The following section is the introduction to the manuscript that was to be distributed throughout KRS-ONE's tours as well as in progressive bookstores throughout the world. Pimp record companies and multinational business interests wasn't havin' it. We're (KRS & Professor Zizwe) available to speak at proper venues to discuss the details of the intrigue. If interested hit zizwe@pond.com and include in the subject "R4R." Now, the book in its "unmodified form."

The Human Education Against Lies (H.E.A.L.) movement, is a self-construction movement designed to rescue humanity from the most lethal disease facing it: Common Sense Deficiency Syndrome (CSDS).

CSDS is the root of most of the world's social problems. AIDS (Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), crack addiction, racism, sexism, environmental terrorism, "pimp-ism", and imperialism are all encouraged and supported by CSDS. In fact, these anti-Human systems are symptoms of CSDS. Organized lying is the virulent base of CSDS and leads to the deceiving of the People causing the People to act insane to their Humanity.

Since the principal carriers of CSDS are the education, religious, and political systems, they are shaking in their boots at the possibility of being rocked by the H.E.A.L. movement. They are correct to be afraid because the H.E.A.L. movement plans to modify these institutions of lying.

The H.E.A.L. movement is currently coordinated by me, Zizwe Mtafuta-Ukweli (translation: one born in a foreign land searching for the truth) and KRS-ONE. H.E.A.L.'s first move was to launch an airwaves and literary offensive against lies unmatched by any other offensive in recent history. The first project of the H.E.A.L. movement was the production of a collaborative video and album by artists dedicated to the destruction of CSDS. These artists include: Kid Capri, Big Daddy Kane, L.L. Cool J, Freddie Fox, Harmony, M.C. Lyte, Queen Latifa, Ms. Melodie, Jam Master Jay, DMC, D-Nice, Chuck-D, Jonathan Demme, Ted Demme, Fab 5 Freddie, Pam Jenkins, Billy Bragg, Michael Stipes, Ziggy Marley, Simone, Ready Z and KRS-ONE.

Proceeds from that project financed the more important project of distributing millions of free books to the youth worldwide. These books expose and examine some of the most blatant lies forced down the throats of Humanity.

This first book, "Civilization Versus Technology", uncovers the most viscious lies put forth by the education and religious systems and replaces them with obvious common sense truths. Contributors to this book are: KRS-ONE, Simone, and Ready Z.

Objectives of H.E.A.L.:

1. Heal the minds of the People especially youth by providing true facts.
2. Help build reasoning skills needed for human behavior rather than focusing on the sleep techniques of memorization.

Human Education Against Lies (H.E.A.L.) is a not for profit corporation and organization that promotes Human respect amongst Humanity by providing knowledge about Humanity.

The statement for 1992 is,

"Before you are a race, a religion, or an occupation you are a Human. HEAL YOURSELF!"

PART I:

MODIFYING THE EDUCATION IN AMERICA

Before you are a race, religion or occupation you are a human being, the greatest of all animals. The dumbest, most ignorant thing said, is, 'I'm only human.' Statements like these, demean, lessen and cut down the true existence of being human.

Now, if you wish to exist as a cat or a dog or a goat or any other animal other than human, this book isn't for you. But, if you are constantly going to take pride in calling yourself a human being, then you should act accordingly.

The barbaric educational system teaches anti-humanism; they'll make you believe that you can have human rights without human duties. There are actually things that the human being must do in order to manifest as human. One of those things is thinking.

The human being must think in order to survive. We can't breathe under water, we can't fly, nor can we run fast, so we've got to think in order to survive. When you tamper with a bird's wings you mess up its daily life, likewise for the human; when you tamper with a human's mind you mess up its daily life. The barbaric educational system, tampers with the process of thinking with labels, symbols, letters, numbers and accumulated lies. So humanism is never achieved, because the human being must think to survive.

