*Newly Uploaded* - THE HARVEST IS SEPARATED, ALL BUNDLES SET IN THEIR PLACES "Beloved ones, I search the hearts and minds, even the innermost thoughts I know; even from the foundation of the world did I know each one of you, setting you in your place from the beginning. Yet some will say, “What of free will and our right to choose?” To these I say: You have chosen, and the will of your heart has spoken, and thus were you bundled and prepared. For I know My own."

From YahuShua HaMashiach, Our Lord and Savior ✉️

THE HARVEST IS SEPARATED, ALL BUNDLES SET IN THEIR PLACES - "The Bride is chosen..."

"Thus says The Lord: By My prophets have I made My plans known. Yet that which I am about to do is done already, and shall be. And that which I have spoken from the beginning, even to this day, is true. For the will of God can not be broken, even as The Scriptures. And if My every word is Scripture, then how shall even one word fail? Yet My people fall away, and My little flock grows smaller still. For they seek to loosen these bonds in an attempt to flee this bundle. For the Way of The Lord is not known among them, and My words have ceased from being a blessing. And so they flee back into the world in an attempt to escape, as in all times past, for they have no root. Yet I tell you the truth, none shall escape their bundle. For all bundles lie in the field already, each one tied securely and set in its place. Therefore as one attempts to flee this bundle, the truth of the matter is made plain. For they have not departed at all, but remain in the bundle in which I had placed them at the first. I AM THE LORD.

Beloved ones, I search the hearts and minds, even the innermost thoughts I know; even from the foundation of the world did I know each one of you, setting you in your place from the beginning. Yet some will say, “What of free will and our right to choose?” To these I say: You have chosen, and the will of your heart has spoken, and thus were you bundled and prepared. For I know My own.

Thus the Bride is chosen; My blood runs through her veins,  My image is shown upon her face...

Behold, the light of My coming is reflected  In her eyes, for I have captured her gaze, And she will by no means look away  Or seek after another...

Therefore some are plucked from  The world already, and shall also be taken; They shall surely be gone from this place!...

Says The Lord."

#OctaviaTriedToTellUs

Afrofuturist writer #OctaviaButler's 1993 novel #ParableOfTheSower predicted chaos, devastating #climatechange, inequality, space travel and ‘Make America great again.' The story begins with teenager #LaurenOlamina's first journal entry dated Saturday, July 20, 2024:

Chapter One

All that you touch You Change.

All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth Is Change.

God Is Change.

-Earthseed: The Books of the Living

SATURDAY, JULY 20, 2024

I had my recurring dream last night. I guess I should have expected it. It comes to me when I struggle- when I twist on my own personal hook and try to pretend that nothing unusual is happening. It comes to me when I try to be my father's daughter.

Today is our birthday-my fifteenth and my father's fifty-fifth. Tomorrow, I'll try to please him-him and the community and God. So last night, I dreamed a reminder that it's all a lie. I think I need to write about the dream because this particular lie bothers me so much.

I'm learning to fly, to levitate myself. No one is teaching me. I'm just learning on my own, little by little, dream lesson by dream lesson. Not a very subtle image, but a persistent one. I've had many lessons, and I'm better at flying than I used to be. I trust my ability more now, but I'm still afraid. I can't quite control my directions yet.

I lean forward toward the doorway. It's a doorway like the one between my room and the hall. It seems to be a long way from me, but I lean toward it. Holding my body stiff and tense, I let go of whatever I'm grasping, whatever has kept me from rising or falling so far. And I lean into the air, straining upward, not moving upward, but not quite falling down either. Then I do begin to move, as though to slide on the air drifting a few feet above the floor, caught between terror and joy.

Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler | Survival Meets Spirituality Book Review

[afamafrofuturism23]

Parable of the Sower

Two real-life issues that are pushing me to want to create my Earthseed community are mass shootings, specifically school shootings, and the erasure of Black history and culture from the school curriculum. School shootings have unfortunately affected thousands of innocent students, teachers, and staff worldwide, for decades, however, within the past 2 or 3 years, it appears as if the occurrence of these events has become more and more common. The erasure of Black history and culture in textbooks and school curricula prevents the next generation of leaders and innovators from understanding the full scope of how the world they are living in came to be, without talking about things like slavery, Jim Crow laws, critical race theory, and other related topics, they will not have the opportunity to learn about the history of their ancestors in school.

