Thank You God! Through the love of God, I here and now reclaim unseen mental and spiritual energy taken from me and my ancestors as a result of physical deception, and longsuffering. I am wise enough to know that physical energy is only temporary, therefore it is maleable. Nonetheless, this reclamation provides me with the mental acuity to access extraordinary physical, mental, and spiritual strength, and resiliance that my ancestor's were forced to claim, enabling them to subdue challenges unknown to most human beings. I thank God for these enormous and timely blessings provided to all humanity, and I promise that I will use these prodigious gifts to inspire love, happiness, truth, honesty and good will to the entire Universe. Sometimes the spirit of God is not always present to us when we pray for it, but it's always on time. God alway knows best.

Speaking for my great-grandmother! They called him Rudolph, and he had a red nose; and it was plain to see; it labeled him for sure wherever he goes, like you and me. When we heard talk about Rudolph, it made us feel better. Our lives seemed like his, life right to the letter. We were very similar and it was easy to see, we foolishly thought that mercy would visit us the same as it did he. But Rudolph was a hero, and we certainly believed, that if we could only be heroes, we too would be well received. Rudolph was not like the others, and everyone knew, that before that one stormy Christmas Eve, Rudolph's history was turbulent too. Before Santa's problems on that stormy Christmas night, poor Rudolph was laughed at and called names before every flight. Rudolph learned an important lesson, and we thought we did too, but on that same Christmas night, our children became gifts for Bobbie Franks and Mary Sue. We heard them speak of this savior that we could not see. He save old Rudolph! Why did'nt he save our children you and me? Many seasons passed and many stories too. The story of Rudolph and Christmas only made us blue. We have been deceived by the story of Rudolph and it made us appear to be fooled. Our elders and spirits kept telling us these people have no spirits, and are differently schooled. We talked to our neighbors that have been here many years. They spoke of their treatment and how they shed many tears. Our neighbors said they knew them after centuries but believed nothing they said. They took all of our land, killed all of our buffalo, and now all of our braves are dead. Some said that they bragged about cruelty and bells that they've rung, words of hate spoken with sharp forked tongues, not realizing that every thing they say, will be etched into our spirits and used yet another day. There is no reason to know my name. I lived centuries ago. I did not know the story of Rudolph, and I thought you should know. The story of Rudolf was released in 1939. If I said I knew Rudolph, I would be really out of line. Nonethesless, it's plain to see, that it wasn't about Rudolph. It is about you and me. Just, John

Now that we have learned to perform a few isometric exercises, and meditations necessary to align our spirits with the cosmos, It is now incumbent upon us to reclaim energy taken away from our ancestors and us through deception and longsuffering.  We have provided a soundtrack for us to remember, and never forget from whence our energy has come . Please access the SoundCloud soundtrack below. Listen to it, and log it into our mental database for clarity. Affirmation for Reclamation below: Daily Affirmation for Reclamation   I thank God every day for allowing me the genetic wherewithal to access the wisdom of my ancestors. For many seasons, they have journaled, documented, and passed on their findings through the genes of their offspring so they would be prepared for future events. God has blessed me to be a recipient of both current and ancestral wisdom. This wisdom has enabled me to gain the mental and spiritual favor to avoid the physical grief associated with evil and deceitful projections cast upon them—and upon me—for seasons unknown. Like them, I find great pleasure in sharing this wisdom with my offspring. My ancestors and I have learned from personal experiences how to avoid committing acts that are not in alignment with the will of God. Many seasons of long-suffering have enabled us to enter and master dimensions that elude others who have not drunk from the cups or tasted the bitterness we have known. I am aware that there are dimensions beyond the physical. The physical dimension is editable and temporary. Mental and spiritual dimensions are not finite, but everlasting and all-controlling. I understand that the mental dimension provides a gateway to the spiritual, and that both dimensions quietly, stealthily, and seamlessly govern the physical. This daily confirmation is a simple reminder of the strength and resilience passed down to me through my genes—strength that has been anointed by God. All praises to God on high! R emember to listen to the soundtrack provided, and verbally repeat the affirmation to enhance its effect. Our mental sensors have provided us with advanced mental acumens eons ahead of other human beings that have not occupied this mental place. We are now the masters of the mental realm! Through the longsufferings of our ancestors, we possess the wisdom to understand the importance of how to use energy from all dimensions to assist in creating a more perfect universe!      Click on the beautiful lady below and listen to Daily Affirmation SoundCloud link below to indulge the experience completely: Click on the the pyramid Sound Clound audio file to listen to meditation music exclusively:

