How to Make Christmas Spiritual (Winter Solstice)

The question some people ask me is “Why do you want to Make Christmas Spiritual (Winter Solstice)?” It is because every year I receive comments and questions on the origin of Christmas and how it corresponds to the Winter Solstice. Most of these questions are usually from Fam who has left the Church and is now interested in the Kemetic spiritual paths. A lot of times, these individuals have children who are mesmerized by the glitter and lights celebrating Christmas. Although most of us know that the real reason for Christmas is not the bustle and hustle.  Many of us struggle with how to reweave our ancestral ways into this season.  In other words, many of us struggle with how to make Christmas spiritual, so that our children will partake in it when they get older.

I wrote last year How to Celebrate the Birth of Hru (Winter Solstice) and several other Winter Solstice post in the previous years.  But, this year, I wanted to write the How to Make Christmas Spiritual (Winter Solstice) post to give you more insight into the origin of Christmas.  The hope is that your Spirits will guide you so that you can make Christmas more spiritual for you and your loved ones.

What is Winter Solstice?

As most of you know, December 21st marks the beginning of Winter Solstice, which continues to the 24th of December.  

If you are not familiar with this period, astronomically during this time of the year, the days become shorter and the nights longer because the Sun has reached its lowest point. Thus giving an allusion that the Sun is standing still, hence the Latin name for this period, solstitium – “Still Sun”.

Immediately, after December 25th, the Sun begins to rise until it peaks in the summer months between June 21st to June 24th, which is called the Summer Solstice.

The Transformation to Legend & Myth

Now during the Winter Solstice, because many of our ancestors were agriculturalists, ancient astronomers, scientists and who observed nature like a hawk because they depended upon Nature or Netchar (Netjer/God) for their physical survival. They codified their scientific understanding into myth so that everyone recognized it as being a sacred event. The first civilization to implement this according to history was the Kemetic people who associated the rising Sun with their hero Hru (Heru, Horus).  

One thing that should be understood is that the Kemetic people never interpreted their legends and myths literally. They always understood that the gods and goddesses were symbols of aspects within their spirit. Therefore, when foreigners visited Kemet and saw the grand celebrations of the Sun’s return but were ignorant of the Kemetic culture, Kemetic science, and Kemetic spirituality. These individuals interpreted the rising Sun as a returning messiah and they took this misunderstanding back to their respective lands and reinterpreted the event per their cultural understanding. Before you knew it, the Babylonians, and Persians, all had a similar celebration that celebrated their messiah. When the Greeks finally conquered the Persians, they modified the solstice lore to celebrate their hero Iesous Christos. Then, when the Romans conquered the ancient world they renamed Iesous Christos to Jesus Christ and officially made his birthday December 25th.  

Back to Spiritual Observance

Now, for the longest time, I struggled with observing and practicing Winter Solstice, from Christmas because of all the cruelty committed by cultural Christians. That is those individuals who have claimed to be Christian by default who have perpetrated most of ill in the so-called name of god. I struggled because no matter how much I knew about the Kemetic origins and the Kemetic influence in Christianity. It was hard to separate the baby from the bathwater, sort-of-speak. It was even more difficult to do this for my child, but as I told you last year. I found a couple of ways to make Christmas spiritual.

Two suggestions that came to mind on how to make Christmas spiritual or rather return it back to a spiritual tradition is listed below:

 One of the recommendations is to decorate the Christmas tree as a Tree of Life (shown above). The star on the top of the tree symbolizes the top sphere is the Keter, or Osar (Osiris), and the other main ornaments represent the remaining spheres. The garlands and lights can be used to symbolize the Rau, while the other little ornaments can symbolize the spirits associated with those spheres. The bottom of the tree would symbolize the 10th Malkuth sphere or Geb, which is where you may want to place items or even petitions you want to physically manifest into your life.  

Another suggestion is to decorate the Christmas tree according to the chakras. Instead of the top star symbolizing Keter it can represent the Crown chakra. The bottom of the tree would symbolize the lowest chakra or root chakra mulhadra.

Please note that these are just a couple of ways you can make Christmas spiritual.  Regardless of what you choose, it is important to understand that this period is a time of sharing, and giving. But most importantly, it is a time for contemplating, and reflecting on what you want to manifest like the Sun.

Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness? Pt.1

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family.

Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness? Pt.1. Conscious used to mean “aware” of BS, but nowadays conscious people are more judgmental than anything. So, what happened? Well, I have said it before this Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness article, but the message fell on deaf ears, so I am repeating it again. 

Black Consciousness has been infiltrated and hijacked because people do not understand what consciousness means.  Everyone who claims to be conscious or woke is not conscious.  They wear all the things that will attract you such as the right hairstyle, say the right things, etc.  but they are missing a key element. 

Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?

This is why as soon as you let these so-called conscious people in the circle. You find out that they are agents like the woman in red (in the Matrix) waiting for you to slip.  (See Why I Don’t Trust “Woke” People). 

Were you paying attention to me or the woman in the red dress?  Look Again!

Today “conscious” people are the most judgmental people I have ever met.  They will rock their ankh medallion, their natural hair, and even tell you how powerful and cool their Afrikan name is.   But as soon as you open your mouth and say that you disagree with them. They not only want to war with you but do everything they can to destroy you in the so-called name of “consciousness”.  Does that sound familiar? Yeah, replace “consciousness” with “God” and we will see this familiar narrative. 

Consciousness wasn’t always like this.  I remember some years ago, I was one of the first to say that Obama did not represent our community because he does not identify himself with the Black or African American culture. I said who gives a damn that he can play ball and sing Al Green songs, this does not make you Black. I said that our community keeps getting played like a grand piano because we do not have a true understanding of what our culture is.  We have a weak interpretation of what blackness is and, the enemy knows this.   This is why politicians can come into our community and say that they are Black so long as they look black, can dance, eat certain foods, etc. All while passing policies that focus on imprisoning or killing us. 

Consciousness Back in the 1980s (l.r. top: Dr. John Herink Clarke, Dr. Yosef-Ben Jochannan “Doc Ben”, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Dr. Amos Wilson. bottom: Steve Cokely, Dr. Marimba Ani, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima)

Remember, I told you Family that when I came into this thing. It was during the crack cocaine era of the mid-1980s.  My best friend and I used to listen to the public radio station in Detroit, where this guy would play Dr. Clarke, Doc. Ben, Dr. Jeffries, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Steve Cokely, Marimba Ani, Amos Wilson, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, and a host of others’ lectures.   At the time, X-Clan was the biggest rap group because they brought an entirely new dimension to hip hop. I mean people were still into PE, BDP, PRT, Brand Nubians, and Gangstarr because they rapped about politics, social justice, and consciousness mostly from the Five Percent teachings.  But, X-Clan came in heavy with the Kemetic and Yoruba traditions sprinkled with other esoteric teachings like Freemasonry. I mean one of their iconic songs opens up with a mojuba (a Yoruba prayer sung in many Afro-Cuban and Afro-American Yoruba houses) to Ellegua who alongside Anubis is mentioned constantly throughout the album.

