THE SPARK
Getting Knowledge of Self
Individually we each will have a different introduction to this cultural way of life. Some are born into it or are influenced by the principles and expressions. There's a draw to it; something that resonates with you. The moment when one has their own mind-blowing experience of realization of self in the journey called Knowledge of Self is referenced as the spark. It is a beautiful moment in self-awareness that should never be forgotten nor discounted. While it is a key moment in one's personal growth and developmment it is just the beginning. Research and study will be your greatest assets. Take nothing or no one on face value, everything must show and prove.
SELECTING A QUALIFIED
ENLIGHTENER/EDUCATOR
What qualifies an educator?
​
We each have the duty to educate and support others in their efforts or attempts towards being better. As it relates to the studying of 120 Lessons as a 5 Percenter in The Nation of Gods & Earths, how you get the lessons is very important. This relationship between educator and student is key from the perspective of honoring the traditional continuity of the culture. While it is not mandatory for one to know 120 Lessons completely to educate others; it is of a supreme benefit as you can only teach what you know. Another vital component in selecting and educator is their ability to share historical knowledge as well as the customs and practices of our nation. This decision should not be taken nor made light-heartedly.
The FAST & The Journey
Never make a rushed decision. It is taught that everything, especially important decisions such as taking on a new way of life, should be taken through Supreme Mathematics. After some personal experiences going to social gatherings or conversing with an active builder and some careful consideration; you'll choose an educator. Traditionally that person will guide you through a 3 day fast. During this time one should clear their mind and personal space of non-progressive thoughts. if eating righteously hasn't been a practice, here is where you begin learning a clean and refined dietary law. What you consume physically, visually, and mentally has a direct effect on your overall well being.