It is difficult Why wouldn’t they be bamboozled? It is both comical and sad. I have been amazed at how effective America’s sordid projections about Black people have become—globally. The influence is so profound that wise observers can only shake their heads, especially when we see Somali people in Minnesota insisting they are not Black and pointing to their complexion as proof. It doesn’t surprise me when people with little or no melanin believe—or pretend to believe—such malarkey. Yet even some Black people, like Tim, Byron, and Clarence, have thrown in the towel and tried to profit from the nonsense. Doubt Muhammad Ali once said, “The hands can’t hit what the eyes can’t see. I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” Brother Muhammad mastered the art of misdirection and became one of the greatest heavyweight boxers in history. He learned how to manipulate doubt. It was beautiful to watch, though few grasped the deeper lesson. For Black people who endured about 400 years of bondage, missing that message was impossible. When one eye is lost, the other strengthens. Likewise, when God-given attributes—freedom of movement, thought, and other human functions—are restrained, something else develops that is not visible to the naked eye. When the physical world becomes unbearable due to pain and anguish, humans shift into another dimension. Some rely on the mental dimension; others on the spiritual. Some were blessed to understand that these two realms, though unseen, could be mastered. It appears to have been God’s will that this ability passed into the genetic makeup of their descendants. Jesus said to Peter, when Peter briefly walked on water before succumbing to the wind and waves: “O ye of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?” Who Were the Beneficiaries? Some say, “Follow the money,” and it will lead you to the culprit. It may be difficult for some to ponder, but who benefited from the crucifixion of Jesus? Who benefited from spreading lies that Haitian people in Ohio were eating dogs or cats? Who benefited from placing Black Africans in slavery for more than 350 years and keeping my ancestors—and me—under Jim Crow for a season or more? Many believe the beneficiaries were white people. But that assumption is almost as misguided as believing God did not create all humans equal. Those who think this way misunderstand physical deception. Had they listened to the teachings of those who grasped these matters more deeply, they would be less misinformed. I may be mistaken, but God has granted me many seasons and the ability to gather wisdom from them. Some live only a few seasons and yet contribute profoundly to the world. It is said that Jesus lived only 32 or 33 years. Others live much longer. Today the world is watching as some who have lived at least 79 years use illusions of wealth and power to increase both—and to project lies onto others for self-aggrandizement. Many follow them because the outward rewards are enticing. They see the physical benefits but fail to understand the consequences. Consequences Many missed it, but her expression said everything. Surprisingly, it was not a look of hurt, but of dismissal—especially coming from someone of Haitian descent—when he repeated, “They are eating dog, eating cat.” Some can sense things telepathically; others cannot comprehend the concept at all. Telepathy is mental, and it exists through personal experience and ancestral experience passed down genetically. Many lack this wisdom entirely. They have neither the personal nor ancestral background to imagine the power that flows from this place. Many do not realize it, but they possess extraordinary mental acuity because of their heritage. It often takes many seasons, feelings, and deep self-knowledge to access this gift, which comes from God. I am no prophet; I speak only from eighty-one years of living and observing. I am not easily fooled anymore. The trees no longer block my view of the forest. As someone of both Native American and African heritage, I have been blessed to view life from more than one dimension. I understand that my insights come from my genetic and personal experiences, and I am wise enough to know that much of what we observe in the physical realm is malleable—easily influenced by mental processes most people struggle to comprehend. Some sense this, but have not fully embraced it. When we speak of consequences, many assume the reference is to negative outcomes. This is often true, but not always. Some see slavery only as a horrendous evil—and it was, especially for those who endured it. Yet there were also unforeseen outcomes that are invisible to the untutored eye. Could it be that slavery indirectly contributed to the development of AI? Consider Elijah McCoy, whose ingenuity gave us the phrase “the real McCoy.” Consider VOIP technology, which we use daily, often without knowing its origins. Countless vaccines and medical innovations created by Black inventors have saved humanity from diseases like polio and more. Know Not That They Know Not Some people are merely misinformed; others are ignorant. Even the misinformed feel comfortable in their beliefs because they have been programmed by the projections of a few. They accept these projections as naturally as a fish accepts water. They are like children: they know not, but they can be taught. There are great benefits to believing the projections because the physical rewards are visible and immediate. This is understandable. The ignorant are asleep. They know, but know not that they know. They require an awakening. For many Somalians in Minnesota, that awakening is coming in the form of the threat of deportation. Those who do not believe the projections, yet embrace them anyway for personal gain, are the ones who know not that they know not. They behave foolishly. These are people like Tim, Byron, and Clarence. Yet one should not call his brother a fool. Contrarily, some believe them to be only opportunist. Did They Fool Themselves? With all the new technology humans possess—to uncover lies, spread lies, and deceive—will some continue believing that the physical dimension is dominant and that they can control all this technology? Do they still believe they can control other human beings indefinitely through false projections, lies, and deceit? Did they drink their own poison? Can they truly believe they can maintain control through fear of imprisonment, illusions of grandeur, and threats of physical harm—using technologies created by the very people they now attempt to dominate? We shall see.

