The Poet's Dream

Posted


Dear present friends and possible new supporters,

This country sends millions of dollars a year to support Zionist Israel so that it can continue exterminating innocent Palestinian children in the thousands while in comparison, it sends very little in money or aid for and on behalf of the needs of the manifold suffering peoples and little children of the African continent.

IAM now one that lives in Senegal, West Africa six months out of every year, specifically in the city of Touba where there are thousands of little boys and girls that have nothing to wear except one dress all year and one pair of pants all year with holes in them, and many have no decent shoes for their feet and no toys except the ones they make with their own hands out of cardboard and tin cans and drag through the sand and dirt with a string. It is my dream and desire to help eliminate some of the poverty of these thousands of children there that call me Father SIAM and bring some happiness to their eyes and hearts by filling up an airplane with pants, dresses, shoes, and toys for the many under privileged children of the city of Senegal, West Africa who will never have a $300 dollar X-box and a closet full of clothes to wear like many of the children here have and who constantly, like my own children, only want more.

IAM not a rich man, but with the monies made off of the sale of my new book, Rain of Grace, New & Selected Poems, that people like you can go online and purchase by the simple clicking of a computer curser or solitary finger movement i would have the necessary financial backing to accomplish what is in my heart to do. Please scroll down and read the ad which promotes the sale of my new book and help me bring happiness to these many children that have nothing compared to others here and elsewhere in this world.

IAM one that has taken the spiritual vow of poverty, and apart from the immediate needs of my personal family, i want NOthing for myself but only presently exist in this world to help the many suffering of this sad and hurting planet.

Please go online today and purchase your personal copy of, Rain of Grace, New & Selected Poems by SIAM, and become a supportive partner with SIAM in bringing happiness to thousands of little African children.

Read what one BlackPlanet friend has said about Rain of Grace New & Selected Poems by SIAM:

“RAIN OF GRACE, NEW & SELECTED POEMS” by SIAM I now refer to as "The Great Book of SIAM" is more than a mere book of poetry; it is a MASTERPIECE. Its depth leaves a mark on your thoughts and soul. The words evoke change as they massage the intellect and emotions. It's amazing that one man can contain such insight and gift of expression you know only comes from the gods.

Reading this book is an honor, a delight, and privilege. Thank you my friend for being an open vessel and allowing it to flow through you.

When I read the poem on flatulence, I knew there was no end or excuse for this man’s genius, except the necessary touch of insanity needed to bring it forth - the same genius and insanity that marks renowned men of our time and continues throughout all the other mentionable works in this book.

This book is a must read for anybody who needs or desires to swim in deep waters and come up for air, meaning contemplation, meditation and personal reflection. It is not for the faint at heart. I strongly encourage everyone to read this book; support this artist and writer as he so deserves. He is both before and beyond his time.

Let him take you where you've never been and never imagined you could go while not moving your feet.

Peace and Blessings on and to the Great Book of SIAM, "Rain of Grace New & Selected Poems."

ANTI-ZIONISM OR ANTI-SEMITISIM: A Disclosure of Meaningful Definition

Posted

Recently, one of my dear BlackPlanet.com Network friends wrote me concerning whether or not SIAM is guilty of perpetrating anti-Semitism. Perhaps this Letter to Lady E may clarify things for others who may find SIAM’s written response an enlightening and significant one. The following is her letter to SIAM and his response to her:

"My Dear Siam...I am so pleased to see you have returned here.......so I am contacting you to regenerate our friendship.....I was disturbed by something, however......I am hoping that I misread or perhaps misunderstood that there is anti-Semitism evoked in a work of yours.....I have no problem standing up for equal rights regarding those that seek them.......but as an artist and seeker of truth, I cannot condone hate in any form.........the world is too small...we are here to move to the next level and share love and wisdom........all of us have experienced lives in skins of all hues.....in lands of all geographical descriptions....past and present meld together for all people. .........I hope to hear from you soon.. .....Peace, Lady E"
 

LETTER TO LADY E:

