Path

From any study or way of enlightenment there is always a point of transition where you have to get ready to transform. In the martial arts the master observes you and sees if you can follow simple instructions. Sometimes it isn't about the task that he gives you. Most times it is just to see if you are going to do the damn thing.

When I first got this I ran 200 mph to everyone and if you showed a glimmer of interest I was forcing you to learn 120. Um..that sh*t didn't go too well. The vessel has to be prepared. It has to be cleaned out. It isn't just about physically fasting it is about mentally emptying the brain and simply understanding...you don't know sh*t about Allah's Mathematics as a student. You are here to learn.

Degree-wise it is about the duty of a civilized person. That degree speaks about teaching a person civilization, righteousness even before they get to the knowledge of their self. Many times that person has drank the kool aid and you have to get it out of the glass. Dump it. Rinse it also to make sure there is no sugar residue on the inside. You know the story about how a person sees a glass either 1/2 full or 1/2 empty. Either perspective is dangerous to a potential student if they keep the kool aid in the glass. Because either they try to reformat their non mathematical ways into a mathematical format or they are still drawn down by their non mathematical ways to the degree that they can't elevate. Empty the glass and rinse.

It is a journey with the person though. You have to assure them that you aren't here to change their glass. It may be of crystal or wood or ceramic. It may be indigo, burnt orange or jade. We aren't here to change the I (ego) yet we are here to connect you to your Self (non-local mind, wu shin, implicit order).

Civilization ensures that they have all of the right tools to complete the journey through 120. We never set a person up for failure. Righteousness just means that they are going in the right direction. Can you imagine teaching someone about this destination that they are supposed to reach and they are going in the wrong direction?

It is one thing to be a poor righteous teacher yet you have to make sure that you have a sincere willing student.

Nation News Aggregation

A news aggregator basically takes news from various sites (blogs, vlogs, video sites, etc) and streams them through one site. This means you don't have to check to see the updates on your 20+ sites every minute. You can just check the aggregator and it iwll update you as to when sites are updated. I have constructed on for the Gods and Earths that I will be streaming on this site. You can see it along the right tool bar. If you have a site that uses an RSS feed just port me the site and I will add it to the stream. If you're not sure send me the link anyway and I will add it on. If you are on twitter you can link directly to the new aggregator at www.twitter.com/amasia

The author(ity)

My righteous sister Serenity commented yesterday that she missed my longer blog post. I remember connecting with Serenity, who went on to become the Earth of my alike Precise, due to the fact that she had "The Headbanger" from EPMD playing on her page. That's my sh*t!! Also my first Earth's name was Serene Oasis so that's another reason why she's always been cool people's with me.

What's funny is I have not stopped writing. If anything I am writing more. I couldn't stop writing if I wanted to. I think the only person online who has expressed my sentiments has been Emblem in regards to the craft of writing. It is my craft, a compulsion, an addiction, and one of the clearest ways by which I paint upon my environment. It has never been just a hobby and recently I have also taken it to the level of being part of my livelyhood in terms of working as an editor and publisher with Supreme Design Publishing and Two Horizons Press.

I still write. I still compose poetry almost everyday. I consistently write in a journal on the daily reflecting on everything that phases through my synapses. I've even taken it to the next level lately and have been constructing my own journals. I got an ill book on book making plus another one on the masters of book making. They have been inspiring my own creations. I just recently made a journal where the paper is made using the leaves from the trees in my own backyard. As I continue in my own language studies (Nahuatl and Farsi) I am learning the Perso-Arabic script adding that to my own cursive talents of wildstyle.

So yeah. I'm still writing. I just realized that somethings aren't for everybody. Some people don't share the same value of what you are sharing. And I knowledge that seems to be a weird sentiment for someone who is blogging for the whole world to see yet those who have meditated on it have come to the other side of the koan.

Step

Just peeling an onion and listening to Foreign Exchange. Getting ready for a great week. Take seven steps. A step a day. If a year is to a mile than a foot is as to a week. The work that will get done this week will be equivalent to seven days. And for those who know the Christian parable there was always only one set of footprints. They were mine's all along.
