You do. If this world, and then I will silence. If you are going to get to the point, because you have to know, once again, illusion versus reality. But your illusion impacts so many things. Wave your hand and there's nothing to stop that vibration from here to back unto you through the universe. Everything affects everything else. And yet this illusion you have learned to create life. Okay, God said, all right, you can tamper around with this. But there is a no-no, and you've tampered with it too. And the no-no was that man shall not be able to create death. Because death of a body is nothing.

Dispersion of a soul with its inability to reassemble is absolutely unacceptable. unacceptable and therefore some of the technology that you have that you're playing with, if a chain reaction started it would hype and hype and hype and hype and it would become so incredibly explosive I guess is the word that you perceive in this physical reality into vapor and it can do it the whole thing could go in less than 15 minutes from start, ignition to total vaporization at which point your planet would be encapsulated in what we will call a plasmic bubble cosmic bubble and you would become a gaseous star. And if you look around you on any night you will see a billion and a half of them.

Earth is not a particularly bright star. It is one of the most beautiful planets ever created for man to experience. And he's been awfully hard on it and she tends herself pretty well because she is a life form that renews herself. She is what we can truly call a mother in reproduction at all times and you are the ants on the anthill and you were told not to get that tree with those apples or whatever they called them. A little Hawaiian once said, and this was worthy of thought, it is not the apple in the tree that's so damaging, it's that pear on the ground. So let's always keep in mind the gifts we have. If you are going to start a chain reaction, you can survive a radiation belt disaster. That would be this incredible light period of time that would damage you so badly.

But you can survive that. be on that and it gets out of control that that axis is going to be shifted and all we have to do is just release it. It's held in place as we speak totally physically with electromagnetic power. It will be released and it will go and it will be instantaneous and it could be any time. That's up to you. I'm going to take my leave. I thank you all. I thank my family who's come home to visit. I thank the new ones.

And we're going to enjoy a wedding next week. We get a day off and we get to watch. And probably eat cake, I hope. So blessings to all of you. Thank you for coming. The ones who have not experienced it before, don't go away thinking we're Jay-Z night. The sunglasses are to protect her eyes so that when we get home, I can go right back to work with her. This is a real McCoy.

This is it. And I'm having a hell of a good time. And so are you. Salute. Before we break up, let me make an announcement or two. We have two 90-minute tapes of Louis Farrakhan. and I'll start them before I leave with her so that they can be running and I would suspect that if we were really quiet that you could have a break at the same time as you listen to the tapes I Guess if anybody wants to have any conversations, they should not be around here where we're trying to tape this We're going to have to tape it to get some volume into these word tapes.

So, please keep the noise around the table here to a minimum, so that the tapes can be running at the same time as you're having your cake and... Eating it too. We'll save some time. After about 15 minutes of attempting to record while we ate and talked and attempted to listen at the same time, and since the hour for us was already approaching a time when we might normally be dispersing, and also since the quality of the tapes we received was less than optimally desired, we chose to re-record the tapes at a separate time, which is what I'm attempting to do that re-recording, hoping to compensate somewhat for the sometimes almost inaudible sound, as you'll hear in the beginning, and other less than desirable features of the recording we received. This is an address given by Louis Farrakhan on Sunday, February the 23rd, 1997 gathering, and going to about one minute from the end of side B of tape number five that you will receive.

So enjoy. The tape will begin almost immediately. In the name of Allah. As a student of the Honourable Elijah Muhammad, I am eternally grateful to Allah for his intervention in our midst. He's a messenger to us, but we believe him to be more than a messenger. We believe him to be the Messiah that the whole world has been looking for. I greet all of you, my dear and wonderful brothers and sisters, those who are here at the pavilion and those who are watching at the International Amphitheatre where there is not an empty seat or any space anywhere, and those who are watching via satellite throughout America and throughout the world. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the workshop.

