Amen, Amen, oh righteous servants of God. And of course Alhamdulillah , unveiling the depth of the knotting of the world is merely impossible without the grace of Allah.
Thank you very much, Alex, for the great work you are doing. As I read those undebatable questions, my heart marks the spirit of the righteous generations upholding those testimonies with you. Furthermore, the quote, “Your identity is perhaps their greatest weapon,” is not merely a possibility but indeed the truth. Oh Allah, here we are riding with Eros, and by the time of Your decree, we shall soon prevail!
By Allah! By standing, bearing witness and speaking up in the face of this monstrosity, Allah has granted us a victory. The victory of nobility. If our stand is arrayed before our ancestors I am sure they will sat, ‘I am from them and they are from me!’
I have seen that winning and victories are many, once we let it go and act as best we can, in the circumstances that stand over us. Alhamdulillah unveiling the depth of the knotting of the world is a battle that is the precursor to the great unknotting. The servant is the master of mankind, and may Allah make service our crown and wisdom, compassion and generosity our core, such that Eros overflows when we are near.
Yes for the chaos is patterned by the Divine Hand and it is the hidden sinew of the Hand that Creates.
“If after this you still think that paying your mortgage, doing your job, being a good citizen, living green and voting in the next election is going to get us out of this mess, then we are locked in the lunatic asylum, without a key! “🔑
I think there are rare people who can lead us through this : maybe through a collective consciousness pushing the narrative along somehow. Your writing is especially powerful and contributes to the lifting of more veils. WHAT we do is another matter, but I guess with this mental clarity of the collective pushes through micro-changes, like we’ve seen with environmental issues. It’s slow then suddenly there are changes everywhere.
I agree with much of what you say, thank you and I see that you have hope. Thank you. I look forward to our engagement to solving our own problems and turning away from the insanity of the state. Our heroines and heroes will inevitably arise but until we commit to our radical reclamation of our radical responsibility, we probably won't be able to recognise them!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. The videos were definitely enriching - loving the inclusion indigenous rites of passage and of rock anthems! Also the newsletter ties in with some thoughts I've been recently having following a conversation I had with a 15 year old who is interested in history but scoffed at the idea of reading up on Congolese history. She didn't understand why she should bother. I actually started writing up my thoughts on it and how modern education system is stunting creative thinking and curiosity and failing our children.
Thank you for your appreciation and support. Yes because according to the doctrine of standardisation, they are just bad copies of us! It kills curiosity and appreciation of difference and the courage to encounter it. Those places are the places of chaos, they have no history for history and order lie in order with the gods of order and we must cast them into us with discipline so that they have order and the chaos gods leave them.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the diagnosis, those were mine.
Yes I agree. I think this is why communities need to create and foster their own spaces for education. I remember reading that this was the case with Caribbean communities of parts of London in the 80s and before - Akala said this was the reason why he was so much more articulate and clued on compared with other children. But discipline and strategy is definitely needed for this sort of 'radical' educational shift.

I love reading your posts, they are so rich and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing this incredible piece.
From you this is praise indeed! Thank you! You know that I await your newsletter and it’s radical honesty and interrogation! Thank you Nadia!

Boom 💥
Yup!!
I wrote that and thought, ‘Oww!’. But this is where we are.
Truth hurts though. 👌✊
How else will we be moved to seriously reevaluate?
