ORIONS’S BELT – DEDICATION TO MY LATE SON ANDRE’ DEWAIN STANLEY- JULY 26, 1975 – JANUARY 2, 2000
It has been seventeen years now and I feel you as if you never left me my Son and after diving into Orion’s Belt, I knew that I was destined to do what I have been doing every day of my life. You, my son were a part of my life and it made me stronger for only God knows the strength that was needed for me to carry on without you.
I questioned myself at first on how spiritual or not Orion would be and its’ origin, but after being drawn the very next evening to a documentary on the Ancient Pyramids and how they were in alignment with each other, I continued to be drawn to it. It also spoke of the Ancestral Spirits that had to have been some sort of guidance for them to be in such formation with each other. So, I again felt the security of being a part of an enormous equation.
In being pulled in to Orion I at first was hesitant in where the studying lead me to but recently and especially seeing how someone does not necessary have to be overly studied and or versed in a particular subject to be called to be a part of its’ existence astounded me.
The stars came to me during my lowest of times in my life after your passing and at times it was very hard to cope with life itself. But, on the occasions that Orion came to me extraordinary things occurred for me and I through my faith strive to succeed and conquer the tasks at hand. One must truly have a destiny that is perceived to be trusted and be willing to follow that path.
Orion came to me and drew me in. At first I thought the Stars to be me my Three Angels Dion James & Andre. Trying to make sense of it because Dion and James were born in March and Andre’ died in January. As written in Wilsdom Dominion & Power, they all lay side by side in burial born in 1975. I felt who else would hold on tight as I entered the belt and when I found out that Orion was sometimes most visible in the evening sky from January to March, winter in the Northern Hemisphere I knew I was being pulled in. It calls to you honestly and the obedience to do what you are instructed to do occurs without any doubt in your mind.
Andre you left behind 5 beautiful children that have along with my other Grand Children blessed my life. I have linked the video to this message. Every year I am given something so beautiful to represent and honor you my son Andre’ and this year was no different.
The purple fabric I am adorned in came from a very special place and as I prepared myself to take the photo in the purple fabric I felt truly blessed.
Later Orion came again, strongly! The Ancestors!!
Grandpa Robinson Grandpa Washington Grandmother Rebecca Grandmother Emily.
My mother and father were the vessels used to bring for my life forth but it would be, Auntie Zetter and Uncle Booker to be the Parent Leadership that helped me to understand being different and its greatness. They along with Grandmother Rebecca believed in my poetry and the visions that kept coming to me.
These are the firm shoulders that I stand. I come from greatness, so why would I be mediocre. For months I was awaken in the night and sometimes all during the day had thoughts of Orion.
I felt Orion’s soothing touch as I prepared myself for the home going of our Cat, “Spankey.” I wrote about her in “A Closer Look at Heaven” Peace at Work; a series of events some of which describe Spankey who got into our home 3 days after your passing January 2nd 2000 the millennium. She was the greatest comfort to us all, especially the children.
Spankey passed November 17, 2016. It was hard to see her go and so close to the Anniversary of your death, but I keep in mind what a woman had to say to us on one of our travels as she spotted her from across the parking lot, “Calico’s are sent here to work”, and I know that her work was done. She came at the lowest part of our lives and filled it with so much joy. I am better person just in having had her in my life for she was a part of our Family.
Orion continued to call to me ancestrally; I could hear the voices of old, soothingly. I felt the strength of the two of our greatest Elders Grandmother Rebecca and Auntie Zetter in side of me. There words as these women believed in me. They believed in the visitations I spoke of from Grandpa Robinson a Choctaw Indian. After all they would say you are his baby daughters first born.
They told me I would be with someone from afar because they understood I was different and had a love and desire to know about the Africans I once found within a book dressed so beautifully and nothing like the ones I was given to read about from the books in regards to slavery. I spoke of it right up until Auntie Zetter‘s Home Going and it was then that I met the Nigerian that as filled my life with joy till this very day.
These women spoke of the Family to me quite often and never sugar coated how things would be, especially, Grandmother Rebecca as I would sit and brush her long gray strands until she grew tire and later on in life Auntie Zetter shared the same with me you and your older brother. This is way I can stand so firmly on whom I am and my feelings and decisions in my life for I have been blessed with a partner from African and we can confirm together the Ancestors strength that surrounds me along with the tasks that I have earnestly taken on as a cheerful participant.
I wrote to our outgoing President Barrack Obama in regards to my life, commitments to family, business and my writings as the Author of, “WILSDOM DOMINION & POWER”, and A Closer Look at Heaven (Peace on Earth) all in your honor, for I truly do have the” Audacity to Hope”, and the response I got also soothes me to know that my letter was read and someone out there is rooting for me as well. For this I am truly grateful that my story is known somewhere else in this world from the point of view that was necessary to be told of my upbringing to date.
As I come to a close for now I continue to have strength in the 25 years that I had with you my Son. You knew us and you knew the family from a deep Ancestral point of view through Auntie Zetter. You also believed in the stories of old and marveled in my steadfast faith in allowing myself to be different.
I have said many times before in closing, Sankofa - “Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of Ghana that translates as "Go back and get it" (san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take) and also refers to the Asante Adinkra symbol represented either by a bird with its head turned backwards taking an egg off its back, or as a stylized heart shape. Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates as: "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten
ORIONS BELT
Mintaka is the westernmost of the three stars of Orion's belt. It is easily visible to the naked eye, one of the brightest stars in the sky, and has been known since antiquity. Mintaka is a blue luminous giant star that can be located in the constellation of Orion.It is the 67th brightest star in the night sky. Orion’s Belt is also called "the string of pearls," which is the meaning of the name of the middle star, Alnilam.
Alnilam is the middle star. It is slightly variable, from magnitude 1.64 to 1.74. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. [4] It is also one of the 58 stars used in celestial navigation. It is at its highest point in the sky around midnight on December 15. Alnilam's relatively simple spectrum has made it useful for studying the interstellar medium. Within the next million years, this star may turn into a red super giant and explode as a supernova.
Alnitak has been known since antiquity and, as a component of Orion's belt, has been of widespread cultural significance. It was reported to be a double star by amateur German astronomer George K. Kunowsky in 1819.[7] Much more recently, in 1998, the bright primary was found by a team from the Lowell Observatory to have a close companion

