I pointed out in The Akan, Other Africans and the Sirius Star System (sections 5 and 7.4) that there are both avian (Pleiadian-Sirian) and reptilian (Sirian-Reptilian) influences in Akan DNA…

The scientific mindset encourages mind as a way to explore physicality, emotions, logic even spirituality. Mind is made supreme in western culture. This is a trap. Mind is only one…

I have written the work of the ages. For the first I have written the work of the ages. For the first time in over 2000 years, there is a true call for the achievements and for the culture of black people to be respected, given a real voice, and propagated into the future. These words are no exaggeration. They are truth. This work, in written form, titled "The Restoration of Black Civilization", shall be free for all, from now until the end of time 😃😃

Check out this new book, on the akan dot com.
In the world we live in today, stress abounds in d In the world we live in today, stress abounds in diverse forms for most adults and even for some children. There are demands on us, be it at work, at school, in our families, in our relationships and within our communities. The stress comes from our interactions with one another and on the demands placed on us. After we complete our interactions and meet the demands, stress can still stay with us for a while. If this happens and when it is not dealt with, the stress can fester in our bodies, getting stored in our muscle memory, which can even lead to disease as it brings about imbalances in the functions of our bodily systems.

Therefore, in order to effectively deal with stress, we need to restore balance within ourselves. We can do this by counteracting a mechanism that perpetuates stress. This is an in-built mechanism known as the "fight-or-flight" mechanism. It is an ancient neural network pathway in our systems that we've had since our cave days. It gets triggered when there's a perceived threat, and its effects are physical, even where the perceived threat may not pose physical danger to us. This ancient neural network pathway is known as the sympathetic nervous system. Its counterbalance is called the parasympathetic nervous system.

And so, to restore balance brought about by stress, we can do the opposite of stress, which is relaxation. Activating the parasympathetic nervous system brings about relaxation. Being able to enter into a state of relaxation reverses the effects of stress. Where the fight-or-flight response stimulates our sympathetic nervous systems to release hormones that quicken our breathing and heart rates, sending blood to our muscles, the opposite occurs when we stimulate our parasympathetic nervous system. In that case, it brings about a state of relaxation, that calms our breathing and heart rates and rather sends blood to places such as our abdomen/gut.

To relax, you can pick your own forms of activities that calm you down and that release tension. These could be baking, cooking, gardening, meditation, napping, painting, singing, taking leisurely walks, yoga and so on. Each individual would be different in  this regard.
I was recently interviewed by Mario Sarmiento on U I was recently interviewed by Mario Sarmiento on Uranian Streams, a YouTube channel. Mario is an old friend. This is an interview that goes into who I am, into some of my views on various spiritual concepts, into some of the work I have written in the past, and into the direction in which my written work will be going in future. It is my first ever online interview.

The interview covers diverse topics -

+ Discipline and effort required for spiritual growth
+ Use of psychedelics by some
+ African astrology
+ Credo Mutwa
+ Crystals and their use
+ Observer consciousness
+ An example of an actual meditation practice
+ Concepts of the Supreme Being
+ An experience merging with a celestial entity at the Monroe Institute
+ Shamanic Initiation
+ Familiar Spirits
+ Spiritual meaning of the term 'balance'
+ Victim-victimizer consciousness
+ ETs
+ Importance of the awakening process
+ My journey as a writer, and future works of mine to come

Kindly do share widely, and thank you in advance
In the mundane educational system, it is often cla In the mundane educational system, it is often claimed that individuals who practice or even dabble in indigenous spirituality are superstitious, or that their methods are not based on evidence. Far from it. In fact the practitioners or if you will, the technicians of traditional spirituality are anything but arbitrary. Rather, these "spiritual technicians" base their methods on keen observation, conducted over stretches of time, that result in discernible, repeatable or predictable patterns. In essence, these repeatable patterns serve as the principles that underlie their spiritual practices.

If we take as an example the entity Mami Wata (depicted in the 1st and 2nd photos of this post), for this entity, a being of the water element, it is known that it has certain observances which, when carried out, can bring the entity as a spirit (and it is said, sometimes, also a very physical presence) to the practitioner. The entity can arrive with what sounds like peals of thunder, that can shake the ground, and the buildings on it. Knowing its call mantra, performing its observances, and burning specific incense while speaking its call words can bring out this entity.

