Peace and Blessings. I am building today for Mother's (of Civilization) Day, 2009. I am Mother to the beautiful young queen, Nyaa Asantewa Shabazz, who is understanding (3) years of age. She has brought such understanding to my cipher by way of her growth and development, her innocence, and her will and determination to live up to the strong name that I gave her. I am the Mother of her Civilization. I also co-exist as Mother of Civilization with my sisters to their children, our immediate communities, our ciphers, our parliaments, our Rallies, and our NATION.
WHAT IS A MOTHER? A mother can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb. It can simply mean a female parent, but it also means the source or origin of. It means maternal tenderness or affection, or something that is an extreme or ultimate example of. It means to give birth to, or can mean to care for or protect.
WHAT IS CIVILIZATION? Our lessons teach us that Civilization means "One having knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement, and is not a savage in the pursuit of happiness." (17:40) The dictionary sources civilization as "a relatively high level of cultural and technological development; specifically the stage of cultural development at which writing and the keeping of written records is attained. It also refers to the process of becoming civilized.
Being a Mother of Civilization in this day and time is not the same as it used to be. As with all things in life, we must refine and grow with the changes in the environment around us. Today, there is greater knowledge, greater economical demand and accountability, greater educational and nutritional risk to our children's well-being, and overall, a greater need to equip them with the tools and faculties they will need in order to become and remain successful, knowledgeable, and financially stable adults. Although this demand for our resources has increased exponentially in this age, the one thing that has not increased greatly, are the RESOURCES! Therefore, much of that burden falls on our backs to be that "one" who will feed our children and communities the knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, and refinement, without losing the knowledge of our OWN selves, and thus, assisting in the development of our culture. Many of us are still working to accomplish this in single-parent homes, on single-parent incomes. The community organizations are overburdened themselves and can barely assist many of us with those plus lessons of completing our GEDs, or post-high school education, technology courses, resume writing, low or free-cost daycare and healthcare, quality schooling when we cannot afford to not work and home school our children ourselves. Now, in the 21st century, this is a great opportunity for all of the Mothers of Civilization to refine the “one” from being a single individual to constituting a UNIFIED entity of two or more Mothers of Civilization; all working together, pooling our resources, building relationships between our children, co-op-ing our childcare and home school needs so that we stay on that ONE accord of building civilization, for the common purpose of elevating ourselves, our children, and in turn, our Nation.
Assuming the title as Mother of Civilization indicates a great level of respect as well as a great level of responsibility as the black woman with knowledge of herself to not only BE the Mother of Civilization, however to also DO the duty of a Mother of Civilization. We do this, everyday, tirelessly, without want for reward, praise, or luxury.
This is why it is so important for us to continue to bond together, lean on each other, learn from each other, and gather together to combine our resources for the perpetuation of our duty, to raising and growing a civilized Nation, thus the development or that “writing” of the cultural or historical record of Nation is embossed in our babies.
It’s not always easy to come together for that common cause. Sometimes its not just the simple resource we need to make it happen – but also the way in which the resource is utilized, who is utilizing them and what is the best methodology to make those said resources stretch into the portions we need to, in an effort to reach the most effective solution.
There’s no greater reward to being and doing as the Mother of Civilization than to see our children progress developmentally, culturally, educationally, and to also see ourselves gain strength in our own learning, financial power, relationships with our God, sisterhood with the Earths, the travel through our lessons, and all of the 21 ciphers that we balance, rotate, and revolved on a daily basis. In addition, there is much more to us being “Mothers” such as being that source or origin of Original Woman on this planet; we are caring and protective of our environments and will only for the best.
Add on, Family...
What do you see are attributes, challenges, and/or blessings in being Mother of Civilization in this day and time?
PEACE

"Internet Educators"
Peace Asiatics!
First off, I have to give props to Allah Jihad for helping me bring this build to its full inception. It had been on my mind ever since our Family Day (4th Annual Harvest in Allah's Garden) out here in Atlanta back in October, but the God used the phrase "internet educators" in a build we had today and it really sparked my transition of thought into words...