Example, when you go to school, they give the answer to all your questions. Two or three months later they test you on if you remember the answer or not; this is not thinking, this is memorizing. And when you go through your entire life using memory and not intellect, any problem that you're confronted with that you don't remember how to deal with, you can't deal with. Mainly because you don't remember how to deal with it. Ultimately you become trapped, you can't move because you don't remember how to move. The barbaric educational system is based on memorizing lies.

One of the first signs of intelligence in any human is asking questions, then debating answers. But if you never get to ask a question, how can you debate any answer. Some people might say in school, "Yeah you can ask questions in school," wrong, you only ask about what you can remember to ask about. The entire system is based on memory, not intellect.

For example, everyone knows Christopher Columbus did not discover America, he killed and robbed and destroyed the indigenous populations or the Indians of America. But to pass your class, you'll put down on paper, Christopher Columbus discovered America, knowing this is a lie. It seems as though the grade of A+, B or C is greater in significance than actually having the facts.

This is barbaric and backwards. If your teacher was to ask you, 'What is American history?' And you told the teacher kidnap, murder and theft, in addition to some other good things, you would fail your class even though it's the truth. Ultimately this is a crime.

When birds can't fly, fish can't swim, and human's can't think, we've been tricked and blind-folded to our own human consciousness. We have been tricked into the consciousness of "me, myself and I," and "it's all about me."

These statements are self-destructive because humans can only progress around other humans in a human environment. The anti-human is headed for self-destruction while the human being is headed for self-construction.

There can be individual groups of human beings but anti-humans are groups of individuals. The true manifestation of the human being is to serve humanity. The true manifestation of the anti-human is humanity serving one human.

The human being gets worked on in three ways; politically, educationally and religiously. Keep in mind, the religious system and the educational system come out of the political system. First they take your land, then they take your mind, then they take your soul and the human being is made a slave.

People with Ph.D.s, Psychological Human Disorders, usually administer what we have coined as CSDS, Common Sense Deficiency Syndrome. All of humanity is afflicted with this illness. Before any illness, CSDS is the first illness.

Before you contract any disease, first you lose your common sense. Before you wrap your lips around the crack pipe, first you lose your common sense. CSDS blocks our rational thinking and has you thinking in an irrational way, due to a lack of common sense.

Without common sense, correct thinking is impossible. And when correct thinking turns into incorrect thinking, what follows is incorrect anti-human beast-like actions.

No one in school is studying intellectualism (the science of Human intellect). As we pointed out, school is a system of memory, the question is where did such a system come from and why?

If you don't know the history of the author of a book, you don't know the book. You're only reading 50% of the book when you don't have the history of the author.

For example, I could be an author that is also a murderer of white women but if I never told you in my book, you would never know. The question is, what if I wrote the Bible and you're living my laws because I told you I was inspired by God - or - what if I was a racist and hated most races especially the African race, at the same time I was an archaeologist looking for the original man. If I'm a racist, I'll never look in Africa for the original man because I don't respect African people. I'm going to look in Europe and Australia and teach the world scientifically that the European is the original man, especially if I'm European. This egotistically makes me the superior man. If your teacher is a murderer, you'll learn to be one too.

PART II:

THE SOLUTION TO THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

That's the solution? Many people might think, jokingly, that Kris Parker's solution to the educational system is to wire each building up state by state, city by city, wire them up with high powered explosives on down to one radio programmed button, and stand somewhere far off and press the button, several times.

Fortunately, I am a civilized individual. I found out a way in which we can permanently do away with ignorance once and for all. But the revolution is not about us running down the street shooting at the enemy, or shooting at who we think is the enemy.

Remember, we are all afflicted with CSDS. Keep in mind, when you wish to change anything, the revolution starts in the mind. Change the way you think and you will change the environment around you. It is that simple. Look in the mirror and change what you see there, first before anything else.

