glad about it i'm glad about it you know and uh hey man i'm glad you guys are back to learn some more today brothers and sisters let me share something with you guys i don't even know how to describe the cases of cognitive dissonance that i read about on this past week uh the truth really does bother some people i mean take that back bothers a whole lot of people especially when the truth cancels out what you have stood upon and what you have lived by or lived on for so long the truth when the truth cancels that out man it's it causes a major disturbance you know so uh let's let's get into the teachings for today and i'm going to uh pull this on the screen so you can see that our opening here anyway of course that's our brand for the african village our logo and brothers and sisters i always open up with what you see here okay so if you uh would make a circle this how you usually do it like this and have people repeat after me by saying these words let's read them together the space inside this circle i want y'all to really pay attention to this today okay the space inside this circle represents my realm of knowledge all that i think i know about whatever i think i know is depicted right here within this circle i must keep in mind that there is more to know than what is within the circumference of my awareness i hope you guys understood that okay i have to start my teachings off like that especially when i know that what i'm about to say is gonna be problematic for those who are watching okay and i'm sure that uh today's uh teaching is gonna be problematic for a lot of people is going to be liberating for even more but it's going to be problematic for quite a few people okay uh but as i've always said just prove me wrong prove me wrong okay all right let's continue here why do i teach the objective of sitting here and teaching you today the reason why i'm doing this the goal the aim here is so that i can begin notice i said begin the process of undoing and reversing ideas and concepts that have been programmed into the minds of our people by the religious statements and church doctrines that have caused us as a people to adopt a belief system that has resulted in our loss of contact with what is real our loss of contact with what is factual our loss of contact with what is historical and our loss of contact with what is spiritual now brothers and sisters i say that to you every week and the reason why i say it to you every week is so that i know that you know that i'm clear on what my assignment is i have to do this you know why because believe it or not there are people out there that feel like their assignment is to tell me what i need to be teaching okay so the best way to clear that up is to let you know that i know what i came out of my mother's womb for and this is it right here i say it again to begin the process if i can just get the if i can just get us jump started in the minds of the viewers if i can just jump start your mind to start thinking critically okay so my my goal here is to begin the process of undoing and reversing ideas and concepts that have been programmed into the minds of our people by religious statements and church doctrines over the years you've heard these these these these these statements and these doctrines and these lies for so long that you genuinely believe them to be the truth but brothers and sisters here's the key remember this when you have told so many lies on top of each other over the centuries that telling the truth about one of your early foundational lies would unravel all the lies that have been defensively piled on top of it thus exposing you for what you truly are you have no choice but to continue to lie yes religious leaders all over the world hear what i'm saying when your ability to maintain your control over another's reality is based on the lies about what you are and who they are you can never tell the truth get that never brothers and sisters today i want to talk to you from this subject right here deceivers who don't know they are deceivers who don't know they are i remember when i was assigned to intelligence division in the core one of the things that we were taught as intelligence operatives is the most successful operatives is a person who doesn't even know that they are one isn't that deep the most successful agent not operative the most successful agent the most effective agent is one who doesn't even realize that they are an agent okay brothers and sisters i don't know how to get you to understand today how deep this programming of religious brainwashing goals and keeping in line again with my assignment i have to go here with you today i have been in the last two weeks i have been called oh my god some of the most vile things you know uh it's crazy because no one has proven me wrong now i get a lot of comments a lot of remarks and statements about i don't know what i'm talking about and and i'm i'm i never was saved and uh how to be ashamed of myself and you name it now you know all this kind of stuff you know he needs to go back to school learn learn more i get all i get all these kind of comments you know uh i've lost my mind i've been hearing that one for years though i've lost my mind yeah i hear all this kind of stuff and and all i say is you ain't got to go through all that you don't have to you don't have to go through all of the name calling to trying to vilify me just prove me wrong that's all okay to give a perfect example what i'm talking about of how our minds have been so programmed and brainwashed to think what is not is did you get what i just said we've been programmed and brainwashed to think that what is not is let me give you a verse right out of the bible okay a passage of scripture that's gonna mess up a whole lot of people today okay i'm telling you right now so brace yourself because this passage right here is going to mess up a whole lot of people i'm going to show you how it has been misapplied okay to put us in a situation that we shouldn't even be in in the bible okay