Energy
and Reality
“In
traditional Africa, the spirit reality is the
parent reality and the greater reality. The experience of the physical is a
lesser reflection of the experience which manifests first in the spirit. The
experience of the physical though meaningful, functions to facilitate the
development of the spirit. Intellect and emotion are conditions of the physical
reality and act in concert with the spirit to negotiate the physical reality
and further facilitate the development of the spirit.” The Sankofa Movement
ReAfrikanization & The Reality of War Kwame Agyei and AKua Nson Akoto page

Several
years ago I wrote about the ancient African Memphite Theology and how numerous
Europeans have glimpsed parts of the ancient wisdom but due they are unable to
fully comprehend, grasp or apply the full ramifications of this reality.
Western elites and their institutions function in opposition to the Memphite
Theology because they fail to grasp the reality (truth) that the universe is actually
ONE, a whole system of interconnected seemingly separate entities.
Today more and more Europeans are
becoming aware the universe is more than what we experience with our five
senses and more than what the value shaping institutions and media tell us it
is. “Modern Physics appears to be proving ancient mystical philosophy. In the
past 20 years studies that have tried to find the smallest particle or to
explore the outer limits of space have come up with answers which support the
ancient mystical philosophical view of the cosmos and the constitution of the
human being.
Science is discovering that the
universe is infinite in all directions both at the atomic (micro) level and the
planetary (macro) level. It is also finding that what we call ‘matter’ is 99.9%
empty space surrounded by an idea (information, thought) consciousness.
Contrary to popular belief, quantum physicists cannot explain what matter is or
what holds it together. The remaining .1% of mater which appears to be visible
is also theorized by quantum physics (modern physics) to be an optical illusion.”
The Hidden Properties of Matter The Mystical Teachings of Memphite Theology in
Ancient Egypt by Dr. Muata Abhaya Ashby Cruzian Mystic Books page 48.
The ancient African Memphite Theology
posits that all creation is an emanation and expression of the PRIMAL FIRST
CAUSE/MOST HIGH/CREATOR the Nile Valley Africans called Ptah. They postulated
that we are all energy/consciousness/spirit beings but our senses cannot
perceive this because the energy is so subtle and vibrates at rates our limited
senses and misdirected intellects cannot fathom.
The best way to understand and experience this
as our ancient ancestors told us was to “know thyself” because when we realize
who and what we are we can grasp reality on a fuller basis. We are spiritual
beings made not only in the image of the PRIME CUASE/CREATOR but of the same
substance spirit/energy/consciousness only to a lesser extent. Yeshua Ben
Joseph was correct when he said “The kingdom
of God is within you.”
The best way to know ourselves is
to go inward, inside ourselves. Unfortunately we are conditioned, taught and
tricked to be outer directed so we can be coerced, manipulated and controlled
by others. By going inward getting quiet and in tune with the inner
spirit/consciousness we can raise our consciousness and vibration to receive
insights and intuition from INFINITE INTELLIGENCE to solve our most pressing problems
and address our most vexing challenges as well as gain an inner calm and peace
that will help us become less fearful, anxious and stressed out.
Meditation is nothing spooky or strange; it is
merely refocusing our attention whether it is on your breathing, a word, or
listening and waiting for the still small voice to speak to you about whatever
you need. Learn to distinguish your
higher self from mind chatter, the words and images that run through your mind
like rush hour traffic. Learn to still your mind by practicing getting quiet
and being a non judgmental observer of your thoughts and images that wander
through. Learn to discern between the higher self’s wisdom and right guidance and
what we have been conditioned, indoctrinated and brainwashed to believe and trust
and follow its direction. We are all unique but made from the same
consciousness/energy and spirit. This consciousness is all knowing and will
speak to you in numerous ways that are different and unique. It may come in a
dream, an instant flash of insight, it may come through an inner urge or
prompting that feels right. We are all connected to and we all have access to
this INTELLIGENCE/SPIRIT/CONSCIOUSNESS because it is an integral part of us; we
just have to be open to the ways of FIRST CUASE/SPIRIT.
The Memphite Theology does not
portray the FIRST CUASE/SPIRIT/CONSCIOUSNESS as a human; in fact the Africans
called it the unseen mover and knew matter is nothing more than energy that
appears solid and either animate or inanimate. Aboriginal people were called
superstitious by Europeans because most Europeans do not fathom anything they
cannot see, hear, taste or smell, to them such ideas are nonsense meaning not
of the senses.
We are energetic beings our
thoughts are energy that move in waves that can be seen and recorded on
machines like an electroencephalogram or an MRI that show brain activity in
various shades and colors. Our thoughts are powerful and they are things! Once
we learn the implications of this reality, we can reorient and redirect our
mental energy to improve our lives and our reality. Even Western science now
admits our thoughts have a direct impact on your emotions and our emotions
impact our physiological activities and wellbeing.
