THIS IS THE GREATEST DIVINE INSPIRED WORK I HAVE EVER DONE, IT LASTED FOR THREE DECADES
THE PRINCIPLES OF KENEZIANISM
a.k.a.
INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT
General Introduction
The theory and practice of Kenezianism
started in 1970, at the end of the civil war when its originator Major
Kenechukwu Nzeogwu Mbaezue; BA/6532,
of the Degema Strike Force, 12th Commando Brigade, Biafra, returned from the
war front with multiple injuries and artillery shock! He felt shattered by the
outcome of the fratricidal debacle of three years that abruptly postponed his
post-secondary education at C.K.C. Onitsha.

“Why
did we lose the war of survival? Should Nigeria Mecca
Finding answers to these existential
questions drove the young war veteran crazy. He could not comprehend how an
unjust war ended in favour of the aggressors. For him it meant that we wasted
all our time and youthfulness in the war fronts praying to the God of
Christians! He truly deserved veritable explanations! He withdrew from all
religious engagement for a period of ten consecutive years, from 1970 to 1980.
That gave him enough time to reflect on some existential questions about all he
had learnt from the Christian missionaries that moulded his early life in the
junior and senior seminaries.
FAMINE IN BIAFRA
During the Nigerian civil war of 1967
to 1970, the Nigerian government imposed blockades around Biafra ,
effectively cutting off the secessionist state’s food supply. The resulting
famine in Biafra was devastating, as upwards
of one million people died of starvation. The swollen bellies and ankles of
these Biafran children are symptoms of kwashiorkor, an extreme form of
protein-energy malnutrition.

There arose the need for him to
re-evaluate his belief system, moderate his scrupulous orientation to social
life and thereafter, formulate a realistic code of conduct that could guarantee
his survival in the conflicting world of the Nigerian society he found himself
trapped in! He lived as a war captive for the next 30 years! Within this
period, he fully practised the introverted meditative lifestyle of Viktor
Frankl or that detached life of a research scientist reminiscent of the great
Austrian monk geneticist, MacGregor Mendel.
He earned four university degrees that
spanned a period of 15 years, with breaks here and there to assist his eight
younger brothers and sisters, siblings of the same humble family of a school
teacher/catechist! To achieve this, he again joined the armed forces of the
nation he lived as an exile, the fallout of which was that he neatly sandwiched
a military diploma, pjsc, from the Nigerian Air Force in between the four degrees!
A bachelor’s degree in Philosophy,
sponsored by the Catholic missionaries in1970, then another bachelor’s degree
in Psychology, self-sponsored and partly aided by a Federal Government Loans
Bursary award in 1975. This loan was later paid in full after his NYSC, which
he served at the Department of Psychiatry, University College Hospital, Ibadan
and Lambo’s Aro-Village System, Abeokuta from 1975- 1976! This was followed by
the three-year stint as an Air Force Medical Officer, NAF 759. Upon winning the Anambra State Ph.D. Scholarship Award in
1977 he resigned in 1979 and later earned a Masters in Clinical Psychology,
from the School
of Medicine University of Benin African
College
For the next phase of his
research/academic life he combined family roles and clinical duties, churning
out psychological tests for guidance/career counselling, personality evaluation
and marriage/family counselling. In the interim he got married and to date has
two boys and a girl, who became the well-deserved consolation for his long
years of ambivalence! Today he is a retired Flight Lieutenant in private
clinical practice as a HUMANISTIC-EXISTENTIAL
PSYCHOTHERAPIST. He still does extensive research in Family Counselling,
Existential Family Therapy and Community Medicine. His published psychological
tests and books exceed fifteen, as at the last count. He is a respected
authority in Psychometrics, a Member of the National Association of Clinical
Psychologists and the Founder/Animator of three world-wide NGOs;
i. KENEZ HEALTH KLINIK, an
Interdisciplinary Therapeutic Organisation for Family Health,
ii. HAPPY FAMILY NETWORK an Inter-ethnic CBO for grooming healthy
& successful families,
iii. INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT, a
Spiritual Fellowship for Modern Scientists!
The greatest contribution he has made
so far seems to be in the area of family counselling and existential therapy
where he has developed, constructed, validated and standardised more than
thirteen psychological tests for school career guidance, pre-marital
counselling and crises intervention in families that need help! In addition, he
has written nine books covering such areas of knowledge as: social ethics,
theosophy, cosmology, social and community medicine. The manuscripts of these
inspirational works are, in the real sense of the phrase, begging for funds
to print them. Can anyone publish these books so that others may benefit
from the information stashed away in them? His religious involvement in early
life became an asset as this book in moral ethics has turned out to be the best
outcome of his contemplative lifestyle. Below are some of the verses he wrote
that kept him mentally alive and hopeful that his children would have a better
future! You may benefit from reading and practising some of them in your daily
living! There are existential truths rather than theological jargons!
Establishment of Universal Truths and control of one’s tongue and selfless service summarises ISM.
THESE ARE THE KENEZIAN FOUNDATION
STONES OF
INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT (I. S. M.)
If anyone does not control his sensual
desires and tongue, his religion is worthless and he deceives himself. What the
Creator and Father of all living beings put on planet earth considers to be
pure and genuine religion is this: being truthful in every thing ones does by
worshipping him in spirit; being pure in thoughts, word and deeds, taking care
of suffering orphans and widows while keeping oneself from being corrupted by
the world. The essence of Kenezianism, a.k.a. ISM , is graciously encapsulated
in its eternal motto: ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE and therefore
ONE HUMAN FAMILY, who are equal beneficiaries and heirs to his omnipresent
graces, his omniscient benefits and omnipotent protection!
CHAPTER 1:
AN OVERVIEW
i.
Oh! Mortal man, why do you pride
yourself with such titles as “ Homo sapiens”, “His or Her Excellency”, “His
Lordship or His Grace”, His Royal Highness” and finally the “Lord of the
Material Universe”, when you can never hear better than a common bat, nor see
better than the eagle?
ii.
What
achievement has any man made that is not built on what has already been
provided by Nature? Just name one. Is it not enough to humble us down to our
knees in respect to whatever put us here on planet earth?
iii.
What
is it that took care of our forefathers and ensured that they survived to rear
us the best they could? Who protected us in our mothers’ wombs and those deadly
infant diseases that some of our peers so that we survived to flaunt our high
resounding titles.
iv.
Now
let us all bow our heads. Be silent for a while and listen to Nature
communicate wisdom in its simplest forms. When you hear the cock that crows at
night, starting from about 3.00am
till it is 6.00 a .m.
v.
It
does it regularly and has been doing so before you, oh little creature copied
him to make your wristwatches in an attempt to supplant him, but you have
failed. The cock is more precise than the best chronometer you ever invented or
will soon manufacture! For one thing, it does not need a battery to operate nor
does it need servicing!
vi.
So
man, learn to imitate the birds that wake each morning chirping their morning
prayers of thanks, while pleading to the Lord for their daily bread.
vii.
What of trees that daily release oxygen for
your use? Have you ever gone to the gas station to purchase human fuel, either
air or water? How much air and water do you use each hour of your life? Who
provides and purifies them?
viii.
Did
you thank the Creator of this universe for these two items only? When will you
do so? Do it now! Stop at this page, kneel down and reverence whatever put you
here on planet Earth
ix.
From
today when the birds start their own morning hymns, oh you little man, join
them. That is why He feeds them on a daily basis, but you have to struggle and
suffer or steal to have food on an irregular basis besides our human greed that
makes it difficult for his fellow men to even have a little!
x.
Whatever
or whoever created us all must have put some laws to govern whatever breathes
his air and drinks his water, for there are accidents and suffocation when
these elementary functions are performed inappropriately.
xi.
We
must eat to live, drink to survive, sleep to rest and procreate to save out
species from extinction. Each of these functions we perform from generation to
generation, educated or not, civilised or not pious or crooked! It wonderful
isn’t it.
xii.
Order and grace, beauty and serenity
adorn His creations wherever you find them in their natural habitats unperturbed
by the most destructive animal; man! So let us relent!
xiii.
The voice of
wisdom speaks in all His creations but only the wise can hear them! Can you
interpret the language of honeybees or bring fellow men to march in formation
like the soldier ants without coercion and spending some funds on training
programmes, which the ants never do even at birth!
xiv.
These
and similar precision occurrences like sunrise and sunset should make more
pious and respectful but what do we find? Arrogance and buffoonery intoxicates
most of us.
xv.
The
wisdom of the Creator shines forth everyday like the sunlight, but we prefer to
walk around like blind men vaunting our ignorance of His natural laws that
govern our very existence.
xvi.
So
how do you assist a blind that does not see properly but claims that he is okay
and is not in need of your help, as he will never accept that he does not know
everything!
xvii. That is the problem with our human race. Other animals
are ready to learn from their parents and obey them diligently, only man claims
to know when he does not! When shall ever learn as other baby animals learn?
xviii.
The time is now, not tomorrow, not next
month, not next year but this very moment. How does one do exactly that, you
may ask?
xix.
Don’t ask me, Kenez, rather ask King
Solomon, the Wise! Go and read and memorise 1st Kings, Chapter 3,
verses 6-15. Or for an elaborate treatise, find the complete bible edition and
read chapter 9 verses 1- 18 of the WISDOM OF SOLOMON.