in the book of matthew the 24th chapter of matthew okay matthew the 24th chapter let's see if i can put it up here i want you to see it okay yes matthew 24 chapter verses one through five okay i want you to see these verses very carefully here's what it says now many of you have heard these verses before but i promise many of you have not heard these verses as it is stated now watch to see what i'm talking about first verse and jesus went out and departed from the temple and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple second verse and jesus said unto them see not all these things verily i say unto you to you there shall not be left here one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down third verse and as he sat upon the mount of olives the disciples came unto him privately saying tell us when shall these things be and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world notice these next two verses and here's where the earthquake earthquake comes in fourth verse and jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many now i remember it had to be about three o'clock in the morning one day my phone rang and it was my assistant minister in my previous congregation there in new jersey who's passed away now the minister derek bull boa who has passed away now and derek said to me doc this is just i said i need you to wake up i said what is it derek i thought something tragic had happened at that hour right doc i need you to wake up what is it derek what is it man doctors three o'clock in the morning doc i need you to wake up get your bible get your bible man get your bible it's okay doc i grabbed my bible he said man turn to matthew the 24th chapter and read verses four and five which right there on the screen so you can read it okay now i'm not going to put you through what i went through [Music] that morning around 3 10 a.m okay i'm not going to put you through that but i read it and i said okay derek i read it he said read it again man i said derek it is brother come on man can we do this later he said man read it again i read it again and jesus answered said unto him take he that no man deceive you but many shall come in my name saying i am crazy shall deceive many okay derek and i and that was it and then he said read it again because you ain't get it yet i said derek come on man we're not going to do this this time in the morning he said read it again man just read it doc just read it and i could hear the urgency in his voice and now i'm beginning to wake up and i read it again and jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many okay i'm starting to feel a different slight vibration here i read it again and jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many now the question i have for you as you look at this right now my question to you is do you see it again the subject for today is deceivers who don't know they are did it hit you yet do you see it it's right there it's right there do you see it and jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many those two verses right there is enough to shut down the christian religion all together a brother asked me last week doc what you trying to do man i was i'm just trying to teach the truth that's all okay i'm using this passage right here today as an example to show you how your thinking has been misdirected into thinking what is not notice what it says let's analyze these two verses right here and jesus answered and said unto them well first of all for those of you out there who don't know any better we understand those of us who know better we understand this didn't really happen but for those of you who think that it did happen follow this very well okay for those of you out there who are bible believers let me see if you believe this and jesus answered and said unto them who's them the disciples not you not me not bishop watermelon okay or no no not those who are in their pulpits today preaching those of us alive today that's not who this is talking to it clearly says right there and jesus answered and said unto them now this is important brothers and sisters here's what he goes on to say right take heed be on your guard that no one deceives you now the problem when it comes to the bible and people reading it today is readers think that it's talking to them that's not how you understand scripture okay you never read scripture from the perspective of the reader you always read scripture from the perspective of the speaker or the perspective of the listener okay so here it says jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you in other words guys listen i don't want y'all to be deceived okay that's what he's saying the fifth verse for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many did you get that fifth verse yet did it hit you yet i'll never forget that morning and maybe it might have been around it might have taken me about 20 minutes of reading that over and over and over and over before it hit me and when that thing that light came on in my head i sat up in my bed and said oh oh no no no no no no no no no no now mind you okay i had already came to the realization and understanding that jesus never existed that i already knew so why is this thing disturbing me so why am i now wide awake almost for the next two days because this verse right here clearly says brothers and sisters the deception is do you see it yet i'm gonna show you i'm gonna tell you why you don't see it if you don't see it yet here's why you don't see it because we have been programmed to to miss dot to to i should say we've been misdirected to see what is there other than the way we should see it we have been programmed to see something that it does not say we've been misdirected from seeing what it clearly does say okay ah you know what even as i'm saying it some of you guys are catching it i i can kind of sense that in my intuition some of y'all are seeing it like oh my goodness oh oh no notice what it says notice what it says many shall come in my name okay from