I asked, "What Would Happen if I Didn't Pray?" I was told that if I didn't, I wouldn't succeed. That was a Lie. 


I then asked, "What Would Happen if I Didn't Believe?" I was told that if I didn't, I meant nothing and wouldn't be saved. That was a Lie. 

The truth was, if I wasn't grateful of all that was provided to me, both good and bad, and of the creators creations, I wouldn't succeed, and if I didn't believe in me I wouldn't mean anything and wouldn't be able to save myself. Given the path I was provided earlier in life. 

At age 27, I've achieved everything that I have set forth to achieve without prayer and without violating the rights of another human being. I achieved my desires by expressing my gratitude daily for everything/one I encounter and by being respectful and treating others fairly. I inspire and add value to thousands of people daily as my way of giving back. I don't judge, I don't criticize, I don't have hatred, jealousy or envy in my spirit. 

The church and baptism was forced upon me at a young age. At that time, I involuntarily accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savor. Now that I'm older, I have rejected the belief and have accepted the universal laws, my ancestors, parents, guardians, community leaders, and conscious educators as my personal savors because they paved my way out of captivity and I was able to reach my full potential following their direction and concepts. 

One of my biggest regrets was being baptized in a church at a very young age where I couldn't make the decision to reject it, in faucet water that gave me no connection to the universe, by a man who collaborate with oppressors by deceiving the people. May be had I been dipped in a large body of water like my ancestors were, my views would have been different and possibly I would have received a greater universal connection I needed at the time.  

With a rich spirit, as defined in Chapter One of Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself, as well as being grateful for all your circumstances as defined in Chapter 7, you can achieve anything you desire.

First Generation College Graduates and The Entry Level Job Market

Image
Many of us have applied to many job positions using our High School Diploma and GED. We have found out that the job market was very difficult to get in with just a High School Diploma and GED. Many employers have skipped over our resumes and letters of interest after seeing that our highest level of education is High School and having no job related experiences. So we ask our parents, teachers, employers and various other individuals, what we have to do in order to secure the interested positions in the future? They tell us to further our education, “Go to college and get a degree”. We then say, “we can’t afford college, we don’t have any money”. Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I gradua...

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don...
