What is Identity, and am not referring to the English language meaning here, I want comrades to relate because we have been conditioned by identity with what enslaves us rather than liberating us, your identity must liberate you, your identity should connect you with your ancestral domain, if we take this seriously, and learn about identity, we shall solve all our challenges from the root cause rather than from symptoms..
Ask yourself, is your identity & Intellect working for you or against you?
Some friend asked me about knowing more about Identity & Intellect Let’s observe today how these two affects our lives, we have a duty to discover ourselves or we shall live a meaningless life where we are conditioned to be slaves to many worldly belief systems… observe it in yourself…
Your mind is an instrument designed to improve with constant training, your mind is an accumulation of information from childhood up to today through different systems like schools, society, culture, parents, media, and many others, I compare the mind to be like a hoe, any farmer will tell you that when they are not using the hoe (mind) they put it to rest and only hold that hoe when they have a task for it to perform, which is the same as our mind, so only engage your mind when you need to use it, and leave it to rest once the task is complete, but our challenge today is we keep our mind engaged throughout day and night, the mind never rests, it keeps replaying thought processes of our past memories and thus we are unhappy and stressed throughout day & night, so all your past memories builds up your mind’s contents, which is your intellect, your intellect is your mind power, our number one challenge today is to think that we’re our own intellect, that we are our own mind, which is wrong, you’re not your own mind, you’re totally different from your mind, your mind belongs to you but you don’t belong to your mind, the hoe belongs to the farmer but the farmer doesn’t belong to the hoe, you’re bigger than your mind, and you’re free to reprogram your mind with any information or belief system that works for you & you want to become your life, your intellect is like a knife, it can dissect anything you give it, once you arm your identity with a given intellect, then your intellect shall have to dissect it immediately without fail, the more educated a person is, the sharper the intellect, and these so educated intellectuals have divided the world into so many parts, that any further dissection shall inevitably lead to war, intellectuals have divided man from woman, just by coming up with a belief system which conditions the mind to the extent that some men and women never reproduce to further their genetic lineage in the name of religions, but before I go any further, let me talk about identity…
As humans, we have been conditioned with specific identities, depending on which continent you’re born, you shall be identified by culture, nationality, religion, and many other belief systems, an African speaks different from Arabs, they have different cultures and are both eager to defend their identities just like any western Continents like Americans, British, Brazilians, I mean, we all have acquired specific identities from our cultures, the big challenge comes when you let your identity influence your thought processes, I mean your mind controls your actions, to the extent that you can die or kill another human being because of nationality or a piece of flag with all its belief systems, I refer to their constitutions, nations go to war, fight and kill just because of nationality or seeking security in a piece of paper, which is not true in reality, observe it yourself, can you fight for your nation against another nation? then you’re caught within your own identity, once your identity is armed with your intellect and then it meets with that of other people different from your identity, then expect contradiction, which leads to conflict that ends up into a war, do you see the results where our misguided identities armed with our conditioned intellect destroys us, take for example, your child, when you arm your child with a knife(i mean intellect)
It may end up dissecting anything around, including cutting itself, because intellect is for dissection, then think of the child’s hand as an identity, the more firm the hand or identity, the easier the dissection, a firm hand with a sharp intellect will dissect anything, it can lead to human destruction or preservation, we have dictators in the world whose intellect is highly conditioned by a specific identity, which leads to killing of all those humans who are not identified with what the dictatorial regimes believe in, we have to understand more about our identity and Intellect so as to create a better society for all humans
