"How You continue to behave, act, and see Yourself, will stimulate a direct response that You will receive from another person. You are a free human being, and will always be, unless You consider Yourself to be a slave in any area of Your life. Freedom must be considered and seen as a Choice, as slavery of any kind is seen as bondage. Your liberty and freedom is dependent on Your state of inner, mental, and spiritual consciousness. Past slavery of any kind is being shared with a Now generation, who has no knowledge of its' ever existence, other than that which is printed in our history books, taught in our educational curriculums, or lectured by our historians, as an era of the past. We cannot continue to stimulate negative spiritual awareness and consciousness, in such a fashion that it resurrects hatred and segregation in the generations of Today. As a black man, with many of my best friends, who I consider like brothers and sisters, being from other races, I do not wish to be reminded of the brutality of slavery in such a way, that it would want to ignite and fuel my inner being, into stimulating and rebuilding a state of hatred and segregation that is unnecessary. Emancipation, as is defined in the dictionary, means, "Liberation, or the fact or process of being set free from legal, social, or political restrictions, freedom from bondage, or to be free from any controlling influence etc". The truth is that Emancipation, is a freedom of human nature, that happens in many different ways, away from parents, racial and religious discrimination, or political regime control, where there is non-existence of democracy. But the greatest Emancipation that one will ever experience, is the Emancipation from slavery in the mind and spirit, no matter Your race or ethnic background . The mind and spiritual consciousness is where the Emancipation all begins, and where it all has to end. True Emancipation will evolve and become stronger, as we continue to love our brother, our sister, and the whole of mankind, as JESUS CHRIST Himself continues to Love us All continually. "Let us together keep our Focus on Emancipation of all kinds, and not only dwell on the horrors, pain, sufferings, and bondages of the past".
