THE SCIENCE OF SELF

MAN, GOD, AND THE MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE OF NATURE (TENTATIVE SUBTITLE)

Dr. Supreme Understanding and CBS Alife Allah Published by Supreme Design Publishing Release Date: June 13, 2012 Pages: 360 + 16 pages of full-color inserts Dimensions: 5.5 x 8.5 About the Book The Science of Self is a dynamic tour of the formation of our universe, the development of life, and the laws that govern these processes and personify themselves as Man. The book introduces readers to hundreds of scientific fields, peering into what quantum mechanics, paleo-anthropology, genetics, mathematics, and archaeology have to say about the past, present, and future of Black and brown people. As the first of a fivevolume series, this volume ventures beyond superficial ideas about history, science, and metaphysics, plunging into questions about the mathematical language that unifies man, God, and the laws of life and matter. In addition to exploring topics never before addressed within a culturally relevant context such as the connection between the melanin found in interstellar black clouds known as Bok globules and the seeds of life on Earth, to the indigenous roots of most Western scientific traditions, to the science of concepts like Chi and the Orishas The Science of Self also teaches scientific thinking. Through questions, activities, and thought-provoking content, this work stimulates critical thinking and analysis, skills that when lacking contribute to serious problems in urban communities throughout America. With 16 pages of full-color images, and black-and-white images throughout, The Science of Self combines visual aids with easy-to-read conversational language, making difficult concepts much more accessible to readers of all backgrounds. This work represents over two decades of combined research by its co-authors, with over 300 evidence-based and peer-reviewed references cited throughout the text. The Science of Self will being a new sense of meaning back to urban communities, in a way no book has done before.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

About Dr. Supreme Understanding Supreme Understanding is a community activist, educator, and researcher dedicated to the cultural, socio-economic and psychological struggles of oppressed people. As a teenager, he became involved with the Nation of Gods and Earths, which helped transform him then a juvenile delinquent who had recently been expelled from high school into a world class scholar and youth worker. Supremes experience with the NGE taught him a deep-rooted appreciation for Original people (Black and brown people, or indigenous people, throughout the world), a love of ancient history, and a strong interest in scientific thinking. Supreme received his bachelors degree in world history from Morehouse College, followed by a masters degree in urban education from Georgia State University. At 26, he received his doctorate in education from Argosy University, where he focused his research on the benefits of non-formal education with at-risk youth and disadvantaged populations. His dissertation was a study of education methods used by the Nation of Gods and Earths. Supreme Understandings research has brought him to Ghana, Mexico, India, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Thailand, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, England, the Caribbean, and dozens of cities throughout the United States. The authors travels have provided him in-depth opportunities to learn about the history struggles of oppressed people throughout the world, and their similarities with the struggles of people of color in the U.S. Through Supreme Design Publishing, the publishing company he founded in 2008, Supreme reaches urban audiences with nonfiction literature focused on teaching practical, research-based solutions to community problems. Although praxis forms the crux of his work, Supremes most recent contributions to the field have focused on promoting themes of critical thinking, scientific inquiry, self-knowledge, historical awareness, and being able to draw lessons from the past (and from under the microscope) to produce solutions that work for us today. Through collaboration with visionary CBS Alife Allah, The Science of Self series represents the culmination of this work. It represents the completion of a project that has taken over a decade to finish.

About CBS ALife Allah CBS ALife Allah is the son of a minister and a teacher. Both instilled within him a drive to experience his environment and to imbue it with meaning. The academic bar was always set high in his household and he met the challenge becoming accepted to several academic programs and camps in his youth. One of those programs was a summer program at the Yale Peabody Museum which enhanced his already deep love of science. During high school, he worked at a Waldenbooks bookstore, which started an almost lifelong relationship with books and knowledge. While attending Wesleyan college, he worked in the library, where he would hide in the stacks consuming volumes of books. While working as the Special Orders Supervisor for Barnes and Nobles, he would spend almost more than he earned on crates of books. As a resident of New Haven, Connecticut, he has found his way into every library at Yale University, where he sets up camp, reads, and takes notes until closing time. CBS has traveled abroad to England, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. His forays into Africa allowed him to see indigenous problem-solving methodologies applied to pressing issues. It was in many of these observations that he noticed that the adoption and/or forcing of Western views on science and technology exacerbated the problems at hand. He also noticed that there wasnt a full appreciation for indigenous science. When he returned to the states, he realized that the lack of scientific awareness in the Original community had much to do with the veiling of the indigenous roots of western science,

the veiling of the Original mans contributions to modern day science, and a lack of the connection between theory and application in addressing the issues of Original people. In high school, he was also introduced to the Nation of Gods and Earths (also known as the Five Percenters). The pro-scientific focus of this group further enhanced his views on science and its place in the Original community. In the early 90s he was one of the first Gods online through IRC chat. He eventually had a hand in every manifestation of the Gods and Earths online presence, from listservs, to chat groups, to NGE webpages, to having one of the first Nationcentric blogs (Sol Power Network at allahsfivepercent.blogspot.com). However, this nation building was never limited to online activity, as he has become a well known builder in his immediate area and within the Nation at large. He has been instrumental in promoting and ensuring that there is a science fair at every annual Educational and Scientific Show and Prove in Harlem. CBS ALife Allahs full platform is science literacy for Original people worldwide. Through this work, along with Supreme Understanding, he hopes to develop a template whereby Original people can regain their place at the center of scientific discourse and whereby research-based theory can become dynamically linked with communitycontrolled problem-solving initia-tives.
