From the Front Door, continuing with my philosophy o f life, beyond the information re
garding relationships and remembrances contained in my “ Final W isdom ” publication.
There are certain other dimensions o f perspectives which give me an insight into relation
ships beyond their superficial surface. I believe that all information travels through four sep
arate stages from Abstract to Form.

Annually Blacks spend $3 billion
dollars on furniture and appliances,
$18.2 billion on groceries, $14.2 bil
lion on automotive supplies, $14.1
billion in their homes. 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. While controlling my attitude under
the principles o fm y “ Final Wisdom.”