It seems like ever since the inception of myspace – well, since my personal awareness of and activity on myspace – a new breed of so-called Gods and Earths have emerged – those who have learned about the culture of the 5% from “internet educators”. What is an "INTERNET EDUCATOR" you ask? Typically, a God who is supposedly teaching a sista or brotha whom he has met ONLINE ONLY about the culture of the Gods and Earths, Supreme Mathematics, Supreme Alphabet, and 120 Lessons. Typically, this person has never been met IN THE PERSON and he has not shown and proven himself to be true to his word nor truly living out the culture he claims, and so his knowledge and wisdom is taken on face value by the brothas and sistas seeking education and usually (until warned) don't know any better. Many of these brothas and sistas supposedly being educated by these mysterious Gods have gotten their 120 Lessons emailed to them online, have been shown pictures from the Earths myspace pages in order to emulate their dress and headwraps, posted Universal Flags on their pages to garner the attention and acceptance of other Gods and Earths online, have Wu-Tang Clan, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Busta Rhymes and Brand Nubian on their song lists to show that they’re aware of the Gods’ influence on hip hop, and have taken on a lengthy name (for the sistas, often GIVEN to them by their “internet educator”) after merely READING the Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet – never mind applying the principles (unless application is considered writing a poem with “knowledge”, “wisdom”, “understanding”, “culture”, “power” and the like sprawled throughout the verses) or understanding them and their purposefulness.
To the sistas, when you are interested in learning more about the Nation of Gods and Earths and in studying the Math, Alphabet and 120 Lessons, and come across a “God” who sparks your attraction online (be it mentally or physically) here are some things to consider:
Have you first made an effort to find and contact Gods and Earths in your own area, before building with someone who resides in a different city or state?
Have you attended any rallies, classes or NGE gatherings in your city so that you can meet the collective of Gods/Earths and based on each potential educator’s degree of knowledge, how they live and apply what they know, how their personality and character meld with yours, and their community involvement determine who would be best suited to guide you through your studies?
If you met your “educator” online, when will you meet him in person? (You can only know a person truly if you have walked with them in addition to talking with them. A person can tell you anything they desire, but you can see the truth only if you observe with your five senses.)
Even if your educator is not in your area, do you still make an effort to connect with those you claim to be in "our Nation" in the person? (A Nation is a collective of people with common laws and culture. Consider this, if you do not spend time among that group of people, especially when you are what we call a "newborn" - new to the studies and culture of the Nation of Gods & Earths - how are you part of "our Nation"?)
If you do not live in that Gods/Earths city nor state, and therefore can't see for yourself, can others in his city or state verify that he is true and living, can they vouch for his sincerity, works, and knowledgeableness?
If that God resides in a different city, does he come around in his own city and support local ventures – like rallies, classes, seeds outings and programs, community outreach programs, family day, etc.? Does he not only attend but also assist in the planning of these ventures?
Is your “educator” encouraging you to self-reflect and self-correct, or are they ONLY praising you on being the Queen that you are (even though you’ve put forth no hard labor to refine… BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, YOU’LL BE BETTER FOR IT)?
Is your “educator” bringing to light your faults - so not to build you up on faulty ground (which prevents your crumbling upon experiencing your first earthquake)?
Do you build with proven Earths, or only your God/educator? (A man can teach you how to be HIS Earth according to his laws at home and follow his rules and regulations abroad; he cannot SHOW you how to be AN Earth regardless to whom or what. As they say, "actions speak louder than words", so only another woman can SHOW you through her WAYS and ACTIONS how to BE an Earth.)
Is your educator demanding that you read and learn about the history of the Nation of Gods and Earths, materials that teach you about being - and help you become - an educated and refined (with refined mentality, ways and actions, and physical appearance) Black WOMAN, does he explain what it means in tangible and applicable terms what it is to be a true and living God and Earth and what it means for YOU to be "Mother of CIVILIZATION", does he teach you about the duty of a civilized person (to teach others once you are QUALIFIED to do so), does he teach you that learning and refining is an INIFINITE process and to never limit whom or what you can learn from, is he teaching you the knowledge of God (how to be a and/or his Queen) AND knowledge of SELF (how to be an Earth)?
These questions are intended for YOU to answer for the sake of your own wellbeing and proper education. As I said above BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, YOU'LL BE ALL THE BETTER FOR IT!
