Healing Prophecy

The Healing Prophecy….Mr. Tracy Charles Gibson

By ALL means, give yourself time. Go into personal retreat. Don’t worry about what your friends and parents say.  If you need time to heal, you need time to heal.  There will be plenty of time for parties and friends later. Spend time on healing yourself like you were able to stand in front of the Bank teller and hand her as much money as you want and pretend the money—the healing—is going into your bank account only. Pretend you will be able to take it out when YOU need to. That is what mental and emotional healing is like.  It is like giving yourself money—and lots of it. It may take years to show up and get back to you, but it will come and when it does it is like a mighty rain.

Sometimes as Black people we need to detach ourselves from the technology that we really had very little to do with the development of and get away and spend quiet time with GOD and let Her or let Him tell us about ourselves.  Stop being fearful of therapy, this fear is what is holding you back in life from being the very best you can be.  Be something different. Do something different. Try something legal, fun and different instead of rolling a joint and thinking you are cool.  Instead of drinking a beer or a 40 drink a Power juice.  Not a BULL not a BUD drink a green Power juice and turn on your mind and let some jazz music or some soothing music roll over you and advance your life.  Get plenty of sleep, even if you have to drink some Sleepy Time Tea and listen to the quiet humming sounds of some Whales or Dolphins. [You can get such natural sounds as these or the sounds of water crashing on rocks at any video store in the specialty section.]  Listen to some nice Pop music but if you are over 35, go Ole School. Get some Gladis Knight, some Jeffery Osborn, some Aretha Franklyn, some Quincy Jones, some Stevie Wonder, some Melba Moore, some Pattie Labelle, some Travaris, Some Whitney Houston, some Johnny Mathis, some Billy Ocean, some Billy Paul, some Michael Jackson, some Shilights, some Common, some Queen Latifha, some Jackson Five, some Diana Ross, some Roberta Flack, some Sarah Vaughn, some Jessie Norman, some Ella Fitzgerald, some Billy Eckstein, some Muddy Waters, some Miles David, some John Cole Train, some Donnie Hathaway, and …

Take time for yourself. Away from your husband or your wife or your partner or your children or your dog or cat or your friends and think about what you really want to achieve in life and how you get there.  Don’t matter about how much time you think you have on this precious earth GOD gave us, your work can be handed to your children or to the community or to your nieces and nephews, or grandchildren or maybe it can be archived for the Black museum in Washington.  Just because you didn’t finish something does not mean it will not be a great value down the road somewhere. Listen quietly to the voices of reason and the quiet voice of GOD and move forward with y our plans.  Be as meticulous and think as clearly as you can.  While the crowds are at the blood movies, go to the African American History and Cultural Museum; While they are enjoying the football game and the $50.00 tickets, go to the Library and read something that moves your plans ahead.  I offer this to my celebrity friends, my personal friends, my church friends, and my family. And I have, this week, been thinking especially of Mr. Bill Cosby and praying for Him.  What they did to deny Him the proper growth and success He could have had was criminal.  The loss of His son was never unearthed. And yet He gave us a very long lived and successful life and is still an inspiration to thousands of Black teens and young Black men. I stand proudly among them.
