cases. When you realize and under
stand the conditions that prisoners
live under then you’ ll understand
how d iffic u lt it is to find a alter
native life style in prison. A ll praise
to God, the Beneficent, the Mer
ciful, an alternative exist in Oregon
State P enitentiary. W ith that
thought in mind, I contradict the
rumor that God is dead. Believe me
when I say that God is alive and well
and he is w orking overtim e in
Oregon State P enitentiary, this
statement can easily be verified in
the example o f a small group o f
African American inmates who are
members o f the American Muslim
M ission, fo rm a lly known as the
W orld Community o f Al-Islam in
the West and the Nation o f Islam.
A ll praise is due to God, the Most
Gracious, the Most M erciful, I ’ m
proud to say that I’ m a muslim and
a member o f the American Muslim
Mission. I f it wasn’t for Almighty
God and the religion o f Al-Islam,
I’m afraid that I too would be coun

the
lost

w restling w ith the violence that
governs this atmosphere and the
immorality that festers like an open

Before coming to prison, 1 had
few if any thoughts about God. I
was o f the mind that religion was a
trick bag that left men defenseless
and at the mercy o f the slavemaster.
But then you must realize that 1 had
a very distorted view o f God
because my eyes were shaded by the
need to survive. I felt that there
wasn’t anyway for me to pray and
survive at the same time. 1 refer to
the history of religion in this coun
try and how it was used to enslave
people. When one comes in to a
proper understanding o f God and
the religion o f G od, he then
becomes free to control and decide
the course o f his destiny. W ithout
such a proper understanding o f the
true nature o f religion, one becomes
a slave to the doctrine o f men - in
stead o f slaves of the doctrine of
Alm ighty God. Islam is without a
doubt the most m isunderstood
religion on the face o f the earth. I
think that mdst African Americans
w ill agree that IS L A M has been
good for us as a people. It is the
only religion that has addressed it
self to the social ills that we have
suffered from. It has cured junkies,
and reform ed prostitutes. Also
Islam leaves you w ith a sense o f
pride - it doesn’t crastrate or destroy
the spirit of a people.
I say these things because many of
the problems that black people suf
fer from are directly related to their
concept o f God. Prison in itself isn’ t
a destroyer o f men - it ’s the mind o f
men that run prisons that destroy
men. Islam teaches mankind to deal

with the forces that seek to destroy
the human spirit. I felt that my spirit
was being threaten through my con
finement and therefore 1 sought to
defend myself against the destruc
tive forces.
I write these articles because 1
have to fight the evil that exist here
behind these walls. 1 pray A llah
(God) that what I write is truthful
and enlightening to the public.
Please realize that if men don’t fight
against evil, then evil takes
possession o f them. Islam is n 't
passive nor is it hateful or destruc
tive. Islam is a builder of men in the
way o f God. Nothing on this earth
will ever cause me to turn around on
my Islam and there are other
brothers here in O.S.P. white and
Black that feel the same way.
A ll Praises is due to God, that
Islam has found its way into O.S.P.
and into the ghettos o f Amerika. 1
pray Allah (God) that everyone fin
ds their way to the struggle that men
and women must wage to become
morally, mentally, spiritually and
religiously free. (A lllah u Akbar).
God is Greatest and his greatness is
for every man and woman.

FROM THE FRONT DOOR
BY TOM B O O TH E
From the front door, I have covered the four basic zones of Human Interaction. Each zone
requires a stabilizer. There are three stablizing elements which must be recognized and
balanced on an equal basis within each zone. I call these elements, Dimensions of Percep
tion. They are: (1) The dimension or perception of all material and physical matter (2) The
dimension or perception of all knowledge, intellectual and mental awareness of form and
order in the abstract and non-material, (3) The dimension or perception of all inspirational
feelings and recognition of the powers, beauty and order of the forces beyond our ability to
produce or control in nature and the universe.
In order for one to have a well balanced and the most productive life possible there should be
about 8 hours spent in the creation and production of material values The next 8 hours
should be spent on reflections of things of a spiritual nature. After each 16 hours it becomes
important to reflect on the spiritual dimension. One should get away and retune and realign
himself to the awareness of natural phenomenon; this practiced schedule will strengthen
and expand ones capabilties immeasurably.
In order to maintain a constructive family life, this practice applies
In order to have a peaceful social life, the same schedule applies
When you are developing your Policy Belief Principles, and pursuing your Economic powers,
a well balanced schedule regarding these three dimensions of perception will be the wisest
way to account for your time.
Let's not forget that all Human Perception is limited to the physical dimension, the mental
dimension, and the spiritual dimension. How you schedule and balance your time between
these dimensions makes all the difference in the world. The closer you come to equally
balancing your time spent consciously reflecting within each dimension, the more inner
peace you will discover and the greater your attitude will be toward constructive production.
Your creative capacity will increase many fold. You will find that you will be prepared, for
whatever happens.
From the front door, over the past six weeks, I have covered the basic essential zones of
human interactions by which you can formulate a life of C O N STR U C TIV E PRODUC
TIVENESS. If theee zonae are RESPECTED and looked after according to their natural
order In nature, aa I have explained, than, the fruit of your life will ba rich and plentiful.
