The stronger you LOVE the more pure your LOVE. You have no fear of the consequences of telling the TRUTH. - the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan - Dear Facebook Family; I was looking at the various comments on my last post and as always I study how each interpret what they read ultimately to fit what they think and believe. I am honestly trying to find and develop the art of communication that appeals to the best part of every human being regardless of who they are or where they come from, and avoid conflict as we are NOT each others judge. Some of us live to correct others, but the result of that disposition is that we only run people further away from us without being corrected. I do not wish dot do this or care for that methodology. I believe whatever I have of good is from ALLAH for the benefit of ALL who are open to receive it only I try to express and do what I do by the principle written of in Galatians 5:6 in the Bible which at this point is my personal motto.. ...Faith which worketh by LOVE read the whole verse when you get a chance. This is my most sincere objective in writing and answering the different questions that are posed on this social network called Facebook. It was also the aim of my 25 years of official ministry. In turn, I have and I am learning so much from your questions and comments that I can hardly keep up with my own intellectual maturation as a direct result of this! Today I went to my youngest daughters school to see her presentation in critical thinking and so help me ALLAH I sat there proud as a peacock looking at my baby respond to the questions posed by deferent teachers and parents and she seemed so comfortable answering them and expressing her own ideas at the same time and Im like omg! Thats my baby! Now, I did not necessarily agree with everything that she said, but I LOVED THE FACT THAT SHE DEMONSTRATED NOT BEING AN INTELLECTUAL COWARD! Fear and disbelief in self is extremely crippling to growth and the advancement of self! Be aware of the things you say to your children and LOVED ones that might be arresting their development even though you mean well. When we try and make people into ourselves even with the best of intentions we are automatically arresting their development into the unique individuals that they already are! Many of us oppress and suppress other people, starting with our wives and children by being overly imposing with our gift, knowledge and talents. We become like passive and sometimes not so passive terrorists of their hidden gifts and talents that may never surface until you are dead, divorced or gone. So for putting it so blunt. The Minister once told me that sometimes ALLAH takes the lives of some so that others who live in their shadows can be born.. come ALIVE! We certainly do not want to be so hoggish in our expressions. Study the comments of those on this network who are always trying to reinterpret the post and not respect it in its purity. Now, imagine being married to someone like that.. Yea, the result is they DO NOT LISTEN VERY WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO FULL OF THEMSELVES! The art of LISTENING and COMPREHENDING is what enables us to keep our mouths and egos quite enough to learn something from everyone! Even the people we dont particularly care for or agree with. I do not have to agree with my children or my wife, Mother, Brothers or the Minister on every particular point to render my approval of them. I ALREADY APPROVE of them in and through LOVING ACCEPTANCE long before we disagree or IF I disagree with any of them at all! One time a brother caught me red handed liking every comment to my posts... Lol Now, I economize a little more with my likes when I think I have establish my approval of you no matter what the difference of opinion we may have over this that or the other. I will find something to like about all of you! I dont care what your angle is! GOD is the Judge of our hearts. APPROVAL and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is what we ALL NEED from time to time. Those who would say otherwise are probably so a costumed to NOT getting it that they almost resent the idea of it. And they are cold. Who doesnt like being around someone that makes you feel good about yourself? I do.. In fact, everyone I hang out with makes me feel good about myself and encourages me to be in the positive to be what I am becoming! Stop going to the extreme with your hating on those who receive almost effortlessly what you wish you could have.. ATTENTION! To all you but people out there that everything you read and critique even in the best posts always have to follow it up with a But.. Stop hating and try replicating! Smile! Some Ive heard say, I dont want attention! Or I dont need any acknowledgement! Is this what you applaud as humility? If we did NOT NEED attention and acknowledgement, where do you think the drive and impulse to do great things would come from? Stop fooling yourself! Your NOT just Good, you have to make yourself WORTHY! The result is always ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, ATTENTION, and many, many Blessings! A man, woman or child is NATURALLY eager to please when they are ACKNOWLEDGED. Many are having problems in their interpersonal relationships and especially marriages because they fail to acknowledge each other in a distinguished manner that reminds each other of the unique role each other plays in their lives. For an example, a couple of weeks a go someone wrote me and asked if it were proper for a married couple to refer to each other as Brother and Sister as so many in the Mosque do; I wanted to give him a quick response with HELL NO! But, I didnt. Smile! The word proper means to fit, a mans wife is NOT his sister anymore than a womans husband is her brother. And do not try and justify this with that lame explanation of we are all brothers and sisters in faith. Sure we are all brothers and sisters in faith, but if you arent trying to loose your wife or your husband you better find another word of distinction when you are referring to her or him. In my marriage to refer to your spouse as your brother or sister are fighting words! When I have ever called my wife sister she knew I was very angry, and calling her sister reminded not only her but my own self as well that no matter what trial we were going through in the moment, I have a minimum responsibility to respect her as my sister and child of GOD.. Even if in the moment she was NOT acting to me as a wife of mine. Marriage is SERIOUS business and we nurture each other in far more ways than simply in the bedroom as nighttime Romeos. We are Making LOVE by everything we say and HOW we say WHAT we say to each other. Long before our bodies touch we are and should be communicating LOVE and ACCEPTANCE to each other as husband and wife. This I believe is what the Holy Quran means by sending something ahead in advance. Some think this just means physical for-play, NO! This implies developing the art of having sensitive, considerate, passionate and compassionate enter-course with your spouses MIND, THOUGHTS, FEELINGS and SPIRIT to ready the flesh to receive each other! In many of our delusional ideas in pursuit of being a soldier we become very insensitive and inconsiderate lovers which makes our spouses vulnerable. NEVER demote your wife to the common status title/rank of sister or your husband as brother. If you are married, SHE is your WIFE and HE is your HUSBAND! Never make your WIFE or HUSBAND feel common and NOT special and distinguished! You chose each other out of the crowd! Now, recognize each other in the crowd and take that all the way home and mmmhmmmm... You fill in the rest! And please dont forget your children! The same principle of LOVING acknowledgement applies to them! When you do this on a regular basis until it becomes habit, the song One Hundred Ways comes to mind by my brother James Ingram who said; In your arms tonight, shell reflect That she owes you the sweetest of debts If she wants to pay.. Find one hundred ways Smile!
