My African/Edenic Ode to Freedom

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 NIV

African/Edenic People living in this eurocentric-oriented racist society

Must grasp Personally and Resolutely an understanding of Who Jesus IS.

IS Revolution, IS Truth, IS Now, IS Future Forever.

Is not reaction, is not religion, is not the status quo christian lie.

Is not retrenchment, is not forgiveness without repentance.

IS a Body for an Eye, IS Judgment without Mercy, IS Wounding Love.

IS Reconciliation only after Unconditional Surrender, IS Power at Work

Now and not in future contemplation, IS Philosophical: Posits an

Understanding of the world from behind and anterior to it.

Is Psychological: radically altering the way African/Edenic People

Think Themselves, Think others and Think God.

Jesus—divorced from eurocentric-oriented religion—IS True Freedom,

Fundamental level, IS that State of Being in which African/Edenic People

Make Decisions, Plan Actions, Take Power, Manifest!

Jesus IS the truth that, without a revolutionary struggle that overcomes

The current African/Edenic Self-Image, we  are forever slaves in a

World-system matrix inimical to our best interests,

Opposed to our limitless capacity for personal

Human growth and development, and bent on Our total destruction.

Jesus IS the reality that the only road to African/Edenic freedom

Is Our connecting with Jesus, In Ourselves, submitting to Our

Radical leadership, engaging In Effective counter-hegemonic struggle.

Jesus IS the development of Our Critical Understanding—Our ability to be Transformed from non-critical, incoherent “common sense” African/Edenic People (Objects) to Kingdom-Oriented “Organic Intellectuals” (Subjects) who are Willing, Able, and Committed to Principled Leadership for counter-hegemonic struggle.
