The Neo Soul Series: Erykah Badu Edition

Disclaimer:This is most definitely a hard topic for me. I love neo-soul music. It's my favorite genre. Most of the people I will expose in this series are my favorite artists.But I can't help but have my eyes open to what's in front of me. As a Christian the whole Illuminati, luciferian doctrine and any agendas associated with the new world order are wrong to me because they go against the word of Christ. 

The bible warns us against making the principles of the world superior to Christ. Colossians 2:8 says: See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

'They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.'-Deuteronomy 32:17

'Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God'-.Leviticus 19:31

'Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6

Neo- A combining form meaning “new,” “recent,” “revived,”“modified,” used in the formation of compound words: neo-Darwinism; Neolithic; neoorthodoxy; neophyte.




Soul- The principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans,regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physicalpart.


Now that we know what it means let's take a look at some of the artist that promote the agenda. I would have to start with the Queen Bee of the Neo-Soul movement herself Miss Erykah Badu.

She promotes her self as she's this knowledge driven, no non-sense, free from group think five percenter. But if you are not distracted by all the chaos on her album cover you will see where I highlighted the 'All Seeing Eye' for you. Which let's you know exactly whose agenda she's really carrying out. Speaking of five percenters who and what are they? Blasphemy in the most sincerest form if you ask me.

Her Beliefs

Please read the excerpt from BlackApologetics.com on Five Percenters

1.) What are the Nation of Gods and Earths (Five Percent?)

The Five Percent began as an offshoot of the NOI (Nation of Islam) back in 1964 by Clarence 13X who was a minister in Mosque no. 7 under the tutelege of Malcolm X. The movement was started because Clarence 13X rejected the notion that Wallace Fard was God Incarnate (see NOI). He began teaching that the black man himself was god. Five Percenters also depart from NOI in their teaching of the Supreme Alphabet and Supreme Mathematics, an arcane system devised by Clarence 13X wherein each letter or numeral denotes a concept with an accompanying parable. "A" stands for Allah, "B" is Be or Born, "C" is See and so on. This process is known as "dropping science".

Supreme Mathematics - teaches that numbers 0-9 means:
1 - Knowledge
2 - Wisdom
3 - Understanding
4 - Culture/Freedom
5 - Power/Refinement
6 - Equality
7 - God
8 - Build/Destroy
9 - Born
0 - Cipher

2.) Why do they call themselves members of the Nation of Gods and Earths or Five Percenters?

Clarence 13X taught that eighty-five percent of the population is made up of ignorant, unlearned and uncivilized people who need to be led (mostly churchgoers). This eighty-five percent are believed to have no "knowledge of self". Ten percent of the population have some knowledge of self [i.e. the real truth], however, they use this knowledge to wield control over the eighty-five percent vs. "liberating" them [most baptist preachers, including Rev. Jesse Jackson are believed to be in this category]. Lastly, he considered the remaining five percent to be those who thought/believed like himself and his followers. The "poor, righteous teachers", the ones who do possess knowledge of themselves, their origins, and the way the world system really is -- and additionally, the way in which the new world order will come about. Their job/mission is to educate the eighty-five percent to what this hidden or veiled knowledge really is. [In the last few years, they have preferred to be called the Nation of Gods and Earths. The men are referred to as "gods" and the women are referred to as "earths"] - I have been informed recently by a member that Allah "The Father" , Clarence 13X, said that after 1967 they would no longer be known as the 5% Nation of Islam, but as Allah's Nation of Gods and Earths.

3.) How did this message spread?

This message was delivered as a street rap that mesmerized New York City youth. They won converts by the hundreds. Today the group numbers in the tens of thousands in NYC alone. This message was also well-timed, as the 1960's were obviously a time of great struggle for blacks in America. This was a message [very similar to the black supremacist doctrines of the NOI] that made black youths feel superior in a world where they were viewed as wholly inferior.

4.) How popular is it?

Well it is popular among many African-American male youth, especially in poor, urban areas. However, this thinking is also embraced by well off individuals. Its popularity is helped along by many R&B/Hip-Hop artists. Erykah Badu, Nas, Common, Wu-Tang, Busta Rhymes, and countless others have their lyrics laced with 5% doctrine. In addition to using these beliefs in their music some rap artists like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane and Lakim Shabazz have used the 5% flag on their album covers. Their numbers are believed to be in the hundreds of thousands, however they personally claim many more members. The concentration of Five Percenters is believed to be the highest on the East Coast, not coincidentally to be the location of the birth of rap and hip hop music. The major cities that boast the largest African-American populations can be known to have a significant number of Five Percent adherents. These cities include: New York, New Jersey, New Haven, Washington D.C., Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Baltimore and Atlanta (to name a few). This belief system has been embraced by some internationally as well.

5.) What are the requirements for membership?