 "Not to decide is to decide"
- Dr. Harvey Cox of the Harvard Divinity School
 
All Sacred greetings to you my beloved sister Lady E, There is a vast difference in anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism; SIAM is against what a multitude of orthodox Jewish Rabbis and many Jewish people presently living in Israel and elsewhere in the world are also against. i and they are against what is called Zionism and the present Zionist government of the State of Israel; and we have taken a stand all over the world against the injustices perpetrated by such a now unjust, anti-God government. i do not hate anyone, but i do hate injustice and the innocent slaughter of millions of Palestinians by a Zionist government that presently is behind such slaughter with high-tech weapons that are being supplied by this United States government that your and my tax money is now supporting. As an artist and as a decent HUman BEing, if i don't take a stand against injustice, racism, and the mass slaughter of little innocent children wherever it is being committed, then IAM as guilty as the ones carrying it out. Look up all the information that exist on the Internet concerning the thousands of Jewish people who are now speaking out against the same atrocities and horrendous war crimes that are being committed by the Zionist Israeli government as i write you these very words. i have joined them (the righteous Jewish people of this world) in crying out against Zionism, and certainly Jewish Rabbis and the many Jewish people i have joined forces with are not anti-Semite - how can they be, they are Jewish.

IAM against passive non-involvement by the people of this earth who refuse to take a stand against what is wrong in this world and who won't do their part to make a difference in correcting such wrong, and IAM against willful ignorance on the part of people who refuse to open their eyes to see or their ears to hear the truth as it applies to any incorrect and unjust situation; that is why on my Rain of Grace web site the photos are there of hundreds of massacred Palestinian children and entire villages of Palestinian people that have been totally destroyed and annihilated that ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, and other Zionist controlled media don't want you to see and know about. The information is on my site so that no one who can read and has a minuscule intellect can have an excuse for not BEing aware. i love Jewish people as i love all of humanity, but IAM totally against the racist apartheid practices, mass murders, and present extermination practices being committed by an anti-God-Zionist government that is slaughtering hundreds of blameless children and adults every day while we sit on our behinds safe and sound in this country and turn our heads away like a cowardly ostrich who sticks his head in the sand and does nothing to stop it. As a creative artist, and as a man with an ethical, spiritual, and moral consciousness, i must take a stand against those atrocities that i know are not morally, spiritually, and ethically correct. If i don't take a stand against this carnage, IAM as guilty as those who are responsible for it.

To answer your question: in much love and respect for you, i must tell you – yes; you have miss-understood Lady E, but you don't have to continue misunderstanding. Please learn the difference between ANTI-ZIONISM and ANTI-SEMITISM so that you don't misjudge and make the same mistake as so many unaware and un-enlightened people are presently making - who don't understand the difference in the two terms.

On my Black Planet personal page, there is a written blog entitled, "SIAM Foretold Current Events in Gaza through A Poem Written Six Years Ago". Please scroll down my personal page and read that blog for a better understanding of the two terms and what it is SIAM now speaks out against. IAM also against homelessness, poverty, and world hunger, but that requires another long epistle at another time. (smile)

My poem, "In Jerusalem" is not poem against the Jewish people; it is a poem addressing the horrible and horrendous unjust practices of a Zionist State; and it is a universal call to ALL the righteous of this world, regardless of race, creed, or culture, to unify and help discontinue and dismantle an unrighteous government that is presently practicing such horrific acts and war crimes and replace it with one that represents ALL the people of the West Bank [Jewish and Palestinian together] in equality, peace, and unification.

The Zionism that is now being implemented in Israel is not authentic biblical based Zionism; that is why so many orthodox Jews and Jewish Rabbis are against it; and that is why SIAM is also against it.

i hope and pray that something i just took all this time to write to you in love from my heart will be of some enlightenment and significant meaning to you in perhaps clarifying a few important things and give you a grace of incentive to further your research and study of the authentic facts in this most important area of concern. i have joined my dissident voice with other righteous people such as former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and former US president Jimmy Carter in demanding that not another US tax dollar be spent in supporting the present extermination of thousands of now misplaced and suffering Palestinian people in the ancient land of Palestine.

http://www.rainofgrace.com You can read and learn more about the present situation through the words of the courageous and greatest Afro-American woman presently walking the face of our planet - the honorable lady Cynthia McKinney

My joy YOU!