Always
use the Good News Bible Edition for all references!
CHAPTER 2:
PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM NATURE
i.
Open your eyes and look at newborn babies. Study them for
a whole week. Who taught them to cry? Why do they cry? Watch them during
breastfeeding. Who taught them to suck properly? Did you, or did their mothers
teach them? Answer me, Oh man!
ii.
Look at babies
everywhere, you were once like that, so learn to be humble and thank your
father and mother if they are still alive! You were a helpless animal that a
cat or a dog could have eaten raw, were it not for their paternal and maternal
care!
iii.
There from, O
arrogant creature learn the virtue of gratitude, it does not hurt you nor will
it cost you anything more than to always say a loud “Thank You” all the rest of
your short span of existence on this planet
iv.
Carry a baby and
note that it looks you straight in the eyes and either smiles or begins to cry.
If the latter, be sure you are a bad person or you looked aggressive. Babies
are the best judges of character! So, learn to drop your worries and frowns
when you approach others in life.
v.
Everyone else you meet has personal problems but they do
not advertise them all the time, so why that scowl on your face? Smile at
difficulties and so learn forbearance, tolerance and equanimity! There are
virtues that you will need all the time!
vi.
Babies have weight as you must have noticed, and this
increases as they feed well and grow. What makes them grow? How do they learn
to sit, crawl, stand, and then walk? Answer me, oh Homo sapiens! Lord of the
material universe!
vii.
Why does an object fall to the ground? Even when you
throw objects far into the air, they return to the earth on which you stand.
You may simply answer that it is because of the force of gravity, as you must
have learnt by rote memory far back in elementary school.
viii. But that
answer was not so easy for the first men and women on earth! Prehistoric men
once worshiped that magnetic phenomenon. So learn to investigate nature,
discover new facts and share your knowledge with others. It is a fundamental
lesson of life!
ix.
The ground you stand on carries your weight, no matter
how large and heavy you think you are! All those heavyweight wrestlers you
watch on television all walk on the same ground. Those heavy trucks that
compete with trains in carrying loads are also resting on the same ground! It
carries all of us besides all the tall buildings man has constructed everywhere
in the world. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the earth for once
refused to carry our weight?
x.
We bury dead men and animals in the ground to avoid their
stench and the epidemics they could cause! Yet has it at any time rejected to
accept more corpses? Why? Answer me,
the self-styled “Man, the summit of creation”
xi.
It is no use answering titles one cannot defend, nor
lumber around under the euphoria of crammed information gathered from books and
school curricula. Put on your thinking cap and attempt an answer.
xii.
The wisdom of the Almighty Creator fashioned all those
macrocosms and microcosms and assigned them eternal duties which they
religiously obey at all times, come rain, come sunshine! So have you found out
yours? If not, when will you begin? Start now. It is yet early morning on
creation day for you! Make an honest inquiry. Imitate them. Therefore in life
don’t expect a “thank you” for doing your duties!
xiii. Those
macrocosms that serve your purposes; the sun, the moon, water, air and the
ground never demanded any from you! They all co-operate to grow the crops from
which we prepare the meals at our dinner tables daily! Or are you the one who
produces the grains, tubers, roots and fruits that wild animals, birds and
humans consume?
xiv. I have not
forgotten that the breast milk is by far better than any infant formula that
any scientist can ever produce! The same goes for the natural and clean water
collected during a heavy rainfall. Its purer, as it contains all the minerals
the animal body needs, both wild and domesticated, including man himself!
xv. When last
did you eat an egg laid by a non-poultry-raised hen, for example a guinea fowl?
Or to make it simpler, taste a sample of wild eggs and that of poultry eggs,
and you will be amazed that despite all the veterinary care and husbandry of
agricultural farmers, the wild eggs taste not only better but also contain more
concentrates of the nutrients that build the body! Ask any qualified scientist
in that field!
xvi. Who ensures
all these? Can any created being human or non-humans perform these feats? If your answer is positive please tell us
where you got your materials! If
negative, then bow down and worship Nature or whoever produces them for our
enjoyment!
xvii. The focus is
still on babyhood. You have many more lessons to learn from infants! Do you
remember who carried you about when you were small? Ask your parents. Find him
or her and please give a big hug or a large gift in appreciation!
xviii. Your weight
alone must have deformed the natural structure of your babysitter's figure. The
spinal column, the backbones or the waist of such a one must have altered its
structure, no matter how infinitesimal! Ask physiotherapists. You caused that;
and therefore you owe an apology or a “thank you”! Which do you prefer?
xix. All go to
show the interdependence of created beings. House helps; stewards, cooks, maids
and servants must be valued and appreciated! We need each other to grow, mature
and enjoy life to the fullest. The name of the game of life is; “you rub my backside and I rub yours!”
xx. The
innocence of nudity is the most important lesson the baby teaches. Why do we
need clothes if not to cover our guilt and the embarrassment that it
enunciates? Try to regain your innocence if you can, however note that shame or
societal disdain is what we deserve as the just punishment for disobeying any
natural laws!
CHAPTER 3:
SOME INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGES
i.
Did you know that you were once a linguist? Yes, you were
once an international orator and everyone listened and reacted to your famous
speeches! You must have lost that talent or suppressed it. But you can reclaim
it if you really want to be an international sage!! Read on, if you do!
ii.
Visit the home of a couple that has a
newborn and quietly observe everyone in the house for an hour when the baby is
wide-awake. Relax. Just watch mummy, daddy, children and others in the house!
This is a very important practical. Don’t miss it. Do this before reading any further, please!
iii.
What did you see in the home you
visited? Who was dishing out orders to everyone else? Who was the parade
commander? Who was obeyed and must be obeyed? And finally what did you learn
about children and their ability to order everyone around them. Do they get
immediate obedience or compliance? ----Yes, they always do!
iv.
You were once an autocratic baby like
the one you observed! You gave commands and everyone came running to obey you.
At times you even caused a quarrel between daddy and mummy when there was a
delay in compliance to your demands!
v.
Am I making any useful remarks? Of
course, I am! The world of the infant is full of “give me, carry me, feed me, change my wet pants, cant you see I am
hot? - do something about it, cant you feel the cold?- common, cover me with a
blanket,.. etc”
vi.
Some of that language still remains in
everyone’s subconscious mind and we occasionally demand immediate
gratification. If you do so, it shows that you are still a baby when you are
among adults. So stop it now! Selfishness or egocentricity is childish
behaviour! Drop any vestiges of it remaining with you today!
vii.
But that is not all. Did you also
assimilate the love showered on the infant by all around, including yourself?
Atimes, while you were there, you felt like scolding the mum for delaying the
prompt breastfeeding of the baby. Did you?
viii.
That is called “empathy”. You felt for
the helpless infant and wanted to assist in the little way you could. You were
right then, but do you do so nowadays helping or assisting others in this
selfish country and world that we live in? Sympathy is an international
language!
ix.
Did you notice that even daddy was
ready to fight for the baby? He was ready to abandon the love he has for the
wife just to please the infant. Why? I need an answer from you, the proud Homo
sapiens!
x.
It is called international justice! The
weak are always to be defended or protected before the strong. It is a natural
code written in our minds but we sooner than later stifle it, replacing it with
cultural stereotypes and ethnic prejudices. Re-learn it today!!
xi.
My dear, I am not giving you any new
codes of conduct. No! These have always been there! I am only unearthing them
for mankind to become conscious of the international language that everyone
once spoke and understood.
xii.
Crying is an international language
that translates thus: I am in difficulty…
I need your assistance to get out of this sad situation, please help me… will someone listen to me? Did you get my message? How many people
have you rescued in the past week?
xiii.
However note that sometimes teardrops
could indicate extreme pleasure, unexpected joy or negative emotional upset!
But you always tell the difference by assessing the cues in the immediate
environment of the one concerned!
xiv.
Smiling is an international language,
and converts to laughter when doubled or multiplied in geometric proportions!
Both translate into;“ I am pleased at the
moment,.. thank you for the pleasant stimulus,.. it is hilarious here, why
don’t you join us and laugh! Am I making any sense to you? Do not say yes
when you really mean no.
xv.
Frowning is an international language,
which when serious becomes a scowl, threat or hatred and a prelude to mischief.
In all your life avoid it. It does you no good. Ask Cain, the brother of Abel
in the Christian Bible! He is a professor in that subject. He graduated in it
and became the first murderer in the history of mankind, as we are told!
xvi.
Music is an international language! And
when dramatised turns into various types of dancing! Good ones cut across
ethnic, religious and national boundaries. All domesticated and wild animals,
especially snakes listen to and enjoy good music. Ask any zookeeper! Even
criminals enjoy their own kind of music.
xvii.
Romance is an international language!
Falling in love cuts across all human demarcations. It has even resulted in
peace accords, unions and festivals as well as murders, wars and enmity!
xviii.
There are many other international
languages! Learn to cultivate the good ones and minimise the use of any bad language
like scolding, shouting, gossiping, backbiting, slandering and finally
maligning others!
xix.
Two other international languages are;
urinating and defecating! As an infant we all did it wherever and whenever
pressed, but we were also trained to postpone or delay them till we get to the
appropriate places for doing so. Have you been doing these rightly?
xx.
