HAKUNA MATATA: How To Eliminate Fear From Your Life

 

At the end of this post I hope everyone takes from it this: WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO LITERALLY CONTROL ANYTHING WE WANT IN LIFE. CHALLENGE YOUR MIND TO SEE DEEPER INTO WHAT YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW. Your mind is far more amazing than you may realize.

FACTS

  1. We are living in a capitalist society. Capitalism can be broken down to “the only way you can survive, provide a means for your family, be happy, live a wonderful life is to have money” and if you have money THEN and ONLY THEN can you be happy and fulfill your purpose in life”
  2. What fuels the society? Fuel can mean “to keep going” or “ignite”, therefore money keeps the capitalist society going and keeps YOU from being happy in life.
  3. We are taught that the “more” money you have the happier you will be in life, so to be happier you work to make money. We are also told the harder you work your chances are increased of making “more” money, essentially this pattern is teaching you to want “more” to need “more‘, to basically be greedy. The FEAR (fear is fake and was designed to hinders society) factor is what fuels this because no one wants to be sad in life everyone wants the “AMERICAN DREAM”…toast to cliche’s in the dark past!
  4. What comes along with being “greedy”? Within this society, normally it leads to jealousy because there will always be someone who has more than the next capitalist society is built that way, communism means to “share” and that’s exactly what we ALL need to do is SHARE and we all will be equally happy. Sharing is caring for a reason people and that reason is because it truly makes the world go round.
  5. This cycle leads to murders, theft, lies, deceit, wars, imprisonment, mass murders, which leads to separation and individualism which means basically don’t work together and everyone only look out for themselves…AKA SELFISHNESS or classically known as survival of the fittest (or only people that can be controlled will be able to live life….WHAT?!)
  6. We can do literally anything we put our minds to. I challenge you to consider for just a second that (FEAR IS FAKE AND DOES NOT EXIST)..when you remove this fear you can do anything because you are able to see life clearer and basically have no worries HAKUNA MATATA! Ultimate Happiness Life With No Worries AKA Fear AKA Money.

Challenge: How To Fight Racism

I love this process of correcting my racial biases, at the end of the day I really do feel happy. It’s exciting to know that I am in control of my emotions, feelings, thoughts…this is true power. Very liberating.

Updated Post: I was unaware of the influence Classical Music has had in civilization. I was introduced to the idea of listening to Beethoven after watching a documentary called Hidden Colors. The irony in Classical Music and its reference to “Soul Music” is it was used to heal ailments. The piano was formed from the guitar, xylophone and harp. The three came together to (my philosophy) produce healing for the masses. There is so much about the development of our history we are unaware of. I challenge you to seek a deeper truth in something you may already. I’m not asking you to immediately disregard everything you know but just challenge your mind, this is the true meaning of critical thinking. It may be something small for example, we all can agree there is water in between countries, “separating them”. Think of what the word separate really means. Some synonyms are unconnected, unrelated. If these countries were really separate how are we able to reach them. Assume for a second, airplanes did not exist. Would we not be able to get to them? Does the water not connect them together? You may follow me and you may not but think about it. My intention is to challenge you to challenge your mind, you’ll be amazed at the discoveries, I am!

Previous Post: I was unaware of the Black influence on Classical Music and was introduced to this idea after watching the Hidden Colors documentary. I am beginning with Beethoven for the obvious reasons. His mother was a moor (meaning a black women, moor is a color not a person) and his direct African/Black affiliation is not emphasized.

As with anything concerning blacks, the depictions have been manipulated over time. Beethoven’s hair obtained so much attention because of it’s texture, indigenous to the characteristics of black people’s hair. Any African ancestry is barely mentioned in history texts and it was known that his mother was a Moor. I was not surprised at the difficulty of obtaining clues to the validity of his nationality and barely mentions his mother. I wonder why that is.

Classical music was derived from combining the concepts of the Harp, Xylophone and guitar to produce the piano. The Moors used “classical music” as we know it today but was considered soul music because it was used to heal the sick. The Moors would introduce music in the British colonies along with the Spanish. This style of music like many other was stripped from the Africans and passed off as British.

How To Fight Racism

I want to share some realizations I had about life today.

Realization

  1. We as a society must be empathetic and respect other human sensitivities.
  2. We must not be ashamed or fearful of our differences, they make us who we are.
  3. We must practice good behavior and have genuinely good intentions. If we all just genuinely were committed to ensuring everyone is happy we all will be happy and life would be great! The thought of that is so exciting to me.

Realizations or Ideas for combatting Racism and more importantly the system.

  1. We live in a corrupt and evil system designed by our ancestors, this system was designed because they were selfish and simply did not wish good fortune for everyone around them.
  2. That is the root of the problem. 
  3. The capitalist society is a system and like any system, once you figure out how it operates you can manipulate it. For example: Scientists perform tests so they can study the characteristics of viruses and other harmful, essentially learning their system and characteristics. Learning the system of harmful agents allows doctors to create medicine to treat the illnesses .
  4. We live in a system and it has some life threatening viruses: Religion, greed, control, money,  jealousy, FEAR, envy, lack of empathy are some that I identified today. We must study the characteristics of these viruses and learn their every move and realize how they are corrupting our society.

I plan to post many posts similar to this. I feel if we relate our social struggles to relatable occurrences in life, we can collectively come together. There are strength in numbers.

I’d Rather Hug You

While holding a sign that said “YOU ARE KILLING US” on one side and “DON’T SHOOT” on the other, Sister Dragonfly approached a Ferguson officer and attempted to make eye contact. She implored him to look at her, and when their gaze connected, she asked, “Why do you all hate us so much?” The officer responded, “I don’t hate you, ma’am.” She replied with “I don’t want to hate you, I’d rather hug you.” And when he said, “Then hug me,” she promptly put her arms around him, and they embraced whole-heartedly for nearly a minute. From that moment forward, the gaze of the protest shifted from the cluster of clergy leading the protest to the officers surrounding them.

Hidden Colors

This blog is greatly inspired by the documentary Hidden Colors by Tariq Nasheed. Many of my references and comparison will be attributed to the findings of this documentary. I believe we have been left messages from our creators on our identity and it is waiting to be revealed. The Black/African/African-American race is a great race with a great history and a great story. We are not the minority. We do not know our history. I report what I consider to be facts and do my best to exclude any biases. I simply intend to provide you with the knowledge I am acquiring along my journey to explore my lineage, you decide what you want to do with it. I will find away to upload the documentary or post a link directing to the video, please stay tuned for the post.
