Dianetics: A Weekend of Healing at Mosque Maryam

A Weekend of Healing at Mosque Maryam
Minister Farrakhan on Scientology

CHICAGO (FinalCall.com) - The Nation of Islam opened the doors of its international headquarters to the public for a weekend of healing through its life repair seminar on June 29-30.

The gathering stemmed from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s desire to share a tool that helps promote healing: Dianetics.

Dianetics was created by Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and addresses the reasons for stress, depression and anxiety. It helps people uncover and deal with subconscious negative emotions and reactions.

***********
Word of wisdom and explanation

Min. Farrakhan dismissed criticism by naysayers upset over the Nation of Islam using techniques from Scientology for the benefit of Black people and the world. He said he isn’t upset and doesn’t mind criticism that comes from misunderstanding.

“As the Qur’an says, unfortunately, you are a people that dispute without knowledge,” Min. Farrakhan said, during his July 1 Mosque Maryam address titled, “All Is Vanity.”

“The critics are saying, ‘Farrakan’s talking all this Black talk and went over to this White man, L. Ron Hubbard ... I am you. I haven’t changed my religion. You know all the prophets taught us to seek truth from the cradle to the grave and wherever knowledge is, you should seek to be a possessor of it,” Min. Farrakhan said.

He asked audience members with degrees to raise their hands. He then asked if all their teachers were Black. “No sir!” some replied.

“You mean to tell me you sat in a class with a White professor and got you a degree and now you’re working for White people? Getting a salary? Did you ask your teacher, ‘How many times have you called Black people n----r?’ ”

“So it didn’t matter what religion that person was, what race or ethnic group they belonged to because you didn’t go there to join their ethnic group or to condemn them for being White or Asian or Hispanic or Black. You went there to get some knowledge to help you be better at what you wanted to do with your life,” Min. Farrakhan said.

Black suffering is worse than any other ethnic group’s because Blacks have been deprived of self knowledge and suffered unspeakable acts during enslavement by their slave masters, Min. Farrakhan said.

Though Blacks bury the pain, inside of their heads are impediments to their human development and progress, he explained.

*******

The Minister found value in the auditing and teaching of Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics.

“The auditing process brings (negative experiences) up and it’s like bringing up demons out of us and just as this book Bible says, that was the work of Jesus. How can you say you love Jesus the Christ when he was an excorcizer of demons out of the people?” Min. Farrakhan rhetorically asked.

Dianetics auditing brings personal demons from unconsciousness into consciousness so they can be eliminated and people can make a better future for themselves, Min. Farrakhan explained.

“How could I see something that valuable and know the hurt and sickness of my people and not offer it to them?” he asked.

Natural Hair Will NEVER Die!

Black hairstyles: Do women with natural hair still face employment discrimination?

From Clutch Magazine: The natural hair movement among African Americans has experienced resurgence, as evidenced by the many YouTube videos, blogs, and products created to aid in grooming unprocessed hair, or what is at times called nappy or virgin hair. Natural hair has been constructed as radical, extreme, and unkempt, despite the fact that a natural hairstyle simply means wearing our hair the way it grows out of our head, without the addition of harmful chemicals. This natural aesthetic should on its face be unproblematic, but because whiteness has an ongoing interest in policing our bodies, many have found the decision not to relax their hair, or cut it into a short style, has lead to negative results. In a market in which all must sell their labor for profit, this decidedly limits the options of people of color, who at times must choose between being true to themselves or conforming to racist and other appearance standards.
