THE INFINITY LESSONS
This has been given to you for a reason.
Open your hearts to‑embrace the pull of the Universal tide. The bridge has been built. Now is the time for us to cross into the next dimension of Togetherness that the New Age has brought.
Don't fight what you can feel.
Every One of Us is truly a divine creation, each unique in nature, the result of a spark from the Fire in the heart of God. The Age of Aquarius is truly here. This is a time for our self‑identity to be revealed. We are all divine beings. After 26,000 years, as enough of Humanity reaches this realization, an effect is created on all human beings. The Force of Truth is pressing on us. The Force has cracked the dam, which restrains Human consciousness and has allowed an unstoppable flowing energy to be released.
This Force of Truth is gaining more momentum every day, as more people feel it's effects.
Don't fight the flow. Let it carry you to our true destiny, Unity.
The illusion of separateness is the dam that blocks the stream of consciousness. Overcome the illusion; expand your circle of compassion.
Love One Another
As the circle expands, our collective consciousness grows, bringing us to ever-higher realizations of divinity.
As we are individually aligned with our true nature, the whole of humanity is strengthened, By focusing on your own development you serve all of humanity.
At different times in history, certain fully realized beings have come to teach us by. Revealing different parts of the plan for the development of humanity as a 'Whole. These teachings have all focused on the universal truths, and have taught about the power of Love. Do unto others, as you would have them do to you.
Multiplied and exponential growth...as more and more of us discover the truth inside.
The New World is Inside You.
Zulu Kings brings forth the vision that we may all exist in harmony. We celebrate our divine nature, and appreciate
Our individual contributions to the good of the group...
This is the true nature of the Age of Aquarius. Through coming together with music and dance, We Unite.
Since the beginning of time people have danced as a way of communing with the higher power. People have danced in prayer, for fertility, to help their crops grow, to communicate with spirits, and to celebrate Life.
Dancing is a meditative way for many of us to experience visions of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect, and transmits these Visions to humanity
As we align our mind, body and spirit we become aware of the natural pull to that which is right. "Thought" is replaced with "Feel".
We are all like stars in the constellations above; we exist in relationship to each other. In the galaxy of human consciousness no one is alone. We all live together.
Be as one Spirit, one Soul, leaves of one tree, flowers of one garden, waves of one ocean.
Be Who You Are,
The Truth is inside
HOW WE TREAT PEOPLE
Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I
was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until
I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the
school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several
times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know
her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just
before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count
toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many
people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even
if all you do is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing
on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rainstorm.
Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet,
she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help
her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took
her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked
him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his
surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special
note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the
highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also
my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it
to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you
for helping me and unselfishly serving others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve. In the
days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered
a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table.
A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice
cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out
of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more
people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted
his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice
cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the
ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
table. there, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and
five pennies.. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to
have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid
himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of
the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked
around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear,
but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon
approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to
move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and
straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of
vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King
indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from
the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts.
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to
know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious
disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion
from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same
disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the
little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and
saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion
progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,
seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his
smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling
voice, "Will I start to die right away."
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he
was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save
her.

DECREES OF OPTIMUM HEALTH & FITNESS
submitted by Zulu Goddess Wanda Dee
b. STRETCH before leaving your bed (if
nature will allow you to do so), especially as you just drank all of that
water and/or tea the night before. You ever see a cat or dog or (any animal
for that matter) get up from a good & sound sleep… it will NOT just leap off
into the day to begin it's search for food, fun or companionship (as we do
everyday)… it will at first take two or three GOOD STRETCHES to let the body
know it's alert, awake and in need of all faculties (mind, body & soul) to
link up in harmony to successfully start the day.
Just take your ARMS and reach them up towards the ceiling of your room as far
as you can stretch them. Then point your toes as far as you can and bring
your LEGS up (one at a time at first) as far as you can, and hold them there
for 10 seconds each, afterwhich, then let the leg go outward towards your
walls (so now you've stretched the legs both upward and now outward).
