THOUSANDS OF YEARS
THOUSANDS OF YEARS
For thousand of years before the Bible, Torah, Koran, Buddha, or any other, the ancient "Ethiopian" and "Egyptian" priest-sages had already conceived of God; worshiped God; mythologized God; ritualized God; anthropomorphized God; known God's immanence in nature, in man, in life; in astronomy; in themselves.
They had invented reading, writing, paper, geometry, computing; they had built megalithic temples, obelisks, pyramids with exact mathematical precisions as attestations to God.
Until the black man of the earth, the genetic descendants of the Ethiopian and Egyptian ancestors , knows God's origins, expressions, as being his own ancestors' and by extension, in himself, he cannot but help to be lost and turned out from the respect of the world due to his ignorance of himself relative to God. For from God the foundation of all flows: the structure of, spirit of, content of, hope, future of, all.
