Pearls of Wisdom(Pardon My Language)

  Anybody knows me knows that after I came back from the black mans University, they would tell you that I changed. They would tell you that I wasn't the same to give you an example my street name went from Sha-poppin to Professor Sha. I learned so much while I was away I wanted to share it with my friends on the corner. When I would share information they would say things like "come on my nigga you on your professor Sha shit," or they might say "come on Sha with this Martin Luther X shit my g." I laughed because I understand the mentality of the people I was around. I didn't take it personal I understood I used to be there. I started looking at the world from a different perspective. I understood why the neighborhood I lived in was in the socioeconomic position it was in. I started to understand why my people thought the way they did. I learned not to take things to seriously and allow my emotions to supersede my intelligence.  The people that I was in the sandbox with playing with action figure, were the same people that distant themselves from me when I started to towards a different direction. I had a mentor I told him about the situation and the backlash I was getting from my friends. He explained to me you have to recognize pure wisdom, you have to recognize divine love, he said that is true superior power. The old me would of said man get out my face with that Phil Donahue nonsense. The new me would allow it to marinate and let the answer come to me so I can truly understand the meaning of what somebody is saying. I came to the conclusion when you look at everybody as  an aspect of light, or presence of god. Every person in the world is just another aspect of God, and God makes his presence known through your friends, families, and even your enemies. God thinks, speaks, and acts through all of them. I had to understand life is nothing more than aspects of polarity. When I was young I never liked people saying that I wasn't capable of something, so if they said I couldn't do anything that would give me more of an incentive to prove it. Don't allow people to take you out of your character. Understand everybody is not going to grow as fast as you grow, and everybody is not going to think like you do. Instead of getting upset or angry I left it to itself. Years later those same people came back telling me "yo man you was right son, I was whalling its like god sent you to tell me a message and I wasn't listening." This was after he did a 4 out of a 3-12 sentence for a manslaughter. So listen to those who are around you you never know what God is trying to tell you.
