Tool #4
Improved Values
Actions and thoughts are driven by a certain underlying system of personal values. These values may be so rooted within that you may not even be aware of them. Some values are gained from cultural practices, religion beliefs or several other sources.
Regardless of the source, any values that are allowed to become guidance for Black America must be rooted in upright humane principles.
The reasons behind Black America’s physiological, psychological and cultural illnesses can always be traced back to the quality of the individual value systems. If your values are not founded in humane equality, then you will be incapable of viewing or treating yourself or others righteously. A weak value concept leads to the lack of self empowerment. It prevents you from rightfully respecting the humanity of others.
True values are not based on the opinions and practices of the masses. True values are not limited to specific religious practices or dogmas. Such value is not defined by
pointless materialism. True values are also not determined by cultural upbringing; although individual values are influenced by individual cultural environment. Real values are those qualities which hold the complete human race in high regards. Such true value does not discriminate or segregate any part of the human race. It empowers your being to rise to the heights of its creation, and to carry with you all the valuable hues of mankind.
In instituting change, you must back that change with sound values. You must decide how much you value your individual self growth. You must also decide how much you humanely value and respect the values of others. If you do value yourself to the degree where you can institute positive change, positive change will occur. Not only will it be the guiding force in your individual life, but also in the lives of others who you may come in contact with.

Tools to Encourage the Healing of Black America
Tool #3
Implementing Change
When you have mastered self discipline and acknowledgment; you must then begin the actual process of gradually implementing positive change in your life.
It is a modification of the method in which you, Black America, desire to view yourself. If you’ve discovered in the present acknowledgment of your inner-self, that there are issues that you do not wish to remain a part of the future you; begin to visualize yourself free of such issues. Allow those things which afflict you to be replaced by appropriate solutions.
For example, if you find that you have an irrational fear or distrust with persons of another race or religion; make a decision to seek to better understand that race or religion. In doing so, you will be more capable of gaining mutual respect for them,
giving space for such irrational emotions to be transformed into a new feeling of humane sensibility.
But know that change only begins as thought, but it is only made actual by real actions on
your part. Even a thought must be maintain honestly if it is to become a catalyst of inner change. True psychological change is a dedicated work in progress.
Let every day be an opportunity to recognize and labor for the cause of self improvement.
Changing from a state of negative to one positive may for some Black Americans, prove a difficult task.
But it is for all Black Americans afflicted with any destructive issues, a most necessary task. Without this mental rebirth of mentality, there can be no healing within the person. If there is just a few among you that are trapped by their own mental illnesses; that sickness will eventually inflict the whole of the Black society.
Therefore, these simple tools should not only be directed at the individual self, but the collective whole of the Black American community.

Tools to Encourage the Healing of Black America
Self Acknowledgement
Once the attitude of self discipline is attained, the profound moment of self acknowledgement must then be tackled. once Black America’s mentality has been guarded with self discipline, such new-found discipline is focused towards the task of acknowledging or accepting the actual psychological state of its existence.
Before there can be any manner of improving change; you, Black America, must honestly admit to yourself that you are in a position in which your internal understanding is in error.
This is indeed an essential tool in the great process of self healing. This is the diagnostic stage of the healing development. If you refuse to come to the realization that your inner-self is in need of amendment, then there can be no proper antidote in which to use in correcting your flaws. Not even the most renowned medical physician can rightly treat a patient’s illness until the source of the underlying problems is determined.
When the root cause is determined, only then can a proper treatment be applied. The same goes for the state of Black America.
The personal psychological issues must be allowed to be brought to the surface.
Examine yourself. If there exist any qualities within which are detrimental to your individual advancement, acknowledge it without fear. Whether it be relationship issues, addictions or narcissistic issues; they must be recognized and confronted before you can truly move forward on the journey of mental, physical and spiritual reconciliation.

Tools to Encourage the Healing of Black America
Self Discipline
My people, the Black people, are in most need of self discipline or individual restraint. Nothing else can be utilized in any form to aid in the true reformation of Black America until it learns to mentally, bodily and spiritually control itself. Religion cannot heal you until you decide to heal yourself; and the American legal system cannot restrain nor reform you, until you first choose to create real change within yourself.
When the Black people of America learn to look within themselves honestly, their true divine strength will shine forth like the risen Son of Man.
This most significant step ignites the atomic explosion of Black growth and renewal. A self disciplined Black America can rule every corner of the created universe with wisdom that is perpetually righteous. But a non-disciplined Black America is a malignant cancer eating away at the very core of both the Black society and the whole world.
The power of the Afro descendent nation is beyond all understanding; it surpasses all the struggles, histories, accomplishments and existences of any branch of civilization to have ever existed.
The power to control the Black man lies solely in the hands of the Black man, and none other. Many have tried in vain to subdue the formidable energies of the Black people. Because of its untamable sovereignty, only the individual mentalities within the Black society have the capabilities to dominate its negative and positive forces.
When Black America reaches the point when it decides to use self disciple and self restraint; every living being will be blessed by its leadership, intelligence and humane compassion.
