CLARITY is the primary tool for RULE 1. When you’re clear about anything, you have achieved a state of transparency that frees you from the agendas of others. Clarity produces power in you by providing you with a compass that supports your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, actions, words, and reactions. This compass gives you a sense of alignment, which is impossible without clarity. When your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, actions, words, and reactions are aligned, you become a magnet for whatever you focus on. This is empowerment that comes from a laser-beam focus. So, eliminate self-sabotaging mindsets that represent slavery to victimhood and other attitudes that have been perpetuated in our systems and consciousness. Do it for you.

Nature hates a vacuum...so create one and allow life to fill the gap with something more worthy of you. We can get so accustomed to holding on to...a non-functioning relationship; a dysfunctional habit; a phone that doesn’t work as it should; a job that stifles our creativity; friends who fear our growth...that we hold on to what no longer serves us just because we believe that holding on shows character and loyalty... when sometimes it only reflects fear and a lack of self-worth. Be willing to give it up and create a vacuum. Many of us live in beautiful prisons. Any job, person, or activity that prevents you from living in tune with your higher self, is a potential prison. But there are no absolutes. Sometimes, it’s just a pretty inconvenience, and often it’s just a pretty nothing. We are not always defined by what we have and keep. Sometimes, we are defined by what we let go, shed, leave, think less about, wake up from, rise up to...“Wake Up And Live...” says Marley. Live Up. LIVE Out. Every day is a new opportunity to choose what’s worth keeping and what must be thrown away before it’s too late. CLARITY COMES WITH

    “Loneliness is a destroyer of humanity” and “The agony of solitary confinement is like being buried alive”, are only some of the thoughts of inmates placed in solitary confinement.

  • A History Of Dehumanization In Elie Wiesel's Night

    1308 Words  | 3 Pages

    We have been given a multitude of chances to take the lessons of our ancestors in stride and better ourselves from their experiences, but instead we choose to neglect our lessons and relapse into a society fueled by hatred. The act of dehumanization has been an ongoing reoccurrence throughout our tarnished history. It may change, and evolve into new levels of hatred. It has no bias; it will choose its victims between race, sex, social levels and many other faucets that most of us are born into. In short, the historical lessons of this course have taught me that if we wish to provide a better future for not only our generation but also the generations that are to follow us, then we must change the way that we treat others who are different than us. The best way we can achieve this goal is to learn from the lessons that have been so prevalent throughout our

  • Racial Inequality Essay

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...black women have to work multiple part time low wage jobs to survive and provide for her family. Two methods that we can use to solve the problem of social inequality: getting off the path of least resistance and stand up, dare to make people uncomfortable. These two kind of go hand in hand. Starting with getting off the path of least resistance, it can be as simple as not laughing a racist, homosexual, and gendered joke. Getting off the path of least resistance will interrupt the natural flow and begin to make change. When someone makes a joke of that nature, speak up and make them feel uncomfortable by challenging the way they think. It may seem as though little actions such as these will do absolutely nothing but over time I think it’ll begin to affect more and more people. Being uncomfortable is part of change it helps people grow individually and as a society.

  • Inhumanity of Solitary Confinement in America

    Imagine. You are alone with your thoughts. There is nothing that can separate you from their unpredictable horrors because you spend 23 hours a day completely alone. In silence you wait, desperate for a chance to leave the four-walled, concrete cell you now call home. These are the conditions of solitary confinement that are still in widespread use throughout America today. Although solitary confinement may seem like the safest way to protect other prisoners, guards and even the inmate himself, it is an inhumane and cruel punishment and it has the opposite effect of what prisons are intended for. .

  • Prison System : Solitary Confinement

    1338 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout life we all live through moments that change who we are; mentally, physically and psychologically. These moments can be, huge and defining or something as small as whether we leave our house or just stay home on a certain day. For some, we find ourselves looking back, and not even realizing the power of the decision we made and how it brought us to who we are now. For others, the decisions we made lead to obvious outcomes. A prime example of this is a criminal. Though, he or she might not have known or thought they would get caught, the acts they voluntarily proceeded in, are illegal and the one and only future they ultimately have is jail or prison. Within the prison system, criminals are faced with these same decisions, but the punishment will have much more detrimental effects than any other decision: solitary confinement. This brings me to my main point. Contrary to many may think, it is not just a myth that solitary confinement can and will have extremely detrimental psychological and social effects on any human being, criminal or not.

  • Inside The Gouverneur Correctional Facility

    994 Words  | 2 Pages

    Through two metal, cold doors, I was exposed to a whole new world. Inside the Gouverneur Correctional Facility in New York contained the lives of over 900 men who had committed felonies. Just looking down the pathway, the grass was green, and the flowers were beautifully surrounding the sidewalks. There were different brick buildings with their own walkways. You could not tell from the outside that inside each of these different buildings 60 men lived. On each side, sharing four phones, seven showers, and seven toilets. It did not end there, through one more locked metal door contained the lives of 200 more men. This life was not as beautiful and not nearly as big. Although Gouverneur Correctional Facility was a medium security prison, inside this second metal door was a high wired fence, it was a max maximum security prison. For such a clean, beautifully kept place, it contained people who did awful, heart-breaking things.

When the prison system was first established, the possibilities in rehabilitation were nothing like they are today. They could make prisoners go to daily consueling, have small groups, write in journals, plant flowers…maybe even go to yoga classes or have meditation time so that they could become one with their inner spirits and realize the error of their ways.

  • Oppression In Assata

    1422 Words  | 3 Pages

    In schools, Blacks are instructed in history classes the role of the slaves in America; nevertheless, slaves are perceived as powerless and submissive. Shakur like many others grew up believing slaves were inferior beings to Whites. For example, “I had grown up believing the slaves hadn’t fought back. I remember feeling ashamed when they talked about slavery in school. The teachers made it seem that Black people had nothing to do with the official ‘emancipation’ from slavery. White people had freed us” (Shakur, 175). The method of teaching slavery in America is intended to suppress Blacks and emphasize on their “inferiority” to Whites, resulting in low-self esteem for Blacks. Students are left with the notion of slavery being consensual and beneficial to both parties, despite the agony slaves were subjected to. Assata states, “Many of us have misconceptions about Black history in amerika. What we are taught in the public school system is usually inaccurate, distorted, and packed full of outright lies” (176). American history is altered and fabricated to maintain White supremacy and alienate Blacks from gaining confidence of their African history. Through inaccurate teachings of Black American history, Blacks’ self esteem is belittled and their confidence is reduced. History is restrained to preserve racism and

It is very clear, Schomburg realized the importance of being knowledgeable on your true history. “History must restore what slavery took away, for it is the social damage of slavery that the present generations must repair and offset”. Therefore, I acquiesce with such statement, it is up to the present generation to fight, and to aspire on restoring what was taken away.
