Blacks are worth $140.6 billion. No information can stay in any stage indefinitely and all information is always undergoing constant change. * I believe this to be a Law on this planet governing human relationships. Most people can not recognize which stage their information is in; thus, most o f their information is essential ly worthless to them, even though it may be usable to someone else who can understand which stage the information is in at the time. 1 believe that the total essence o f our existence can be reduced down to the sum total o f our physical body; the sum total o f what information we can remember at any given time— the sum total o f our spiritual energy. These three factors arc then measured against the relation ships and all other outside entities in accordance with the above mentioned stages and flow o f information. The net result o f all that I am saying here is that, this is how I identify what I am doing, and how I make decisions regarding myself and others.
