Negative Teachers Suck

2011-11-09T20:16:00.004-05:00

Today has been a horrible day on the school front. My son had a teacher who made a very inappropriate comment to him. About 3 weeks ago she said to my son that he was going westward on the short yellow bus. To which my son yelled at her that he is not retarded. Mind you, the teacher was informed by me weeks earlier that my son is a higher functioning autistic child. These comments were also made during class amongst his fellow students. When my son told me of the situation, I quickly went to the principle and asked for her to investigation of the situation to which she agreed. The result was that the teacher said that she did not make the comment, however another student at bare minimum confirmed my sons side of the story. I called today for an update to which I was told that the teacher was addressed and she could not go into further detail with me. This teacher is still there hasn't missed a day but my son has been removed from the class and now they are expediting his testing so that we may have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan). Needless to say I was not satisfied and have now requested to speak to the principle of the school. I left him a message and was told his meeting would be over by 2:30pm today and left him 2 numbers to contact me as well as my email. Did I hear anything form the principle? NO! I didn't get a call back today. So I will be at the school in the morning and if I get no results then its off to the superintendent.

I told the assistant principle the same thing that I say to my son "Everything BEGINS with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY." So why would I not hold their staff to the same standards that I hold my entire family to. Teachers have an ability to shape and mold these children's lives more than you know. Now, I do not solely trust any system to educate my children in the manner that I do.

I do however:

1. Expect them to handle their bodies, minds, and souls with care.
2. Expect them to know that learning is cyclical and not linear.
3. Expect them to respect my children.
4. Expect them to remember why they became EDUCATORS.

Truthfully, I expect a helluva a lot more, but we do not have all night. All in all this is really crazy though. This teacher has managed to take a subject that my son was so excited to take and now he's just over it. He didn't like the woman so he didn't participate in class work nor did he do homework so those grades are E's.Funny sh** is his grades for tests and quizzes is a B. I had to tell his school do not underestimate his intelligence and he is very smart. Not only that, I provided them with his test scores on his state assessments so that they can see he's advanced in every category but the algebra component of math and last year in the 8th grade he tested as ready for his first year of college level reading courses. Again, my baby is smart and if you underestimate him or try to make a fool of him, he will show you just how smart he is. Everything began with this teacher when she instructed him not to do something to fix a computer situation and he was telling her he knew what to do and some where in the mix he did what he knew to do and was correct, making her incorrect and subsequently she began to point out every time he was incorrect from that day on.

My venting session is over. I will keep you posted.

REMEMBER:

We teach to Inspire,Motivate,Elevate,and to Educate. At no point should those aspirations/goals ever be forgotten.

I am so very sorry for neglecting this blog for so long. I have been doing everything but posting here. For those who have stuck with me, much appreciation and those who have just stumbled upon my blog.... well then peace and blessings to you. A lot has happened since I last posted here so I decided to create a simple list of the major updates so to speak:

1. My business page has changed. Power of Refinement
2. One of my children has been diagnosed as being a high functioning autistic child.*
3. I have gotten over my denial of my child's diagnoses.*
4. Looking to test my other children of any ASD's. (Autistic Spectrum Disorders)*
5. I am in a relationship with a beautiful person.
6. I have moved to a new city.
7. etc...etc....etc... (This probably could go on for awhile)

** FYI- I do not and will not medicate my children. **

Now with all these changes I have managed to keep it together, or so I think. Needless to say I ran across this Tao Te Ching quote and had to post it.(Today it simply seemed fitting)

Who recognizes his limitations is healthy;
Who ignores his limitations is sick.
The sage recognizes this sickness as a limitation.
And so becomes immune.

In life regardless of the many challenges that one may face. We must stand resolute in the fact that beaten up, bruised or even broken doesn't mean that one has been defeated. Keep the fight to progress in you strong!! Love and Hugs

Great News!!

Some Of My Lessons In Acceptance

2011-02-27T21:41:00.010-05:00

Harmony is only in following the Way.
The Way is without form or quality,
But expresses all forms and qualities;
The Way is hidden and implicate,
But expresses all of nature;
The Way is unchanging,
But expresses all motion.

Beneath sensation and memory
The Way is the source of all the world.
How can I understand the source of the world?
By accepting -Tao TeChing

Peace Family,

After a much needed break from social media,to a degree I have returned. Over this last two years I have learned so many things about life,love,living,and myself. I view things so differently now that it amazes and excites me. The biggest and hardest lesson I had to learn was acceptance. This lesson has showed its head in so many areas in my life that I really had to take careful note. Here are just a few of my thoughts relating to acceptance in my life:

*I have learned that in accepting death truly enables you to appreciate the life a person has and how that life has enriched your existence.