Finally, this is definitely the one
that runs haywire for immature people! Libido or sexual energy, its profitable
use or misuse!! Promiscuity is bad in concept and unhealthy / futile in
execution; anywhere, any day, anytime. Control your passions! The ability to do
so separates mature rational human beings from all infantile, hedonistic and
regressed ones! Which are you? Adieu!
CHAPTER 4:
LECTURES FROM A TODDLER
i.
Have you ever heard of Sigmund Freud,
Jean Piaget, Erik Erickson or Lawrence Kohlberghas? These are well known
research scientists that spent years, studying children in minute detail. So
you need to get into a library or consult a current encyclopaedia to appreciate
the wisdom contained in this chapter!
ii.
We may take off with the toddler. Do
you remember some of the things you did at that age? I can only summarise some
of them here; you sucked your thumb so
much that you had to be punished to stop that 'naughty' habit. Again as you
dropped that one, you began to babble monosyllabic words and very much later
you were able to pronounce your first meaning words, which were; mama, dada,
ada, aha aba, then -mummy, daddy, etc followed gradually!
iii.
But the greatest achievement was what
Jean Piaget called; the acquisition of pre-operational concepts of mass,
volume, height, and depth. But let's take thumb sucking first, which the father
of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud elaborated on in great detail. It contains so
much on personality formation! It is normal for children to suck, for they even
started it right there in the womb long before they were delivered!
iv.
Thumb sucking relieves an infant’s
tension and stimulates the sensitive membranes of the mouth pleasantly. In this
respect the thumb is to the infant what the cigarette is to the adult. When
children are tired, sleepy, hungry, sick, or are teething, their finger sucking
increases.
v.
Scolding a child for thumb sucking will
make him feel guilty, which he will try to relieve by more thumb sucking. This
is counter-productive! It is more
effective to keep him well fed and to provide him with adequate toys to occupy
his hands and fingers.
vi.
So newly weds should take note. You
could be damaging your infant’s future personality by your ignorant enforcement
of age-old discipline that was only done in error and is really a cultural
proscription!
vii.
For cigarette smokers, you now know
that you are regressing to a toddler's method of reducing tension or anxiety,
thereby informing all around you that you still immature. This is equally
applicable to ladies who always delight in chewing gums! A word is enough for
the wise!
viii.
However the most important lesson to
learn from the infant at this time is to face your tensions as a mature adult
and seek for help if need be! Don’t resort to infantile behaviour!! Excessive
drinking is akin to this problem. Alcohol never solved any problems, rather it
adds to it!
ix.
The next lesson is what Freud called
“fixations”. “Fixation at the oral stage leads to extreme selfishness” states
Sigmund Freud. This naturally leads the child onto seeking pleasurable things
in later life, thereby developing as an egocentric personality! Sensuality,
avarice and gluttony follow in the wake of retaining this misdemeanour!
x.
The next fixation is that of the anal
stage, when the child derives pleasure from controlling the anus. Due to
routine you may not have noticed that defecation is pleasurable! It relieves
tension. But in infancy the toddler notices that he/she can control the parents
by inappropriate release or withholding of bowel movements!
xi.
In later life, those that resort to
this regression of infantile manoeuvre develop stingy personality traits. They
tend to hoard in order to control the relevant others' behaviour! Traders take
note! When this trait combines with the previous one; greed, stealing and
robbery are the triplets that are delivered!
xii.
Stingy parents, please realise that your
marriage partner is unduly being stressed by you regressed fixation! Some sexual
relationships suffer because of this subconscious manipulation learnt in early
life!! I have treated many cases of this type in my clinical practice.
xiii.
Bosses in offices, Principals of
schools, Pastors in parishes, Bursars or Purchasing Officers in various
organisations should take a good note of this and re-evaluate their behaviour
henceforth!
xiv.
The next lecture from that toddler is
the fixation at the phallic stage! Most infants derive pleasure from caressing
their sex organs early in life. Some parents notice this and reclaim their kids
before much damage is done. Others ignore this or do not even take notice!
xv.
In reality everyone indulged
temporarily in masturbation early in life to relieve tensions. However some
carry it to teenage, adolescence, and even to adulthood! This results in
promiscuity! It is as simple as that! Retrain yourself if you are involved or
consult a sex therapist!
xvi.
By now you may think that all these are
psychological jargons, but I assure you that they are not! Sigmund Freud spent
all his life after medical college studying these and he is an authority in
this area!
xvii.
That one did not take notice of what
one did, as a child does not translate to that they never occurred! Observe
your own kids from now on and you will be grateful to that great psychoanalyst!
xviii.
The hurdles that every toddler has to
cross to develop into a well-balanced personality have been highlighted for you
to begin a sanitation exercise within yourself! Consult a clinical psychologist
for remedies!
xix.
The integrated personality that we all
desire consists in passing those stage in life appropriately assisted by our
cultural norm and mores. Parental awareness of these stages is hereby canvassed
for. Religion often comes to the rescue, but with varying degrees of success.
Some develop scruples or other depersonalisation syndromes!
xx.
A normal heterosexual relationship is
hard to attain but it is achievable! Don’t give up! Make the best use of the
knowledge your garnered from this chapter to raise your lovely children and
leave the rest for the Almighty Creator of both you and you kids!
INTERLUDE
FOR REFLECTIONS
Those who search will eventually discover something
unique. Those who ask penetrating questions may one day obtain answers from
above rather than human palliatives that rarely satisfy the saintly soul. Those
who ardently knock on the doors of heavenly wisdom, sooner than later gain
divine inspirations from the Holy Spirit of the Original Architect and Ultimate
Engineer of the earth we inhabit! He alone has all the answers to all physical,
social, mental, spiritual and the personal and socio-political problems of our
mundane world, if only we humble ourselves and honestly ask for his wisdom and
guidance. But, do we?
The Creator has hidden so much from our intellectual
faculties that to date we are still unravelling those He is allowing humanity
to glimpse at through divine dreams, intuitions, inspirations and revelations
to devout souls! Do you want to have supernatural knowledge mediated by
spiritual faculties of seeing, feeling, sensing and caring for others? Look
inwards, for the kingdom of God is inside you , not outside as many preachers
tell you. No one ever got eternal bliss by keeping the commandments of men. It
is given to altruistic seekers of that Divine Guidance in the affairs of
mankind, which many yearn for but do not know where, when and how to find it.
Search for it in this book!
The creator gave humans some of his powers and knowledge for recreating
the material universe for the mutual benefits of all his created beings but
today many use his gifts to perpetrate evil. Either by design or demonic
manipulation, the obverse is the case; the first datum that every living thing
recognises is that someone put it here and caters for its welfare. Dogs respect
and fight in defence of their owners. Every pet realises that it is loved and
taken care of by someone who has value for its existence. It is human who pride
themselves of being rational beings that do not recognise, respect or realise
that all of us have a single owner. It is absurd! Some believe there is an
Almighty Creator who provides for each creature on daily basis, some assert
that he has turned his back on us due to our congenital wickedness and cruel
ways, while others simply deny his existence!
DO YOU REALISE THAT EVERY BEING HAS A SOUL?
AND EACH IS VALUED BY OUR CREATOR?
CHAPTER 5:
WINDOWS OF THE SOUL
i.
Before you misinterpret this subheading, note that it
is only a continuation of “Lectures from a toddler” but from a different
perspective. As I was typing this on my computer it occurred to me that we
humans perform similar tasks as the hard disc, floppy diskette or CD-ROM.
ii.
All computers need windows to function, and so does the
human central nervous system. I quickly remembered also that in the science of
ergonomics machines are made to fit human operators. Then the really big one is
that electronic engineers studied the human brain, how it functions in everyday
life, and copied it to invent the computer itself!
iii.
The eyes, ears, nose, mouth and the skin of the infant
allow it to communicate with the external environment just as the keyboard, the
mouse, and modems permit the computer to appreciate the “garbage in, garbage
out “ paradigm!
iv.
So it is with the human soul! It has many windows with
which it interacts with, controls and responds to both the internal and the
external environments of the human body!
v.
We feel hot, cold, warm, and have tactile responses
because nature’s gift of feeling is a window of the soul! So also are the other
windows you may observe in the body of our little lecturer, “the toddler”.
vi.
A brand new hard disc, “the C drive”, is blank until
programs are fed into it! And so is the new-born / babe's mind, its early
responses and later in life its traits, mannerisms, and ultimately its good and
bad behaviours!
vii.
Has it ever occurred to you that differences in
children are due to a variety of programmers working on its “CPU”, by the very
same ways different soft wares fed into a computer determines the behaviours
and services it can render?
viii.
So, we intend to reflect on how we influence the making
of saints or criminals in our family interactions with toddlers in this
chapter! In reality, we are the products of parental influences, cultural,
ethnic and religious stereotypes and social prejudices! This is the hard truth!
ix.
If you rear a set of identical male twins, one in a
prison yard and the other in a monastery. What would you expect at the end of
twenty-five years? Or, on the other hand, you rear a set of female identical
twins, one in a convent and the other in a brothel, what will the results of
your experiment behaviour-wise?
x.
That is exactly what happens to us all within our short
life span of home upbringing by responsible or irresponsible adults around us!
Make no mistakes about it; stealing, aggressiveness, telling lies, cleanliness,
carefulness, loyalty promiscuity etc are all programmed behaviours!
xi.