Black Male Anal-Retentive Homophobia: SIAM's Response to A Question

Posted

“Fellas, if another man shows up in your page log, do you automatically assume he’s gay?”

This was a question one of my many friends asked that I responded to on his personal page, but after further consideration I think my response should be presented and possibly heard by others of a larger audience of my BP friends perceptive enough to listen and contemplate it. What I wrote as a response to Mr. Spann’s above question has now been expanded and enhanced into the following essay or blog for the sincere friends of SIAM that are interested in what I have to say.

My response to the question, “Fellas, if another man shows up in your page log, do you automatically assume he’s gay?” is as follows:


 

The answer is NO; but what's sadder than that is all the so-called brothers on this network who appear to be so down, deep, and knowledgeable, and who ask another brother to be their friend by sending them a friend invite and don't even have the common decency or sensitivity to respond when that person has accepted them as a friend and has reached out to them as such. Out of all the brothers on my now 178 friend list, only two have ever responded as one brother to another; and one of them shut down like a spoiled insecure brat because i told him after complimenting and consistently supporting him as an artist that i could be his friend without having to have his Christian theology crammed down my throat every time he sent me one of his videos proclaiming that God died; IAM even now telling him in no uncertain terms that if God did die, he and this entire OMniverse would collapse into non-existence. The mind of Christ or Christ-consciousness is not a theological one; it is an ontological and existential state of BEing that is not talked but lived as all the prophets lived IT including Jesus, but most of those who are constantly talking IT are not living IT, they are simply parroting what they have been brain washed and conditioned to believe by mis-informed leaders and Spiritual pimps which puts them in a typical mental box entirely too small to embrace the larger facets of a grander Spiritual Humanity which includes the many peoples of ALL faiths and walks of life.

IAM not gay and have never been gay and love women with a passion, but i do attempt to be open and IAM anally free enough that i don't have to be a Macho-Macho constipated individual in spirit or consciousness and know that real friendship is one of relating to another individual with the same courtesy they have reached out and related to me with.

The black male is not only an endangered species in this prejudiced and oppressive white man controlled nation and world; he is an endangered species to his own species because he hasn't learned to free his self-centered mind to love and relate without carrying the un-necessary weight of fears, phobias, and conditioned psychological baggage that keep him estranged from his greater self and his other greater brothers. He yet remains too contracted for universal expansion and because of that he is yet an in-effective presence in this world for powerful change or conscious spiritual and secular transformation. He prides himself on BEing the original man who constructed and left Great pyramids on this planet as a witness to his former knowledge, but who today lives up to none of it because he has gone to sleep and forgotten IT.

As of today, IAM thinking seriously of removing all the anal-retentive, fearful, and non-responsive brothers who are not brothers in their actions, and who certainly don't know the meaning of meaningful brother-hood or authentic friendship but are only decoration whatnots on the shelves of this creative existence, cluttering my many friends page and are satisfied to sit there, grunting on the cold toilet of non-productive insensitivity and ignorant stupidity. An ignorant person can be taught, but a stupid person cannot receive or accept knowledge.

One does not have to be gay to feel, embrace, and send out love, strength, and compassion to another brother; if one cannot do this, he is not a brother; he is not yet even a real HUman BEing; he is only another number, member, and spiritual corpse, sleep-walking among the many mentally and spiritually dead of this sad hurting world. When a brother really knows himself, he has no fear of anyone and can relate to anyone whether he’s gay or not; because, he who knows himself, knows his Creator and knows ALL men.

You asked for comments, and out of respect for you as one of my many friends, i have responded with mine. i wonder how many others cared enough or were sensitive enough on this Black Planet Network to do so with any real depth or passion.

We are the embodiment of 360 degrees of knowledge. As i travel from the West to the East seeking enLIGHTenment, IAM amazed at what i presently witness in the name of HUmanity.