*I have learned that in accepting that life itself moves in cycles, it has enabled me to better recognize,appreciate,and place the appropriate value on all of my relationships. Within this lesson came another sort of separate lesson. I had learned the lesson about the nature of bonds awhile ago but hadn't put it into practice until situations arose that called for this type of knowledge. We make the decision about who we choose to bond with but after that point we cannot control that bond and whether it stays intact or not. This is why we should naturally be careful with who we choose to bond with because everyone is not meant to be bonded with us.

*I have learned that in accepting the fact that fu**ed up ish happens liberates you from stressing yourself out so much about it.

*I have learned that in accepting that love knows love,I am no longer bond by ridiculous constraints that inhibit love from flowing freely and honestly in a pure and unselfish way.

*I have learned that in accepting all of my flaws no one could ever hang them over my head as a sword. I have learned to accept my big beautiful mouth, my beautiful pudgy belly, my not always together hair and every other imperfection that I posses be it mentally, physically, or emotionally.

*I have learned that in accepting myself for myself and as myself, has created a liberating life. Free from others opinions, judgments, ideals, and any other box that people outside of myself create for me.

*I have learned that in accepting others means all of them and not just the parts that I like. It caused me to learn from the flaws of those close to me instead of me condemning them, which I used to do. {This however does not apply to relationships of an opportunistic nature.}

*I have learned that accepting help doesn't make me a slave bound to anything other than what I had committed myself to doing in the reception of that help.

* I have learned that accepting my intuition,thoughts,and feelings along with the expression of these in any form doesn't make me mean, wrong, or intimidating but rather it makes me honest with myself and those around me.{Wisdom is not only what you say but when and how you say it}

*I have learned that accepting silence and applying this concept in life can be the loudest and at times the most appropriate response to many things.

*I have learned that accepting, welcoming, an inducing solitude for specified moments in time has proven be the most peaceful thing that I could have ever done.

*I have learned that accepting that there will always be people hating, plotting, planning and everything else my downfall, has made me appreciate the fact that I am on there mind so much.....lol...had to do at least one light joint but everything is still real

Love, Peace, and Happiness

What's To Come

2009-07-22T01:27:00.003-04:00

Peace,
It has been a long time and life has been doing what it does. I in turn decided to take a break from somethings, only to return when the season is right. Well it looks like I am ready. Now, it late and the sun rising is approaching.I will however be posting sooner than later. I think that is will be good for me and when I do I would appreciate everyone letting me know what they think, be it good, bad, or indifferent. We're gonna get it in folks.....and I look forward to it.

Peace My Peoples

Well, the title says it all huh? I have been in this place which is quite unknown to me and I simply had to share it. Now that my God is a budding blogger and is following this blog, please excuse this message to him(ooo and baby don't change colors ok...lol):

I have never known a man like you. I am so thankful for the God, the Father, the Protector, the Provider, the Lover, the EVERYTHING that you are. Your greatness cannot be measured and your power is limitless. Thank you for making me a better me. You keep me as I keep you. I am truly humbled. I LOVE YOU TO LIFE!!

Your Earth,
Beautiful SciAsia Earth

Now back to the regularly scheduled program =^_^= lol. I think most people are so caught up with the notion that love is like a made for tv movie, that they miss the reality of the matter so to speak. People, love is work. Love is the duty that two people have chosen for themselves to carry. It is a connection of the mind, body, and spirit (make sure u have an understanding b4 you challenge this term). Understand folks that Romance isn't synonymous with love, it's a sweet sentiment but not love. All this came to my mind because I have heard so many people comment on my relationship with my husband(Thank You by the way). Truth be told I think we make this look easy(I guess), but we know the work that we put in to have what we have. Some individuals think that love is supposed to come easy...well baby nothing comes easy (that's ever good), It takes dedication, work, more dedication, and even more work (for me,hard work never felt this good though =^_^=) to have a functional relationship in a dysfunctional society. By functional I mean truly living out your culture even with the strains and strife of a society bent on breaking up the original man and woman's family are present.My people,My people *sigh* stop looking for that movie crap and start appreciating the men and women you have in your lives now:
* They may not be perfect, but all long as they are striving to reach their perfection, then peace

*They may not have a lot of money, but they will share what they have with you, then peace

*They may not be a size 6 or he may not have a six pack with biceps, but their appreciation of you and compassion make them the most beautiful person that you ever laid eyes on, then peace

*Bottom line we are a lot of somethings and less of others stop searching for a fairytale and start creating your heaven with your woman and sisters start being that fascinating woman so that he can create his heaven with you.