But, to all teachers, principals and deans, I urge you all to analyze your tired, boring techniques of teaching and learning and develop a more modernized system; not for my own self-gratification but to save your own life from your own students. Nothing I say in these writings are lies. Nothing I say in these writings are irrational. You have lost control of your students due to an outdated educational system. Students of all grades are very advanced because they live in a very advanced environment. Why hasn't the educational system advanced with them?

Adding computers and younger teachers to the classroom, isn't advancement. Advancement for humans is learning the techniques for advancing humanity. The educational system presently teaches students how to be American, not Human.

Understand this point, before you are a race, a religion or an occupation, you are a human being. This should be the first lesson studied in all classrooms or, there should be a course from kindergarten on up to college on humanism. One of your subjects should be humanism, if you are a human being and must exist amongst other human beings.

But in order to solve the problem of the educational system, we must dig up the roots of the educational system and its roots lie in slavery. Slavery is only half abolished. Most slaves couldn't read or write or count. They were property of those who could read, write and count. Ultimately, being educated and being free from bondage is the end of slavery.

As long as you aren't educated, you still have half the characteristics of a slave. A slave, knew only a little of his culture. How much more of our culture do we know today?

Sportspersons, recording artists., etc., are forms of slaves; you are owned, bought and sold, simple. Men with votes and no education are still slaves.

How can you abolish an act without improving or correcting the wrong done by the act? That's like saying we have a cure for the disease, so the disease is abolished, but all the people that have been affected by the disease won't get the cure. They'll be told of the cure.

That's what the Emancipation Proclamation was. They ended the physical concept of slavery, but not the psychological or physical concept of the slave.

This is the root in dealing with the edcuational system. We must understand where such a system came from. And we must understand who benefits from the system or who has been benefiting from the system and who has not been benefiting from the system. If two men start on a race, but one is a mile ahead of the other one, of course they will not end up at the finish line together. This is the problem, with education in America.

PART III:

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The human being is the most mightiest of all creatures in the universe. This is not to be taken egotistically as most ignorant persons do and justify the senseless killing of life, because everything you're killing is part of your environment which is a part of you. When you kill, you kill a part of yourself.

What is not taught in the education in America is that your environment is the outer expression of your inner thought. If you wish to change your environment, change how you think. Political scientist cannot escape the fact that the Human being is a product of the universe and what benefits the universe benefits the Human and what destroys the universe destroys the Human. The universe, in reality and scientifically, is the only thing alive and existing. We are here so that the universe might know itself.

Wisdom can only be achieved when the Human walks from imperfection to perfection. Anything that is perfect is ignorant, it doesn't know itself. Mistakes are perfect, like spilling water or a shot to the head. These things are perfect. You cannot improve or take away from perfection. By themselves, these things are perfect. By themselves, these things are ignorant. Humans are the imperfect part of the universe. When the Human being comes to consciousness and realizes its true state of existence, the Human has gained wisdom and the universe moves one more step towards knowing itself. This is the first step in a successful revolution, "Knowing yourself, finding yourself, HEALing yourself."

To HEAL yourself you must know yourself. Many of us have no clue as to how to use our minds to control and better our lives and the lives of others.

Within everyone's head there is a muscle called the brain. This is the jewel of the universe, consciousness is the jewelry store. In the brain there is a section called the cerebral cortex where matter is converted into ideas. This is the realm of intuition and analysis. This is the part of the brain that gives us the ability to read, write, and do math. Even music is created here. The cerebral cortex houses our ideas! Civilization and the concept of Humanity is here in the cerebral cortex. Within the cerebral cortex are neuron cells. They store information. Everything we know is stored in our neuron cells. In each and every brain there are about a hundred billion neurons. And each neuron cell represents one bit of information. This is how we string along bits of information to create or destroy. There are about a hundred trillion neuron connections in every head.

There is no reason for anybody to not be living the life they want to live. Everyone is living the life someone made for them, whether they're conscious of it or not. We are all reading a script but only some of us are writing it! Who wrote your script? Who's controlling your life? The saddest thing is that the script written by the current religious, political and educational systems is riddled with sex, violence, and lies.

