Word that begin with EN: Enslave (Part 1)

by in Metaphysics | 2 Comments

 

 

Previous post of words that begin with EN: Enlighten, Enjoy

 

From the Melanated Man:

 

enslave

-make (someone) a slave.

-cause (someone) to lose their freedom of choice or action.

 

slave

-a person legally owned by another and having no freedom of action or right to property.

-a person who is forced to work for another against his will.

-a person under the domination of another person or some habit or influence: a slave to television.

 

(I have been waiting for the right time to do a post on this word. Granted I wanted slightly more followers before I put it out there, but that’s OK.)

 

Based off the previous posts, we know the etymology of the letters EN (-in, -inward, -inside.) It has been established that everything that relates to life comes from within ourselves. We create our realities, on an conscious and unconscious level.

So how is it that we, black-melanated individuals, let another people enslave us in ALL ways imaginable?

Were they (Caucasians) really that clever and powerful  for us to be enslaved by them?

Or did we voluntarily place ourselves into slavery? Is it really that hard to believe?!

This took place LONNGGG before the formation of the United States…

before the Transatlantic Slave Trade…

and even before *Jesus Christ the Savior died on the cross!!!

(I recommend reading the book *The Destruction of the Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams. It explains how black-melanated civilization was systemically deconstructed into its current state, beginning over 6000 years ago in ancient Egypt and Ethiopia.)

 

At some point in our history thousands of years ago, black-melanated people slowly but surely gave up the fight for their freedom and liberation. We decided that *OUR way of life wasn’t enough. We made the choice to assimilate the others’ (Caucasoid Asians, Europeans) culture into ours; we never thought the worse  of the others’ motives or intentions. Also, we never trusted each other (which is still occurring to this day) to fight and protect OUR culture and way of life.

Even if there were guns and diseases destroying our civilization, we did NOT have to surrender. We could have fought to our deaths and/or extinction (doesn’t sound worth it, huh?), and in some cases WE DID, but it was the exception NOT the rule. We were only concerned by our survival, not our THIRIVAL.

How has black-melanated enslaved themselves into today?

In a nutshell, becoming acclimated into Western standard of modern society, which includes:

how we EAT,

*where and how we LIVE,

*how we are EDUCATED,

*how we WORK to obtain the American Nightmare Dream,

*our BELIEF systems (religion),

…damn it, basically everything!!!! We are Western society’s ultimate consumer.

Our current mental enslavement  is definitely a product of our self-surrender. How come?

We don’t appreciate OR understand our value to the planet and the universe, which is why we have been taken advantage of for so long by the others.

Somewhere along the line we forgot WHO we were/are….

ED vs. EL: Eating Meat, Huh?!

by in Uncategorized | 3 Comments

 

From the Melanated Man:

 

 

Do we need any meat for that matter??

 

So what is my  beef with eating meat, so to speak?

You know these animals we are partaking at the dinner table have lives too, right? ANIMALS LIVES MATTER!!! Chickens, cows, pigs, etc. have to undergo so much torture before they actually meet their end:

Chickens get their necks wrangled or slit OR they are scalded alive…

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-farming/chickens/chicken-transport-slaughter/

 

Cows  have to travel many miles to a slaughtered house; by the time they get there they dehydrated and sickly, where are they are then shot in the HEAD…

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-farming/cows/cow-transport-slaughter/

 

Pigs have to endure the a combination of torture and death that cows and chickens go through…

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-farming/pigs/pig-transport-slaughter/

 

And fish, well, you take them out of the water and it’s a done deal.

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/factory-farming/fish/commercial-fishing/

 

(I’m not a big fan of PETA and their politics (Michael Vick?) but I do agree with their message of protecting animals that quite honestly don’t have many protection rights.)

 

On a spiritual/metaphysical level, there is a consequence to eating animals that have been killed so gruesomely. At their moment of death they have an extremely high level of fear within themselves, which is stained within the blood after their life force has left their tattered bodies (animals have souls too.) When you eat dead blood you are also eating their fear, which manifests within your own being.

It causes you to live your life within THE MATRIX!

You become afraid to take chances and to think OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!

The more of the dead blood that you eat, you take on the characteristics of the DOMESTICATED! We are told how and when to eat/shit/sleep, where and how to live (or aspire TO live), and what we can and can not do (destinies are set).

And like a domesticated animal, you have become TAMED!

Tamed from your NATURAL SELF!

Death becomes you as you partake of death. We are what we consume.

It’s funny the more I think about it, due to the fact that most of our people are church-going, spiritual folk. Yet after church on Sundays, where are we running off to?

