Follow The Universal Signs To Learning
Before something happens on Earth, there is a metaphor/parable already present elsewhere in the universe. Earth is downstream of the source and flow of energy in the galaxy. This delay of motion explains why it takes time for sunlight to reach Earth. This delay of motion also explains why, as the Universe moves and changes, Earthly events are affected on a motion/time delay. This delay is perceived as motion at higher dimensions and perceived as time at the lower dimensions of human consciousness. Following the universal signs above, below, within and without will allow the Initiate to move beyond the mystery of the missed story and read the story straight from any of the books. It will provide the Initiate with the keys needed to decipher, read and heed the signs of what is to come, what is going on right now and what has already came. Human to human transfer of information is only one way of learning. The other ways of knowing help the Initiate tap into more genius.The Initiate's Holistic View
Everything is interconnected. There is a fundamental connection between the living and the Dead, the visible and the invisible, the spiritual and the material, the human and the divine, humanity and the natural world, and so on. To understand or to know is to grasp the relations of interconnectedness of all things. Rather than separating himself from the object of study, the African communicates with that which he wishes to know. The African becomes tree with the tree, rock with the rock, water with water, and wind with the wind. The best way to know is to use a variety of tools or human faculties and a variety of methods. The pursuit of knowledge is inseparable from the pursuit of wisdom because, in an African understanding, a genuine knowledge necessarily involves wisdom. The unwise knower is referred to as a witch. The purpose of knowledge is to enhance human flourishing and preserve and promote all other forms of life in the universe. This is why initiation is fundamental. It is critical to train human character so people can handle knowledge for the benefit of humankind. The act of knowing is a process of becoming humane. Where knowledge leads to violence, oppression, and destruction, Africans speak of witchcraft (Butshi, buloji, kindoki), rather than knowledge wisdom (Bwino).” (1)Redefining Cocoons, Wombs & Tombs (1) Asante, Molefi Kete and Mazama, Ama Editors, "Encyclopedia Of African Religion," (2009) p. 245.