So we must be wary and conscious of what we do or fail
to do in the presence of toddlers, teenagers and adolescents! They constitute
the best imitators and artistes in the world. The irony of it being that they
take it for real and the beat way to survive in he socio-cultural milieu they
grew up! And they carry it about to other areas of the world unable to
differentiate “the good, the bad and the ugly”.
xii.
When I bought my first computer, I had “Microsoft
Windows 95”
as its pre-installation program from Compaq, the factory that made it. Later on
I learnt that two more windows were already in existence since then, but there
little I could do about a change. I made the best use of that primary learning
program, even though most of my more informed friends pressurised me to
re-program it.
xiii.
Sooner than later, fluctuations in electric current in
my neighbourhood took its toll on my hard disc, and all I got after my computer
had booted out was; “operating system, not found”. Truly, that was exactly
“experimental neurosis” for my poor CPU, and it won my sympathy. I took the
whole compartment that houses the hard disc to Lagos, parted with a large chunk
of my income and had “Microsoft Windows 98” installed!
xiv.
Before that decision, however, I had made inquiries on
the best program that was in the market, for by then two more windows had been
introduced into the computer world! And so it is with every toddler's mind! It
is programmed. But unlike the computer, it cannot be reprogrammed easily. There
are always traces of the original programs, software, on line, Internet (surfed
or browsed) and downloaded programs!
xv.
You can begin to appreciate more why parents and other
relevant adults around every new-born must be wise and selective about what the
baby sees, hears, tastes, feels or touches within the first five years of life!
Do I need to explain an idiom? No! It is never done in my culture. You just
have to grow up to unravel the nuggets of wisdom wrapped in an idiom! Do so
now!
xvi.
The ‘icons, shortcuts, mouse’ and other methods of
recognising and inserting good and bad behaviour patterns in the infant,
graduates into more sophistication as it learns to walk, talk, read, listen to
radio/ tape recorders and watch television programs!
xvii.
Therefore, bringing up a balanced and well-groomed
teenager is not a simple task. Unfortunately that is exactly what obtains in
most homes! Parents think that all they need do is; feed the baby well, take it
hospital, Nursery school or Sunday service. They are as wrong as they can ever
be in life!
xviii.
And such parents are the first to exclaim, “ What’s
wrong with junior? Why is this child behaving abnormally? During my teenage
years, I never did things like these? What is wrong with children of nowadays?
I cannot exhaust the list of embarrassing statements I have heard!
xix.
For an answer, I have only this “They had immature
parents who ignored them early in life, but were busy chasing money, and those
parents are delinquents!” We
over-emphasise what is trivial, magnify or over-prioritise that which does not
build good human relationships but in the same vein neglect our children’s
proper upbringing.
xx.
Please rethink after reading this chapter. The greatest
investment you can ever make in life is training you child properly, not a fat
bank account or landed properties scattered all over the world! Many homes have
no children but you are toying with the fruits of love Nature has bountifully
and/or gracefully given to you! Do you deserve them? Relent, my friend, I mean
repent!
CHAPTER 6
OF BECOMING A GREAT
SOUL
i.
Everything that lives and possesses
immanent motion has a soul! Do you want a debate on that? Simple, tell me any
invention of man that is self- propelled? The nearest we have come to that, is
the novel solar system whereby some prototypes of electrical machines are
energised by the power of the sun. This would definitely benefit those living
in the tropics and that explains why European scientists are dragging their
feet over their mass production!
ii.
But what are our so-called professors
in engineering waiting for? When shall all those warming academic stools in our
glorified universities in the tropics compete with their counterparts? In order
not to derail, lets focus on how one can aspire to and eventually become a
great soul worthy of mention after one's lifespan on earth!
iii.
What or who is a great soul? To answer
that question let us consider some great statements that have changed the
course of man's history and identify those who made them; - “The moment the slave resolves
that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. He frees himself and shows
the way to others. Freedom and slavery are mental states.” Guess
who made that everlasting statement!
iv. “ If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we
must recognise the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less
arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a
fitting place.” I hope you will get this very easily, can you?
v.
“ I submit that an individual who
breaks an unjust law that his conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly
accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the
community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for
law.”
vi.
Have you attempted to find the Great
Souls that made those watersheds of eternal truths? If not, you need the
services of a historian of repute to unravel their identities! Let me give you
some more clues.
vii.
Add this to the first quotation; --– A diminutive man possessed of an
indomitable will, who not only secured national independence for his native
land, but also introduced to world politics a concept of active, non-violent
civil disobedience an idea whose myriad applications have only begun to be
explored. Have you remembered him by now?
viii. Add this to the second quotation; --As
an anthropologist, she advocated progressive social action, as is evident in
one of her most famous quotes: “ Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever
has.”
ix.
Add this to the third quotation; -- When he was in jail, he wrote, “ I am in Birmingham
x.
If by now you have not guessed anyone
of the three Great Souls correctly, then stop reading this Kenezian Ethics, for
it will do you no good! You need to refine your thoughts, enlarge your heart,
begin to learn new ideas about humanitarian principles and a little more from
history books!
xi.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma (Great Soul) wrote the first one in 1949, in his book:
NON-VIOLENCE IN PEACE AND WAR. He is today regarded as the greatest
revolutionary of the century. He has many disciples, to date, including this
author!
xii.
Margaret Mead, while popularising anthropology
through her field studies on the cultures of New Guinea Samoa ,
wrote the second quotation in 1935,
in her classic: “SEX AND TEMPERAMENT IN THREE PRIMITIVE
SOCIETIES.” She argued that culture and society, not biological inheritance,
determine individual character. The idea disarmed theorists who asserted that
personality and intelligence, like the colour of skin, stemmed from biology,
and it discredited arguments that supported race-based policies of segregation.
xiii. Martin Luther King, jnr. wrote the third quotation in a book compiled from the letters he wrote
on scraps of paper and smuggled out from prison cell in 1963, entitled: “ LETTER FROM BIRMINGHAM JAIL.” The letters
were mainly addressed to his critics in the clergy who opposed his civil rights
marches.
xiv. King credited Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi for the non-violent methods
of civil disobedience he used against unjust laws. In subsequent years before
his assassination in 1968, King – against much resistance – led the drive
toward civil rights legislation while promoting peaceful civil disobedience as
a universal method of demanding social and economic justice.
xv.
Have you learnt any veritable lessons
from those quotes of Great Souls? I deliberately chose from three different
cultures and from both sexes, to assert that great minds exist in most men and
women of great repute! You too, can become a beacon of light in this present
life and a source of inspiration after death!
xvi. A single voice can change the world! Whether the voice describes a new
scientific theory, tells the stories of a culture, or speaks for a previously
voiceless group of people! It can reach across national borders and across time
to influence a wider world and transform the world that follows.
xvii. That voice could be yours. Start today to have universal thoughts that
will benefit the whole humanity. Yes, that’s the way all Great Souls began!
Influential thinkers perform such feats! You too, can become a Great Soul!!
xviii. The twentieth century is nearing an end. Powerful ideas in physical and
medical sciences, arts and humanities, politics and religion have changed our
social relationships for better or for worse! Don’t sit on the fence. Choose a
role model today and begin to emulate him or her!
xix. Some great minds have altered humanity, increased understanding between
individuals and cultures, and helped to define our present world for good or
for bad. Nothing ever remains the same always. Change is a natural law that we
all must obey at all times!
xx. Do you want to make history? Today is your genesis! Seize the
opportunity of this moment. Let this meditation on becoming a Great Soul be the
impetus that you have been waiting for! Don’t procrastinate! It is a lazy man’s
excuse!
BOTH IN RURAL VILLAGES AND URBAN
CITIES, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT ONE’S BEHAVIOUR CLASSIFIES ONE AS CHILDISH,
REGRESSED, ADOLESCENT, AND ADULT OR ADENESCENT. WHERE DO YOU BELONG IN THIS
CATEGORISATIONS?
CHAPTER 7
EIGHT AGES OF MAN
i Now we shall consult another expert on the
development of the toddler. How does the infant acquire some personality
traits? In other words, how did you become the individual you are today with
all your peculiar mannerisms? What roles did your parents and relevant others
play in the shaping your present personality traits?
ii Erik Homburger Erikson,
while practising at the Centre for the Advanced Study in the Behavioural
Sciences, Stanford , California
iii On the front cover he
summarised his work thus: “ While tribes
and nations, in many intuitive ways, use child training to the end of gaining
their particular form of mature human identity, their unique version of
integrity, they are and remain, beset by the irrational fears which stem from
the very state of childhood which they exploited in their specific ways.”
iv
Professor Erikson is a Freudian. Using a number of fascinating case
histories as springboards for theoretical discussions of the formative years of
childhood, he reveals human life as a delicate balance between bodily, mental
and social influences in the masterpiece!
v.
You just have to locate that handy book
and read it in a hurry, in order to follow my conclusions here! The title of
our chapter is lifted from his book and coincidentally it is also a chapter
seven! I can only summarise them here, and my précis may not convey all the
information you need. So, find it and read it!
vi.
The first age of man, Erikson labelled
as; “Basic
Trust versus Basic Mistrust” which refers to the relaxation the infant
feels with parental provision of his basic survival needs. “The first demonstration of social trust in the baby is the ease of his
feeding, the depth of his sleep, the relaxation of his bowels. The experience
of a mutual regulation of his increasingly receptive capacities, with the
maternal techniques of provision gradually helps him to balance the discomfort
caused by the immaturity of homeostasis with which he was born”.
vii.
