Cultural Elevation vs. Cultural Stagnation

"We cannot delay our responsibilities or pass them off to future generations. We must realize that our inaction has consequences."

Peace to the True & Living. In our strive for national consciousness, community control, and peace we face two clear paths: one leads to cultural elevation, and the other to cultural stagnation. These paths represent a constant battle where we stand for justice against injustice, defend truth against falsehood, and advocate knowledge against ignorance. Cultural elevation isn’t just a goal; it is a necessity. We must awaken to our duties and take bold steps toward building a brighter future for the future generations.

Right now, we stand at a pivotal crossroads. We cannot afford to put off our responsibilities or hand them off to future generations. It is our duty to invest our utmost effort today, creating a solid foundation for our children to build upon. Every moment we waste now transforms into a weight they must bear the next day.

However, amid this urgent call to action, we are also confronted with a concerning trend: the emergence of the "armchair revolutionary." These self-proclaimed change-makers frequently critique from the sidelines, opting to express their opinions through various methods instead of engaging in meaningful action. Their enthusiasm often translates into empty rhetoric rather than tangible progress. This tendency for inaction not only undermines their impact b.u.t also jeopardizes the future we owe to our children.

At this crucial juncture, we face a defining choice. We cannot delay our responsibilities or pass them off to future generations. We must realize that our inaction has consequences. Each year we fail to engage with our communities and work towards genuine change, we allow stagnation to take root. This complacency risks silencing the future and vision of the next generation.

As caretakers of our culture, it is our job to create an environment where curiosity thrives and righteous behavior guides our pursuit of knowledge. We must refuse to let stagnation hold us back. By acting with purpose, we inspire creativity and innovation, rewriting our cultural narrative.

We have work to do. This is our moment to harness our energy and courage and take decisive action. Let us not hide behind empty words or critiques; instead, let us engage and make a difference. The fight for cultural elevation requires our full commitment, and it starts with us today. Peace!

The Importance of Cultural Elevation

Culture is a process that reflects the vast structure of behaviors, ideas, attitudes, values, habits beliefs, customs, languages, rituals and practices that give a people a, "general design for living and patterns for interpreting reality. " Dr. Wade Nobles

In the face of ongoing genocide and deliberate attempts to keep us culturally fragmented and disoriented, a group of us has chosen to reclaim our identity by returning the European imposition of religion and culture. We recognize that our healing involves embracing our own rich heritage and the diverse aspects of human development. As a proud member of our Universal family – The Nation of Gods and Earths (NGE) – I have found strength and grounding in our teachings, which have helped me overcome the barriers of cultural amnesia.

Living by the tenets of I-God has transformed my life, being God-centered, family-centered, and children-centered. Our commitment to loving our families, building strong communities, and protecting our nation is crucial. Cultural elevation is not just an idea; it is a way of life dedicated to living, promoting, teaching, and expressing our divine culture in every action and word. By relying on our culture and its guiding principles, we can effectively address our needs and tackle the challenges we face in our nation-building efforts. Together, we can create a powerful legacy for future generations.