Professor James Small

One Sunday afternoon after listening to a lecture on the radio.  My boy G and I heard that Professor Smalls was going to be speaking, and that’s how we got into the conscious community. After that, I remember going to see Dr. Jeffries and several other lecturers after that.   

Now we both had a deep love for Detroit because we saw how crack ravaged our community ‘with the quickness’.   After all, we were the children born after the initial white flight era, so we saw the devastation that was left behind.  We both wanted to do something to change things, so we joined several study groups, but we quickly noticed something.  What we noticed was that within the “conscious” movement that there were four stagnant groups of conscious people:

The first group of conscious Fam I encountered consisted of older Brothers and Sisters who were revolutionaries from the 1960s and 1970s.  Many of these individuals were ex-Black Panthers or ex-members or affiliates of other groups like the Black Liberation Army.  The problem we found with these Fam was that they were right about a lot of things but they had no physical means of funding their movement. This serious issue is parodied in the comedy I’m Going to Get You Sucka, with Clarence William Thomas III. 

The Future to Occupy Wallstreet

The second group of conscious Fam I encountered was also from the 1960s and 1970s.  These were the folks you hear about who claimed to have walked with Martin L. King Jr. in Washington.  (Not to be disrespectful but so did thousands of others according to the pictures, ya know?) Many of these Fam members were teenagers or kids during the Civil Rights era, so they understood a lot about politics. As a result, they had a lot of contacts mainly because these were the lawyers who helped bail them out during the sit-ins. 

The problem with these Fam was that they were so incredibly disconnected from the youth, that it was unreal.  I mean any new idea brought to them was quickly dismissed with a side order of “You young whippersnappers don’t understand”. Some of this can be seen in Spike Lee’s Drop Squad. 

The third group of conscious Fam I encountered was sponsored by younger Brothers and Sisters.  Many of them grew up like us under the Hip Hop influence, so they were either Five Percenters or at least familiar with Clarence 13X’s teachings. But, many of these young heads were all about smoking weed and being self-sufficient through selling T-shirts.  For the record, I have nothing against making and selling T-shirts or any of these businesses, but we need businesses that also employ others. In fact, any mention to these young Brothers and Sisters about college, working with politicians, or working for corporate America was met with “You are sellout!”, or “You must be a Mason or part of the Boule”!  I mean these cats had no wisdom at all. They had little respect for elders and spirituality including traditional African beliefs was a joke.  I mean a lot of these cats were really stuck on that conspiracy bit.  I am not trying to offend, just telling it how I saw it. 

Anyway, the fourth group of conscious Fam consisted of a mix of both but they were all about spirituality and esoteric stuff. So depending upon who you talked to would determine how they respond.  I mean you might get the same response but it was with a dose of things will get better if you meditate. Yes, many of these individuals in my opinion had superimposed Christian values in their Kemetic way.  It wasn’t as bad as when Martin joined the cult and changed his name to Sunflower. 

Brutha Shaquille Sunflower

I ended up joining the latter conscious group – the spiritually conscious group, which became the basis of my story (whew!). But, the thing was that all these groups had the same problem. All of these groups alleged to be “conscious” but they were not. They were simply INFORMED.

“Conscious” means you are aware so that when BS comes knocking on your door, you send it away but none of these groups were “Conscious”. All of these groups were riddled and covered with BS because they didn’t understand one thing. Slavery affected everybody on various levels, which means no matter how “Conscious” you claim to be. You still are affected by it subconsciously.

I didn’t tell you but the reason I joined the spiritually conscious group years ago was that there were various parts about the Story of Osar that really resonated with me.  In regards to being conscious, it was the understanding that Hru’s eye had been gouged out by Set. This is an allusion referring to the fact that the reason conscious folks cannot advance is that we have all been tainted with Set’s poison (of slavery, colorism, social conditioning, religious bs, socialism, capitalism, you name it).

Another allusion regarding Hru’s eye being gouged out is the idea of holism. If these groups all worked together, there is no telling what they could have accomplished but they didn’t for the same reason.

What people need to understand is that Hru is the hero/heroine and the symbol of consciousness in the Kemetic tradition because after failing to defeat Set.  He realizes he needs the wisdom of his/her father’s vizier, Djahuti (Tehuti, Thoth).  

Now, do not err as I did in assuming that Djahuti means older people or priesthood, because that is how I got duped into following people who allege to be priests (You can read about it and how I escaped that cult mentality in the Maa Aankh).  But, Djahuti refers to the Spirit of Wisdom, which is safer and easier accessed through divination oracles.

I made the pitch about using an oracle for divination a while ago because it is the only objective tool that we possess and cannot be swayed by Set. I explained how there are numerous types of oracles in the Maa.   I explained what oracles are from a mathematical probability perspective to eliminate the spookiness about them.  I even spoke about how in other cultures, oracles are widely used but in the West, they attempt to demonize them by alleging that they are fortune-telling devices. (See Why You Should Be Using An Oracle).

Black Lives Matter Coloring Book

Family,  the point is that if we used oracles, we would have been “conscious” of the various agents of Set like groups like BLM and their George Soros agenda.  See Dr. Frances Cress Welsing ‘s lecture on the Emasculation of Black Males.  

Again, if an oracle was used we could have detected that John “Grandmaster Jay” Johnson of the NFAC (Not F*cking Around Coalition) was an either agent for Trump or a Spook sitting by the Door. 

John “Grandmaster Jay” Johnson of NFAC exposed as a Trump agent

Family.  So Who Infiltrated Black Consciousness? Well, we know that the FBI created and used COINTELPRO against our leaders, so why is it so hard to believe that they or some other entity is not doing the same thing now? 

As Talib Kweli said, “You a fool if you don’t think the govt hasn’t already tapped your line”.  So, what better time to use an oracle than now.  

We have entered the critical point and we cannot continue to rely on our wits and what we think. To do so will be very costly and detrimental to our objective. Get you an oracle and learn how to use it, so that we can defeat this enemy together.

The Kemetic Understanding of Curses

This is how most people think curses are placed.

This is how most people think curses are placed.

They would be surprised to know how most curses are really placed. So, in the Kemetic Understanding of How Curses, I will explain what the most common curses are so that you will know if you have been cursed and what to do about it. 

First, there are two types of curses, and the most prevalent one is called self-hexing. Now, as I have mentioned in my books, I was raised in an Apostolic Pentecostal home, which was a blend of sanctified, holiness, and pentecostal churches. Yep, my parents’ church did and their denomination did it all, speaking-in-tongues, shouting or the Holy Ghost dance (Check out Lesson 8:What is the Holy Ghost “Kemeticly” Speaking), and faith healing. We did everything except danced around with snakes!

Basically, what it means is that I was raised “Jesus only”, so everything was given to Jesus because everything else was of the devil.

