99 names: 13: al Mussawir ii: the Shaper of Beauty ii


al Mussawir...ja na ta, man-red, who i intro as my cuzin, says in his language - navajo.

means, walking in beauty, he tells me. 

surrrender...the path of surrender, the path of surrendering to the Source of Peace (islam), is walking in beauty, is an opportunity to glimpse the Creation of al Mussawir...otherwise, labs and info...

babylonians love info. thats why we are confused all the time. thatts why we have so many breakdowns, and mental crises, to the point that they are norms, part of our culture - mid life crisis. 

the Shaper of Beauty holds no forum in the self-help section. the Shaper is found in the poetics of sky and earth, and ocean, and condensation, and fish, and fruits and corn, and purple cabbage...

but instead i'm walking through the self help isles, reading the latest craze on the latest revered idol of cullinary skills, herbalism, fad diet....babylon lovs their idols, because they, cause we, are falling apart at the seams, and have to get new jeans monthly to make up for existential crisis.

i've been having a mid life crisis since i started kindergarten, decades ago. it was just me pouting then, and then teeange angst, then reality bites, in my twenties...then...then...

instead of seeing al Mussawir, i was trying to learn and understand everything, cause i needed evidence, cause the babylon approach is to prove it. but  they don't

idol worship. we all fall into it. looking for a leader. looking for someone to believe in, because our cultures are labeled terror, cause real leaders are assasinated and hung, serving triple life.

idol - obama is an idol to many. peopple want someone to believe in. people saying he's been coming around, getting to be who he really is, in this last term...we pay attention to the detail, the arch of his brows, the frustration of his tone as he addresses the nation on yet another mass shooting...this is becoming redundant, he says...makes reference to the lax gun laws...

later that day...executive order to drop more bombs, drone more suspects in 5 different countries. the doctors without borders hospital in afghanistan was bombed. apoloigies sent, because it was wikileaked. two days later a u.s. military tank rams through it...

who are your leaders? what is the criteria for your leaders? are they people who are involved in acts of mass murder, who engage in mass-deceit, who tell you whatever you want to hear, but do otherwise? who are your leaders and why?

the beauty of al Mussawir needs no approval. the river jordan just is. the hudson knows where to go, and the gorges in ithaca have no parallell in man-made architecture. 

as i've been growing deeper in this path, truths reveal themselves. while studying nutrition, they've been talking about the importance of fasting. babylonian scientists are discovering this now. they've stabbed enough rats with stress hormones and then put them on fasts. they've paid enough desperate elders who are just longing for a touch, because babylon culture dscards their elders, to fasting diets, and then seeing what happens...

my babylon sistas, of all so-called races, seem to carry the same individual-driven spiritualism...you could keep it sis. 

spirituality is new age, and having crystals, and homeboy, the indian dude who hangs with oprah...oh yeah, deepak chopra...it's all about you...you, you, you...

somehow, all issues reside in you. regardless of what else is happening, none of it matters, it's all you. 

my learnings from the teachings of the Shape in the Beauty, is that everything is in divine syncopation, that the beauty of the stones and crystals come as not isolate pieces to be give horoscopic value to, but as deeply engaged in the community they were part of, for millenia...not just a rock that was already a crystal, that visited the mountain they were carved out of, like the strip of bars and restaurants and cafes everyone hangs out in for a minute, while its hot, and then bounce...on to the next...

in addition to shaping beauty for yourself, by recognizing that your body has been weaved by al Mussawir to be beautiful, just the way it is, not as the white standards of beauty, or the black mens magazines or the bollywood cinemas, define as beauty. they are equally babylon. white babylon, black babylon, brown babylon = babylon. 

in a culture of idol worship, worship of ego, of celebrity, of those who bow down to money and lust and power over others (which somehow translates to respect), al Mussawir gets lost. nature becomes a place for pharmaceutical, furniture, consturction-company, etc, giants. its a place for new age herbalists and ayurvedic and so-called traditional medicine practitioners to be experts of. 

you keep your expertise homie. keep your stage-loving-lusting god-complexes. while your on your mic, speaking to the wave of audience...i'm turned around, staring at the moon, finding my way back to the village elders, and staring and listening to what my next stage of life will be, from my pops, the way i used to for the cure, nas, johnny depp. i'm hanging on his every word, because i understand that his humility, my mothers humility is so alien and anathema, that it has to be exterminated, that it has be demonized and hacked, like pregnant mothers and babies in palestine.
