Dear Black Jews

This message is for those Black Jews who came in from the secular world and into Judaism and found racism and left.

Coming to Judaism from the secular world, is like jumping from the frying pan and into the fire.  That can be a bad thing.  But it can also be a good thing.  Let me explain.

It can be a bad thing, of course, because that is not what we are looking for.  In our quest for truth, it seemed -- at least from the outside -- that Judaism offered the absolute truth, the straight, no chaser truth, deep knowledge and pious people all concerned only with performing mitzvoth and beautifying those mitzvoth.  But then we have the rude awakening, some of those very same people who looked so gorgeous from the outside, weren't so nice up close and personal.  It was all marketing.  Up close and personal, they find your skin something they must distance themselves from.  Their very holy books disparage black skin, so how can they, the people who read and learn from those books not do otherwise?  And there you have it.  A whole society based on books and teachings that slander black skin and there you are in the middle of it all.  Bad thing.

It can also be a good thing.  If you are a Black Jew that came from the outside, from the secular world, then that means you jumped through many hoops to get to where you are.  That means you observed the secular world and saw how harsh it was, how cruel it could be, and took action for yourself in the hopes of finding better.  And you did find better!  You jumped from the frying pan and straight into the fire.  Straight into the source for many of the racism that is going around.  The idea that Black people should be slaves, the idea that they are inferior, etc.  All of this can be backed up with midrashim. 

But here's the kicker.  The fact that you made it this far means that you are a fighter.  A tired one, but a fighter nonetheless.  The Matrix red pill taker.  Now you have the noble task of learning and growing in Judaism and becoming such a talmid chacham, or your children becoming such a talmid chacham that you can mitigate this ugly judgement that many so happily will place upon Black folks.  You can come up with -- after you are learned -- midrashim of your own, divinely inspired responsas, and mitigate the judgement that Jews have placed on Black folks.  Sure, most would probably not accept it.  But once it's out into the world, they will have to recon with it.  And it will already be a powerful voice in shamayim in defense of Black people in the world.

You didn't ask for this fight.  Hashem picked you.  Only be strong and courageous like Yehoshua ben Nun.  Study Torah incessantly.  Make it your friend.  The whole reason that there are converts in the first place is so that they bring new things, fresh thoughts, new blood to Judaism.  The whole reason for the galut/exile is to bring in converts.  Of course, the born Jews won't be too happy about it.  But this is Hashem's plan.  Many of the apparent gatekeepers my not be happy with your convictions and may not even invite you to their homes.  Did you come for the gefilte fish or did you come for Hashem?

There is a reason why so many Africans are interested in Judaism, but yet very few are let in.  There is a reason why some Black Americans feel drawn to Judaism, but yet are not welcomed or once welcomed, are mistreated to the point that they walk right out.  Two reasons actually.  Erev Rav and old man Yatzer Hara.

Something is trying to be born.  Judaism is trying to give birth.  But the midwives want to kill the child before it's even born.  A yin-yang balance is trying to happen in the Jewish world.  As the Jews begin to embrace how beautiful blue eyes are on their babies, as they admire blond Jews, as they embrace the idea that maybe they can be accepted now into whiteness, Hashem brings the balance.  The Black Jew.  The strength, the steadfast, the solid black man and woman, well known for their spirituality, their honesty, their cool confidence (which could give way to strong emunah), and their blackness (uh-oh!).

However, the Erev Rav are busy massaging the Jewish people to sleep.  The last thing they want is Woke Black folks turning things up.  Black folks?  Those people who like to keep things real?  Keep things 100?  They'll ruin the jig! Not what the Erev Rav wants.  But the Jewish people need you more than you realize.  More than you need them.

The Yatzer Hara encourages them to follow the Erev Rav to sleep.  How long they have wanted Esav to love them.  To embrace them.  Some of them, of course.  An unrequited love affair has been danced for years only to culminate in the tragic holocaust.  The yatzer hara again is lulling the Jewish people to sleep again with the idea that if they team up with other countries -- land grabbing countries, then everyone will understand that they, Israel, is not like them - not a land grabber, but a tribal people who is reclaiming their land from foreign occupation.  The yatzer hara encourages that they push for western values in the name of acceptance by the Western world, the very place that packages and distributes global white supremacy (even disparaging Jews).