Many times, it has been eloquently stated in many ways that we cannot tell goodness of the pudding until we eat it. Once we eat the pudding then we will know. Jesus kept His Father’s love on the throne of His heart, all the way to the cross. Still, he asked God why he should drink of this cup.  It is obvious that later he understood that the will of God was more important. The Beneficiaries of deceit After reading about the Crucifixion of Jesus I have no doubt that God had provided something good thereby. I gleaned among other things that God was providing us wisdom to understand that human beings were selfish and flawed. They could be easily influenced by religious power, and wealth. This led me to beg the question who the beneficiaries of the crucifixion of Christ were.  I had to wonder what I would have done, knowing what I know now if I were among the congregation at the crucifixion. Would I have asked who would benefit from Jesus’ Crucifixion. I am convinced that God knows best.  My existence is evidence of this fact. I have not been able to find scripture, or any other document created by humans that provides evidence to show any incident throughout the annals of time more horrific than the Transatlantic slave trade. One must ask from whence did the resilience come to endure such an event for such an extended period. They too, understood that the will of God was of utmost importance. How could such an event affect the mentality of so many people for so long? Deception! Does Human Sacrifice Bring Spiritual Blessings? I am, thank God, NOT a bigot or a racist. I believe however that events in the physical dimension can alter humans to believe things that are not true causing them enormous grief. One must ask, nonetheless, how many times people fettered to bondage have asked God why they should drink from this cup. Great things happened because of the Crucifixion of Jesus. Will great things happen because of the human bondage of some unique black people that some believed were even more horrific that the Crucifixion of Jesus? If we can believe that the entire Planet was enlightened to TRUTH by Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, and that God is just and good, then it would not be unreasonable to assume that bondage of black people would not also provide benefits to all humanity. It is only a matter of time. This is why I am sharing this information this morning. What about TRUTH Our attitude toward the truth determines the outcome of our lives. If we don’t love the truth, if we resist it, we resist salvation. But if we  do  love the truth then we embrace salvation and we receive the reward: the crown of life. If this is a true statement, then why do so many people default to deception? Some of us are blessed, as we have walked through the proverbial “shadow of the valley of death” either in real-time or through our genetic makeup.  We are genetically endowed by the long suffering of our ancestors. We are endowed also by projections perpetrated upon us continually through the same dictates, and by the same reasons why Jesus was crucified on the cross, because greed, power, and the fear of losing unfounded prestige. The Proof is in the Eating It may look good, smell good, feel good, sound good, or even taste good with a simple lick of the tongue. Until it has been digested its goodness is still unknown. Those that have endured hardship know exactly what it is like. Those born with silver spoons in their mouths will never know. They have only experienced feast; famine has been out of the question. They have never drunk from that cup. They can only speculate, and their speculation is steered by events of the physical dimension exclusively that they eroneously perceive to be sublime. Others that have tasted the pudding, or drunk from the bitter cup, have wisdom that is misunderstood, but cannot be denied. If one has occasioned unbearable physical pain for a season, God has provided them an escape mechanism to endure this pain if they can understand as did Jesus, that God’s will is sublime. These are the people that can bite their lips and endure the trips. They understand, as did Jesus, that their sacrifices are for good in the future. These are the people that could sing, dance, and enjoy their lives despite their limitations in that particular season that they understood to be only temporary. They dumped the experiences of their longsuffering into the genes of their offspring with faith, and no doubt, understanding that God’s purposes are good. Perusing Different Dimensions People that have endured hardships for a variety of seasons, amounts known by God exclusively, at some point, recognize the purpose for their conditions in the physical realm.  They are blessed with the wherewithal to engage dimensions unobtainable by those that have not drank from this cup. They are blessed to go to the top of the mountain and see down into the valley. They can indulge dimensions unseen by others. They understand, as did the Apostle Paul, that things that are “seen” are “temporary”, and things like the mental and spiritual realms are everlasting. They know TRUTH from fantasy, unlike those bereft of these blessings, and wisdom garnered by humiliation and long suffering. Many have seen the crooked cross and the burning cross. These versions of a cross are frightening for some.  It is evident that these two crosses are designed to provoke fear but have enabled some to acquire enhanced flexibility to engage dimensions only accessible by them to further understand the will of God.  Fear is designed in the physical realm to affect emotions within the mental realm.  Those that have mastered mental and spiritual dimensions are now greatly strengthened by fear, enabling them to perform positive, but stealthy actions that can alter the physical dimension seamlessly. Did Our Ship Arrive? Some have become masters at changing sordid narratives for the good of all humanity. Those unfamiliar with these blessings are clueless of what is occurring. It is becoming more apparent as the seasons change. As they did on Calvary, they chose a criminal over an honest person. Apostle Paul stated that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. Those with wisdom of a jaybird can understand that faith is promulgated within the mental dimension and it provides a portal to the spiritual dimension.  Faith Vs Doubt Most understand that faith and doubt are tenants of the mental dimension. If one is unable to think, truly neither faith nor doubt can occur. If one thinks in a fashion that is not pleasurable to God, then there is doubt. This is why it is so important for us to understand the dynamics of the mental realm. Both the mental and spiritual dimensions are “not seen.” Many observing is now realizing that the humiliation, and long suffering of their ancestors are dumped into their genetic makeup and becoming the catalyst to enlighten the Planet about the virtues of TRUTH once again. Thank God! Stay vigilant!