Sit up in bed (with a straight back and good posture) and turn the HEAD slowly
to the left and right and then turn the entire TORSO to the left and then to
the right at least three times each. Those of you who practice yoga will know
where to take this.
c. RELIEVE YOURSELF in the restroom and then start whatever ritual you follow
to CLEAN and BATHE yourself (teeth & body)
d. EAT… for now, it should be 11:00AM, and the starter pistol has now been
fired… feel free to INGEST your favorite (healthy) foods as you can during the
8 hour timeframe of 11:00AM through 7:00PM (when you're due back at the
theater, if your on the road) -OR- right up until dinner time (if you're at
home and/or in the recording studio), but then just CUT IT OFF AT 7:00PM… with
no exceptions! If you do this, I assure you, your waistline from high school
will return in just under 2 weeks (if you're currently only 10 to 15 pounds
overweight) and under 4 weeks (if you're 15 to 30 pounds overweight), and just
add an extra 2 weeks for every 10 pounds you're over your ideal weight.
e. In cases of extreme desired weight lose, simply cut your eating at 4:00PM,
regardless! This feat alone will cause you to lose 10 to 15 pounds per week,
guaranteed without fail!! WORKS EVERYTIME! 4:00PM - AND THE KITCHEN IS
CLOSED & SEND THE CHEFS HOME until either 8:00AM (if you need a full eight
hours of ingesting) or until 10:00AM or 11:00AM (if you can get by on just 5
or 6 hours of ingesting)! Follow this, and you will drop two dress sizes
per week, and be amazed how your body kicks into overdrive to re-shape,
re-sculpt and remold you into what you're truly supposed to look like!
f. PYRAMID EAT … BIG breakfast, smaller lunch & a tiny dinner. Most people
eat the other way around (tiny breakfast, larger lunch & then a huge four
course dinner), and this is a mistake that you & your waistline will pay the
price for. As the day winds down, so should your ingesting… period!
MIRACLE "FOODS"
You, like God, are made up of a "holy trinity"… except in your case, it's
MIND, BODY & SOUL… and unfortunately, it is all too often that people fail to
recognize that they ALL (3) three components must eat in order to live and
function properly! How many times have either you yourself or someone you
know, ran around exclaiming; "I'm hungry" (while looking for the nearest fast
food joint or snack to fill their grumbling empty stomach pockets)… well,
there are other aspects of the SELF that must feed to be nourished too, for
they too get HUNGRY; and for optimum balance in and through life, they must be
fed!
THE MIND needs knowledge, wisdom and mental challenges… everyday! Thus, you
should be committed to learn something new everyday… either about yourself,
your friends, family, the people and/or the world around you…
it is one of the reasons why I love spider webs OUTSIDE of my window during
the warm summer months and/or bird feeders on my terrace, for I get to, at my
leisure, sit down and watch NATURE conduct Herself, which is NOT only terribly
relaxing and entertaining, but I'm also gaining insightful knowledge of how
some of the most seemingly simple little creatures maintain their complex
existence's, while still staying in tune and balance with nature.
Pick up a BOOK and read (let the mind get outside of itself and stretch a
little, too; which is why God gave us all an imagination in the first place)
or your favorite magazine (I happen to like O by Oprah Winfrey, Essence and
even the National Enquirer at times for pure straight up FUN)!
THE BODY I think we've covered pretty well… but here is a list of some foods
and vitamins that you need to have in your diet DAILY (at best) and WEEKLY (at
worst). Think of your body without it's skin covering what it actually looks
like underneath… okay, do you have the picture in your mind… pretty grotesque,
huh? Well, your body is merely made up of thousands upon thousands of
"TUBING"… that's right, I said tubes! Just like a car; your arteries,
capillaries, veins, nasal passage, throat, anus, urethra, intestines and the
like are ALL TUBES that connect one part of the body to another. Now,
sickness occurs when any one or more of those tubes get BLOCKED (hardened
arteries lead to heart attack and/or stroke, blocked veins lead to phlebitis,
clogged pores lead to acne and so on and so on…). Henceforth, your mission
each day in life is to ingest MIRACLE FOODS that act as a sort of DRANO (if
you would) to the various complex tubes in your body. Now, you should have a
clear picture in your head now…
Just think of all the relatives and friends we have who have been sick, are
sick and/or yourself right now (if you're presently sick)… if you visually
think back to what and how they ate and lived their daily lives (or yourself
for that matter), it will lead you right back down a path where there is some
TUBE BLOCKAGE causing the ailment that is currently in existence.
Listed below are some MIRACLE FOODS that will help to keep you UNCLOGGED,
UNBLOCKED and PHYSICALLY HUMMING like a brand new & powerful sports car. They
are as follows…
GARLIC
- either fresh in your salads or by pill, take it DAILY for your blood stream,
which is your 'river of life'! It helps clean the blood of impurities and
toxins… why do you think a creature as unclean and vile as vampires would
despise such a food? Because it makes the blood much too pure and clean for
(even) a vampire to enjoy!
