<strong>The</strong> <strong>Isis</strong> <strong>Papers</strong><br />
This internal pressure <strong>to</strong> preserve <strong>the</strong> role of Black manhood becomes<br />
a means by which <strong>the</strong> concept of Black manhood is developed and<br />
preserved by Black peoples <strong>the</strong>mselves. This activity will counter <strong>the</strong><br />
thrust of <strong>the</strong> Black male as female, clown, infant, buffoon, transvestite,<br />
homosexual. Black males who are unwilling <strong>to</strong> fight for <strong>the</strong>ir manhood<br />
are <strong>the</strong>reby indicating that <strong>the</strong>y debase Black manhood and will not be<br />
able <strong>to</strong> teach it <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> next generation. <strong>The</strong>se males do not deserve <strong>the</strong><br />
privilege of procreating <strong>the</strong>mselves, and this should be enforced by all<br />
Black females who are self-respecting.<br />
White supremacy is war against Black people in general and against<br />
Black males in particular, as embodied in such tactics and strategies as<br />
justifiable homicide. It will require a <strong>to</strong>tal commitment and counter war<br />
effort on <strong>the</strong> part of all Black peoples <strong>to</strong> neutralize, by every means at<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir disposal, this war of racist injustice.<br />
As Black people, we also can adopt <strong>the</strong> defmition that under <strong>the</strong><br />
conditions of white supremacy, Black manhood does not mean macho or<br />
money, but instead it means warrior or soldier against white supremacy,<br />
embracing everything that <strong>the</strong> words warrior or soldier imply. Those who<br />
do not wish <strong>to</strong> be warriors or soldiers should not procreate <strong>the</strong>mselves, as<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir offspring can be expected <strong>to</strong> be destroyed by white supremacy<br />
anyway. This is by no means a definitive statement on Black response <strong>to</strong><br />
justiftable homicide, but it is an attempt <strong>to</strong> elevate <strong>the</strong> discussion on this<br />
specific white supremacy war strategy. Fur<strong>the</strong>r discussion amongst Black<br />
people will help <strong>to</strong> define all necessary Black behavioral response.<br />

Paper Money and Gold As Symbols<br />
(1980)<br />
<strong>The</strong> image or concept of <strong>the</strong> self in <strong>the</strong> deep recesses of <strong>the</strong> brain-computer,<br />
as programmed through <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal environment interacting with <strong>the</strong><br />
genetic and constitutional base, detennines all patterns of symbols, logic,<br />
thought, speech, action, emotional response and perception in all areas of<br />
people activity. As such, <strong>the</strong> self-image is <strong>the</strong> core from which all else<br />
.evolves in <strong>the</strong> brain-computer. Thus, <strong>the</strong> deep self-image is <strong>the</strong> key<br />
concern of <strong>the</strong> psychiatrist.<br />
Why should one focus on deep symbols? What do we achieve through<br />
· symbol analysis and understanding? Truth cannot be concealed. Truth<br />
is "that which is." It is specific energy in <strong>the</strong> universe. It literally begs <strong>to</strong><br />
·. be revealed, especially when hypocrisy and deceit- dis<strong>to</strong>rted statements<br />
of "that which is" -move <strong>to</strong>wards domination. Truth <strong>the</strong>n reveals itself,<br />
. speaks and surfaces through <strong>the</strong> symbol. <strong>The</strong> symbol is <strong>the</strong> fonn through<br />
· which a highly dynamic idea or concept can "tunnel" underground<br />
through <strong>the</strong> unconscious <strong>to</strong> be expressed. <strong>The</strong> symbol is <strong>the</strong> product of<br />
. environmental energy condensation.<br />
R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz in his book, Symbol and <strong>the</strong> Symbolic,<br />
explains:<br />
... that true progress inhuman thought can be made only if we call upon<br />
<strong>the</strong> 'symbolizing' faculty of human intelligence, <strong>the</strong> faculty developed<br />
and refmed in <strong>the</strong> Temple Culture of ancient Egypt and reflected in<br />
<strong>the</strong> hieroglyphics that have come down <strong>to</strong> us undisturbed. <strong>The</strong><br />
mentality of ancient Egypt helps <strong>to</strong> free us from our present intellectual<br />
impasse, while 'symbolism' must be recognized for what it is: <strong>the</strong><br />
