It is the Divine Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that provides the missing link in all of our investigative studies of world cultures and civilizations which includes all of the arts, sciences and technology. This universal view has always been an integral part of the Teachings and is incorporated in the Spiritual body politics of the Divine Leadership of the Nation of Islam in America.

This firm foundation established upon the basis of Mathematics was projected by the Founder and Director/Guide, Master W. Fard Muhammad, upon his Coming to America in 1930. Why should we allow the false propagandists to insult the Intelligence of this Supreme Wisdom that the Nation of Islam Student Body has inherited from the Visit of this Great Mysterious Figure from the East?

This would be an act of debunking our own assignment and privilege as being the first to be enrolled in the Classroom of God to lay the base of God�s New World Kingdom on earth. This is the desire of our Brothers and Teachers that we be set in Heaven at once through a thorough Teaching of the Knowledge of God and of Self.

The respect and love of the Brotherhood is recognizing the god within each of us, both male and female. To disrespect this principle of duty and practice and responsibility is to deny the god within ourselves and within each other. The student body is asked a question in one of our Lessons, which reads: "What is the duty of a civilized person?" The answer is given as follows: "To teach the uncivilized people, who are savage�civilization (righteousness, the knowledge of himself, the science of everything in life, love, peace and happiness)."

If we are miserable or unhappy, it is because we are not living up to our Assignment in respecting and honoring the Reality of God in every human creature which aspires towards righteousness and individual freedom which enjoins duty and responsibility and the reconciliation of our differences.

Within the context of these series of Questions and Answers, we are also asked in the 19th Question: "If a civilized person does not perform his duty, what must be done?" The answer reads: "If a civilized person does not perform his duty, which is teaching civilization to others, they should be punished with a severe punishment." (Ezekiel, Chapter 3, 18th verse; St. Luke, Chapter 12, 47th verse). Finally, we are asked in the 20th Question and Answer of this Lesson: "What is the prescribed law of Islam of said, person of that ability?" Answer: "That the civilized person is held responsible for the uncivilized and he must be punished by the Nation of Islam."

This expresses in part the Spiritual Concept behind the publication of the Cultural Links News Journal, produced from The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Educational Foundation, which is designed to incorporate a Curriculum Study-Guide Format and an upscale Seminar Program that will initiate a Seven City Torchlight Tour beginning in the Summer/Fall period prior to our October 16th Commemorative Celebration of A World�s Day of Atonement. Your monetary support of this Magazine and its Educational Enterprises will make possible presentations by some of our outstanding journalist contributors and experts as part of our Seminar Programs. All donations are to be made to The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Educational Foundation, a non-profit corporation, which will go towards achieving quality education and educators for our children throughout the Nation, following the lead of the Honorable Minister Farrakhan�s example in producing The Beethoven Concert at the opening of our Saviours� Day Convention in Los Angeles as the ideal, with all proceeds going to support the Education of our children and young adults at Muhammad University of Islam.

The Crystal Light Project explained on the back of the last two pages of the first edition of the Cultural Links News Journal further explains this concept in keeping with the New Cultural Revolution that has now begun. More information will be published with supplemental Program Orientation materials to be presented in the seven regions of the United States under the Spiritual Leadership of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Please continue to read this column for update information on how each of our readers and subscribers can participate in this evolutionary process.

To be continued.