 

Here's Why Rain of Grace New & Selected Poems by SIAM Is a Must-Have

SIAM Foretold Current Events in Gaza through A Poem Written Six Years Ago

Posted

African-American poet, SIAM, encourages all people, and especially black people, around the country to walk hand-in-hand in non-violent protest of the U.S. support to Israel in the Gaza War. SIAM shares views with notable American political leaders such as Cynthia McKinney, former Georgia State U.S. House Representative and 2008 Green Party nominee for President of the United States, and objective distinguished press such as Chris Hedges, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, who were set to speak at an emergency town hall meeting in New York City this week.

The first African-American M'Backe Shaikh in the history of Mourdism, SIAM foretold the current events in Gaza through the poem, "In Jerusalem", which he was inspired to write during a non-stop 72-hour period. "i could not sleep or eat and my family had to raise the windows in the room the poem was coming to me in because of the intense heat coming off of my body," states SIAM, a Harvard Divinity School graduate. "In my poem i described things that were yet to come and that are just now breaking forth at the level i described over six years ago," SIAM adds.

After the poem was first published on political activist Israel Shamir's website, SIAM says he was attacked by his contemporaries for dealing with issues foreign to the African-American situation in the United Sates. However, SIAM describes his poetic experience with "In Jerusalem" as the poem writing him, rather than him writing the poem. The vision from six years ago is now unfolding and he urges all HUman BEings to assist Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney on a grassroots level to pass out flyers, send emails, make phone calls and visits to local and state politicians, and write letters to stop the Israeli Defense Forces and Israeli Air Forces massacre of millions of innocent Palestinians that has been on-going since Israel was declared a state in 1948 and began to expand its borders, contrary to the United Nations Partition Plan of 1947.

SIAM wishes that it be understood that Zionism and Judaism are two totally contrary ideas. SIAM also wishes to makes it very clear at this time that he is not against all Jewish people, but that he presently takes a stand with thousands of orthodox Rabbis of Judaism presently living in Israel and elsewhere in the world that do not agree or support the present racist and imperialistic Zionist state and its horrible policy of extermination of the Palestinian People. SIAM is not against the religion of Judaism or all Jewish people, but is against the present racist Zionist State and it outrageous political policies of extermination which now governs Israel.

According to a recently emailed announcement from Revolution Books in New York City, "The 1.5 million people of Gaza - fenced in on all sides - are being subjected to a brutal military assault from land and air. Civilian casualties are in the thousands. Food, medicine, and fuel are blockaded. " Television, radio, and newsprint journalists have also been denied entry into areas within Israeli borders where the antiquated Katyusha rockets and Grad bombs have struck, so that they cannot report the minimal casualties and property damage there, as compared to the devastation in Palestine. Though the news media is now bringing more attention to this travesty than in recent years, and they are stating that the Palestinians are heavily out-armed, the Zionist sympathizing news media will not broadcast the truth about the genocide taking place in Palestine. They will not show the disproportionate numbers of Palestinian deaths and property damage as compared relatively on the other side of the “Israeli Security Fence”, which is no more than an apartheid wall that makes the former Berlin Wall look like a little garden fence. A prophetic line from "In Jerusalem" states:

"entire families with the young, elderly, and invalid, literally
burned and buried alive beneath the weight of overturned rubble
in brick and mortar - crying, hurting, needing, bleeding, dying,
an atrocity multiplied to the trillionth monstrosity,
a scientific equation of devastation that even Albert Einstein
or Dr. Frankenstein could not, and would not speculate to calculate "

For those who wish to read and experience directly the entire epic and prophetic poem, "In Jerusalem", and also can stand to see photos that you won't see on regular television stations, please click on the following URL: http://siam165.tripod.com/id25.html .

SIAM reminds America, with special emphasis on black college students, about how historically instrumental these educated youth were during the Civil Rights Movement in using non-violent protest such as sit-ins and marching to change the thinking of this nation to the point whereas in just a few days, the first black man elected under the current Constitution of the United States, will be inaugurated as President of these same United States of America. Today, the political climate has changed, and cyberspace is the "new sit-in" for all people who wish to become involved in a new political movement.

"Students must use their voice and stand up for what is right, regardless of where the injustice occurs. If we allow the U.S. to support this crime against humanity by saying or doing nothing, then we are inviting a similar atrocity to occur on U.S. soil without International support or protest," says Rachel Armour, HBCU graduate and international award-winning educator. "Take heed to SIAM's words, for I know he walks in the footsteps of great prophets sent from God to warn us about the on-going holy war and ethnic cleansing in Palestine," she adds.