It’s the Devil

Actually, my parents weren’t that bad but, we could not drink alcohol, smoke, gamble, and play card games, which were considered gateways to the devil.  In some churches the parishioners couldn’t listen to secular music, watch television, and had to dress very modestly.   Thankfully my parents weren’t that bad but my grandparents’ church was.   

Every time there was a problem, I was instructed to pray to Jesus.

Anyway, whenever you had a problem you prayed to Jesus. Whenever you had any concerns or worries, you took (prayed) to Jesus, and Jesus delivered so long as you obey his commandments. I was never sure what those commandments were because they always seem to vary from church to church.  But that is what it was like being raised in an Apostolic Pentecostal Christian home.

This meant that things like luck, good luck, bad luck, curses, etc. was not talked about in our household. It wasn’t that it wasn’t believed that they didn’t exist. It was that curses, hexes, etc. did not stand a chance against the “blood of Jesus” (Hayshaka aqua psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop…that was me speaking-in-tongues with a little P-Funk. Smile).

Me Getting the Holy Ghost

Well, like I said. The “blood of Jesus”, which was blessed olive oil or blessed water, protected you from all sorts of spiritual maladies, as long as you followed Jesus’ commandment.  So, when I lost my faith in God and left the church, I lost my protection and was eventually cursed. After several herbal baths, the curses were removed, which I will discuss in a later post, but that whole thing got me wondering how do curses work and how are they removed.

What I learned was that our mind is composed of three parts which are like grocery store workers.
The conscious or Ab soul is the decision store manager, the subconscious or sahu (our lower self or personal spirit) is the store stocker, and the Superconscious of Ba (our Higher Self and all of the Infinite Spirits in the collective) is like the producer.

Now, I am not going to bore you with all of the details about these three parts. You can read about them here, but know that our subconscious is very impressionable for the early part of our life. By impressionable, I mean really logical and gullible. Don’t get me wrong, it is a remarkable faculty. It is responsible for maintaining all of the bodily functions that we don’t even think about like digestion, exchanging oxygen throughout the body, etc. One of its most important functions is the storing of memories – both the good and the bad. The issue is that because the subconscious is the seat of our emotions.  It categorizes everything based upon how we feel, like a child who does not like to eat vegetables.

The subconscious like children does not know what is best for them.

Notice children don’t think “This is good for me, so I will eat it”. Children say, “It tastes yucky” and will not eat it no matter how good they are for them. Well, our subconscious does this for everything, which is why it is called the lower mind and the Kemetic sages called it Set.

Anyway, if a belief is accepted by our subconscious. The Superconscious part of the mind interprets that belief as truth and produces it in our life. This is the reason you have to consciously surround yourself with positive and uplifting images that remind you of your Godliness.   If not, your subconscious will easily be swayed and will have you chasing yourself, and your Superconscious will manifest that reality.  (See Why I Said F*** the Universe to Manifest My Reality). 

If You Don’t Discipline Your Spirit/subconscious, your Spirit/subconscious will have you chasing nothing.

So most curses lead to self-hexing, which works on the understanding that our subconscious is very impressionable. If you make a strong enough impression, the subconscious of any individual will be affected. In other words, all it takes is for a disturbing image or message to be transferred and the curse will kick in.  Then the curse is fed through our fear.   If you understand this concept, then you will understand that we are constantly bombarded with disturbing images, which the subconscious simply stores based upon how we feel. For the record, one of the purposes of spiritual development is to strengthen the conscious mind, so that our subconscious is not so easily swayed.

Now, I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, “How did I get this curse?” Remember that I said that the subconscious is very impressionable? Well, you could have picked up the curse from anywhere. All it takes is an image, word, a song, whatever to get into your subconscious and your fear will feed it.

Me in the doctor’s office.

For instance, every time I go to the doctor for a checkup and see all of those images posted on the wall of this illness, that side effect, etc. I am being cursed into self-hexing myself. I eventually had to start wearing charms to guard against this energy because if you don’t remind your subconscious of your Godliness. You will find yourself dwelling on various images and your Superconscious will make it a reality.

How Do You Rid Yourself of a Curse?

Well, the church folk had it partially right. You do have to give it to Jesus, which is what we know is nothing more than your Superconscious, but remember the Superconscious only produces what is believed. So, you have to replace the disturbing energy with another. In other words, impress a more pleasant and satisfying image/energy on to your subconscious.

This is not an intellectual feat, meaning you cannot intellectualize out of it. It is all about how you feel. For instance, water baptism removes all sorts of maladies because the subconscious knows that water is used for cleaning and removing filth. Herbal baths work the same way. The key is to make a strong impression on the subconscious to convince this part of you that you are blessed, healthy, prosperous, abundant, protected, etc., which is called changing your aura or auric body. If you were thinking does water baptism work this same way, you were right.  Water baptism changes your aura but Christians will not tell you this b/c then they would have to admit that they practice magick.

Christians be like “Yes, we practice magick but let’s let that be our secret”.

Ok, that’s the psychological babble. Spiritually speaking when you impress an idea upon your subconscious you are impressing it upon your spirit.  Once this is done, the Spirits are able to take instruction and manifest your request. 

Spirits manifesting your desire once you discipline your spirit/subconscious.

BTW. The other curse which is actual hexing rarely occurs.  This is because it requires a tremendous amount of time, energy, and money to perform, which most people simply do not have. So unless the individual who is hexing you is wealthy, you really have no need to worry about this type of cursing.

Curses are all about how you feel. Not about what you think, so don’t get it twisted. Failure to understand this is how a lot of people end up being cursed. 

Refusing to understand it is not what you think but how you feel that activates curses.

So, if you “feel” like things are off. They probably are so take a bath, clean your house, refresh your altar, etc. to make things feel blessed, healthy, prosperous, protected, abundant, etc.  Erecting an altar to your ancestor and spirit guides is also a great way of impressing this message to your subconscious/spirit.

Cube’s CWBA Exposes the BAD Spades Hand

This is one of the worst hands to have in the game of spades because there are no SPADES, to win any books. Thus, a perfect analogy of how Ice Cube’s CWBA exposed the alleged allies and leaders within the Black community. 

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family. 

Bad Spades Hand

Those of you who played the game Spades know that one of the worse hands to have is the hand because without any spades you cannot win.  Well, this is a perfect analogy of what Ice Cube’s Contract With Black America or Cube’s CWBA  did. It exposed all of the so-call leaders who allege to be down for us. 

But, before explaining what I mean, my boy CultureFreedom89 was reminding me that Eva Longoria raised $50M for Obama’s campaign, and later when Obama was in office he began talking about naturalizing immigrants from Mexico who came over “illegally”? I don’t say this to hate on Longoria or the Hispanic/Latino community. My point is that she donated a large amount of money to Obama and he took care of those people who lined his pockets.

By the way, Obama did the same thing for the LGBTQ community as well, but why didn’t he do the same thing for his own people? Why is it that the only thing that people can say about Obama is that “We can tell our kids that being the president is possible”? 