Humans are the most powerful living creatures on earth because we can information into ourselves for either advancement or self-destruction. Unfortunately this makes us imperfect, unlike the dog, cat, bird, or fish which is perfect. We are intelligent, they are ignorant. We can destroy ourselves, animals cannot destroy themselves. We can improve on ourselves, animals cannot improve on themselves. But in order for the Human being to advance it needs information about itself and its environment.

In addition to that the Human being needs to be in touch with the teachings of their ancestors. If they miss out on these valuable lessons they will repeat the same mistakes. It is extremely important for the Human being to know itself because without knowledge of self the Human being is, in essence, a beast.

When a particular People do not have their culture in place but instead, take on another, the result is self-destruction and insanity. Keep in mind that whatever is stored in the neuron cells for a period of time, eventually becomes a part of your genealogical make-up.

If you have been beaten, robbed, and murdered for hundreds of years, eventually your children will be thieves and murderers. In addition to that, they'll become immune to the guilt and shame of murder and violence. This is why the military in the United States loves Black People so much. Being beaten and murdered for so long has turned us in excellent killers. But if these genealogically trained killers are unorganized they will turn on themselves. If these killers are uneducated they will turn on themselves. If these killers are confined to a specific area with no hope of moving or advancing, they will turn on themselves. Either the educational system is ignorant to this or they intentionally want to see us die! It's one way or the other.

We are all made up of what ever our parents are. The solution here is to write down on your neuron cells new information like: Love, Intellect, and Culture. Your thoughts are as real as the baby you carry (men included). Say to yourself, as you walk down the street, "I am the universe and the universe is me, my very existence is an advancement for my environment. I am light!" And eventually you feel it, then become it, and your life will change for the better. Not just for you, but for the People around you also. The solution lies in correct education which leads to correct thinking.

The HEAL solution is to write a revolutionary script for yourself and remember, "Before you are a race, a religion, or an occupation you are a Human being!"

WAR
By Ready Z for R4R

Mistaken,

You must have been, When you went in,

To serve them,

They ain't your friend, ain't never been,

Just a foe,

You didn't know, So off you go,

And if you,

Get out you got nuttin' ta show, Ho,

But damages,

Blood and bandages,

How did you manage this,

I know you didn't plan this,

Look at you,

A bullet catcher on a stretcher,

You're near dead,

In bed with lead in your head,

In the sand without water,

Led to slaughter,

Following an order

To cross a border,

Swallowing morter shells,

Another brother fell,

Staying, laying and preying

In this desert hell,

Taking Iraq

By taking the Blacks to attack,

Like hoes in a pack,

It's a fact, the way we act,

The Brothers on the scene are gettin' splattered,

While the war machine is mean and gettin' fatter,

By selling tanks and missles,

Bombs and pistols,

While dissin' you,

Trickin', dickin', and enlistin' you,

We lack the common sense to see the real deal,

That we ain't nothing but crumbs in a pimp's meal.

Cause to them the war is just another business,

Rich folks don't give a damn, which side wins this.

In a flash,

Burning up the taxpayer's cash,

Just to mash,

Watch ya money turn to ash.

For one shot,

Droppin' a knot, spendin' a lot,

On the spot,

Shoot off a Patriot,

Shootin' Scuds,

Protecting thugs,

Laying bombs like a rug,

On soldiers deeply dug,

In the Earth,

To protect the land of their birth,

Cause they know what this war and their life is worth,

But do you and if you do what will you do,

When they say,

Its time for you to make your move,

To the front,

To catch the brunt of the hunt spot,

Now its time,

You got to try and dodge the gun shot,

From both sides,

Cause the jets on your side will figure,

They could slide,

Who cares about another dead nigger,

Yeah, "Nigger",

Rememba that when ya squeezing the trigger,

A title,

The name that America gives ya,

Not the Arab,

They didn't play that,

Uncle Sam is the man that say that.
