Due to our conditioning, there is a general consensus that what we eat only affects our weight - well add our spiritual well being onto that list, too. is the worst for your body containing little to no nutritional value. Everything that is easy to access like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, etc. It is a daily and constant battle to operate in a means of doing what is right for our body and spirit, and it should not be this way. This is a normal progression of thoughts for us who want to live a healthy lifestyle. I was recently speaking to one of my comrades and he said, “What does FDA mean?” We all replied in variant tones, “Food and Drug Administration.” His response was, “Why is it that the same people who are giving you your food is also supplying your drugs (also known as pharmaceuticals)?” Everyone paused for a second reflecting on the current and past diet decisions we have made, and how we really cannot think to give up chicken, pork, turkey, shrimp, or whatever dish that we allow to control our pallet. The major catalyst is spiritual warfare through food. Everything that allows Amerika to sustain global power serves as a catalyst for Afrikan/Black extermination.
Amerikan soil is not a place of any spiritual, mental, or Afrikan/Black development. What Erykah Badu and Nas call, “This Bitter Land,” the Amerikan belief system has become toxic to our identity, and all that is fruitful within us has become bitter. In essence, “the purpose of any religion is to teach transcendence,” (Philip Neimark, “The Way of the Orisa”) but instead many religions teach obedience by instilling fear of a hell-like afterlife into its followers. Although it cannot be measured, defined, or put into the modern confines of understanding, our spiritual selves are thirsty for attention. Alice Walker once said, “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” We have a wide variety of power from #BlackGirlMagic to #BlackBoyJoy, our power is innately spiritual. We cannot expect to be able to gain control over our spirit selves, if we do not control and take care of our most precious resource - our body however, we have lost the knowledge of self. The Earth is your turf, so treat it right and it will return the favor. You will not find a book on your own journey to your spirit self. People will ask weird questions and look at me weird, but once I am in a spirit hub - nothing and no one can penetrate you unless you allow. When I eat to live, my spiritual self awakens in a manner that is beyond contemporary comprehension. In order to control this power, it is imperative that we monitor what type of energy we are consuming on a daily basis through our dietary choices. There is no greater power than the power within.