In practice, the infant’s first social
achievement, then, is his willingness to let the mother out of sight without
undue anxiety or rage, because she has become an inner certainty as well as an
outer predictability. A maternal bond formed by long and regular breastfeeding
ensures this! Such consistency, continuity and sameness of experience provide a
rudimentary sense of ego identity.
The lesson to learn from that analysis is that parents should take the blame if
their children do not trust anyone in later life! Build confidence in your
little infants today!!
viii.
The next age is labelled: “Autonomy
versus Shame & Doubt” which has to do with locomotion. Maturation
of the limbs and the ability to move around brings in its wake anxiety!
Muscular maturation sets the stage for experimentation with two simultaneous
sets of social modalities; their basic conflicts can lead in the end to either
hostile or benign expectations or attitudes. These are very important facts
which parents neglect either due to ignorance or dereliction of duties towards
new-borns that are priceless gifts from Mother Nature!
ix.
“Thus,
to hold can become as destructive and cruel as retaining or restraining, and it
can become a pattern of care: to have and to hold! To let go, too, can turn
into an inimical letting loose of destructive forces, or it can become a
relaxed “to let pass” and “to let be”. In other words, we need to realise
that self-confidence and independence depends on how much autonomy we allow our
children in early life. Allow them to be on their own. Don’t over-protect nor
pamper your children. When they fall down, allow them to get up by themselves!
x.
The age of “Initiative versus Guilt”
follows, which Erikson describes as the most important factor in morality
development! There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous
unfolding, which constitutes a New
Hope
xi.
The criteria for all these senses and
qualities are the same: a crisis, more or less beset with fumbling and fear, is
resolved, in that the child suddenly seems to “grow together” both in his
person and in his body. He appears “more himself”, more loving, relaxed and
brighter in his judgement, more activated and activating.
xii.
He is in free possession of a surplus
of energy, which permits him to forget failures quickly and to approach what
seems desirable (even if it also seems uncertain and even dangerous) with
undiminished and more accurate direction. Initiative adds to autonomy the
quality of undertaking, planning and “attacking” a task for the sake of being
active and on the move, where before self-will, more often than not, inspires
acts of defiance or, at any rate, protested independence!
xiii.
The point for all adults around growing
children to note, is that we must permit freedom to infants to makes mistakes,
bear the consequences for their indiscretions and thereby learn to obey norms
and mores on their own initiative rather than to please anyone! Does this make
any sense to you? Moral codes must be rationalised and internalised on their
own, not by religious or parental coercion!
xiv.
The next age is that of “Industry versus
Inferiority”, wherein Erikson next introduces the genesis of laxity,
truancy and malingering. The last stage is the foundation of initiative, thus
the inner stage seems all set for “entrance into life”, except that life must
first be school life, whether school is in a field or a jungle or a classroom!
The child must forget past hopes and wishes while his exuberant imagination is
tamed and harnessed to the laws of impersonal things – even the three Rs!
xv.
With the oncoming latency period, the
normally advanced child forgets, or rather sublimates, the necessity to “make”
people by direct attack or to become a papa or a mama in a hurry! S/he now
learns to win recognition by producing things, becomes ready to apply
her/himself to given skills and tasks, which go far beyond the mere playful
expression of her/his sexual organ's modes of pleasure in the function of his
limbs.
xvi.
The growing child or teenager now
develops a sense of industry – i.e., s/he adjusts her/himself to the inorganic
laws of the tool world. S/he can become an eager and absorbed unit of a
productive situation, and to bring it to completion is an aim/objective, which
gradually supersedes the whims and wishes of play! A successful adjustment
results in a well-balanced adult! So, guide your kids to achieve independence
and industry in later life and you would have scored a 100% as good and dutiful
parent!!!
xvii.
The fifth age, Erikson called “Identity
versus Role Confusion” which simply states what is happening as the
teenager evolves into an adolescent. With the establishment of a good initial
relationship to the world of skills and tools, and with the advent of puberty,
childhood proper ends. Youth begins!
xviii.
With the maturation of their gonads; menarche
in females and wet dreams in males, they are now primarily concerned with what
they appear to be in the eyes of others as compared with what they feel they
are, and also with the question of how to connect the roles and skills
cultivated earlier with the occupational prototypes of the day!
xix.
The integration now taking place in the
form of ego identity is, as pointed out earlier, more than the sum of the
childhood identifications. It is the accrued experience of the ego's ability to
integrate all identifications with the vicissitudes of the libido, with the
aptitudes developed out of endowment and with the opportunities offered in
social roles!
xx.
The danger of this stage is role confusion! Where this is based on a
strong previous doubt as to one's sexual identity, delinquency and/or outright
psychotic episodes are common! But when properly resolved and to keep
themselves together, they temporarily over identify, to the point of apparent
complete loss of identity, with heroes of cliques and crowds!
xxi.
This initiates the stage of “falling in
love”, which is by no means entirely, or even primarily, a sexual matter –
except where the mores demand it. To
a considerable extent, adolescent love is an attempt to arrive at a definition
of one's identity by projecting one's diffused ego-image on another and by
seeing it thus reflected and gradually clarified. This is why; so much of young
love is conversation and an over-doze of chattering spiced with giggles!
xxii. “Intimacy versus Isolation” is the next
age of man, according to Professor Erik Erikson! The young adult, emerging from
the search for and the insistence on identity, is eager and willing to fuse his
identity with that of others. S/he is ready for intimacy, that is, the capacity
to commit her/himself to concrete affiliations and partnerships and to develop
the ethical strength to abide by such commitments, even though they may call
for significant sacrifices and compromises.
xxiii. The physical body and the ego must
now become masters of the organ modes (instinctual energies)
and of the nuclear conflicts (sexual
urges), in order to be able to face the fear of ego loss (inferiority
complex) in situations which call for self-abandon (self denial): in the
solidarity of close affiliations, in orgasms and sexual unions, in close
friendship and in physical combat, in experiences of inspiration by teachers
and of intuition from the recesses of the self!
xxiv. The avoidance of such
experiences because of fear of ego-loss may lead to a deep sense of isolation,
withdrawn personality traits and consequent self-absorption. These predisposing
factors lead to masturbation, homosexuality and lesbianism! Be observant and
rescue your little ones from these abnormalities early in life! Show them true
love. Display genuine heterosexual relationships whenever you and your spouse
are in front of them!
xxv. The seventh age of man then, is “Generativity versus Stagnation”,
a term that encompasses the evolutionary development that has made man the
teaching and instituting as well as the learning animal. Generativity, then, is
primarily the concern in establishing and guiding the next generation of human
beings, although there are individuals who, through misfortune or because of
special and genuine gifts in other directions, do not apply this drive to their
own offspring.
xxvi. Generativity thus is an essential on the psychosexual as well as on the
psychosocial schedule. Where such enrichment fails altogether, regression to an
obsessive need for pseudo-intimacy takes place, often with a pervading sense of
stagnation and personal impoverishment. This is the predisposing factor for the
variety of abnormal sexual behaviour mentioned earlier! In fact, some young
parents suffer from the retardation of the ability to develop this stage!
xxvii. And finally, we arrive at the last age of man; “Ego integrity versus
Despair”, which the learned professor describes thus; “Only in him who in some way has taken care
of things and people and has adapted her/himself to the triumphs and
disappointments adherent to being, the originator of others or the generator of
products and ideas – only in him/her may gradually ripen the fruits of these
seven stages”.
xxviii. “It is the ego's accrued assurance of its
proclivity for order and meaning. It is a post-narcissistic love of the human
ego – not of the self – as an experience which conveys some world order and
spiritual sense, no matter how dearly paid for! It is the acceptance of one's
one and only life cycle as something that had to be and that, by necessity,
permitted of no substitutions: it thus means a new, a different love of one's
parents” affirms Erikson!
xxix.“The lack or loss of this accrued ego
integration is signified by fear of death: the one and only life cycle is not
accepted as the ultimate of life. Despair expresses the feeling that the time
is now short, too short for the attempt to start another life and to try out
alternative roads to integrity! Disgust hides despair, if often only in form of
a thousand little disgusts which do not add up to one big remorse”, concludes our learned professor!”
xxx.
My dear reader, with the wisdom gained
here, you can now assert that it is not religion that makes one feel
guilty, develop into a sex pervert and/or become a recluse! Modern
man has to learn to de-emphasise scruples induced by religious injunctions and
accept his responsibility for personal failures in life! If that is the only
lesson you have learnt from this chapter, you are a wise person!! Go ahead and
implement that principle in all your dealings in life!
CHAPTER 8:
MORAL
DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN
i Another recent research scientist that studied childhood in detail is
Lawrence Kohlberghas, an American psychologist, who stated that as we grew up
each one of us passed six developmental stages of morality! He carefully
monitored and documented how infants develop the sense of right and wrong. He
is a current scientist, and we can learn a lot from his research!
ii Stage one, he
labelled; PRE-MORAL , here moral development
is essentially at the pre-moral level.
