Builders Build

Peace, I am the Black seed LAking Allah.  I know that people may often wonder why we utilize the term “build” as opposed to talk or converse.  There are several reasons why; however I will share with you one of the more obvious understandings.  Build or destroy is the number 8 in the Supreme Mathematics.  Build means to add on positively or to construct.  Destroy means to break down or take away.  When the Gods suggest that we are building instead of just “talking” we are implying that we have something positive or useful for someone to listen to.  It is an unspoken agreement between parties that when Building is taking place that there is beneficial “trade that occurs.  In addition, in a simultaneous effort lack of information or misinformation is being destroyed.  Although this may be seen as a complex operation, it is simple enough for the youngest of minds to understand.  It is often said that the most building is accomplished during the simplest exchanges.  Building is imperative to growth and one does not happen without the other.  The exchange of information in the form of positive “add ons” is what has allowed our great nation to continue to thrive and grow.  Without the true builders that share our way of life, the Nation of Gods and Earths could be all but forgotten.  I would like to thank all the Builders as we continue on our quest to destroy the lack of pertinent knowledge that exist within the “free cipher.”  If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact me at  pushtv@live.com.  I look forward to hearing from you.

MATURITY

In today's society where adulthood and responsibility seem to be getting pushed further and further out into life, maturity is something that is always needed. The understanding that I must navigate in a world that may not be accepting of me or my ideals, and still I must continue and succeed, is crucial if we are to grow. Nothing makes you mature as quick as having a child. The older Gods in my nation used to rip into my a@$ heavily during some of my first trips to New York for not having children- and at the time I couldn't understand why! As I grew and when my Earth at the time gave birth to my seed- things became a lot clearer to me.


With every responsibility you attain comes the opportunity to mature and become more humble if you put these experiences in their proper perspective. I correspond and write to a few brothers who are incarcerated; below is a document that I received from one of them a while back. It is extremely truthful and very useful. Valuable information can come from some of the most unlikely places.

Maturity

Maturity:   is the ability to control anger and settle difference without violence or destruction.

Maturity:   is patience. It is the willingness to cease immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain.

Maturity:   is the capacity to face unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or collapse.

Maturity:   is perseverance, the ability to sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and setbacks.

Maturity:   is humility. It is being big enough to say, “I was wrong.” And when right, the MATURE person need not experience the satisfaction of saying, “I told you so.”

Maturity:   means dependability. Keeping one’s word. Coming through in the crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi. They are the confused and disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken promises, former friends, unfinished business and good intentions that somehow never seem to materialize.

Maturity:   is the art of living in peace with that which we cannot change.

Nation Basics Part 1

Peace. I come in the righteous name of Born Logic Allah. I want to take this time to answer a few questions that I am often asked about regarding my culture and my nation. (As well as a few questions that people commonly seek the answers to but hesitate to ask.) So please take the time to read these points; and, if you have any more questions or would like more in depth answers, feel free to contact us.

 GOD
We teach that there is no mystery god. I am not saying that I am an atheist- I know that there is a supreme force within the universe. I am saying that I don’t look outside of self to find that supreme force. All the powers of the Universe exist in me. God means the Supreme Being. Supreme- most high or most dominant. A being is an entity that exists in the reality of solids, liquids, gases or a combination of all 3. The greatest living thing is man. The original man (the black man) is the origin of all man. He is first. Black is the dominant gene. These are proven facts. People often make the mistake of taking their perception of what they were taught God is- and then attempt to apply it to the definition I just presented. One must come to grips with the fact that a majority of what is taught about God is based on emotion, belief and interpretation. An all knowing mysterious being did not make man. Man made up that all knowing mysterious being in his mind and coaxed others into buying into that idea. Then he made that mystery being the answer for questions he himself could not or chose not to answer. Not everyone fell victim to this way of thinking. There are some who were not deceived by teachings of a spirit or Holy Ghost.

