DR. HUEY P. NEWTON OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY HONORED IN WEST OAKLAND UNVEILING A BRONZE BUST CREATED IN HIS HONOR

Huey Newton and Gene McKinney, Huey’s street running buddy when they were in high school, would be at Gene’s family house where Gene’s father would run his daily poker gambling games and I was one of the gamblers coming by on a regular basics. I was only a few years out of High school at that time.  I was the youngest gambler involved in those games.  Huey and Gene knew me from the neighborhood and would seek my advice about the West Oakland streetwise guys and girls.

Huey grew up in North Oakland and Gene grow up in Richmond or El Cerrito area before he moved to West Oakland and attended McClymonds High school.  They both wanted to be like us West Oakland guys.                                                                       

Huey told me when he observed that I (Ed Howard) was involved in the African American Association (about 1961) Black Conscious Movement, he began to pay attention to Black consciousness ideas and it changed the way he had been thinking.

Click on the link below and you will see the West Oakland Stories Positive Feeling Movement film that have the actual people who were the supporters of the Black Panther Party (BPP) back in the day when the BPP was just beginning.  When you look at the film completely you will be surprised to see how normal we are.  You will be seeing the real Black Oakland and they will look nothing like the negative images that the Slave System has placed in your eyes and head.

“NO NEGATIVE SPEAK” BREAKS THE HABIT OF NEGATIVE TALKING“

Watch your thoughts, they become your words.

Watch your words, they become your actions.

Watch your actions they become habits.

Watch your habits, they become your character.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”

WEST OAKLAND STORIES POSITIVE FEELING MOVEMENT BLACK ELDERS HAVE PLAYED A BIG PART IN MAKING IT ACCEPTABLE TO CLAIM BLACK OAKLAND IN A POSITIVE WAY.

We started back in 2013 asking people to say “Oakland is not bad”. From that point we grew into producing the West Oakland Stories Positive film and after that we grew into “No Negative Speak” with each other and from that point we grew into the Non-Profit WOSPFM Organization and now we are beginning to work from the Positive Cosmic Consciousness level.

What is Cosmic Consciousness?

We want you to understand Cosmic Consciousness (CC) to be a state of mind where you actively filter your thoughts through positive emotional currents (NNS) before you engage with other people. This is a technique to provide a greater context for who you are.

How Do I Practice Cosmic Consciousness?

Instead of giving a person or situation the power to make you react from a place of uncertainty, fear, anger, we want you to use your Cosmic Consciousness. NNS and CC are interchangeable. Don’t try to explain NNS, using the words are simply the path to your CC.

1. You carry a lifetime of positivity in you – youare just not aware of it.

2. Remember the big picture – we’re all tasked withbeing better versions of ourselves over time. Be patient with yourself andothers.

TO MANY PEOPLE TELL US WHAT’S WRONG BUT HAVE NO SOLUTIONS    

We hope that you will take note that the process below we, Oakland Elders, have designed “No Negative Speak” (NNS) to bring Black people together in a positive way, it’s different because we not only tell you we need to become positive with each other and we actually give you a plan, guiding steps, (directions).  We firmly believe if anyone is giving us advice, they should also provide the working details.  Too many people tell us what’s wrong but no solutions.  We believe the simpler solutions provide, the more brilliant the results.

Cosmic Consciousness

The point of this post is to let the world know that Black Oakland Elders of West Oakland Stories Positive Feeling Movement (WOSPFM) have been guiding you into your Positive Cosmic Consciousness when you say the words “No Negative Speak” with each other.  Continue using the words and you will see the positive manifestation of a people that the Slave System made negative.

BLACK ELDERS WISDOM IS MAKING A LOT OF SENSE

We guarantee that if you follow our directions you will grow in a positive direction.

“No Negative Speak” (NNS) with each other is especially good for us during this COVID-19 Pandemic because it keeps the stress level down.  You will feel more relaxed right away as soon as you make the “NNS” commitment to yourself.

West Oakland Stories Positive Feeling Movement Org. (WOSPFM) is giving you instructions that will remove that shield. Just follow the directions and you will experience the shield being removed and you will feel so much better. You can practice what we are teaching, and it does not stop you from whatever you are now doing.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Choose a partner to start you off and you work with each other. See who can keep up with each and keep the pledge of practicing “No Negative Speak” (NNS) when you are talking to each other. When you catch one or the other talking negatively just let them know that you guys are practicing “NNS”.

Choose a partner to start you off and you work with each other. See who can keep up with each and keep the pledge of practicing “No Negative Speak” (NNS) when you are talking to each other. When you catch one or the other talking negatively just let them know that you guys are practicing “NNS”.

Most of us have the time now and we are asking you to say “NO NEGATIVE SPEAK” with each other. “NNS” wakes you up in a positive way if you just say the words. Saying “NNS” makes everyone aware of negativity. Make a game out of this, sing it, talk it and spread it.

“NNS” with each other smooths out that negative attitude that has been embedded in our subconscious by the SLAVE SYSTEM for 400 plus years. When you begin to understand, you will feel compelled to support each other.

The WOS film TRAILER link below was produced so you can see how “NNS” with each other looks and feels In the West Oakland Community.