So here are my short but good video tributes to my honey, and willfully y'all feel where I'm coming from

BECAUSE OF THE LOVE WE GO THROUGH THE HELL TO COME OUT RIGHT

When Winning Seems Impossible, Losing Is FAR From Optional

2009-01-26T09:13:00.005-05:00

Peace

Lets jump right in, the reality of life is that we all go through things right. So when it gets hard why do we give in? My husband and I are going through a difficult situation where the things around us are corrupt and therefore creating an unjust situation for our family. With that being said..our landlord is an ass (pardon my speech. Anywhoo what I wanted to speak about was being knocked down or even broken B.U.T NEVER SHATTERED. My auntie used to tell me that as a parent I was not afforded the luxury to break down or cry. Now that may seem harsh for some people,but it is very relevant and very true. My children don't know nor do they see half of the things that my husband and I deal with or go through(They are not supposed to, they are CHILDREN).WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO NOT LET EVERYTHING BREAK US!!We will see so much in our lifetime that we have to learn how to better navigate our way through the bull.We as individuals have to learn how to be strategical!! Every problem has a solution, now it maybe a complex process to get to the answer but it still has an answer no less.Hitting the damn PANIC button every time doesn't work(I'm good for that one 1/2 the time). We have to realize that we are stronger than we think we are, yet understand that strength doesn't mean we cant cry or feel some kinda way. Strength is ones ability to endure. As women or mothers were not allowed to feel sorry for ourselves. Once you understand that there are no mysteries in life and everything is real...every cause has an effect and every effect had a cause,you will better understand this notion. Living in a world of truth is lonely, but I will take it any day and all day verses staying in this sick and twisted reality which the vast majority of people find to be normal. See the trick you guys is to understand that this thing called life in this society is NOT normal, it is backwards. Any society where devilishment is promoted or glorified, is or has become a corrupted society(ok, ok tangent over).I want you to understand something(4 real), Conflict is not always solved by talking or ignoring, there are and will be times where conflict can only be solved by war or aggression. So don't take life sitting down or on your knees because it is there, that you will DIE.Fight for everything you have worked hard to acquire and keep, because it is the only way you can live. Now you all may not agree with me and that's the beauty of a people our differences make us stronger as a collective because we have to go through it with each other until the truth is manifested and proven.

Peace

Random Thought

2009-01-01T01:51:00.008-05:00

Peace

I was thinking today about relationships. Not any one type in particular but how we as women respond or react in all of them, regardless of the type. Woman are taught from early on to be nurturing, compassionate, loving, giving and to be a healer as well. So we will look at these terms briefly (All that know me know I'm a dictionary buff):

Nurture- 1:The sum of influences modifying the expression of the genetic potentialities of an organism. 2:To further the development of.

Compassion- (Etymology L com + pati to bear--more at patient)Sympathetic consciousness of others distress together with the desire to alleviate it.

Love- (My only comprehensible understanding) The highest form of understanding with a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. (In the realm of emotion I have to say,I don't truly know, nor have I experienced a pure or untampered emotional love)

Give- 1:To commit to another as a trust or responsibility and for an expressed reason 2: To offer as a pledge

Heal- 1:To make whole. 2:Mend 3:To restore to original purity or integrity.

Now with this in mind, what do you think happens when hurt, deceit, tragedy, and/or pain are introduced to that woman?

Answer: She protects herself!! In any way possible and by any means necessary.

If you are one of those fortunate women who has not allowed life to taint you and make you bitter or jaded....GREAT. If you are one of those women who can rationalize well enough to put your past in the proper perspective...GREAT.

With that being said have patience, compassion, understanding, and love for individuals who cant express or were never taught those key elements mentioned above.People come into our life for a particular reason or several reasons. We should never loose sight of the fact that pain, hurt, deceit, and tragedy are powerful. Powerful enough to stifle any individuals growth and development.

Personally I was not taught certain key elements that all young women should be taught. For a long time I was directionless and through someone else's compassion, I was able to find and acquire these principals for myself and later on developed them further for the sake of my children and any husband that I would have.I must say that I have, am, and will eternally continue to grow in this area of womanhood.

This topic came up for me because of several relationships that I have seen take shape in my life. I have seen people who's pain ran so deep that they could not be reached, I have seen individuals who can be everything for everyone else but can't accept love and compassion toward themselves, I have seen people who can't bare to look at themselves and therefore could and would never reveal themselves to anyone.Does that make anyone of them less worthy of our love, compassion, giving, nurturing or healing? I have come to say no. Now I must say I still do not know how to respond to every situation or personality type that is thrown my way. I do however give every one a chance to be a part of my life and receive all that I have to offer and will to learn much from them,until it is time for that relationship to die.

I respect and appreciate every person that has crossed my path. I am humbled at the very though that I could have affected someones life in any way.I am appreciative of my children because they keep me, I am appreciative of my husband because he shows me a love that was unknown to me and they all keep me grounded. So in this season of rest and death I hold dear all the things that help elevate me and aide in my growth in going to the next level. When New Year for me comes (Spring Solstice)I look forward to seeing what I have accomplished in making my own worst part my best part within that 196,940,000 square miles.

Here is another Tao Te Ching Quote:

The Way bears all things;
Harmony nurtures them;
Nature shapes them;
Use completes them.