DIET
We do not eat pork or any “by products” derived from a pig. The pig is a poisonous animal that is not meant for human consumption. It has been avoided by civilized people throughout the ages. Consider how many cultures choose not to eat it or even avoid handling the flesh of this animal. It is an omnivore; meaning it will eat plants or animals (even another pig). In the flesh of the pig lives a parasite: Trichinella spiralis, commonly called the trichina worm. It causes a parasitic disease known as Trichinosis, which can be and historically has been fatal. Some byproducts of pork are Lard and gelatin. Some other by products that are often derived from a pork source are: Mono and diglycerides, L-cysteine and glycerin. We also do not eat collard greens, shrimp, lobster, catfish, and black eyed peas. (The wise amongst us also avoid tuna.)

WE ARE NOT A RELIGION
We all as individual people have beliefs; however that is not what we run around teaching people. We teach actual facts. For myself I have a moral code that I act in accordance with. I won't just do, say, eat or drink anything. I have a cultural foundation that influences and guides my choices. However I am not religious. My reasoning is not based on any particular book, scripture or text. I have no pastor, preacher or any form of hierarchy in my culture. I don't have any particular holidays (Holy days). I don't have any real ceremonies or rituals that I partake in. I am very flexible because of the nature of my teachings. My Logic is based on the laws of mathematics and principals of the universe. I will revisit this subject in the near future and address more topics.

PEACE,
Born Logic Allah

The Woman, The Earth

Peace, my name is LAKing Allah, the black seed. I have recently been approached with questions about the importance of the women or the lack thereof within the Nation of Gods and Earths. I understand while such questions may surface because we teach that God is Man; however we do not teach that women are Goddesses. In addition, it is often said that what we teach is God’s culture. I address these questions with a simple true statement. One of the basic principles that we teach is that “the unified black family is the vital building block of the nation.” The unified black family consists of Man, Woman and Child. In addition to the fact that our women, our Earths are the divine consoler, and the only way that we can physically reproduce, in many ways she is the “keeper of the culture.” While the men have traditionally been away from the home as bread winners the Earth has been the primary teacher and care giver of the children. The Earth plays a vital role because we also teach “that our children are our link to the future and must be nurtured, loved, protected and educated.”

I speak from personal experience when I say that it has been my Earth that has often kept me motivated, yet humble over the last 13 years and I wouldn’t trade our relationship for all of the riches in the universe. There are many things to be learned and gained from one another as man and women. In today’s changing society same-sex relationships are becoming more accepted and more common; however we can never forget that it is the physical union of a male and a female that will bring about the living “fruit” of reproduction. Physical and mental reproduction is vital to the growth and continuation of the Nation. A wise man once said “I don’t even have to meet a God, show me his Earth and I will tell if he is right and exact.” To the women in our nation and all righteous women across the globe, thank you for whom you are and what you do. You are needed and appreciated. Peace.

"Why Do You Say PEACE So Much?"

Peace is the Absence of Chaos and confusion. It is a calm state of harmony and balance, the goal of civilizations throughout the ages. We say Peace a lot! We say it so that it may truly exist, not that actions are not necessary to achieve it; however our words definitely have an effect. I greet others in Peace to wish them the highest order of the universe and so that when we interact with one another; our exchange will hopefully remain cordial and civil. It sets the tone and initiates positivity.

The words you speak are sound waves that vibrate throughout the atmosphere and influence everything that they come in contact with. Just as if you were to drop a pebble in a pond, the impact would send a ripple through the water that resonates outward. This same concept is true for the type of energy we emit as individuals. PEACE- Positive Energy Always Corrects Errors. It’s contagious. When you start to say it on a regular basis you start to see how many other people begin to say it as well. It strikes a chord with people whether they realize it or not.

