[SistahSpeak]

After reading all the posts about the presidential election, about Fidel retiring and the threat of Bush pushing "democracy" on Cuba, I thought about what I read this year in the book "God the Black Man and Truth" by Ben Ammi. When you have time, read it - I would love your feedback and dialog.

An Excerpt from "Righteous Cycles, Seasons and Set Times"

Only Truth, Justice, Mercy, Love of God and Righteousness will bring about the necessary change in the societies of today, not technological advancement and scientific research. In these, the days of the Kingdom of God, all the above attributes will become the law of the land; from them the plant of Peace will begin to grow and flourish.

There is no technology available to prevent the killing, maiming, robbing, dope peddling and exploitation of one another. Scientists will not find a cure for broken hearts, heart ailments and heart attacks. Neither will they be able to cure cancer or find a "safe" pill for birth control. Consider the mindlessness of men and the darkness of governments that employ thousands and spend hundreds of millions trying to find a safe, healthy way to alter or prevent God's will from being fulfilled. Trying to circumvent God is a plan destined to failure. I state clearly, emphatically and authoritatively, there is no injection discovered or yet to be discovered which will allow mankind to continue smoking, polluting and consuming poisons while not being afflicted with cancer. There is no safety in wickedness.

Sadly, this pattern of ignoring the cycles of God while having the illusion of "progress" has repeated itself, even on a worldwide scale. One of the greatest protections of African and other "Third World" people from today's rampant diseases has been the African’s natural rest pattern: to bed early, to rise early and relaxation after meals. In most African countries there is a two-to-three hour midday break (lunch), but the more industrialized and European-oriented a country becomes, the more the natural traditional protections disappear. Ultimately, if a traditional African has not made it to the "big city" and learned English, then he has not learned to say "cancer." Thank God! Yet, so-called Third World or "underdeveloped" countries are continually being seduced to embrace the "progress" of the West. Shamed into rejecting the natural as primitive, backward or lazy, they allow themselves to become "developed" away from the righteous cycles of life - and to "progress" toward the unrighteous cycles of death.