So you see, you've come to the right place if you were fed up with the cruelties of the world, fed up with its harshness, its racism, etc.  You have arrived at it's very doorstep.  Are you seriously going to turn away and not make a dent? After coming so far?

Neshama News

September 2017.  Grassroots organization gave birth to Black Lives Matter some time ago.  Unfortunately, George Soros and his money found a way to derail that organization and turned it into a circus show with the new volunteers going to Israel or to South Dakota or anywhere else but a black place to shout about whatever the breeze is blowing at the moment.  But thankfully, the message did not go away.  It was revived when many NFL player and other sports players, including Colin Kaepernick, knelt down during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

Finally, the U.S. president, Trump decided to help out this situation by adding his two cents in. Basically, he called the peaceful protesters, "son of a bitch"!



There you have it, folks.  The prez. dissing members of his own nation protesting peacefully.

In other news, Master P Makes 'Em Say  Sports League.  Yes, he has created a black owned sports league and a team. Now its up to us to breath life into it.  Its mixed gender. This is the key to success. Action -- thought out action.  Here's to wishing Master P the greatest of success!



Find your place in the organization. Black folks are galvanizing to recreate their world.  Don't be left behind.  find the circle that works for you.  In Atlanta, Georgia, Black women will be host the first ever, "Natinoal African American Women's Conversation" Saturday, October 7.2017.

Winning

The world is renewed every day.

If you give someone a gift, you put it in his hand and then retract your hand, that retracting of the hand is the satan. If you give a parting friend a big bear hug and a squeeze, then release, that release is the satan.

 The satan is like the limitation of good, the ending, the force of negativity, the resceding or recessive force -- you pick the best word or phrase to mean this.  And just like all forces, you can picture it as a vector. Mathematically, a vector is an arrow that goes in one direction and doesn't stop or turn -- until blocked.

All the forces -- or angels -- or vectors (however you want to call them)  can be tapped into. Like hitching a ride. People who choose to be lazy and/or stupid (going after their desires despite the fact that its not beneficial for the world) are riding on a particular force. These forces/angels/vectors connect to us via emotions and traits. We are like chariot riders holding the reins to the forces like horses to go from place to place.   We should be in control of the emotions/ traits/angels/vectors.  But each group of people have a tendency to not have good control of a certain type of force.

The more "watered down" the person or group  is whether physically/ genetically or mentally, the more there will be forces that they do not have good control over. In Esau's case, its the urge to end things (satan),

This is why the foundation (private parts) of black folks is so  important and so feared and seen as such an enemy -- to these forces! These parts produce people who, theoretically, should be able to control all the forces and not have one  trait or emotion overwhelm him -- i.e. not need a guardian angel or not be compelled to do anything out of great foolish desires.

But we are not supposed to know that for some reason.

So why not destroy that "force of ending"? I once heard a story:

 A man who traveled to a certain land and he saw that everyone was living nicely.  There were many people young and old and no one died before their time. He loved this place and wanted to live amongst the people there.  The elders told him he can, but only he must keep the tradition of being always truthful. He said he would. Time passed. He found a wife, had children, etc.  One day a friend of his wife came to the door to visit the wife.  He didn't want to say that his wife was in the outhouse so he said, "she's not home!"  His desire was so great to "look good" he didn't even want to say "She's busy," lest it implies that she's in the bathroom.  The next thing people started dying (ending) early. The village was upset.  Who had brought the Satan in?  They made inquiries and found out that the newcomer had lied.  They sent him out from their town to restore peace.

Basically, the ending can end when we peel back the lies from the truth. (the secret of the circumcision) peeling back the desires from the truth.

Another story:

Gd decided to create the world and he summoned three ministers, Peace, Kindness, and Truth.  "What do you think of my creating a man?" He asked.
Kindness said, "Oh, yes! Make man. The kindness they will do for one another will be unbelievable!"Peace said, "NO! Don't make man.  They will make war and there will not be peace!"Truth said, "NO! Don't make man.  They will bring falsehood and there will be no truth!"
So, Gd took Truth and casted it down to the ground and made man.

