The Articles of Intent: Passage G7
“God prepares opportunities with a high probability for success and we turn them into risky chances with an almost inevitable crash and burn outcome. Then we're running back to the praying board, asking God why.”
And now back to our regularly scheduled Cipher.
Back to the process of resuscitating our forgotten and failing intentions. The good stuff. The important stuff. 🙂
But first...

So where else did our intentions as a people go wrong?
Let’s take a look at a few of the silent killers.
So many of us have settled in, turning most of the bigger possibilities in Life over to everything but ourselves. Leaving the majority of the good things we hoped for and intended to see, in the hands of something we either can’t trust, don’t understand, can’t predict or have no say so in. Like…
1. Plain ol' Circumstance: Preventable and defeat-able circumstances, to be more specific. Laying around letting circumstances dictate our present and future. Then we wonder why life just seems to arbitrarily throw us stuff to deal with, at random.
If you don’t think (or realize, to say it better) that you’re worth enough to not be thrown all over the place and not be thrown all the grunt work; most of which is fated to inevitably fail; then you’re free game! A lot of times it seems that Life simply responds to our slothfulness, like…
"Well, if you don't care, I don't either. You like it, I love it. I got a ton of waste and malfunctioning energy laying around. And since you don't mind, here ya go. I got plenty more when you're done with that!"
Kinda cold-blooded, and sometimes rightfully so. The way we treat things is often sending the message to The Universe that the end result never really mattered that much to us either way! On the clearer side of that, life usually isn’t throwing to us, stuff that we can’t handle. If we deal with it wholeheartedly, we find that the lesson and blessing is hidden in the effort. I’m thinking life is smart enough to know that. God knowing so goes without saying. It will help us get our stuff together and help us grow, if we just get it handled and stop putting it off. Or putting it off of ourselves and onto other things. And it’s likely not intended to be unconsciously harsh and brazen. You may be pressed to argue against this when you look around at some of the f*cked up hardships people are going through. One reason it may look that way for individuals, is because many of those problems you see others having (that we blame Life, God or evil for) were not meant to be addressed alone. But we practice culturalized separatism in our way of living, collapsing under the weight. So we expect others to handle life and it’s daunty circumstances as a one man (or woman) show. Every man, family or small group for themselves. You can clearly see that’s how it is when you ventilate all the smoke screens blinding you from the truth. And well, for the divided and selfish, many things become insurmountable and overwhelming. But if it can’t be handled individually, YES WE CAN! handle it collectively! Just ask Obama…

And what people fail to deal with is that half or more of these circumstances could have been completely avoided or easily defeated with the right mind state, some critical thinking and some serious effort. Individual or collective. But nooooo! it’s much better to just let circumstance stay in charge and randomly fill in the blanks for us, huh? This is akin to someone trying to solve a very specific math equation, using any ol’ numbers that some random ass person shouted out. You can’t just put anything! What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't make me give OG Head of State the word. You know all it takes is a tweet... Jus Sayin.
You can’t just put anything… And you can’t let someone else you barely even know do it for you. We shouldn’t insult Life’s intelligence. But since we’ve been selfishly using Life’s beloved circumstances to fill in the answers and do the work for us in class; while we sit around and do other stuff; Life decided to get the last laugh and flood us with some failing answers. Like that brainiac in class who gave you the wrong answers for lacking and not doing your own studying; then turn around and try to use him like he’s a sucker on the day it counts. Right on the testing site! Shame.
Now you’re sitting there looking silly at an F+ when the results are passed out. Talkin’ bout, “How could this be?”. Looking ass. Well you would’a got a D- but the teacher knew you cheated too, so she gave you extra credit. 😐 And all the skeptics still wanna refute the results and wrestle with the facts.
Obama will see you now...

So instead of stepping up, getting it together and fixing where we went wrong, whatever it takes; we accept failure and start making up excuses for it. Or we go way past that and start turning stuff into a virtue. We start saying stuff like “this is god testing me, and I must show that I can persevere.” We start redesigning the failure in our heads to be the actual test.
