View all articles by Sam Abbd IsraelIn Parts I to VI of this discourse, we have briefly mentioned the method and the manner by which the pretenders to the leadership positions of our world came by their powers. We carefully demonstrated that without a good dose of ignorance and of hate and wickedness in the hearts of all lovers of power no earthling could have waged wars of attrition on truth and on the lovers of truth and peace as the power grabbers of our world had done. We have also seen that the reigning descendants who inherited the booty and loot of war from their wickedly industrious and ruthlessly enterprising ancestors have shown no concern or remorse about the atrocities recorded against the names of their ancestors.
Now, we observe that these spoiled brats feel very comfortable as they continue to paint the town red in their inherited stolen properties, wealth, honour and fame. We notice their arrogance and their ill manners even to their elders and their better off whom they spitefully call the downtrodden of the world. We also observe their total lack of knowledge about the history of their fudged inheritances. Unfortunately, ignorance is not an excuse under the natural law of justice. This new class of elites of Africa are wrong if they try to claim innocence concerning the acts of brigandage committed by their ancestors. In as much as they refused to denounce and to reject the unearned privileges and unjust rights passed down to them, they have wittingly put signatures of approval on the misdeeds of their heartless and stupid ancestors.
Fortunately, like a popular adage says, no matter how horrible the weather is, there is always a silver lining in the cloud. The group of Africans occupying and fouling the seats of civic, economic and political powers all over Africa have succeeded in stimulating deep reflection among enlightened souls of Africa. This writer, like many other Africans with commonsense, has been forced to ponder on the circumstances of Africa. Without living through this sad experience, I believe, I would not have seen the need to set out on a trail that desires to seek answers to the many questions that pertain to the truth of life. Personally, the Dishonourable Africans did me a favour. Their observable perversions helped me onto the path of a seeker of the truth of life; and seeing at close contact their spiritual decadence, the challenge to discover the divine light of a more truthful and more edifying meaning of life became imperative.
All along and while living in Africa, this writer was aware that there was strong reluctance in my soul that intuitively refused to embrace the reality under which I was born and bred. In as much as I tried to be a part of the madness in Africa, an instinctive resistance denied me a free passage into the 'civilized society' of Africa. I am sure my experience is not unique. The realisation that I am not alone is the salient reason that dictated the need to write this essay. It is my desire to reach out to other potential redeemed souls who are facing similar problem of self-denial into their perverted societies.
This essay is therefore, genuinely aimed at helping this group of spiritually worried Africans to rediscover who they are. The true leaders as mentioned by the ancient Sages are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. As light, the true leaders are the revealers of fundamental truth of life; they are the medium of enlightenment to the weary world; they are the teachers of the poor in spirit; and they are the healers of the spiritually blind, deaf and dumb and the comforter of the broken-hearted. In addition, as salt of the earth, they are catalysts that hasten positive change in societies and nations and the true spice of life to the listening members of their generation. Just as we used salt sparingly to improve the flavour of food, so also heaven creates true leaders in small numbers to enliven the life of their contemporaries.
In real life, leaders of household, community and nation are on the average less than five percent of the population. In this sense, if we check through social organisations and political institutions of every country we shall likely and safely discover that only about 5% of the elites across the board are true leaders. This could translate to mean that only 5% of the members of parliament; 5% of the cabinet ministers; 5% of teachers; 5% of civil servants; 5% of scientists; 5% of industrialists and manufacturers; 5% of Christians; 5% of Muslims, etc. are true leaders. In arithmetic proportion or in statistical aggregates it means that about 95% of the population of African so-called elites are pretenders and therefore pathetic liars.
Naturally, the principle of duality of life is a proven commonsense phenomenon. All creations in life tend to appear in pairs - positive and negative; male and female; good and bad; black and white; short and tall; light and dark, day and night etc. Nature does not seem to function or act in singles. Nature loves to be in partnership with its opposite counterpart. Therefore, it is unlikely that the good can exist without the bad just as the male in creations cannot exist or continue to exist eternally without the female. The important inference we can make from the history of the evil leaders of our world is that the good leaders of the world, who were supposed to be the counterpart and check and balance against the innate atrocities of the bad people, were marginalized and violently suppressed since the historical time when bad people captured political powers on earth. Again, like there are seasons in weather, it may also mean that the period of life that is about to pass away is the allotted season for the bad people. Moreover, since nature programmed darkness to disappear when sunshine appeared in the horizon, similarly we must accept that the bad people must disappear into the oblivion as soon as the good people begin to wake up from their age-long slumber.