I would like to thank the heads of state and government who sent words of encouragement to us. President Sani Abacha of Nigeria, President Jerry John Rawlings Brother and President Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, I understand that we have heard words from Cuba and words from Jamaica, and unfortunately we were not able to get words from President of the Sudan through the Speaker of the Parliament and the leader of Islam in the Sudan, Brother Dr. Hassan Sarabi. But we will have their message included in the tape of this occasion. I would like to thank and praise Allah for the presence of the Reverend Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis. As the Reverend Dr. Chavis came by my side to help build a nation of obedience to the will of God. I want all to make room. We have on this roster many wonderful Christian ministers, and I would not want any Christian minister to feel that Reverend Chavis coming to Islam is a negative things toward the Christian community. But you must understand, and after today's lecture, I hope that you will understand that it is unnecessary for us to be divided by It is rather better that we be united by principle.

Reverend Chavis is not an enemy of the Church, and this move does not signify that, and I don't see myself or those with me as enemies of the Church. I see us as those whom God has raised to inspire the Church, to motivate the Church, to get the Church back on the path that Almighty The Church must speak to the total liberation, not only of our people, but of all people who have been enslaved by false concepts and ideas that are rooted in religion. that I'm going to deliver today has no name. It is a message that I believe God wants to give to us, and so it is a Savior's Day gift from God himself to each and every one who will hear this and see this today, or who will hear and see this any time in the future, it is a gift from God to you. All gifts command the attention of the receiver, particularly if the gift is wrapped in green and trimmed with gold. The green represents life.

is designed by Allah to revive the essence of God in each and every one of us. The gold represents the essence of God in us, which is covered with dross. What is dross? Dross is waste matter, refuse, a waste product, an impurity, especially an oxide formed on the surface of molten metal, a waste product taken off of molten metal during smelting, especially metallic in character. Draught is that which is worthless, commonplace, or trivial. The world sees us as worthless. The world sees us as commonplace or trivial. But we are not that.

But it is the dross that is trivial, that is commonplace and worthless, that covers the real value of us as human beings. This purifying message is designed by Allah to remove the dross from our divine essence, purifying it as the purification of fine gold. Gold is the finest or best transmitter of the most mysterious and eternal force in existence, and that force is electricity. When we are purified, we will become the eternal transmitter of God's divine spirit and wisdom, thus making us al-Bayt Allah, the true house of God is not the cathedral. The house of God is not the mosque or the church. It is not Mecca or the Vatican or Jerusalem. united in the bond of love where their essence has been purified, and God's Spirit and wisdom come up from that people and through that people.

And so today's Savior's day gift to us all. It is the gift of eternal life. As this message unfolds, I would want each of us to focus on ourselves and our life experience. This message will show us how our life experience, regardless to what they were or are, our trials and our tribulations, connects us directly to Him intimate way. All human life is patterned after the Originator. I intend, by the grace of God, to make God so real today that you don't have to look out in space for Him. You can reach right out and touch it. All human life is patterned after the Originator. in the image and the likeness of God. When we use the term image, it means that we are like God in form, appearance, semblance. We are a counterpart, a copy, a double. A double. Image means a concrete representation of another. It means to mirror or reflect. And when you look in the mirror and see an image of yourself, and when you look at each other, you should see a reflection of yourself. Therefore it is written, how can you love God, whom you Men and women, man and woman, cannot come into our Genesis, and we cannot bring in a new and perfect world until we have experienced and come to know the full knowledge of self and the full knowledge of God.

For these two knowledges is one knowledge. The knowledge of self is the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of God is the knowledge of self. So let us begin, we're all to begin, with the knowledge of God. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us God is self-created. Let's stop right there. The Holy Qur'an says, He is not begotten. Well, if God is not begotten, then he is the originator of himself. In the process of God's self-creation, he had to overcome darkness which was very real. Listen, listen. He had to overcome darkness as well. Our beginning bears witness to his beginning. Therefore no light is conceived in light. Let me read it to you from the holy Qur'an. Allah says in the Qur'an that He created you from a single essence of being and made it mate of the same kind. Stop!

