Life & Death
Theme Music: "1964" BY Tru N Livin
Peace,
Last weekend, while in Medina for the International African Arts Festival, I received news that Rageim Supreme Allah returned to the essence (What people commonly term "dying") in a car crash. Rageim was Knowledge Power (15) years old, and is the Sun of Ramel Supreme Allah, a God who figures prominently in the overall Growth & Development of the NGE in Power Born. Additionally, Rageim lived in Pittsburgh for many years, and was part of our family. When anybody returns, it can be tough due to the physical absence of the person, b.u.t. when a child returns, it's even tougher because you start to think about the potential of the child. In our Culture, the children are the best part, so for any of them to return prematurely, it's impact is magnified.
On Saturday, a number of Gods and Earths from Power Born attended the funeral in Maryland. What emerged from the event was a testimony to the young God's life by those who knew him. Here are some points I gathered from the event:
- Make sure that a "Homegoing Celebration" (as it was called) is truly a celebration of life vs. A celebration of death. When we come together for those kind of events, it's best to focus on the positive versus reinforce the negative (in this case, the fact that the young God returned).
- If a child's life is made up of more than one Culture, than make sure that all the cultures are properly represented in that ceremony. Contrary to popular belief, there's more than Christianity in the Black Community.
- The whole cipher made me reflect on my relationship with my young Moon (Daughter), and how deeply I treasure her and her life. We must be diligent in letting everyone we love know that we love them and where we stand with them in the now.
Rageim Supreme's young life was not in vain, and we will continue to build Allah World Manifest in his name as well as all of the Gods and Earths that came before us. Within the universal cycle of life, everything has a purpose and a reason, and everyday more of that cycle is understood and acted upon. Life and death have no partnership, yet within the great cycle, they are connected and intertwined.

Peace,
When anyone returns to the essences it is a point for reflection. Thanks for pointing that out. Going to the kiss the Earth and praise the young star right now.