from the from the original language there many shall come representing me or many shall come as my representatives or many shall come as my messengers saying i am christ and shall deceive many deceivers who don't know they are brothers and sisters as uncomfortable as what i'm saying is that's what it says like it or not for many shall come in my name as my representatives or as ministers of mine speaking in my stead supposedly saying i am christ and shall deceive many so what's the deception because for those of you who haven't caught it yet you have been taught to see that verse as or to say many shall come in my name saying they are christ and shall deceive many that's how you and i were taught to see that verse and we call them false teachers because they're claiming to be christ that is not what that verse says it does not say many shall come in my name claiming to be christ or saying they are christ that's not what it says it says many shall come in my name saying i am christ or to properly transliterate it from the greek for you many shall come as my ministers or as my representatives okay or as my emissaries are speaking for me or in my behalf saying things about me that's not true but i don't want you guys to be deceived brothers and sisters i know i know that what i'm saying right now is an earthquake in the minds of many people but i just have to bring the earthquake man okay listen i've learned i learned a long time ago that surgery is painful that's why they have to put you to sleep because you wouldn't be able to take it surgery is painful but guess what it's necessary it's necessary for the healing of the body so for the sake of the body brothers and sisters i have to show you the cancers in the body cancers that have caused us to misquote certain verses in the bible so that we'll think that we're in a healthy state when we're not jesus answered and said unto them take heed that no man deceive you now brother ray why are you saying that it's saying that because it's saying that that's why i'm saying that but look just analyze it with me again you and i have been taught or programmed or brainwashed to see that fifth verse to say many will come in my name claiming to be christ or many will cl come in my name claiming or saying that they are christ that is not what it says brothers and sisters it clearly says many will come in my name saying that i am christ or many shall come in my name or as my representatives saying things about me that's simply not true and i don't want you guys to be deceived i think y'all see that now whether you want to or not in fact some of you guys are so disturbed by right now you want to just walk away you want to turn your computer off you can do that if you want to it's up to you it's up to you okay for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many now how can you grab that to be exactly what i'm saying here by the fourth verse and jesus answered and said unto them take heed guys i don't want you guys to be deceived okay people are gonna come after i'm gone saying things about me that's simply not true they're gonna be preaching stuff about me i don't want you guys to fall for that though that's what it's actually saying here okay i don't want y'all to fall for that you've been with me every day for three years okay supposedly right that's what it would have been if it had happened if it had been true so why would listen why why would he have to worry or concern himself about the disciples thinking that somebody else is him that's almost like me you guys watch me every week you know very well what i look like that's almost like somebody else coming on my page claiming to be me right that's almost like me saying all right i don't want y'all to be deceived okay because people are gonna come along claiming to be ray higgins but i ain't going to deceive a lot of people but i want you to see do i have to concern myself with that i don't think so i don't think so the last thing i have to concern myself with is somebody coming and claiming to be me okay in like manner the last thing that jesus if he if this had actually happened the last thing he would have to concern himself with is him being concerned about somebody coming along after he's gone claiming to be him and deceiving the disciples no but what he was concerned about was a teaching coming along after he had left okay that would that would be deceiving or deceptive and what would that teaching be that he is christ or the christ yes deceivers who don't know they are brothers and sisters i don't know if you can really grab the gist of what i'm saying here today okay but we have been so programmed we've been so programmed man to you know preach what we've been told to preach think what we've been told to think without even critically analyzing what we've been told okay so i want to say to you today and and i want you guys to listen to me i don't want to do too much word presentation today and i mean words on the screen because then i give you information overload i don't want to do that i don't want to do that today i want to try to heal those who who may be hurting today okay because of what i've said you couldn't handle it and it was painful for you what i might have said just a few moments ago might have been devastating for you okay so my job now is to heal that i don't wanna i don't wanna leave you distraught and and and and you know don't know what to do with yourself to the point to it you know brothers and sisters i kid you not i kid you not okay coming to the truth of this matter was so devastating for me that i i came close to taking my life i mean that's how devastated i was so i understand man i do really trust me when i say i understand some of you guys out there may think i'm being totally insensitive you may think i'm trying to attack your your beliefs i'm not trying to attack you or your beliefs i'm simply trying to teach that's what i want to do i want to teach however when a person is teaching okay you're gonna hear something other than