Deception of the Physical We are not confined to the physical realm—yet many live as if it is the only truth. The physical dimension is fleeting, a projection of temporary energy. But the mental  and spiritual  dimensions are everlasting , and they hold the keys to wisdom, resilience, and redemption. Those who manipulate physical energy through lies, violence, and control may dominate bodies—but they cannot conquer the eternal. Mental and spiritual energies cannot be erased , only awakened or corrupted. Beware : When belief systems are hijacked, when ancestral wisdom is buried, when suffering is ignored, we risk losing access to the very dimensions that make us whole. The legacy of bondage—physical and mental—still echoes in our genes. It is not forgotten. It is alive . Reject the illusion  of permanence in the physical. Resist the invasion  of your unseen dimensions. Restore the balance  by converting negative energy into positive force. Your ancestors endured unimaginable pain, yet they danced, sang, and dreamed in the mental realm. That energy lives in you. This is your warning : If you continue to live only in the physical, you will misunderstand the world unfolding before your eyes. But if you awaken to the unseen, you will inherit the truth—and the power—to transform it.

Marines Snapping In It all started with Jesse, a friend from many seasons’ past. I would be slipping if I failed to recollect the experiences we shared. I met both John and Jesse on the same day. I was about thirteen years old. Jesse was about three years older than I, and John about two. They were brothers. Jesse was the leader. He was much taller than John and me, and in that season, we valued height as an indicator of strength. Jesse taught us how to pick blackberries, hull walnuts, and gather fruits and berries of all types. We joined the Boy Scouts on the same day. He taught us the tricks of the trade. Jesse was our leader. Jesse was about eighteen years old when he joined the Army. When he came home on leave, he was a sight for sore eyes. He looked so strong and handsome in his military uniform until his sight exclusively convinced me to be desirous of joining the service when I became of age.  Jesse was fond of my sister, and it appeared that they established a plutonic romantic relationship. This relationship came to an abrupt halt on a very sorrowful day. My friend Jesse was mysteriously killed at Fort Bragg North Carolina while he was training to become a paratrooper. His death was devastation to our entire coalfield community. There were later rumors that Jesse had been basically crucified. Later we learned that the rumors were true. I can never expunge the memory of Jesse, or John from my mind. Fantasy became a reality. A few years had passed, and I found myself in boot camp at Paris Island South Carolina. We were learning to use our firearms. In that season, Marines were required to go through a process called “snapping in”. The snapping in process was straight forward. We were taught to hold our rifles in different positions, the prone position, off hand position, etc. For about four hours a day, for one week we would simply aim our rifles at a simulated black target placed upon a white plank about four inches wide installed a few yards in front of us. We learned to aim at the target, "squeeze the trigger until the hammer falls without the shooter's knowledge", for example.  Before we were allowed to carry live ammunition on the rifle range, we were required to go through the snapping in process. We were boots, not Marines at this time. Therefore, we were not respected by others that had completed boot camp. I baffled myself about why, but while I was lying in the prone position going through the snap in drill, one of the training coaches leaned down and whispered into my ear. He stated that he was a member of the Klan and that when I was sleeping in the barracks, he and his friends would come and take me from the barracks and hang me. I was very upset.  Thoughts of Jesse haunted me. For about three nights, I did not sleep. I locked and loaded my 45 pistol, attached my bayonet to my M14 rifle, and inserted a nine-round clip. I did not mention the incident to anyone. I did not know who to trust. I simply waited in total fear. Thank God nothing occurred in the physical dimension, but my mind had blown a gasket. The mental dimension consumed me. I could only think of Jesse, and Jennis, another friend of mine that was mysteriously killed up in the holler one year after I met John and Jessie. Visions of other events passed through my mind also. I thought about the horrors of slavery shared with me by my father. He always talked about the strength and resilience of my grandfather who was in bondage up until the age of 14 years. I searched my spirit and I miraculously discovered a process to transcend this negative experience into something extremely powerful. This event changed my life up until now, sixty-seven years later. I have learned the process of how to transfer negative energy into a positive resolve. Some may believe that I'm just a luny old man, because I talk about this subject repeatedly. I'm fully aware of the fact that I harp on this all the time through my blogs and YouTube posts. I feel, however, things that I am sharing are of utmost importance, especially in the season in which we now reside. For me to access mental clarity, all that is necessary is for me to do is think in a certain way, and be congnizant of my abilities. When I do not remind myself that I possess this ability, I sometimes miss many opportunities. This is only human as the physical realm is dynamic. It entices us to continually go down the rabbit hole, but it is only temporary. It is NOT everlasting as are "things NOT seen", such as the mental and spiritual dimensions. Believe it or not, there are a minimum of at least three known dimensions. I can only provide advice on things that are proof positive in the mental dimension. I will leave the spiritual dimension to those more qualified. Neither, however, can be denied of their reality. I have learned the power of “things not seen” as addressed by the Apostle Paul in Hebrews, and Corinthians of the Kings James Version of the Bible. There are other ancestral beliefs that also shed light on mental acumens that are not so popular. This resourse of information is somewhat frightening for some to entertain. These are people tutored to moreso believe thing suggested by those with financial and political influence in the physical realm. I’m only sharing. I am not attempting to sell anything other than TRUTH.  It was some of the Saudcees, and Pharacees that influenced the congregation to crucify Jesus. Think about it. Humility, and long suffering, bring about extraordinary mental acumens. It’s a natural fact, but difficult to understand by those tethered to the physical realm, exclusively. I vocally affirm my wisdom daily to remind myself of this glorious gift provided by God to all humanity. I thank God that we all have this ability. Once completely understood, the Planet will rejoice also! Peace and Joy to all...

