Mathematics & The Manual
Peace,
Recently, The RZA released a book entitled "The Wu-Tang Manual" that chronicles the rise of the Wu Tang Clan from an idea to a platinum plus hip-hop group that affected fans the world over. Away from all of the rah-rah and hyperbole, it's basically a list of the elements that infuenced RZA's vision (comics, martial arts, soul music,etc.). Of particular interest is the section entitled "The Way Of The Wu: The Grand Spiritual Megamix", where he breaks down the Cultures and Value Systems that developed his worldview. Being that The Nation Of Gods And Earths (NGE) is his foundation of sorts, he provides a detailed explanation of the NGE and what we espouse, if you will.
He even goes as far as listing the Supreme Mathematics and Alphabet, and a breakdown of our Universal Flag. As many reading this post may know, the value system of the NGE is usually passed down orally, and some feel that passing it down any other way is tantamount to treason, especially for any perceived financial gain. This has long been a matter of contention within our culture, and this may very well be the next chapter. While I may not agree with all of the actions of brothers within the Wu while representing my Culture, from my perspective, The RZA's action was fueled by a sincere interest in allowing the rest of the world a view into the beauty of our values. With the book being released, it is imperative that we in the NGE give those who may want to know more a opportunity to learn about the greatness of Allah, the Father and his mission. Everything has a context, and our Culture is no different. We should turn this into a "teachable moment" that benefits all who are interested in our God-Centered Consciousness.
Also can't forget to hip you to my good brother C'BS Allah's blog at www.allahsfivepercent.blogspot.com. I guarantee that you won't be disappointed! More to come.
Final bit of info: My young Moon(daughter for those who may not know) Azania I Queen made the high honor roll! The babies are the greatest!