"No buddy, you failed the test a long time ago. Guess you didn't get the memo because you were too busy letting random circumstances sit in for you while you slept in. This is simply the results of your absence and negligence. It's more like detention and hard tutoring if anything. You skipped the work and the responsibility and moseyed your little way around it, leaving it up to the discretion of something other than yourselves to get you to graduation. What you got now is the results of your nonsensical, shallow efforts... Not the test." Nice Try Though!😉
But instead of figuring this out, accepting it and making things right; to complete what we came here to do and earn the badge of Life with Honor; we’ll make our own version of success as a deemo. That’s a flunkee, for those who are not hip.
The basic premise is: Wherever your circumstantial life and behavior lands you, something in there will be labeled as the definition of ‘successful’.
Ya know. ‘As long as I’m alive’ or ‘I’m still a good person’ or ‘at least I have a good job, most people don’t have that’ or God knows what else.
If you don't get yo big E for effort, no child left behind looking ass outta here boa! Cognitive dissonance gone hella wrong, on a global scale bruh..."
There’s a million of em. Thought of any lately? Been applying any lately? Just wondering…
These type of statements are all true and valid. They work for me too. I am not against them. But they are not the justification or resolve for Life. We’ll come up with anything to justify the current conditions that resulted from either settling for less and/or letting circumstances bulldoze our intentions.
If you think any of that stuff is what defines success and happiness, or what matters in life, try telling that to someone in a nazi concentration camp. All they need is some of our tried and true philosophy. “As long as you’re alive, that’s what counts!” WTF!? No that’s what I’m afraid of dummy!
Still insist on arguing the contrary? Imagine if you will, an innocent man who had all of his beloved ones brutally massacred in his face, under slavery. Then beat half unconscious and forced to work sick, aching, dirty and malnourished, indefinitely; in scorching temperatures, from sun up to sun down. Then freed at old age to work willfully in his abusers new mega factory, along with the scatter box of his peers and fellow men who experienced the same thing. When we find that he is distraught (to say the least), hoping for CHANGE and needing some answers, We’ll let YOU do the talking. I can see it now. “Hey man, at least you got a job. Most people don’t have that.” WTF!? I’m bout to lose my job right now if you don’t get the…
Picture if you can, someone who got blown to smithereens in a war, with missing limbs from amputations because of mass 6th degree burns (And yes they exist. The 3rd degree is just a warm up baby!). Maybe he’ll see the light when we share our motto for success with him. “You’re still a good person, despite your circumstances.” 🙂 Oh yeah? Well if I still had arms, I’d be a bad person and body slam you repeatedly, despite your ignorance. But my circumstances got the best of me. Oh Lucky You. 😐 SMH.
These are extreme, (BUT VERY REAL) cases just to make the point. Everything mentioned has happened, or is happening right now as you read, to someone, somewhere right now! But the circumstances don’t have to be nearly as extreme or even similar to still call BULLSH*T! Again, the statements above have their truth to them and fit where they belong. But yet again, we just wear stuff out and take stuff way overboard or outta proportion. It’s irritating beyond comprehension. When individuals do this, it’s tough to swallow. But when the compound effects of everybody doing this kinda stuff melts in the pot, I can’t even stomach it. It definitely leaves an unpleasant smell in the air and it’s not edible anymore, let alone chewable.
At best, we’ll pretend everything is OK to get by, but we should know better enough. At worst, we’ll rewire our brain’s mind state to literally, falsely recognize that: we’ve did the work; did the best we could (under the circumstances, that is); we are worthy of the current prize and ready to graduation to the next level; and everything is the way it’s supposed to be. Oh, and God (or whatever we believe in) is gonna fix it all and hook us up as long as we sit around and be good. Running game on our own mind! Ain’t that terrible? Then we claim we don’t like those who are dishonest, deceitful and untrustworthy towards us… Ha! Now how ya gonna solve that one?!
Even if we did do our best in whatever it was, it apparently was not good enough. You are supposed to figure out where you went wrong, correct it, get better and get back at it. Not sign out, end it, settle into failure and hand the responsibility off to something or someone else. This is not how success, victory, prosperity or change is manifest. This is not how you make your dreams, visions, or intentions come true. I notice people hate to be told or deal with the fact that they are not good enough. It’s a difference between downing yourself or others and dealing with the intelligent objective truth. Most people can not and will not distinguish the difference. They live by the no child left behind concept.
