Not Gods Yet? Muslims from the larger Muslim World find the claim that God is a Man or that any and/or all Men are Gods (Allahs) irredeemably blasphemous and highly offensive. No elaboration needed. But curiously and ironically, there are those followers of the Most Honorable Mr. Elijah Muhammad who get offended as well. American Black Men going around presenting themselves as Gods is, in their mind, the height of arrogance and prematurity. In our dead state, they opine, we should never self-identify in our hearts or in the public as Gods, because we are not that. Not yet. I understand and can sympathize with such opinion, but I cannot concede to it nor apologize for my private and public self-identifications on the strength of it. This is because Allah the Most High has already blessed my two decade-plus long study of the Truth of God with some jewels of understanding of the Sacred Science of the Black God, jewels which make me immune to that criticism. I am already familiar with the fact that there are Degrees of Divinity and a Hierarchy in the Godhead. I am already aware of the fact that, just as a dead dog and a living dog agree on the fact of being dogs, so too a dead god and a living god both share the ontological reality of God-ness. Thus, the Secret of ALL ancient religions: mortal Man is but the Corpse of God (Corpus Dei). This why the Egyptian deity Asar (Osiris) is a Netjer (God) whether he is in his green fertility (life-giving) form or in his black funerary (dead) form. Even as the literal corpse of the god (netjer) Ra, Asar is STILL a paramount Netjer/God himself. Asar IZ the Black Man of America: dead and awaiting resurrection, but still a God (Netjer). Now, I know full well and am very comfortable with the fact that I am NOT the supreme God. I know that on the spectrum of divinity I am currently hovering on the lower end rather than the upper end. But I also know that I am not now DEAD anymore, and that I am on a divine ascent on this spectrum, even if mine is a very creeping ascent, inch by inch or millimeter by millimeter. So I must very humbly and brotherly reject your rejection of my Godhood, for Elijah has already spoken and the Sacred Science of the Black God has already born him witness.