Continue to Rest in Perfect Peace my Son Andre’. Peace and blessings to you and all of our Families loved ones that adorn the Heavens!
 Your Family
Blessings!
Things that I found instrumental in overcoming my grief and using it to build my future:
1. Learn not to neglect the Spirit from within.
2. Follow through on things, especially if they continue to come mind
3. Commit, once you have started. Remember the hardest thing to do sometimes is to start something new. You have to start something
4. Stay open to the Spirit in your committance. Don’t push, relax let things take its’ course.
5. Be at peace in that you are exactly where you should be at that time.
 6. There should be no what if’s, how comes, no doubt in your mind that this is just the way that things should be. Very hard to do but your body mind and spirit will thank you and you will develop some type of sense of peace.
6. Remember, the journey can be long, hard, and tough and absolutely near impossible but one must have continue FAITH.
Acts 16:14King James Version (KJV) And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
(KJV) Mark 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

WILSDOM (Dom) Dominion and Power
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Elder Rebecca W. Ogbebor Takes You On A Journey Of Faith


Author Rebecca W. Ogbebor at a young age new that she was destined to do many different things and with a very large extended family around her she had plenty of ideas to choose from. One was to help others no doubt. The eldest of five siblings taught her to be vigilant and steady on her feet, a kind of no-nonsense individual.
With these attributes at hand she took on the role of nurturing and the mothering of her young to the fullest.

This love and the vigilant way in which she tackled being the eldest would also be of help in sustaining her after the death of her second born Son. She has stated that after the death of her Son it was as though a curtain was drawn back of the Heavens above and from that Miracles Signs Wonders and the Supernatural have been her plight.

Writing and or taking good notes as she would say many times is what WILSDOM, (Dom) Dominion and Power consists of. From the Bayou's of Louisiana to the California Coasts she will captivate you as she takes us on a journey of her faithful walk into a full circle in her life. She has given us the peace and joy of understanding in what it takes to have a defined walk of Faith.

She has written through WILSDOM, the story of a Choc Taw Indian man whom married a Southern Black Woman, her Grandmother the spiritual connections one embraces with deep Ancestral ties. The stories have a, "Touched by an Angel," feel on the same very serious note, from the stories of the Angels, the Birds, the Ram, the Lamb, the Lion and the Cross and the Dove all stemming from a deep Biblical presence. You will not be disappointed in the simplicity and ease of writing and the peace you will derive from WILSDOM, along with the Soundtrack for Book WILSDOM. She feels that we all have a true destiny we just need to follow it.

Please enjoy this brief Trailer featuring Transformation, from the Soundtrack for Book WILSDOM, so divinely arranged and composed by batisviewaerial.com with soothing harmonic tones that will give you peace of mind and wonderment into to the depths of WILSDOM. https://youtu.be/dwyq--AX39E





Greetings and Blessings to ALL!