I know what I'll do. This isht has got to stop! I'm done playing! Time to hop on Twitter and put the word in...

With our ultra successful, personally customized, new found perspective on failure, we take the fucked up circumstances and start writing our own graduation tune. A song for our own, self-proclaimed, imaginary ceremony. But there’s only one problem. We’re missing a key ingredient. And you KNOW we ain’t about to take up the responsibility in getting it for ourselves. That ain’t how we roll playa playa! Dang Nebit! Now if Life would only arbitrarily toss a cupful of pomp our way (just as it did with the circumstances), we can illegitimately graduate from Life’s inevitable school of hard knocks, summa cum laude, to that glorious classic tune! Of course, without ever having to do the real work ourselves. Hopefully we get their with minimal effort and don’t even have to get our feet wet, or lift a finger at all in some instances. Just gotta wait on the right circumstances… Yeah, that’s it! And while we’re at it, let time do it’s thing, too! Cause you never know. Only time will tell right?
Oh Brother!... Spare me! Where's Mr. President when ya need 'em, huh?
Ya see, I can sign my own signature to validate my degree. But then how do I expect that forgery to translate into the real world when I’m put on the spot and expected to perform accordingly? Exactly! Or let me guess, the circumstances will work themselves out. We’ll find another scheme or escape route to hustle that dilemma too, and we’ll deal with those circumstances when they arrive. Like everything else so far, right?… And the saga continues…
"As long as our reality offers such a magnitude of unpredictable variables and incalculable possibilities as it does; relative to the degree of our mathematical limitations and short psychic foresight; a chance, and the courage to do so, will always have to be taken to win the bag. No doubt."
2. Unprepared For Chance Taking: Of course we all know that if one is not willing to take a chance in life, they’ll likely never achieve anything noteworthy, to say the least. We’re definitely not speaking against that fact here.
The thing is, most of what people call taking a chance, is no chance at all. It’s often just us acting out our intents in a simple minded, naive, negligent fashion. And if by chance it crashes, we can blame it on the circumstances and still make ourselves look legit when we say, “At least I took a chance, it is what it is!”. Of course, compared to the person who did nothing at all, that statement makes you look good. But when you remove the comparison and deal with it head on, it’s retarded at best. To even say at least is just admitting, I did the minimum, so give me credit and recognition even though it all failed. As if that isn’t the reason why it all failed in the first place. “Well, f*ck you for criticizing. At least I tried!”
Shut your word hole and come clean! It’s really the result of being underdeveloped and unprepared for the intended objective. Not gathering the research needed; No training or debriefing in whatever is being attempted; No simulated operations; No test drills, etc. Dare bring this stuff up or try to act out your plans with others using these kind of operations and watch people start rolling on the floor foaming at the mouth. Sweating, stressing, huffing, puffing and blowing worse than a wolf on three little pigs’ tails. I have dealt with it literally hundreds of times to no resolve or end. I’ve seen and heard it all.
“You doing too much!”
“This is giving me a headache and stressing me out.”
(*UnorthoDark Translation) Yeah, basically, “I’d rather be at high risk for failure and stay open to attack than step it up. I’d rather walk loosely and blindly into having my goals flat-lined or comatose, instead of dealing with that recklessness you’re coming with, UD. I gotta get from around you and get involved with something elsewhere that doesn’t require me to do any of that craziness.”
And then they vanish, like ninja.. Quickly, without trace…
And the saga continues like a Harry Potter series. On they go. No thorough, detailed, clear communications with other parties involved (if any). No B and C contingency plans, or nothing. Either it’s none of this at all going on; or it’s all lazily, poorly and minimally executed at best. Just doing stuff... Winging it. And most of the responsibility and magic where it really counts is left up to chance or something else silly? That was the unrecognized mind state coming through the door. Or better yet, the mind state from the original inception of intent! So much for the A,B,C’s of effective preparation and execution. At least the 1st crew of circumstantial drifters we mentioned above had intents on graduating. We can’t even get the rudimentary alphabet song out of this click. A lot of headaches, wasted time and failed intentions can be avoided if you avoid this sorry excuse of music to your ears. And remember: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. Doesn’t really matter what it is.
