Wrestling With Evil Part 2
Wrestling Against Evil Part 2

“For
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
Last week we explored the notion of evil in the world and
how our African Ancestors grappled with the concept of evil, its origins and
nature. We also shared modern examples of evil in the form of menticide the
deliberate attempt to destroy a people’s mind and showed how technology is
being used to affect our brains and “lifestyle” choices in harmful ways.
The creators and developers of social media knew the
adverse impact this technology would have on us but they created it and
promoted it anyway! This is immoral, it is evil. They knew the addictive
physiological effects of social media but monopolized and monetized it anyway
to further their own agenda which by the way is not about merely making a
profit. These misanthropes want to control us and have created a means to
achieve their aims.
Social media is just as addictive as smoking, gambling,
sexual promiscuity or drugs and they know it. They know social media usage induces
biochemical changes in our brains and they exploit this for their own ends.
“How oxytocin works. This neurotransmitter is produced in the
hypothalamus, the brain’s hormone factory, and stored in the pituitary gland. It
plays an essential role in childbirth and breastfeeding, so, for decades, it
was considered only a woman thing. However, both men and women have this
chemical — women just typically have higher levels.
In 2004, scientists began studying oxytocin’s effects in humans. Researchers
found that oxytocin is released into our bodies and brains during positive
social interactions of all kinds. It reduces activity in the amygdala, the part
of the brain responsible for anxiety and fear. And it makes positive
social interactions rewarding, so it’s no surprise that it plays a central role
in developing trust. Oxytocin also contributes to the bond between parents and
children, in romantic love, and even in relationship between humans and
their pets. While oxytocin stimulates those positive emotions, it’s
also a hormone that travels through the bloodstream and provides loads of
health benefits, such as reduced stress and inflammation and a boosted immune
system. It also just plain old makes us feel good.” The Effects of Social
Media on the Brain- And What it Means for Business, Laura Moss https://everyonesocial.com/blog/effects-of-social-media-on-the-brain/
The
social media creators and algorithm programmers know what they are doing; they
know they are creating addiction to the technology, to social media and the
content. They know that social media is directly impacting parts of our brain
and the resulting emotions and attitudes from social media usage. They know
many are substituting social media interaction for real life, real time, person
to person interaction which is not good.
They are using the feel good
hormones to get people addicted to social media! Despite the infusion of
hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, the so called feel good hormones, social
media programmers are a lot like drug dealers fostering an epidemic of
addiction on an unsuspecting public. This is immoral and their actions are
having negative consequences on society both personally and collectively. They
are engaged in menticide the deliberate destruction of a people’s mind.
What can we do about this? Plenty,
we have agency we have choice, we have the power of discernment and we can
always alter our habits and behaviors. Technology is ubiquitous in today’s
culture but that doesn’t mean it has to totally consume or dominate our lives.
We have one thousand four hundred forty minutes in a day; we can choose how we
use them. We can choose to go for walks in nature; we can choose to become
engaged in projects that genuinely benefit ourselves and others. We can choose
to meditate to be mindful and present, right now. We can choose to personally
interact with our loved ones face to face. We can choose to spend our time
wisely not consuming hours and hours of TV or eyeballing social media.
We are in a war, a war for our
minds and our very souls. We are in a struggle against evil, avarice and
tyranny. Social media algorithm programmers don’t care about our health or our well
being, why should we spend so much of our valuable time mindlessly consuming
their products?!
The social media creators are like
the tobacco growers and cigarette manufactures who knew their products were
harmful but lied about it until they were forced to admit it, fuss up and print
warning labels on their packages. They
are like Big Pharma, the monopoly media and government who lied about mRNA injections
being a safe and effective therapy against COVID but now are asking for amnesty.
They are now falsely claiming they didn’t know the technology wasn’t what they
claimed it to be even though they’ve been forced to admit they didn’t test mRNA
sufficiently in the first place!
Social media is a complex issue.
Yes the Internet is a tool but how are you using it? Are you using it for your
edification, for productivity or are you a stone cold junkie, poisoning your
mind with content designed to induce you to: buy, believe or be what the
programmers want rather than what is best for you?
Do some research on algorithmic
radicalization and neuro-economics to find out how we are being manipulated and
programmed by social media. We are in contention for our minds and our very
essence; begin to act like the person of power you are and not an addicted
Zombie.

