philosophy-of-praxis:

“The lord whose oracle is in Delphi [Apollo] neither speaks nor suppresses, but indicates.” - Heraclitus of Ephesus.

[Image depicts a woman on a brown stall. She’s wearing a long dress, umber in colour, with a red shawl which also drapes over her crossed legs. In her right hand she holds a bowl, in her left hand she holds a broken vine. She sits hunched over, eyes closed, inhaling fumes from a great crack in the ground, which runs underneath the golden clawed feed of her stool. The painting is titled Priestess of Delphi, by John Collier.]

"Life demands hardness. One must strive with a burning heart toward the ideal of hardness. To be hard..."

Mon, 06 May 2013 03:33:27 -0400

“Life demands hardness. One must strive with a burning heart toward the ideal of hardness. To be hard for the sake of life, to become a fighter, to win the victory. Our environment is a given. Burning heat in summer, biting cold in winter, long marches in the wet and cold. You should never give up in battle or work. Even if you fail a thousand times, you must make the thousand and first attempt. In the end it will succeed and you will be the victor, even if almost bled dry, almost faint, but filled with the triumphant knowledge of having overcome. You are victor in your struggle and victor over yourself.”

- Helmut Stellrecht, Glauben und Handeln. (Ein Bekenntnis der jungen Nation Franz Eher Nachf., 1943)

astronomy-to-zoology:

Black Heron

(Egretta ardesiaca)

also referred to as a black egret, the black heron is a wading bird of the family Ardeidae (herons) native to most bodies of water in southern Africa and Madagascar. They are a medium sized bird growing up to 66cm long, and true to their name thy have a jet black body with yellow legs. But the most interesting feature about these birds is not their plumage or size but their method of feeding which is called canopy feeding, where the bird uses it’s wings to create a sort of umbrella which shades the water under it which in turn attracts fish which the bird then eats

diasporicroots:

The Africans who Influenced early Europe.

(The Africans who Taught the Ancient Greeks & helped civilize Europe)

Anthony Anaxagorou (Poet/Writer) explains how Europe was greatly influenced by African Civilization and why this historical fact has been suppressed or denied by many in modern academia.

“One of the fundamental reasons why Europeans in general, European intelligentsia, scholars and academics, why they deny Africa their history, from ancient Egypt all the way through to the major empires from Mali and Kush, because of the fact that if you accept that these groups of people were responsible for your ascend into history, your ascend into what is known as civilization, then how the hell can you justify enslaving them. And that is part of the problem is the fact that you’ve enslaved, you’ve tortured, you’ve committed innumerable acts of genocide on the same people that put you in the position that you are scientifically, philosophically, academically, and culturally, and linguistically, whichever way you want to look at it.

naming something after one person is really quiet stupid…attributing one type of thinking to a certain man is very dangerous and illogical at the same time because everyone has read from someone, everybody studied another period, another part of humanity, another part of history to get to where they are, including Marx. Africa and China had the idea of democratic sharing for thousands of years before Marx and Engels decided to sit down and coin the term Communism.”

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 05:24:10 -0500

love is conditional

i never knew that mary

would put a hole in my fishing boat

i got to tripping more, she went to bitching more

the court of universal law said it wasnt permissible

she went to forte, i stayed pianissimo

then i went to forte then she went to physical

should i go?

should i stay and withstand

the additional attacks on the mental and the physical?

its gon get dangerous,

why waste time on these child like exchanges?

why waste time with these child like games,

its just make up to break up,

crying all the time baby

messing up your make up,

trying to scratch my face up

she say i need communication jay,

but you dont say much i know it aint okay

but im from where niggas keep they mouth closed

and the gates shut, it seems like only yesterday, i was just a kid

in christian dior velour, ballies, and a shape up

spinning on a cardboard, and trying to rip a break up

life comes at you fast, i went from sleeping in class

to sleeping in the streets, forgetting,

where i wake up, when i was hit with trial

i went into survival mode, and did a lot of shit

a nigga wasnt proud of, so when i be sitting

on the couch with a blank head,

i be at the homeless shelter, jefferson and bankhead,

a jack sippin dankhead, making sure niggas dont steal my clothes

tryna make a path so i could fulfill my goals

tryna take a bath so i could heal my soul

a little bit of laughter to conceal my woes

who gon save me?
