The REBEL-LION In Heaven: A BLAK Interpretation
The biblical Struggle between Luci (THE Rebel Lion) and his/her Army of Arch Angels versus God and his Army of Angels is not often explored nor analyzed especially bearing in mind that no human existed at the TIME thus leaving the recording and documentation of this drama to the imagination and “received wisdom’ of certain men and people. According to the Mythology, the highest created being in the Universe was Luci. Luci was very beautiful! For some reason -- that can never be fully explained or understood -- something changed in Lucifer’s Mind. S/he began to question God. Lucifer questioned God’s laws. Why couldn’t the Angels all decide for themselves what was Justice and Truth? Lucifer, the Bright Morning Star wondered...s/he questioned.
Luci claimed new ideas which would bring a new type of liberty and freedom to the Angels and to the Universe. Luci began to say that not only was there a better way, but that God was unfair. Finally Luci accused God of being a tyrant (wicked, selfish leader)! Many Angels listened to Luci and also began to question the nature of God.
Political Referendum in the Kingdom
Finally, God called for all the Angels who wanted to serve him to make a choice/vote. Would it be God or Lucifer? One third of the Angels voted to join with Lucifer. War broke out in Heaven. Luci, who had some how become "Sat-An", and his/her Angels were all put out of the Kingdom.
The REVOLT in Heaven led by the Angel Luci can be examined at several levels. At the level of governance…it can be analyzed as follows.
The Revolt in Heaven could symbolize / signify the archetypical political struggle in a Kingdom/Family structure / household between Parent and Child who has reached the age of maturity and begins to make own decisions. The ensuing ‘battle for space’ and ‘self-respect’ sets the Child on his/her own path notwithstanding the experiences accrued by the Parent. Thus, any respected contest to ideas, challenge to authority and or display of ambition does not necessarily equate to being ‘evil’. In Jamaican parlance, ‘two bulls can’t reign in one pen’, thus somebody have to leave!
Liberating Gender
The REVOLT in Heaven when examined philosophically and symbolically, could depict the ‘separation’ of the Gender; namely the “mystical parting” of the Sexes/Gender; Fe Male and the Male Principles.There are several Forms of Life that possess both male and female sex-Organs. Many males are born with an ‘excessive amount’ of female hormones and vice-versa. There is significant physiological evidence that suggests that both Sexes (Gender) at some remote point in TIME occupied a Single Body. Thus, any notion behind a Creation Myth that speaks to a Fe-male emerging from a Male is not in synch with the workings of NATURE. All males emerge from a female, at all levels and forms of NATURE, making Mother/Female/ Earth the Foundation of Existence and complimentary to Father/ Male/ Time. (fya pon di rib theory)
TWO BRAINS--LEFT AND RIGHT HEMISPHERE
We have two eyes, two hands, and two legs, so why not two brains? The brain is divided in half, a right and left hemisphere. The right hemisphere does a different job than the left. Thus, on a deeper psycho-physiological level of analysis and interpretation, BLACK/ African People do possess two (2) almost independent (heavens)Hemispheres of Consciousness , that is the right and left Brain respectively; male and female, complimenting without opposing. BLACK /African People however, have been deceived into opposing themselves “from within”; that is, the left side of the Brain [male] is “at war” with the [female] right side of the Brain, contextualized in a similar struggle of ‘good versus evil.’
It is through the Unity of both Hemispheres of Consciousness that FULL PSYCHIC POWERS will be generated while the SELF –destructive hatred of all things black will dissipate. Let InI UNITE our Left Hemispheric Brain with the Right Hemispheric Brain to achieve an INTERNAL HARMONY not experienced in the African for the past 2000 years. There is No Unity in the RACE without UNITY at the level of Gender.
