African Spirituality

The principles in the Kybalion, written by three anonymous initiates who dedicated it to Tehuti whom they refer to as Hermes Trismegistus, symbolizes our body.  Hermes/Tehuti represents the medulla oblongata.  The oblongata is the store house of our memory.  The bible talks about Jesus Christ being crucified on Mt. Golgotha.  Mt. Golgotha in Aramaic means "the skull."  The English transliteration states it means "Mt. Calvalry."  So our head is symbolic to a mountain and the back of our head is "Calvalry" which holds information for battle.  Galgotha in Aramaic also means the "back of the head, or the place of the skull."  It just so happens that the medulla oblongata is located in that area.  In Ti Chi Qigong, if you were to tap on that area in the back of your head, you would give yourself a photographic memory.  Too, this will allow you to access The Akashic Records which is your own personal storehouse library.  In Islam, Tehuti represents the angels on the left and right shoulder.  If you have not, try to notice the next time Muslims greet each other.  You will see that they exchange greetings to both left and right shoulders.  They are speaking to the aspects of the brain/mind.  I am talking about these religions to show how we have taken African Spirituality outside of ourselves.  When this happens it becomes just that, religion.  Even our Metaphysicians and Master Teachers have our people treating this information like a religion and worshipping these symbolic deities (i.e. Tehuti) instead of relating it back to bodies.  Anytime we look outside of ourselves for answers, it becomes a religious act.  This is not what our Ancient Ankcestors had in mind for us to do.  "As above so below, as within so without," is the Supreme axiom.  It is not by chance that the first principle of Universal Law states that "the all is mind, and everything in the universe is mental."  Therefore, the power of the mind is essential to master.  In fact, it is critical.  Everything is of mental substance first before it becomes tangible matter.  Elements are first drafted via the mind, which is the "magic wand," by which all things are brought into existence.  Let us go into the bible again.  In John 1:14, it states that "the Word was made flesh."  The Word is symbolic for sound.  How so?  Well, let us take a look at dark matter from greatest to least.  Remember the first principle?  The mind is the all from the Kybalion?  Well, thought originates in the mind.  Thought travels at 24 billion feet per second.  When thought matter slows down, it becomes light.  Light travels at 186,000 miles per second.  When light matter slows down, it becomes sound.  Sound travels at 1,086 feet per second making the "Word" flesh.  This is how carbon based people, a.k.a. dark matter, came into being.  At the point of sound manifesting into the flesh we no longer house both feminine and masculine thought.  This is how we were able to condense from the thought realm into a tangible female or male being.  The Quran states that Adam or Atom was made from sound black mud.  The Ancient Kemetic scripts states that we were formed in "Kanun or Amma."  Kanun/Amma is symbolic of the mitochondrial DNA.  In the West African Yoruba tradition, these concepts are called "Ori."  Within the Ori exists the Oludamare.  The Oludamare is equivalent to Tehuti.  Under the Oludamare are the 7 African powers called the Orishas known by the following names in proper order:  Eleggua, Ogun, Oshosi, Obatala, Oya/Oshun/Yemaya, Shango, Orunmila.  All these powers symbolizes Ori in their respective aspects.  Equally, the 7 endocrine gland systems known as the chakras, a.k.a. the 7 wheels of light/sound, symbolizes the "Elohim."  Within the Ancient Kemetic teaching it is Ausar (Osirus in Greek), who is half asleep in the pineal gland, waiting to be resurrected to ascend as in "the Father who art in heaven."  However, before this can happen, meditation must take place through various breathing exercises, and hand mantras to properly channel energy that would awaken the "Kundalini," the feminine energy that is also known as the "Serpentine Fire" which is an aspect of Auset (Isis in Greek).  As she ascends upward through the chakras, she becomes the Queen of Heaven again by tapping into the pituitary gland by beaming light on the pineal gland in order to awaken the sleeping Ausar.  In Ausar's resurrected state, he becomes Heru (Horus in Greek), which is the Christ or the "Awakened One" (Buddah) as termed in Hindu.  The mind activates the various endocrines, the chakras.  The opening of each one is the opening of each of the 7 seals mentioned in the book of Revelations.  The chakras correlate to the elements.  The 1st chakra is earth.  The 2nd chakra is water.  The 3rd chakra is fire.  The 4th chakra is air.  The 5th chakra is ether/sound.  The 6th chakra is light.  The 7th chakra is thought.  Know thyself.