Each follows the Way and honours harmony,
Not by law,
But by being.

The Way bears, nurtures, shapes, completes,
Shelters, comforts, and makes a home for them.

Bearing without possessing,
Nurturing without taming,
Shaping without forcing,
This is harmony.

Peace

Where's The Peace In Death

2008-12-27T01:11:00.005-05:00

LIFE IS WHAT WE CHOOSE

Well folks today I heard something that I didn't want to hear and frankly it HURT DEEPLY to hear. Now what that was I will not reveal at this time nor,may I ever do so over the Internet. (Just being honest). Anyway after the tears subsided and my logic kicked in to a degree I had to acknowledge the truth of the matter and that meant to accept another persons truth as well,whether I agreed or understood it. See I think we as people tend to want our truth to be the next persons truth. Well to be real, that's not right. We can't force people to do things with or without us and expect favorable results, we only at that point are postponing the inevitable. Look at nature if you will everything has a life cycle, some longer than others but a cycle no less. Life moves in accordance with nature or natural laws, change is the essence of life and how we respond to that change will determine our individual quality of life. There are things that are of us that must DIE in order for us to GROW. When death arrives most of us hold on making the death process unbearable, tormenting, and even enough to make you go what people call insane or crazy. Bottom line, there are times when you have to let go and let nature run or take its coarse. In doing so you will find peace (even if it's a small amount) even in or while going through your pain. I am not proposing that this coarse of action will be easy, b.u.t I have not seen the likes of man go against the likes of nature and win. I will you and myself a life that knows peace, a life that knows love, and a life that knows happiness!!!

Empty the self completely;
Embrace perfect peace.
The world will rise and move;
Watch it return to rest.
All the flourishing things
Will return to their source.

This return is peaceful;
It is the flow of nature,
An eternal decay and renewal.
Accepting this brings enlightenment,
Ignoring this brings misery.

Who accepts nature's flow becomes all-cherishing;
Being all-cherishing he becomes impartial;
Being impartial he becomes magnanimous;
Being magnanimous he becomes natural;
Being natural he becomes one with the Way;
Being one with the Way he becomes immortal:
Though his body will decay, the Way will not.

This Morning

2008-12-19T11:57:00.002-05:00

Peace and Blessings,

I have had so many things to say , but have not wanted to post them on the web. Which defeats the purpose of a blog, kinda. I have seen people take from other peoples blog without permission and I have seen people use information in other peoples blog against them. Now make no mistake, my life is for the most part transparent, but certain things are only for my immediate family. Nevertheless as I go through this maze in my mind, I will weigh and judge it all. Now to get on track after my long ramble, In my home we have a dry erase board to which we write the days mathematics or pose a question that all who are willing can answer. Now you know I ask hella questions right :o) (I tell you I'm a motormouth) B.U.T. today I went to do a question and this came out:

Untitled

I thought of this place
Within a space in time
No borders, no boundaries
Confining my existence
Offering no repentance for mistakes made
But I still can't exscape
Confined by verbal rape
Saying that fate
Simply doesn't exist
But my reality said I allowed this
So how do I process it
It being the pain
Pain that I can't even begin to name
It's faceless, orderless, and touch less
So I act like I erupt less
Knowing that it's more
Screaming inside of my head for or about an emotion I can't recognize
Endless sighs
But after the tears are cried
I simply be
In this cyclical journey
Until life makes its answers known to me.

If you understand its perspective comment, I would love to see what you all got from it. Also know that my journey right now is turbulent like most change is.There are times I want to be bothered and of coarse times that I do not. As I go through this please know that I ignore no one, but I need some time for death and planting of seeds in order to be ready when the harvest comes. I leave you as I came with all the peace that I have.

Peace

Here are a few reflections of the last couple of days. The synopsis is this:

I cut my hair
The children got glasses
I am preparing for the God's bornday (I need a bakery quick)I can do that cause he doesn't read my blog :o)
All around I'm just dealing with building,introspection,growing more into Beautiful SciAsia, and plotting my course.

Now this pic isn't the most flattering for me but my baby looked so happy with her lil chocolate cookie ring around her mouth that I had to put it up here...I'm gonna be adding the pics of my other babies up here..I didn't this time because I pulled the images from different places so I'm getting the media together folks

No Better Day Than Today

2008-11-08T01:17:00.005-05:00

Peace,

I will that all is going beautifully with everyone. Well for all those who pay attention over the world wide web, I have changed my name....YEPPER... so now my name is Beautiful SciAsia Earth...woohooo!! Now anyone who knows me knows that me taking on any ones name as a part of my own is a huge deal. Now those that are in my inner circle knew that this had been on my mind for awhile now...I would say since about may. So I questioned and questioned and yes questioned myself trying to determine if I were ready for such a step and in light of a crazy situation, I found myself able to live out his will verses being over run by emotion in which I would normally have just let people have it in the coldest of currents. At that moment I knew that I was ready oddly enough. So with that being said.....Then I began to think about my life again.... where I have been and where I am going. Then my journey shifted gears and I knew it was time to begin again and so people here's the beginning of my new journey

