“The members of the 5% view themselves (men of their Nation) as their own god (both individually and collectively as the Original Man).[2] Five Percenters sometimes refer to themselves as scientists, implying their search for knowledge and proof, and not beliefs in theories.[9]
The teachings of the 5% Nation are passed on through oral tradition, much like the griots of west Africa. The advancement of a Five Percenter is based on his or her memorization, recitation, comprehension, and practical application of the Supreme Mathematics and the Supreme Alphabet—lessons written by Clarence 13X—and also the 120 Lessons, sometimes referred to as degrees, a revised version of the Supreme Wisdom lessons of the NOI, originally written by Wallace Fard Muhammad and Elijah Muhammad.”
The emphasis on oral teaching and direct person-to-person transmission of knowledge (see also: apprentice system) is a major inspirational concept for me beneath the Omnivate LLC and Mandala OS paradigm. I also like the point raised over at the Twitter account, about a post-corporate entity having almost no perceiveable face/one that fluctuates and morphs across complex multidimensional fields of data, appearing as a man to men, as an animal to animals, and so on. Logos incarnated in the internet.

Yes. A new mask for god, or a new finger pointing at the moon.