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR
- is one of nature's miracles and one of the best sources of NATURAL DRANO
you'll ever come across. Not only does it burn fat, it also boosts your
immune system tremendously and it should be taken DAILY! We put a capful of
ACV in our tea, our water,
sprinkled over salad, in our sauces and the like… anyway we can get it
into our bodies, we do! NOTE: DO NOT TAKE THIS HOWEVER, JUST
BEFORE YOU HAVE TO SING (either on stage or in session), FOR IT WILL STRIP
YOUR THROAT OF ALL PHLEGM & COATING NEEDED FOR MAXIMUM VOCAL VIRTUOSITY, but
as a means to build your immune system before hitting the road, nothing beats
it.
HONEY
- powerful elixir made by bees and enjoyed by the world. Should be ingested
DAILY in either tea, water or a tablespoon taken directly. Boosts the immune
system, cleans out the toxic build up in the body and refortifies healthy
enzymes which regulate the bodies defenses against disease. This should be
the only sweetener you use for life. NO SUGAR!
OATMEAL
- DAILY is what I recommend! Good for the digestive system and great for what
ails you… just learn to fix it like you like it (w/raisins, honey, your
favorite fruit, etc.).
SWEET POTATO
- has got to be God's perfect food! Completely healthy for you in every way
and a major cancer fighter, just heat it, greet it and eat it… WEEKLY!
BROCCOLI
- as raw as you can stand it, as it is also a fabulous cancer fighter and
something the body both enjoys and needs for proper and swift repair service.
DAILY in your salads would be best!
LEMON
- is a natural astringent and is well known for its' cleaning powers (i.e.
lemon pledge, lemon Joy, and so on)… sprinkle it on salads, over poultry
(lemon chicken, etc.) or put some in your water at least once a day. Great fat
burner, too! DAILY!
NOTE: LEMON & DAIRY DO NOT AGREE IN THE STOMACH, SO MAKE SURE WHEN INGESTING
LEMON THAT YOU DON'T TURN AROUND AND HAVE A BOWL OF CEREAL W/MILK OR HAVE SOME
DAIRY BASED SALAD DRESSING… THE LEMON WILL MAKE THE MILK IMMEDIATELY CURDLE IN
YOUR STOMACH AND YOU COULD POTENTIALLY VOMIT LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!
YOGURT
- filled with live cultures, work miracles on the vaginal area… keeping the
vagina's natural enzymes and "good" bacteria strengthened to ward off yeast
infections. I haven't had a yeast infection since my teens (when I was
blindly ignorant to how my body works). Also, here's a great tip for you
adventurous lovers… as a sexual lubricant, it's not only effective, but
extremely healthy. DAILY!
CRANBERRY JUICE
or FRUIT - Again, this is just straight up good vagina food, great for warding
off urinary tract infections! DAILY!
PINEAPPLE JUICE
or FRUIT - This is the greatest thing you can drink for the voice! Coats
the throat so nicely, rumor has it that many great opera divas, gargle with
Pineapple Juice (Hawaii's miracle fruit)! Instead of lemon, try putting some
drops of this in your tea with honey before a show, and demand via your artist
rider that it is in your dressing room, when out on the road! DAILY!
WATER! EVERYDAY! MORNING! NOON! AND NIGHT! WATER!
YEAST INFECTIONS ARE CAUSED BY: STRESS, DYE'S in your underwear (colored
panties like reds, purple, blue and the like… these colors bleed into the
vagina when you sweat and/or get moist down there), PANTY HOSE directly up
against the vagina (separate them with a white cotton thong, panty or panty
shield), MUSHROOMS, WHITE SUGAR, YEAST FILLED BREADS (duh?), ALL PERFUMED
SOAPS that touch the vagina (use Summer's Eve or a hypoallergenic soap with no
dye's or perfumes), DEODORANT or SCENTED sanitary napkins, toilet tissue
(Bounty in particular) or talcum powder (not only cause yeast infections, but
will surely give you ovarian cancer - NEVER PUT POWDER DOWN IN YOUR 'TOUCH
GARDEN' AGAIN, EVER), HEAVY DEODORANT DETERGENT in your clothes (find and
stick the mildest detergent you can find to wash your clothes and linen in,
like Arm & Hammer or something from an organic/health food store.
STAY AWAY FROM: SALT (don't be a salt shaker), there is enough sodium in
almost everything you put in your mouth, no need to add any more to the food
you ingest. The rule is BALK at SALT! BLEACHED FOOD like WHITE BREAD, WHITE
CRACKERS, WHITE DOUGH BISCUITS, WHITE (REFINED) SUGARS, WHITE PASTA'S… it's
all bad for you! Bread is NOT the best food for you unless it is either WHOLE
GRAIN, MULTIGRAIN, OATMEAL or POTATO BREAD. Wheat's better than white, but
not that much better actually! So beware!