This may sound fanciful but sincerely I hope the message of this essay shall serve as the alarm bell that the good people have long been waiting for to arise from their age-long life of rest, apathy, pacifism, and consensus with evil. This writer believes that the battle for good life for all on ea
I believe the true leaders are here and they will soon take their places to begin the sacred work of demolition, reconciliation and reconstruction in Africa. Every crooked value, idea, philosophy, structure, institution, and person must go. There shall be great demolition work in the length and breadth of Africa. The spirit of truth shall heal Africans from their foolishness and fears and shall reconcile us with the author of life - the creator of heaven and earth. After the heavenly controlled ruin, destruction, demolition, reconciliation and reconstruction a new Africa shall emerge to serve the genuine physical and spiritual needs of the truly redeemed souls. Dear reader and seeker, you need to believe this insight because it is a practical fact that 'you cannot make an omelette without breaking an egg'.
Is this writer talking, thinking, promoting or supporting violence? Not at all, true leaders can never be friends to violence. True leaders are peaceful and peace loving people. They can never be associated with physical arms or other kinds of weaponry. They have weapons quite all right, but these are spiritual weapons. The weapons they will adopt for the spiritual operation of cleansing Africa shall be nothing more than the power of love, truth and knowledge. Again you had better believe it since an adage says, 'pen is mightier than sword'. It must logically follow that truth must be mightier than lies just as love must be mightier than hate. In the same breath, knowledge must be mightier than ignorance. This writer is talking about the coming revolution on planet earth and it is starting with you and me. It is an intellectual, spiritual and social revolution against archaic values, slavish beliefs, non-edifying ideas, retrogressive attitudes, thoughts, and behaviours or ways of life.
Our values and beliefs are the invisible psychological soft wares that have the capacity to influence the direction and the limit of the intellectual, cultural and social development of a people or race. Therefore, it will follow naturally that obnoxious values cannot produce anything else but decadence. Consequently, a society that takes its operating values from a belief in the philosophy of 'might is right' cannot go beyond the ethos of war, self-defence, ruthless competition, narrow national interests, prejudice and xenophobia. Whereas a society cultivated on operating values derived from the dictum that says, 'love your neighbour as yourself' cannot do otherwise than to bear the fruits of love, peace, charitable cooperation, friendship, tolerance and enlightened global interests.
I hope I have not worn you out with my personal sentiments. I feel there is a need for a bit of explanation here in order to make the thrusts of this essay clearer and more understandable. As I said earlier, this work is about healing and not the promotion of myopic intellectualism, as such. Intellectual endeavour without a strong purpose towards the cultivation of spiritual development of the student is a wasteful exercise. Intellectual development that failed to lead to spiritual enlightenment and rebirth of a person is the type that breeds narrow-mindedness, prejudice, bigotry, intolerance, arrogance, fanaticism, fundamentalism, superiority complex and snobbishness. There is no doubt in my mind that an educated snob must be a first class spiritual illiterate. The type of education that swells up the ego, that does not conquer evil in a person or free a person from pride, or fails to turn a person onto the path of virtue and self-restraint is a counterfeit education designed to corrupt the soul. Unfortunately, the Dishonourable Africans seem to fall squarely among the group of Homo sapiens who are groping in darkness under the influence of a counterfeit education.
For the awakened Africans who have judiciously used the Internet profitably well in their search for the truth of existence, there is no need to convince you that there are many soldiers of darkness in the world working hard to keep humanity in darkness. The several mind boggling revelations on the atrocities of the Dishonourable Eminent Leaders of our world are baffling and incomprehensible. Yet, with a critical study of the political, economic and social structures of the world, these diabolical revelations are true. It seems the cardinal objective of the dishonourable persons across the globe is a desire to maintain the status quo of power relations forever; and to foreclose, as they nip in the bud, any move to highlight the debilitating effect of the present global power structures. The prevailing practice of counterfeiting education in every country, we now understand through the 'constitution of the New World Order', is not an accident but a pragmatic, ruthless determination to keep the world in perpetual darkness. By instituting popular programmes of base entertainment and hedonism across the globe, they have ensured that a popular culture of ignorance is rigidly and wickedly established among the larger population.
Therefore, to treat the perversion of the Dishonourable Africans in isolation of their international counterparts is to lose sight of the lesson of history. In all fairness, the international Dishonourable Eminent Personalities are the ones that installed the local Dishonourable Africans as leaders of their countries. The Dishonourable Africans are mere tools in the hands of the global lords and barons that command the global wealth and they have a fanatical believe that the planet earth is their oyster for milking and sucking to their hearts' desire. The international Dishonourable Eminent Personalities still see and treat Africa as a backwater where they keep their sheep or slaves under local herdsmen alias the Dishonourable Africans. We have shown in this discourse that the concern of Dishonourable Africans since the time of their ancestors have never been to serve the interest of fellow Africans but that of their international masters. The cash nexus and other hidden bonds that tie the two sets of hoodlum together are too complex and almost inscrutable to untrained eyes. It is for this reason that most Africans can only see the glitters of the western world without seeing its sordid connection with the woes and wretchedness in Africa. Where then is this discourse leading?