Elijah McCoy, (The Real McCoy) Some believe that many people are leaving the church. It is difficult to know what is on the minds of others, but I can surmise. My concept of the crucifixion of Christ is somewhat different from that of others. I imagine that God used this horrific event for multiple purposes. Contrary to the beliefs of some, the lesson that I learned was to not allow the controlling physical powers separate me from the Spirit of God . The Warning Pontius Pilate was warned by a spirit that Jesus had done no wrong. He therefore washed his hands of condemning Jesus to death and left this infamous task to the congregation. It was the religious and political leaders who enticed the people to crucify Jesus. The congregation was given three choices. Two of the choices were obvious criminals who had committed heinous acts. The third was a man who had done no wrong—one whose mission was to lead the congregation in pleasing God. It was the Pharisees and Sadducees who led the chant for the people to crucify Jesus, whom some believed to be the Son of God. The religious authorities and political figures believed that Jesus was infringing upon their power. This power struggle has given me great wisdom. Calvary was not exclusive. If we are observant, it is not difficult to see that people have always been reluctant to relinquish their physical authority, even to the will of God. Our country is now enduring extraordinary physical growing pangs because some are so tethered to the physical dimension until they miss the glory of God. Thank God many are being awakened by the struggles of others that came before them. They are now wise enough to vet their leaders more critically than before. This could be one of the reasons so many are leaving the churches. What do I know? Wisdom Beyond the Physical His first name was Saul, but after his journey on the road to Damascus, he became Paul. When he was Saul, he was essentially a bounty hunter. His job was to capture followers of Jesus, namely the disciples. The events on the road to Damascus relate not only to the apostle Paul—whose dramatic conversion occurred there—but also provide a clear picture of the conversion of all believers. While some have an extraordinarily dramatic conversion known as a “Damascus Road experience,” the transformation of all believers follows a pattern similar to Paul’s encounter described in Acts 9:1–9, Acts 22:6–11, and Acts 26:9–20. On the road to Damascus, Saul was on his way to arrest followers of Jesus when he encountered a bright light and heard a voice asking, “Why are you persecuting Me?” This moment transformed him from a fierce persecutor of Christians into a devoted apostle of Jesus. After this vision, he was temporarily blinded and required assistance to continue his journey. In Damascus, Ananias guided him, restored his sight, and baptized him. This event marked a pivotal moment in the early Christian church, illustrating the power of divine revelation and the potential for complete personal transformation. After his conversion, Paul taught that the things we see in the physical dimension are temporary, while the things not seen—mental and spiritual—are everlasting. For many seasons, I have relied upon Paul’s wisdom to guide me. His words have taught me to be skeptical of the physical realm. Throughout my adult life, I have searched for concrete evidence of Paul’s assertions. Over my eighty-one seasons in this physical world, I have found many examples in which Paul’s wisdom has profoundly strengthened my life. The Real McCoy I am only one generation removed from slavery. My grandfather was enslaved, and my grandmother on my father’s side was Creek Native American. I have received enormous wisdom from this lineage. I understand why they danced and sang during the most horrific seasons ever known to humanity. No chapters or verses in any religious doctrine can fully describe suffering more extreme than the Transatlantic Slave Trade or the Trail of Tears. I carry genetic memory from both. Something miraculous happens when a person’s physical body is enslaved and tortured for many seasons. God provides a mechanism for refuge. If we have faith in God and believe that God is good, then the reason for this is not difficult to understand. The blessing I have observed is that people who endure horrific physical intrusion often pass down a form of spiritual wisdom to their descendants. This inherited wisdom is invisible but accessible through faith, nonetheless many go through their entire lives unaware of this extraordinary ability. That is why I am sharing this today. I hope and believe that the wisdom that I share today will enlighten the Planet to understand the blessing that we all possess. These blessings are not accessible through the physical senses, but are of extreme importance, especially in the season that we are now experiencing. If the Apostle Paul was correct when he said that “things seen came from things that did not appear,” then many will understand that I am not “just talking turkey” when I speak of converting negative energy into positive strength through mental transformation. When one inherits the energy born from the long suffering of their ancestors, I call it wisdom from the University of Hard Knocks . I began using this phrase in 1964, when Paul’s wisdom helped me qualify for cryptography school in the military—where I earned the highest score in the class. It was unfortunate for the United States, but still unusual for someone of my complexion, without a college degree, to be admitted to cryptography school in 1964. I was the only Black person in the class. My classmates constantly asked, “John, what college did you attend?” I would always answer sarcastically, “The University of Hard Knocks!", as I reached for straws. Most assumed it was some obscure school in West Virginia. They took me literally, and I would laugh to myself. The University of Hard Knocks is not a physical college—it is a mental one. It has provided me with wisdom unattainable anywhere else on Earth. Like the Apostle Paul, I have no doubt that “things seen come from things that do not appear.” This wisdom is the result of many years of unimaginable ancestral and personal struggle. I do not require reparations. God has repaired me. I have my 40 acres. The mule was the most insulting part of the deception. Still, God is good . Never doubt it, regardless of the circumstance.God knows best.