Remember that when it comes to bread, the darker it is, the better it is for
you!
FRIED FOODS, can you say "cancer"!? Especially, French fries… the compacted
grease alone in fries wreak havoc on your system.
PMS, MENSTRUAL CRAMPING & EXCESSIVE VAGINAL BLEEDING ARE CAUSED BY: STRESS
(take time to learn how to relax, develop a personal mantra you recite to
yourself in the mirror each day while looking into your own eyes - connecting
with the driver inside works)! SUGAR is NOT your friend, especially when
you're period approaches and arrives, for it simply AMPLIFIES everything
within the whole experience (heavy drama, heavy cramping, heavy bleeding,
heavy emotional trauma). SALT is NOT your friend here either, not to mention
it also retains water, causing you to bloat even more than your period has
naturally made you for the time being! NEVER BUY SALT or SUGAR again… so what
you used to see your momma buy it, what's the state of her health today, I ask
you (and if she's dead, what ailed and eventually killed her before she died,
you have to ask yourself… it's time to break the cycle of ignorance that has
been killing our people all too prematurely for centuries now)! ENOUGH
ALREADY!
WASHING YOUR HANDS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. Wash them often and before touching
any food in your refrigerator. And make sure the people who handle your food,
wash their hands too. Remember, when someone touches the bread in the pack or
sandwich meat in a pack, they have to also touch the pieces that remain, in
addition to your own… so it's important that hands are clean.
LEARN TO TRAVEL WITH A SMALL ALCOHOL & PEROXIDE MIX, for cleaning microphones
you have to use, silverware at restaurants, doorknobs, handles, your hands
after shaking (far too many) & your hotel room knobs, phone, handles, remote
control, etc. Your health is your responsibility!
BEWARE OF ALUMINUM IN LOTIONS, SOAPS, TOOTH PASTE & DEODORANTS for this can
cause Alzheimer's and clogs your sweat glands. Buy lotions & soaps without
this ingredient. Also, SACCHARINE in your toothpaste or soft drinks is cancer
causing, and a definite NO-NO!
A NATURAL FACIAL treat can be made with a simple mixture of oatmeal, apple
cider vinegar, cucumber, honey, lemon & apricot. Blend them all together in
your blender with a dash of warm water, apply to face with outwardly circular
strokes and then let sit for 30 minutes before washing off. Your face will
drink this natural nutrient mask up and love you for it! Natural sperm also
makes a great facial, but could prove to be hard to extract! Yes, I said
it!!! It's actual and factual, get over it! Sperm is filled with "LIFE" and
honey, where's there's life, there's hope!
VITAMINS & SUPPLEMENTS that you must have in your system for maximum energy,
repair & immune booster include the following… vitamin A, B, C, D, E & K, in
addition to Beta Carotene, Folic Acid, Potassium, Licorice, Iron & Zinc. Most
of these could be covered in a good brand multivitamin. Grape Seed extract &
Cranberry pills (for your urinary tract), Garlic/Cheyenne Pepper/Apple Cider
Vinegar pills (unclog your tubes & burn fat), Omega-3/Cod Liver Oil pills for
good heart health & Wormwood pills will help rid your body of parasites (one
of the leading causes of disease).
LIFE, LOVE & LAUGHTER is all any of us should be after! These are the (3)
three main ingredients to a healthy, happy & harmonious existence in the
present. And I must stress in the present… for one should NOT live in the
past, nor should you project yourself too far into the future; for you will
only allow RIGHT NOW to pass you by. And there's no greater time in your life
than RIGHT NOW! WHY? Well, it's simple…
REMEMBER: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and RIGHT NOW is a
gift, which is why it's called; the present! RIGHT NOW is your gift! Don't
waste it worrying about the future or dwelling on who did you wrong in the
past… hell, just get up and work THIS MOMENT for all it's worth! Learn to
accept, relax, relate, release and enjoy where and who you are RIGHT NOW at
this moment and time, (as a master work in progress) for it will (truly) never
come again!

Superfoods Everyone Needs
THE 10 WORST THINGS YOU COULD EVER EAT
1- Doughnuts
NOTHING clogs your system up more than a sugar/grease laden doughnut,
which
is a deep fried food, you must remember.
2- Potato Chips
SAME AS ABOVE... simply one of the worst things you could ever put in
your
mouth, and we unfortunately have been told & taught that this is what
you
give to guests and yourself at parties, celebrations or a snack while
studying
in or after school. Wrong, wrong, wrong... in fact, DEAD WRONG!!!!!
