Bhleg over Black-Negroid: The New Life’s Work
“Bhleg” and “Black” both have their origins in high German; the Indo-European derivation of millennia-old words. The proto-Germanic word “Blakaz” translated as “burnt” and “Blaikjan” meant “to make white.” From Germanic origins to the Norman post-Conquest Middle English, the meaning of “Black” transformed from “light, flash” and “bright” to “dark, burnt” and “foreboding.”
The words “Negro” and “Negroid,” however, are more recent linguistic creations with their veins hemorrhaging in Vulgar Latin. What each word encapsulates is a sound. The sound of “Bhleg” resonates as darkness, spirituality and inner liberation. The sound of “Black” conjures limitation and fear. The meaning of “Negro” is a variation upon “Black;” the distant, Vulgar Latin descendant of “Bhleg.”
As with NTR, NGR and other power-acronyms originating in Kemet, the vowels or bowels of these words have been corrupted, removed and now restored leaving the linguistic, foundational English legacy noun that is Bhleg; a matchstick, its potential hidden and waiting to strike. BhlegPower is returning to the effective use of time and the capture of potential through melanated energy.
Reclaiming the Black force, the power, is the New Life’s Energy Work.
Retraining the Melanin energy.
t= e/p where t equals time, e is energy and p is power.
Having solved the equation in terms of time, energy and work therefore must be directed in proportion accordingly. We must spend our time on this planet correctly balancing the use of our energy and work over power. Ideally, we turn our energy into an exponential integer larger than its denominator.
“Bhleg” means “to shine, flash, burn.” It is a variation of the Indo-European root “Bhel,” “Bhelg” and the word we today call “Black.”
As Foundational Black Americans, we identify with Blackness based upon the sound and light influencing the structure of our melanin. This amazing superconductor-polymer honors the power and lineage of our ancestors.
Shining brilliantly through innovation despite the hell of American bondage, the genius of our elders and their empowering legacy of excellence emerges brightly into this new day and this New Life’s Energy Work.
