An African Man

My ancestors persevered and endured the incredulous hardship of slavery  here in America. They were resilient and these traits have been passed down to me and my descendants.

SUPERSTITION?


Humankind has always sought to have a relationship with a higher being or power and throughout millenniums has embarked on a never ending quest for an explanation regarding our existence in this world and the possible worlds below and beyond. Could there really be a divine presence that resides within us or is this feeling a connection to an energy that permeates throughout the universe or universes and galaxies in vibration and frequency? Is there a single source of consciousness and intelligence that all of creation descends from or are than many? Lastly, is religion the pathway to spiritual enlightenment and can it lead humankind to this inexplicable and presently elusive source of supreme power?