3- Margarine
You might as well eat melted plastic... period.
4- Nitrate Meats
Frankfurters, smoked bacons, packaged lunch meats, kelbasa sausage,
etc....
it is very important that you read the labels and put down any
prepackaged meat
product that says the word NITRATE(S), for that is the equivalent of
the word
"Cancer".
5- Oodles Of Noodles
The sodium count alone in this is enough to send your blood pressure
through the
roof. It's a cheap food, I know, that tastes good, but trust me,
you'll get what you
paid for.
6- Sugar
Simply scratch the purchase of white sugar OFF of your grocery list
forever.
It is one of the worst things you could ever introduce to your system,
and causes
immediate cell destruction, premature aging, premature graying, gout,
arthritis,
muscular degeneration and promotes everything from chemically
imbalanced
induced bipolarism, mood swings & yeast infections. Need I go on? DO
NOT
BUY SUGAR ANYMORE (I haven't in 20 years) and learn to sweeten all
things
in your personal recipes or foods with honey.
7- Cheese
Real cheese does indeed have some nutritional value via calcium, but
the way
this substance sits in your body (literally) for years and ferments,
clogging you
up and assisting your cancerous cells in their will to live & dominate,
it's just
not worth it. Do you know you could still have ingested cheese in your
upper
intestinal system from that plate of macaroni & cheese you ate at
Thanksgiving...
1994. Pizza constipates a person more than almost anything I know
(fortified
with both real cheese and white bread/dough?)! Homemade wheat pizza
made
with veggie cheese is the way to go.
8- Pork
This is a parasitical meat that will only introduce foreign living,
dangerous
parasites to your body who will ruin your health into a state of
disease and
dysfunction (diabetes, high blood pressure, hyper tension, stroke,
heart
attack, advanced aging, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.). This beast was
not meant
for human consumption, trust me on this. If you don't eat it...
GREAT! If you
have, go to your local healthfood store and get yourself some WORMWOOD
pills and take them (I believe it's as many as six a day) to begin the
process
of ridding yourself of parasites. Remember, everything that breaths
(including
parasites) have to replicate/mate, defecate & urinate... so just
imagine what
kinds of damage thousands parasites in your body at one time are
wreaking
on your system?)! You get the picture right? GOOD!
9- Hydrogenated & Trans Fatty oils
This highly cancer causing oil can be found in most store brought
microwavable
popcorn, pastries, cakes, pies, can goods and most of your butters/margerines.
RUN FROM THIS substance and your body will thank you later... this is a
heart attack on a plate.
10- Caffeine
Derived from sodas, coffees, chocolates, etc. This is a dietary
no-no, as it
negatively effects sleep, mood, energy, cell regeneration, cystic
growth & aging.
And be careful for even sodas like Mello-Yello and Sprite have caffeine
in them,
and this is a highly addictive substance (just think of how many people
you know,
if not yourself, that can seem to get through a day without caffeine
laden coffer/tea
or Pepsi, Coca Cola and the like)!
The bottom line is,
it's your body, gifted to you by a loving God, what you do with it & how you
treat it, is your gift back to Her!
Choose wisely, for it's far easier to prevent, then it is to heal & undo!

UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION INFINITY LESSON ON.
THE HISTORY OF THE ZULU AID CLUB NEW ORLEANS LA.
History of the Zulu Social Aid
& Pleasure Club, Inc.
Researched and compiled by the Historian Committee: Clarence A. Becknell Chairman; Tom Price, Assistant Chairman, Don Short and Mirt Williams.
Early in 1909, a group of laborers, who had organized a club named “The Tramps,” went to the Pythian Temple Theatre to see a musical comedy performed by the Smart Set. The comedy included a skit entitled, “There Never Was and Never Will Be A Kin‑, Like Me,” about the Zulu Tribe... That is how the Zulus be‑an, as the many stories go. Years of extensive research by the Historian staff seem to indicate that the Zulu’s beginning was much more complicated than that. The earliest signs of organization came from the fact that most of these men belonged to a Benevolent Aid Society. Benevolent Societies were the first forms of insurance in the Black community. Where for a small amount of dues, members received financial help when sick or financial aid when burying deceased members. Conversations with older members also indicated that in that era the city was divided into wards and each ward had its own group or “club.” The Tramps were one such group. After seeing the skit, they retired to their meeting place, a room in the rear of a restaurant/bar in the 1100 block of Perdido Street, and emerged as the Zulus. This group was probably made up of members from the Tramps, the Benevolent Society and other ward based groups.
