THE MOST AWESOME, WHOLESOME TIME OF THE YEAR
The ¾ Progression of The Sun Through the Equinoxes Beginning Winter;
Seasonal Analysis With Reparations on My Mind By H. Khalif Khalifah
[if the Reader cares not, or haven't sufficient interest in reading the essay that follows: know for sure: The Holiday Season is resplendent with energy, Joy, and happiness. But is also the time for reflection on the success of our Spiritual Journey: the weighing of our heart with the Proverbial Feather will help to determine opportunities missed during 2012; and opportunities we will have again in 2013]
DECEMBER, KUJICHAGULIA, 2012
NAT TURNER LIBRARY, DREWRYVILLE, VA The Holiday Season back in olden days, as it is today, is centered around holiday celebrations and commercial exploitation, in midst of more than a few individual, wholesome humans who signify the fact that, in December our Sun has traversed the Cosmos, some 3/4th of the three hundred and sixty degrees of it annual Solar Cycle Journey.
There is much joy in knowing we have made it through 3 parts. The joy of a celebration at the beginning of the last ¼, the Winter Solstice is mixed with apprehension by us who have strove to be mindful of the opportunity to empower ourselves during the journey.
AS IT WAS PROCLAIMED
As it happens, so-called Western Men and women proclaimed the partial journey to be the end of the year. As with many Natural happens in Creation, they called it completely wrong. But though many know the Western calendar wrong and is NOTthe the end of the sun's progression, The Holiday Season is a genuine, cheerful, joyous time from several perspectives., namely they include,
CHRISTMAS, KWANZAA, HANUKAH, FINAL JUDGMENT
As I hope you know, all entities in the Creation are going around in circles. As the sun take its journey around and through a prescribe course in the Cosmos, the earth going a around the sun. So in actuality we humans are also on a journey.
Each step on the journey we meet things that earned during previous journeys. If they are challenges, the meeting affords an opportunity to overcome and master the challenge.
Mastering the challenges allows for growth to become the best of the potential that is within us. The apprehension, some feel, is because amid all the joy and cheer of the season, this is also the time of the year when the Final Judgment will be rendered. Judgment is rendered after determining how successful we were in overcoming the challenges in our lives during the past year.
STICK OUT THINGS OCCUR EACH YEAR
There are two remarkable things that stick out from all others every Holiday Season, to me. 1. The fact that the Final Judgment we speak of will be decided by our own self examination 2. Whether or not you receive a 100% passing grade will be the balancing of the content of your heart to the weight of a feather.
If you pass at 100% you have reached the pinnacle in actualizing the potential that is in the Human Being.
Us who have dedicated ourselves to the realization of our potential understand our potential to be that of a divine being. As such all we need say is be and it becomes.
Since it is unlikely anyone will reach that pinnacle during this Solar Cycle Journey, the judgment will be the source to determine the challenges that you have the opportunity to overcome during the next Solar Cycle Journey.
REPARATIONS ON THE MIND OF NCOBRA PEOPLE
The actual beginning of the New Year by cosmic reckoning is at the completion of the Solar Cycle Journey. It will then be Spring time. There we plant the seeds that we harvested and saved during the Winter Solstice.
What Did We Harvest. What Are We Reaping during The 2012 Holiday Season. In example, The ONE overriding thing Black people are not harvesting this season is Reparations.
This means we will once again face the challenge to collect the debt owed and begin the healing for the malady that has haunted The Race for, as one writer called it, 4,000 Seasons. Will we master the LAWS that will allow us to overcome the challenge in the year 2013…Time will Tell.
