Illusion Do any of us understand Life Money When a man looks at money, he often gets a false sense of security. Money is his protector, and it can take care of all his problems. This illusion by man about money has kept him in the dark for years. Unless man educates himself on the use of money, his illusion will take him to his grave and leave him with a stupid look on his face. Education is man’s salvation from the power structure that is designed to control him. This power structure consists of our banks, insurance companies, and any money lending institutions. This power structure has been around a long time, longer than some of us may think. If we look back into our history, we will find a group of people called the Summerites that started all of this. The Summerites lived along the Nile River (this river is in the continent of Africa). Life was good for the Summerites because the Nile River provided them some of the necessities it took to sustain life. We must remember that these people were barbarians, but the Nile River educated them and helped them become civilized. The Summerites had to deal with a rainy season along this river. During this season, the Nile’s banks would overflow destroying their homes and any crops they had planted. The people were hurt but their spirits weren’t broken. The Summerites noticed that once the Nile had receded, the land was left rich and fertile. They then studied the Nile River and built their homes above the flood lines and planted their crops around the rainy season. In a very short time, the Summerites had a surplus of food. They sold this surplus to other tribes far and near. The surplus of food gave the Summerites power over the other tribes. With this power, the Summerites soon became bankers and moneylenders. This tells us that the power structure that exists today has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. How can you or I beat such a system? I spent four years in the Navy. The one thing I learned was that you can’t beat a system but you can work with it to promote change. The Summerites taught us one thing. When a man doesn’t have to think about where his next meal is coming from, he has time to think and plan. A man’s time on earth is short compared to the power structure that was here before him and will be here after he is gone. The driving force of the power structure is to keep the masses hungry so that they will never know what hit them. This is sad because the power structure doesn’t seem to have a clue to what the masses real want. The masses are confused and they don’t know why everybody is losing.
Or do we all live in an illusion.
Day by day we live in the name of survival, while
something inside is crying out. That cry is our true identity.
Why can’t we go for it?
Why can’t we live as we desire?
Why do we choose to only survive?
Life is meant to be lived by truth and honesty
That come from inside. But so often truth is beaten by life’s
Illusion. This illusion
Reminds us of our imperfections.
I’m not attractive.
I’m not smart enough.
I’m too afraid of being embarrassed.
Truth is not always pretty because life
Is filled with pretty and ugly. Maybe if we
Look at life as being an adventure, and
Accept every part of life with hopes of
Becoming a better person, then truth
Would prevail. If truth prevails, then life
Should be filled with
Achievements.
Self-confidence.
Hope for tomorrow.
With this going for us, the illusion
Of life will become happiness.

About the Book
If a father is given the opportunity to see his son become a man, together they can become one of the most powerful forces known to mankind. A father and son can cause positive changes within their community and the world. Most importantly, a father and son can become positive role models for the generations of young men that will come up in their family. What you just read may sound unreal because, as men, you don’t see a father and son working together. I feel that in most cases, a father and son tolerate each other because they are father and son. A father and son want their won independence. In their search for manhood, a father and son can lose each other. Our society will suffer because a father and son don’t know their own importance. Women will raise children on their own, babies will have babies and young men will go to jail for stupid reasons. If a father and son don’t come together as men, they both will live their lives out feeling that something is missing. A father and son can have a good life without truly knowing each other as men. But there will always be that word if. If I had known more about my father or if I had known more about my son, I would have done things differently. There is no formula that one can give a son that will help him know his father better or help a father know his son better. In order for a father and son to know more about each other they must look inside themselves for the answer. Every man will find a different answer. But in man’s search for answers, everyman’s start is the same. If you need help starting your search for answers, open this book and keep on reading.