The "keeping it real" that we do, I believe is one of the main pillars that has helped Black folks endure as long as we have.

 *            *               *            *             *             *              *              *            *             *      

But now there is a new problem.  The charming (read: lying) white men who charm the Black women. And the white woman prize that Black men so badly seek.

After growing up with a constant diet of white men heros, the hero's prize being the white woman, white men romance movies, the subject of the romance being white women, movies with white men always in positions of power, always the good guys, always the successful ones, the end prize being always the white woman, etc. And even more so now with Black women used as sidekicks to some of these "meals," it's very hard to appeal to Black women and assure them that Black men are the right choice or even A choice to begin with. And it's very hard to appeal to Black men and assure them that Black women are actual prizes or even A choice to begin with.

The solution is this

First to recognize that there will always be a fuzzy line where interracial marriages happen.  This may be to the disatisfaction of white supremists, but they were the ones who  brought Black folks here to begin with and then they display to them this constant image  of white being the right and don't allow them to promote their own image. What did they expect?

 This may also rub pan-Africans the wrong way, as well.

At any rate, the best solution I can see for that is 

1. Media must go.  It really isn't beneficial for us to continue giving our eyes and ears (and heart) to their media. By now we should know that and have the strength to not watch their shows. Entertainment is distraction from life.  We need it once in a while, but not too much.
2. If we need the distraction at all, it's worth it to create our own. Even if it's mediocre in the beginning.
3. With our own media, we can portray a perception of success. This will strengthen  the bond between Black men and Black women -- depending on the shows that get put out.
4. We do have to create our own industries successfully, create our own food supplies, clothing, etc. And be the success that we need to be.  Its like why exist if we can't be successful?  Why forever struggle?  This may feel Darwin-ian  but it's really about creating our world and living our lives.

These are easier said than done.  Right now the lies are spreading like wildfire and there's not many interested in stomping out the fire.  But at least here -- one of many blueprints are out.

Why then?

I believe that Black folks are inherently good people.  But why do they commit such wrongs?  You all hear about the black on black crime -- they make sure you don't forget (and don't think about the massive white on white crime, and white on everybody else crime, etc).  So what gives?  And more importantly, how do we get out of this mess?

Going back to the story of Hham in the ark.  There was the ark, there was Hham and in the ark way above at the top was something to bring light.  Some say it was a window, others say it was a precious stone.

The top had to constantly give light for the ark.

Fast forward to today.  We have Torah, which can only be written on skin.  This Torah is kept in a closet called the Ark.  And above this ark is a fire which must constantly burn (or in modern times a light that has to be kept going).

Do you detect any similarities?

A deeper meaning can be found in Likutei Moharan.  The Torah or the teacher who teaches others is the center.  Those who come around to learn is the ark.  In the case of a teacher, the ark would be his students.  But the students are coming with all their defects, all their misunderstandings, ignorance, and so on - like all the animals in the Noah's ark (bear-anger, fox-slyness, etc).  When they come to the teacher, they bring all this to the teacher.

Understandably, if the teacher is not strong, he can easily succumb to all these evil inclinations that the students are bringing to him.  He can get as angry as a bear, sly as a fox, mean as a (insert animal with this trait here), as busy as a rabbit (if you know what I mean).  All those things rolled into one!! What will keep him strong?  The original fire that burned in his heart for G-d, for good in the world, for good for his people, etc.  That fire is the equivalent of the constant fire that must always stay lit above the ark.

By the grace of G-d and His many Blessings, Black folks have wowed the world for a long time now.  Whether its the amazing pyramids, the teachings that many greek scholars sought to gain in the universities in Timbuktu, the proverbs, the wisdoms, the strength, the beauty, etc. there is always something to behold from Black folks.  Something to emulate.  Something to seek from them.