Wrestling With Evil Part 1
Wrestling Against Evil Part 1
Junious Ricardo

“For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. Wherefore
take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:12-13
Humans have long pondered the origin
and nature of evil and wrong-doing, trying to fathom the origin of in the world.
Various ethnic groups, tribes and cultures have attempted to give reason for
the existence of malevolent behavior and actions, they have tried to
practically deal with the negative ramifications of evil in society. By evil I
am not referring to calamities or misfortunes that befall mankind but rather
the behaviors and actions committed by humans against the well being, stability
and safety of the community and the environment.
Our ancient African ancestors viewed
the world from a spiritual perspective postulating that consciousness;
energies/spirits permeated the universe and are interwoven throughout all
creation. Evil then had its roots in spirit. Evil itself is not of God or THE
CREATOR but exists in the world the result of a mix of spiritual (invisible)
and human (visible) causes. “The Yoruba trace the perpetration of
evil in a society to two sources: namely, visible and invisible causes. The
visible ones are the consequence of human action or inaction. These include
murder, violence, oppression, victimization, stealing, and refusal to help
those in need. Invisible sources have a spiritual origin…Yoruba religion
exonerates God from the blame of evil and misfortune that befall human beings.
The problem of evil is attributed to the concept of ori (head) and akunleyan
(fate). It is held that whatever one asked for in front of eleda (creator)
before one was born becomes one’s ayanmo (lot or destiny) in life. Therefore,
whatever happens to one depends on one’s choice of ori when one was making
one’s choice (akunleyan)” Encyclopedia of African Religion Molefi Kete Asante
and Ama Mazama
Page 249-50
Today in
our society we are experiencing evil on every level. Immorality, wickedness and
corruption have metastasized throughout our world from the local to the
national and international levels. In the Black community we see, a rampage of
evil: murders, shootings, hit and run, home invasions, robbery theft and a
general pall of immorality, incivility and lawlessness. It is as if a large
percentage of our people have lost their minds, and we have.
This process was not organic; we
did not all of a sudden become irrational, immoral or suffer brain damage. Much
of this has been induced; it is what the late great psychologist Dr. Bobby Wright
called menticide. Menticide is the deliberate
attempt to destroy a people’s mind. The
Dictionary of Psychology says this about menticide: “literally mind murder,
brainwashing, the systematic attempt to break down one’s beliefs, attitudes and
allegiances in favor of the ultimate adoption of those of another.”
This is what is happening to us
today, it is evil and it is deliberate! The human perpetrators of this
wickedness know what they are doing; they know and anticipate the consequences
of their malevolent actions. We have long known the adverse effects of
television on the human brain, “While much
research has been done on television’s effects on children, adults have often
been left out of these data collections. It’s no surprise that the sedentary
behavior of binge-watching TV can negatively impact our physical health, but
recent studies show it’s also a bad habit for long-term brain health and
function. Studies have also found a link between high television
consumption and the onset of depression.” Is Binge Watching TV Bad for Your
Brain? https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/HealthU/2022/08/10/Is-Binge-Watching-TV-Bad-for-Your-Brain
As
bad a TV watching is, binging on Social Media and Internet content is even
worse. Social media impacts our brains in ways we are totally unaware of but
the engineers, designers and programmers know what is happening. “Many people
have been aware of the negative effects on mental health caused by social
media, but people often neglect to look further into how social media is
programmed. Platforms have designed their apps to target a part of the brain
many people are unaware of. This part of the brain is known as the ventral
striatum. When humans experience a social reward, a rush of dopamine and
oxytocin is experienced, or in medical terms, a positive intermittent
reinforcement. Receiving the positive feeling of dopamine creates an
unconscious habit. By using psychological methods to create an addiction
to social media platforms, companies are able to increase interactiveness on
apps which benefits them economically. Significant interaction with
social media platforms caused a 151% increase in suicide among
middle-school-age girls. More effects from social media usage include
alienation, election hacking, inability to focus on current issues, and mass
chaos due to fake news. Therefore, social media negatively affects
people.” How Social Media Companies Consciously Affect Society, Allie Daudelin https://bfamercury.org/6152/opinion/distracted-by-distraction-by-distraction-t-s-elliot-how-social-media-companies-consciously-
Underlined emphasis is mine.