Transend the Physical Introduction The Transatlantic Slave Trade remains one of the most catastrophic and consequential events in recorded human history. Spanning roughly from the early 16th to the late 19th centuries, it forcibly removed over 12 million Africans  from their homelands and transported them across the Atlantic to the Americas and the Caribbean. The psychological, cultural, and spiritual consequences of this mass dehumanization continue to shape global consciousness. While traditional narratives emphasize the physical enslavement of African peoples, a broader examination reveals a dual legacy: physical enslavement  imposed through brutal systems of labor, and mental enslavement  perpetuated through ideological, cultural, and religious manipulation. Understanding both forms of bondage provides a fuller perspective of the human condition and the continuing struggle for liberation. Identifying the Culprits The primary agents of the Transatlantic Slave Trade were European colonial powers —notably Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, and the Netherlands —whose imperial economies depended on the extraction of resources and the exploitation of human labor. Merchants, investors, and monarchs across Europe financed the trade, while African intermediaries, often coerced or incentivized, participated in its logistics under colonial pressure. It is historically inaccurate to attribute guilt to any one “race” or group alone. The trade was a complex, global economic system driven by capitalism, nationalism, and industrial demand. However, it was fundamentally rooted in European imperial ideology that rationalized enslavement through doctrines of racial hierarchy and religious justification. The Doctrine of Discovery , papal bulls such as Dum Diversas  (1452) , and later pseudo-scientific racism  provided moral and intellectual cover for slavery. These systems did not merely enslave bodies—they colonized minds. By shaping religion, education, and culture to justify exploitation, elites ensured that both the enslaved and the enslavers were bound to a distorted perception of reality. Mental and Spiritual Dimensions of Enslavement While the physical cruelties of slavery—forced labor, family separation, and violence—are well-documented, less often discussed is the psychological warfare  employed to maintain control. Enslaved Africans were systematically stripped of language, culture, and identity to erode self-conception. Historian Orlando Patterson  terms this phenomenon “social death,” wherein individuals are rendered culturally and spiritually invisible within the dominant society. However, despite attempts to annihilate African consciousness, enslaved people developed sophisticated mechanisms of mental and spiritual resistance . Through religion, song, folklore, and communal solidarity, they reimagined freedom even within captivity. The rise of spirituals, coded communication, and the retention of African cosmologies  represented profound acts of cognitive defiance—what W.E.B. Du Bois later described as the “double consciousness” of African-descended people navigating both African heritage and imposed Western identities. Faith, Resistance, and Psychological Escape Faith became a double-edged instrument during enslavement. Enslavers used Christianity to legitimize bondage, selectively quoting scriptures such as Ephesians 6:5 (“Servants, obey your masters”) to pacify the enslaved. Simultaneously, enslaved Africans reinterpreted the same faith through a liberatory lens, identifying with biblical narratives of Exodus and deliverance . This spiritual reappropriation provided psychological escape and endurance. The belief that suffering in this world would be redeemed in the next, or that divine justice would one day overturn oppression, fostered resilience and hope. The emergence of Black liberation theology , centuries later, is a direct intellectual descendant of these early spiritual rebellions. Technology, Control, and the Modern Continuation of Enslavement While chattel slavery was legally abolished in the 19th century, many scholars—such as Michelle Alexander  in The New Jim Crow  and Achille Mbembe  in Necropolitics —argue that systems of control have evolved rather than disappeared. The mental enslavement once imposed by religion and ideology has, in the modern age, been replaced by technological manipulation, economic dependency, and information control. Surveillance technologies, data exploitation, and artificial intelligence, if unchecked, can replicate colonial dynamics by concentrating power in the hands of the few and shaping collective consciousness through algorithmic bias. The contemporary “enslavement of the mind” thus becomes a digital phenomenon—rooted in the same impulses of domination and deception that fueled the slave trade. Lessons from the Enslaved: Toward a New Consciousness The enslaved peoples of the Atlantic world were not merely victims; they were profound teachers of human adaptability, creativity, and spiritual depth. From Haitian Vodou  to African-American spirituals , from the maroon communities of Jamaica and Brazil  to the abolitionist movements  that arose across the Atlantic, they developed modes of resistance that transcended physical limitations. The intergenerational transmission of trauma and resilience—documented in fields such as epigenetics and transgenerational psychology —suggests that the experiences of both suffering and survival have become encoded in human biology. The same genetic and cultural memory that bore the weight of slavery now carries the wisdom of liberation. We are entering what might be called the Age of Mentality : an era in which the emancipation of thought and consciousness is the next frontier of human freedom. Just as the abolition of physical slavery required collective moral awakening, so too does the dismantling of mental enslavement demand education, empathy, and self-knowledge. Conclusion The Transatlantic Slave Trade was not only an economic enterprise but also a global experiment in the control of human consciousness. Understanding its physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions enables humanity to confront ongoing systems of domination in new forms. Freedom, therefore, is not merely the absence of chains—it is the mastery of one’s own mind. As we continue to reckon with the legacy of slavery, we must learn from those who transformed suffering into wisdom and bondage into spiritual strength. Only through such understanding can humanity transcend its past and reimagine its future.