Because of this, many come.  But as they come so too they  bring their ignorance, their misunderstandings, their evil inclinations, their evil ways and thoughts.  Unless we are fortified to the hilt and understand that we must stay strong against -- against -- their inclinations, it's not worth the bother.  Save it for the extremely wise and extremely strong among us.

May our hearts stay strong with the desire to do good, to be good, and to have a goodly world to live in for us and for our children and our children's children...


post script - there are those who come with an even greater evil, more than all of the evils combined.  The great arrogance.  No amount of wisdom can overcome arrogance.  The only thing that can defeat this is simple humility.

Why Are We Black? Turn from Evil and Do Good!

This understanding came to me one night.  I pray it is used for good.

Everything in the physical world has its corresponding connection in the spiritual world which in turn has its corresponding connection in other realms and so on and so forth.

For example:

Some very important connections to know going forward is:

sun rays = judgement, harsh judgement
water = mercy and/or Torah.
rainbow = sunrays hitting water.  judgement hit by mercy.


In the story of Noach and the flood, it was a time when people became very corrupt.  Previously, low angels called, Nefillim, fell into the earth with the intent of f*cking with people.  The resulting children from this rape were white children doing and encouraging corruption to everyone else and everywhere.  The corruption went down even unto the animals and plants, almost effecting even the ground.

As a result, so many were doing wicked things.  G-d gave the world a good spanking for their bad behavior.  This flood was an interesting "punishment" meted out with mercy and judgement.  The flood waters represent mercy, but it came in an overwhelming way and drowned the people and cleansed the earth.  Afterwards the sun (which represents harsh judgement) came out.  That was the punch hidden in the mercy.

Luckily for Ham, while in the shelter of the ark, he had a revelation.  Ham had "intercourse" in the ark.  Just as we write that "Adam knew Chava" it is meant to mean that Adam had intercourse with Chava, gaining knowledge and having intercourse are similar and interchangeable.

So Ham realized and knew something while in the ark.  According to some sages, the ark was lit with a sapphire stone.  Precious stones vibrate -- they are often used on the body to open blocks and to correct behaviors. So, Ham starred at this precious stone and had a revelation -- from this he saw through the mercy, through harsh judgement that was hidden within the mercy, and even  the next coming "flood"

This is why the history of the people from Ham is so similar to the history of the Jewish people.

SIMILARITIES:

• Ham went into the ark before the flood of waters came down.  In the story of the Hebrews, they went to the foot of the mountain before the flood of Torah came down  

• Ham was said to have had intercourse while in the ark and the flood was coming down.  In the story of the Hebrews, it is taught that they were under a "wedding canopy" when they received the Torah.  And just like a wedding, in order to consumate the wedding, the couple must have intercourse..

• After the ark experience, Ham was met with racism.  After the Torah experience, the Jewish people were met with anti-semitism.

• After the ark, Ham saw Noach polluting the ground again and acted on it.  Noach grew a vineyard.  Eventually, got drunk, striped down and went into the tent.  Remember, the last sin before the flood was illicit sexual acts and spilling seed.  Ham did not want another repeat of the ruination of his world, so he acted on it to stop Noach.  Noach was a righteous man in his time.  Meaning, back in his day, he was the best of the worse.  But after the ark incident, Ham rose higher in righteousness whereas Noach stayed the same.  This created jealousy.  Also, with the Hebrews, after receiving the Torah, antisemitism came into the world.  Three had "intercourse" in the ark.  Ham, the raven, and the dog.  As a result, as the teachings go, Ham was stricken in the skin.  The raven was made to spit.  And the dog was fit to be tied.

• The dog is now considered "man's best friend" in many societies.  They love the dog.  They keep it and feed it.  They tie it to their homes.  The dog has graduated away from the animal world and is almost a part of the human world.
• The raven has the ability to speech even better than the parrot.  With their intelligence, which is like that of a seven year old human child combined with their ability to speak, which is strictly a human quality, the raven, too, has graduated away from the animal world and almost entered the human realms.
• Now Ham, who is already human, is stricken in the skin.  When a parent wants a child to do something, the speak to the child.  If the child doesn't listen, the parent speaks louder, even shouting.  If the child still doesn't listen, the parent may strike the child.  Striking is like a loud, thunderous speech.  When Ham was "stricken" in the skin, it's Gd speaking strongly into Ham giving him teachings and instructions. With this understanding and knowledge, Ham almost left the human world and almost entered the angelic world.This message, which we call melanin, has the instructions and guidelines for us.

