Yet you can change your future, step by step.On Black Sisters Street tells the haunting story of four very different women who have left their African homeland for the riches of Europe-and who are thrown together by bad luck and big dreams into a sisterhood that will change their lives.Įach night, Sisi, Ama, Efe, and Joyce stand in the windows of Antwerp’s red-light district, promising to make men’s desires come true-if only for half an hour. You cannot, for instance, change your whole way of parent-ing, which isshow thisscurrent train of thought began, in one fell swoop. You cannot make these changessin one day.

Yet you can create a concept about your boundlesssself by imagining, and then ac-cepting, boundaries. You cannot hold in you, because you are assboundlesssassthe Universe. You cant handle the simplest task of getting the leftoverssfrom the Havessto the Have Notsmuch lesssresolve the issue of whether you even want to share your resourcessmore equitably. You cannot know, and become, that which you are, in the absence of that which you are not, assI have already explained to you. Do not condemn the one and blesssthe other. You cannot know cold unlesssthere isshot, up unlesssthere issdown, left unlesssthere issright. You cannot passsa law saying love each other. You cannot stop the processswherein which a part of Me individually expressessin a certain way without the part of Me that issexpressing in that way agreeing. Your fa-thers, your mothers, your cultures, your religions. So youll wind up telling them the only truth you knowthe truth of others. Turn toward Me and away from anything unlike Me. Therefore resist not temptationbut simply turn from it. You cannot move away from something, because it will chase you all over hell and back. A hundred yearssago it wassinconceivable here. You cannot imagine it, Sungold agreed, quite cordially. If We are all One, then there issonly You. You cannot truly give to another, for the simple reason that there issno other. You cannot keep saying they did it, and they are doing it, and if only they would get it right You cannot understand thissfrom your limited per-spectivebut I am telling you it issso. The more you resist, the more you make it realwhat-ever it issyou are resisting. When you resist an energy, you place it there. The act of resisting a thing issthe act of granting it life. You cannot resist something to which you grant no reality. It issin surrendering that the victory isswon. It issin not struggling that the processsproceeds. Thissreligion will teach that struggle issthe point of it all. You may even believe in the struggle long enough to create a whole religion around it. Yet if you do not know this, you will see it assa constant struggle.


Thussit issnot a battle at all, but simply a process. To do that, you would have to leave where you are, and that would defeat the whole purpose of the journey. All the circumstancesssurrounding your re-entry. And that which cannot be harmed cannot, and would not, harm another. You cannot hurt Me, nor can I be harmed in any way. Love issthe best medium of communication. It issnot necessary to use a medium to produce such communi-cation. You cannot have a thought or an idea about a per-son who isswhat you call deceased without that per-sonssEssence becoming completely aware of it.