Physical Perspective Some avoid discussing it. Others understand why it is important to do so. When fully understood, the Transatlantic Slave Trade can be considered one of the most consequential and devastating events in human history. The human suffering that resulted from this tragic period is unprecedented. Some people were enslaved physically, while many others—both then and now—became enslaved mentally. Today, both groups are recognizing the importance of understanding what truly occurred. Those affected mentally were often unconscious of their harm and its source, while those enslaved physically learned to transcend their material suffering by accessing deeper mental and spiritual dimensions. Humanity now faces the challenge of understanding how our mental and spiritual awareness shapes our physical existence. Who Were the Culprits? The perpetrators of slavery are well-documented. Yet, some remain in denial or continue to distort the truth—whether for self-aggrandizement, power, or greed. Many individuals have historically done anything to satisfy their material desires, often dismissing or ignoring the reality of deeper dimensions of human experience. Some argue that only the wealthy and powerful were responsible. Others, incorrectly, attribute guilt to one race alone. In truth, the Transatlantic Slave Trade involved many participants across nations and races, though it was driven primarily by European colonial powers and supported by complicit systems of commerce and control. What matters most now is understanding that deception and exploitation—whether physical or mental—have long been tools of domination. Those who are wise recognize that these manipulations were designed to control both the minds and bodies of humanity. Upgrades for All Dimensions People tethered solely to the physical dimension often find it difficult to grasp that other dimensions of existence—mental, emotional, and spiritual—also shape human life. For many, comfort or aspiration in the material world has obscured awareness of these higher planes. Others have misused the concepts of spiritual or mental growth to glorify materialism, creating cults and institutions that elevate physical power and wealth over true wisdom. With the rise of modern technologies—such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital surveillance tools like Pegasus—new forms of control have emerged. For a time, these forces have succeeded in shaping global consciousness to align with materialistic values, effectively enslaving the minds of many. Yet, as the Earth evolves, so too do all dimensions of human understanding. During slavery, those in physical bondage were forced to explore non-physical dimensions of survival—developing spiritual resilience and psychological insight that would later guide generations toward liberation. Escape Mechanisms Many enslaved people turned to faith in God as their most powerful tool for endurance. Through prayer, song, and spiritual communion, they found strength to survive the unbearable. However, this deep faith was sometimes exploited by those who enslaved them—distorting religion to justify oppression and shift blame onto the oppressed themselves. The greed and hunger for power among slaveholders led them to manipulate every available belief system to expand their wealth and control. But truth has a way of surfacing. The same systems built on deceit are now being exposed, and humanity is beginning to witness the consequences of such long-standing corruption. The oppressed and the deceived alike are awakening. Those once mentally enslaved by false narratives are realizing their bondage was psychological. Meanwhile, those whose ancestors suffered physical enslavement developed mental and spiritual tools that allowed them to transcend their pain. These lessons of inner liberation are now available to all. Now We All Have Access Those once enslaved by mental deception are awakening to reality. Why? Because the powerful and influential are running out of both tools and fools. Despite their efforts to control the planet through technological and economic domination, they fail to understand that consciousness itself has evolved—and higher dimensions of awareness cannot be conquered by material means. For centuries, powerful people have used unseen mechanisms of control—propaganda, ideology, and manipulation—to shape perception. Only God knows how many have been harmed by these deceptions. Yet throughout history, prophets, shamans, and visionaries have warned that the visible world is shaped by invisible forces. Ironically, those in power often twisted such wisdom to further their own control. Now, as the saying goes, “the chickens have come home to roost.” Humanity is witnessing the cruelty that can arise when technological power is concentrated in the hands of a few. Even those who once benefited from these systems are realizing they, too, were enslaved—mentally and spiritually. They are rediscovering ancient truths: that no true feast can exist unless all are fed, and that all human beings are spiritual entities navigating a physical existence. Some have inherited, through generations of resilience, the ability to transcend suffering by transforming the mind. The traumas and triumphs of both physical and mental enslavement have encoded survival and wisdom into the human experience. This collective memory now offers a path toward reclaiming our shared humanity. We are entering a new age— the Age of Mentality —in which freedom of the mind will determine the future of the soul.

