*Waking outta a half-assed sleep reaching for my laptop* Hello! Good afternoon! Okay, I've had a talk with two individuals I've known for quite a long time the other day and to me for the way I'm feeling right now in this current mind frame of mine (mixed feelings) I've come to the conclusion that I might re frame from worldly religion. My studies as a "personal scholar" has took a turn for the worst, That being said, I need to find that path I once was on about a year and a half ago. My last workplace environment was one that pushed for this "drive" in me to speak out against the laws that be. It was like, I was surrounded by so much adversity that it made me super passionate for every conversation, debate, argument etc. I think once I made my departure from that, I became lackadaisical. I became real infatuated with anime again in my time off (As my bills went downhill) with ones such as Samurai Champloo and REBORN! But I must admit it felt good for a short period of time being a "shit face bum". Most would agree, That this would have been the perfect opportunity for me to get on the ball and advance my mind and studies. Well that didn't happen lol instead I went backwards.
But as my reason of stating a step back at religion, I'm being told constantly to "Give it to God" First off, Why every time something in life goes wrong I must run to God? Do we run to God when everything's going to plan? I doubt most do. It gets kinda funny when I think about how some one asks for somebody else to pray for them. C'mon people, You know that person you ask will forget about you when it boils down to it because their wants and needs out weight anything you ask them to pray for you for (In a personal sense). Being raised up as a Christian the black community you tend to see alot in the Church house, Most of the time its issues about postings and money issues. "Practice what you Preach" is saying and a creed most followers of religion (Particularly forms of Christianity) don't LIVE by. Its like saying I'm a vegetarian Friday and eating meatball surprise Monday! It just doesn't cut it! When I look at the origins of alot of stuff I tend to become real excited because I want the truth to manifest within my brain till the point I'm so knowledgeable about so many subjects and aspects of history to the point I'm a great intellect! College also looks good at the moment but a check from the government only lasts a few weeks LOL I think I'd rather work and save money and study what I can when I have free time.
And no this is not a blog attacking anybody's beliefs, Its just an outcry for understanding the origins of it. I have ambitious to read alot of books. I wanted to hit it home of course first with topics on Africa. Ancient Egypt or Kemet being one of the starting points. The art of Egypt has really been speaking to me of late, Literally drawing me in. Horus, Isis and Osiris beinging the main branch I'm looking over right now. To think that its so much that can be drawn outta the influence of Kemet on later religions is head bogging. Next line of study would be the Roman Empire in which I know little of lol.
That's It for now....I think ^_^