In any language “Peace” would be an acceptable greeting. It has spoken throughout time by the prophets and great men of wisdom. It is the calling card of the Gods and Earths; If you hear a loud and cohesive-Peace- I start to look in that direction because 9 times out of 10 it’s someone with knowledge of self. It’s important to say it, it’s even more important to live it! We are humble and positive people however I am not a pacifist. I will always strive for peace with the understanding that if I have to go to war to achieve it I am willing. I must protect what is mine as a man and guard my heavens to preserve my way of life.
Proper Education Activates Constant Elevation
Please Educate Allah’s Children Equally (Eternally)
Powerful Eye of Allah Cees Everything
Positive Energy Always Corrects Errors

Show and Prove

Peace, I am LAKing Allah the Black Seed. The Nation of Gods and Earths’ motto is “Show and Prove”. The importance of this phrase should never be overlooked or taken for granted by anyone who claims to be a part of what we do. The teachings of our Father Allah are based on knowledge which is 100% fact. We do not depend on philosophical or faith-based ideals to act as our foundation; therefore all that we teach can be shown and proven to be right and exact. The fact that we invite and encourage individuals to question everything that is presented to them and take nothing on “face value” is a testament to the strength of our teachings. One thing that separates our way of life; our culture from religious practices and beliefs is that we take pride in our ability to show and prove within the realms of science and reality that what we teach is real. For every time in my life that I had been told that goodness, Godliness, and even righteous would be beyond the understanding of my “simple” mind, I now look to and embrace our nation’s motto and will forever appreciate my ability to be able to SHOW and PROVE that Allah is the God, always has been and always will be. P.E.A.C.E.

TEAM

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” - African Proverb

I personally think it’s important to have a team, a group of like-minded individuals working towards a goal. Having a collection of like minds can challenge and motivate you to grow and excel. It also tends to bring about a more balanced, well thought approach in regards to solving problems and addressing issues. Learning to work with others is an invaluable life lesson and its benefits should not be underestimated.

When there are more hands available, work can be distributed, time can be saved and more can be accomplished. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts and pieces” is a true concept. This is why it is often said that there is no “I” in team. The members of a team must at times sacrifice individual accolades and accomplishments for the greater good of the unit. At the same time individuals with strong traits and characteristics can help strengthen the group because “You are only as strong as your weakest link.” I sat down the other day to think about the necessary components to a good working unit and here is what I came up with.

I think that there are four primary characteristics needed, although you don’t have to have four different people playing each role. One person might have to possess more than one of these qualities in a two or three person team.
1)The Visionary: someone who sees “the bigger picture”, the overall goal of the group. One who can simplify and understand the ideas and ideals of the team.
2)The Mover: the person who makes the strides to bring the ideas into a living reality. The spokesperson who is out and about networking, building bridges and making connections. The person with the magnetic personality and enough charisma to convince others that “this just might work.”
3)The Technician: the one in tune with more technical aspects of what needs to be accomplished. One who pays close attention to the details. He/ she is usually methodical and good at problem solving.The engineer.
4)The Glue: the one who keeps everyone on the same page, who can rally the troops and provide that spark- motivation. The glue keeps everyone together. He/she may have to play the mediator at times to work through the internal issues that are bound to arise.


In a team environment, communication is key. All members must be in tune with the overall goals and have enough ambition to follow through with the tasks that need to be done to bring about success. TEAM- Together Everyone Achieves More is a popular and very true acronym. Another way I’ve been looking at it lately is for the unit to win; it’s all about Timing Execution Action Management.All of these points are key and their importance can not be overlooked.

These are true life lessons that can be applied to many different ciphers and situations where more than one person bears responsibility: family, relationships, partnerships, business or sports.

“Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs” ―Henry Ford

We eventually have to come together with others to get some of the most important things in life accomplished. Certain qualities can only be learned in a team environment- the benefits are innumerable.

