The only “right” we need to tell our children is the that it does not need the consent of any other human
No man can give any man rights
Stop asking for them
Live
Intelligent words mean nothing to the colonizer coward... stop talking to them
Yes they control the global marketplace in every and all aspects, so we do feel like we must ask permission to live. That’s what it feels like to many; black and white
The human spirit is a universal gift. It is not man made so it does not need permission from any human
Abuse
Abuse is used to maintain order
They call it “the law”
The law has nothing to do with neither honesty nor integrity. It is a construct of those who need the human race to be weak and dependent, easily distracted and compliant
We are compliant
We are afraid
“Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die”
We are weak and hypocritical
We blame each other for getting this all wrong and argue for others to follow what we believe to be a truth. We abuse and insult each other, each walking away exasperated that “everyone else is so blind”
We are all blind
We are all abusive
We are all scared
Fear
It truly brings out our worst energies and traits
Your “right” is to complete your task
Your task of living your best life
If misery makes you happy, be miserable. That is your task
My right is life
It does include the daily abuses in the news, governments, laws, officials, ceo’s, presidents... laws
A butterfly flits by and does not know or adhere to any man made laws
“Be like water my friend”
The suffering is hard to know about and to not have it affect our very souls yet we must live to our fullest, encouraging others to do the same
Rights?
Such a confusing topic for me, as being a part of the herd of sheep, I am as brainwashed as the rest, indoctrinated into our court/s of law which are set up to degrade humans
Yet we trust the court system?
We have no need to fight for rights
We need to focus on “murder by law”
“Buck busting”
This was the practice of the colonizer plantation owner of sodomising male slaves while the other slaves were gathered to witness which had the desired effect of scaring those gathered
Control through abuse
Breanna Taylor
George Floyd
Lester Donaldson
Murder by law
Modern day buck busting
Rights?
As a black person, you may know what ALL of “your rights” are but the trick is to get the colonizer to give a fuck about them, which they never have and never will
Rights
Distraction
While we “fight for our rights” we fall for the deception for no man owns any man’s rights
Freedom is personal
We must individually choose freedom
It cannot be given or taken away as it is a deeply spiritual energy within all humans
Your spiritual upliftment is obviously personal. We let in the energies that we choose to dwell on; positive and negative
Living free is difficult to explain because I don’t know if any in this generation ovastands if we are actually free
It is obvious to many that we are far from free... physically as well as spiritually yet the only freedom is within the spirit that we all have the ability to affect
Whatever the external / physical distractions, we choose at times how to deal with each event
A free spirit chooses a path to peace and serenity
An enslaved spirit knows only abuse
See and speak the truth to self
Not your or any other perception
The truth
Speak truth to self
Freedom lies within this truth
Rights
You have a right to be free to connect with the universe as only you can
Your rights are you
Preserve self
Self love shines out to the community and builds more love
Rights are our distraction
No need to fight for a thing that cannot be taken by any man
Again, I write from feel
No man can give any man rights
