And man do we have some game and clarity for you today...
Initiation, Culture, and Cosmology... What do they mean to the game and how can they assist you in it?
When it comes to discussing our Culture, I'm ever to often met with a degree of skepticism from those that a not affluent in either understanding or balls enough to lead instead of follow. Though fear has much to do with the failure and skepticism of many when it come to understanding and practicing authentic culture, I don't believe it holds to blunt of the weight in hold people back from becoming affluent in Authentic Afrikan Culture and Life Science. I believe its a failure of Clarity...
"And if there's anything that im great at its discerning and making things VVS Clear" - G.O.D (GoldXGame. OilXCulture. DiamondXClarityInScience)
Lets start with Initiation. Outside of a Greek Society perspective, most blacks are completely in the dark when it comes to initiation and its importance. Its also safe to say that most blacks inside Greek Societies are also just as in the dark as those outside, but I digress. The point is there is a wealth of golden game out there just waiting to be dug.. Ya Digg? Outside of the accepted dominant societal definition, I acknowledge only ONE acceptable definition for initiation. And that is Knowledge of Self... Simple is Classy! In understanding the dept of that definition, it would be best to clarify that THERE IS ONLY ONE kind of Authentic Initiation. And that is "SELF Initiation". Yet, definitions do not make you affluent. Your Vehicle does! And by vehicle I mean culture...
You see that is what We, the Black La Familia, are lacking. An authentic understanding and appreciation for the Science of Culture. Ie: the vehicle to our success. Now, without said vehicle, or at MINIMAL, an "Appreciation" for said vehicle, ie culture, You will be lost wondering in the desert for the next 40 years of your life. But luckily for you, you're following HighLife and not Moses, so run with me while we proceed to fuck up some commas...
You see my definition for our Culture is Structure by the way of Life Science! A systematic way of analyzing and evaluating, your personal psychology, the psychology of others, your emotions, your environment, the past, and the Future...
Now peep. This life science, mental gold, has always been apart of the Afrikan psychology. Its always been apart of the Black Household. Its been right there under our nose preserving itself by way of Big Mama. Or who I like to call, Grandma'at!
The term Big Mama is more than just someones grandmother. Simply being old is not enough. Big Mama is globally known for being the "Elder" of the Urban Renaissance. She is renowned for he wisdom and insight. And most importantly, her Woman's Intuition! Ie. her ability to look into the future. Yet an authentic understanding of life science shows that this "woman's intuition" that's so majestic and feared among the blackmen and children of the black household and diaspora is nothing more than a mildly exercised use of analytical skills, but I digress not to take anything way from the power and influence of the black woman. More so only to further highlight the importance and necessity of having a vehicle(Authentic Culture).
You see I emphasize "mildly exercised" because this female intuition has no vehicle. Big Mama, though she had hella insight that was and is worthy of hella praise and appreciation, didn't fully understand what she had or was doing. Same today as you hear females simply put it "Something Told Me to...", do not themselves understand that which they do. Again cause it has no vehicle. You see intuition is not tangible. Insight can not be passed down anymore than talent. Michael Jordan's son is no more likely to become the next Michael Jordan simply because he is Michael Jordan's son. Talent is not genetic. A skill or trait maybe. The fact that one has direct experience with a successful person who has talent can increase your chances of becoming successful, yet without a vehicle to efficiently pass that skill on, it will die with its original owner. You see Big Mama and past generations did not have the woes of television and heavy media. They did not have the convenience of google, wal mart, welfare, minimum wage, ect. They did not have the luxury of the Library. So raw talent and their ability to think was a Must. We today have lost that ability. And since we were not privileged to practicing our authentic culture, being engulfed by a Greek/European culture and such, a SYSTEMATIC way of thinking was not planted in the future generations. Especially, seeing how Thinking was looked at as a Talent in yesteryear instead of a Culture or Necessity.
Now peep. Self Initiation is the process of sharpening ones mental capabilities in order to not only become autonomous, ie. self governing, but also develop the ability to SYSTEMATICALLY process information also know as Technology. You see that's the part that European studies has been keeping from you or unaware of. Is that Initiation is a Technology. Its a Life "Science". It is Systematic...
Systematic means One not only has the ability to give an answer or a thought, but has the ability to use said Technology as a tool. The practice of said technology or tool usage develops into Culture. It means the game can now be systematically passed to the next giving birth to Affluent Traditions. It means One can now not only tell another what to do or why to do it, but it can and has been cultivated into the development and usage of all Seven of the Liberal Arts. It means Big Mama can now give not only rhyme and reason, but give Birth to Traditions. This in turn transforms Big Mama into Grandma'at meaning she will now have full understanding of the substratum of her intuition and its representation of an attribute of the Supreme Being or the entire Cosmology of the Culture.
You see Self Initiation give you the ability to not only look into the past, peer into the future, and look around corners, not only an uncanny ability to solve problems, but Self Initiation gives you the ability to CREATE problems to be solved. That's right, Self Initiation gives you the ability to Generate Work. Now imagine the Black La Familia Culture being the Generation of Work ie: Economics. Now let that sit while we prepare PT2...