In this regard, we could term the spiritual technicians of certain forms of indigenous spirituality as practitioners of "spiritual science". After all, science consists primarily of observing phenomena, accurately discerning repeatable patterns, and codifying those patterns into conjectures, theories and laws, all based on evidence. A main difference between the methods of material and spiritual science, however, is what is considered or is admissible as "evidence".
Fashion in Africa and in the African Diaspora has Fashion in Africa and in the African Diaspora has been evolving in most interesting ways that blend Kemetic and indigenous African cultural influences with modern cultural influences. More and more, we find in Africa and elsewhere in the African Diaspora an eclectic mix of our African styles and symbols with those influences from Arab and European cultures. It is curious to wonder where things will go next with this evolution.
What is prayer? Is it something that is merely rel What is prayer? Is it something that is merely religious, or is there a spiritual dimension to it? Prayer is communing with nature, and with the divine. What nature and the divine have in common is spirit. Long before the powerful Abrahamic religions of Christianity and Islam took over many parts of the world, indigenous people prayed. They poured libation. They smoked the sacred pipe. They made offerings.
The metaphor of the iceberg with a small portion f The metaphor of the iceberg with a small portion floating above water and with a much larger portion submerged is appropriate for describing portions of our awareness and mind that we access consciously and portions that we do not access consciously. The conscious portion is the part we routinely access as we go about our daily lives while the subconscious (and even deeper, the unconscious) portions are not routinely accessed during normal waking consciousness.

Psychologists and esoteric adepts have both studied these hidden parts of our awareness and mind. It is interesting that what psychologists call the 'super ego' is what esoteric adepts call the 'Higher Self'. This part of ourselves can be accessed through subconscious channels. As such, the subconscious parts of our awareness and mind are important to know and to learn about, if one is interested in claiming and integrating more aspects of one's being.

The subconscious mind functions through the language of symbols. Symbols can have power as they represent energy relationships that the subconscious mind operates by. These energy relationships directly interface with manifest reality. For this reason, use of, and work with symbols through the subconscious mind can be very powerful.

For access to, and work with the subconscious mind from perspectives of both esoteric traditions and Western psychology, we can cite a few examples such as Jungian psychology, meditation, shamanic journeying and trance work, magical symbols, seals, sigils and talismans, dream work and dream symbols, all of which draw on the symbolic language of the subconscious mind.
After months of work, I have now completed and pub After months of work, I have now completed and published two books that together would quite easily be the most important written works I release in this incarnation. The first book, Awakening to your nature as a Spirit Being Incarnated on Earth, chronicles possible life journeys of any one of us on Earth. The second book, Spiritual Tools for Enlightenment – A how-to guide, is a practical guide that offers some insights into some tools that can be useful on the journey to greater awakening. The two books are written specifically for spiritually inclined people. More about these two books can be found on theakan dot com.

These two books are like yang and yin. One complements the other. As in the yin-yang symbol, within yang, there is yin and within yin, there is yang. Astrologically, these two books also represent a culmination of Jupiter and Saturn conjunct in the first house of my astrological chart. The book Awakening to your Nature as a Spirit Being Incarnated on Earth has a form reminiscent of Saturn and structure. The book Spiritual Tools for Awakening: A how-to guide, has a form reminiscent of Jupiter, and expansion. By completing and publishing these two books, I have brought to fruition an important part of the spiritual work I am doing in this lifetime.
Over half the current estimated population of the Over half the current estimated population of the world believes that hell exists. That is, 54% of the world, of whom about 33% are Christians, and about 21% are Muslims, on some level hold this view. Hell is a place where, in these religions, people go to suffer for their sins, and it is believed by many in these religions that the suffering and the punishment there is eternal.

Given the sizeable proportion of humans who hold this view, one could say that it is worth looking into this issue of hell in some detail. I think that religious persons of either Christian or Islamic persuasion (as examples), do not have many ways to explore this issue of hell beyond learning about it in doctrine and scripture and also holding on to the faith that such a place exists.

Those of a non-religious inclination, however, who choose to see themselves as spiritual rather than religious, may choose to develop psychic abilities that allow them to explore the question of the existence or non-existence of hell. They can do this through their own spiritual faculties, as well as by learning about the spiritual explorations of others.

Of the spiritual explorers I have come across who have looked into the issue of hell, it would appear that none of them have found a place of eternal damnation. Rather, there appear to indeed be places where spirits of low vibration end up after death. They congregate there, and they appear to suffer continuously. One place you may read more about this is in the book 'A Wanderer in Spirit Lands'.

Doctrine and faith in scripture can however be extremely powerful. What we hold to be true can manifest in our reality. The power of what we believe to be true is so great that these low vibrating beings who end up in the hellish dimensions of the the spirit worlds believe so strongly that they should suffer there, that it becomes their actual experience until they 'repent' and subsequently decide to experience something else.