what you thought was that's called learning okay so brothers and sisters follow me today when i say you know you should not believe something just because some old manuscripts have been produced nor should you believe something because it's your national belief as here in america and no i didn't stutter when i said that america cook up right the national belief of america is christianity and we were raised to believe that program nor should you believe something because you've been made to believe it from childhood okay otherwise if you do you may be convinced of what might be true instead of what must be true brothers and sisters for a long time for many years i believed i preached and i taught what i thought what might be true but i didn't know if it was or not then as i began to do my studying and my searching for the truth and my analyzing of the programming that have been put into my head the indoctrinations that have been given to me as i began to to just to go through them with a fine-toothed comb i began to understand that what i was teaching was not what must be true okay so many of you are out there out there are convinced of what might be true but not what must be true okay so what i i recommend is that you reason truth out and after you have analyzed it and find that it is good for you and others then know it i didn't say believe it i said then know it okay know the truth because your bible says and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free understand that right so once you know the truth then live up to it and help others do the same a very bad and dangerous habit that we have is incorporating what we hear as truth without verifying whether or not what we've heard is in fact true that's a very bad habit that we had and yet we do it we do it in a whole lot of areas man you know we do it when it comes to rumors we we do it hearsay we heard that somebody did a certain thing or or we heard you know rumors hearsay and what do we do we take it and repeat it and regurgitate it as though it's true like we know we're talking about we do that when it comes to people's opinions okay we do that when it comes to our religious doctrines and beliefs without analyzing what we've been told we wholeheartedly i think i may have said this last week we wholeheartedly believe and defend what we cannot prove okay and we readily reject and disbelieve what we cannot disprove that's a habit that we have man let me say that to you again we wholeheartedly believe and defend what we cannot prove brothers and sisters those of you and i'm not saying this to be facetious or or sarcastic or or disrespectful but i'm saying it to make you think brothers and sisters those of you okay who believe follow me who believe that a guy named jesus was born of a virgin one of my two favorite words i told you last week prove it those of you who believe that a guy named david picked up five stones and killed a guy named goliath prove it those of you who believe that a guy and a woman named adam and eve existed in the garden of eden prove it where is your evidence where is your empirical evidence where's your proof i said to you that my teacher dr ben used to say these words you have belief i have proof as i used to say it and i'm saying it to you you have belief i have proof yes okay when it comes to our soul brothers and sisters or or our psyche is the greek word when it comes to our psyche our mind and what we feed it the only thing that we should want the only thing that we should want in our soul in our psyche is something called truth okay now the first step and i gotta say this this is very important the first step in freeing the mind of a misinformed person oh boy the first step is to understand what has blocked that person from attaining freedom and crush that obstruction understand what i'm saying in order to bring salvation to a people who have been miseducated the teacher me in this case i must first of all show you where and how you've been miseducated okay that's why i showed you that verse that passes the scripture to show you how you've been miseducated or misdirected in your thinking to see something that it does not say you've been taught to see that verse to say many people will come in my name claiming to be christ and and and then so here now you're on to you know so yeah so that's why we got false teachers and false preachers out here because the bible said this was going to happen folk would come along claiming to be christ themselves and that that's not what it says it says many will come along saying i am christ the speaker is saying that people will come saying things about him but he didn't want the disciples to be deceived by what people would be saying but yet aren't people saying that today huh brothers and sisters let me do this here let's go back and take a good look at this for a moment okay aren't people saying this today many shall come in my name saying i am christ and shall deceive many aren't people saying that is isn't that what the gospel of jesus christ is all about and you have to believe it if you want to be saved thanks to the roman catholic church isn't that what it's all about this deception right here the very deception that is on the screen isn't that it don't we have this according to this verse don't we have deceivers out here who don't know they are because they've been thinking that this verse says people are going to come saying that they are christ and deceive many that's not what it says it's not what it says it's not what it says and brothers and sisters again i don't want you to think for one moment that i am insensitive to the discomfort that some of you may be feeling right now please don't think i'm insensitive to it i've been there i've been where you are okay so as i said man in order to bring salvation to a people who've been miseducated the first thing i got to do is show you where and how you've been miseducated so if i have to take the bible to literally show you how you have been taught to see it saying something