I was just thinking about this

I been talking to lots of people about the bible & they can recite all most every line, that they believe proves some kind of point for their argument... but upon deeper examination I can see that they have no spiritual understanding of what the bible is saying...




I mean really think about it, next time someone is talking to you about the word… Listen to what they are saying & if it only has physical value & no spiritual understanding comes to you… then my friends think hard about what is really going on???



You would think that with all these self proclaimed teachers of the word, we would have all come to the understanding of word & the world would be at peace by now, but it’s not & why is that???



Most pastors, reverends, preachers, rabbi’s, monks, imams & priest have knowingly or unknowingly fallen under spell of the devil… don’t believe me, good; but next time your before them listen to what they are talking about… most preach to the dollar because the dollar is their god…



They preach of success, but what is success in the eyes of the LORD??? They preach worldliness, thing that have little to do with GOD, but they are quick to try an dress it up in the word… And as long as they dress it up for you & give you a good show, you never question them… You never read the word for GOD’s understanding to come to you; no you are happy jumping up & down on Sunday…





You never pray for GOD’s understanding so you are easily lead astray… It is past time for us believers to grow up… We need get to the place, you know the place where we believers are not prisoner to the whims of the advisory… A place where believers are not afraid of the forces of evil… The place where we meet the devil head on & take back our crown of glory…



Someone will read this & not understand, why I say such things??? For me it’s simple I want you to wake up to the games that the followers of lucifer are playing on you… They are baptizing you in the unholy & keeping you and your children in darkness…

In short I am saying the devil has made evil look good to you…



I read somewhere; that someone asked why don’t GOD just destroy the devil??? And the man that was asked this question, simply replied; if GOD were to the destroy the devil as you have stated, then HE would have to destroy HIS beloved creation as well(YOU)… So we have to be done with the devil before GOD can destroy him… Are you done???

To my people

My grandmother use to say to me these words when I was a young boy full of doubt and disbelief in GOD… I would always ask her why can’t I hear GOD; and she would say maybe GOD don’t speak English (lol) or maybe GOD can’t get a word in because you talk so much… Sometimes we need to be still and empty our mind to hear what’s truly happening in our life…




Today friends I want to say some words to my people; it’s not that all human beings aren’t my people, but as it stands the world still sees my skin color… With that say I begin… Dear brothers & sister the time has come for us to throw off the final shackles of oppression and those shackles are connected to our minds… For to long we have let the past rule our present and we continue to blame others for what we are now doing to ourselves… It is not our European brothers that hold us in this state of oppression; it is our lack of care for our people and our hatred of ourselves… Yes they did show us the way to the path of self destruction, but now it is us; we are all to willing to stay on that path even though we can clearly see it is killing us… We have lost all sense of what we are… We are now like actors on a stage we have be given a set group of lines and we stick to the script… We have been striped bare there is no sign of what we were before our brothers throw us in chains… Now I cry out to all the members of the African family the time is now, we must begin the hard work that is needed in order for us to survive… Our first steps is self evaluation today take a good look at you and think what can I do to be a better person today??? I know you will be tempted to look at your past deeds, but urge you to forgive yourself for all past deeds and never look upon them again… The past should only be used as a reference tool; we use it for the lessons then throw it away… Today is the only day that matters what you do today can help shape the world you live in tomorrow… The second step: give back all the tools of oppression begin to see them for what they are shackles chains and wall that separate you from the beauty that is inside all of GOD’s creatures… I know it is hard to give up abuse once you have been conditioned by it, but we can’t keep drinking poison no matter how little we drink over time it will kill us… I can’t tell every African what the poisons are because some of us have come under the influence of many different kinds of poison that’s why it is so important to look at ones self before taking up this fight for our humanity... We need to be ready!!! Before some crazy person gets the wrong idea let me say the fight I speak of is a fight that takes place inside all of us and only we have the power by the grace of GOD to battle our own inner demons… So my call is not a call to arms or a cry for war but it is a call never the less… A call for my people to fight for their humanity to take responsibility for the life that has been given to them… Step four: dare to dream that right dream of a world where you can see yourself and your people in a good light a place where you flourish and abide in peace… It may be hard to think of this because you have only known suffering, but I say to you that it is possible you know more about happiness than you are willing to concede… You have had many more days of joy than you think, all you did is, what most of us do; let the bad over shadow the good… But I tell you it’s ok to be happy because only a happy people can live in peace… I hope something I said has opened your minds to the possibilities that are out there for us as a nation of people also the hope for us as members of the human family… It can be done all African peoples can live as one so too can all peoples no matter what your race or color… With love and peace your brother Ridgley