Most recently, SIAM's poetry has appeared on the Internet at distinguished websites such as

The Words "I Love You": Words That Invoke A Need for A State of Supreme Spiritual Ascendancy

Posted

The words, I Love You, are spoken by the countless multitudes; yet those very same three words mean something entirely different to each individual. Without an aspect of spirituality, one cannot even begin to enter the perimeters of such a vast and complex edifice, established upon these three most used and often extremely abused, important, and significant words. For instance, many people Love cats. You know how a cat will come close and rub itself up against you, causing you to think it is rubbing you, when in actuality, it is only rubbing and pleasuring itself up against you? Since there are so many views of these three words, I Love You, as one of the over six billion inhabitants upon the face of this tiny blue planet, i also have a right to make an offering of mine.

i say, as the late mystical Gnostic teacher Osho, that true authentic Love, has NOthing to do with another SOME-body, but rather with one’s OWN unique State of BEing. In this State of BEing a relationship is possible, but not confined to this State of BEing. When two mature persons are in authentic Love, one of the greatest miracles and yet one of the greatest paradoxes happens. They are together, yet tremendously alone, and their oneness does not destroy their individuality.

It was the Great Master who said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” Some, according to their particular perception, interpreted him to mean what they would mean by such terminology, such as finely structured material buildings made from common brick and mortar. How about “my Father’s house” possibly meaning: In Supreme State of OMniversal IAM Consciousness, there are many levels or planes of Spiritual Awareness? Could it possibly be that he and other highly evolved Great HUman BEings spoke to the masses in parables because each person who gathered to hear them listened and heard from their own unique and distinct level of perception and awareness? Perhaps that is why ALL enlightened and ascended Masters are never understood by those who are far less developed and evolved than they. That is why, for the most part, followers of them only become bad imitations of an original product. Today, Churches, Synagogue, Mosques, Temples, Halls, etc. are all, for the most part, producing multitudes of bad imitations of original products.

All views of every concept are worth viewing, and one will only be allowed to perceive according to one’s capacity. i mean, a shot glass certainly won’t hold the same amount of liquid as a pitcher. We often speak what we are never even aware of, because we don’t apply the necessary faculties within us to truly hear and see, like sleep walkers, or like those stumbling, idiotic looking, slow walking zombies in the movie, Night of The Living Dead. Take the words we use in answering the telephone; we say, “HELLO”. Another person, who we say we Love, calls us, and this is our benediction of Supreme Grace that is spoken as a celebratory Sacred breath upon them? Our benediction is one of HELL LOW. Therefore, when we utter “HELLO”, we are sending upon them a greeting of the lowest depths of Hell; we are saying with the utmost interior conviction that i wish upon you the lowest depths of HELL! We are literally saying: GO TO HELL! And this is our blessing upon them?

Notice the difference in the sound of “HELLO” as contrasted with the melodious sounds from antiquity of Shalom, Salaam, Namaste, Shanti, Kapayapaan, Imhotep, or Nunga Deff, to pronounce but a few words from ancient cultures, used as a Holy benediction of greeting and peace. Did the ancients, called Holy Mystics, of every religion or religious discipline in every culture known to man know something our space shuttle age, with its compact Presario and laptop Dell computers, is too stupid and ignorant to recognize? Certainly, a great deal of knowledge is required in a proper application of the words, I Love You. The same is required of any word that is spoken. I have lectured on the power of certain sounds as well as the power inherent in our spoken words; for every word has a distinct sound of musical note and manifest power. Our words reflect our thoughts, and modern science has recently proven that thoughts are THINGS.

Modern physics has experimentally proven that there are sounds that can kill, and there are sounds that can heal. The OMniverse itself is made up of innumerable sounds that comprise ONE UNIVERSAL SOUND. Also, it was the great Astronomer, Johannes Kepler, who wrote out the musical notes of the stars and planetary bodies in our solar system that he calculated and transcribed, which the primordial poets proclaimed as, “The Music of The Spheres” - an existential, continuous, Everlasting Divine Song of healing and exhilarating joy to anyone blessed, like the Saints of all Faiths were, with the spiritual capacity to witness or hear IT. They also heard and understood the speech of the rocks, rivers, flowers, plants, and trees.