Well, because we are not his people. He told you that all Americans are his people, which was code for whoever gives him “money” he is down with (BTW, this is the same thing that Biden is saying). 

Why did we expect Obama to do so much? Why do we expect any politician to do for us?  Because we are the only group of people in this country who doesn’t understand that politics is about business and not symbolism.  

Maa Aankh with Utchat

In other words, metaphysically speaking we only see the top half of the Maa Aankh, which is only physical things (the illusion) with our solar eye at the Ra moment.

When we only see life from the Right Eye we only see what is physically in front of us. When we only see with our Left Eye we see spiritual matters. When both eyes are united The Eyes of Ra provide a Holistic Perspective, thus allowing us to see everything and make strategic decisions.

We do not see behind the veil with our lunar eye at the Amun Ra moment, so we do not have a holistic perspective.  

For instance, we assume that because Obama was a brown-skinned man, who could play basketball in the white house, eat Five Guys, walk like a pimp, and sing an Al Green song (all symbols), that he would take care of Black People. Since 1964, we have been throwing our support behind people who never offer us anything tangible but symbols. 

Family. Let’s get real. 

Have you ever noticed that politicians only go to church, visit our community, and visit HBCUs during election time? If you noticed this it is because politicians know something that many of us refuse to acknowledge and accept, which is that we have no capital. We do not own a large number of businesses. We do not have strong political support. We do not have judicial or legal support. We do not have a strong devoted group of bipartisan leaders. We don’t even have a strong support for one another. We refuse to see ourselves as a nation within a nation with a common background and history despite our political and religious differences.  Therefore, we do not have a plan, and everyone else does not have a progressive plan for our community either. We have one thing and that is the symbol of HOPE. We HOPE that they (both political parties) will do right by us.  So, every politician knows to play against our bad spades hand of HOPE. They got all of the Aces, the Kings, the top Spades to trump any card, and both Jokers (the Wilds). 

In other words, our card hand is all based on sympathetic symbolism but no matter how we play that bad card hand. We ain’t going to win. We’ll be lucky to make one book with that hand. Most likely our opponent is about to run a Big 13 (take all the books) because most likely our partner can’t even play that right. 

In other words, while we’re playing with sympathy and HOPE. Our opponent is taking full advantage of us because we are vulnerable,  easy to be exploited, degraded, and can be oppressed by anyone who is in this country and everyone who comes to this country.

Politically, we are like the last kid picked in dodgeball who does not understand why they are the last ones picked in dodgeball. 

We are the only ones expecting people to do right by us. We are the only ones believing that politics is about doing the right thing. 

Big Upz to Crank Lucas

As a result, we are the only ones expecting others to do the right thing, because that is what we would do.  So the reason we keep getting F***** over is because we keep letting Oset (Aset, Isis) decide what to do with Set instead of facing him ourself. 

In the Story of Osar, after Hru defeated Set on the battlefield. He dragged his defeated uncle, Set to his mother Oset and asked her to pass judgment on Set because of his crimes.  Mind you, Set murdered Oset’s husband, robbed and pillaged, and has been trying to kill her, her son and all affiliates. 

Oset, following the guidance of Djahuti (Thoth), refused to kill Set on the basis that he was family (which is correct but inappropriate at this time), and then let Set go free. So, Hru in disgust was like “WTF?” and cut Oset’s head off.  Fortunately, Oset is a spirit so her head was miraculously replaced by the head of a cow to remind Hru that Oset was not the king (leader), he was. Meaning Cows follow, Bulls Lead. In other words, we keep letting our mother fight our battles instead of MANNING UP to fight our own!

This is not the time to see our enemies as children of God and sing Kumbaya. Every time we get into a fight with our enemies, we want to hold hands, be patient, be understanding, and appeal to them from a higher (begging) position. We don’t even treat each other like this but when it comes to opposition we are quick to be forgiving and try to convince them that our lives matter.  

Now, enters Ice Cube.  All people talked about was how Ice Cube allegedly “sold out” because he sat down and talked to Trump.   Are you FRIGGIN” Kidding ME. I mean, the rapper of Amerikkka’s Most Wanted, who has helped a number of actors get their careers started. Who has his own league, and has been building for his community. He’s a sellout? Family people don’t know what a sellout is because don’t know what it means to be a leader, hero or a HRU. 

I mean people are mad at Cube for sitting down with Trump to discuss the Platinum Plan.  

But, not mad that Black leaders or politicians didn’t come up with a similar contract since black people were “given” the right to vote in elections. An entertainer had to do it because he was fed up with both parties?

People were not mad that there were not a lot of leaders or politicians who even backed or supported Cube for his ingenuity and efforts (as far as I know) in even creating a CWBA?

I mean people didn’t even raise an eyebrow that after Cube presented the CWBA and the democratic nominee Biden told Cube he will not talk to him until after Black people help get him into office.  Not only that, in an effort to get young black peoples’ votes, the Biden campaign hired battle rappers Charlie Clips and DNA to talk about voting and not policy. How insulting. I guess he can’t sing any Al Green songs or play basketball! I mean, what’s next fried chicken, a gospel choir act, another kente cloth display or some other stereotype? 

No! People are mad because he sat down face-to-face with Set. (No I am not saying that Trump is Set but his energy is Setian. Focus). 

What Cube did was a typical HRU (Horus) move, which is SOMETHING! 

“When I got bus to school. Homies called me a sellout. When I started rapping in 1983. Bangers called me a sellout. When I left NWA. They called me a sellout. When I start doing movies. Rappers called me a sellout. When I started my own league. The arena said it was a sellout.[image error]” – Ice Cube

On another note, the CWBA exposed the agents and all of those individuals who simply want us to be complacent, receive handouts, and continue to be dependent on the white supremacy plantation and work a job like P Diddy, Charlemagne, and others within the hip hop community.  Yet, no one said anything about these jokers selling out trying to get a job from Biden. 

This is the main reason, as my Brother Kushite Prince reminded me that Malcolm said that singers and actors should not be a representation or the voice for the black community.

I am not sure if this was Cube’s intention, but the CWBA was demanding for tangibles.

Please Cut Oset’s head off regarding politics, so we can deal with these issues like adults.  Understand. Hru was symbolized as a hawk because hawks have the ability to see from afar and therefore make informed strategic decisions, hence circumspection. With no plan. No SPADE cards, how do you play? The Race Card? Appeal to their sympathetic side again?  Get Oset out of politics and let Hru lead! 

Hru was symbolized as a hawk because hawks have the ability to see from afar and therefore make informed strategic decisions, hence circumspection.

Please understand that to metaphysically cut the head of a statue means to free the spirit that was residing or housed inside. And right now, many of us have been conditioned to let Oset take the lead. 