This is what Yeshua ben Joseph
meant when he said, “repent the Kingdom
of God is at hand.” In
the New Testament the Greek word for repent is metanoia it means to
change your mind, change what you think about, change the way you think and
what you believe. We can change our reality but it takes work and courage to go
against the grain, to be a non-conformist and to try new things. Obviously what
I’m saying is not new. In his book Stolen
Legacy George G.M. James revealed the essence of Nile Valley Mystery
Schools teachings, “In the Egyptian
Mysteries the Neophyte was required to manifest the following soul attributes:
control of thought and control of action… steadfastness of purpose, identity
with spiritual life or higher ideals, evidence of having a mission in life and
evidence of a call to spiritual orders or the Priesthood in the Mysteries as
well as Freedom from resentment, confidence in the master as teacher and
confidence in one’s own ability to learn and readiness for initiation” Stolen
Legacy page 30.
This system worked for thousands of
years. It was the foundation of the African reality a reality that the world
still is in awe of and marvels! It can
work for us again today. We can employ it today. We can use our innate energy
to elevate our vibrations and consciousness to change our lives, our world and
our reality. If you try it and it doesn’t work you can always go back to what
you were doing before.

Observing the Winter Solstice
From The Ramparts
Junious Ricardo Stanton
Observing
the Winter Solstice
"At the December solstice, Earth is positioned in
its orbit so that the sun stays below the north pole horizon. As seen from
23-and-a-half degrees south of the equator, at the imaginary line encircling
the globe known as the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun shines directly overhead at
noon. This is as far south as the sun ever gets. All locations south of the
equator have day lengths greater than 12 hours at the December solstice.
Meanwhile, all locations north of the equator have day lengths less than 12 hours."
http://earthsky.org/?p=2951
Our ancient ancestors observed all of nature about
themselves; but especially the skies, noting the weather, the stars and the seeming
changes of the sun, which they saw as the most powerful object in the sky, the
provider of light and warmth. This December 21 at 10:28 Central Time in the
Northern Hemisphere we will experience the Winter
Solstice. This occurs due to the earth's axis tilt, as a result the days
will be shorter and the nights longer then after two days, the days will become
increasingly longer until we move into the Spring and Summer. During this
period you will see later dawns and early sunsets. Meanwhile in the Southern
Hemisphere the exact opposite is happening, the days are getting longer
Because of the influence of the Sun and the awe in which
ancient man held for the heavens, many tribes and cultures created
celebrations, festivals and rituals to mark the various phases of the Sun as
the earth traveled around it. They were keenly aware of the Equinoxes when the
solar energy and sunlight were the same for both hemispheres and many used
these events to establish calendars to mark the consistent changes they
observed in the heavens and here on earth. To be honest the ancients did not
worship the sun or moon per se, they observed them because for them these two
objects offered a sense of constancy, regularity and rhythm that helped them plan
and orient their daily lives.
Later
unscrupulous megalomaniacal leaders used this natural phenomenon to manipulate
the masses and created religious observations and festivals around the changes
they experienced and observed due to the earth's rotation and the positioning
of the sun (and the phases of the moon) but placed themselves in positions of
power and authority over the people. Ceremonies, myths and fables were created
that explained to some degree the solstice occurrence.
Much of what we
see around this time: the placing of lights around the houses, the looking
towards the heavens and myths about avatars and saviors being born around this
time, dying and resurrected are actually based upon the Winter and Spring solstices
and equinoxes.
The ancients had a saying "As above so below" the
principle or law of correspondence, the unity of all creation and they attempted
to order their societies and their lives in accordance to DEVINE ORDER and pay
attention to the various energies and forces they experienced in their lives. To
them the Sun was merely a symbol, an icon and a representation of the unseen
energy that permeated and sustained all creation.
Today too often we take a dim view of the ancients
because we do not understand their worldview, we are disconnected from what
they believed or experienced. Their narratives are told by invaders who disdained
the people and their culture or in the case of the more advanced cultures the
invaders encountered, they were in awe and envy of what the indigenous people
accomplished. The invaders either subsequently took undue credit for what the
indigenous people did (as in the case of Arab interlopers in Kemet) or they
suppressed the truth those people were Black.
One of the things we can do to acknowledge the solstice
and put some personal significance and
importance to it, is to do the research, see it with an open, unbiased mind, be
appreciative of what our ancient ancestors recognized and understood and take time
to give thanks for them.