Children at this stage behave properly simply to avoid punishment. They show an
unquestioning deference to power /authority, moreover, the physical
consequences of any action determine its goodness or badness for the child.
iii. Stage two, is INSTRUMENTAL-HEDONISTIC, morality here is like a
marketable commodity for the teenager. What is considered right is primarily
what is good for the child himself; occasionally, the satisfaction of other’s
needs is a factor, but the outlook of these persons is essentially an
instrumental-hedonistic one; e.g. ‘You scratch my back, I scratch yours.’
iv. Stage three, is PEER GROUP APPROVAL; morality is what is approved by
others. Peer group satisfaction gradually replaces parent’s approval. At this
level the child is able to take the role of others, he can understand what will
please them and tries to gain recognition as “the good child”.
v. Stage four; The LAW–AND–ORDER stage. Here, children’s respect
for authority, whether parents, teachers, policemen, priests or pastor
originates in anticipation of honour and avoidance of dishonour. The
orientation is to do one’s duty, obey fixed rules and maintain the social
order.
vi. Stage five; AUTONOMY,
principally behaviour is based on what is right or wrong, decisions are made on
what is proper or improper on the basis of contracts, social or personal at the
stage. Adolescents are able to take into account the viewpoint of society in
general or play the roles of adults.
vii. Stage six; is the UNIVERSAL
ETHICAL PRINCIPLE orientation. According to Kohlberg, only Jesus Christ,
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King jnr. have displayed in their lives;
respect for the rights and dignity of their fellow human beings and had been
concerned that this mutual respect becomes a universal law!
viii. From the information garnered
from Lawrence Kohlberghas, most of us humans are still struggling to graduate
from the third stage of moral development and this accounts for so many puerile
and purposeless leaders all over the globe!
ix. The second stage of moral
development fits what we observe in Third World
countries, whereas, only a few of the so-called Fist and Second world country
are fixated at the third stage.
x. In INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT. (I.S.M.), the target of each
member is to reach the sixth stage within ten years of joining the fellowship.
Any one who lags behind will be asked to resign his/her membership! It is a
sure proof that such a one is neither rational nor scientific and we detest
such regressive behaviour!
xi. If as scientists or rationalists we
are agreed that only AN UNMOVED MOVER or AN UNCUSED CAUSER was responsible for
existence, the universe and life; then we are brothers and sisters with equal
rights, privileges and responsibilities to one another.
xii. Some philosophers prefer the term
‘The Summum Bonuum’ but we are not restricting our discussion to languages that
are cumbersome for some to master. ‘The Supreme Good’ is neither an idiomatic
translation nor an adequate literal translation! More over both are subject to
myopic misrepresentations as what is ‘good’ to one person or culture may be
‘bad’ to another, for example, polygamy whether polyandry or polygyny!
xiii. At this point it might be
fundamental to summarise what Gestalt Therapy has to offer! The mainstay or the
notion here is that people are born
wonderful, happy creatures and would remain that was if allowed to grow up
naturally.
xiv. It is the society one grows up in
which begins to influence us as children, that sometimes pushes us onto the
wrong track. Our problems occur when we absorb other people’s value-judgements,
like our parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, teachers, religious or political
leaders.
xv. When these value-judgements are in
sharp contrast to our own real feelings, life-long conflicts arise. We often
experience these conflicts as self-disapproval for own genuine feelings and
rather impose the opinions of our culture or religion!
xvi. That alone spells the beginning of
the end. So in I.S.M. it is your duty to identify these impositions and ratify
them based on the divine natural laws the Almighty Creator put in the universe.
This is the basic theory and practice of Kenezianism
xvii. Finding them is easy. Look
inwards and find the natural laws written boldly in your heart. The little
voice that speaks to you anytime you are about to violate the natural laws are
international and non-partisan. What your parents and culture tried to do was
only to stifle it and imprint what they thought would be good for you!
xviii. You and you are the final
arbiter in what you think, decide and implement! No one can imprison your mind,
thoughts and words. Yes, no one can bend your will–power if you are resolute.
Are you going to be the driver in the seat of your vehicle (your material body)
or are you going to be a passenger? This and only this is the golden price ISM
demands of you, and thereafter you can gain eternal freedom!
xix
In Kenezianism, only One True God exists, namely; GOD,THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR! He initiated
initiates and will forever initiate all thoughts, words and actions that are
global, eternal and metaphysical in all beings, animate as well as inanimate.
He is the Only One that deserves our unalloyed worship, praise, honour and
adoration!
xxi. Every other being that ever existed,
exists or will ever exist, does so at His pleasure and comes under His Natural
and Eternal Laws that govern all macrocosms and microcosms He created! Hence
every other great religious leader, dead or alive, those acclaimed as divine
prophets, gurus, saviours or mystics are all classified as ‘lords’.
xxii. Therefore Shankara & Ramanuja, K’ung Ch’iu (Confucius), Siddhartha
Guatama (Buddha), Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua,
David, Solomon, John the Baptist, Jesus the Christ, Peter and/or Paul the
apostles, Mohammed the Prophet, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Sa’i Baba
and/or any other prominent moralist must be referred to only as ‘Lords’!
xxiii. None of them or anyone else that may come hereafter is near to or
co-equal with Our Almighty Father, who created and sustains everything in
existence! This knowledge and its eternal acceptance as the stepping stone to
all educational programmes are the beginning of wisdom for scientists of all
generations, as well as for all shades of religious affiliations!
xxiv. Our great grandfathers knew that much! So why did some fanatics deify
their heroes and idolised what was created and finite at any stage of its
material/physical existence in this universe? Ignorance is the one and only
correct answer!
xxv. None of these famous religious leaders was there at the dawn of
creations. Read the books credited to Job, Solomon, Issaiah, Sirach, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. None of these authors suggested anything like that! No,
not even the great Patriarch Moses who founded Judaism was ever credited with
dualising the Godhead, not to mention Christians tripling it!
xxvi. Even the great apostle of the gentiles, Saul of Tarsus, later called
Paul after his miraculous conversion, emphatically states that the Almighty God
is One and has no equal or deputy! Read more of this in his first letter to his
loyal converts at Corinthians, Chapter 8 verses 1-6. Moses did a better job in
the whole of his book named EXODUS!
xxvii. So let us all stop this buffoonery of attributing equality in
personhood to anything else! It is not only idolatrous but sacrilegious and
irrational! It breeds fanaticism, segregation, partisanship and finally
syncretism. It is the harbinger of all-religious differences, schisms, feuds
and wars!
xxviii. The world of science, medicine and electronics have demonstrated that all
human beings can believe, learn and accept certain universal ways of doing
things! This is because these areas of knowledge are impartial, objective and
devoid of sentimental attachment or any form of socio-political patronage. We
hold international conferences on most departments of academics and arrive at
world-wide principles and standards, so why not in religion?
xxix. The answer is simple; Religion
is constructed on the shifting sands of emotions, politics and hero-worships.
These are inimical to modern man. And the sooner we recognised it and addressed
it, the better for our generation! That is all that I.S.M. stands for. Join us
today, and provide the human race with a scientifically oriented spiritual
fellowship where all are brothers and sisters. Thank you and God bless
everyone!
*** Christian fanatics should read Matt.19: 16 -30 or Mk.10: 17 -31 or
again Lk.18: 18 -30,
And thereafter recognise that it was Saul of Tarsus
Realising that Is.45: 23 given as a foot reference does not confirm nor
corroborate that deification!
It was a Pauline error, which has diverted the true worship of the only
Creator - Almighty God!
So also did the Doctrine of Holy Trinity, which was copied, from Hindu
religion and from Greco-Roman mythology!
CHAPTER 9:
CONTROVERSY CAUSED BY RELIGIONS
i
My dear reader, can I now call you a disciple? It will help me avoid the
error of many religionists who unwittingly masculinise all their injunctions
with “he, his, himself, man” as if only males are moralistic! In today’s world,
women are more religiously minded than men, yet many preachers and evangelists
still deliver their sermons as if the womenfolk were not around!
ii.
My dear disciple, have you ever noticed
the competition among various churches and ministries around where you live?
Would there be so much strife, slandering, castigation and/or outright
condemnation of each other if leaders of these groups really understood the
existential meaning of religion?
iii.
The true meaning of the term “religion”
is “ to bind oneself to doing something willy-nilly”. Whether it is the belief
in or the worship of gods or a God, as the dictionaries would have us believe,
the word originally came from the Latin root “religere” which literally translates to “to bind”, as if tied with a rope. Its origin was derogatory. It was
meant to castigate the early Christians whom Nero ‘the mad emperor’ tied to
stakes and made sport of, by allowing lions to tear their bodies apart while
the victims screamed in pains!
iv.
Read historical writings about how the
early Christians were martyred and you will even realise that today we have
very little faith. Where is the LOVE that these early Christians demonstrated?
Where is ‘the sharing all their belongings among themselves’ that Chapter 4
verses 32 –37 of the Acts of the Apostles credited them with? When shall the
present crowd of hypnotised fanatics realize that they are being taken for a
ride by ‘a brood of vipers’ or demonic preachers, ‘whose only god is their
belly’ as Jesus, the Christ referred to them in the Christian bible? Hypocrisy
has elevated to an art that yields millions for these half-baked charlatans and
school dropouts!
v.
We have lost true love and religious
piety that to greed, selfishness, avarice, pride and the monetisation or
commercialisation of religious worship, crusades and other clandestine
activities, all in the name of religion! While these pastors smile to the
banks, their followers wallow in penury, starvation and ignorance! Did Christ
or any other religious leader in history ever preach competition, hatred, calumny,
gossiping, slandering and a myriad of other divisive behaviour that
characterise today’s mode of pecuniary evangelisation antics?
vi.