The Ballot or the Bullet Courtesy of: http://www.edchange.org/multicultural/speeches/malcolm_x_ballot.html

It simply saddens me to see that Hru’s energy is here and instead of us embracing it.  So many people are fighting against it because they want change but are afraid to fight for what they want. This means that the situation is only going to get worse until we decide to do something about it. 

We only have two options at this point:

Either we cut Oset’s head off in regards to politics so that we can circumspect like the Hrus we are, and read Malcolm’s The Ballot or the Bullet speech, or.Stop complaining to the Spirits about how bad things are, stop calling on Malcolm and his quotes, and keep waiting for our enemies to be sympathetic to our needs by marching.

Please understand that I am not telling you to vote or not to vote. I do support you voting for local elections because all of those propositions effect our community, but this whole campaign of get Trump out with no plan.  Just get Trump out and Biden in is stupid and reveals that the national presidential election is a farce.  We should have more than two choices. You can pick and choose what you want to eat at McDonalds, why not candidates?  BTW. HBCUs just got permanent federal funding as I write this, so is Cube’s strategy working or what?

Is Your Kemetic Path Too Spiritual?

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family.

Did you know that being too spiritual is just as bad as being too materialistic?  Both are considered to be imbalances or isfet.  Not only that, it is very easy to see the physical side of isfet (imbalance) but sometimes, it is a lot harder to see the spiritual side sometimes. 

There is a misconception that is spreading that Kemetic Spirituality is all about being peaceful and loving individuals who simply chant, meditate and say namaste.  

This misconception exist because in the Western hemisphere, there is a strong tendency to romanticize culture and society that is the opposite of western culture. The reason many of us engage in this behavior is because we know that western society and all of its logic, reasoning, selfish capitalistic practices, and excessive materialism, is truly sickening society racing towards its demise. I know that when I started learning about Kemetic Spirituality, I romanticized about Kemet a lot.

I loved reading about the Kemetic history and I could just imagine this agrarian society ruled by a relatively honorable monarchy and priesthood, surrounded by a sea of sand, but when I woke up from the dream. I realized that according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the reason the Kemetic people were able to progress was that they had the bottom three tiers locked up.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

In other words, all of the Kemetic peoples’ basic needs were addressed, so on a daily basis after they finished their work, etc. In general, they were able to sit back, look at the stars, and ponder the mysteries of the cosmos. When a potential threat arose on their borders, they rallied behind their rulers and eagerly went to war to defend their homeland. They were proud to be Kemetians and they knew that they were the envy of the ancient world because even the lowest member of their society was spiritually inclined. No. It wasn’t a perfect society but it was a spiritual inclined civilization. 

As I said, we do not live in that society. We live in a society from the beginning of its conception was founded on exploitation and greed. We live in a society that kidnapped our  African ancestors and forced them to live and work as a permanent underclass.  We live in a society that does not have any integrity nor does it believe in righting the wrong. Instead, we live in a society that only does what is right after being caught (if they are ever caught) or when the victims and survivors have decreased drastically in number. 

When there is a hint (not a threat) of foreign interruption to corporate interests, propaganda is generated and spread to rally those of us struggling with the first and second tiers to enlist and fight in unjust wars. 

The Kemetic people never experienced any of the hell that we are experiencing which is the reason the Kemetic religion of old could not be practiced in these contemporary times. This is the mistake that Osar made in dealing with Set.

It is the reason Hru was conceived and the reason Hru challenged Set for the throne.  So, if you’re having difficulties practicing the Kemetic religion, it may be because you’re too spiritual, which is also not Maa (Balance).

Although Maat is personification of Maa (Balance), it is Hru (Horus) who is the exemplifier of what it means to live in Maa, symbolized by the double white and red Pschent crown. You should strive to live a balanced and harmonious life but this is more difficult than it sounds sometimes.

The solution resides in understanding the white and red Pschent crown.

The white crown of KAMTA represents Osar (Higher Self and benevolent ancestral spirits and spirit guides), while the red crown of TASETT represents Set (the lower self).  In other words, Maa is about synthesis meaning there is no good or bad, spiritual or physical, etc. because they are each opposites sides of the same coin.  

What this means is that the way to live in balance is to trust your Higher Self.  When you learn how to communicate and listen to your Higher Crown, it will never lead you astray and will always reward you with the peace, purity, knowledge and whiteness of Osar.

The Platinum Plan?…. Don’t Believe the Hype!

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family

I apologize because normally I do not comment on political rhetoric but I could not pass this one by.  So, in case you haven’t heard, Donald Trump just promised the Black community that if we vote republican for the next four years. They will create 3, 000,000 new jobs, open 500,000 Black-owned business, increase capital by five billion dollars, and provide safer neighborhoods with the highest standard police (see the video below). 

Family. Do you know what this pandemic has shown me? That when the U.S. government gave stimulus checks out, they could have paid for reparations but chose not to. Now, with the “Platinum Plan” the same applies. (Sidebar: Do they think we’re all rappers or enamored with platinum? WTH?) If they are giving this out now, it means they could have done so a while ago. So why now are they offering this great new deal?

It is bait to make us more dependent upon this system instead of being self-sufficient.

But, esoterically they know that people are becoming more and more aware because dire straits make people change their thinking, and ultimately their vibrations. When people took to the streets and chanted “Black Lives Matter!” Ultimately, what this was implying was that they have control over your existence and that you are important too. In other words, “I am important too, so please treat me fairly” in an attempt to sympathize with them but more and more people were seeing through the illusion and not even caring.  That’s why people stop chanting “I Can’t Breathe!” (Don’t Be Stupid. Stop Saying I Can’t Breathe!).

As I have mentioned before, they never do anything unless it supports their devious and diabolical agenda. Now, be on the lookout because some Black celebrity with no political background or understanding is going to say, “the Platinum Plan is reparations.”  You see $500B divided by 36M people is $13,888.  But, if you are not familiar with this trick just study the Civil Rights Movement and you will see that they include every other minority group in this lump sum.  In the end, the African descendants of slavery in the United States will get the short end of the stick. Just like the Civil Rights Movement benefitted everyone except Black Americans, this platinum plan will do a similar thing, thus making it more like an aluminum foil plan.  In other words, it will not address the wealth gap or any of the other disparities that exist in this country. 

Family, we need to ask ourselves why they won’t give us reparations, which is wealth? Why not just give us what was promised and owed? Well, if we look at his-story we find that after the emancipation and proclamation was issued by the Republican president Abraham Lincoln, for our ancestors’ contribution to the Civil War. Lincoln promised African Descendants of Slaves in America 40 acres and the mule (reparation). Shortly after, the Democratic president Andrew Jackson who took office after Lincoln’s assignation overturned Lincoln’s policy. Thereby paving the way for the Black Codes and the horrendous Jim Crow era.

So, there you have it. The system is not broke. It was designed to keep a specific group in power while systemically locking another out.   Sidebar: For the record, I believe that voting in local elections is effective, but national ones are a sham.  

What Trump is offering is a paycheck but we should want wealth.  $500B is not wealth when you consider the fact that the average black family’s net worth was in 2016 $17,150. While the average white family’s net worth is ten times this number and is growing.  