There is a whole culture to how teams work. In our supreme mathematics the number 4 is culture. The whole concept of a team revolves around 4- culture. There are four letters in the word TEAM. I just described the 4 necessary characteristics needed for a good team to function properly. When you add all of the mathematics of the order of each letter in the word it adds up to or borns 4. (T=20 E=6 A=1 M=13 20+6+1+13=40 4+0=4). There is a specific way of life to being a tribe, group, clan or team which is why civilizations are all based upon the concept of a group. This all stems from the family structure which is the basic building block of any nation. The creation of the family is essential because any species must reproduce in order to survive. The first law of nature is self preservation. From one comes many, so my point is that the whole culture of TEAM is ingrained in the human psyche.
Peace to my Team- Those Engaged Around Me.

INSPIRED

We are lovers of wise words, motivational quotes and inspirational sayings. Here are some original visuals that we've created to bring more life to some of the sayings we respect. Share them, save them, copy them as you please. The true point is to use them for growth and development.

PEACE

What Do You Choose?

Peace,
My name is LAKing Allah. Thank you for sharing your time with me. I would like to take a moment to applaud all of the higher levels of education and standardized testing methods by which one can prove their intellectual competence; however I am convinced that there is a definite contrast between being intellectually “smart” and being aware and conscious. When I say “aware” I am speaking of being aware of the pros and cons of one’s environment. I am speaking of being able to go into any cipher and come out knowing that you have changed that cipher for the better, regardless of the setting. This is what the “aware mind” can provide.

This understanding goes way beyond solutions and equations that are taught in the realm of mathematics as well as the types of comprehension questions that would provide a passing grade on a test. This is a true and living science that is much more valuable than a 4.0 grade point average at even the highest institutions in the land. Having the knowledge of one’s self as well as the understanding of the supreme order of our universe is what Allah has provided for us and we would be fools not to use it to our benefit. In fact even as I write I can think of numerous situations in which my “book smarts” would have done me little good; however it was my universal knowledge that allowed me to rise above and conquer that challenge that lies before me. I am not stating these facts in an effort to tease or antagonize, I am speaking in an effort to entice one to look further into what they already know and look even further into what they may not know to be true. If you have any questions about my statements I am here to help. In fact, I look forward to hearing from you. Therefore until next time, I leave you as I came in the universal greeting of peace.

LAKing Allah, The Black Seed.

My Ole Earth

Peace,
When I first gained the knowledge of myself, it was around the time of the family day in Cream City at that time. Well I wanted my parents to be familiar with what I was learning and I figured that it would be a good opportunity for them to see firsthand the culture I was striving to be a part of. So I invited them to family day! Before we took the trip I wanted to at least explain to them that this was something new to me and that I wanted them to have an understanding of the teachings I was learning. So one afternoon my mother and father came over; I started breaking down the science of how we as original people (black men and women) were brought here to North America and stripped of our language, our traditions and our identity. We were forced to be subservient to a people who dominated, raped and killed us! The same people, who enslaved us, gave us religion-Christianity-false images of a savior who does not look like US and we were told that our heaven was in the sky, and we would have to die to see it.

I explained the basics of supreme mathematics and how knowledge is 1. That all things start with having the proper information and that in order to gain knowledge one must first: look, listen observe and have a level of respect. Much to my surprise they actually listened and started to consider what I was saying. Their silence encouraged me to speak more. So as they listened I continued to build with them and tell them the history and basic beginnings of our nation. This went on for some time and they actually embraced a lot of what I said to them. They left my house and when I told them Peace; they responded- PEACE. I really felt like I had accomplished something that evening.

We went to family day and the vibe was beautiful. I have to say that I was surprised everything went so well. After time my pops eventually came “back to his senses” and went back to eating pork and praying; which is fine. I love him whatever he chooses to do. However my mother never looked back. She continued to ask questions and be interested in what we were doing. I explained the dietary laws and why we chose not to eat certain foods; some of which had been passed down to us through slavery. She calls me by my righteous name, says “Peace God” and attends parliaments when she wants to. She is not hesitant or afraid to step in the cipher and speak either. I have the absolute greatest Love and respect for my “Ole Earth” the planet from whence I came!!!