High Expectations

Dear Friends



It’s me; once again I come to talk to you about something that I find very troubling in the world. First let me say I am just and ordinary man no better or no worst than any of you. With that said, this is not a judgment on anyone in particular just my observation on a few things. I have for a long time been watching and taking note of myself and my interaction with the people around me and the various relationships one can have, weather it be family friends or just someone you meet in passing. The relationships we have with one another can be an enhancement to our life; a sour of great joy or the leading factor for loads of misery. But what are these agreements really based on and what makes a relationship good or bad? Now there are probably many reasons why a relationship could go wrong but I believe one of main reasons relationships go bust, is we have a bad point of view going in to relationship or our expectations are misplaced.



How high are your expectations when it comes to your dealings with people? If you are any thing like me it is very easy to get carried away with what you think about a particular relationship especially when we find ourselves emotionally attached to someone. I guess we lose focus of the reality of the true nature of our relationships mainly because we become complacent with how things are going or lazy if things start off well. We never dive in deep we always try to make the safe play I guess out of fear of rejection but that only comes in to play if we like the person. If we don’t care much about the individual then we are quick to dive in to the deepest part of the waters. If that’s the case we do and say all manner of things and most of the time without justification. After all is said and done your investment in the relationship is what? I think you should find the answer to that before you begin a relationship.



We have invested nothing in the people yet our expectations are over whelming. An example would be our children. Most of us spend nearly no time with our children and the time we do spend gets wasted on to many instructions. Ok wait I’m not saying stop teaching your child that’s not it at all; I’m saying in addition to instruction do some listening to your child find out what they need from you and give them space to make their own mistakes because this is a part of the learning process as well. Your expectation for your child should based on your investment and there are a few questions you should ask yourself before letting them have a piece of your mind. One did I as a parent set up a clear avenue for my child to succeed? Two did I give a proper example of how an adult should govern themselves? Third do I invest in my child’s education; you know spend time helping with home work? Fourth did I support my child’s dreams? The last one is probably one off the most important things a human being can do for the world and that is to support a child’s dream. If you haven’t fully done these things how can you have any expectations I mean really think about that for a moment and I’m sure you will see the light.



Now let’s move on keeping in mind the things I have said about our children. These lessons are in most cases interchangeable, and the same question can apply to our other relationships. In all our relationship I think we can apply some of the same tactics, like listen and being more supportive of our family and friends. I also feel we over value words, sometimes saying nothing can be helpful so long as it is not a forced silence it may be better to keep quite and observe letting your friends or family have the freedom to be who they are, because only that type of insight can be helpful in building lasting harmony between people. If we let our fixation with our own thinking be the deciding factor there is a chance we will over look the truth of our relationships with a person or group creating unnecessary grief for one another. Life is a thing to be share with love and joy why else would we all be here together.



A relationship is community endeavor and should be undertaken as such it is not a thing to be taken lightly and sometimes the fait of world hangs in the balance. Sounds crazy right? I know but its true take a second to look at it. First start with what you can dismiss as a small type of relationship like two young adults in dating situation. They start out as friends meanwhile the community has no input no one give the young couple advice not mom or dad. So what happens? Some time later they begin having sex and never take to get to know anything about the person they are sleeping with. The relationship has sex as its only outlet and this is very dangerous. After a while they grow tired of one another but before they split up a baby is born. Now you have two people who know nothing about one another trying to raise a child. How often have you seen this or at least heard of something similar to this you may even be involved in something that sound a lot like this. I know some of you are saying what has that got to do with me? A lot but you do see it until the courts are over flowing with child support cases. That’s one only of the many problems associated with then kind relationship that was not support by the community but is later condemned by the same community. What gives us the right to expect anything from them when we done nothing to help set up for a successful and meaningful relationship.



