A Universal Proposal

It has come to my attention that a so-called "National" Proposal has been advanced to cure "differentiations, alterations, and modifications of our national doctrine," etc. This proposal concerns itself with some of the textual changes that have occurred in the various versions of 120. (Versions; A form or variation of an earlier or original model).
On the face of it, I think that a critical examination and exegesis of 120 would be in order in this day and time. I suggested this many times since 1981. I recommended a panel of scientists and scholars be nominated and that an authorized version be adopted with a commentary citing various authorities. Well, at this point in time I can still see that that idea has not been grasped in its entirety. But more about that later.
Now, one of the early deletions pointed out, "skunk of the planet Earth," was not deleted from the lessons I brought out of the Temple. Guess who it was that said these lessons were "poison"? And yet how often did they get copied while at Auburn Prison by the ones who had the copying concession? But as word is my bond, I never received one free copy, but paid in cash for all I required.
As a true and progressive 5%, I bear witness that the original man is the Asiatic Blackman, maker, owner, cream of the planet Earth, and God of the Universe. Not a tribal God, a neighborhood God, or a national God, but a UNIVERSAL God. I am the God of many nations, and many attributes. The most basic and fundamental degree of Student Enrollment says quite plainly "God of the Universe." The flag of the 5% is a UNIVERSAL flag. Those 120 degrees are not a national teaching but a UNIVERSAL teaching.
Since this is known and cannot be honestly disputed, why then, when faced with this doctrinal error, so basic and so simple, do certain individuals not correct themselves? Because it would mean that they were in error? If one single individual, through egoistical lust for self-importance chose to continue this course of action for himself, rather than admit error, then the matter would be of no concern to me. As I have said "Let the wise pursue wisdom and the fools perish." But this is no time for individual selfishness, but for the collective self. We face genocide.
After a long period of silence, I am now moved to speak out in time to prevent a reactionary priesthood from causing any further division. What we have today are lessons in a concentrated form that were presented in written form in the early 1930s. The wisdom of commentary have since expanded that knowledge in the manifestation of Supreme Wisdom 1 and 2, and Message to the Blackman in America. All the locks had been opened. The Knowledge and Wisdom have been made manifest and the door left wide open for a long time. The key has always been in the Understanding. The seals have long ago been lifted.
The wise have pursued wisdom. and the fools shall soon perish, because while they try to play the Wise man, with their own words they reveal their foolishness. If they had only kept their mouths shut, no one would know the fools that they are. They have spent their days writing letters and speaking slander behind every true and living God who spoke the truth and challenged their religious mythologies in the open. (Allah is not unseen and unheard. but is seen and heard everywhere, for he is the All-Seeing-Eye).
Just like the Pharisees of Jesus’ time, in their jealousy and ignorance, these hypocrites would seal off the true understanding for others, and yet they get it not themselves. Allah came and left. The Messenger left his message. Now, these current religion-making frauds forever obscure these teachings while elevating the teacher into a supernatural personage. "Oh, he was much more than a man," they say. But they lie! He was a man and a God like you or I, and what he taught is for us to go forward with. We are not here to worship Allah, but to be Allah. And now these priests have a new religious ornamentation: "(PBUH)" which means "Praise Be Unto Him." which of course. comes from the Ansar Muslim teachings.
I know this probably goes over big with the 85%ers that are to be found in many of today’s ciphers. After all, these are the "followers" that the 10% reactionary priesthood recruit and lead. While these priests are borrowing the religious orientation from the Ansar Muslims (like that Gumar-Oz-Dumar mythology* See Universal Truth, Vol. 1, No.1. On the Word God; A Commentary, pp. 4.), they encourage blind worship of the dead prophets, while slandering the "true and living God." We don’t need another religion. In a few years, if these priests have their way, they’ll have prayers and candles lit in front of Allah’s picture at the ciphers. "A True History of the Lessons"
Allah received his 120 while in the Temple of the old Nation of Islam. These lessons were known then generally as Lost-Found Muslim Lessons, or -the Lessons." Before that, during the days of Fard, they were known as "The Secret Ritual of the Nation of Islam. “After the power struggle in the mid-193Os upon the departure of Master Fard Muhammad, it was from his student, Elijah Muhammad’s individual copy of the lessons that the subsequent N.O.I. copies were made.
My Lost-Found Muslim Lesson No. 2 says at its very beginning, (which I had underlined on my copy). "This lesson answered very near correct... " Does anyone know why? It was because a wise man is cognizant that error can exist, that he can make the proper precautions to prevent or offset it creeping in. It is the fool who will never admit error that always repeats it. Since he has denied the possibility of error, and thereby refusing the admission of such, there can be no correction on his part.
Further, the admission of the possibility that error could creep in kept a vigilance around the contents of the lessons. This was because in those early days. every set of lessons were individually typed. The photocopying machines that we know today hadn’t even been invented yet. (Back in those days we had "photostatic" machines which reproduced copies in the negative). And so, because every set of lessons were individually typed, each had its own peculiarities. Even the liquid correction fluid that most of us take for granted now-a-day, didn’t exist in the early Sixties. As a result, no two sets of lessons were identical. Still, that presented no problem. My consort had received her Student Enrollment with "Father of Civilization" missing. [In actuality, “father of civilization” was a recent addition probably a reaction to the common phrase, “mother of civilization.”] When she inquired of the M.G.T. officials concerning this, rather than admit error, they said that Chicago had provided the lessons that way. When I had asked individuals in Auburn Prison why "skunk of the planet Earth," was missing, they told me "Allah took it out because, since the colored man came from us, how could he be a skunk?" And so they blamed Allah... when it was Allah himself who said. "Don’t change a word of it." How come you never hear these characters who always say "Allah said... " never quote him on that?