While the “Group” marched in Mardi Gras as early as 1901, their first appearance as Zulus came in 1909, with William story as King The group were raggedy pants, and had a Jubilee singing
Quartet in front of and behind King Story. His costume
of “lard can” crown and “banana stalk” scepter had been well documented. The kings following William Story,
(William Crawford‑1910 Peter Williams‑1912 and Henry Harris‑1914)’ were similarity attired. 1915 heralded the first
use Of
floats, constructed on a spring wagon, using dry good boxes. The float was decorated with palmetto leaves and moss
and car‑ four Dukes along with the King. That humble beginning gave rise to the lavish floats we see in the Zulu
parade today.
On September 20,1916, in the notorial office of Gabriel Fernandez, the Zulu Social Aid Club was incorporated. Twenty-two of the organization’s officers and members signed that first official document.
It’s been written that the early Zulus were a parody on the staid white celebration of Mardi Gras. Whether true of not, the Zulus did march to their own drum beat. They originally had members dress as females to serve as queen, and later, female impersonators “reigned” as queens, to finally using bona fide females as queens. Their queens were, and still are, toasted in front of Geddes, Moss and Willis Funeral Home. was no macabre intent meant by this tradition. The Geddes and Moss
were there
Funeral Home played an integral part in Zulu’s beginning and has continued to do so throughout the years.
Zulus were not without their controversies either. In the 1960’s during the height of Black awareness it was unpopular to be a Zulu. Dressing in a ‑rass skirt and putting on black face were seen as being demeaning. Large numbers of black Organization protested against Zulu and membership dwindled to approximately 16 men. James Russell, a long time member, served as president in this period and is credited with holding the group together and slowly bringing Zulu back to the forefront.
In 1968 Zulu’s route took them on St. Charles and Canal streets for the first time in modern era. Here to fore, to see the Zulu parade you had to travel the so‑called “back streets” of the Black neighborhoods. The segregation laws of the period contribute to this, Zulu tradition also played a part. In those days neighborhood bars sponsored certain floats and consequently the floats were obligated to pass those bars. Passing meant stopping, as the bars advertised that the “Zulus will stop here.” Once stopped at a sponsoring bar, it was often difficult to get the riders out of the establishment, so the other floats took off in different directions to fulfill their obligation
Of all the throws to rain down from the many floats in the parades during carnival, the Zulu coconut or “golden nugget” is the most sought after. The earliest reference to the coconut appears to be about 1910 when the coconuts were given from the floats in their natural “hairy” state. Some years later there is a reference to Lucus, “the sign painter,” scraping and painting the coconuts. This, in all likelihood was the forerunner to the beautifully decorated coconuts we see today. just as every thing else in Zulu history, the coconut is not without controversy. With the proliferation of law suits from people alleging injury from thrown coconuts, the organization was unable to get insurance coverage in 1987. So that year, the time honored tradition was suspended. Alter much lobbying, the Louisiana Legislature passed §B188, aptly dubbed the “coconut bill,” which excluded the coconut from liability for alleged injuries arising from the coconuts handed from the floats. On July 8, 1988, then governor Edwards signed the bill into law.
Through the adversity, the Zulu organization has persevered. It has risen to the point of being not only the premier Black social organization, but is known internationally as one of the major Carnival organizations. Zulu also integrates itself in the community, from adopting public schools, providing scholarships for Southern University, to providing food baskets to needy families during the holiday seasons.
Zulu’s history is illustrious and at times colorful and could fill volumes. It is also continual, with chapters being written constantly. This was an attempt to afford the reader insight on whom and what we are.

To educate, develop and improve the present state of mind of adults and youth around the world.
To spread our message of love, peace and unity amongst all races through our ways and actions.
To preserve the culture of Hip-Hop and all art forms created from it and to use music as a medium for cultural exchange and understanding.
To provide a safe haven to nurture the inherent genius of adults and youth around the world.
To assist others in developing careers and opportunities as they express their God-given potential and talents.

Anyone who believes in our goals and can thrive individually and in group settings should consider membership. We will consider working with any organization that believes as we do.

WHERE DID THE NAME 'ZULU NATION' COME FROM?
The Zulu Nation is a great South African tribe that became as empire under the leadership of Shaka Zulu, one of the greatest Zulu Chieftains (Leaders).
WHAT DOES THE WORD 'ZULU' MEAN IN RELATION TO THE UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION?
The word means "the Heavens" and "Strength in Numbers".
