Circumcision of The Mind

by Imam W. Deen Mohammed

Dear beloved people.

I’m happy that Allah has blessed us to gather here today and I’m happy to see many of you of the world community of Al Islam present here in Cleveland and the surrounding area.

Today I believe we are addressing our community throughout the United States. We are on the national hookup, and I pray to G’d that He bless us with guidance, patience, and understanding.

We’ll just ease up on this subject today. It is one that I think we have to ease up on. This subject is going to take us back to ancient Egypt. And to the Genesis. The report in Bible Genesis about the beginning of the world or the generation of the world.

But before going on this eye opening trail, I’d like to say a word to those members of the world community of Al Islam in the West on the teachings of Fard Mohammed. We used to call master Fard Mohammed before we understood and knew how to pronounce the name correctly, concerning a similar problem in fact the same problem if we understand the connection.

He used the terms gravity and fire and I thought that it would be a good start for me to make some comments on his symbolic language to explain the term’s gravity and fire.

In explaining the term fire as used by Professor Fard Mohammed the teacher of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I will refer you to Greek mythology and the other mythologies. If you’re not familiar with these mythologies it doesn’t matter because I’m going to give you the definition of fire in the mythologies. We are told that a certain Greek figure in mythology stole the heavenly fire. Stole the heavenly fire.

Today we still have fire as a symbol of learning. Symbol of learning, in the institute, institution pardon me, of education, colleges and universities. They are familiar with the symbol fire. I believe even now they still use the magic lamp or lantern with fire coming up as a symbol of higher learning, higher knowledge. So this fire that we’re talking about is higher knowledge on the subject of life. Life, human life.

Human life has always made man curious and has mystified the ignorant people. So man’s struggle has been for understanding. He has struggled to understand his life. Man wants to understand his life. And this struggle was made fruitful by the concept of G-d that we have, that is, in Christianity, Judaism, and Al-Islam. Or Judaism, Christianity and Al-Islam.

The concept of G-d as Creator and as the infinite Being who is not creation, and is not limited or contained in creation, but who has a reach that extends everywhere. He can reach us here, He can reach us in our souls, and He can reach us beyond the sun, moon, and stars, because His reach, as Scripture tells us, extends beyond everything.

Professor Fard Muhammad said that the world would be finished finally by a great act of a scientist, or a great powerful, wise genius. And this scientist or genius would cause a shortage in the gravity. What gravity? Well, he didn’t explain. He left us his symbolic teachings and he left us with the burden of finding the answers for ourselves. But he said that the shortage of gravity would produce fire and set the whole atmosphere afire. He didn’t say that the fire would start in material things or objects like the homes, factories, clothes, or the industries, he said the fire would start in the atmosphere by causing a shortage in gravity.

Is this a good incident? Is this a blessing in Fard Muhammad’s teachings? Is this something that we hope to see? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us that he said, “Hope to be far away from that fire.” Don’t hope to be near that fire. He said hope to be far away from that fire.

So here we are talking about a fire that is not good for the human being, and it’s created by bringing a shortage in gravity. I understand a shortage in the electric current. I understand what that shortage means. That’s easy to understand. It means touching the wires where they were not intended to be touched. Right? If you touch the wires where they weren’t intended to be touched, then you get a shortage. Now, so since Professor Farad was an actual fact man, as well as a witch doctor, I think we can come up with the right answer by saying the shortage in gravity is the same thing.

A shortage in gravity is brought about in the same way. Things touch where they are not supposed to be touched. Where they were not intended to be touched.

We find the world is gravitating toward the things that were forbidden. Our minds, our souls, our nature are gravitating towards things that were forbidden to us.

Christian society, Muslim society, Jewish society, Communist world, all of the world for the last decade or more has experienced a fragmenting, a straying away from discipline.

Yes even in communist, even in the communist world, a straying away from the discipline, giving themselves to things, touching things that they were told not to touch.

Here in this country, we’ve been giving our mind, our soul, our whole life to permissiveness, to dissipation of our religious life, our mind, just spending it like it’s two cents. You know? We go out and give our human forces to fun, corruption, just like it’s worth two cents.

Today, the homes are broken. The children need their parents. The parents need the children. Husbands and wives need each other. The family has been hurt terribly by this individualism. Everybody is going his way, doing his own thing. Putting down the old disciplines.

But we have more talk of love than ever before. Every song almost, has love-making in it. Yes. That’s gravity, that’s all it is. Gravity. No light, no insight, just nothing but gravity. Gravitating toward the wrong place in this electro-magnetic field that G-d has set. And if you don’t know what you are doing, you are going to cause a shortage and soon you will have your world on fire. And that is what we have been doing, we have been setting our world afire, burning up the good human life.

So I thought that would be a good start. Because Fard Muhammad was a modern man, he’s a modern witch doctor.

Now, I’d like to refer you to ancient Egyptian religion as it is called. Some people might think that their religion was only a mythology, but they did have a religion. Their religion was shrouded in secrecy and symbolism just like ours is today, but they had a religion.

I am not off of the subject. I’m on the subject. I’m trying to circumcise some people that didn’t get the circumcision yet.

When we study the history of the ancient Egyptian people we find that those people excelled many, many ways. They were not only a great material power in their heyday which lasted for thousands of years, but they were also very wise in the knowledge of the human mind, the human spiritual nature.

In fact, if you do some research, you will find out as we have, that they are the ones who gave the modern world psychology. Psychology came from ancient Egypt to the western world through the Greeks and others.

Even today, in their symbolic religion or symbolic wisdom, we find most advanced concepts of the human nature, human soul, human intellect, human passion. They were well informed or well learned on the subject of psychology, the mind, the nature of the mind, the nature of the soul and the spirit.

Also we find that they practiced circumcision before the Jews did, and the Jews were the ones who passed that practice to the Western world or as we know it, the Christian world.

We are trying to gradually bring before your mind’s eye, a trick that is worked on the people and has been working for thousands of years. Thousands of years.

An impediment that blocks the intelligent expression. Prevents the free or liberal awakening of the human intellect, for I am sure, 80 percent or more among the general public. So in this audience, I believe it might be as high as 95 percent, maybe 99 and 9/10th as I think I heard somebody say once.

It’s no simple trick. It’s a very subtle trick. A trick that hides itself through the strategy of publishing itself.

See this is the nature of the satan, the chief of the devils. He escapes notice by putting himself right in your eyes. We don’t suspect things that are open, manifest, plain. We suspect things that are partly hidden, partly covered. The things that are boldly put before us we ignore them. You can tell somebody the secret to the atomic bomb, the secret of how to make the atomic bomb and you can tell it as a joke and laugh while you are talking and practically everybody will miss the secret because that’s human nature to pass over things that are not presented seriously or the things that are just boldly and carefree like presented.