This
is deliberate on the part of the creators of social media; they know what they
are doing. This is unvarnished evil! We will explore this deeper in future
articles. Needless to say we need to monitor our media, legacy and digital,
consumption and balance it with positive real world engagement and interaction.

Martin Luther King Jr. vs. The Great Reset
Martin Luther King Jr. vs The Great Reset
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
"I am convinced that if
we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must
undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a
‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. When machines and
computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important
than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are
incapable of being conquered." -- Martin Luther King
As we pause to celebrate the ninety-forth anniversary of
the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. perhaps we should ponder and contemplate
what Martin Luther King Jr would say about current events, the war in Ukraine,
COVID lockdowns and the insane income and wealth gaps that currently exist. We
know that King railed against the war in Southeast Asia and was planning a Poor
People’s Campaign with massive demonstrations and live-in in Washington D.C.
His goal was to raise awareness about the entrenched socio-economic inequities
in America and to force the
government to change its priorities and policies when he was shot down in Memphis Tennessee
on April 4, 1968.
What would King’s positions be on these issues and topics
in 2023? As an older man what would King’s approach be to addressing and
attempting to solve the existential issues of the day? If we look at what he
said then, can we extrapolate what his positions might be today on the issues
of war, greed, avarice, poverty and in this modern era transhumanism? Would he
be censored, deplatformed and silenced like so many others? Would he be
silenced by a bullet or an injection supposedly to mitigate a virus?
Unlike the ‘60’s when there was: free speech, the right
to peacefully, assemble, protest and dissent; today’s authoritarian environment
would offer major challenges to a man of conscience and action like Martin
Luther King Jr. In all probability he would be cut off from mainstream media
access, denied a platform to speak to denounce the government’s actions
overseas and here at home. If he were on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and
Twitter he would in all likelihood be suspended and or deplatformed!
In 2023 he would be censored but unlike during
the 1950’s and ‘60’s when it was only the FBI and local police who incessantly monitored and tracked him electronically,
today Martin Luther King Jr. would be surveilled by the fascistic Deep State
meaning the, police, military,
intelligence community and corporate America! How would King address this country’s
ongoing metamorphosis into a fascist police state?
Would King have the same uncompromising courage today he
had in 1968? Would he be willing to stand virtually alone in 2023 against what
he called in 1968 the triplets of racism, materialism and militarism? In 2023
would King add eugenics, genocide and transhumanism to that group? What would
he say about them?!
King
was valiant, he was courageous but how would he be able to get his message out
in today’s environment of censorship and suppression? How would he use today’s
technology to organize and galvanize a following, raise consciousness and
exhort others to decisive action?
What would Martin Luther King Jr. say about Anthony
Fauci, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab and the other megalomaniacal plutocrats who are
conspiring to usurp the natural order, who are engaged in planetary
terraforming, transhumanism and attempting to disconnect us from our Divinity?!
What solutions would he offer to derail and checkmate their nefarious agenda?
Would today’s King challenge Klaus Schwab, the World
Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the CDC, FDA and the various
national governments like he challenged LBJ, the US Military Industrial Complex
and the American people to reorient their moral compass towards Peace, Love and
Brotherhood instead of war, greed, hedonism and covetousness? What would Martin
Luther King Jr. think of Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset? Would he call them out on
their hypocrisy, mendacity and disingenuousness?
Would
he tell them to give all their money to the poor, forsake megalomania and worldly
power and dedicate themselves totally to the service of humanity? Would a
ninety-four year old Martin Luther King Jr. be able to spark the radical
revolution of values he spoke so passionately and eloquently about in 1968 or
would his modern message fall on deaf ears?
Martin Luther King Jr. is not here for us to see, but we
still are. We can choose to allow the plutocrats to misdirect us to days of
service and temporarily doing good or we can make the difficult changes King
advocated, a change and shift of values. We can change from materialism,
desensitization and selfishness to core values of empathy, integrity, self and
collective transformation. Today is a good day to decide.

