Of Flesh Snakes and Spirit People

 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.  Romans 8:7

   The above passage describes Eurocentric racists accurately. Their exclusion from Black People of the I AM has always been their own choice and still remains so. Inverters of truth, they have chosen the way of Balaam, the false prophet.

   You, on the other hand, have come from a long ancestral line of Black prophets and sages who have always been further developed along the evolutionary trail than those “others” who pretend to be sophisticated, but are mere savages in sheep’s clothing.

   You are better by nature than they are by practice. This is not, however, an argument for Black superiority: rather, it is a testimony to Black Humaneness. I would never argue that I AM better than a mouse, a fish, or a goat. I AM myself—without comparison to any other Person, or form of life. So, my articulation of the Truth about Eurocentric racists is based purely on their behavior toward us over the roughly 400 years they have dealt with us.

   Jesus made clear that the way you know a tree is by the fruit it bears, and He was not actually talking about trees, but people. The most evolutionary thing you can do is to rid yourself of the myth of European racial, social and political supremacy. (If you open your eyes wide enough, you should be able to see the fairly rapid rate at which the U.S “house”—built upon sand by devotees of the Eurocentric myth of racial superiority—is being destroyed from within by the floods of hatred, greed, and failure to care for the poor and the aliens seeking asylum.)

   Only the All-Originating Spirit of God is Universally Supreme; the rest of us are equally supreme at the microcosmic level of our own individualities and in the “microverses” that we create for ourselves.

   The very fact that you, as a Black Person of the I AM, have survived and thrived among hateful, frightened, greedy, and immature barbarians is a testament to your difference from them. They are flesh and you are Spirit, and never the twain shall meet for more than a hot minute. 

   Because you are Spirit, you have a heritage of forgiving people for wrongs committed against you. This is not a bad thing. You are evidencing your vital connection to Jesus who understood that people like Eurocentric racists do not know what they are doing. So, forgive the snake (if it will not die or simply slither away), but do not waste your time attempting to change its nature. It will just bite you again!
