MOOR FIYAH, MOOR FIYAH!!!!

Photobucket

We're almost there...today, another shirt from "HIGHER ATIYE-ER" clothing worn in the video. Today I give you, "MOOR FIYAH!! MOOR FIYAH!!"...

Now...

Perhaps in your own time you will research the MOORS, a people whose historical contribution to world civilization is one of the most overlooked.. a people who introduced 17 universities to Europe...

but beyond all that, here's the inspiration for the message on the shirt. Please follow me on this...

First, the etymology of the word MOOR- (via Wikepedia): MORENO, from the Latin root, can mean "tanned" in Spain and Portugal. In Cuba and other Spanish-speaking countries, as in Portuguese speaking Brazil, it can mean "black person"..

Also in Spanish, MORAPIO is a humorous name for "wine", specially that which has not been "baptized" or mixed with water, i.e., pure unadulterated wine- (I personally believe this term wine describes melanin- why would it not?) Further in spanish usage, MORO is used to describe all things dark..

Okay now..so there's the etymology of the word MOOR..moving along- couple it with the word "fire" (spelled "fiyah" in this instance for ebonical reasons lol)..what do you got?

Black Fire....yup, Black Fire.

There's soooooo many places I can go with meanings of BLACK FIRE..of course, it can all go back to melanin,(see post from two days prior for a brief melanin overview if you need one); You ever heard people say that "black people draw heat"? Well, if you understand the properties of melanin you know that statement is not a joke, it is biologically and metaphysically true!!

Also, perhaps "black fire" can refer to the kundalini awakening which raises that serpentine fire within you..(click this link and get a crash course here if you dont know about the serpentine/kundalini fire ---> http://bit.ly/ab68oM

Then, of course it can symbolize the phoenix(fire rising) legacy-- i mean after all,its black fire right? [The phoenix fire rising is actually likened to the kundalini rising in many spiritual studies but again, another blog for another time]..

I'm saying...the meanings behind this shirt can go on and on..

Basically, this is an "alchemist's shirt"...I'll go into alchemy another time but just know you're turning lead into gold by walking around with this shirt on...

Another powerful tee shirt from HIGHER ATIYE-R (pronounced attire) clothing..
Your mindstate is higher, so reflect that in your attire. Period.

Check out the late great Dr. Ivan Van Sertima speaking about the MOORS in this series:





Here's one of many books:

I know this isnt lightweight frivolous stuff. Thank you everyone who has been reading this blog, peeping the shirts,and eagerly awaiting the video. As always, your comments and participation are welcomed. I hope you're enjoying this journey.."There's a method to my gladness".We're so close!!

I'm inspired by the work that you left for us late bloomers of right knowledge. I fully overstand the power of melanin and our words. We are the ancient civilizers of the planet. We are thee Moors/Moroccans living in the Americas. ISLAM.
