The Third Eye of a Butterfly

$11.99

Excerpt from The Introduction

The equation of life was originally meant to be: One Spirituality + All Races of People = UNITY. But unfortunately, that equation has been null and void leaving us with the following: Black ÷ White ÷ Jewish ÷ Meshiakim ÷ Catholic ÷ Khamitik ÷ Muslim ÷ Buddhism ÷ Hindu ÷ Protestant ÷ Baptist ÷ Pentecostal ÷ Methodist ÷ Anglo-Saxon ÷ Jehovah's Witness ÷ Israelite ÷ Episcopalian ÷ Yoruba ÷ Islamic ÷ Seventh Day Adventist ÷ Mormons ÷ Santeria ÷ Agnostic ÷ Atheist = SPIRITUAL AND RACIAL SEPARATISM.

Spiritual and racial separatism has plagued the world for many centuries. Spirituality has been the foundation of life from the beginning. Man, however, through manipulation, greed and hatred developed ways to ablate the order set forth by The Creator by instituting religious systems that failed to promote universal harmony. When The Creator allowed man free will he did not intend for him to abuse it to contribute to such degenerate behavior as slavery, genocide, adultery, and destruction of the universal code which guides the spirit, self respect. The Creator desired that all of His/Her children would co-exist in one spirit. The Creator intended people of different races to live unified as colors of a rainbow none overpowering the other. The deepest purpose, however, has yet to come because the majority of the world nullifies this belief.

Unfortunately, although I don't believe in separatism I don't believe a complete sense of spiritual and racial unity will ever be executed because man's compulsion with power through the subterfuge of hate is growing steadfast. Furthermore, I have come to realize that a prejudice spirit doesn't dwell in everyone and I certainly don't judge anyone by the color of their skin, but I also know in my heart of hearts that the color of my Black skin is still an issue in many venues. Through knowledge, experience and empathy, I have been moved to write evolutionary poetry to inform my people of the present day oppression that continues to perpetuate anguish against Blacks and Latinos through tainted racial deception. My poetry aspires to give birth to spiritual and lineal awareness and convey other significant aspects about everyday life. My poetry does not promote religious and racial separatism, but instead reveals the source of its mendacity and retaliates against it. It explores spiritual awareness, revolution, love and all issues facing the world. I truly believe that if we all listened to The Creator's voice in our spirits and opened our Third Eye, we would realize that the Divine intention is for people of all races to respect each other's nation and live in fellowship across the world in His/Her name. –Chuma
