Jackmon Foundation. While participating in the peer group sessions, we noticed how Dr. M conducted the sessions , how the general process took place. There was and underlying reality that connected the classical Afrikan myth-ritual with the contemporary.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, we are in our fourth session, our sessions include 11 young Afrikan males, and three adults. even though we didn't know each other from ADAM, what all connected us is Dr. M's book, "How to Recover..." <BR/><BR/>So Far the young brothers have made some progress in understanding (to a degree) addiction. Our clear goals of the group include (1)positive group processing, (2)developing techniques and strategies to deal with obstacles as they come up and (3) practically working at materializing our 5 year goals. Even though Dr. M has not been able to physically participate in the group so far, it is because of the training that Dr. M has provided us that makes the peer group so successful. (Dr. M told us that we were now ready to lead our own mental health peer groups, so Bam, here it is!) In fact I don't believe that we are successful, but I do know that we are on our way. Now i can see on the horizon the vultures appearing along with the snakes in the grass. They want to control and limit the natural power that the youth harness, I write this communique partly as a check in with the greater good of humanity through the support of Dr. M and his work; but I also write this communique as a plea for help, for we are engaged in psychological warfare. And there are forces out here in the periphery of our field of battle attempting to manipulate, pollute and pervert these young brothers into being neo- negroes in a post industrial society. <BR/><BR/>Pretty soon the brothers will be ready to dialogue with you all themselves....stay tuned...<BR/><BR/>Ramal Lamar<BR/>Ph.D Candidate in Negrology, with a concentration in North American Afrikan Mythology <BR/>Thesis Advisor: Dr. Mta-mathematahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618365446948536619noreply@blogger.com