Church’s Chicken, KFC, Popeye’s, Longhorn’s, Golden Corral, etc., etc., etc.!!! The pastor included. If the pastor is eating dead blood, and he’s suppose to be preaching the Living Word?! Isn’t that a contradiction in itself?

Right.

 

From my personal experience with abstaining from eating meat, I realized how much work it took my body to break it down. I took a 90 day sabbatical from eating meat and the first time I ate chicken (fried chicken at that!) I felt like my body aching all over for the next 36 hours AFTER EATING IT! Fried chicken (or pretty much anything fried) is a major staple of our cuisine. If my body took this much energy breaking down fried chicken, can you imagine how much it took to break down steak? Or some RIBS???

 

Some good-ass ribs!!

Advisory Note: The itis (that magical, sleepy, tired feeling you get after eating what is shown above) is NOT a good thing. It leads to all types of health issues or dis-eases such as weight gain, acid reflux, heartburn, strokes, and heart attacks.

 

I had the itis after eating that chicken. I could physically feel that chicken taking my energy/life force away.  I felt suppa-duppa weak! And ever since then I have be done with meat.

I took a risk in fasting that 90 days. Deep down I knew that there may be a chance that I would never eat meat again. My body would not be able to readjust to breaking it down. My knowledge base BEFORE my fast was expanding; I had already began to cut meat from my diet 3 to 4 days out of week. My life has TRANSFORMED, for the better, because of it.  And I appreciate the lives of animals even more so than before. I appreciate MY LIFE even more so than before.

Eating meat everyday, at least three (3) times a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year takes its toll.You multiply that over a 70 year life span, you would have eaten meat at LEAST 76,650 times in your lifetime. Does not seem like alot, right?

Well, when you factor in the cancer-causing antibiotics you have to treat your meat with..

Along with the fact that your meat may be also processed (contaminated) to preserve its shelf life..

Did you forget about how much energy/life force it takes your body to process that meat, as well as the metaphysical/spiritual side to it?

AND it takes your body NO LESS than 24 hours to digest said meat? When you multiply the 3 times a day we eat meat by 365, it totals to 3 years taken from your life within one (1) year. Now multiply those 3 years by 70; it equals 210 years taken from your life by eating meat 3 times a day!!

Can you IMAGINE living an extra 200 years?! Honestly, YOU CAN’T! Sure all of this foolishness  may be hypothetical and theoretical, but when you think about it, it’s not as far-fetched as many may believe, in my opinion.

 

 

As I mentioned before, you are what you consume. DEATH! Which is why we are dying of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, AIDS, even common colds, etc. Our bodies can not breathe and we are over-working our organs. Meat causes your body to become acidic, which causes your body to become toxic.

“But what about protein?You need protein!!”

Ever heard of beans and peas? And there are many, MANY vegetables that pack a major protein punch (spinach, please?) You ever wondered where these animals that we eat get their protein from? You need to cut out the middle man, or middle chicken/cow/pig/fish for that matter. 

Eating meat is about as bad as shooting up cocaine or smoking Marlboros. You just don’t see the US government outlawing it or the Surgeon General placing a label on the pack.

Are the powers that be really concerned about our well-being? Oh, I forgot, my eating condition won’t let me think OUTSIDE THE BOX.

 

For those of you who are still eating meat, I want you to consider taking a step back and think/be conscious about what you are eating at the dinner table. Something was sacrificed for your enjoyment/pleasure. Think about this, if push came to shove, and there were not enough animals to feed the planet, would you eat a HUMAN BEING? If you eat animal flesh everyday, it wouldn’t be a shock if you started to eat HUMAN FLESH.

 

Is it really that much of a difference???

 

 

Peace and love to my melanated family,

The Melanated Man

What Sparked My Transformation (Part 1)

by in Eating to Die vs. Eating to Live, Metaphysics, Randomness... | 7 Comments

 

 

From the Melanated Man:

 

For most of my young life I had a normal American childhood. Besides the fact that my parents divorced when I was 10 and I discover only a couple years after their divorce that they ADOPTED me at birth, my childhood was pretty normal.  I played my video games, watched my Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, played outside with my friends, and pretty much ate whatever the hell I wanted.

 

That sounds like a normal, healthy childhood right?! Maybe the playing outside in the SUN. *I had stressors just like every other American kid, so I ate to ease the stress.

 

I played football in middle school and high school. I played fullback and defensive tackle, so if you are not familiar with the positions, that meant I had to be a hefty boy to play that position. Plus I was lifting weights, so I thought HAD to eat a lot to obtain the energy to sustain the activity. I weighed between 260-270 pounds in high school. Some of it was muscle and most of it was fat.