I Honor my parents and My Mom respects me as the man I have become, the righteous example I set and that’s why she bears witness. Since I have gained the knowledge of myself I have improved and grown and she acknowledges this fact. If I were not living what I claim not showing and proving the growth and development- things would be different between us. We must practice what we teach.

This translates into so many benefits for my family. I don’t have to worry about my sun going to visit his grandmother and she feeds him something I don’t approve of. I can build and have so many engaging conversations with her on a truly mental level- she will even drop a jewel on me from time to time! I am blessed and I appreciate my blessing- I appreciate my Ole Earth!

ART CAMP 2011- THE PROMISE LAND (Green Bay, WI)

This year acting on an idea that was suggested by my queen, we decided to have an all-inclusive camp that focused on visual arts. This was a 3 day event which took place at the Harmony Café in the Justice room, it was an excellent event!

With this format we were able to include everyone, and expose them to some things that they might not be able to see every day. Both Laking and I have had formal art training as we graduated from a high school for the visual and performing arts. So dealing in equality with what we’ve learned; each of us is able to teach another according to our own knowledge. Art is a form of expression which encourages creativity and individuality so we feel that it is a great medium for the young.

For the three days that we held the camp (2hours per day) we were able to host 15 to 18 students per day. We financed our camp through donations and also funds that we save independently throughout the year for events like this. It only takes a small amount of time and true sincerity to make a difference in a child’s life.  The room we acquired from the café was free and much appreciated, so we only had to purchase the art supplies which totaled approximately $110. We made a basic advertisement describing the event, posted them around town and online, and we set up an online registration for free at www.planetreg.com .

This experience was so fun and refreshing that we’ve thought of ways to expand the same format into science and also mathematics. -- Born Logic

During the 2011 Gods and Earths Art Camp Born Logic (my brown seed and physical brother) and I dealt with a basic yet effective curriculum.  We made an effort to accommodate the various age ranges and talent levels that attended this year's event while making a point not to bore the more advanced artistic minds.  Thanks to the comments and feedback from the participants and parents we feel as though we were successful in our mission.

                We began by teaching our students the fundamentals of drawing.  We explained how all complex "subjects" could be broken down into simple shapes that even the most novice artists would be able to draw.  We extended this exercise by giving examples of popular cartoons that were created and drawn from basic shapes such as circles, rectangles, triangles and squares.  The children seemed to grasp the concept very well and even came up with their own characters derived from these same basic shapes.

                Next we dealt with the understanding of how light and shadows could be implemented in art in very simple ways.  The group worked on shading which brought a new dimension to the still life drawings that they drafted from everyday items selected by the instructors.

                Once Logic and I began to cee how the children were drawn (no pun intended) into the projects that they had taken part in, we chose to allow them to transfer their new found knowledge to different mediums.  Art camp participants worked with drawing charcoal, watercolors and molding clay.  Working with the various mediums was a new experience for most of our students and gave each one of them a tighter grasp and a larger appreciation for the information that had recently been given to them.

                Some of the outcomes that were continuously mentioned by the instructions were the extremely high interest levels shown by the students during the projects they worked on as well as the willingness to try new concepts without hesitation.  In addition, there were stories from parents about how many of the students practiced and performed artistic projects at home after the Art Camp was done for the day.  There were also several requests from students and parents wondering when the next art camp would be and if they could invite more people.  There was even mention of a possible "adult art camp."         

                Looking back on the 2011 Gods and Earths Art Camp, I am proud to say that it was a huge success.  From its inception through its completion the event brought about challenges as well as positive moments that I will always remember; however the effort was well worth the final results.  If you have any questions, suggestions or comments regarding the Art Camp feel free to contact me.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Peace -- Laking