Hidden studies Revealing Hidden Truths: Gene Mutations, Slavery, and the Legacy of Henrietta Lacks For over seventy years, Henrietta Lacks' immortalized blood cells have baffled the medical community, leaving an indelible mark on science. Yet, a more profound revelation about humanity has recently emerged. A groundbreaking 150-year research effort, driven by independent and dedicated scholars, has unveiled significant gene mutations that can be directly traced to the inhumane treatment endured by African slaves during the transatlantic slave trade. Unlike government-led studies or those conducted by elite medical institutions, this research is notable for its transparency and commitment to truth. The motives behind this work—to preserve and uplift humanity—have ensured its integrity, even in the face of skepticism. As the Apostle Paul wisely noted, "Things seen are temporal; things not seen are everlasting." I share this information to calm the fears many currently experience, believing that understanding these findings will ultimately bring hope and clarity. The Source of Discovery You may wonder about the origins of these revelations. The answer is simple: "Organic." For centuries, Black people have relied on ancestral knowledge and lived experience to interpret truths more accurately than those who, historically, have manipulated or suppressed vital findings. During the American slave trade, powerful institutions sought to maintain the status quo, projecting false narratives onto Black people while profiting from their exploitation. This deliberate misinformation became entrenched and passed down through generations to uphold systemic inequities. The dishonesty of these institutions is a stark violation of nature’s moral code. Human beings have long recognized the value of truth for the welfare of their descendants. Yet, America’s historical deception has polluted global perceptions, even persuading some Black individuals to internalize these distortions. Despite these challenges, Black people have consistently observed and documented critical findings, often choosing to safeguard their knowledge against misuse or exploitation. The Role of Knowledge in Resistance For centuries, Black people in America have understood the scrutiny they face from prestigious institutions. Significant discoveries about their unique abilities have been often cloaked in secrecy to prevent exploitation or preserve cultural legacies. Some have chosen silence out of fear, while others have withheld their findings for self-protection or strategic reasons. The connection between slavery, labor exploitation, and America’s wealth has long been apparent to Black people. The assumption that intelligence correlates with appearance has perpetuated harmful stereotypes, enabling the persistence of systemic oppression. However, the global community is beginning to recognize the brilliance and resilience of Black individuals, challenging these false narratives. A Personal Legacy My journey into this exploration began in my youth. At five or six years old, I learned from my father that my grandfather had been brought to America on a slave ship. My father often shared vivid accounts of slavery, including harrowing details about the bullwhip and the "cat o’ nine tails," tools of punishment and control. His stories revealed not only the cruelty of slavery but also the extraordinary resilience of those who endured it. One story that left an indelible impression was about my grandfather, who survived a brutal flogging that left him physically altered but spiritually unbroken. His experience shaped my admiration for his strength and determination. Similarly, my grandmother—a Creek Native American—carried her legacy of resilience, often recounting the pain of the Trail of Tears. Unveiling the Causes and Effects of Slavery For the past 65 years, I have devoted my life to studying the causes and effects of slavery. My research has been enriched by conversations with elderly Black people, ancestral wisdom practitioners, and African history scholars. Much of this knowledge remains unshared out of respect for the elders who entrusted me with it and their concerns about potential misuse. The ancient cultures of Kemet and Ethiopia have mainly influenced my understanding. These civilizations offer profound insights into humanity's spiritual and intellectual heritage, which enslaved Africans preserved despite systemic efforts to erase it. A Call to Action This journey is far from complete. The truths I’ve uncovered must be revealed incrementally, allowing time for reflection and understanding. As the world grapples with the weight of these revelations, embracing the wisdom of the past is vital to guide the future. Stay tuned for more insights, which I will share through blogs, YouTube, and the forthcoming platform at age of mentality .com . Together, we can uncover the layers of history and celebrate the enduring contributions of African heritage to humanity.