THE TABARD,


It has been quite a while since I have felt liking writing and I must admit lost some very good stuff on I will do it later because my brain will remember to do it.  Heard that one?  Most posts have derived from some Ancestral feelings and this one is no different for it has weighed heavy on my heart.  I respect my Ancestors more now than I ever have in my life.  I loved them, needed them and truly obeyed them, but now I respect them from the deepest part of me.  In that very special place I radiate. 

Okay, the Tabard,

I come from a Choc Taw Indian and Black Foot Tribes with a strong presence on the Choc Taw side of the Family through Grandpa Robinson.   The lowest parts of my life have been lifted up by his very presence in my life.  Literally allowing me to step back and look at things as though through a looking glass as things come to pass and all is well with me, with us, with Family.  His presence which always followed the Holy Spirit in me joined forces in surrendering me into perfect peace. 

My being the eldest of his surviving daughter was one of the Elders that remembered Grandpa.  So,when  the Tabard was sent to us for possible production during a very busy time, it was quite interesting.  When you get to know all about me from these works you will understand the body I am referring to, really no joking here. 

When it arrived we thought it was another package and did now pay much attention to presence.  It was moved a couple of times but always a close eye.   I told myself after a couple of mornings this would be the one.  The morning started off very intense; phones; and a few faxes.  I looked at the phone lines let my life, well a lot of years rolled by and I just looked at the package and wept.  I wept for a long time and I continued to cry and pray.  I crawled towards the package and I wanted to lay upon it and boom!  I’m here!  I looked at the package and felt cool.  I immediately got up and proceeded to open up the package and there! I say there! Lying in the box was the most magnificent piece of beaded armor I have ever seen and well to be honest I have never seen. 


Green, red and black, massive amounts of kari shells hand sewn together.  Crisp gold pieces dangled from each sleeve end.  I cried and I looked at it once more before attempting to lift it.  It was quite heavy with layers and layers upon fabric so I needed assistance has I cried some more, but, once it was layed upon my shoulders the heaviness of it engulfed me and I felt protected as immediately a peace fell upon me .  All I could here was chanting.





An Eye for an Eye - "An eye for an eye", or the law of retaliation, is the principle that a person who has injured another person is to be penalized to a similar degree, or in softer interpretations, the victim receives the [estimated] value of the injury in compensation.  wikipedia.org

 To see this one hit you in the face is really saying something and giving one a much needed reason to write.  One could find themselves in a very precocious position when being led spiritually to excel mentally to a point whereby you can do nothing but continue to thrive and strive for excellence.

Let me get to the point here.  An “Eye for an Eye", it is very dangerous territory.  To think that someone should be hurt or harmed because they harmed you first, “Wow". In relationships one can distinctively know where or not this is being acted upon.  It can be a simple thing as just not removing a garment from the floor, refusing to do just the daily things that bring about quality of life with a situation. 

Once this becomes a part of you it can take some doing to get out of the vindictiveness of the behavior.  I have succumbed to just being, relaxed, happy, and most of all faithful that all things do come to pass and even if there is a slither of peace that is what I will show the world.  It may not be shown how one expects it to be but believe me it is a hard thing to take on because there will sometimes be battles along the way.  People are sent into isolated areas not always because of wrong doing but just because they need to find themselves. 

Since my last entry 2 years ago, this has been my main focus to everyone to, “Do onto others, as you will have them to do onto you.”  This should also be very simple and plain.  We should be able to stop and feel the quiet moment, breath in and out together with the wind, relax and just be at peace.  In other words meditate on relaxation even when times are the most hectic in our lives.

So, here we are again, an entry being made and do take away from this these facts that we already should know:
  • 1.       It is not what you have
  • 2.       How you look
  • 3.       How much money you have obtained 


What should be important is showing your inner Peace!

Blessings!

The “Sankofa" sign from the Adinkra symbols formed by the Akan people of Ghana, when entering into the shop.  The Sankofa symbol also signifies the importance of learning from the past; it is the West African word meaning “looking backward to move forward.”  

The concept of SANKOFA is derived from King Adinkera of the Akan people of West Afrika. SANKOFA is expressed in the Akan language as "se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenki."  Literally translated it means "It is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot".

"Sankofa" teach us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward.

Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone or been stripped of, can be reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated.

Visually and symbolically "Sankofa" is expressed as a mythic bird that flies forward while looking backward with an egg (symbolizing the future) in its mouth.

