Where is Bnei Hham's Torah? Part 3
It is a bold step to compare a Black man's skin with Torah -- or really, to imply that there are instructions embedded there. It is a probably jarring for most who are used to hearing the typical mainstream talk. But let's explore this for a minute, shall we?
Because they have Torah/Instruction, intrinsicly, (1) their behavior may seem bizarre for someone who doesn't know Torah and (2) they may endure harsher punishments when they stray away from this inner knowledge because it's such a part of them.
Bizarre Behavior in the USA:
For example, in the USA alone, mass incarceration is the name of the game. Many Black men are thrown in jail for the slightest of reasons, they were shamed and miseducated in schools. It was an attempt to kill them.
In response, the women still had children -- but out of wedlock. Even though so many Black men were broken or thrown in jail, the women found a way to keep the peoplehood going.
This story is reminiscent of Israel. When in Egypt, Pharaoh decided to kill all the Hebrew baby boys lest one arises to save them. In retaliation, Amram, Moses' father, decided that all couples should separate. That way, no one will have children and no babies will be killed.
Amram's daughter, Miriam, thought differently. She accused Pharaoh of trying to kill all the boys and Amram for trying to kill both boys and girls! Since no children would be born the future looked bleak. Everyone saw her reasoning and concurred. So they had babies and tried to hide them and hope for the best if it was a boy. Some may have even tried to dress their boys as girls.
Now Black women are fighting to have babies even though "the system" is trying to kill their boys. Some men/boys even resort to behaving extra soft so as not to appear to pose a threat. Certainly, they may have not raised many correctly. But thankfully, there are living boys to work with.
Another bizarre behavior is this phenomenon that Black people will stand by and march for everyone else's problems. Many within the community complain about that and wonder why don't they just stick with their own problems.
But because of the "hidden Torah" within the Black people, that may explain why they see the bigger picture and tend to be self-sacrificing.
There is the bizarre behavior of Black folks thinking they are gods or kings and their women are goddesses or queens. In Kabbalah, there is a teaching that G-d and the Torah are as one -- meaning, they are very connected in a very close way. So he who has Torah -- learning it, loving it, living it, etc,. it's as if he is almost one with G-d. So therefore, Black folks with Torah written on their skin may feel very much as if they are G-d if not extremely close to The Most High.
Harsher Punishments:
Again, sticking with USA history, there is no need to elaborate on the harsher punishment and treatment that Black folks are enduring. Not even in the USA alone, but all over South America, Africa, the Arab world, everywhere.
It behooves us all to take a moment of meditation and appreciate who we are and how we are and to use it for maximum good for ourselves and for the world. With so much propaganda and constant distraction everywhere and continuously bombarding us, its very hard to find a place of nature and quiet to meditate and "read" our Torah. But we should be reading it every day.
Its would be more beneficial to read this "instruction book" away from burnt metal, petrified wood, beaten rocks, which is the "forest" of the non-melanated people. Rather, it would be best to go into the forest, nature, greenery, place of life and the living and meditate.
To be continued...

Where is Ham's Torah part 2
The Precious Stone:
In the story of Noah and the ark, at the top of the ark was something to bring light into
it. Some say it was a window, some say
it was a precious sapphire stone. If it was a
window then it would only shine light when it was day. But since it was very stormy, probably definitely
rainy weather, a precious stone may have been in order.
What is so special about a precious stone? It really enhances the beauty of
something. Crowns in particular are
decked out with precious stones. But
it's not coincidental, just something pretty to decorate a crown with. No, it's purposeful.
Keter means crown in Hebrew.
According to some, the precious gems on the crowns allows one to
actually peer to what's above -- the next spiritual/astrological level. Kind of like a crystal ball. Or like the Urim
v'Thummim -- the breastplate of the Cohen/High Priest. The king wearing such a crown can boast that they were meant to be the leader because now they have access to "higher information" from above and special spiritual help.
Also just as we place hot stones on human bodies during massages to open blocks, the sapphire stone is know for opening mental blocks.
So there was Noah and the three sons and their wives all encased in the ark with a precious sapphire stone shining above, calling to whomever will engaged with it. Calling for 40 days.