Those zombies in the movie, Night of The Living Dead, certainly did not hear in the same way those who had not been infected with such an infectious spiritual and physical DIS-EASE did. Even their concept of Love was different. Their concept of the words, I Love You, culminated in their eating the living brains out of those they wanted to be near and close to.

MEDITATION FROM THE MALA'IKA

[Meditation from the Angels, as directly spoken to SIAM, while in the House of Darrou Quddous (House of Holiness) in the Holy City of Touba, Senegal, West Africa]

All perception is a reflection of our inner state.
If the state is changed, the perception is changed. Attitude determines altitude. Notions from the emotions are deceptive and often misleading in discerning what is most significant and real.

THE DIVINE SECRET

 "...so that there remain not for yourself and your desire and your purpose and your longing of this world and of the hereafter anything with its head raised and neither any word that is listened to, not any opinion which is followed, excepting obedience to the commandment of the Lord and standing by Him and cheerful acceptance of His decree, rather complete merging in His decree and allotment. Thus you become the servant of the Lord and not a servant of the people and their opinion."

~ Shaikh Abd Al-Qadr Jilani


 

"This is the secret: NOthing matters but serving & loving God (swt) so that He loves & serves you. The secret is acceptance of DIVINE POWER. When we are in harmony with it, everything IS as it should BE without anxiety, stress, worry, concern, strain, etc. right when and where it's supposed to BE. Thus we merge into our SOURCE, our ORIGIN. The merging that takes place is so smooth and seamless that one can't distinguish ONE from the other. The secret is the fulfillment of DIVINE DESTINY - the BEcoming of what we were created to BE all along. It's not just Jesus (as) and the other Prophets, but all of us who call ourselves HUman BEings, who by birthright are bestowed with the ability and capability of BEing like unto GOD. However some where along the spiritual path, we fell asleep and fell into a dream state that often times is a nightmare; but when we are beloved of GOD, we are given help, both seen & unseen to awaken us. As we struggle through life/death lessons ['cause this life is a series of practice runs on how to die] toward consciousness, and finally BEcome aware [God-willing before death arrives], we do certainly translate from servants and slaves of God to friends of God. When awakened, we realize that we are of a SELECT few who've been unplugged from the collective dream called the MATRIX. Once we've been awakened, we can pretend we haven't, but at what price? To try to remain asleep when the alarm has already been sounded, only leads to pain, depression, despair, irritability, etc. Is BEing awaken BEfore most other HUmans a comfortable place? Perhaps not unless we come to an impenetrable understanding of THE DIVINE."

~ Mame Diarra Busso M'Backe

 

BRIEF ARTISTIC BIO

PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA

A Prose Poem by SIAM

He has not been raised up by God to carry all of your heavy weights and burdens. He is not here to solve all of your manifold problems. He is not here to help you get more food stamps, or show you how to legalize marijuana. He is not here to pay your gas and water bills. He is not here to help your football team win the next Super Bowl game or pick and choose for you who will play for the new and improved NBA. He is not here to rid the world of ALL black-on-black crime, or to stop ALL drug trafficking in the nation. He is not here to do everything for you. He is not here to pick green boogers from your nose, or to stop all racism in this country. He is not here to clean your filthy toilets or take out all your dirty trash. He is not here to supply you with more rib tips, pigs’ feet, hog maws, chitterlings, black-eyed peas, collard greens, fried pork chops, watermelon, or to cook your barbecue chicken wings. He is not here to Step ‘n’ Fetchit, Amos and Andy, or Sanford and Son his way into your homes. Neither will he be appearing on the BET Last Comic Stand. He is not here to placate or pacify you. He is here to teach, to inspire, and to motivate you into MOTIVATING YOU. He is not here to change you; he is here to help you find more of YOU. He is not here to do everything for you. He is here to help you CHANGE YOUR THINKING. He is here to supplicate YOU to make happen what is within your very own hands, the power to make happen. He is here as a divine symbol of what a Human Being who does not fear to dream his dream can make happen. He is here to set an example that not all black fathers are no-good non-providers who abandon their families and do not face their responsibilities as men. He is here to show all black men how to be wise, tender, and loving to their wives. He is here not as the Powerful God, but as a man who is DIVINELY GOD-EMPOWERED. He is not here to do everything for you. He is here to help you find more of YOU. He is here to help you find more DREAMING. He is here to help you find more WILLING. He is here to help you CHANGE YOUR THINKING, from I can’t, into, I-WILL, I-MUST, I-CAN. He is here to show us by example how to FOLD SPACE and bring INTO MANIFESTATION whatever we dream and will ourselves to bring INTO MANIFESTATION. He is here to show you the way, but YOU MUST FOLLOW THE WAY HE SHOWS. God has raised up into our midst a great Nubian prince, with a family of faces, noses, and lips like the ones our ancestors’ had who were not allowed to cast their vote concerning the workings of this nation.

