I wrote a
screenplay entitled, The Legend of
BlindMaster. The protagonist
is a superhero created out of the natural.
I forged this character
out of the confines of what the spirit of Elijah Muhammad revealed to
Malcolm X while he was sitting in his jail cell in a Massachusetts state
prison. In the How to Eat to Live books, volume 1 and 2, written by Elijah
Muhammad, are the complete dietary laws prescribed to members of the Nation of
Islam. These two books speak of foods
that are good biologically for human consumption, those foods that are
physiologically designed to build/destroy the body, and those foods that
destroy the soul and inhibit the brain power of a Muslim. Elijah Muhammad even gives scientific proof
of how the wrong and right foods affect us biologically and
physiologically. I created BlindMaster
or Mālik Muhammad as an
influential role model for young millennials who learn delinquent behavior from
“face-to-face interaction or by observing others in person or symbolically in
literature, films, television, music, and video games.” I wanted to keep his
powers within reach of human potential, inspiring viewers to strive for his
level of achievement. Jesus Christ came
to us representing the perfection of human potential, showing us that if we
lived by every word of God that we could become Christ-like or perfect examples
of human potential, just as Jesus.
BlindMaster’s powers are not the result of a serum, not accidental
exposure to a machine or experiment, not from an animal or insect bite, and he
is not from Asgard, Mars, or Krypton.
Blindmaster utilizes his inner ear, third eye, possesses the strength of
10 men, and has the Magical Saber of Light that enhances his natural abilites. BlindMaster’s powers can be attained by any
human being, but only if the right conditions are consistently present; tapping
into the conscious that we hear when we place a cup to our ear. In How
to Eat to Live, books 1 and 2, Master Fard Muhammad told the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad that if a Muslim ate one meal every 72 hours and no meat, that
one could hear an ant crawling on the ground, and manipulate the molecules of
the four different elements around them.
As a result of obeying these dietary laws, the following is evidence of
what is stated in the previous sentence.
A sufite Master named Bawa Muhayadeen was able to levitate himself one
to three feet off the ground. The “Tiger
Swami” or Soham Swami harnessed his energies into his fist, and was able to
render Tigers unconscious with one blow.
Wallace Fard Muhammad, aka, Master Fard Muhammad was able to manipulate
molecules and create images of men praying in glasses of water. And finally, Jesus performed a host of
miracles that are indicated in the New Testament of the Bible. On MSN’s website,
Robert Shmerling of the Harvard Health Publication wrote in an article
entitled, Healthy Living, “I’ve heard
psychics and fortune tellers use this 10 percent myth to explain their “powers”
to predict the future, read minds or bend spoons without touching them.” Further in that same paragraph it says, “…I
think this is just another of the many myths told as “facts everyone knows” to
attract a bigger audience.” In Robert A.
Baron and Micheal J. Kalsher’s Introduction
to Psychology, chapter 2, page 47-49 it states, “Computers can “crunch
numbers” at amazing speeds, but they cannot do many things we take for
granted: recognize thousands of
different faces, speak one and perhaps several languages fluently, add just the
right amount of salt or pepper to a dish we are cooking. [Neither] can they experience the emotions we
label “love,” “hate,” “sorrow,” those emotions BlindMaster needs to activate
and control what normal people call super powers. “So clearly the human brain is truly a
marvel.” I watched a video posted on USA TODAY’s website on Tuesday, July 29,
2014 at 1:55 pm, EST, entitled, Do we
really only use 10% of our brains?
“Most people have heard the myth, recently revived by the new movie, Lucy, played by Scarlett Johanssen that
we only use 10% of our brains, but is it true?
Buzz60 takes a look at the myths and the science in this video.” A brief synopsis of the main character in, The Legend of BlindMaster will help understand
the science, and dispel the myth.
BlindMaster was
born Mālik Muhammad in Los
Angeles, California in 1975. Blinded by
an explosion at the age of one, his father and International Minister to the
Nation of Islam, headed then by Elijah Muhammad, takes him to a Shaolin
monastery in the hills of China where he is taken under the guidance of a blind
monk named, Shadow Master Lin. Shadow
Master Lin teaches Mālik
to adjust to his new found sight. Mālik learns to read and
write the language of Chinese by some of the Monks, and Arabic and braille by
his father. He learns to recite the Qur’
an, Hadiths, and the Bible. He can
naturally see thermal images, is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and close
weapon combat, can naturally move with stealth, has vertical leaping ability comparable
to that of a cat, and he can control his weight and energy standing still or in
motion. He learns all this in the first
22 years of his life, then he goes to Cairo, Egypt where he is trained by Sufi
Master Yusuf Abdullah while attending the University of Al-Ahzar.
The magical saber of light is the
symbol for justice in Islam, but it is a fictional sword created by the stories
author. The mystical energy of the saber
only enhances BlindMaster’s natural agilities.
In addition, the mystical energy allows him to move vertically along on buildings, protects him from high
caliber weapons or explosions, high impacts, allows him to heal, manipulate the
molecules of the four elements around him, just like in M. Knight Shyamalan’s, The Last Air Bender (2010), and it
allows him to transmit instantly.
If you read the
screenplay, you will see how BlindMaster acquired his natural abilities. This story should educate you on “on the
spot” cultural facts that would not be normally known. Also, it should inspire you the viewer as a
Christian to be more Christ-like; if you are a Muslim, to be more upright and
one with Allah; if you are Buddhist, to better understand what the eight-fold
path is. Whatever your religion or path
to God is, this story will inspire you to become more enlightened in not just
the doctrine of your belief, but those universal aspects of it.
I like that.