Unfortunately my football talent did not transfer to the collegiate level; I carried that weight with me to college anyway. I collected that dreadful “Freshmen Fifteen”  during my freshmen and sophomore years.

And like everybody else, I thought *gaining weight was normal as you got older since our metabolism slows down as you age.

Plus, *college is stressful, especially if you’re majoring in engineering. So eating was my joy and stress reliever.

My last year in college I became semi-conscious and decided that I wanted to lose some weight. And I did; I dropped down from 275 pounds to 210 pounds around my graduation. I only ate less of the bad stuff, not totally cut it out; then I exercised more often.

I had one more year of indoctrination college, so my stress level was pretty low of course.

 

(Reminiscing…)

 

Looks scrumptious, doesn’t it?!

 

I used to eat your regular 3 meals a day from a child to a young adult, plus snacks. I was a growing boy. I ate the normal palette: from fried chicken to steak and ribs, from OVERCOOKED collard greens to sweet potato soufflé, from pecan pies to red velvet cakes and king sized Snickers bars. I used to LOVE some Barq’s Root Beet, especially that rare Barq’s Red Cream Soda you can only find at movie theaters. Of course I loved sweet tea as well. I would destroy all-you-can- eat buffets with ease. I WAS A GROWING BOY REMEMBER?!

 

…Now back to the story.

 

I thought I really accomplished something with that weight loss. Not to mention I was receiving my civil engineering degree at the same time. Life was good; I was on Cloud Nine.

 

And then it was downhill from there.

 

I started working for a small BLACK-OWNED civil engineering firm, alternating from office work to field work on regular occasions. At the same time I’m trying to balance a long-distance relationship with my fiancée. So the stressors of getting paid kibbles and bits as new employee, and not seeing my woman that often by eating. ENJOYING myself eating. I gain a couple pounds here and there; slowly but surely, the BIG GUY is coming back.

Two years after graduation, I technically still have a job with the firm, but work is so slow those kibbles and bits becomes almost non-existent. Not to mention my fiancée is pregnant, with two years of medical school to finish. So I continue to eat…

 

…ALOT…

 

…Another two years later, I am out of work with a fiancée, an infant child and another one on the way.

 

At this point, my weight had reached 290 pounds!!! Ain’t that a bitch?!

 

(More background on the situation…)

 

Just to give a better understanding of my plight at this point, not only was I not working, me and my fiancée, with our baby girl and another on the way, are living with the in-laws! 

Granted my pregnant fiancée was able to finish her last year close to home AND me, but still… 

I’m stuck at my in-laws’ house looking after my infant child. Needless to say, that situation contributed to my madness. Is it a cliché to dislike your in-laws?

 

I let the stress of my life situation, which I take 100% blame for, get the best of me (I should have foreseen my job being lost, and worn a condom to prevent further nonsense. SMH.)

I had a family that I couldn’t take care of financially. Not being able to find a job in my field was a very humbling situation. Being a Christian believer I dealt with the guilt of having children out of wedlock, which caused me a great deal of stress.

All of my relationships, old and new, were influx as well, which caused me even more stress.

My pregnant fiancée  and I  were nearly on the brink of pre-marital divorce. Also I lost beloved members from my family circle: my aunt who was a matriarch of my extended family, an uncle who served as a patriarch, and my very own dad. All of them died from heart attacks! All before retirement age, which still may be 65.There were other family members who passed as well from various illnesses that seem all to common for OUR community.  

AND, my mom  was having heart issues of her own during this time.

Queue the violins…

I figured my loved ones either had bad genetic luck or were called home by Jesus Christ. I also figured they probably didn’t take care of themselves the best way they should have, but it’s only so much you can do, right?

I still didn’t connect the dots with the FOOD I was eating, or the life I was taught to live in general.

I assumed I just needed to cut down on my *calories and get back to exercising and I would gradually lose the weight as I did in college.

I needed to keep applying for jobs in my field and hopefully my luck would change. Put on that good CORPORATE WHITE act to get in the door.

I needed to learn to manage my stress better as well. People gain and lose jobs all the time. Loved ones die as they get older. Shit happens. That’s life.

 

“All will be well in due time,” I thought. “I have the American spirit to achieve. God still favors me.”

 

First, I needed a change of scenery…

to get away from the NORMAL I had been used to all of my life up to this point…

to save a marriage that had not even started yet…

raise my children the way I saw fit…

to get the HELL out of my in-laws house…

…so I can rediscover myself.

 

So far I have gotten more than I bargained for…
