The greatest of all riches in the universe is the golden knowledge of self. As a race of people, we are entering into a very crucial and decisive period in earth's history. The signs of the times point to the fact that a major change is about to take place in the world, and the critical question is shall we perish or shall we go on to victory? One of the things, among the many we must examine, is the celebration of European holidays. Black People must ever keep in mind that these holidays are tributes to Euro-American Nationalism, that is white-nationalism. Generally, holidays have a special political and cultural significance, in short they are institutions of the mind and as such can be and most often are used as control mechanisms. One of the sacred purposes of this series is to help redeem and safe-guard us from "Mental Genocide" - that is to say mind destruction; by showing the other side of the coin, the other side of the moon, if you will.