This has carried Seven years of struggle, change, loss, birth, growth, pain, triumph, defeat, abuse, joy, perseverance etc. All the lessons are learned, the pains have healed, the growth has transformed me, the loss has made me stronger, the triumph has given me confidence, the defeat has humbled me, and all of this journey has prepared me for the next incredible part of this thing called life. So now with an amazing husband, beautiful children healing their pains, and a new business.... I am unstoppable!!! Now I can build on the Blackman being God all day and that's peace but after that it becomes who is the Earth. Well I already know the answer to that, so then for me it became where are you in your cycles, are your cycles in tune with nature or out of tune with the universe? I am in a season of change that is slow and steady. Identifying all that is not of me anymore and beginning to let it go and TRUST ME....IT FEELS SO DAMN GOOD. So everyone:

To A New Day All..May Your Tomorrow Be Better Than Your Yesterday, And May Your Yesterday Create A History That Changes The Lives Of Those Who Come After You.

Peace

Building Mathematically

2007-07-26T09:12:00.000-04:00

Peace

I will that this reaches you in the best of mental and physical health. This particular build is about keeping builds mathematical and being able to be Earth enough to place the petty personal or emotional things aside and deal with what we are here for which is BUILDING TO SEE ALLAHS WORLD MADE MANIFEST. We first must realize that we have mathematics so that we may begin or do things mathematical and not illogically or emotionally. I know that it's easy to build in many different ciphers on an array of topics, however we must remember that knowledge without application is completely useless and furthermore makes us appear as walking hypocrites. I have a saying that I love and frequently say (those who know me know this saying backwards and forwards) which is whether you like me, love me, hate me, or feel indifferently about me you will respect me and my build because I leave no choice. We must be able to put it to the side and again SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE WHICH IS ALLAH'S WILL, AIM, AND PURPOSE. At this time in the Nation I see a lot of individuals running amuck doing things completely backwards mathematically. Now the question becomes and then what happened? All of us feel the need to take things back to the foundation which is knowledge but in doing so we have to acknowledge the differences between that which is right from that which is not. We have to police our own and correct sisters when they are in our presence and they are not right and exact, be it toward one of the 5%, 10%, or those of the 85%. One cannot come in the name of God or Earth and see something not right and exact and leave it be, you have a duty to make right or correct what once was wrong. In the Kings James Version of the bible Ezekiel chapter 3:18-21 states:

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Once again let me repeat this phrase, STRIVE TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE WHICH IS ALLAH'S WILL, AIM, AND PURPOSE. In the bible it also states in Luke 12:31, but rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. In the Webster's Unabridged Dictionary kingdom is defined as a realm or region in which something is dominant. That is a hell of a verse for those who see what I see. If you make righteousness your number one priority so shall it be. We must be better examples as Earths not only for ourselves but for those who are in observation of us. Understand that refinement is an ever ongoing process and there is no such thing as instant Earths, you know where you just add water and put them in the microwave for 6 minutes. Within the 100 Do's And Don'ts Of M.G.T and G.C.C you will find many things that we should strive to always adhere to. Here is a listing of some of the ones I find to be the best part:

23. We submit to right and righteous.

A. We live mathematically which is the very essence of submitting to right and righteous. Our Supreme mathematics governs our day to day to be used as a guide and to give us structure.

33. Carry complaints and suggestions through the proper channels.

B. When we know that personal matters have gotten carried away then we must be wise enough to seek counsel from a respected and trusted source who understands rule 23. Also keep in mind that a fresh pair of eyes (insight) with a degree of distance can often see the things that those up close cannot.

34. Strive to cultivate love and respect for others.

C. We cannot grow as a nation without this important statement that is mentioned above. We as Earths have to form bonds with other sisters to show them the beauty in this culture whether they accept it or not as the Earth you have a duty to enrich the lives of those around you. Remember we deal with the science of everything in life, love, peace, and happiness.

49. Don't criticize unjustly without cause.

D. So many times we get caught up in the he say or she say of it all and never experience the individual that was talked about. Or without enough knowledge (facts) we come to a conclusion about individuals that we do not know.

69. Be gentle kind and firm in dealing with sisters.

E. Remember we are here to teach sisters through our words and actions. We however are not here to watch anyone make a mockery of our nation. Refer again to 23.

78. We regard problems small or large as opportunities.

F. Whatever the situation is that we encounter we have to see the opportunity to do what we do best, TEACH. Now I am the first to say that there were situations in which I had been so provoked and offended that I was instantly ready to take it to the physical, but at that time I lost sight of the bigger picture. We have to build and destroy within ourselves and with each other to make sure that we are still going in accordance with Supreme Mathematics, once again refer to 23.