The requirements of "official" membership in the Five Percent are unclear. They do not have organized affiliation. A Five Percenter will frequently say that they simply came into knowledge of self, or better yet, the "fact" that the "Asiatic Black Man" is God... It is more a way of life and they would shun any reference to them being a "religion". They do refer to "knowledging 120" (120 refers to their lessons which are virtually identical to the Supreme Wisdom originated by Elijah Muhammed and W.D. Fard). This question of whether they have knowledged (mastered/understood) these lessons appears to be rather important because often you will hear them say: "I knowledged 120 in [plug year in here]". In many dialogues or "builds" among themselves, disagreements are usually met with challenges to a member's knowledge of 120.

Suffice it to say that this step of absorbing the lessons likely separates the babies from the seasoned, and at the same time can expose a perpetrator. As indicated on a section of their homepage, they appear to really keep up with the rap artists level of commitment to their teachings, regardless of whether or not they pepper their lyrics with their lingo.

There are also, Parliaments and Schools that the members attend, which are rallys/meeting places where lessons are distributed and members can listen to speakers and meet others.

6.) Do they have a holy book or some by-laws?

NGE/Five Percent concepts are often circulated as lessons. They are made up of the following:

• The Supreme Mathematics
• The Supreme Alphabet
• The Student Enrollment (1-10)*
• The Lost Found Muslim Lesson No.1 (1-14)*
• English Lesson C-1 (1-36)*
• The Lost Found Muslim Lesson No.2 (1-40)*
• The Actual Facts*
• The Solar Facts
  *Lessons marked with an asterisk can be found here: Supreme Wisdom.
  
  Additionally there is an emphasis on knowing the history of the Five Percent, having an understanding of the Nation's flag and being aware of Clarence 13X's legacy. Another lesson, Teachings for the Civilized, is also of some interest. There is an underground newspaper that is offered by subscription only. I have also discovered a newsletter called The Black 7. You can download a pdf version of it here. (warning: potentially long download depending on your connection). The lessons and paper have a wide circulation in prisons, where the Five Percent have mounted a significant outreach campaign. Underground books are circulated as well. Common terminology that originated with the Five Percent: "Break it down", "droppin' science", "sup G [God]?", "word", "peace", "word is bond", and "represent". 
  
  
  Her Music

She often kicks 'knowledge'  in some of her lyrics.

Song: 'On & On' Album: Baduism

"If we were made in his image then call us by our names/most intellects do not believe in god but they fear us just the same, 

I was born under water with 3 dollars and 6 dimes... Yeah, you might laugh 'cause you did not do your math,

My cipher keeps movin' like a rolling stone"

There are many occultisms in that bar. One she's calling her self a God (Five Percenterism). Two she's stating she's born under water with 3 dollars & 6 dimes, which means she's a Pisces, which is astrology very symbolic in the occult world. Then she mentions her cipher (another Five Percenterisms). 

Song: 'Danger' Album: World Wide Underground 

'Your eye, your eye, your eye, your eye,
Your eye, your eye'

Song: 'Other Side of The Game' Album:Baduism

 'Don't you worry, I know there's confusion

God's gonna see us through
Peace out to revolution'

Those were the original lyrics however during a live performance she says GODS plural .( 3:45 Mark) Specifying she believes in more than one God. Christ is the one and only living God.  Not for Erykah though. This is important though because as Christian's we must guide our eyes and ears to images and doctrines un-Christ like. There are various truth seeker blogs that don't believe in Christ. They just want you to be 'aware'. I'm not judging them but my exposing of these artists is strictly at the expense of your soul. What good is it to be enlighten but still living in darkness?

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" Matthew 6:22-23

Her Image

Above is artwork for her video 'Window Seat'. The one where she is killed like JFK by character assassination. Which so contradicting when rises as a beautiful figure who has 'evolved'. Evolved into what Erykah? Did you notice the 11P and 6F on the left side? P=16 and F=6 so we get 11 16 66 .

This album cover is about spirit guides contacting people. The use of the numbering sequences...333,1111, and the hidden 333 found in group 3 30 and March...333....

Except on the numerology http://www.spiritual-path.com/numerology.htm

333 - This sign indicates that your Spirit Guides agree with your thoughts and feelings and could be interpreted as a Cosmic 'Yes!' to questions you have asked or ideas you may have.

I used to see 1111 everywhere and people say that is the universe getting your attention and at that time you can tell the universe what you want and it will give it to you...

this is the definition from that page I cited..

111, 1111 - These signs indicate that your thoughts are correct for the new cycle of your life and they are on your Spiritual Path. Continue with and follow these, as these thoughts relate to a new cycle in your life that is on your Spiritual Path. 

And as I am listening to the song I believe that this confirms my theory.
It's like she's meditating....and talking to her spirit guide.....

