LOST AND FOUND AT LAST
I have long sought what we lost as Africans—if anything—to bring about our abasement, our enslavement, our being “scattered and peeled” to the four winds like dross which the winds have driven.
At age 68, October 20, 2019, I may have found part of it. The part that I found is set forth plainly, accurately in the Wikipedia article below that is entitled, “Ancient Egyptian Philosophy”.
Read it. Do not be at all spiritually deterred by its title. It is love’s sweet meat . It is the key to displaced African people’s long-sought liberation, restoration, reparations, redemption .
As the stars’ precessions cycle in-out in phases, in seasons, so man’s destiny undergoes precessions.
Whether 1250 years of mini/cycling or 26,000 years of grand cycles, our destinations, destinies, are linked both to heaven above, to earth below. Such ancient African philosophy reveals sacral science.
The key to that ancient African assiduity that was celebrated by Plato, Aristotle, Diodorus Siculus, Herodotus; that assiduity was embodied in Tertullian, Origen, Plotinus , Augustine ; that assiduity has produced, has adduced, conception/perceptions of knowledge , wisdom, “God”, as fact and as ideal; as one and as all; that ancient African assiduity perfected philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, navigation , engineering, letters, art, agriculture , architecture, in short, world civilization—which it shared; this assiduity is the link with our past, which is ever present, in us.
This link is whence came our faith, our adaptability, our creativity, our genius, our music, for the many seasons, “2000 seasons, “ of our divine oppression , earthly , riverine, precessions from divine favor on the Nile to divine disfavor on the Mississippi, Potomac, Missouri, Shenandoah and the rivers of which Lawrence, Kansas’ Langston Hughes poetically, presciently sang in “I’ve Known Rivers.” And in others.
But having done our penance, having suffered, having survived , thrived, been elected chief of the United States of America, we are ascending, “rising”, on our way to the top to the stars, to our destiny !
Don’t believe me! Never believe me! Read the truth for yourself. Share it!