• Ham's son, Canaan, was said by the disgraced Noach that he should be a "slave of slaves."  Jewish Torah commentator, Shlomo Yitzchaki, aka RASHI, spread it to mean Ham and all his descendants would be "slave of slaves."  Interestingly, Black people fight for the civil rights of many who have no voice and who cannot fight on their own.  Even when they don't fight, many who are oppressed hang on to the stories of Black civil right leaders and Black Panthers and others to gain strength to fight another day.  The Jewish people were said they should be a "priest unto the nations."  Another thankless job.  Just as the Jewish people were able to regain their land, Israel, so too this gives hope to the Native Americans, the Aboriginals of Australia, and others that they can regain their land and tongue back.

• Later on Canaan travels to Israel, then called the Land of Canaan. Later on the Jewish people travel to Israel, then they changed the name to Land of Israel.

It is taught that Ham was blessed black as the raven, Jaffeth was blessed white, and shem was blessed black.

Because Ham was able to peer through and see the future with a vision, he understood how to behave, how important truth was, and how to live in harmony with the world.  Which he was prepared to do.  He had a Torah written into his skin and was bound to live righteously or face terrible consequences.  Just as Shem's descendants were given Torah on Mount Sinai -- that can only be written on (cow) skin to live by. The skin is the testimony of Black people being bound to Gd --hence, the fact that so many can rightfully say they are Gd or Gdesses.  And the Torah, which can only be written on skin is for all others who wish to take up righteous living and be bound to Gd as well.

Back to the story of Noach.  After the great flood in Noach's time, when things began to dry up a little, the sun began to shine, meaning judgement has now come (fist part of the diagram).  The waters (mercy) had come ahead and did most of the job so that the sun's rays (i.e. the harsh judgement) hardly had anyone to get..  But what happens when water meets the sun's ray?  The colors get separated like a prism.

The judgement became scattered.

A short story:
There was once a king who was so angry with his son he ordered a big bolder to be thrown at him to kill him.  When the day came to do this, he felt so bad since he didn't give his son a second chance but he couldn't remove the decree.  So what did he do?  He ordered that the bolder be broken into little bits, that way each little bit will be thrown at the son and not much damage will happen, thus sparing his life.

With each color separated -- each judgement separated -- it went to different people depending on what they deserved -- depending on what they were a vessel for.  But Ham, having had his vision, was pure and was blessed black (Shem too).

When we're dealing with light, we are dealing with physics.  And in physics the lack of color is Black (unlike chemistry).  And a combination of all the colors -- all the judgements -- is white.

Thus no color = no judgement came upon him, and therefore, he was Black.  Someone who was very bad, who did all the wrong things, all the judgement went on them and they would be all the colors combined --white.

We are black because we turned away from evil.  But the world needs help.  It's not enough to just turn away from evil.

"Turn from evil and do good."

                                                       Psalms 34:14

Despite this great beginning, some of us are turning into spiritually white people.  We demand to be included in their wickedness.  We join their army and pillage brown countries for resources, we join in their pranks and laugh at the expense of the tormented, we overlook their deception, and beg for a seat at their table.

That is not what we are supposed to be doing.  In the Torah and possibly Bible, we learn about how so many people never died, they simply "walked into paradise."  Is it a place that we can walk to?  Consider Africa, the cradle of humanity, the motherland.  Just like a mother, it has everything the baby needs.  We have been carried so far away from Motherland and have been suffering for it ever since.  Why not re-establish the connection?  Why not walk back into paradise?  Sadly, whites have discovered a way in.  The sword of fire no longer holds them back.  But are we going to just sit there and watch?  Or will we reclaim Motherland?  Its not enough to have turned away from evil so long ago.  Turn from evil... and do good for the Motherland.
