If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Semper aliquid novi Africam adferre | Greek Proverb
Always Something New Africa Brings
Unity Consciousness #64

Aristotle, a Greek who lived from 384-322 BCE, wrote "it has passed into a proverb that Libya is always producing something new." (1)(2)

This was a common Greek saying. This is of no surprise even when the brief history repeated on this blog is reviewed, it is clear, the origin of newness for the Human Family Tree emanates from the root – Africa. Please note that “Libya” was one of several names used by Africans to refer to the entirety of Africa per Ancestor Yosef ben-Jochannan.

Significance Of Proverbs

A proverb is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.

“Always something new Africa brings” was such a common truth of a practical and common sense nature obvious to humanity at that time, it became a Greek proverb.

Truth About The Truth

The truth is older and more powerful than America is as a country. The truth is older and more powerful than European colonization of information. The truth is older and more powerful than Europeans as a people. The truth is more powerful than Africa because the truth is more fundamental than even Africa. Those connected to that which is fundamental and foundational are equally as powerful. Nothing can stop the truth from flowing. It has always flowed throughout the non-human natural world. Only behind walls of human books has truth met resistance and been slowed. Humans have difficulty knowing the truth because we only look on levels where truth has been slowed – where truth is believed to be known but not known to be shown. We've been taught this limiting behavior via the false notion that humans are the epitome of creation and among humans, the European version of the African is the epitome, thus the expert. Never have so many lies been packed into so little.

Truth Of The Matter

Even in the one place truth has been hindered, it will find its way through. Truth is spirit in its highest form, books are matter, which is spirit in a lower form. Spirit is not confined by matter. Spirit defines matter. If truth can set you free, then truth can surely set itself free. The resistance against truth recorded in books and transferred into minds via education, is being dissolved, like paper in “a liquid,” like the thirst for truth on either side of thick books and like rivers behind concrete walls. Many man-made dams and mind-made damns are leaking and weakening. Those downstream of the flow of truth must take heed and seek the higher ground of higher self knowledge of self.

Greek Society Struggled With Truth In Many Ways

Despite acknowledging Africa as the source of newness, Greek society couldn't handle the truth in other ways. Some Greeks who had the true form of education from Africa, were punished, killed and made examples of for using and spreading this teaching. This created fear, which is a disincentive for healthy growth, thus evolution. As a result, the majority, now in a temporal mindset, changed the moral priority from willingness to die for the truth to simply “just let me live and live a lie.” Hapi-ness from the free flowing spirit of the river of truths within and without became substituted for here-and-now happiness which is being alive and successful at surviving at a slower rate of dying. Again, Greek culture formed the basis for present day callousness-towards-the-truth cultures.

Pythagoras, the oldest of the so-called Greek-thinkers was a student in Egypt [Kemet] for several years. He was exiled from Greece when he started to teach what he had learned. Socrates was persecuted for teaching “foreign ideas.” Plato was sold into slavery. Aristotle was also exiled. (3)

From this account of Pythagoras, I suspect it was later Europeans who falsely gave Pythagoras credit for the Pythagorean theorem which he obviously learned through his studies in Kemet since Imhotep used a2 + b2 = c2 (the run to rise ratio) in building the step pyramid hundreds of years before Pythagoras was born.

Aristotle Admired The Truth

Aristotle wrote: "At first he who invented any art whatever that went beyond the common perceptions of man was naturally admired by men, not only because there was something useful in the inventions, but because he was thought wise and superior to the rest. But as more arts were invented, and some were directed to the necessities of life, others to recreation, the inventors of the latter were naturally always regarded as wiser than the inventors of the former, because their branches of knowledge did not aim at utility. Hence when all such inventions were already established, the sciences which do not aim at giving pleasure or at the necessities of life were discovered, and first in the places where men first began to have leisure. This is why the mathematical arts were founded in Egypt[Kemet]; for there the priestly caste was allowed to be at leisure.” (4)

Truth Is Its Own Conclusion

The force of truth is building up pressure and is about to break loose upon the entirety. No one drowns in truth except those weighted down by lies and who refuse to remove and let go of them in order to rejuvenate and float naked in the naked truth.

Always Something New Africa Brings

by Usiku

That always something new Africa brings
Is like the dormant baby giant germinating
Again, again and again
That fresh smell is truth emanating
We, the Africans, shall ingest our fill
Eat seeds of truth daily, they are as pills
Those who will, will be healed
Those with senses sealed and who conceal
Will harvest that stored behind seals
Seven of them will be revealed
Search from here further still
Those of melanin chlorophylled
The pain of everything killed
Will engulf those who remain ill
Order will be restored and joy will build
When upheaval ceases and all is fulfilled


The Light Of Truth Is Despised Only By Those In Darkness Because It Is the Height Of Their Understanding And Because The Light Of Truth Exposes Their Ignorance, aka, The Uncoverable Nakedness Of Nonsense