WHAT DOES THE WORD 'AMAZULU' MEAN TO THE UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION?
The word Amazulu means "The People of Heaven".
WHAT IS THE UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION?
The Universal Zulu Nation is an organization of men, women, and youth which was founded in the United States by a Nubian (Black) man named Afrika Bambaataa. This organization has hundreds of chapters throughout the world. Its members, who came from many different races, cultures, nationalities, countries and religions believe in freedom, justice, equality, knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Zulu Nation members discourage divisions and want to see peace and unity on the planet Earth with all races. Without these, we all face social, economic, physical and spiritual destruction. This is the Universal Zulu Nation.
WHEN AND WHERE WAS THE UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION FOUNDED?
The Universal Zulu Nation was founded in 1973 in the Bronx, New York, by a young student named Afrika Bambaataa. It was his idea to use music to spread the message of the Universal Zulu Nation. He knew that music is Universal and crosses all barriers. So with the birth of Hip-Hop, which started in New York City, Afrika Bambaataa, members of the Zulu Nation and many of his groups like; the Soulsonic Force, Shango, Rock Steady Crew, D.S.T., Fab Five Freddy, Phase 2, Dondi, and Futura 2000, started to travel throughout the world to spread Hip-Hop Culture.
WHAT IS THE MISSION OF THE UNIVERSAL ZULU NATION?
As we are dedicated to improving and uplifting ourselves and our communities, all Zulu Nation members should be involved in some activity that is positive and gives back to the community. Hip-Hop music is our vehicle of expression. We can learn to write, produce, market, promote, publish, perform and televise our own music, for our own people. There are too many divisions between males and females. There are too many divisions between young adults and their parents and too many divisions between rich and poor-urban and suburban. Now is the time for us to build together as well as develop individually. All of the ills and problems that plague our community, we are going to address. We already know Hip-Hop and the Zulu Nation are here to stay. Both are over twenty years old and both exist and thrive across the world. Some of the projects we plan to organize and become involved with are:
canned food drives
tutoring sessions
home and building clean-ups
mentoring programs
neighborhood protection
seminars
conferences
newsletters
magazines
books
concerts
programs that close the gaps between the generations and the sexes

Personal Rights
Everyone has human, Personal Rights. They are different from Legal Rights. Some people may not understand that everyone is entitled to Personal Rights and violate them. When that happens we cannot always turn to the law to defend our Personal Rights. We can only turn to ourselves and our resources. It is important to know what our Personal Rights are, so we can protect ourselves more effectively.
When you claim your Personal Rights, remember:
Everyone else has Personal Rights
too.
Know to respect their Personal Rights as much as you
want yours to be respected.
YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT...
IT'S NEVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY...
The Mind
(From the teachings of the
Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad)
The mind has 5 degree of consciousness.
They are:
(1)CONSCIOUS
(2)SUBCONSCIOUS
(3)SUPER-CONSCIOUS
(4)MAGNETIC
(5)INFINITY
These 5 points have direct contact with 7
planes of energy on which the Blackman amplifies. They are:
(1) PHYSICAL
(2) EMOTIONAL
(3) MENTAL
(4) WILL
(5) REALIZATION
(7) INFINITY.
THE FOURTH POINT OF MIND. THE WILL WHICH IS CALLED THE SOUL OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
THIS IS THE INTERACTION WILL THAT IS SOMETIMES CALLED THE SOUL OF LIFE. IT IS
ALSO KNOWN AS KARMA, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF PARMA, WHICH IS THE PRINCIPLE
OF ALL FORMS OF MATTER THE FOURTH DEGREE: MAGNETIC OF ALL ACTIVE ENERGY LIKE
THE SUN. THIS IS HOW ALL ABOVE IS CAUSED BY THE SON OF MAN. THE
SUPER-CONSCIOUS IS THE PREDICTION FORM OF THE MIND. THE SCOPE OF ORIGINALITY
WAS BROUGHT ABOUT THROUGH THE PROPAGATION OF THE ORIGINAL FAMILY. THIS IS HOW
EACH INDIVIDUAL IS DIFFERENT FROM ANOTHER STAGE OF THE SOUL CONSCIOUS. THE
WILL OF THE MIND WILL AWAKEN TO THE REALIZATION OF THE MIND.
The Mind is What?
THE MIND IS THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE OF INFINITY WHICH IS THE MIND, TIME,
WEIGHT, AND SPACE THIS IS THE MIND LIVING IN IT'S NATURAL FORM WHICH ONLY THE
MIND CAN DETECT. THE MIND IS THE ALL EYE SEEING.