it doesn't say then i just have to do that especially if that's what you believe in if that's what i have to use to rescue you then so be it how does the lie become what is believed to be the truth by three things y'all number one it's received it's what we hear what we see what we experience we receive that number two we don't analyze what we receive there's a paralysis of analysis okay we don't question what we receive we we we don't attempt to analyze our experience and thirdly we accept it as true without analyzing it without verifying it without validating it we accept it as true it becomes incorporated into the way the very fiber of our life man and with conviction we end up passing it on to others now the real tragedy here follow it as well the real tragedy here brothers and sisters is when the deceivers engage in and practice the act of psycho intellectually blinding others by bestowing upon them the lies that they're believing in understand what i'm saying here's where the real tragedy and trauma comes in and i i can say that because i was one who caused tragedy and trauma i can say this i've been there i was there okay is when when the teacher or the religious leader psycho intellectually blinds other people by bestowing lies upon them and then making them teach those lies to future generations yes you see so most deceivers most of them okay who don't know they are are only teaching the lies that they were taught and like i said i was one of them you know i taught the lies that i was taught i am so thankful to the most high that i've been rescued okay i say that seriously y'all because in order to falsify the consciousness of a person or over people you must manipulate their history as dr clark used to say to us and to manipulate a people's history is to manipulate a people's consciousness okay and to manipulate a people's consciousness is to manipulate a people's possibilities and when you manipulate a people's possibilities you end up manipulating a people's power so see you see what's been done to us and how did they do it through their historiography okay much of what was compiled by roman catholic bishops in council meetings ecumenical council meetings hence giving us what we call the bible today you see family the three principal functions of eurocentric historiography is number one to separate us from the reality of ourselves by believing in what they want you to believe you separate yourself from the reality of yourself secondly by separating us from the reality of the world all right we're not seeing the world through proper lenses we're seeing the world through the lenses of eurocentric historiography through what they want us to think and thirdly to separate us from the reality and ramifications of our story brothers and sisters understand something and you've heard me say this before the most powerful psychopathology is the belief in something simply because you want it to exist let that sink in for a moment the most powerful psychopathology and when i say psychopathology i may let me let me use layman terms there and say the most powerful twisted mind the most powerful unrealistic mind is the belief in something simply because you want it to exist and that's what i'm trying to free us from trying to free us from believing in what does not exist so that we can heal and empower ourselves and return sankofa back to the power of our greatness but it has to start within you okay believe me when i say this this is not a collective thing now it might appear to be collective that's because once we get it together we'll all be on the same page up here and that's called collective consciousness and as long as we have collective consciousness we'll have unity okay but see our problems we've been trying to have unity without first getting collective consciousness with our collective consciousness brothers and sisters there can be no unity so we must ask ourselves okay why do we want or why do we need for adam and eve to have existed ask yourself that we must ask ourselves why do we want or need for noah to have existed why why do we want or need for abraham to have existed why do we want or need for david to have existed why do we want or need for jesus to have existed why do we want a need for paul to exist why do we want our need for anybody you read about in the bible to have existed why do you want or need for them to have existed brothers and sisters because none of the names that i just gave you none of these people were real they're fictitious they're epenimous characters okay and none of these epitomist characters came from or or a part of our african story none of them are part of our african cosmogony or our african philosophical anthropology none of them not one of them comes from our cultural african heritage so why do we african people want for these eurocentric fabrications to have existed please answer that for me the only only only thing that i can come up with here is because you've been programmed to be an anglophiliac that's the only only thing i can come up with yes okay because every last one of these characters that you have been believing in okay first of all you've seen them depicted as european that's number one from adam all the way to john on the isle of patmos you've seen them depicted as european all right so being this that's the imagery that you have in your psyche without even realizing it subliminally without even on an unconscious level you don't even realize that you are holding that ethnicity that that race that culture with higher esteem than you are yourself okay we want or need for them to exist so that we'll have some sense of an explanation about who and what we are now grab what i'm saying here grab what i'm saying we have been so far removed from the truth of our african story that we have no idea who we are so you know we've done because we are absent of the awareness of ourselves we have resorted to and we've resorted because we were directed to maybe i should say that first we were intentionally and