As I embark on yet another Holiday Season I remember my Ancestors.  I remember the preparations of the Holiday cooking.  I can still see their faces, Grandmother Rebecca looking on as Auntie Zetter chopped and grated with that familiar hum that she would do.  I still see Uncle Booker, whose Birthday is approaching in the garage as he would be skinning our preparing to boil wild meat.  I take pride in having been able to stop by to see Auntie Zetter after I had collected my sons from home after work and being blessed with a warm meal as she talked and taught us a way of life in loving and respecting our Elders.  It is why I still play a verse from, Rise and Shine one of the songs on the CD Andre’ was on.  He sang, “Mama cried, Auntie Zetter died, saying Lord forgive the children for they have sinned they are all gonna die good bad lose or win.” It let me know that he was listening.  I played it over and over again at his Wake.

It is hard as I miss the old days and ways of life, but I move forward with comfort knowing that my Ancestors were here at one point to teach and give guidance.  When you have sat with them and followed their ways you in some ways do become them, in all that they were.  So, this Holiday I give tribute to all of my Ancestor and yours and our young who as it was said to me that are in an Ancestral state our Guardian Angels that give us strength for our love for them will never die no matter what anyone has to say.  This is why it is important to know your inner self and be proud of where you came from.


Blessings!

  Being just one small piece of the puzzle as I see it, in this great big Design called Earth is why I continue to say Blessings to all.   Writing can be complex or it can be as simple as receiving the message, documenting it and following your inner dreams in forming a reality, just your personal best. 

That’s powerfully awesome for to me it is WILSDOM (dom) Dominion and Power. 

ü  To not completely characterize this blog is a ceremonious venture for the stories of some series and events stemming from the tragic death of a child have to be told of another Mother destined to go on and knows how hard it can be.

WILSDOM (HIS WILL BE DONE), which has been completed as Noah’s Ark was
completed and it worked, is truly that for me as I stated earlier.  I am sure Noah did not have any fancy or great specs, but the ark did not sink. Things can be as simple as when you made your first of anything.  You tried from deep inside of you to believe that it was good and it was by the standards that you believed in completing something.  Writing again I say can be a simple task or complexly tailored and structured as the World seems to have become, as though we are being styled on a World stage. But, we must stay focused on who we are.

ü   Focused on things of enjoyment- Laughter

ü  If feeling off track, move something around clear a cluttered area even if it will
take some organizing.  We all should be able to accomplish something as small as that.
ü 
       Pay attention to appearance as much as you can.

One day at a time choose a few throughout the month and do something
different.


ü   Love yourself by complimenting something you did our said, pulled back on, finished.

ü   Try not to engage in the things you see right in front of you 99% of the time portrayed to us as being the better way to live.
·  
Type of Car
·  
Hair
·  
Makeup
·  
House Designs
·  
Cooking
·  
Even the way that people speak.  Sometimes the focus is on how we are taught
to do something and we forget to embrace our true self.


 Now don’t get me wrong these things can be good if we don’t let them control or define who we are.  What it all boils down to though is, “Knowing your inner self,” because if elements are removed from the equations you are then  forced to reinvent something, change the form or design to except things the way that they are.

Creating something different new and exciting can be very difficult.  When on a personal journey to be the best that you can be may seem and probably is things that have created, tried, or has been done before and with this being a known fact you still should try to put your personal touch on it.  It may or may not be criticized but you defend what you have done, take the criticism and move forward with a new plan.  This is where it can get tricky because everyone can’t handle criticism.
Reach deep inside your inner self, find compassion and a spirit of calm, just as one would when they practice meditation or yoga.  Balance your thoughts into calm and happy ones.  It’s not easy but the greatest gift you can give yourself is an old saying, “If you don’t have anything nice
to say, don’t say anything at all.” Easier said than done!!

I love to hear Michael Jackson’s song, “Off the Wall,” he gave us the greatest contributions of his life in his music.  When I hear, “Off the Wall,” it feels as though I hear my son telling me, “Mama just enjoy yourself and don’t let life get you down and then I remember laughing with him and teaching him how to dance. This music was Michael’s personal best regardless to whatever
other attributes about himself that we did or did not like.  Most people with great contributions are
somehow misunderstood but they persevere because of that deep understanding of their inner self and everyone knows that we should do our best in all that it is,

v  Seeing the vision
v  Believing
v  Having faith that it too shall come to pass.
Things always do. 

At the completion of this blog, right before posting it a good friend called me and said that she wanted to show me something she had created and painted.  She had not been in her studio in quite some time.  You see with that phone call I felt spiritually that I was on to something on the right track.

Until next time

Blessings,
