Ex-president Clinton, once said he would focus on the economy like a laser beam, because “It is the economy, stupid.” I say, Afrikans have to focus on the state of their minds, stupid. It is from where they were/are manipulated by kings, chiefs, missionaries, colonials, prime ministers, presidents, Arab slave traders, and what have you.
Whatever your reason is for visiting here a few times it is because you convinced yourself that I have one or two nuggets of ideas, or that I am real—not a fake, or maybe interestingly stupid to warrant another visit. It is all in your mind.
Take the Christian religion; it says you should eat the body of Christ and drink his blood. If we had any sense, why didn’t we tell the missionaries that we were not cannibals to eat somebody and drink his blood? Of course, by then they had already convinced our minds they knew better, and we should just obediently follow.
37 times in the Bible Joshua, (aka Jesus) says he is a man—the son of man, just like the rest of us. The only difference from the average Joe was that he had an exceptional use of his mind to connect to the Truth—the Truth that is the universal all-goodness.
So, all these preachers living large on your money do so because you have surrendered your mind to them to enter your pocket. The really successful leaders of all sorts do so because they have learned to use their minds at an elevated frequency that connects to the ordinary Joe, or scares opponents, or both.
We often hear the refrain: You can be what you want to be. I will add: You can be what you have convinced your mind you want to be.
