Once a person's mind is liberated, he or she will do things right that lead to liberation of the physical body. Once the captive's mind becomes equal to that of the captor, the captive is not a captive any more, because he or she will do things equal to that of the would-be captor. Liberation for a person and his/her kind is true independence from domination by another kind of people. The forces of exploitation, evil, and oppression destroy a people in every sense. Salvation, therefore, is protection from those wrong and cynical forces after being separated from them. Independent free peoples (peoples who are masters of their own destinies) need no liberation, for they have it already.
We (Ethiopians/Nubians/Africans) in the West have been taught that salvation is everlasting bliss and happiness some place in the sky after death, if we be good and obedient(To who? of course, good and obedient to the hard taskmaster). Undoubtedly, this non-sense was designed to pacify the oppressed in their captivity, while the oppressor exploits them in every way. Salvation is protection from all kinds of enemies called hunger, disease, and ignorance, after a people have been liberated from them. SALVATION COMES AFTER LIBERATION.
Let It Be Remembered Always!!!
