MORE THAN...

More Than... Some folks say, "You are what you eat." Jesus answers "Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?" Matt. 6:25 Other folks say, "You are what you know." In 1 Cor. 1:19, the Apostle Paul says "It is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent, I will frustrate.'" There is more than we can ever know, wear, bear, or consume in life. Isaiah 55:9 says this: "As the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts, than your thoughts." Whenever man gets through, always know there yet remains "more than!"

S.T.E.M. IS BLACK HISTORY

STEM IS BLACK HISTORY Black history involves more than dates and personages. Much more! Learn it, apply it, teach and praise it! It also involves some environmental-altering subject matters, including those named below, known today by the acronym, STEM-- science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Science may be represented, in part, by geology and astronomy, for example. Astronomy involves calibrating their daily lives by the observations recorded while witnessing the rising and the setting of stars and constellations, from which they produced the first world's calendar in 4241 B.C. Geology is the identifying of rock strata and formations containing granite, marble, basalt or other stones needed in their megalithic structures as building blocks. From these, they built the great pyramid at least 3,000 B.C. Technology is represented by the tools needed in the quarrying of these multi-ton stones by the thousands; and the moving of the precisely quarried stones into place in temple construction with absolute accuracy. Such excellence is ritualized in worldwide secret societies, who clandestinely pay homage to the foregoing. Engineering encompasses the foregoing, as well as temple and pyramidal alignment and orientation in consonance with the stars. It also involved the building of roads, ports, ships, and management manuals needed to facilitate men and materials movement, feeding, housing and storage. Mathematics is subsumed in the precision and geometry exhibited in all of the above, which Plato praised as preexisting that of Greece by untold millennia in his book, THE LAWS. Without the mathematics, little of the above would be possible. In short, these few examples attest to what the most ancient papyri, documents and monuments already confirm, that STEM IS AFRICAN, Nubian, black, and it predates all others in time and in space. This is no reason to brag or to boast, in retribution for the millennial lies told by certain Western Europeans, Arab conquerors and others, who later appropriated these offerings, while enslaving our forebears, who themselves had lost such knowledge! Instead, the best retribution is to relearn our heritage embodied, in part, in STEM, so that we can resume our rightful place in the Earth, and contribute to its redemption and salvation.

Religion and Science @ Einstein

"Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us. Now what are the feelings and needs that have led men to religious thought and belief in the widest sense of these words? A little consideration will suffice to show us that the most varying emotions preside over the birth of religious thought and experience. With primitive man it is above all fear that evolves religious notions--fear of hunger, fear of wild beasts, sickness, death. Since at this stage of existence understanding of causal connections is usually poorly developed, the human mind creates illusory beings more or less analogous to itself on whose wills and actions these fearful happenings depend. Thus one tries to secure the favor of these beings by carrying out actions and offering sacrifices which, according to the tradition handed down from generation to generation propitiate them or make them well disposed toward a mortal...."

But Paul said to the officers: "They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come themselves and escort us out." ACTS 16:37

REMINISCENCES OF MY LIFE IN CAMP, EXCERPT...

"Living here in Boston where the black man is given equal justice, I must say a word on the general treatment of my race, both in the North and the South in this twentieth century. I wonder if our white fellow men realize the true sense or meaning of brotherhood? For two hundred years we have toiled for them; the war of 1861 came and was ended, and we thought our race was forever free from bondage, and that the two races could live in unity with each other, but when we read almost every day about what is being done to my race by some whites in the South, I sometimes ask, "Was the war in vain? Has it brought freedom in the full sense of the word, or has it not made our condition more hopeless?" "In this "land of the free" we are burned, tortured, denied a fair trial, murdered for any imaginary wrong conceived in the brain of the negro-hating white man. There is no redress for us from a government which promised to protect all under its flag. It seems a mystery to me. They say, "One flag, one nation, one country indivisible." Is this true? Can we say this truthfully, when one race is allowed to burn, hang, and inflict the most horrible torture weekly, monthly, on another? No, we cannot sing, "My country, 't is of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty!" It is hollow mockery. The Southland laws are all on the side of the white, and they do just as they like to the negro, whether it is right or wrong."