Brothers, sisters, when you say, and God made man, and you make the creation of woman something strange, we're making an error that causes mistreatment of the female. And any misunderstanding of the female and mistreatment of the female denies us access to God. I want you to hear me. Allah says, He creates you in the wombs of your mothers. Creation after creation in triple darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. Out of which Allah created himself has no equal except in the triple darkness of the womb of the female.

I'm going to say it again, and I'm going to prove it scientifically now. of which God created himself has no equal except in the darkness of the womb of the female. God has made her womb a replication of the womb out of which she came. Let's look at this. You think darkness outside is darkness. Wrong. Darkness outside is an illusion. There is no real darkness in this universe except the womb of the female. In a few hours, it'll be dark.

And you will say, I'm in the dark. But that's an illusion, that's not real, because dark darkness disappears with the presence of light. Why? Because it's not real. in is the shadow created by light striking the earth. And when the light strikes the earth on the other side, this side is under the earth's shadow. You call it nice, but is in the womb of the female, how much does God love her that He makes her to resemble the womb out of darkness into light. Now let's look.

Bear with me. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said he started as an atom of light. Now if you really want to know how God began, study how we begin. How did we begin? What was your beginning? A tiny microscopic sperm touched an egg in the darkness of the womb and created the first cell of life, a drop of blood. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that that drop of blood began rotating in the darkness of the womb. Now the blood could not rotate except that light was present in the essence of the self. I want you to hear this. If light is in the essence of the self, energy is there, intelligence is there. God formed himself in the darkness.

That darkness that we have to overcome now is the real darkness of our ignorance. But you must understand that in the process of evolution and growth, it attends with pain. You do. If this world, and then I will silence. If you are going to get to the point, because you have to know, once again, illusion versus But your illusion impacts so many things. Wave your hand and there's nothing to stop that vibration from here to back unto you through the universe. Everything affects everything else. And yet this illusion you have learned to create life. Okay, God said, alright, you can tamper around with this.

But there is a no-no, and you've tampered with it too. And the no-no was that man shall not be able to create death. Because death of a body is nothing. Dispersion of a soul with its inability to reassemble is absolutely unacceptable. And therefore some of the technology that you have that you're playing with, if a chain reaction started it would hype and hype and hype and hype and it would become so incredibly explosive, I guess is the word, that you would understand. It can absolutely blow everything that you perceive in this physical reality into vapor and it can do it, the whole thing could go in less than 15 minutes from start, ignition to total vaporization. At which point your planet would be encapsulated in what we will call a plasmic bubble and you would become a gaseous star.

And if you look around you on any night you will see a billion and a half of them. Earth is not a particularly bright star. It is one of the most beautiful planets ever created for man to experience. And he's been awfully hard on it. And she tends herself pretty well because she is a life-form that renews herself. She is what we can truly call a mother in reproduction at all times. And you are the ants on the anthill. And you were told, you were told not to get that tree with those apples, or whatever they call them. A little Hawaiian once said, and this is worthy of thought, it is not the apple in the tree that's so damaging, it's that pear on the ground.

So let's always keep in mind the gifts we have. If you are going to start a chain reaction, you can survive a radiation belt disaster. That would be this incredible light period of time that would damage you so badly, but you can survive that. If it's going to go beyond that and it gets out of control, that axis is going to be shifted and all we have to do is just release it. It's held in place as we speak, totally physically, with electromagnetic power. It will be released and it will go and it will be instantaneous. And it could be any time.

That's up to you. I'm going to take my leave. I thank you all. I thank my family who's come home to visit. I thank the new ones, and we're going to enjoy a wedding next week. We get a day off and we get to watch, and probably eat cake, I hope. So blessings to all of you. Thank you for coming. The ones who have not experienced it before, don't go away thinking we're Jay-Z night. when we get home I can go right back to work with her. This is a real McCoy.