The cover art for NEW AMERYKAH PART TWO is a collaboration between ERYKAH BADU and famed artist and poster designer EMEK, who also designed the inspired packaging for 2008’s New Amerykah Part One: 4th World War. The new album cover depicts an underwater image of BADU wearing a suit of armor that symbolizes the tough exterior she developed to protect herself from the harsh realities of life. The armor is her old shell and now she’s liberating herself from it by climbing out of her own head so that she can be reborn. Her tuning fork is summoning the vibrations of the universe and the purple-colored tree of life and purple sky represent the 7th Chakra—the Crown Chakra right above her third eye shield, which represents peace, wisdom, and spirituality. The numerical theme of three is symbolized by three moons, three hidden babies, three trees, and three ankhs. Closer inspection reveals that BADU’s shoulders are surrounded by many of the same objects that filled her abstract afro on the cover of New Amerykah Part One, including handcuffs, a foreclosed home, fast food, cigarettes, broken chains, and a military tank. Here, those items represent refuse and rubble from which new life grows into a vibrant garden of colorful flowers blossoming all around her.

“Working with ERYKAH always brings out the best in me,” says EMEK. “I have worked with hundreds of bands and I have to say that she is pretty unique. The amount of time and energy she spends on all aspects of her life. She is very creative and hands-on, but she also respects and encourages the creativity in others.”

In keeping with the concept of the cover art, NEW AMERYKAH PART TWO: RETURN OF THE ANKH taps into BADU’s emotional side by thematically focusing on romance and relationships. “With Part One, I was standing at an apex, looking at what was going on around me politically, socially, and economically,” BADU explains. “With PART TWO, I’m hovering over me, looking at what’s going on inside of me.”- excerpt from an article when she and EMEK were interviewed.

Erykah often channels other God's by wearing their tribal clothing or their symbolisms and tattoos.

One eye symbolism. Her left eye at that.

More one eye symbolism...

However, when I see this picture with the Monarch Butterfly as her wings I wonder is a victim of MK Ultra Mind Control programming? It could be considering she's performing her agenda as Illuminati truth seeking puppet to the fullest. But Erykah seems to be VERY strong minded.  This isn't a Beyonce, Ciara or Rihanna who was tricked into this lifestyle and industry. She has a piece of substance about her self.

Here's an excerpt from Vigilant Citizen concerning Mind Control "What do you mean by “mind control”? I suggest you research “project MK Ultra” to get a little background information on the subject. Here’s a quick overview taken from the surprisingly accurate Wikipedia:

Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. The program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, and it used United States citizens as its test subjects. The published evidence indicates that Project MK-ULTRA involved the surreptitious use of many types of drugs, as well as other methods, to manipulate individual mental states and to alter brain function.

Project MK-ULTRA was first brought to wide public attention in 1975 by the U.S. Congress, through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. Investigative efforts were hampered by the fact that CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MK-ULTRA files destroyed in 1973; the Church Committee and Rockefeller Commission investigations relied on the sworn testimony of direct participants and on the relatively small number of documents that survived Helms’ destruction order.

Although the CIA insists that MK-ULTRA-type experiments have been abandoned, 14-year CIA veteran Victor Marchetti has stated in various interviews that the CIA routinely conducts disinformation campaigns and that CIA mind control research continued. In a 1977 interview, Marchetti specifically called the CIA claim that MK-ULTRA was abandoned a “cover story.”

An outgrowth of that project is unofficially referred to as “Project Monarch”. It is a mind control technique which exposes the subject to a trauma so violent that his/her mind creates a dissociation. The victim’s brain becomes compartmentalized and a new personality, which is then molded and educated  by the manipulators, emerges.

“When a person is undergoing trauma induced by electroshock, a feeling of light-headedness is evidenced; as if one is floating or fluttering like a butterfly. There is also a symbolic representation pertaining to the transformation or metamorphosis of this beautiful insect: from a caterpillar to a cocoon (dormancy, inactivity), to a butterfly (new creation) which will return to its point of origin. Such is the migratory pattern that makes this species unique.”

During their reeducation, subjects are said to be exposed to numerous symbols such as trees, spider webs, masks, mazes, butterflies, etc. They are also shown movies which contain specific symbols (or “triggers”) such as The Wizard of Oz and many Disney Movies. The same way those subjects are brainwashed and reeducated, mass media conducts a large scale mind control project, which starts at birth with Disney movies and continues with Hollywood flicks and music videos.

(For more information on Monarch mind control, check out the article entitled Origins and Techniques of Monarch mind control on Vigilant Citizen’s sister site Secret Arcana).

What we must retain here is the symbolism Monarch project engendered and its use in mass media. Monarch is a type of butterfly and became the ultimate “insider’s”symbol of mind control. Symbolism surrounding these entertainers, in their pictures and videos, mixes those symbols with occultism of secret societies.. Their vacuous, robotic and slightly degenerate persona embodies all the “symptoms” of a mind control victim. :"

Draw Your Own Conclusion

Is Erykah a puppet playing her part or a victim of mind control and bondage?
