"Without human consciousness there is no world. It is the presence of human consciousness that brings meaning into the world. Without conscious human beings in this world, in effect, there would not be a world. We bring the world into being through our consciousness and through our consciousness create the world we live in. Out of the totality of reality our consciousness hews a world that fits itself. In other words, the kind of world you exist in reflects the kind of consciousness you have. Notice if you change your consciousness or change your values and orientation you enter into a different world; you interact with different people, people who you often didn't even know existed in the world, social situations that you might not have even recognized until you entered into a new level of consciousness....Man's consciousness is a creative act and the kind of consciousness one has will determine the kind of world one creates.

Consequently, when we look at the world we
live in, Afrikan people, we must recognize that to a great extent it is a world of our own creation! It is a world generated by the kind of consciousness that we have permitted to be instilled in us as a people....The European is largely our creation.

When we look at our behavior, we will see that to a good extent it is our behavior, our values, our consciousness, the kind of personalities we have established in ourselves -- our tastes, our desires and needs -- that maintain the European in his position....They cannot have what they have unless we are who we are. That is why we don't have to spend a great deal of time always appealing to them and analyzing them. We can better appeal to our sense of self and our own consciousness. We waste a lot of time trying to transform them when through transforming ourselves they will be transformed automatically.

The power is in our hands."