There is of coarse more within the 100 Do's and Don'ts of M.G.T and G.C.C that may be very useful to you; however the above mentioned were applicable to the build. We must begin to understand the power of our words not solely from the aspect of what we want to see come into our lives but also from the perspective of constructive building and strategic destruction. In the Book of Femininity there are two portions that I would like to focus on, which are entitled How We Should Use Our Tongues and How Not To Use Our Tongues and they are as followed:

How Not To Use Your Tongue

Do not rail or brawl against anyone.
Do not speak evil of others in their absence.
Do not exaggerate in any of your statements
Do not speak harshly, or make fun of the less fortunate.
Do not swear, lie, or indulge in improper language.
Do not make random or improper assertions.
Do not speak rashly or violently.
Do not deceive people by circulating false reports.
Do not offer lip service.

How To Use Your Tongue

To convey useful information to our people.
To speak kindly of each other.
To be truthful and simple in our statements.
To comfort and console the fearful.
To cheer the timid and fearful.
To defend the innocent and oppressed.
To reprove and admonish the wicked.
To congratulate the success of the victorious.
To confess our faults to one another.

I know that refinement is a process without time constraints and something's I still work on as we all do, but the reality of life is you have to identify the problem before you can solve or resolve that particular problem. Let's continue to build strong and become bonded so that this nation will grow properly.

Always your sister in living mathematics and building to see Allah's world made manifest.

Men Of This World Do Not Desire A Righteous Woman

2007-05-04T22:52:00.000-04:00

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.

The greatest gift to any man is a virtuous woman.

A man who has such a woman by his side is the most blessed of men, for her virtue is a covering for him and her virtue ensures his future. Our future is made for us by the female. Since sin destroys our future, virtue and righteousness protect and ensure our future. So wise men in every age have cherished the virtuous woman, and have fought, bled and even died to protect her honor.

In this world, however, the purity of a young woman's love is so overwhelming to a man that many men of this world seek and do work to destroy that purity, because of our mental, moral and spiritual state.

Since the fall of Adam, man is only a caricature of himself. David the Psalmist wrote, "Ye are all Gods, children of the Most High God." Satan has so reversed what Allah (God) intended for us to be that that would now be, "Ye are all dogs, children of the most low Satan." It is this state that the man is in that has driven the female away from him and even made her in some instances hate the very presence of a man. The women who meet with men who may be desirous of an elevated conversation usually find the words and actions of the men demonstrating that their minds are below their waists or navels. This is very disheartening to a good female.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that, "Seventy-five percent of his work was with the female." Therefore, he strived mightily to make something of the Black woman. He taught her how to sew, cook, how to rear her children, how to take care of her husband, how to keep house and, in general, how to act at home and abroad. His desire was to produce a very high level of civilization through a reformed female. He took great joy in seeing our women come from a low state or condition, constantly improving themselves. He taught them about loud, raucous behavior and laughter. He loved to hear the refined speech of the female. He wanted her highly educated, cultivated and refined. He taught the female how to walk, sit and stand. He showed her "her mother's dressing room" that she had not seen in 400 years, meaning he showed her the styles of the righteous women of the East from whom she is a descendant. He loved to see her speaking with firmness to men and never being forward in the presence of men. He hated Sisters to speak to men with soft, sultry speech. He taught her, as well as the male, according to the Holy Qur'an, that both should lower their gaze when they are in each other's company. He dressed the female in such a way that men could not know the beauty of their form, but the beauty of their faces and their expressions, so that the male would not be physically attracted to her alone, but spiritually attracted to her as well.

It seems that men in the world today do not wish to marry a woman of this character and quality. In fact, when they see women of this quality, their aim is to see how easily they can break these women down, to cheapen them in the man's eyes and bring her to disgrace in her own eyes.

If a man were righteous, then he would desire a righteous woman.

When I was a young man, the boys would love to be around young girls who gave themselves away freely, and when they were together, this kind of girl would be the subject of slack talk, slander and derision. However, when they wanted to find a girl with whom they could fall in love, it would be the one that was not an easy gain.

Because of the destruction of the Black male and the preponderance of the Black female, this gives low-minded men a big field in which to play.

Instead of husbands encouraging their wives to be covered and sharing their beauty only with them, there are some men who love their women to be on display for other men to see what should only be shared with them.

There are many women today who are taking care of men because they oft-times have better paying jobs. Women are better trained and oft-times better qualified. They have nice cars, homes or apartments and furniture, but the thing that is missing in the home or apartment is a responsible man who is a provider and maintainer. So, some women look for a man, but oft-times are taking care of him. There is no woman who could honor and respect a man that she is caring for. To her, he is like her little boy.