strategically directed to the literature that they fabricated understand this right we were directed to it okay and then we ingested what we were directed to and to the point to whereas we believe it with all of our being and because we have no sense of who we are we look to that literature to find an identity for ourselves now understand how this works brothers and sisters follow this well what does a people do who have no self-esteem what does a people do have who have been taught that they're under a curse what does a people do who've been taught that they are god's enemies what does the people do who have been so socially put down for centuries socially undermined socially taken advantage of socially exploited socially misused what do those people do when they've been given some literature and in that literature they read about a people who have been mistreated in that literature they read about a people who have been psychologically emotionally and spiritually abused in that literature they read about a people who are suffering the same experiences and fate that they are experiencing what do those people do you know what they do they begin to identify with the people in the literature that they're reading even though the literature was given to them by the people who abused them the literature was given to them by the people who misused them the people the literature was given to them by the very people who lied to them so what do we do we look in that literature and we find that there were a people in that literature who went through a similar experience of what we're going through but god brought them out and said that they are a special people that they are holy people unto himself that's what these people who suffer low self-esteem do they begin to identify with the people in this literature and then they take on the identity that was given to the people in that literature so now these people who have been spiritually abused and misused and taken advantage of and kidnapped and raped and sodomized you name it they've been treated the worst in humanity now these people look into this literature and see somebody else who suffered like them and say this is about us this is about us so we need to call ourselves their names and and our people now take on name israelites and call themselves hebrew israelites because in the europeanized literature that's the name given to the abused people we must understand what happened to us brothers and sisters we must understand how our minds were stolen from us we must understand how our knowledge of self was stolen from us you see y'all with the cultural invasions of our motherland a kind of self-destructive programming began in the psyche of our ancestors and guess what that self-destructive programming is still continues to this present day yes brothers and sisters when europeans invaded our motherland they took control of our various institutions and began to dismantle them and african social organizations were restructured by the europeans and an anglo-saxon standard was set for our people let me say that to you again an anglo-saxon standard was set for african people now how did that happen because these invaders gained the trust of africans by intermarrying into african villages and most of this intermarrying took place between european men and african women and once once the marriage took place and and mulatto children were born the mulattos didn't know whose side they were on follow this so they end up usually taking the side of the fathers you know why because now they're under this european macho patriarchal influence so of course the mulatto children usually took the side of the father understand how this goes brothers and sisters so what this did is this gave europeans more influence in the village and the structure of the african family consequently much of the history and culture of our people were destroyed we were invaded many times y'all and each time the invaders left the society worse off than it was previously and having no respect for african culture europeans came to steal kill and destroy sound familiar your bible tells you that there's an entity that comes to steal kill and destroy and they call him the devil well that's what the europeans did and they still do it they come to steal kill and destroy you see this was the genesis brothers and sisters of the programmed self-destruction within us this was the genesis of the programming of other destruction within us and once the african family and village structure became weakened and after long periods of physical and mental and spiritual abuse africans were automatically programmed into this destructive process that you see us behaving in today you see brothers and sisters the psyche of our people was affected by this widespread dismantling of our african culture and institutions and after confiscating the natural resources and manipulating the men and women and and replacing our spirituality and god consciousness with their religious indoctrinations and inflicting a severe blow to the language and culture of our people we were left with nothing to sustain ourselves or our culture and it was at this point that our behavior became purposeless it was at this point that our behavior became aimless it was at this point that our behavior became chaotic and our people soon forgot our history our people soon forgot our roots and after many such invasions our people begin to manifest the destructive syndrome of believing in and honoring a god concept that was given to us by the very people who destroyed us even to this very day hope you understand what i'm saying here man see again you have to understand how this happened to us so you can begin to correct it so what is our remedy what is our solution for empowerment well i have to speak to you as the therapist that i am we must first admit that we africans have been programmed okay many of our people are not willing to undergo this first requirement that's necessary in eliminating the syndrome that we're in