What Do You Stand For?

Hotep, Islam, Shalom, Greetings Family!

Thisis your Brother Sneferu, aka T2, bringing more mind to matters at hand!
Despite our daily routines, have you ever wondered, what's your purpose in life?  Better yet, is there a cause on earth, that you're willing to put your life on the line for? We all, at some point or another had those questions asked of ourselves.  It all comes down to, what you truly stand for! Let's get to it, shall we?!


The effects of one's value and worth, are inculcated through the galvanization of one's family, clan, tribe, culture, and society --affects grows respectively, but the principles obscure without proper feedback. The earlier in development one gets their value system, the harder it'll be to dislodge or rewrite a new one.  The rate of growth or fruition --or lack thereof-- of said value system, is under the control of the next -up group container (eg. family -->clan-->tribe-->etc).  Just think of it in terms of nature:

The value is the seed, and the first group container (family) would be a pot of soil --kept indoors.  As the seed grows into a larger plant or even a young tree, larger pots will be needed; until the decision of placing the plant/tree permanently in a garden, landscape, or field.  Where the prevailing effects of soil quality, rainfall, sun intensity and seasons, takes full charge of the development --the largest container (nation/empire).

Now, if one adopts a value later on, in a larger container with other seeds; there'll definitely be room too grow, but the soil consistency may be off, causing disease, or leaving room for other pestilence or weeds to grow.  Not even giving the young seed or nursling a fighting chance of survival.  If a seed is to grow, it needs to establish a healthy root system, first! Now can u see the importance of the family unit?! When the nursling is transferred to a larger container,  a great deal of the old soil is left clumped to its roots, perserving it during transfer and replanting!  So, if you don't want a certain seed to germinate, put it in a larger container full of prevalent nurslings --it'll get choked out.  If you want to dwarf a tree, just keep it in a smaller container, and regularly prune its growth.  Can you see the griot's story --read between the lines?

Afrikans have been blessed with the oldest life, wisdoms, civilizations and spiritual systems on the plant! To fashion social systems to progressivley develop mankind, into the living reflecitions of creation.  Don't take my word or research for it . . .go and research and journey for yourself ... to see for self!  All the group containers, were to be extension of the unity and purpose of family (self); working in coherence with the fundamental principles of "Ma'at." Where the teacher taught, so more teachers could teach.  Where the knowledge of self, manifested in balance, principles and monuments uncontested to this date. Where the farmer tilled the soil, with the intent to harvest the type of produce most effective for the sustenance of the people.  Where there were no words or need for prisons or chattel slavery.  Where the Creator of life was in all things, and man's journey at all time, was to be and seek the elevations of oneness... not secular or religious.

The group containers are only as good and purposeful as the people that fashioned it!  The seeds are only as valuable as to those that need to consume it!  When a people indoctrinate systems to dwarf the Tree of Life . . .it can only lead me to question:  WHAT DO I STAND FOR?  Not for death, bondage and heinous destruction for sure!  I will stand and die for a people, who have shown and proven through the ages . . .TIME WILL TELL ALL THINGS ....MAN KNOW THYSELF!  A people that nurtured civilizations from the self to grand empires, that were continuous and uninterrupted for thousands --if not longer-- of years.  Do as you wish, but I'll continue to keep my eyes on the prize ...knowing and growing self!

Keep inspired to help yourself and othersstand for something worthwhile.  Read, comprehend and learn more, to make theworld a better place. . .Substance people, substance!