This is why the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's work is so difficult—for he is not a leader to lead us to jobs, justice and equity alone, but his mission was and is the resurrection of us from a state of mental, moral and spiritual death. This is absolutely the hardest job that any human being can have, to transform a mind that has been broken to such a degree that the divinity of the male is hardly seen, even in those of us who achieve much "success" in this world.

I thank Allah (God) for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his 44 years of dedicated sacrifice, suffering and hard work to raise the Black man mentally, morally and spiritually from the condition that 400 years of slavery, free labor and injustice have put us in.

When we speak of repair or reparations, it will take much to repair the damage that our former slave-masters and their children have done to the Black man and woman of America and the world.

No wonder the Apostle Paul said, "Be ye not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."

We cannot renew the mind of the male and female until we uproot the idea that now rules our minds and replace it with the ideas of Allah (God).

The scholars and scientists of this world do not have a clue as to how to bring about the transformation of human life, particularly the life of the Black man and woman. This is why we praise Allah (God) for His Presence in Master W. Fard Muhammad and the great work of reform, resurrection and transformation that He began, that we are attempting to continue and bring to a new and higher level today.

To the men who read this article, cherish a virtuous woman. To the men of the Nation of Islam, seek a female from the class that is producing such women and be good men and husbands to them

To all my Queens

2007-05-04T22:50:00.000-04:00

Never forget to handle yourself with care! Precious you are and unique in your way. This is celebrated and appreciated by all who cross your path. The beauty and grace by which you move captivates all and impresses many. For your DIVINE MIND amazes and mesmerizes. For you are a measure of the greatness of ALLAH. This great nation is perpetuated through you and your wisdom. I am telling you this just in case you haven't heard it today. I want you to refer to this everyday. If I can only give you a glimpse into the BEAUTY OF BEING THE EARTH, then so be it. This is a small fraction of how my way of life makes me feel. I will that in your travels you come across individuals that value your earthliness as much as I do and as much as you should LOVE AND CHERISH YOURSELF

Men Of This World Do Not Desire A Righteous Woman

2007-04-28T20:09:00.000-04:00

In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful.

The greatest gift to any man is a virtuous woman.
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

A man who has such a woman by his side is the most blessed of men, for her virtue is a covering for him and her virtue ensures his future. Our future is made for us by the female.

Obedience...AHHH..OOO..NOT THAT WORD

2007-04-05T23:37:00.000-04:00

OBEDIENT– Submissive to the restraint or the command of authority. Submissive to the will of another. Implies compliance with the demands or requests of one in authority

I would like to begin with a question that I want all of you to ask yourselves. Do you go out into this ass backwards society and adhere to its rules and regulations and submit to its authority? Most would say yes, correct? Well then why is it that you cannot adhere to your GODS will?

The problem with this word and sisters is one of emotion and not one of logic. Minister Louis Farrakhan states "The improper handling of emotion does not allow us to grow beyond self. It makes our reasoning subjective and clouds our judgment of individuals, circumstances and events."

If you trust him be with him whole heartedly. Accept and allow him to GUIDE you. He has the best interest of his universe in mind. For a wise man looks not only at the here and now, but he is a MASTER PLANNER for the future to come. In Rising Above Emotions Into The Thinking of God It spoke of NEEDING TO RISE ABOVE EMOTION TO SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE, WHICH IS ALLAH'S WILL, AIM AND PURPOSE.

Contained in the article previously mentioned are two verses from the Holy Qur'an which I find to be applicable to this particular build. The first verse says "And as for those who believe and do good– We impose not on any soul a duty beyond its scope." Holy Qur'an,7:42.

The second verse states "And we shall remove whatever of ill-feeling is in their hearts– rivers flow beneath them. And they say: All praises due to Allah, Who GUIDED us to this! And we would not have found the way if Allah had not guided us." Holy Qur'an, 7:43.

We as woman must take the time to truly examine where the concepts that guide our actions derived from and what they are rooted in. This society has woman now a day completely backwards. You often hear woman talking that I'm independent shit. For all those who say I'm independent lets see how independent you really are. First lets examine the definitions of the word independent,

1. Not subject to control by others.

A. Society dictates to you how you must function within it (Laws). You break them then you'll be calling one of the sisters asking her to please bake a cake with a file in it. Your job and or school dictates to you an outline of unacceptable behaviors that you must not engage in. (Code of Conduct). At least know what they can fire you for..right?.

2. Not requiring or relying on something else.

B. Tell me when you can make your own money (literally). Knowing that you are broke as hell trying to make it or living on a tight budget. Tell me when you can stop working under someone to whom you must bite your tongue to and work for yourselves. You know afraid to tell your boss what you really think for fear that he or she may fire you. Tell me when you can make your own electricity. If you don't pay the bill the sun always shines until about 7 or 8 pm eastern standard time....hmm point proven.

