How To Dismantle The Racial Hierarchy VI: Resolution.

The Love Is The Life Breath Within Us

The Love. Photo By Author.

Oh, the absurdity of ranking and judging the value of human souls by the colour of their encapsulating bodies.

According to scientist, the bodies where our souls reside had a 1 in 400 trillion chance of entering into this life.

Take a moment or two to ponder that. The odds of you existing to read these words is far less than the chance of being struck by lightening (about 1 in 700k). At birth, each of us have already won a 1 in 400 trillion chance lottery.

You ARE a miracle. Your presence here is truly miraculous.

So why did our souls “win” this lottery to occupy these bodies to live this life?

Were we born to have our bodies placed in a hierarchical arrangement?

Whenever scientists attempt to quantify human life by reducing it to statistical data, is this practice nothing more than an empirical analysis of the life-force that permeates the human soul?

And what about our souls; what colour are they? What is the colour of your human soul? What is the colour of your spiritual soul?

What is the colour of the life-force energy permeating your human soul?

And if your answer is that the life-force of the soul has no colour and is only confined by bodies that do have colour, then are we challenged to see past our bodies and to love our souls?

If the ultimate challenge is to see past our bodies and love our collective human souls, then we regress as we age, don’t we?

For we only seem capable of loving, unconditionally, the collective human soul, as children.

child is born with a heart of gold, way of the world makes this heart so cold” (EWF, 1975).

So why do we insist on perpetuating an evil that turns the heart?

That Kumbaya moment is fast approaching. Climate change alone will ensure that. You can deny climate change all you want but last time I checked, Houston, Texas had a more difficult winter than New York City. This is a “what’s wrong with this picture” moment. Something is amiss. Are forces greater than our collective bodies trying to tell us something?

The human need to dismantle this omnipresent evil called the Racial Hierarchy will determine our survival on this planet.

And for those who are so predisposed, be forewarned that the Atlas Shrugged ending of a survivors utopia for the richest 1% following global annihilation is fodder for fools; note that the agent responsible for the demise of dinosaurs was not selective. We are all in this crises of humanity, together.

In this final installment of How To Dismantle The Racial Hierarchy, attention turns to initiation from resolution; the beginning of the end of the Racial Hierarchy through sustained global discourse.

This process has already begun. The tension in the air explains it.

The spine of white supremacy is the Racial Hierarchy. Breaking the spine demands a paradigm shift in the global vernacular and corresponding consciousness driven by a public health initiative that leads to policy.

In 2020, we saw elected American officials, for the first time, call attention to racism as a public health crises . If racism is now touted as a public health problem of significant consequence, then racism should be diagnosed and treated as a form of mental health impairment.

Intersecting mental health, revamped for the 21st century, with corresponding governance, economics, education and treatment, dismantles the Racial Hierarchy; legislation and policy would mirror a world where anyone who self-identifies or identifies others in terms of “race” as a social construct, would be considered psychologically unstable.

A “Racial Holy Grail” for policymakers does not exist. Any thesis or approach that regurgitates constructs from a pathological framework to cure inequities caused by the same 400-year-old pathology will not dismantle the pathology. These attempts are palliative at best and at worst, a discarded fad.

The magnitude of this task is far too excessive for any single nation, let alone an individual, and it is proposed that this effort occur by special session and assigned committee through the United Nations with laser focus on model development.

While this may appear to speak to a future horizon, rapidly shifting demographics, dwindling resources and the urgency for international cooperation to counter the threat to human survival posed by Global Warming, makes this future much closer than most seem to realize.

Dismantling the Racial Hierarchy cannot be accomplished by one book, a series of essays, films, pundit topics, legislation, or even elections. It is accomplished through sustained global attention, discourse and effort; it bears repeating, the survival of the human race depends on it.

As a world community we must think about it, talk about it, write about it, lecture and educate about it, implement our knowledge about it, recognize it as a viable mental health issue and indulge a professional mental health focus on the human identity. The Racial Hierarchy must be defined and revealed, exposed and outed; everyone in the room must see it. It must be bull-horned from the religious pulpit and taught as a vile error of human development throughout academic curricula.

The Racial Hierarchy is the product of greed, power and control. It was created as the tool to manipulate a state of contrived ignorance. It is responsible for human on human mayhem; wars, genocide, homicide, economic and social disparity; a global state of perverted psychological functioning reinforced through operant conditioning.

The Racial Hierarchy operates in silence. It’s like the router in your space; everything channels through it and it is the life or death of your digital world, but how often do you think about it? You can have the finest computer in the world but how well does it operate without a healthy router?

The manipulative power of the Racial Hierarchy was on full worldwide display on January 6, 2021 at the United States Capitol. Despite the advent of civil rights legislation, and 8 years of an American President of colour, its perseverance has not diminished.

The Racial Hierarchy remains the centerpiece of global chaos due to elusive features that render it unfocused to the point of attack. Like those old Invisible-Man movies, its mischievous presence saturates the room while, at the same time, evading a recognition comparable to its tangible harm. Its outstanding timeline of survival serves as proof of this searing certainty; human nature tends to draft appeals toward its symptoms, never its existence. As a result, we embrace the Racial Hierarchy daily, unaware that it is the unspoken sin that robs us all of our most precious quality … our humanity.

This series of papers defined the Racial Hierarchy, its language, its nature, its manipulative power, its impact on mental health, and now, albeit brief, the pathway toward its demise.

It should be emphasized that dismantling the Racial Hierarchy does not render one colorblind. Rather, dismantling the Racial Hierarchy, restores humanity. It enables human relationships defined by an organic identity over a manufactured man-made contortion created to de-humanize.

In this process of dismantling, it is imperative that we understand the language of the Racial Hierarchy. Race (generic) is not a social construct, its proper place is anthropologic and forensic science. But it has been removed from this arena of legitimate science and placed on a pseudo-scientific artificial construct; a “racial” hierarchy.

We are witnessing the anthropologic “racial” anchors of human differences, gradually becoming extinct.

Oh happy day.

Questions to ponder, from this soul to yours:

What is the colour of your soul? What ‘race’ is it? And if your soul is neither defined by race nor colour but as the essence of life-force energy itself, then is your body nothing more than a residence for the soul? Or do you feel that your body defines your soul? Are you of the belief that “racial purity” is defined by the body the soul resides in? Or do you believe that the body containing your soul is 'multiracial’? If so, what is the colour of your soul?

How you answer will determine the karma of your life.