In other words, the reason it seems like our communities have gone backward since the Civil Rights Movement is that we have not made any progress in the past 70 years.  This is the reason our communities continue to suffer.  Do you think $500B will fix this problem now? Hell, health insurance and health cost would eat up most of that money due to disparities in health care! 

We have to understand that  Trump is offering a “new deal” because the only way the system works is if we buy into it and presently, more and more people are opting out of it. Understand. When you opt-out of the system, you don’t have to play by their rules. You can make your own game.

I am not a political analyst nor an economist but I know a little history, and I understand how wealth grows.  

So, just give us our reparations so those of us wanting to repatriate to Africa or to some other region and rebuild or build our own Afro-Nation.

DON’T BE STUPID, STOP SAYING “I Can’t Breathe!”

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family.

I know it has been a minute since we last spoke and some of us need to ‘be shook’.  I AM GOD.  There has been a lot of stuff going on and it has been happening so fast, it is a little surreal.  Anyway, where have I been?  Well, contrary to popular belief and stereotypical public opinion, real men do real work.  So, I hope you are all on your grind for real.

I AM GOD!

Now, I was not going to blog about all of protesting going on because most of you know where I stand on this.  I have said it before, this enemy does not support anything that it cannot profit from. If you don’t know now, you should know that black lives matter does not represent US. Just like Obama did not represent US. I told you a while back that spirituality was important for this revolution because this thing was going to come down to a fight for our mind, and here it is.

So, if you are confused as to what you should be doing, what side you should be on, who’s right and who’s wrong, etc.? Then, you better start meditating and invest if your Spirit because all of these people who want to wallow around with Set’s pigs and snakes are about to be swept up. I AM GOD!

Family.  We are intuitive people who are descendants from an intuitive culture, which means our ancestors and other spirits will inform us when something ain’t right. We just feel it and can confirm it through divination, but when we occupy our time watching bull**** instead of doing altar work, meditating, tracking, and putting in the physical work to raise our loved one’s up.  We move from vibrating on a high level to a low level, and this is where the energy of this entire country is at. I AM GOD!

I will say it again. Blm does not represent US and the only reason these companies are putting money behind them is that there is something sinister at work. Anytime these politicians can school one another on what tie to wear to appeal to a specific demographic. Then we have to suspect that they knew that wearing a kente stole was going to come off as cheeky to the high thinkers. Those low thinkers would see Pelosi and them acting in their favor.

Again, ‘they” do not support anything we do unless it benefits them.

I am always reminded of some of my favorite Denzel’s films and how in all of the great roles he played.

He did not receive an Oscar for playing a great, positive, and uplifting role. However, he received an award for playing a devoted soldier who was flogged for leaving camp, despite the fact that flogging was banned when union infantry was formed, and. He receives an award for playing a stereotypical, crooked cop. So, all of these corporations throwing money behind the #blm is purely fictional. Proof for the naysayers, how is all of this money being sent to #blm being used to curtail police brutality? There is no real agenda, no real plan because it is all a rouse. I AM GOD!

Like I said, I wasn’t going to comment on any of this until I open my email and was hit with this foolish mantra in an advertisement, “* Can’t Breath!”

I AM GOD!

“Enough is enough. “I said.

Look, for all of you don’t have knowledge of self. When you say, “I fill in the blank“ repetitively. Your subconscious/lower spirit which cannot distinguish between what is fake and real classifies it all as a “real”  belief.  When this belief becomes a permanent fixture in your subconscious mind, your Superconscious makes it an actual reality.

Remember, saying “I can’t do math”, “I can’t find a job!” “I can’t find a good man/woman”?

So, what do you think will happens when you say that mantra? What makes matters worse, what happens when you repeat this mantra during a pandemic which attacks the respiratory system?

Don’t fall for the okey-doke Family. Keep your vibrations elevated. They are definitively banking on people not having any knowledge of self.

Yeah, you have heard that other mantra so much I had to disrupt the frequency.  If you want some real change, chant, “I AM GOD!”  In fact, every time you hear that other low energy mantra, you might want to tap your head (third eye) and say “I AM GOD!” to counter it.

Learn how to trust your intuition and stay away from low vibing things and people that are goading you to be emotional and reactionary, instead of intuitive and proactive.

What is the Holy Ghost “Kemeticly” Speaking?

This post appears originally as an article on thelandofkam.com

[image error]

You know when I lost my faith in God and traveled down that road to find God for myself.  One of the subjects that used to fascinate me the most was the concept and practice of speaking-in-tongues.   I was always taught that when people spoke in tongues that it was a sign that they had received the gift of the Holy Ghost, but when I lost my faith. I really wondered what was the Holy Ghost.

For the record, I spoke-in-tongues a couple of times. I received the gift of the holy ghost one night because I was seriously seeking divine protection in the streets. I remember the night I received the holy ghost I was told to chant the name of Jesus, Thank Jesus or Hallelujah numerous times. After repeating these terms for so long, I began to speak-in-tongues. (Stay with me because there is a reason I am sharing this.), but I was not like my friend Jay.

Jay was a preacher kid like me, but he was a few years older than me and a bit of a troublemaker. I only hung out with Jay when I was younger because he was funny and really an intimidating jerk that no one really messed with, which I would have preferred to side with rather than be on his receiving end.    One of the things that he would do that I thought was funny was making himself get the holy ghost and speak-in-tongues. But, like a lot of people I observed who would be struck by the holy spirit after James got the holy ghost, sand poke-in-tongues a little bit.  As soon as the holy spirit left him, he went right back to acting like a jerk.

Now, when I lost my faith, and shortly after I met my spirit guide.  I stopped associating with Jay and for good reason because everyone who had ties with him was imprisoned.

But, I always wondered how was Jay able to make himself speak-in-tongues and get the holy ghost. I also wondered why didn’t the holy ghost make Jay and other people act right? Another thing I wondered about was as the famed Luisah Teish had noted in her book Jambalaya, was why did the people who spoke-in-tongues have such a “heavily voweled” pronunciation like West African languages?

It took me a while to find this answer but I did after spending a little bit of time with individuals who practiced Espiritismo (Spiritism in the Caribbean).  As I have mentioned before, it was my spirit guide who advised me to start studying the Kemetic tradition, and upon doing so. I found that there were ten major archetype divinities that existed in the Kemetic tradition.  These major archetypes also corresponded to the ten spheres on the Kabbalah.

Later, I found that Spiritism was once a worldwide philosophy, founded by French educator Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail also known as Allan Kardec.  Spiritism or Spiritualism (as it is called in the United States).  The Spiritist movement rapidly spread throughout Europe and the Americas in the mid-19th and early 20th centuries because Kardec had documented and codified spiritual communication. Unlike the silly horror movies that show people table rapping with phantoms. Spiritism encouraged spirit communication for the elevation of humanity. So besides proving that spirits were real and that there was life after death, Spiritism introduced the concept of spiritual evolution through ethical and moral living for both the living and the spirit.

