Transcript

We often 'think' we can control our future, even when we are swimming 'upstream' against the current. But, whenever we 'clear' our heads, detox our body's, get our 'thinking' back in-order, we start to 'float' along with current of life, effortlessly. 'Black August' gives me time to remind myself, about, my own personal power to gain balance again, re-gain physical, mental and emotional health again. Through fasting it makes me, take a 'new' look at myself, and re-connect to all of them, to see what things have 'invaded' my spirit. Evolution is something that's ongoing, daily. So there's a constant battle 'going' on inside of us, trying to 'pull us from, our 'natural ' selves, and take us to the 'artificial' self, where the 'outside' world can have us, where we become programmed to 'think', 'act' and 'behave' like we are instructed to. Then, we start competing against, our 'inside' force, that's telling-us, no, no, no 'wait', pause a moment, this is 'bad' for us, don't inject-it eat-it, smoke it or inhale it or, drink it; dispose of it: Yet which ever one is the strongest of the two competing forces will win. Either, so our 'outside' environment or our inside environment? Spiritual evolution will always find a way to strengthen our inside environment. Black August fasting provides me that chance to reconnect as I think about what those before me, had to think about. In order to stay fighting. What did 'George' and 'Jonathan' have to do to tap into, in order to become immune to the outside environment? What kinds of energy did 'Harriet Tubman' have to have, to keep goin? This information is missing from their stories and accounts. It is only found by 'daring' to sacrifice. Transcribed by: acadet, 2015-12-10