3. Not looking to others for one's opinions or for guidance in conduct.

C. Now, now girls lets be real we seek counsel a good portion of the time. We mess up when we choose to not go to God like Earths and build to come to a resolution, Here's the kicker….instead some go ask a jaded, bitter, hating life and love, no man having , always in drama type of broad for advice on how we must conduct ourselves ….. wow… sounds crazy when you think about it. What sense does it make to ask a person not of our culture still in the dead world about the science of everything in life, love, peace, and happiness.

The bottom line is we must reshape the way that we think in order to be successful is our life endeavors and relationships.

DISCLAIMER: This article is in no way saying be a robot without thoughts of your own, nor is it saying allow yourselves to be guided by an individual who is NOT true to their CULTURE. ALLAH is GOD always has been and always will be. Those who are true and living show and prove this each and everyday in each and every way and will teach you the righteous way. (Now if you want to start singing the enlightener, I understand)

In the January edition of the Divine Wisdom we went into the topic of courtship. It talked about watching him closely, monitoring and questioning his actions. The Holy Qur'an 29:2-5 says "Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "we believe", and that they will not be tested? We did test those before them, and ALLAH will certainly know those who are true from those who are false. Do those who practice evil think that they will get the better of us? Evil is their judgment! For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah; for the term appointed by Allah is surely coming and he hears and knows all things." Simply put watch him in his way and through observation begin to question him to gain an understanding. Remember God can show and prove his own existence. I love the words SHOW AND PROVE. Also be diligent in your studies and research because things will become clearer to you as well.

Great Article

2007-03-14T11:34:00.000-04:00

The truth is that for so long we have competed against each other for men, clothes, hair, the corner office, that we’ve come to see female meanness or relational aggression between women as normal. But it is not. Something is wrong with a culture where women spend hundreds of dollars consuming magazines that publish articles and stories on how to trap a man, how to keep him happy in bed, or how to please him. If that were not enough we are psyched from young to believe that our only life’s mission is to keep men pleased by whatever means possible.
Yet, we place so very little interest in learning how to care for, nurture and encourage each other as women. If women are by nature nurturers, then why has it become more socially natural for women to nurture men and children, but not each other? Because of this ambiguity women have to now re-learn, or perhaps teach themselves how to nurture other women. The only way in which women can break the cycle of mean among women, is by making a conscious effort to nurture other women.
The only way in which women can break the cycle of mean among women, is by making a conscious effort to nurture other women.
The female cycle of mean or relational aggression among women does not have to be perpetual. When individual women begin to commit to change, female meanness can be purged from our relationships.
There are three basic principles to break the cycle. We must first stop seeing every other woman as our rival. This world is big enough for all of us to be our individual selves and still live in it peacefully. Second, we also need to create and join sisterhood circles, not cliques but safe places where women are free to unburden and be real. Third and most importantly, we must make conscious choices to replace mean with nice, kind, compassionate, and empathetic. This means that in our choices and practices we need to begin: respecting, uplifting and encouraging each other. We can apply this third principle in the following ways:
Respecting – We need to be mindful about not crossing any boundaries that might interfere in another woman’s territory - particularly when it comes to men. Our mantra should become: “I will not do to her what I would not like her to do to me”. This means that you cannot be best friends with her husband or boyfriend and expect her not to be unhappy about it. She will be, and must be, unhappy because you are disrespecting her boundaries. It doesn’t matter how harmless you and him may insist that it is, and how insecure you claim her to be, every woman who has ever betrayed another woman with her man will tell you that it all starts with innocent flirtation.
Uplifting – We need to choose to uplift women as opposed to tear down women. We will live by the motto; “If she is a woman she is my sister - even if she does not want to be mine.” This means that we must be careful about how quickly we pass judgment about other women. We need to watch what we say about her, or what we allow to be said about her in our presence and her absence. This calls for honesty, a quality that often lacks "big time" in female relationships. If something about her attitude bothers us then we need to be honest and address it with her. We must put an end to the game: “I’ll tell Shana to tell Lara so that her sister Joanna – whom we really intend the message for – may know”. Gossiping and spreading rumors about the downfalls of other women gives us a false sense of power. It is false because life is uncertain and we might find ourselves in similar if not exact same circumstances.
Encouraging - We need to stop finding flaws, defects, and blemishes in the successes and accomplishments of other women. There seems to always be a woman who can add a “but” when she hears that another woman is doing well in life, business or love. It’s a subtle put down that women use all the time. Or we often resort to censuring silence, and we totally ignore her achievement. We might go as far as to greet and talk to her about everything else except her current accomplishment - although it has already made all the headlines in our social circle. Withholding or negating applause is also another form of put down. Practice offering accolades when and where they are due. Make an intentional effort - to send her an email, buy her a card, go to her personally - just encourage her endeavors. It will not take anything away from you, it will not lower you, in fact it will only set you on a higher path to restoring and creating positive relationships with other women