The Intercourse:
When Adam mated with Eve, it's written Adam
"knew" Eve. In fact,
this "knowing" is a way of intimately getting familiar with someone
-- or even something or a concept. When it is taught that Ham had "intercourse" in
the ark, he broke a glass ceiling and gained intimate knowledge. In addition, he actually had intercourse in the physical sense. Canaan may have been the product of this union (which would explain why Noah took his anger out on Ham)..
There were others who also "had intercourse in the ark" under the sapphire stone, according to the sages; the dog and the
raven. As a result, the dog was made to
be tied and the raven was made to expectorate (spit).
Interestingly, the dog is, in fact, tied by humans. It is now closer to the human plane than most
animals. In some countries it's known as
a "man's best friend."
As for the raven, interestingly, it can actually use speech much
better than the well-known parrot.
Speech is a very human characteristic. Maybe the raven can't "spit a rythm" but it can definitely speak which is a human trait. That combined with their great intelligence (ravens are said to be as smart as a seven year old human child). Both the dog and the raven were brought up to a higher level away from
their previous animal plane and very close to the human plane.
The dog and the raven were both brought up to a higher level. Slightly away from the animals, and closer to the humans. Ham was already human. So with his new gift he also rose from human to something near the angels. Its not uncommon to hear Black folks, particularly African Americans referring to themselves as gods and their women as godesses.

Romancing the Stone:
In the ark, Ham gazed at the precious stone and
from gazing he peered through, like looking through a crystal ball, and gained intimate knowledge - as is known, sapphire stones open mental blocks. What is this knowledge that Ham gained?
As a result of this act, he is said to have gotten stricken in the
skin.
In a different section of the Jewish Torah is the story of Moses who was told to "speak to the rock" so that it would render water for the people. Moses heard these instructions, but yet went and hit the rock instead!
This also reminds me of parents. When a parent says to do something, they say it calmly. If that is not heeded, the parent shouts and speaks loudly. If that doesn't work, then the parent may give the child a smack. A strike. As if a strike is physical -- very loud -- word.
So Ham was "stricken" in the skin. Another big bang just happpened. Gd spoke strongly into Ham's skin.
Black skin is black because of the high amounts of carbon in it. Carbon is one of the basic building blocks of life. Nothing that is living is without carbon. Black skin has a factor that is almost like the chlorophyll in plants. Plants use a process called photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy for fuel. As well, melanin is a process that converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy for fuel. That's on a physical plane.

On a different plane, let's talk about light. In every synagogue, there is a light that is
forever shining above the ark which contains the Torah. Let that sink for a minute... So from within the ark, Hham who was
contained within the ark stared up at the light shining constantly from the
precious stone and as a result was stricken in the skin ( given a Torah - instruction within the skin).
The Torah can only be written on skin. Traditionally, it's been written in cow hide (cows are another one with high melanin in their skin).