I've heard people
recommend fasting and cleansing during the solstice, abstaining from eating for
a brief period of time twenty four hours or so. Physical fasting is very beneficial
for you but so is mental fasting. During a mental fast you abstain from ideas,
images, thoughts and the resulting feelings that are not positive or healthy. Think healthy thoughts, create images of peace
and empathy within yourself, envision yourself as healthy and prosperous,
strive to develop an inner serenity and spirit. Once you are successful doing
this during the solstice or equinoxes, you can do it randomly on a more regular
basis. Once you are able to do this consistently you will notice a positive
change in your life, maybe not in all your circumstances but in how you deal
with life, people and circumstances. Sometimes we need an external event to simulate
an internal transformation,the Winter Solstice is as good a time as any.

Disruptive Technology Part II

Disruptive Technologies Part II
"Disruptive
technologies hold within themselves the capacity to alter our lifestyle, what
we mean by work, business and the global economy." https://www.intelligenthq.com/technology/12-disruptive-technologies/
Last week I presented some ideas on disruptive technologies. There are two types of technology,
sustaining and disruptive. Sustaining technology are innovative developments
that improve upon already existing technology, services or products. Disruptive
technologies are defined as: one that displaces an established technology and
shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely
new industry. http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/disruptive-technology.
We live in an era of rapid change, innovation and
technology that have far reaching impact and effect on our daily lives and even
more so in the future. Last week I provided examples of disruptive technologies
from the CIA and DARPA but there are many technologies that impact our daily
lives we take for granted. Here are some disruptive technologies that are now
or will be integral parts of our lives: the Internet, cloud storage and
servers, 3D printing , DNA gene editing, virtual reality devices, magnetic
strip credit card, robotics, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, digital
implants, bots and apps.
Innovative technology is changing the workforce and the
workplace. More and more automation and robotic applications are being used and
this automation is displacing manual workers. " Disruptive
technologies, as well as disruptive innovations and business models, affect
previously established technologies and industries. Computers, smartphones and
the Internet—things that most of us use without thinking twice about—are some
of the biggest disruptive technologies we utilize every day. Computers quickly
replaced typewriters and, with the introduction of the Internet, have entirely
changed our society and culture. With the world of work changing rapidly, both
those seeking employment and those already employed need to remain aware of
advancements and changes coming to their industries. For those in the
workforce, this means being actively involved in your industry—by attending
workshops, watching webinars or joining relevant associations—to ensure you are
aware of upcoming changes. Jobs will evolve as technology changes, so it’s
important for employees to keep their skills up to date in order to
'future-proof' their jobs. Bev Stevens, a co-op and career educator with the
Gustavson School of Business, notes that some jobs will start to disappear with
the introduction of more technology and artificial intelligence; however, she
believes that many jobs will simply start to look very different, so employees
should educate themselves on new technologies before they affect their professions."
Day to Day Disruptions How Disruptive Technologies Are Affecting The Way We
Work https://onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca/gustavson/2016/07/21/disruptivetechnology/
Futurists
predict disruptive technology will alter the way we live, work and our immediate
environment in negative ways. In many cases disruptive innovation has created
fewer jobs than it replaced and is altering society in very harmful ways. In
fact in a recent article Sean Parker one of the executives of the social media
giant Facebook admitted they knew the negative consequences of the technology when
they were engineering it, but did it anyway! https://www.axios.com/sean-parker-unloads-on-facebook-2508036343.html
We need to
be aware of the downsides of innovative technology. Here are a few articles I think you should
read on this subject: http://roogirl.com/25-negative-effects-of-technology/,
http://myessaypoint.com/how-technology-effects-our-society, https://www.morganmckinley.ie/article/5-negative-impacts-technology-has-our-everyday-lives
and https://www.kibin.com/essay-examples/the-negative-impact-of-technological-innovation-on-the-job-market-and-society-jNOuytae
I'm not
trying to be a fuddy-duddy on this issue but we need to be clear on how
innovation is impacting us, especially in a society that has a consciousness of
exploitation, winner take all and considering our history in this vampire
capitalistic culture. As manual labor gives way to robotics and automation how
will this impact the working class?
Globalization has already had a deadly effect
on us and transformed much of the world. "The transition to a
post-industrial economy has been far from advantageous to a substantial share
of the population. Just because we have been innovating and growing
successfully for a quarter of a millennium by no means implies that the process
will, or should, continue indefinitely. No such economic law exists, and the
historical record indicates that there are times when economic regimes reach a
tipping point and abruptly change direction. That is what I believe is happening
now. At the very least, it is time to acknowledge the possibility." John
Komlos http://www.milkenreview.org/articles/disruptive-innovation-the-dark-side
Food for
thought.
