Day Two of Kwanzaa – Perspective on Self-Determination (courtesy of Calvin Harris, H.W., M.)

Kwanzaa, a secular festival observed by many African Americans from December 26 to January 1 as a celebration of their cultural heritage and traditional values.

A Celebration of Family, Community and the Common Good Implied and embedded in the principle self-determination is the notion of respect which a people have for its culture and historical and current contribution to the world. At the family level, this translates into the art, music, and literature which is possessed or a part of the home. It obligates us as caregivers and mentors in teaching a History (emphasizing at this occasion of the year the African Americans) but to more clearly define that they have made a special and enduring contribution to the world as Americans in the American experience which is worthy of praise and honor. We must recognize that we are all the custodians as well as the heirs of a great civilization. We have given something to the world as a mixed culture and for this, we are proud and fully conscious of our place in the total picture of mankind’s development.”

Sunday Night Translation Group – December 25

Translation is a 5-step process using syllogistic reasoning to transform apparent man and the universe back into its essential whole, complete and perfect nature.  Through the process of Translation, reality is uncovered and thus revealed. Through word tracking, getting to the essence of the words we use to express our current view of reality, we are uncovering the one true reality.

Sense testimony:

Internal bleeding can lead to feeling of helplessness and anger and (emotional) cramps, especially during Christmas.

Conclusions:

  1.  Mind stands alone without assistance or obstruction, or loss. It is inconstrictable joy, common to all, in communion with all.
  2. The Truth is Master, Clan of Universal Integrity, Valuing Powering Knowing only and Everywhere Sound Harmonious Beauty Now and Always. Sound Harmonious Beautiful Value is the Ever-present Truth.
  3. To come (see Comments).

“Merry Maywishes” by Hugh Malanaphy (2003)

May you and those you love
share health peace
and inner gratitude
magnified a thousand times
by the brevity of this day.

May you discover
the ultimate power
of the unknown
the way it amends
our most careful intent
with an illuminating intervention.

May you feel truly
in your soul’s core
a native born
citizen of the Universe,
with all rights and benefits
guaranteed,
and capitalize on them
every chance you get.

May your loved ones
here, gone, and coming,
with all their being,
nourish you this day,
living clearly
in the orbit of your love.

–Hugh J. Malanaphy
