Commitment: WORD IS BOND!

Peace. As we go about our daily lives, the challenge of maintaining focus on our commitment to upholding our culture's universal principles in a righteous and civilized manner often comes from being double-minded. What I mean is that our intention is to live the culture right and exact, but too often we let negative baggage or thoughts from our past influence our decisions while living out the culture. We teach that civilization involves having knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement, and not being a savage in the pursuit of happiness. However, many people claim to possess these traits, but when you closely examine their ways and actions, you will find a savage in the pursuit of happiness.

They teach knowledge, but practice trick- knowledge. They teach wisdom but practice foolishness. They teach understanding but practice arrogance. They teach culture but practice the devil's social equality. They teach refinement but still practice the ways of the dumb, deaf, and blind. These individuals are amongst the Nation and they are what James 1:8 describes as a double-minded man, who is unstable in all his ways. We were all dumb, deaf, and blind, and as such we were indoctrinated with many negative and destructive thoughts, ways, and actions, which made us be and live other than our own selves. This was the cause of much of the confusion, delusion, chaos within life, and so much heartache. Now that we are civilized beings, daily we are supposed to be replacing those negative and destructive thoughts, ways, and actions with the knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, and refinement of civilization so that we will no longer live a life as a savage in the pursuit of happiness. However, there are too many who are trying to do both, and as a result, they are double-minded. You can cee the instability in their life and in the things they are doing.

Another, much more dangerous aspect of this double-mindedness, is that it can manifest itself as mental health conditions. Depression, paranoia, anxiety, uncontrollable anger, and self-destructive behavior such as alcohol abuse and the use of drugs to escape reality. At some point in our strive, we all must first acknowledge that many of the negative and destructive traits that we were indoctrinated with while dumb, deaf, and blind are still with us. They did not become a part of us in one day, and they will not be able to overcome it in one day, but when we first acknowledge that they exist within us, and then commit to making knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, and refinement of civilization, they prism through to make all decisions for the betterment as an individual and the community, then we will be rebuilding the totality of who and what we are by nature, civilized beings. We will be treating the diagnosed condition of unstable mindedness with the natural medication of knowledge of self, wisdom of nature, understanding of the divine, the culture of I-God, the refinement of righteousness, and a daily living with the principles (morals and values) of civilization influencing our pursuit of happiness.