God prepares opportunities with a high probability for success and we turn them into risky chances with an almost inevitable crash and burn outcome. Back to the drawing board. Then we’re running back to the praying board, asking God why. No wonder we need to pray 77 times, every 7 days, about the same ol’ stuff! Then we wonder why we don’t get an answer half the time. You don’t wanna keep using your prayer points (that are needed for so many other things out here) on foolishness like this. Trust me bruh… We should have been running back to the chalk board. In the literal classroom, and in The Creator’s Life School. Doing the SUPREME MATHEMATICS. LISTENING, LEARNING and PUTTING IN WORK with PASSION and PERSISTENCE. Making it OUR OWN BUSINESS to MAKE SURE THINGS ADD UP RIGHT. Holding ourselves ACCOUNTABLE and RESPONSIBLE for the REALITY and LIFE that JAH gave us to SHARE.
But you know how WE do! The first group is still waiting on their “Pomp and Circumstance”. This second group here would rather skip the pomp. Who needs it, huh? We’re in the modern world now baby! Gotta spice it up a bit. They’ve remixed our favorite graduation theme to “Chance and Circumstance”. Released on the album, Best of Both Worlds! No Jigga Man, Kels or Valen Halen for that matter.
I saw the commercial today. I knoooow the project is GONNA be successful with UMG backing them! In an interview they said, "it's GONNA be a jam everybody can relate to". After all, these are the life forces that ground us and make things happen, aren't they? They are the ideologies that we live and swear by, right? I literally can't wait for the single to hit the streets! I'm amped! Aren't you!?

3: Indifferent Fates and Random Destinies: With this group here the basic premise is to turn your desires, intentions and purpose over to these random life outcomes. We don’t believe in fate or destiny. We let them do the work for us with random indifference. Who cares right? They got it! Now you can just hang out on earth and do basic general everyday stuff. It’s cool that your outcome will barely involve, or be completely void of, your conscious input. It’s so nice to have a random lottery picked circumstantial destiny thrown to you from the crack of Life’s ass. A request to the Universe, unconsciously made by you. Enjoy!
I actually believe in fate and destiny. I’ve seen enough to know they are active out here. But people will be living out some quite unfulfilling, underdeveloped and contrary realities… And swearing it’s OK, cause “it’s their destiny”. And they know what the truth is… Somewhere in there… I hope… Or do they? If it’s not obvious to them, I hope they know deep down somewhere in some subtle way. Somewhere… And I’m not speaking on anything in particular. It’s all over the place. People are using these excuses and cop-outs on just about everything that TRULY matters. They will be in relationships with some major red flags, or leave what was meant and good for them, or remain with the wrong person (or alone) because it’s easier to think “fate sent them, brought them together, or made it that way”. Instead of making it right with their hearts. Instead of tapping into the intelligence they claim they claim to have. Instead of insisting that:
"This is neither my FATE nor my DESTINY, and I have no right to blame the conditions of my reality on the two. I accept that I made a wrong turn (or a whole bunch of em) somewhere. I vow to correct things and get it right, whatever it takes!"
Then GET UP and GET ACTIVE in the GIFT and RESPONSIBILITY of WRITING YOUR DESTINY, the RIGHT WAY! The least you can do is be a co-writer and get you some royalties… Let God handle the rest. Geez freakin’ Louise!
4. Invisible Foreign Entities: Those in this group love to purposefully or unwittingly hand their life’s trials, unanswered questions and destinies over to something that is not a part of them. Something that they can’t even see.
