MILLENNIUM REFLECTIONS By
28 December 2001
Dear African Brother/Sister Our generation is at a particularly depressing phase in the history of Africa. The situations of Africa and of Africans have never been as degrading as it is today in the annals of the world. It is a situation that this writer feels should call for more than a cursory attention from every African that still has the ability to think and reason. Dear friend, in every society and in every generation nature has always been kind to raise up men and women of vision in times of difficulty and calamity. The African race cannot be an exemption to this natural order of life. The pamphlet attached to this letter contains message of peace, love and freedom. The material, as designed, is expected to kindle in you the true light and fire of freedom. It is a limited circulation and it is meant for only those who are part of the revolution that is just about to begin in Africa.
Several sages across the globe prophesied about this moment when those in bondage shall be set free and when those in darkness shall see the light. Fortunately, Africa and Africans are in the vanguard of this revolution that will usher into planet earth this new age of enlightenment and freedom. There is no doubt in the minds of all objective observers that the African race has suffered in the hands of all other races of the world. Members of these other races have looked down on Africans as if they are indeed the true embodiment of the classic wretched of the earth. Whatever any race on earth thinks, this writer believes that the planet earth has been moving unceasingly and untroubled in a purposeful and ordained direction.
The history of all civilizations on earth testifies to the continuous reoccurrence of enlightenment in a particular set pattern. It seems each race on earth is given a time to bask in the light of heavenly wisdom. And when this heavenly light is shinning on any race, members of the race become exceedingly enlightened spiritually, proficiently brilliant in their thinking and very outstanding in all their undertakings. This has been the pattern of civilization since the recorded time from the Sumerians to the Egyptians to the Assyrians to the Chinese to the Greeks to the Romans to the Arabs and down to the British.
The rise, decline and fall of empires have also followed a similar pattern. This tends to confirm the relay race theory of racial progress. It is as if a particular race is selected to shine for a momentary period before their light is taken away and passed to another race. The older race as at the time its empire was in bloom would have looked down on the other races as if they were good for nothing or congenitally indolent. The defunct older race, at the peak of its reign, would have called the new progressive race primitive, uncivilized or barbaric. The Greek said the same of the Romans while the Romans said the same of the Gaul who later became the British Empire. The truth of the matter is that the forces that civilized a race are not within the control of mankind. The civilizing forces follow their own ordained law and programme. Seers could be given a glimpse of the programme but none has been able to visualize or can understand the totality of the programme.
However, what baffles the enlightened souls is the tendency of each reigning race to become arrogant and snobbish when it basks in the grace and blessing of the light of heaven. Why they failed to see that the progress recorded under their name was not due to any particular ingenuity or innate ability of the race amazes the wise. The awareness of the grace and blessing of heaven would have dictated humility but nay each of the empire that came seemed to believe it was its power and exceptional wisdom that created the success of the race. Unfortunately, it is this sense of misplaced superiority over others that always cost the blessed race the loss of the blessings and of the gifts of heaven. It should be noted that racial-pride has always hasten the decay and loss of whatever honour and glory heavens gave to any race of people.
The pamphlets coming your way under the millennium reflections on Africa and Africans are designed to wake up your spirit and soul to the woes and problems facing Africans. This writer hopes to alert you about the visions of a new dawn in Africa, to light the fire of truth in your soul and to challenge you to open your mind or heart to receive the blessing and honour heaven has prepared for Africans during this age. Please be informed, it is only the power of heaven that can revive Africa and Africans from their deep slumber. Every revived African therefore has a sacred duty to teach the world the way of truth and life. It is the divine duty of every enlightened African who has seen the light of truth to expose the lies and hate behind the current perversion in the world called modern civilization. This is the purpose of the essays that will be coming your way as they are finalised. Please pass them on to your family, friends and neighbours if you find them beneficial. Happy reading.