Keep It Light in 2023
Keep It Light in 2023
Junious Ricardo
Stanton
As we enter
this New Year, let’s work to improve our lives, our health, our wellbeing, our
relationships, our
community and prosperity during the coming year. We are living in tumultuous
times; we are bombarded with negative energy, images, words, propaganda and
indoctrination designed to make us afraid, pliable and submissive yet remain
unaware of an agenda created by people who do not have our best interests at
heart. We are programmed to vibrate and resonate on lower, more negative vibratory frequencies and it is negatively impacting our health and well being.
We are
being conditioned and programmed to exist in reactionary mode rather than
living on purpose, with intention and enthusiasm. We are doing an horrendous
disservice to ourselves, our ancestors, our progeny and THE CREATOR when we
acquiesce to the malevolent agenda of the psychopaths who want to control this
world. We have an obligation to ourselves not to fall for these misanthropes’
okey-doke and live our lives in ways that dishonor the real reason we came to
this plane and fail to accomplish the great work we were created to do!
We live in
a social environment that is not only too materialistic but one that is
aspiritual, unethical and immoral. This is having a lethal affect on us
mentally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. We can do better. But in
order to do better we have to believe and determined that we want to do and be
healthier, better, wiser, more loving and more prosperous.
We are not helpless or powerless.
We have agency and we have the will and the ability to change. Every day
provides a new opportunity for us to actualize our potential and become our
truest greatest self. We have the blueprint and roadmap to do it. Our ancient
African ancestors along the Nile
Valley left us a guide,
“A fundamental principle of Kamitic spirituality is that the well being of the
mind, body and life force (the soul) depends on the vitality and equilibrium of
the life force.” Ra Un Nefer Amen Kamitic
Success Achieving Health, Wealth and Happiness Through The Ageless Teachings of
Ancient Egypt
page 47.
How do we
bolster and invigorate our life force? What is the life force anyway? Our life
force is the animating energy that enlivens us, allows us to be alive, think,
visualize, move, do and accomplish. Our life force is pure energy and
consciousness and like all energy there are varying levels of potency. The Life
Force comes from THE CREATOR it is the “breath of life” infused in us upon
conception and jump started when we take our first breaths outside of our
mother’s womb. When we take our last breath the Life Force leaves the physical
body to return to THE SOURCE.
While we are alive, the Life Force
can wax and wane depending on various factors such as the type and quality of
food we eat, our physical and psychological environment and the thoughts we
think which trigger emotional responses! The Life Force contains its own
intelligence designed to keep the physical body healthy, protect it from harm
and heal it when it is injured. It does this without any conscious input from
us. The Africans of Kongo called the healing aspect of us, “the self-healing
power”. I suggest you get a copy or read Self-Healing
Power and Therapy Old Teachings from Africa by the late Kimbwandende Kia
Bunseki Fu-Kiau published by Vantage Press to see the full implications of this
essential part of ourselves. It tells us how to repair and energize it when it
wanes.
The Nile Valley
teachings which predate the Kongo wisdom teachings by thousands of years also
educate us how to keep this part of ourselves energized and positive by
regulating our breathing, our thoughts, emotions, words and actions (behavior).
“Every thought has two components; a thought and energy. The thought calls up
and directs the energy. Everyone that has failed at mastering their emotions
make the attempt to change the energy instead of the thought. The fundamental
reason resides in the human self-image concept which includes the belief that
emotions are natural and to deny them expression is therefore unnatural and
harmful.” Kamitic Success Achieving
Health Wealth and Happiness Through The Ageless Teachings of Ancient Egypt
Ra Un Nefer Amen page 48.
In essence
the timeless wisdom of our African ancestors taught us we can control our
thoughts and consequently our emotions; to raise our Life Force and enhance
it’s healing and sustaining powers. How? By proper breathing, eating nutritious
foods, keeping hydrated, getting ample sleep and rest, monitoring our thoughts,
mental images and ideation and substituting any thoughts of self-negation,
anger, envy, hatred and harm to self with thoughts of self love, healing,
health, and positivity. This is what our Ancient Nile
Valley ancestors meant
when they said “have a heart as light as a feather”; no worries, no fears, no
anger or negative emotions, be of good character in life. Then when one makes
transition his or her heart will be light and he or she will pass into the
higher realms exalted and honored.
We can do this we have the innate power to
elevate our thinking, our consciousness and our emotions thereby changing our
lives for the better. Keep it light in 2023.