that is to admit that we have been programmed by europeans to respond in a self-destructive manner if you're not willing to first admit that then you need to just stay where you are in the quicksand of no accomplishment in the quicksand of no power in the quicksand of disrespect stay in the quicksand of being dishonored abused misused stay in the quicksand that they've designed for you i don't know what it is man some i don't know what it is i've when i've talked to people who seem to feel it would be an insult to admit that another group could deceive us like this but we have to admit it because that's exactly what happened we must admit that this happened and after we admit it then we can begin to move toward ensuring that it doesn't continue because until we admit it brothers and sisters is going to keep on going is going to self-perpetuate and it's important to understand why and how this happened to us and attempt to recondition our minds and the minds of our children brothers and sisters so we need to return to our african values of self-love our african values of appreciation for self and family our african values and a concept of african unity brothers and sisters we must learn to love ourselves you see without being able to love ourselves we can love no one else and once love of self is achieved then this love can be generated to family and and the community and and at the present time i have to be honest with you there's a deficiency in the area of self-love you know why because we've lost touch with ourselves and we don't know who or what we have become a strong sense of who we are as a people would enhance our self-esteem brothers and sisters a strong sense of self-esteem would help us to cultivate who we are as a family and as a collective a strong sense of self-esteem out of a sense of self and family and community evolves a concept of unity as a people where we can empower ourselves economically socially yes politically but we have to first love ourselves the programming process of self-destruction which we've all been victimized by has impeded our ability to engage in building unity okay so the solution to improving our situation lies in being able to understand three things and what are those three things we must understand the psychosis number one the psychosis behind our division okay number two we must understand that we have to overcome it by not allowing it to hinder us because that's exactly what we've done we've allowed the lie about what and who we are to stop our progress you believed the lie we have been for millennia the most progressive people on this planet okay so the third thing we must do is we must understand and move toward where it is that we need to be going brothers and sisters understand this understand where it is that we need to be going to that's how that goes you understand yeah let me get ready to close this my time is up and and i man i get to go in here and get to going man to get to woo yeah okay so let me pull this put this back up on the screen here for you uh so as i get ready as we get ready to get out of here okay i want to be sure that uh i got the right thing on the screen for you to see okay yes if you're watching me there on youtube subscribe to my youtube channel all right go ahead and subscribe to my youtube channel and if you want to send me an email okay you can send my email uh with your questions or comments to dr dot ray higgins number one at gmail.com all right again that's doctor dot ray higgins number one at gmail.com i also invite you brothers and sisters to listen to me teaching 24 hours a day seven days a week now i know you can't do that realistically but i'm teaching 24 hours a day seven days a week whether you can log on or not okay so that means that whenever you can log on just go ahead and log on and listen to me teaching and grow and learn and unlearn okay unlearn learn and then teach what you've learned understand how that goes all right and the reason why i have this 24 hour a day seven day a week broadcast brothers and sisters of non-stop teaching is because i want my ministry to be like an unending stream of water this is the analogy that i used for people when i'm trying to rescue them from the lies that they have lived all their lives imagine you are a container your glass right and in your glass is grape juice understand this the grape juice in you is the lie that you've been believing so what a lot of people want to do is they want to just pour out the lie that's a very dangerous place to be because if you just empty yourself then you have nothing at least when you at least believe in the lie you got something to hold on to even though it's not really working for you your belief in it is giving it power and you and it's giving you hope a hope that never comes though but you have hope okay got me all right so don't just empty yourself instead of just pouring the lie out of you just position yourself under a steady stream of water okay like logging on and listening to me teaching 24 hours a day seven days a week just position yourself and listen and learn and continuously feed yourself the truth okay and of course as you hear me teaching you hear me say don't take my word for what i'm saying go do your own research but position yourself to hear the the truth and learn from the teaching and here's how this goes as the clear water of truth goes into your glass of grape juice it will begin to dilute and dilute and dilute and dilute and dilute and eventually there won't be any more grape juice in the in your glass and you will never have experienced the pain and horror of being emptied out and nothing to hold on to that's the analogy i like to use okay so log on and listen and learn many of you have said you want me to mentor you okay well brothers and sisters i don't have the time to do one-on-one teaching okay but you do have the time to do one-on-one listening so log on listen and learn take notes always have your bibles and books they're handy though so you can see what i'm saying
