Some Truths

Greetings to all of our readers,

Thank you for taking a few minutes to read what we at InnnerLink Metaphysical Journal (a.k.a. ILMJ) have written over some time. Yes, ILMJ writers are theologically based, studied, and experienced in polytheistic theology all the way through the doctoral degree level. And I think one is an Ivy League graduate.

Some of us prefer calling ourselves “Alternative Spiritualists and Practitioners”. Some call us “Pagan” because of their historical misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the true words of what became known as the “Bible” to this day. This tome is not our scripture or canon of belief no matter how many times we are told that we are going to end up in a fictitious place some refer to as “hell”. One would think that adults only believed in fairy tales as children.

We DO NOT evangelize or proselytize!

We ARE NOT satanists or demonists!

We DO NOT believe in hell because there is no such place—PERIOD! So stop-it with that madness!

We DO NOT bash other religious, spiritual belief systems.

And we DO NOT judge anyone!

We are being as diplomatic as possible with our words.

We do not point fingers, dirty digits at anyone, or any organization.We do not allow "direct" comments at ILMJ because of those unsavory, cowardly, individuals who attempt to defecate free speech with their SPAM e-mails, faxes, and telephone calls. Not to “indict” anyone, group of people, or organization-- these infractions against our freedom of religious practice (which harms none) has been proven to be perpetrated by some Christians and Christian groups. I do not wish to indict or make sweeping generalizations.

Truly, the Gospel of Jesus and the 10 Commandments DID NOT mean for a certain few to spend their "spiritual" energies harassing and threatening those who DO NOT share the same belief system.

Yes I went there too because I am not afraid of the religious right, the dominion theocracy, etc. You all are the same “folks” who go to church and praise your lord then go out and send our children into senseless wars to be murdered in the name of democracy—what a BOCS! Talking about hypocracy and heresy! No I’m not pointing fingers. But you all point that same stinkin’ dirty digit at non-Christians all of the time. I have always been pro-America—but America has never been pro-People of Color. When I awake at any time, I praise our Sun, Moon, Planets, Stars, and our Mother Earth—NOT the Dow Jones, NOT the NASDAQ, not materialism!

The U.S. has a trillion dollar deficit--why? This is just unfathomable and abominable.

The truth seems to hurt those of ignorance the most—and we are not speaking about the Americans of all color, race, and creed who are taxed to death in our country otherwise known as “The United States of Taxation America Without Representation”! On another note--"NO" we do not go around casting spells on people--but we will take you to court for discrimination and violation of our human and civil rights!

Why do we still “love” America (and elsewhere) when, in Pueblo, Colorado, no one wants to allow revenue and jobs (i.e., the Pueblo riverfront casino debacle) based on land that was originally “taken” from our true Native American landowners. Why is it that Professor Dr. Ward Churchill WILL NOT speak at the upcoming Columbus Day events here in Colorado? I surmise that Plymouth Rock landed on Doc Ward again as it has landed on people of color again and again in America. Nothing has changed! Thee mountain top Dr. King mightily spoke about has fallen upon all of us! No mockery intended--just the truth!

I’m trying to be politically correct—not that I have anything to lose as a for real Black Man in a racist American society for saying what is the truth! I have never lived in this country with blinders one. I can always reflect back to how we all were treated so negatively, as children, by the local police, local store owners, etc. during the Jim Crow days. Driving while Black and racial profiling are just as bad as walking to school while Black with an arm full of school books way back when.

My true education derives from all of the racist treatment during my life which has not deterred me from seeking a much higher standing in life than many will never get to receive and experience from the Goddesses and Gods of my Pantheon.

Education is wonderful—but where are all the graduates going to work? The minimum wage is a JOKE! Our politicians, their children, and families do not live on this non-existent wage. Why should anyone in America be relegated to this rat hole wage!

For I am a “Chosen One”—period! My kinship is indeed from African Deity! DO NOT make “NO” mistake about this!

As an African-American minister, there is no need for me to act the fool, shout and scream Goddesses this or Gods that--anywhere—especially NOT on television, then beg “the audience” for money to keep me in a big house, expensive car, and clothing—otherwise known as materialism. The Temple of Kheti DOES NOT and HAS NOT received one donation from anyone or anywhere simply because we DO NOT promote bullshit.

Yes I went there! Cussing is much better than what some many non-Pagan clergy have done!

We simply DO NOT preach! But today, someone with character and integrity needs to do so, Pagan clergy or not.

All in all, nothing has changed from a socio-economic-political, human and civil rights perspective for people of color in the United States of America. I truly know that people of color realize that America is truly still based in a plantation mentality of “buy and sell” materialism—OR THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS!

Some will say--"Why don't you leave America if you are so unhappy?" Well, the answer to that is--Marcus Garvey tried, but y'all wouldn't let us (leave)!

Walk in the shoes of us and live a year or two in the lives of people of color, and then and only they others may see the light of day. I do not need to mention Mississippi or Louisiana either.

We can go on and on about the atrocities of America—but frankly, we have more important spiritual matters to tend to. More to come on these topics.