God has sent us -


 

ANOTHER SON OF AMON RA


 

ANOTHER COMING OF ROYAL PTAH


 

TO TEACH THE MULTITUDES HOW TO SAY:

 

 

IAM THAT IAM!

Self-Introspection - A Meditation from SIAM

Self-introspection is not so comfortable - viewing our many contradictions and encountering our many subjective selves can be a bit disconcerting to say the least, yet very necessary. This important inquiry is not meant to stifle and cripple us; instead, it is meant to free and liberate us. Without such self-introspection, we cannot advance upon the path. The judgments we make must be made from the standpoint of objective witness and not subjective victim - the observer who stands outside, yet within, the perimeters of the viewing scene of self. No movie on television can compare to the sit-com of our individual lives; for there is no greater content or drama. The only certainty of our existence is that there is NO certainty; therefore, we must learn to live in a state which supersedes the changeableness of things. If we do not discover this reality, we remain forever trapped and bound by the impermanence of life. Ancient, Mystic knowledge teaches us that we are both, the cause and the effect behind the totality of our life experience; and it teaches us to live in a state of utter detachment. For this is the only place or state that frees us from the effects of impermanence and places us into simply, the suchness of things. This is the Supreme State. To be a participant, yet stand outside the participatory process-action as a separated witness is the only way to taste the sweet inside the emptiness of suchness. He, who can do this, is no longer a victim of existence, but BEcomes a Master over existence and a Witness to Power. No one, who is not committed to a continuous meditative practice of self-inquiry or self-introspection, can experience this.


 

 

FRIENDSHIP

Excerpted from "The Prophet"

by Kahlil Gibran

And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."

Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."

And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.

For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?

Seek him always with hours to live.

For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

 


The Mirrored Self

Let us imagine a quiet, cozy cove where all the senses except one seem to have dispersed. There is nothing to smell, nothing to taste, nothing to hear, and nothingto feel but the reaction to what can be seen.  Nearby is a pool, so still that it resembles a limpid mirror.  If we look in it, what we see is the reflection of ourselves, just as we thought we looked, wearing the identical clothes. the same countenance...

Ah, this is us, the us we know, and as we savor the wonderful selves-of-perfection we suddenly realize that just below our mirror, there is another reflection that is not quite so clear, and not quite what we expected.  This translucent surface has a tendency toward the vague: the lines are not firm and the colors not quite the same, but it is us, or should we say me, or rather one of our other selves? We examine this uncertain portrait and just as we feel inclined to accept it we realize that, down below this, there is still another mirror reflecting another of our selves, and more.  For this third mirror is transparent, and we can plainly see what is going on before and behind it, and we refuse to credit thathereis still another of our selves.  But there we are with four reflections, all reflections of us who look at them.  We accept the first three, even with the vague and misty overtones, but the fourth, on the other side of the transparent mirror, leaves uf bafled and on the verge of defeat.  It is hard to believe that we would do this to me, but we saw it with our own eyes.  Which is the one we love most? We know that I am one of our favorite favorite pople, but which one? It does not have anything to do with what we are doing to anybody else, but what we are doing to me, the thinker-writer, the okayer, the nixer, the player, the listener, the critic, the corrector.  What are they all saying? We can't hear them.  We can only see them. A ripple in the pool and they all disappear.