We’re not talking about getting help and support from The Creator Most High or The Spirit of The Universe or The Essence of Nature. Some things we have yet to fully understand or align with, but we know fundamentally that we are a part of it or made up of it’s substances. But people still keep seeking elsewhere and trying to find a microwaveable fix and the perfect scapegoat cop out for what WE should be making happen ourselves using what we are already made of. People ignore or downplay the elements that bring us into existence and materialize us; the ones that are connected to us from the inside out; or the elements that exist within. I’m no talking about stuff like that when I talk about people handing life and it’s tasks over to “invisible foreign entities”. Oh no, no, no… I’m thinking more like some random ass “spirit” or “energy” they’ve “tapped into” or are taken over by… This can come about many ways, but there are two in particular that I am seeing these days more than any.
A.(The willful tapping into) From doing retarded rituals they don't know enough about. Everybody and they momma is a tarot card reader, black magic practitioner, ouija board player, or ritual engager of some sort. As if the capability of whatever they seek or need is not designed within them already, through their Creator, built into their creation! Inviting all types of foreign substances and entities into their life, turning into a straight mess under mind control. This is especially true for the ladies. My God help us all. Crystals, beads, magic books, 432Hz high vibration meditational music from lala land, the I’m-a-witch skin tight T-shirts, extended eyelashes, mascara, extra lip gloss and all! Half of em can’t open a shoe box, the other half picked their nonsense up on YouTube from some specialist who had a deck of Wal-Mart cards and an iPhone with unlimited upload data over the weekend. It’s a beautiful site to see, ain’t it? Ask em something simple like what hertz are or the etymology of the term tarot and they’ll magically start bouncin’ around making cricket noises for some strange and magical reason. But you let them tell it, they’ve tapped into the consciousness of the Universe while Mercury was in Retrograde. I’m done… Somebody Tweet Obama, PLEASE!
B. (The unwitting take over) From constantly strutting around through life as a disconnected open vessel. You can’t tell (or show) knuckleheads nothing! Especially these days. There is a whole bunch of soul snatching entities out here. The kind that are desperate and in need of taking over your being and using it as a vessel. Replacing your purpose with their intentions. Even your government that you love living under is practicing silent, unseen takeover operations on you. I would explain, but if you need a debriefing on a piece of what I speak of, go check out Passage E5, for starters. Those under the B category refuse to activate, step their game up, and amplify their higher faculties in mind and spirit. Trust me, they’ve got more important stuff to worry about. The Bible says wickedness scours the Earth looking for those it may devour and use. You don’t have to be a christian to recognize the blatant truth to that one. If one operates on the B plane, they are always open for whatever spirits or unseen elements that pop up to use them. Whether it’s a demon, a con artist in human form, or a satellite with sending out brain altering algorithms. Many people exist as a type of host that unintentionally allows itself to be possessed by someone or something. If it’s not immediately obvious to their underdeveloped five senses, they don’t know what the hell is going on and don’t care. Their version of stepping up does nothing towards the correction or solution, but you’d better appreciate them any way as far as they are concerned. Ha! You better dig deep and see if this is happening to you! Or seek the help of a knowing, functioning being in your space! You better watch out for the imps of Passage E5! Or you’ll be unconsciously soul selling and hosting unwitting possessions! In this case, the host has no intention. They are a vessel, and the intent is owned, operated and managed by the possessor. The person lives through life with no real knowledge of, or genuine concern for any of it. Everything is normal to them and they are being themselves. You can’t tell them nothing! This is probably the worse one of them all and deserves it's own separate and exclusive cipher. No laughing matter at all.🙁
5. Those We Idolize and Look Up To: How about this last gnarly pack of dedicants, huh? The ones that take the good things that they want to see happen, and give the responsibility right away, to someone they don’t know and will never meet or talk to.
Problems in the community? Let the mayor, alderman or city councilman handle it! No, better yet, write to your local congress. Yeah, they’ll come to the rescue. They always do… Don’t they?
Need better jobs or better health care? Oh, don’t trip, the new presidential candidate has already proclaimed his solution to the problem. “He’s got it covered. I did my part and voted, so it’s all good. Now all I gotta do is sit and wait.” Looking ass.
Got a spiritual or religious problem you need to fix? Let your Mega church pastor pray and preach it away! Just sit, listen, throw in a few affirming remarks, and you’re all set!
