Book Details
Black God- The panacea to the Black man's plight
"Man Know Thyself."
Did you know that the Gods and Goddesses of ancient Ethiopia, Egypt, "Middle East," India, and Asia were Black?
What is God? What color is God? What is the substance of God? Does it matter what color God is? Are the images, and symbols of a White God death to us?
What is the Self? What does Self and God share in common? How is God, Self, and Ancestors related?
To know the Self involves knowing God. We must obtain knowledge of Self. The Self is the life force, and it is not an isolated event captured within an impenetrable physical body. The Self is rather, an extensive spiritual entity that permeates each of us, and back to our first ancestors. The circle of Self that unites us with one another; to our ancestors, and God has been disconnected. consequently, we have become estranged from our essence (God). We must find continuity again.
The information and suggestions in this book are intended to motivate and point out one of the roads Black people can travel towards becoming what God intended them to be; that is, unique and personal manifestations of God in this splintered and oppressive world.