 

Now we can hear, feel, smell, and taste.

Close your eyes.....And go back....

Before the Internet or the MAC

Before semi automatics and crack

Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...



Way Back........



I`m talking about hide and go seek at dusk.

Sitting on the porch

Hot corn bread and butter.

The Good Humour man

Red light, Green light.

Chocolate milk, Lunch tickets

Penny candy in a brown paper bag.

Playing pinball in the corner store.

Hopscotch, butterscotch, double dutch

Jacks, kickball, dodgeball.

Mother May I?


Hula Hoops and Sunflower Seeds

Jolly Ranchers, Banana Splits

Wax Lips and Moustaches

Running through the sprinkler

The smell of sun and licking salty lips....






Watching Saturday Morning cartoons

Fat Albert, Road Runner, Super Man, The Three Stooges, and Bugs Bunny

Or back futher, listening to The Shadow on the radio

Catching lightning bugs in a jar

Playing with a sling shot and pea shooter.



When around the corner seemed far away,

And going downtown seemed like going somewhere.

Bedtime

Climbing trees

An ice cream cone on a warm summer night

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream



A cherry coke from the fountain at the corner drug store

A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers

Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians

Sitting on the curb, jumping down the steps,

Jumping on the bed, pillow fights

Running till you were out of breath

Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt

Being tired from playing...

Remember that?



I ain`t finished just yet...



Eating Kool-aid powder with sugar

Remember when...

When there were two types of sneakers for girls and boys

(Keds & PFFlyers) and the only time you wore them at school,

was for "gym".

When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up, if you had one.

When nearly everyone`s mom was at home when the kids got there.

When nobody owned a purebred dog.

When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter a miracle.





Remember?



When you`d reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.

and hustle pop bottles to get your favourite treat or candy

When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.

When your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.

When all of you male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done, everyday.

When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, for free, every time. And you didn`t pay for air.

And, you got trading stamps to boot!

When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.

When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid thought a thing of it.

When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents.

When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed..and did!

When being sent to the principal`s office was nothing compared to the whipping that awaited a misbehaving student at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn`t because of drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.

Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! and some of us are still afraid of them!!!



Didn`t that feel good..just go back and say,

Yeah, I remember that!





I want to go back to the time when...

Decisions were made by going "eenie-meenie-miney-mo&qu ot;.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over"!

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly".

Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening.

It wasn`t odd to have two or three best friends.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball and the rules didn`t matter.

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.



It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn`t an Olympic event.

Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot.

Nobody was prettier than your Mom.

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the amusement park.

Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.

Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare".

Saturday morning cartoons weren`t a 30-minute ad for action figures.

No shopping trip was complete, unless a new toy was brought home.

"oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense.

Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.



War was a card game.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.

Baseball cards and popsicle sticks in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.

Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable baby aspirin.

Ice cream was considered a basic food group.

Older siblings were the worst tormenters, but also the fiercest protectors.



If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!!



Thanks for taking a break from your "grown up" life

"RAIN OF GRACE," I now refer to as "The Great Book of SIAM" is more then a mere book of poetry, it is a MASTERPIECE. Its depth leaves a mark on your thoughts and soul. The words evoke change as they massage the intellect and emotions. It's amazing that one man can contain such insight and gift of expression you know only comes from the Gods.

Reading this book is an honor a delight and privilege. Thank you my friend for being an open vessel and allowing it to flow through you.

When I read the poem on flatulence, I knew there was no end or excuse for this mans genius except the necessary touch of insanity needed to bring it forth. The same genius and insanity that marks renowned men of our time and continues throughout all the other mentionable works in this book.

This book is a must read for anybody who needs or desires to swim in deep waters and come up for air meaning contemplation, meditation and personal reflection. It is not for the faint at heart. I strongly encourage everyone to read this book; support this artist and writer as he so deserves. He is both before and beyond his time.

Let him take you were you've never been and never imagined you could go while not moving your feet.

Peace and Blessings on and to the Great Book of SIAM, "Rain Of Grace."

Author of "Fart In The Wind."