THE MIND AND BODY
THE MIND IS THE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE, WHICH IS
THE DIVINE PROPAGATION OF ALL THINGS IN EXISTENCE. THE MIND IS THE SUPREME
FORCE OF ENERGY, WHICH IS THE ACTIVATION OF MATTER, WHICH IN ITSELF IS A DENSE
FORM OF ENERGY. THE PHYSICAL COMPOSITION OF THE BLACK MAN IS ENERGY, BUT IS A
POTENTIAL ENERGY. ONCE THE MOTIVATION OCCURS WITHIN SELF, IT BEGINS ACTIVATION,
WHICH TRANSFERS IT INTO KINETIC ENERGY, WHICH IS IN MOVEMENT. THE MIND IS
LIVING ENERGY; KNOWLEDGE IS POTENTIAL ENERGY, AND WHEN IN ACTIVATION, IT
BECOMES LIVING ENERGY. THE MIND BEING ENERGY OR FORCE IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ALL
OTHER ENERGY OR FORCE. THE BLACK MAN WHO POSSESSES THE UNIVERSAL BID-CHEMICAL
PHYSICAL COMPOSITION LIFE FORCE OR MIND AND BODY. FOR HE IS THE MIND, WHICH IS
SUPREME POWER AND FORCE. THE ACCESS IS THE ACTIVATION AND TRANSFORMATION.
THE MIND IS THE ENERGY OF LIFE, AND BODY IS THE MANIFESTATION OF THIS ENERGY.
IN ACTIVATION, THE MIND AND BODY ARE ONE, BUT OF DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF ENERGY.
Power of the Mind
THE MIND IS THE SUPREME FORCE AND POWER. IT IS ABOVE ALL MATTER. THE MIND IS THE FORCE WHICH CREATED THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. ALLAH MEANS ONE WHO POSSES THE MOST SUPREME FORCE AND POWER. HE IS THE MASTER MIND. FORCE AND POWER PROVES THAT HE IS THE MASTER MIND. THE MIND IS THAT WHICH MOTIVATES THINGS. ALLAH WHO IS THE SUPREME MIND, ALWAYS EXISTED AND ALWAYS WILL EXIST.
HE WAS HERE BEFORE HE PRODUCED THE SUN, MOON, AND STARS. HE EXISTED IN TRIPLE DARKNESS, TRIPLE DARKNESS IS WHAT YOU HAVE WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THE THREE(3) GREAT LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS ARE ON OUR FLAG SUN, MOON, AND STARS.
TRIPLE MEANS EVERYTHING THAT WE SEE AROUND US IS MADE BY MAN. THE CHAIRS WE SIT ON, THE BED WE LAY ON, ECT. BUT IT TOOK A MAN TO USE HIS MIND TO THINK OF SUCH THINGS, AFTER HE THOUGHT ABOUT SITTING, HE PRODUCED A CHAIR. ALE THIS THINKING ORIGINATED FROM THE SUPREME FORCE, THE MIND. ALLAH WENT TO WAR IN TRIPLE DARKNESS, SO ALLAH PUT TOGETHER THE PROTONS, NEUTRONS, AND ELECTRONS AND FORMED AN ATOM. THIS ATOM TOOK 6 TRILLION YEARS TO GROW INTO THE SUN THAT GIVES US OUR LIGHT. WHEN SOMEONE MAKES SOMETHING, HE KNOWN FOR WHAT HE MAKES. WHEN THE NAME THOMAS EDISON COMES TO OUR MIND, WE MAY THINK OF COTTON GIN. MEN ARE KNOWN BY THE CAPABILITY THE MIND. ALLAH IS KNOWN FOR HIS SUPREME CAPACITY OF PRODUCING THE SUN, MOON, AND STARS. THE MIND CAN BE COMPARED TO ELECTRICITY IN A SENSE BECAUSE ELECTRICITY MAKES THINGS MOVE, THE CIPHER, CARS, EVEN PEOPLE, THEY TOUCH ELECTRICITY.
THE MIND CANNOT BE TOUCHED LIKE WE WOULD
A BOOK OR OUR BODY. A
BLACK MAN IS ONE WHO PRODUCED OUT OF TRIPLE DARKNESS. WHEN ALLAH PRODUCED HIS
PHYSICAL FORM, IT TOOK ON A STATE OF COLOR THAT IS EXISTED IN WHICH IS
DARKNESS. THE MIND IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT ACTUALLY CONTROLS THE PHYSICAL
MATTER THAT EXIST EVERYWHERE.
KNOWLEDGE IS INFINITE A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE
PEACE IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