Friends that’s just some of what I had on my mind. I hope my words help to save a relationship I hope they help the community but above all things I hope these words help us to look honestly at our expectations and help shape our observations. Then maybe we can begin to build better personal relationships that up lift our society and pushes human kind towards a day when the world and all who live in it can find joy and peace.



Thank you

My Response To An Atheist

This was my response to an atheist on youtube.com. This person had say to me that there was no GOD because of the bad thing that happen in the world; things like what is happening in Haiti. So this was my reply. What do you think?




I love you be blessed.

You are talking about religion, but I don't think you realize that; religion is only mint for the practitioner to be used as a tool to point towards the I am. The answers come from with in because we are already connected to the life source. Religion when used in its proper context is helpful for man/woman to uncover their connection to life source. Also my children understand that, when I say GOD; this is only an attempt to talk about the nameless, shapeless, formless entity that is the source of all life.



Seems like, you have a problem with religion so, go talk to the religious leaders take that drama to them. Ask them why they are teaching the religions out of context. I would like to know the answer to that myself. But I guess it’s easier for you cowards to talk shit to the little people or to talk shit about GOD, because you are afraid to stand up against men. Because you don’t know GOD, you live like a scared child looking for your father to fight your battles and when he says you can do it yourself you throw a temper tantrum. Then you start hating your father because he wants you to grow up. Men are causing most of the troubles in this world, so, babies fight them with the same energy you use to fight GOD. Then maybe this could be a better world. GOD helps those who help themselves lazy.



As for Haiti and all of human suffering; why is it that man expects that GOD will work out all of our troubles for us. Can we do nothing for ourselves? I mean, dam!!! GOD gave air, water, fire, earth and so much more. Are we still so helpless; must our father do everything for us, will we never grow up. If you watch your brothers and sisters die while you do nothing then shame on you. Why do you think we are here together so we can help one another right? So do something with the life GOD gave you don’t be a bitch!!!!

FIGHT AND GOD WILL BE THERE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Peace and Justice to you if you willing to fight for it. If not got dam’ it you don’t deserve it… (Fred Hampton)

The time has come

Dear Friends




Today friends I sit watching the documentary Keep Your Eyes On The Prize. I can’t help but think what has happened to the struggle for human equality in this country and the world at large. Upon thinking of this my mind turns to Haiti and how people from all over the world are now showing good will. But I can’t help but wonder what we as a human family could be capable of if we would act in places like Haiti before disaster strikes. Why can’t we stand for the weakest among us and protect those in need? Have the leaders of world turned a blind eye to what is painfully obvious to all of us living in this world. What must happen, before we all come to the table of humanity, and discuss what we can do to help bring about a time of peace in this world? Do we feel no shame; have we no since of responsibility for our world. The world that is shared collectively by us all; no matter race, creed, color, rich, poor, man or woman.

Friends I propose that we all take some time to reflect deeply on what we can do as individuals to make life better not only for our families and friends but for all our extended human family. After reflection we must act as one human family for the good of all human beings. We must begin to challenge the leaders of the world not only political leaders but leaders from every segment of society. The church must also face the voices of the people because for many years the church has misused religion to enslave the people, and this must end if we are to change the world for the better. Friends we must take our fight for equality to those who are in most cases directly responsible for the way things get done. For centuries these forces have been operating with impunity with out the slightest concern for what the people need or the consequences of their actions. Now comes the time when we the people must hold these people accountable for what they do when they do harm to our world.

My comrades if the leaders can not meet the needs of the people, then we have no choice but to expel them from the offices they hold in the society, and if need be we must be willing to raise up a new breed of leadership that is closely tied to the community. This new leader of the people must have a deep compassion for humanity and we must work to shield our leader from the ills of society and the harsh attacks sure to come when one fights for the liberation of all people. It may not seem like this can be done but, if we work with true intent then all is possible.

Brothers and sisters we are not children and we have the ability to shape the world as we see fit. Dominion over this world was given to all of us and it is our duty to live up to the challenge that was placed upon of so long ago. I am no great religious person but I have read this in the Holy Bible (Genesis 1:28) and I believe to be so. Some do don’t believe in GOD because of the tragedies of the world but for me this gives me more reason to be thankful to the Lord for His many mercies in trying times. Thankful for the spirit He has put in most of us in ungodly times. A spirit that causes ratchet men to turn from evil and go to the aid of widows and orphans and good men to lay down their lives freely for the well being of us all. For these small bits of hope I am eternally grateful to GOD.