We have two 90 minute tapes of Louis Farrakhan and I'll start them before I leave with her so that they can be running and I would suspect that if we were really quiet that you could have a break at the same time as you listen to the tapes. I guess if anybody wants to have any conversations they should not be around here where we're trying to tape this. We're going to have to tape it to get some volume into these word tapes.

So please keep the noise around the table here to a minimum so that the tapes can be running at the same time as you're having your cake and eating it too. We'll save some time. After about 15 minutes of attempting to record while we ate and talked and attempted to listen at the same time, and since the hour for us was already approaching a time when we might normally be dispersing, and also since the quality of the tapes we received was less than optimally desired, we chose to re-record the tapes at a separate time, which is what I'm doing now. I'm attempting to do that re-recording, hoping to compensate somewhat for the sometimes almost inaudible sound, as you'll hear in the beginning, and other less than desirable features of the recording we received.

This is an address given by Louis Farrakhan on Sunday, February 23, 1997, although we do not know where it was given. It will last about two hours and fifty minutes, beginning here, about nine minutes into tape number three from our Sunday, March 16, 1997, gathering, and going to about one minute from the end of side B of tape number five that you will receive. So enjoy. The tape will begin almost immediately. In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful, we give Him praise and thanks for His mercy, His guidance to all of us through His servants the prophets.

We thank Him for Moses and the Torah. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets.

We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets. We thank Him for the prophets.

We thank him for Moses and the Torah, we thank him for Jesus and the Gospel, we thank him for Muhammad and the Qur'an, peace be upon these worthy servants of Allah. As a student of the Honourable Elijah Muhammad, the great master. We thank him for his coming and for his raising up in our midst, his messenger to us. But we believe him to be more than a messenger. We believe him to be the Messiah that the whole world has been looking for. Dear Kibra, dear Muhammad, I greet all of you, my dear and wonderful brothers and sisters, those who are here at the pavilion, and those who are watching via satellite throughout America and throughout the world. I would like to thank everyone who participated in the workshop. I would like to thank my national staff, particularly Minister Ismail Mohamed and all of those who worked with him to make Saviour's Day 1997 a great success.

I would like to thank the heads of state and government who sent words of encouragement President Sani Abacha of Nigeria, President Jerry John Rawlings of Ghana, Brother and President Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. I understand that we heard words from Cuba and words from Jamaica, and unfortunately we were not able to get words from President Bashir of the Sudan through the Speaker of the Parliament and the leader of Islam in the Sudan, Brother Dr. Hassan Sarabi. But we will have their message included in the tape of this occasion, I would like to thank and praise Allah for the presence of the Reverend The Reverend Dr. Chavis came by my side to help make the Million Man March a success. I'm very happy to welcome him by my side to help build a nation of obedience to the will of God.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I want all to make room. We have on this roster many wonderful Christian ministers, and I would not want any Christian minister to feel that Reverend Chavis coming to Islam is a negative thing toward the Christian community.

But you must understand, and after today's lecture, I hope that you will understand that it is unnecessary for us to be divided by label. It is rather better that we be united by principle. is not an enemy of the Church, and this move does not signify that, and I don't see myself or those with me as enemies of the Church. I see us as those whom God has raised to inspire the Church, to motivate the Church, to get the Church back on the path that Almighty God wants the Church to be on, and the Church must, the Church must speak to the total liberation, not only of our people, but of all people who have been enslaved by false concepts and ideas that are rooted in religion. Now, the subject that I'm going to deliver today has no name. wants to give to us, and so it is a Savior's Day gift from God himself to each and every one who will hear this and see this today, or who will hear and see this any time in the future, it is a gift from God to you.

of the receiver, particularly if the gift is well wrapped. Today's gift is wrapped The green represents life. The message today is designed by Allah to revive the essence of God in each and every one of us. The gold represents the essence of God in us, which is covered with dross. What is dross? Dross is waste matter, refuse, a waste product taken off of molten metal during smelting, especially metallic in character. Gross is that which is worthless, commonplace, or trivial. The world sees us as commonplace or trivial. We may act that way, but we are not that. But it is the drop that is trivial, that is commonplace and worthless, that covers the real value of us as human beings.

