Paradigm Shift: What Every Student of Messenger Elijah Muhammad Should Know

By Nasir Hakim

This book simply appeals to the intellectual integrity of readers who possess a consistent yearning for enlightenment and access to all points of view to ensure a balanced approach towards continued growth.

It delves into the elements of thinking so it can introduce the idea, that in order to confirm anything is what it says it is, one has to first have a definition and a standard of reference or judgment on which that definition rests.

When we hear anyone utter the words that they are this or that, the need for proof arises. However, proof is dependent upon a standard of judgment or reference point. The most trust worthy is one which transcends time and geography. We would need a standard that is not dependent upon a religion or tradition or the like, because these institutions can always be changed and generally are.

A standard is something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison; an approved model. It as well is a rule or principle that is used as a basis for judgment.

The reader will find this book to be a valuable tool for testing the truth.

Preface

This book will assist the reader in re-evaluating their map to see the Messengership of Elijah Muhammad in its proper light. The map is not the territory; it is only a means of interpreting the territory. The Messenger teaches us that he is the direct representative of a God that’s not even associated with the 24 elders or scientist. This God, Master Fard Muhammad, revealed the Supreme Wisdom to Elijah Muhammad, which the other 24 in the circle didn’t have nor had rights to. They threw in their crowns (submitted). If they could have peeped into the Hereafter (7th thousand year period), they would have. But they couldn’t break the 7 Seals. They just couldn’t conceive it – No eye has seen it, no ear has heard it, nor has it enter into the hearts of men. But worthy is the Lamb. (Revelations, chapters 4 & 5). Don’t get it twisted. The reader will find that light in this book.

Nasir Hakim, Minister of Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah

Introduction

This book is prepared to assist those who seek the results of learning higher knowledge. When you have this particular type of knowledge, it enables its bearer to overcome obstacles, barriers or resistance. Simply having the latest information, tidbits of gossip or misinformation, doesn’t qualify. In this age of information, many have come to believe that quantity is just as valuable as quality, but when it comes to subject of theology (God Science), metaphysics (Form and Spirit) or esotericism (Mysteries and Secrets), quality is everything. The best quality is knowledge that’s firmly rooted or based on natural law and consistent with modern time.

Unfortunately, more times than not, when introduced to this type of knowledge, rarely are we told that incremental spiritual development is necessary; consequently, we take in knowledge or degrees of knowledge before time or too many at once, and it corrupts us, short changes us or extend us beyond our capacity. The result does more damage than good. It’s equivalent to giving a baby meat before giving it milk. The meat will not be ingested or digested properly, because the baby has no teeth to properly chew it. Once the un-chewed meat is swallowed, it taxes and overwhelms the tender stomach lining; thus setting the stage for ulcers.

Likewise, the right spiritual preparation manages the learner’s tolerance and capacity for higher knowledge. It equips them with the necessary ability to discern, perceive, and appreciate the breath, scope and depth of higher wisdom.

Higher learning enables its bearer to overcome obstacles, barriers and resistance.

In fact, Elijah Muhammad teaches that God means possessor of power and force. If you can act upon a thing and exert the ability to move it one way or another, that demonstrates an attribute of the creator called God. Making things move by physically exerting power or force on it is crude and but only one level of God power. There are other more refined levels.

I am reminded of a movie with the former California Governor Arnold schwarzenegger and James Earl Jones titled Conan, The Barbarian. It depicted James Earl Jones as a tyrant in his earlier days terrorizing the country side peasants such as Arnold and his people. James killed the young Arnold’s family right before his eyes and enslaved him. In addition to slaves, a precious sword (steel) made by Arnold’s father was part of the booty. Arnold eventually grew up and made it his life’s ambition to exact revenge.

Arnold’s initial opportunity was thwarted and just before he was to be beheaded, the older and more mature James Earl asked, Why have you broken into my home to kill me? Arnold answered, You killed my family. James Earl looked puzzled at first and then replied, Oh, yes, I remember. That was in my younger days when I thought steel was power. I was playing with steel. As his eyes glared upward he said, But now, let me show you what power is. He turned to his right, looked up at the mountain side where hundreds of his followers were standing, pointed to one of them and said, You my child, come here. She stepped off the mountain ledge, fell straight to the ground and perished from the fall. James Earl looked back at Arnold and said, That’s power!

Steel has been the weapon of choice to conquer and subdue the peoples of this world; yet, with the use of modern equipment, the word through the pen has become the real instrument of power. As it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end; for in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. (Bible 1 John 1:1). What will make thee know what that means?

It comes back to how to overcome obstacles, barriers and resistance. You can make someone move by physically exerting force on them yourself, or you can get them to move by their own inner force, which is controlled by their mind. This is where words have their affect. For as a person thinketh so are they. Having control over one’s own conduct, direction and self determination is a start, before reaching out to control others.

We all, generally speaking, are born with minds as clean slates or blank sheets. Our experiences, produced from the nerves, etc… of our senses write, if you will, on those blank sheets. Every experience is written and they are thoughts in the mind. Each experience brings us into the know and stores it in our brains, as if it were on a ledge for storage for future retrieval or recall. Calculating with different combinations is the process we call thinking. With varying thoughts, we use the experiences or know-ledge to improve upon future experiences to make our level of living more pleasant, bearable, easy, profitable, successful, etc…. The degree to which we get away from acting like animals of the field is measured by degrees. The greater our degree of knowledge, the higher we are in civilization; the meaning being one having knowledge, wisdom, understanding, culture, refinement, is not savage, the pursuit of happiness.

I begin here, not to insult those who already