Consequently, Kardec wrote that there were ten types of spirits, which to me was very similar to the ten major Kemetic archetypes.  Kardec wrote several books and articles. In an 1858 article about spirits, which has been published in a book called the Spiritist Review – Journal of Psychological Studies, Kardec wrote that:

The spirits are not all equal nor in power, nor in knowledge or wisdom. As they are no more than human souls detached from their corporeal body, they present a variety even greater than that of people on Earth, because they come from all worlds and, among the globes. Earth is neither the most basic nor the most advanced. Thus, there are very superior spirits as there are very inferior ones; very good and bad; very wise and very ignorant; there are those of levity, malevolence, liars, astute, hypocrites, polished, sharp, jokers, etc.
We are incessantly surrounded by a cloud of spirits that occupy the space around us, despite the fact that we cannot see them, watching our acts, reading our thoughts, some to do us good, others to do us harm, whether good or bad spirits, accordingly.
From the physical and moral inferiority of our globe in the hierarchy of the worlds, the inferior spirits are more numerous here than the superior ones.
Among those spirits that surround us there are those that attach to us; that act more particularly over our thoughts, giving us advice, and whose influence we follow unnoticeably. Good for us if we hear the voice of good spirits only.
The inferior spirits only bond to those that listen to them, that give them access and to whom they connect. If successful on dominating someone, they identify with their own spirit, fascinating then, obsessing them, subjugating them, and leading then as one does to a child.
Obsession can never happen but by inferior spirits. The good spirits don’t produce any kind of coercion, combat the influence of the bad spirits, and stay away from when they are not listened to.
The degree of coercion and the nature of the effects it produces determines the difference between obsession, subjugation, and fascination.

Obsession is the almost permanent action of a strange spirit that leads the person to be solicited by an incessant need to act by this way or the other and to do this or that. Subjugation is a moral bond that paralyzes the free will of the one that suffers it, pushing the person to the most reckless attitudes, frequently most contrary to their own interest.

* Fascination is a kind of illusion produced by the direct action of a strange spirit or by his cunning thoughts. Such as illusion produces an alteration in the comprehension of moral things, leading to misjudgment and to mistake evil for good.
Human beings can always disengage from the oppression of the imperfect spirits by their will power, by the choice between good and bad. If the coercion achieved the point of paralyzing the will and if the fascination is such that it obliterates reason, then the will of a third person may replace it. [pg. 433-434]

Unfortunately, Spiritism did not spread in the United States as it had in Europe and other parts of the Americas. As a result, although Spiritism made a brief impact on American Christianity which can be seen in many Pentecostal influenced churches via speaking-in-tongues and mild possessions, such as ecstatic dances.  Which are all cultural practices that can be found outside of the church and throughout the Afro-Diaspora.   Due to the Protestant church’s bible-only belief, most within the church have not read Kardec’s writings and are unaware of the spirits they are communicating with.

What this means, which I go into great detail in Honoring the Ancestors the Kemetic Shaman Way, is that what most people are calling the holy ghost is actually ancestral spirits and spirit guides associated with one of the ten spirit types.  These ten spirits types according to the Kemetic belief are:

Osar
Djahuti
Sokar
Maat
Hru Aakhuti
Hru
Nebhet
Npu
Oset
Set.

It is important to understand that in Kemeticism, Ra is not the Sun but the life-force or Power of the Divine called chi in the Chinese tradition, prana in the Hindu tradition, and the Holy Ghost in Christianity. This Divine Energy that the Kemetic people called Ra or Rau has a high or pure frequency.  The highest or purest form of this Rau energy is Amun Ra, while the lowest/impurest or more adulterated frequency of the Ra energy is Ra Atum, hence the snake consuming its’ tail as Ouroboros or the Maa Aankh.

[image error]

The highest personification of the Amun Ra frequency is symbolized as Osar, while the lowest is symbolized as Osar’s envious brother Set.

[image error]

It is my strong belief that the reason the Holy Ghost has not to change a lot of people within the church is that they do not know how to access the higher frequencies and are afraid of the spirits out of spiritual ignorance.  As a result, most are following and listening to lower ancestral spirits that are associated with the 8 – 10 spirit types.

So, how do you communicate with higher spirits? You have to elevate your consciousness, which is symbolized as the heir Hru (Horus). This is the purpose of Kemetic spirituality and why spiritual development is so important.

Before I proceed, let me first say that this is not an attack on black churches or preachers. I am simply presenting this info. to illustrate that the reason our communities are not spiritually evolving is that we are not tapping into our ancestral traditions, but when we do. It provides a key to how to solve a lot of problems.

Now, one of the ways to communicate with our higher spirits is by raising your consciousness, which the old people used to do through fasting.  Fasting done correctly strengthens the spirit (Higher spirits) and weakens the flesh (lower spirits).  It used to be a time that before preachers preached, evangelists ministered, and elders engaged in any spiritual healing practice, they would fast, pray, meditate and strive to live a more spiritually pure life because this is how we used to practice spirituality in Africa.   This is how you resurrect the Kingdom of Osar.

Please note that the lower spirits are called as such because they are focused more materialistic and selfish.

Why Is the Het Aakhu (Ancestor Altar) So Important in Kemetic Spirituality

Het Aakhu (Boveda Espiritual/Ancestor & Spirit Guide Altar)

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family.

A thought-form is a mental and emotional energy that has taken a form and is believed to be floating around us. Whenever we experience a traumatic or emotional upheaval, or even when we engage in pessimistic thinking over a period of time. A thought-form is created and becomes our mental and emotional “baggage” of our past.

Osar (Osiris) is honored as the first Honorable Ancestor and therefore,

Lord of the Underworld (KAMTA).

Due to slavery, our people lost the rituals to create a positive thought-form about who and what they are because most of our rituals were regarded as superstition. Consequently, countless destructive thought-forms are running amuck and destroying peoples’ lives in our community because they do not have an uplifting and empowering thought-form about themselves. Many of us don’t recognize it but we function totally out of an inferiority complex due to the loss of this cultural theology. Today, most people who have suffered some form of trauma in their life have simply created a thought-form for him or herself based upon their egotistical limitations so that they will not be harmed. We never dealt with the affliction that was done to our soul, which eventually affects every area of our life. However, this can all be flipped through honoring your ancestors and spirit guides or aakhu.

The het aakhu called a boveda espiritual in the Afro-Caribbean Spiritist traditions is a unique altar that honors your ancestors and spirit guides, but it does something more.  It helps to create an empowering and uplifting thought-form for yourself because it is a reflection of you.

All of the photos of your ancestors and other icons on or around this altar are a reflection of you. You need to understand that everything you see on your ancestor altar is a symbolic representation of what exists in your soul.

The spiritual significance behind honoring your aakhu is that by performing outer ritualistic acts, an inner change will be created within yourself.

