Is your Mind Shackle Free: This is not a Riddle: This is some Knowledge to Stimulate your Mind and Make you Think. Ask Yourself, is my Mind Shackle Free?

When I wrote my book "Is Your Mind Shackle Free about four or more years ago?" I was inspired by a book I read titled: "The Willie Lynch Letter and The Making of A Slave" This book deals with phsychological slavery. A friend of mind down south shared this information with me. In return, I shared it with any and everyone I came in contact with. I was like Paul Revere in a sense. He said, "The British are coming." I am saying: "Our Freedom is coming, Our Freedom is coming!" The Freedom I am speaking of is: "The Freedom of The Psychological Slave!" The Psychological Slave may only affect us on a individual case by case basis; being that there are a lot of successful Black/African Americans throughout the world. Although, I feel until we are all free as a group of people, we will never be freed from this plague. Do you agree or disagree?I want my message to remain with you. Just so we are on the same page, my message deals with, "AWARENESS and KNOWLEDGE!" I feel this will help us free our mind of all shackles. So please, ask yourself, is my mind shackle free? If you answer no, ask yourself: "Then don't you think it is time?"...I do!This is my main reason for writing about it. The Proclamation was issued September 22, 1862 and placed into affect January 1, 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln which stated that all slaves are free. In the year 2008, way after the physical aspect of slavery is gone; we are still haunted by the Mental Slavery. Thank you again,

I was born March 24, 1967. I was raised in a home with mostly women. My mother was a single parent, who worked as a caretaker, maid and various other jobs to support our family. We even contributed as recipients to the government's financial system....(aka welfare). She raised seven children, four daughters and three sons. I am an identical twin. Although my twin did not survive; his spirit and presence has and always will be with me. Knowing I am a twin gives me an extra drive to become successful. I am a proud father of two children, one girl and one boy. I have tried my share of careers. My main goal in mind is to show the younger people in my family that if you never give up; you can do anything you set your mind to. I served a total of 18 years in the military and attended several colleges, while serving our country. Immediately after my Honorable Discharge from the Military; I was a Corrections Officer and a Certified Instructor. I was giving the opportunity to model locally, which leads to acting positions. I was an extra in Jane Seymour's movie, "Sun Stroke"; and had a bit part in a Billy Blank's movie; "Showdown." (I catch a beat down. Funny scene though; plus it $PAID WELL! YEP!) I am the type of person who faces my mistakes and issues straight on and some people are not use to this method. In 1987, I attended Basic Training. My Drill Sergeants had me recite this; "Good Better Best, Never Let Me Rest, Until My Good Is Good and My Betters Best!" I am not sure were they got this, but I still remember it. I also try to live by it.