being. This purifying message is designed by Allah to remove the dross from our divine essence, purifying it as the purification of fine gold. Gold is the finest or best transmitter transmitter of the most mysterious and eternal force in existence, and that force is electricity. When we are purified, we will become the eternal transmitter of God's divine Spirit and wisdom, thus making us al-Bayt al-lah, the true house of God. The house of God is not the cathedral. The house of God is human beings united in the bond of love where their essence has been purified, and God's Spirit and wisdom come up from that And so today's Savior's Day gift is what is referred to in Scripture as eternal life, and this is our Savior's Day gift to us all. It is the gift of eternal life. I would want each of us to focus on ourselves and our life experience.

This message will show us how our life experience, regardless to what they were or are, our trials connections connects us directly to him who originated the heavens and the earth in the most intimate way. All human life is patterned after the Originator. I intend, by the grace of God, to make God so real today that you don't have to look out in space for him. You can reach right out and touch it. Listen. All human life is patterned after pattern after the originator. Therefore, according to the Bible, man and woman are made in the image and the likeness of God. When we use the term image, it means that we are like We are a counterpart, a copy, a type, an embodiment. Image means one that closely resembles or exactly resembles another, a double, a double. Image means a concrete representation of another. It means to mirror or reflect. And when you look in the mirror and see an image of yourself, and when you look at each other, you should see a reflection of yourself. Therefore it is written, how can you love God? Whom you have never seen, and hate your brother whose reflection whom you see every day.

Men and women, man and woman, cannot come into our Genesis, and we cannot bring in a new and perfect world until we have experienced and come to know the full knowledge of self and the full knowledge of God. For these two knowledges is one knowledge. The knowledge of self is the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of God is the knowledge of self. So let us begin where it all began, with the knowledge of God. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us God is self-created. Let's stop right there. The Holy Qur'an says, he is not begotten. Well, if God is not begotten, then he is the originator of himself. In the process of God's self-creation, he had to overcome many things. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that Allah created himself out of the material of the darkness. He had to overcome a real darkness, and we have to overcome darkness as well. Our beginning bears witness to his beginning.

It's conceived in light. All light starts in triple darkness and then comes out of triple darkness into light. Let me read it to you from a single essence of being and made it mate of the same kind. Stop. Brother, sister, when you say, and God made man, and you make the creation of woman something strange. We're making an error that causes mistreatment of the female. And any misunderstanding of the female and mistreatment of the female denies us access to God. I want you to hear me. Allah says, He creates you in the wombs of your mothers. Creation after creation in triple darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. Now, the darkness out of which Allah created himself has no equal except in the triple darkness of the womb of the female. I'm going to prove it scientifically now. The darkness out of which God created himself has no equal except in the darkness of the womb of the womb out of which he came.

Now let's look at this. You think darkness outside is darkness. Wrong. Darkness outside is an illusion. There is no real darkness in this universe except the womb of the female. Now listen, in a few hours it'll be dark. And you will say, I'm in the dark. But that's an illusion, that's not real. Because touch darkness disappears with the presence of light. Why?

Because it's not real. What you're walking in is the shadow created by light striking the earth. And when the light strikes the earth on the other side, this side is under the earth's shadow. You call it night, but it's not real darkness. But real darkness is in the womb of the female. How much does God love her that he makes her to resemble the womb out of which he created himself, to show you that he is ever working in darkness, to bring things out of darkness into light. Now let's look. Bear with me.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, he started as an atom of life. And if you really want to know how God began, study how we begin. How did we begin? What was your beginning? A tiny microscopic sperm touched an egg in the darkness of the womb, and created the first cell of life, a drop of blood. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that that drop of blood began rotating in the darkness of the womb. Now, the blood could not rotate except that light was present in the darkness.

He had to overcome the darkness. That darkness that we have to overcome now is the real darkness of our ignorance. What you must understand that in the process of evolution and growth, it attends with pain.