So the next time you sit or stand before your ancestor altar, don’t think of it as just being a sacred space with photos of your deceased loved ones.  Instead see it as being a tool of empowerment that reflects all of the qualities you possess such as courage, ingenuity, power, strength, and prosperity. This means that if the altar is a reflection of you, if your altar is empowering and uplifting, then you will tend to be empowering and uplifting. If your ancestors on the altar are prospering, then you will tend to prosper as well because the altar illustrates what you possess, and so on.

Remember, your ancestors are your first line of defense and your first line of good luck. So, make sure that you honor them on the regular.

How Do You Meet God From a Kemetic Perspective?

Hetepu (Peace & Blessings) Family.

If you read and study the Kemetic history, eventually you will come across the historical figure known in Kemetic history as Akhenaten, the heretic Kemetic king. Who is Akhenaten and why out of all of the Kemetic kings and queens, he is one of the most celebrated and talked about by western historians?

Well, Akhenaten was born Amenhetep IV, the younger son of Amenhotep III and Chief Queen Tiye.   Amenhetep IV’s older brother Thutmose was supposed to succeed his father but he died at a young age so, Amenhetep IV became the next ruler of Kemet in the 18th Dynasty when his father around 1336 BC.  

Akhenaten_and_Nefertiti_Bas_Relief. Courtesy of: https://www.thoughtco.com/akhenaten-4769554

Amenhetep IV is famous for a few reasons. First, he is the husband of the controversial queen Neferneferuaten better known as Nefertiti and second, the father of the boy king Tutankhaten. But, he is celebrated and paraded around by historians and theologians worldwide because he is recorded as being the first ruler to abandon his “polytheistic” religion and create a “monotheistic” religion known as the worship of Aten.  To publicly acknowledge his faith to Aten, Amenhetep IV changed his name to Akhenaten and made the Aten religion the state religion of Kemet.  After Akhenaten‘s 17 years of rule, the Kemetic priesthood restored the Amun Ra religion, and had Akhenaten‘s son, Tutankhaten succeeded him but signaling the return to the Amun Ra religion by changing his name to Tutankhamen.

Now, most archeologists, historians, and theologians will tell you that the reason the Kemetic people rejected Atenism and returned to the Amun Ra religion is that they were so accustomed to their polytheistic religion.  In fact, many scholars were so quick to ridicule the followers of Amun Ra in favor of Akhenaten‘s Aten religion that some scholars like the famed psychologist Sigmund Freud, have tried to link the Aten religion to the Abrahamic religion believing that Moses a former Atenist follower.

Interestingly, what most archeologists, historians, and theologians fail to mention is that during Akhenaten’s rule he destroyed temples that were dedicated to the Amun Ra religion.  Not only that, but Akhenaten was also the first ruler to profess his divinity by claiming that he was the Son of Aten and encouraging people to only worship him and Neferneferuaten Nefertiti. But, archeologists, historians, and theologians praise Akhenaten for some great achievement. To understand why the Kemetic priesthood quickly moved to get rid of Akhenaten and his Aten religion, we have to truly understand what is idol worshipping.  

Akhenaten, Nefertiti, & Their Three Daughters.
Courtesy of https://www.ancient.eu/image/11106/akhenaten-nefertiti–their-three-daughters/

Idol worshipping is defined as worshipping graven images, but what is a graven image? A graven image is defined as any carved object or any object that is used to represent God.  The term “Aten” is a Kemetic word for the “Sun,” which means that technically speaking Akhenaten forced the people of Kemet to worship a false god; first the Sun, and later him and his wife.

This means that the Kemetic priesthood recognized that the Aten religion was idol worshipping and one of the reasons they moved to get rid of it was because it is an egotistical creation that promotes nepotism and religious violence. In all so-called monotheistic religions, there is always someone or some group that is “chosen.”  In the case of Atenism, it was Akhenaten and Neferneferuaten Nefertiti.  In Judaism, it is the Children of Israel.  In Christianity (depending on who you talk to) it is the Jewish people, the 144,000, the Catholics, the Baptists, or only the C.O.G.I.C., etc. In Islam, the “chosen” people are the ones who chose to obey god, which is generally interpreted to mean only Muslims.

What happens to the ones, the people or the group that is not “chosen”?  Persecution, slavery, accused of being “witches”, every other atrocity that has been perpetrated in the so-called name of god by monotheistic religions.

Amun Ra symbolizes the peaceful state that we are supposed to be in.

The advantage of the Amun Ra view of God was that it never had religious skepticism, cynicism or religious violence due to religious schisms like the ones that exist in Judaism, Christianity and Islam because the Amun Ra religion was based upon the belief that the Supreme Being is One who becomes many.  This means we are all “chosen” because the Divine exists within us all. 

You see, in the Kemetic Story of Ra and Oset (Isis), Oset wanted to do the same things that Ra could do so and concluded that in order to be like Ra, she needed Ra’s real name.  So, she devised a plan where Ra would reveal his name by creating a poisonous serpent that would bite Ra when he passed by it.  As the Story goes, as planned Ra passed by the serpent and was bitten and tried to heal himself but was unable to do so. As a result, the dying Ra called everyone but no one knew how to heal him except Oset who appeared and told him that to heal him she needed his true name. Ra refused to share it with her but the agony was so great that he eventually conceded by passing his name to Oset in secret. (For a full version of the Story click here.)

The Story ends under the allusion that Ra never revealed to Oset his name.  However, the ending of the story is a metaphor referring to the metaphysical concept about Amun Ra, which means amun “the hidden” and ra “divine power.”  Thus indicating that the immortal power of God is within. 

Oset (Isis) and Hru (Horus)

It should be noted that this was how the Kemetic sages explained why we must suffer, experience hardship and how we got a soul. This ancient Kemetic story which was written thousands of years ago was adopted, modified and expressed in the Kabbalistic as Ra the primordial Light and Oset as the primordial Vessel who receives the Light, which indicates many Kabbalistic writers were simply trying to distance themselves from their Kemetic background.

Therefore according to Kemetic belief, human beings got a soul because Oset no longer wanted to receive unearned benefits from Ra. In other words, she wanted to become a God, like Ra, which means we have to work for everything that we want because if we do not earn what we want. We will not appreciate it.

Hru (Horus)

This was birthed into Hru (Horus), which means that the Divine is closer to us than what we think. We don’t have to be indoctrinated or initiated so that we meet the Divine. We do not need intermediaries like preachers to meet the Divine.  We are all chosne because we are all the Children of Hru born with an immortal soul that gives us freedom of will.  This means the Divine is within all of us.  Understand, every time we struggle to do what is right versus what is easy is when we meet the Divine.  Every time we have a problem it is an opportunity for us to go within and use our Divine Power to change reality.  So the reason the Kemetic priesthood restored the Amun Ra religion was to remind the people we meet the Divine every time we connect with our Higher Self or Osar (Osiris). We become like the Divine whenever we identify with our Higher Self.