Doesn’t matter what it is. We are the masters of outsourcing our Life, rights, freedoms and grand tasks. I’ve definitely had at least one foot in the shallow end of this group, waddling in the illusion of defeat. Sadly, many of us are undesirably drowning in it and can’t escape. Even sadder, some are pridefully diving head first in it, from a swan dive into a gainer. Swimming in it, with backstrokes, butterfly’s and all. See, many people just flat out insist they aren’t in a position to do anything. So they live out their intentions or destiny vicariously. Through the ones around them, in person, that are the actual thinkers and doers; or through those whom are in the limelight enough for them to read about, hear on the radio or see on TV; right on up to the biggest, fondest, or most peculiar names they idolize.

I could write up a few hundred of these horrifying mentality statements in a news flash. And don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about here. You’ve either seen it a thousand times or have been doing it yourself. It’s pretty much all I’ve ever seen from about 95 percent of the population that I’ve encountered. Most of the time this mess is coming from the ones who never did nothing worth talking about in their circumstantial lives… But they sure will cling to someone that has been handling business the right way. Either someone who rules them, or someone they admire in an unhealthy way. Remember, a few decades ago the supply was limited for the vicarions. Now, with the internet and a dumb ass phone, the vicarious livers can “tap into” an infinite number of doers. They have a global supply of achievers to live through and dump their intents onto, right at their finger tips, 24 hours a day! Well at least they actually gotta lift a finger to do it, huh? Give ’em a break will ya?
The systems and people we look to and live through are the ones whom we insist are the exceptions to the rules of irresponsible unmanifested intentions. Why? Because unlike us (if you let us tell it), they actually do have the means and are in a position to do something. But we don’t. Yeah, right. Vicarions will live out their intentions through anybody that fits the bill. It could be your local community activist, policemen, your favorite business mogul, sports figure, artist, entertainment icon, popular YouTube blogger, podcaster, motivational speaker, politician, etc, etc, etc. Whatever gets you off baby! Let’s get it! So much for the infamous swim team, huh? They’ve graduated to the oarless rowing team with no coxswain. Did you catch that? Keep up if you can! 🙂
People love to “do their part” by keeping up with the good Samaritan activities, philanthropic endeavors and holiday community contributions of their favorite American Idols. After watching them perform their show, of course. This is exactly the reason why Evan Carmichael started saying, "Stop watching the freaking videos about success and get up and get something done! Put it into action!". He didn’t use those exact words, but quite close. Same message.
Stop it, foolish little kids, and at least intend on becoming functioning children looking to actually grow the blank up at some point! It’s time to get real. I don’t know about you but I’m nobody’s flunkee. I have to graduate!
At the end of the day, when it’s all said and done… Most people just find their comfort zone amidst the failure, defeat or turmoil, and force some sense out of it that doesn’t add up in any math book, be it literal or metaphorical. Heck, half of the excuses they conjure up as a justifiable cop out doesn’t even exist at all!
Good for them!
Not good for us…
Take my hand. Come, let us reason together and graduate the right way, shall we?

Come on with it, UD! I gotta leave a comment to these “Universal” writings. I wonder if most of the Inhabitants called HUMANS, on this “BEAUTIFUL” God giving planet called EARTH, will take the time to read, appreciate and understand them. As for me, I’m all for such wisdom that these writings bring to the surface of my mind. All I can say is, it’s like going to school for me, and I always love to learn through new ideas and different perspectives. Learning is my favorite pass time. If you want to call it that. Those “Obama’ videos gave me a whole different respect and knowledge of my brother. They were comical, knowledgeable and heart touching. After watching and listening to them, my view of him made a 180 degree turn. I say to him and anybody else “You got my respect from now on, my Brother”. 🙂
When I got to the list of the “SILENT KILLERS”, there was no denying it. At that point, the game was up as for those of us still in denial about the point, being stubborn and making excuses. There really are no excuses,they are just plain cop outs. A people lost in the belief of being a “NOTHING”. The way I see it, the message is quite clear: “Intentions are personal goals for future actions and have more to do with “DOING” than just “SPEAKING”! So stop talking and start doing!!! No more using circumstances, OK?