I will leave you with these thoughts. How do you want to be remembered when your life on earth is over? Do you want your children and grandchildren to speak well of you? Also can you let this time pass doing nothing while life is happening all around? Do something with the time you have every little bit counts. Don’t worry about the scale or level of the work you are able to do, just keep working and soon you will be able to see the happening and hopefully the fruits of your labor will be a reward to everyone you contact. In that may you find peace and reason to keep working for the people?

There is a GOD in the land

Hi Friends






I have not talk to you guys, in a long time but there have been some tings on my mind, and I just didn’t know how to express them. Now I want to try and may GOD guide my words. See friends lately I have been thinking a lot about the world, and the state of humanity. I look out on the world, and I see that the adversary has workers on every post through out the earth. Meanwhile the workers of righteousness sit idle, while GOD’s people are being eaten up by the lies of the Dark Ones.

They have begun a powerful new massage and it is a very dangerous message. They are saying that there is no GOD!!! Also they are saying that there is no proof that GOD exist, even though the evidence is all around us. This message is powerful because no one has step up among the people to challenge this hypocrisy.

These liars live off what my GOD provides, and then say that, there is nothing there, no GOD. They say we are only imagining the existence of GOD, and we have no proof GOD exist. They claim evolution is their evidence yet in the evolutionary theory there is only theory no hard evidence. If man has evolved why are we not still evolving? Even though this is a reasonable question they still say Darwin’s theory gives us all the answers we need. Expect one! Where did the source of life come from and what power produced it and why? To this they have on answer.

I say to those hypocrites you do not know what produce the origins of life no more than you know the origins of the air in your lungs. When I say this to some of them, they begin explaining every little insignificant detail about how life works but, no answer to how it came to be this way. Just because you no how something works doesn’t mean you know how it came in to existence. I liken this type of attitude to an ungrateful child who says to their mother after birth. Mom you ain’t shit to me! But only mom knows who your daddy is and you are left to guess.

There are other things about this new movement that become very up setting to me, when I looked at how they are using the bible and other books of spiritual insight, out of context to lead people astray. Making statements like the human errors in these books, are proof that GOD does not exist. What!!! This is totally ridiculous. I guess they could be right if not for one thing. These books are in existence for the spirit of man/woman and they are created more for that purpose than any other reason. So unless you read these books from this point of view you do not understand shit.

Good people the time has come for those of us who know to speak up to say something about the condition of our world. We must show the backsliders that there is a GOD in the land. Who will be our David? Who will run out to meet the philistines at the gate? Who will stand for the innocent widows and orphans? If not you and I who will do this, who will undertake such a task? My brothers and sisters the time has come the day grows old. We must begin to read the book’s of spiritual insight then act on what we know to be right. I truly feel that this a battle we can’t walk away from we must stand up now.

The Dark ones have their agents out there in the form of Pimp, Hustler, Banker, Entertainer, Preacher, Pope, Social worker, Police officer and more. So we must prepare to go to the places they go. To stand for justice and truth where there is none and be advocates of decency. In the Holy Bible Matt 10:9-20 Yeshua (Jesus) said to his disciples go out. In this chapter of the Bible Yeshua (Jesus) give us clear instructions. He also gave us a clear understanding of what we may encounter. So go out to meet the philistines with your slingshot in hand, and go out we must; for the war of good and evil is being waged every moment. Let us make the way of the LORD straight.

If you have life in you friends spend it doing good things Use the time you GOD gives you through grace to live in accordance with what we know to be right. Do not sit idle waiting for GOD for the LORD has placed a charge on your life and we must act. All that we need GOD has given us, so now we must work for a worker is worthy of his food. We were not created to be slave of this world no; we were created for a finer more divine purpose. We are the servants of the most high GOD and he gave us dominion over all the earth. So be bold and courageous in these most trying time that the servants of darkness might know that we the children of GOD are able and ready.
