignorant. this life is something else youknow. as much as you learn and evolve. there will come a time where you reach a crossroad and destination to realize what brought you thus far and to here, was a lie or best yet, misleading. incorrect. i see why ignorance is clung to with such passion. it is hard navigating what you dont know.
five, and that is why all those things are taught, to give the douens something to hold on to while they travel. never mind that it takes you down to the nethers, not up to the ethers, but whos business is that? not kermit's/ not the muppets of the world. wow. Muppets. excellent metaphor
I will done here cause i feel i would never stop writing
this thing unfolds onto itself and new territory
but who would you be if knowledge was not given onto you, but you onto it?
if no one ever taught you what you currently know what would you know?