So, my dear disciple, can you now see
the plan of the Evil One that was predicted in the Bible, the Anti-Christ and
his devilish strategy? Don’t ever be caught up in their materialistic religious
deceptions! Free yourself today. Rationalise what you hear, choose the one that
satisfies international ethics, as all altruistic moralists would enjoin us.
This is the scientific age, not the early or prehistoric ages when everything
was based on introspective vituperations or theological speculations of
self-proclaimed visionaries. Logical arguments and satisfactory conclusions
should be your guidelines in religious activities, not emotions!
vii.
If you have not acquired any logical
skills, then now is the best time to learn the basics of scientific reasoning.
It is the solution to so many differences of opinions in life. I encourage you
to be rational in your thinking, discussions and actions from now on. You will
be surprised by the amount of freedom you will feel. Take time to evaluate all
you have accepted from childhood as truths without having had neither the
chance nor the capability to reason them out by then! Free yourself from self-imprisonment!
Throw away those dogmatic and doctrinal shackles that have held you hostage for
so many years.
viii.
Witness these practical samples of
Kenezian wisdom: everyone uses telephone, whether cellular or non- cellular,
these days without quarrelling over who invented it; no arguments arise from
the use of computers or the internet; and so does transportation either by
land, sea or air! None of these has ever brought any strife neither between any
religious groups nor between nationalities of various nomenclatures. Why does
religion generate so much strife and disagreements? The answer is very simple!
It operates on the level of irrational emotions; what appeals to one group of
worshippers do not appeal to others, because they are primarily based on personal
opinions of their leaders. Moreover the human mind is so egocentric,
impressionistic and parochial! It dichotomises what naturally does not need any
divisions, segregations or compartmentalisations.
ix.
Check this one out. Will two medical doctors
quarrel over the treatment of headaches or bruises or fractures? No, is the
natural answer. But often we do not realize why! That is exactly where
Kenezianism comes in as a science of morals that cuts across national,
political and religious boundaries. It reduces every concept about the
supernatural to logic, facts, data and practical knowledge that are independent
of its originator’s personal opinions. The concepts in Kenezianism are natural
phenomena that are replicable in any part of the world, irrespective of the
literacy level of its practitioner!
x.
An example will demonstrate its
universality. In Kenezianism, all human beings are accepted as brothers and
sisters for the mere scientific fact that we have similar blood groupings,
identical anatomy, comparable physiology and heterosexual behavioural patterns!
The proofs are there for everyone to see and accept rationally, not emotionally
nor parochially! We intermarry; blacks, whites, and yellows interchangeably;
and produce children not apes. And these off springs of ours are neither
ethnocentric at birth nor apartheid in social relationships until their parents
introduce them to stereotypic child-rearing practices and segregationist
education! This Gestalt Therapy deals with. The avid reader can explore it!
xi.
The principle of Kenezianism abhors
such, and will not be dragged into such mundane socio-political balderdash or
any religious buffoonery! Its mission statement spells that out in the KENEZIAN
CREED and the LETTER TO ALL EDUCATIONISTS. Read them over and over. Rationalise
their universal utility for a more equitable and egalitarian world government!
If you cannot accept nor internalise the concept therein, drop this book here
and now and never border to read any other publications of the Kenezians! It is
very essential that we abrogate ethnic, racial, status and religio-cultural
divisions in our world of today that has become a global village. The way we
fight pandemics and terrorism should serve us well in socio-political
dimensions also! We must genuinely be our brothers’ keepers!
xii.
The literacy level of many adherents of
various religious groups is very low. Add to this, the reluctance of human
beings to adjust quickly to changes, and then you will better appreciate why
many wallow in ignorance. Many do not like to explore unknown areas of
knowledge in their short life spans. Most accept the religion they were born
into, swallow all their parental injunctions and cap them all with the
dogmas/doctrines manufactured by their myopic leaders. Thus we have religious wars,
crusades and jihads today, that culminate in terrorism of varying magnitudes;
the highest of which was the now notorious “September 11th of U.S.A.
xiii.
When shall we ever learn? Did Confucius, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus or
Mohammed ever preach syncretism? The answer is an affirmative NO! Only Moses,
due to depersonalisation syndromes emanating from years of the enslavement of
his kith and kin in Egypt and his personal refugee status in Midian before he
was recalled to lead them out, inadvertently introduced segregationist concepts
encapsulated in the Mosaic laws of ‘clean and unclean’ religious injunctions
that culminated in ‘the Jew and the Gentile’ racist policies Chris failed to
address succinctly before he was sacrificed.
xiv.
As far as we are concerned in
Kenezianism, that was a costly price for every religious leader who fails to
resolve ethnic issues in his sermons. Did he reconcile the descendants of Esau,
Ishmael and Jacob? No! Did he identify with the Samaritans, Greek or other
‘Gentile’ citizens of his epoch? No! Did he integrate the Roman Rulers of his
time with his ethnic group? No! There were many other leaders, religious and/or
political, in history that paid for the same negligence. The concept that he
died for everyone is not only obsolete but also idiosyncratic and outrageously
fanatical, for up till now, present Jews and previous ones never acknowledged
that idea. To-date, the Jewish race is still expecting a Saviour! It was Saul
of Tarsus who marketed the idea, as he was making reparations for murdering
Stephen and many early followers that he had dispatched to impromptu graves!
xv.
The truth will always surface no matter
for how long it is buried. Let us learn to apportion blame wherever and
whenever they are due. Hero worship never pays lasting dividends. Idolising a
great leader detracts from total loyalty and the true worship we owe to the
Almighty Father, the Indisputable Creator of the universe and all of us; human
beings, plants, animals, animate microcosms and other inanimate macrocosms. It
is time to proclaim the true Unitarian Godhead! Trinitarians are idolaters who
copied from the ancient symbols of the religions of the Far
East and those of Egyptian mythology!
xvi.
Pragmatism, Rationalism and
Existentialism (P.R.E) remain the tripod on which Kenezianism rests! Subject
every novel idea you learn, to the acid test of satisfying those ‘Three Kings’
and if it passes, then internalise and practise it in your daily life. If not,
vomit it, for it is a counterfeit and therefore it is anti-thetical to the
present scientific age of man; ‘the Homo sapiens’! You are hereby appointed a
judge of all our write-ups that do not meet those criteria, namely PRE. In addition, every injunction of
Kenezianism must be people oriented, meaning that it must be truly humanitarian
in all ramifications; thus giving us the formula; k= (ica / pre) hapo, where ‘k’ is same as Kenezianism, ‘ica’ equates to; ideas, communication
& actions, ‘pre’ represents the
three kings just mentioned above, whereas ‘hapo’
stands for; humanitarian and people oriented! Ask a mathematician to explain
the rest to you, while we proceed to other pressing fundamentals.
xvii.
Whereas other spiritual organisations emphasise ‘beliefs-systems’and
‘dogmas/doctrines’ Kenezianism emphatically encourages you to know, experiment
and prove beyond every reasonable doubt, every construct we propose to you for
a lucid evaluation that can formulate the building blocks for an all-embracive world government. We do not
believe that God exists; rather we know that HE/SHE/IT exists irrespective of
our acceptance or otherwise of the great truth! God is the ONE and ONLY GODHEAD
that is and has no need for a Trinitarian explanation. We prefer to refer to
this godhead as ‘The Almighty Creator’ at all times and use the pronoun ‘IT’ as
there is no proof that IT is either male or female!! And as the Prime Mover of
all else that moves, it can manifest as sound, light, energy and even as a
physical entity!
xviii.
The ambition of all Kenezians is to
internationalise ‘obedience to all natural and eternal laws as the bedrock of a
world spiritual fellowship of realists and/or scientists not a congregation of
theologians, fanatics nor religionists. There are many international religions
already existing in the scientific community, like the FIFA, OLYMPIC COMMITTEE,
the WCC, the ICRC or even the latest and most popular religion as at now; the
internet (http/www.org) to mention but a few, with dedicated adherents from all
walks of life, esoteric/mystical sects and a variety of mundane/fanatical
fraternities or denominations that we can ill-afford to increase the number.
Rather, we crave to stand in the gaps to bridge the sentimental divides and knock
down the perennial walls of differences in doctrinal conflicts.
xix.
We know that it is possible to get all
intelligent people to agree to and share an international concept provided it
appeals to reason and arrests the interest of literate citizens of the global
community who feel concerned. Our integrational spiritual fellowship, hereafter
referred to as ISF, is based on scientific principles that obey all natural
laws in creation. You, too, can contribute your altruistic quota to the
consolidation of this brand of interdisciplinary, inter-racial and
inter-devotional organisation. Any bright formulation is welcome provided it
meets the basic requirements stated above as summarised by our scientific
formula.
xx. You may refer to us as the UNAID, UNICEF, UNO or WHO of all known,
registered and yet to be registered religions. We are, in a real sense, the
meeting/melting point of all belief-systems. Every rationalist is welcome! If
you appreciate what we stand for, communicate with us today. Don’t postpone or
procrastinate.
