Email from National Center What is your source of balance?   Word of the Week: Balance   The state of being in equilibrium; equipoise; equality; also, mental stability, sanity. An instrument for weighing; the scale by which deeds and principles are weighed and destinies are determined; symbol of Justice. To bring into, keep or be in equilibrium; to keep in due proportion. ~Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development The Struggle For Balance, Study Guide #4, Glossary "Black people are not balanced; nor is humanity in general. Allah (God) created us with a natural inclination towards Him. That inclination causes us to move in His direction from the very beginning of life to the end. But the journey to Allah (God) has been aborted because of Falsehood and the acceptance of Falsehood. Our brains were created to think right. Falsehood, which is untruth or deception, produces a spiritual and chemical imbalance in the brain. And since the nine (9) systems of the human body all rely upon the brain, its imbalance results in a malfunctioning of the entire health system. Even though there may still be a regular heartbeat, normal blood pressure, etc., there is a very real dysfunction that ultimately shortens life---because Allah (God) intended for us not to be nearly balanced, but we are made to achieve exquisite balance." ~The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan Self-Improvement: The Basis for Community Development Study Guide #4, The Struggle For Balance, Analysis Are you in a state of balance today?