“The only lasting truth Is Change. God Is Change.”

In order to see a different set of results, something that will allow us to live in a safer environment, to do well in life, and to overall be the best versions of ourselves, we must be willing to make changes in our lives.

We should never block our blessings, so if there is any chance we could have a better end result, we should work toward making changes to live that happier and better life, we all aspire to have for ourselves and our families.

“Civilization is to groups what intelligence is to individuals. It is a means of combining the intelligence of many to achieve ongoing group adaptation.”

In order to have a successful new community, we must be willing to work together to support each other in any way possible. One man alone can not do everything, so we must be willing and able to work together in order to promote change and work toward incorporating a change to put an end to the toxic cycle that has claimed the lives of many and prevented many from knowing parts of their true ancestral history. I will create my Earthseed community on a fictional island called “Togetherland”. This place will allow us to be separated from the remainder of society that chooses that they do not want to change the way in which they live or are being indirectly controlled by the “big powers” in society. Being on this island will allow us to have our own space we call home, where all the residents abide by the same “rules” and beliefs, but it also allows for some interaction to be held with the others on the main island that is not a part of our community. Any Black or person of African descent is able to join our community. I feel that it is important to have a space in which we can continue to educate the offspring and generations to come about the true history of our people-going beyond what may have been taught in the textbooks. I do not think it would be beneficial to allow non-Black or African individuals to join, for there may not be much for them to offer to our community, and many within the community may feel threatened by their presence. The leadership model I envision is one that allows everyone in the community to have a voice in some way. I plan for the community to grow over time, so as it starts off small, I envision that the different parts (3) of our small island work with one leader that they elect to make decisions on their behalf. These 3 elected leaders will work together to lead the members of Togetherland into a greater and brighter future, one that does all it can to protect the lives of Black and African people at all costs. The new technology invention I plan to create and release is a device that travels in the water to and from a specific location and I will call it the iSeaTraveler. This device will allow people on the island to maintain communication with people on the main island that were unable to make a move with them. It will allow allows the elected leaders to keep up with major events, milestones, and things going on to ensure Togetherland does not “fall behind” as a progressively growing society.

We will survive by working for us, providing jobs for us, and having others that work with us look like us. I believe seeing each other in positions that allow us to be successful academically, personally, and professionally will really allow us to continue to foster the next generation of leaders and innovators.

Education is a key component of the creation of Togetherland, as it is important that we ensure our children are receiving the best education they can that teaches them the different perspectives of all the cultures, traditions and history of all people, not just the colonizers. In the developmental stages of the island, we will take applications for people looking to move into a community that fosters and supports them 100% in all aspects of life. We will survey their views and perspectives on many things including education and curriculum in addition to the living arrangements they are hoping to have (apartments, single-family homes, condos, etc). After intaking all the surveys and reviewing them, developers will create the appropriate living arrangements that remain affordable but also incorporate the feedback of the potential applicants (appliances, style of home, home layout, etc.). Allowing there to be affordable housing for all will ensure that the houseless population is minimal to nonexistent. An education that includes the implementation of a diverse curriculum ensures that the student is well-versed and knowledgeable about the different histories of important countries and world powers.

"Self is.

Self is body and bodily

perception. Self is thought, memory,

belief. Self creates. Self destroys.

Self learns, discovers, becomes.

Self shapes. Self adapts. Self

invents its own reasons for being.

To shape God, shape Self." - Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents (Earthseed, #2)

✍️🏾Caption reposted from Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture @nmaahc #OnThisDay [June 22] in 1947, award-winning science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler was born in Pasadena, California. Butler is regarded as the “Mother of Afrofuturism,” a cultural aesthetic residing at the intersection of African culture, technology, and futurism. ⁣

⁣

She believed that science fiction could play a role in inspiring technological, social, and political change in the real world. Her writing integrated the past with visions of the future, with narratives rooted in marginal, female, and African American vantage points. ⁣

⁣

Butler’s books are revered for their concise economy of language and convincing protagonists, many of whom are Black women. She used science fiction as a vehicle to address power dynamics, violence, survival, and the human experience. #HappyBirthdayOctavia #BecauseOfHerStory #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory #OctaviaEButler #BlackBrilliance #ParableOfTheTalents #ParableOfTheSower #Afrofuturism #BlackLit #ScienceFiction #GodIsChange #TraScapades #BlackArtists