Historians inform us that
Christopher Columbus actually set out to discover another route to India Americas
Today, the Panama Canal has made it possible to access the Eastern
Regions of the World while travelling continuously to the west! Inventors,
Discoverers and occasionally, religious leaders emerge from obscure communities
of despised nations to beam supernatural light and divine wisdom of the
Creator!
CHAPTER 10:
LECTURES FROM THREE UNIVERSITIES
i
We now come to the basics of nature study. Have you ever observed
soldier ants on the march? It will definitely be difficult for those of us who
did not grow up in a rural community or in a farm! For such persons, their
elementary biology textbooks will suffice. All they need do is revise what they
learnt in secondary school about social
insects or look up that title in an encyclopaedia or browse the Internet.
ii.
In either case, what they will learn is
that these small insects are so well organised that it is a wonder why we, the
so-called ‘Homo sapiens sapientes’ are so disorganised. Why do we need the
police force to beat us into line, whereas these minute insects do not step out
of line nor try to do another insect’s duty?
iii.
They have specialists for any and every
problem they group will ever encounter while they are on any march. Pity
yourself, if you interrupt their movement. By the time they swarm around you
and sink their jaws into your exposed skin area, you will feel so much pain
that next time you will not only fear to cross their path, but you will dread
and avoid any other insects that resemble them! Why?
iv.
These little creatures have soldier
ants with larger mandibles specialised for aggressive actions against any
intruder and their duty it is to fight and protect the group. And their job
ends there. They do not interfere in other duties like reproductive activities
or in feeding the younger ones in the group. We have copied that much, but do
our own soldiers mind their duty only?
v.
There, is an important lesson for us
humans to learn! A little common sense is all that we need to learn only one
trade, specialise in it, be proud of it and not interfere in other people’s
professions! But this rarely happens in the social organisation of mankind, yet
we claim to be ‘the lord of the material universe’.
vi.
Or shall we take lectures from another
university? This time, from honeybees? Read all you can about this other social
insect that even has a language communicated by a dance ritual. It is wonderful
how minute beings out-class us in organising their little worlds. They eschew
in- fighting. Rather they co-operate so well that their hives are always
peaceful until man, the selfish scavenger intrudes to harvest where he never
sowed, namely their honey that we steal in order to please our tongues!
vii.
Again, they are so specialised that
only one queen and a king may be found in each community at a time. Unlike what
obtains in our human world, where we fight to establish supremacy! How many
kings, queens, presidents, chairmen/women and traditional or religious rulers
do we have? Are we ready to serve, take orders and obey even our own
constitutions? Yet we pride ourselves as ‘Homo sapiens’!
viii.
Visit web sites and learn how the
honeybee communicates to the members of the hive that it has found nectar,
either nearby or faraway. It is amazing, especially when one realises that they
never learn these things. They are born with the peculiar knowledge of the
waggle or straight dance. Scientists call this ‘species-specific’ behaviour,
thereby indicating that they are born with the information stored in their
memory and they must willy-nilly manifest them at the appropriate developmental
stages of their lifecycles.
ix.
The inquisitive minds will at once want
to find out whether human infants have anything that resembles this. The answer
is an affirmative YES! So the next natural question that follows is what
happened to the human infant. You want an answer? Are you really that
inquisitive or you want to behave like your species of proud apes?
x.
You will have to wait till we have
received tutorials from another university of nature, the termite colony! You
must do yourself this favor. Don’t believe me, nor trust the information you
surf from the Internet. Go out there, into the fields and have a firsthand
experience of these data that biologists have spent years documenting so as to
spoon-feed our infants at schools. That may also explain to you how and why
human beings, are the laziest and craziest veterbrates in existence.
xi.
The termites are the greatest engineers
in the universe! That you doubt me fades into insignificance when you compare
their anthill, structure weight for weight with their bodies. Our skyscrapers
are nothing wonderful if we recognise that these minute ants don’t use mechanical
machines to assist them in the construction work, nor do they use building
plans scaled and drafted by architects!
xii.
Again, what happens inside the termite
palace is another natural wonder! The social organisation, though absurdly
hierarchical, commands our respect! There is specialisation, not only in body
structures, but also in the roles and duties each ant plays for the mutual
benefit of the community.
xiii.
That, precisely, is the point I am
trying to emphasise. We, humans need to send our politicians to these anthill
universities scattered all over the globe, to learn public administration! For
as long as we allow mediocres to manage the affairs of any nation all in the
name of political patronage, for so long shall the masses bear the brunt of
their bungling of the administrative apparatus of the state.
xiv.
It does no one good to function as a
Minister of Health with credentials in engineering or even business
administration! I am sorry for developing countries that waste their little
resources by so doing. My opinion is
that they must learn to put square pegs in square holes and round ones in round
holes! They need these tutorials from termites, honeybees and soldier ants!
xv.
My dear reader, are you following my
trend of meditation? What of in our individual homes, kindreds and villages?
Should fathers, mothers and children not take notes of lessons from these
insects? My emphatic answer is a capital YES! What a mess is made of family
life and peace by parents who throw their weight all round the place, all in the
name of stamping their authority and exacting immediate obedience from everyone
around!
xvi. Let’s quote an example to illustrate my point; “Apart from the reproductives,
all castes are sterile and wingless and have whitish bodies, Typically, the
workers constitute the most numerous caste and are the smallest of the adult
forms. Workers build and provision the nest, tend the eggs, and feed and groom
all the other inmates of the community.”
xvii.
“ All species have soldiers with
greatly enlarged heads. The soldiers of certain species are equipped with huge
jaws for defence of the colony; in some species, the soldiers have long snouts,
from which they eject a sticky, poisonous substance to envelop an enemy and
render it helpless.”
xviii. Do you see what I mean? They owe their efficiency to dedication to duty
despite the fact that they do not enjoy the basic rights of all other animals,
namely the joy of sexual intercourse. May be I should have said ‘mainly because
they do not indulge in the time-consuming and diversionary sexual copulation’
that is the genesis of distraction and depravity in the human species. Do you
get my gist?
xix.
The rivalry and competition to attract
and please the opposite sex is the bane of all in-fighting animals on earth, be
it in higher or lower creatures, the unicellular or multicellular forms of all
animate beings. In olden days, and in some cultures to date man-made eunuchs
exist and perform their duties more religiously than our so-called priests and
nuns!
xx.
The radical position being canvassed
for by this writer for a wiser society is this: ‘It is time for selective social
engineering, genetical selection and specialisation of men and women!’
Reproductive activities must be controlled to reduce defective babies as well
as the over -production of a generation of human beings with a very high load
of defective genes! You may scream ‘Tufia-kwa!’
or curse in any other dialect or language ‘God forbid this!’ But only time will
tell whether the recommendation is completely anathema! For now, most religions
of the Far East and the Catholic Church do not
think I am crazy!

Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez,
The Animator International of I. S. M.
A KENEZIAN RESUME
I
have humbly stated what I was inspired to write to benefit rational beings that
deserve to approach the Almighty Creator as bona-fide creations of His
universe. We were neither consulted nor were there when He made all of us;
however we are all heirs to the mutual benefits derivable by utilising his
gifts maximally devoid of racism and religious bigotry.
Here is the genesis of the call which I
received as early as 1981 after the Guyana Mass suicide of Rev. Jones and his
followers. I wrote a magazine article on the event and followed it up with a
comprehensive analysis of remote and immediate causes of religious
psychopathology for my Ph.D. dissertation, which I entitled; THE
PSYCHOPATHOLOGY OF RELIGIOUS FANATICISM, but it did not impress my supervisors.
They rejected it on the lame excuse that the psychological test I was
developing to evaluate subjects for the research work was lengthy and could
alone constitute a major research proposal I could never finish in three years!
They were right! They were my revered Consultants and Professors in
Psychological Medicine. I acquiesced and subsequently went ahead to re-write my
proposal and so ended up writing a belated dissertation that they watered down
to; PERSONALITY ADJUSTMENT AND RELIGION. Over the years, I have written over
fifty-five articles on how the whole world could adopt one mode of worship of
the Creator and save humanity from the religious bigotry, ethnic cleansing,
wars and homicide associated with crusades and jihads. For, as far I was
concerned, we are of the same anatomy/physiology, we reproduce in the same
manner having same blood chemistry and die in similar circumstances. Therefore,
inter-religious genocides were and will remain fratricidal campaigns led by
fanatical, mystical or demented leaders with misconceived religious military
campaigns as the panacea for the unification of faith. I have a better option,
so that is why I have introduced you to its foundation clauses of I.S.M. a.k.a.
Kenezianism, which is this;
“A well-known
speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200,
he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He
said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do
this”. He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who
still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he
replied, "what if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all
crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went
into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease
in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped,
crumpled and grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make and the
circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no
matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in
God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to Him.” That is ISM or
KENEZIANISM in practice!
THE YOUNG NUCLEAR FAMILY WHEN THE DICTATIONS ENDED
I hope you cherishED thOse words of wisdom
of an Unknown Author as I did when I first read it AND LEARN TO PRAY LIKE THE
TEEENAGE KING SOLOMON IN YOUR BIRTH SUIT AT MIDNIGHT AND ASK FOR A TEA SPOONFUL
OF WHAT HE GOT, YOU WILL GET IF YOU ARE SINCERE AND WORSHIP OUR ALMIGHTY CREATOR IN SPIRIT & IN TRUTH !