When I was in the freedom cipher I had at least twelve different sets of lessons. A lot of the old Gods out there collect the different versions available. Since my imprisonment I’ve seen all kinds of different versions that the holders were willing to argue were right and exact. They weren’t having it otherwise. As I say, "let the fools perish."

But the point is not whether the lessons have been changed, here and there. They have, and that’s a fact, but their essence have already been expanded upon by scholars and scientists; that someone now brings up the subject does not make it a new one. What is important now, is that we don’t take up our time with trifles, or give priority to that which does not unite the 30 million, like making a religious sect of a Universal teaching.

I want to make a record of my objection to this so-called "National Proposal" because it is not addressed to a national body; that nation of thirty million knowingly excluded. I must object because I do not have any confidence in the intelligence, honesty, or personal integrity of the person making this so-called "National Proposal.” And while not making a challenge of the names nominated as leaders (called in the document “elders,” I do here propose that a larger body of scholars and scientists be nominated by the people (The 5%), in whose name the proposal is made, I think that it is both right and exact that the people who are directly affected by decisions made in their name ought to have the right to nominate those whom will decide.
For too long, individuals, for their own reasons and personal motives, have spoken in the name of God and the 5% that are not representative of truth or righteousness. To many, outside of the ranks of the 5% see the whole cipher as one of a street gang who prey like parasites on their own nation (the 30 million people of African descent in the wilderness of North America.) Yes, I know that the priests won’t admit that they belong to this nation of thirty million because it would contradict what they are saying in reference to a Five Percent "Nation." But time is running out. We cannot permit a few individuals who, because they refuse to admit error, would doom an entire nation to genocide. And so, because too many lies have been taught in the name of Allah, Allah himself is invoked to appear.
From time to time the necessity comes for the All-Seeing-Eye, God himself, in the flesh, to come forward and manifest himself and be seen and heard.Let Us come into the open and nominate 24 scientists who may diligently compare the various degrees extant and settle the question forthrightly by issuing an "Authorized Version of 120 Degrees."
Speaking in my present [1987] capacity as Editorial Director of The Universal Truth, all comments, both critical and suggestive, will be published, as well as the names nominated to settle the issue. Prince A Cuba Editorial Director [reprinted from The Universal Truth, Vol. 1, No.3]