Where is Ham's Torah (Instructions)?
Many will argue that the original Jews were Black or Brown people. And that seems pretty logical. But I want to focus my attention on Ham. They are also a Black/Brown people. But they get a bad rap. It's as if they are almost the exact opposite of the Jews!
One is considered blessed. The other is considered cursed. Now I would like to introduce a new idea: that perhaps both are blessed/cursed depending on what they do with their gifts.
Let's review the stories:
In the case of the Jewish people:
They left Egypt, traveled through the desert and come on the Mountain Sinai. There, they heard lightening and saw thunder -- miracles and Moses came down with the Torah Tablets which some say is made of sapphire. Now this Torah can only be written on skin -- usually it's written on cow skin. They said na'ase v'nishma (we will do and we will hear). Then anti-semitism came into the world.
In the case of Ham:
Ham left with his family to enter the ark. There there was a precious sapphire stone above to send down light. Ham had intercourse (please note, very often when they talk about "intercourse" its like a form of getting to know something. So we can say he gained some knowledge very intimately there). Because of this he is stricken in the skin. He comes out of the ark and witnesses Noah drunk and naked. He does something to Noah - some say he castrated him and then calls his brothers. Noah wakes up from his stupor and curses out Ham and/or Canaan.
Let's compare:
Jewish people go up Mt. Sinai
Ham people go into the ark
Jewish people have a revelation
Ham people gain intimate understanding
Jewish people are given a Torah that can only be written on skin
Ham people are stricken in the skin as a result of this intimate knowledge
Jewish people say na'ase v'nishma (we will do and we will hear)
Ham people did an act and listened (to his brothers)
Jewish people got anti-semitism
Ham people got racism
Their histories are very similar, But why is one considered cursed and the other blessed? Answer: because someone wants to be the narrator of history. And that someone is Esav. He wants full ownership of our imagination. That way you will think only as far as he wants you to think and have the capacity to do only as much as he wants you to do. They want to play G-d. And as such, they play one against the other.
Someone can easily look at the Jew's history and not think they were blessed; every country they've been in people have tried to kill them or stop them from performing their Torah ordained deeds. Many have been slaughtered simply for being Jewish. Their place of origin was taken from them and should they attempt to get it back, they are shamed and fought against.
Someone can easily look at Ham's history and think they were blessed -- they were blessed to live in African continent, such a fertile land envied by all. Endless sunshine and resources scattered about their land in great demand then and now. Exotic animals, rain forests, their melanin and the abilities that come with it, etc..
But one thing is for sure, both groups hold on tight to life. But now its time to turn on the light for the Black world. To dispell this image of cursedness and to turn on the "light" -- the "אוֹר" or the "עור" to our Torah. Interestingly, both the Hebrew word for light and the Hebrew word for skin sound exactly the same. The first Hebrew word means light, spelled with an Alef Vav Dalet. The second Hebrew word means skin, spelled with an Ayin VAv Dalet. But they are both pronounced Ohr.
Both the skin and the light have some kind of connection.
It is also interesting that in the synagogues, the Torah can only be written on skin. And it is placed in the ark in the center of the synagogue where there is a light that should always be forever kept lit.
This reminds me of Ham who was in the ark. The ark was continuously lit by a sapphire stone above. This was where Ham was "stricken in the skin" after having biblical intercourse.
To be continued...
P.S A word on Noah. He was said to be a righteous man "of his generation"? What does that mean. Meaning he was the best of the worse. He was not a righteous man. He was only the least evil of his generation.
When Ham had the revelation in the ark, that placed Ham above Noah, and that brought jealousy. /In fact, it seems as though Noah became jealous at everyone who had intercourse in ark. According to the Oral traditions, there is a teaching that Noah didn't send the raven out to see if there was no more water, he sent the raven out because he was trying to kill it. but the raven was smart and kept flying back to the ark. According to the Oral tradition, The raven protested with his new found speech ability and said, "you are only trying to kill me out of prejudice so you can take my wife." And a voice in Heaven confirmed that the raven was right.

Gorilla vs Boy vs Stupid
As you all know in the Cinncinatti zoo, a small boy of 4 years old managed to get into the gorilla's sanctuary and fell right near the gorilla. The zookeepers followed protocol and shot the gorilla.
If it was a white family -- the mother of the boy was a white lady, I think that would have been the end of the story. but since its a Black family, people are seriously upset that the gorilla was killed because of a little Black boy -- as if it was a waste of a death.
Not even giving a second thought to the fact that maybe the gorilla shouldn't be locked up in captivity for their viewing pleasures.
Investigations are being made on the family! All their past wrongs are being put out in the media. SMH. And if anyone dare call out racism, then the collective will roll their collective eyes as in, "why'd you have to bring that up?" Burst their bubble of pretend. They are being racist!
It almost makes me wonder if they are not sad that a gorilla was harmed. Rather they are sad that their pleasure got taken away from them for the sake of a Black boy. They would harm another gorilla to capture it and replace Harambe when all this dies down.
Heck! Once upon a time they had Black folks in zoos!
Rest in peace Harambe. Sad that you were captured and caged and sad about the whole incident.
Thankfully, the boy is okay. The family is probably going through hot waters right now with lots of emotions, lots of spirits around them. Send vibes of goodness towards them. If you can write good for them. Keep that light on.
