Important Philosophies & The Process Of ExaminationUnity Consciousness #243

.

Philosophies depended on most in life should be the philosophies most thoroughly examined and reexamined.

As said many times, our decisions are more than about our current life. This is an extremely narrow knowledge of self. Our decisions affect ancestors, descendants, family, community and so on. We absolutely know this to be true since most of what we either believe or know today is the result of the beliefs and knowledge of others. This is why each person must use a continuous process of examination and reexamination to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Relying Completely On Others For Understanding

For many of us, our spiritual, religious philosophy on a Higher Being is the most important philosophy we have. This is as it should be. Even so, we still don't research many of the teachings in our Holy Books. Fortunately, all things don't require in-depth study to realize what is what.

1. We all know preachers get to use other books. Many go to theology school or get some other training.

2. Why are we told to think for ourselves but when it comes to the most important things in life, we are told not to think and question, just accept what is written?

3. When preachers and teachers explain Bible verses, where are they getting these explanations? Is it from their understanding? Is it from some book of understandings they refer to? Either way, who's to say their understanding is more on point than ours?

4. Although we are told, you can't question Bibles, we allow preachers and teachers to go outside Holy Books to explain the Holy Book. For instance, they use concordances with all sorts of in-depth topical studies.

5. Also, when all else fails to explain, they call up the original word and its meaning to explain. If the original word has the best explanation, then, we should all learn the original language. The original word and meaning should be supplied for every sentence of each Bible, side-by-side.

Our One Human Family Existed Before Adam & EveUnity Consciousness #239

.

Because we came from one Creator who created this universe and created us all to live on one Earth and gave humans one origin of birth, all this means we are one family. All that is taking place in the universe is all about one family of creation. The human family is a family within the Earthly family within the universal family.

Clues To Being An Understanding Family Member

In the Judeo-Christian Bible, Cain and Seth (sons of Adam & Eve) find wives in another land. Obviously there were people on the planet before the Adam & Eve story. Plenty of very old skeletons have been found that are much older than Adam & Eve.

The Judeo-Christian Bible itself says people were in existence before Adam & Eve.

Genesis 6:2 - That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 4:16 & 17 - And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch.

More Skeletons

There are skeletons that prove humans have been on the planet for millions of years. The most recent version of humans have been on the planet for at least 200, 000 years. The Earth was not filled with plants, humans and other creatures according to the story of Adam & Eve in 6 days or 6,000 days.

“Ardi, short for Ardipithecus ramidus, is the newest fossil skeleton out of Africa to take its place in the gallery of human origins. At an age of 4.4 million years, it lived well before and was much more primitive than the famous 3.2-million-year-old Lucy, of the species Australopithecus afarensis.”

Genetic Evidence

“The babies' DNA seemed to form a family tree rooted in Africa. The DNA fell into two general categories, one found only in some babies of recent African descent, and a second found in everyone else and the other Africans. There was more diversity among the exclusively African group's DNA, suggesting that it had accumulated more mutations because it had been around longer -- and thus was the longest branch of the family tree. Apparently the DNA tree began in Africa, and then at some point a group of Africans emigrated, splitting off to form a second branch of DNA and carrying it to the rest of the world.” ( per Newsweek, The Search For Adam & Eve.)

An Earlier Version Of Adam & Eve

“The Jews, in writing their account of Man's origin, copied it from the ancient East Indian legend of Hadama and Hava (Adam and Eve). Herodotus, of 447 B.C., said very clearly that the people of all that region of Mesopotamia and India were black. He called them Ethiopians. Moreover, tropical man is never white. He is most often black or dark brown, with flat nose, frizzly or woolly hair, and protruding jaws. Thus when the Christians chose Adam as their ancestor, they really chose a dark-skinned progenitor for the human race, even though the early Christians of Europe knowing no better represented Adam in their paintings as white.” (1) Hadama and Hava are called Adam and Hawa in the Qur'an.

Just as civilization did not start with White people, neither were the first humans White people. Even current-day “scientists” recognize you can't get all the human color variations by beginning with White, but you can when you begin with Black.

One Of Many Logical Conclusions

No God in the right frame of mind would create people in a Garden located in a humid, arid climate make them White and butt naked and consider it Paradise.

The one family we are all a part of goes way back, even before the first humans. Why is this so? Because the matter humans are made of and were born from, existed long before humans.

Belief can be obscured by one or more lies. Knowledge can be confirmed by any and all truths.

The Original Holy Book Is Knowledge From The HeavensUnity Consciousness #238

.

The universe is simply multiple representations of the same thing.

From the imagination of the Creator, images were transformed into all types of creation. These images are a picture book. Stories are told through images, pictures and symbols.

If the heavens are the home of the Creator, then this also is the source of images, pictures and symbols of the original picture book that the children of the Creator must pay attention to.

Galaxies, solar systems, Earth's, plants and people for instance, must also tell the same story created by the Holy One. This makes the heavens the Original Holy Book. This also makes humans and all else contained within the universe parts of the story. We are images who represent parts of the story of the Original Holy Book.

Each creation is a script that plays out a role in the universal story. Together, we are scriptures. Many of us are acting out corrupted scripts. We have lost knowledge of the sacred instructions that pertain to self and all else.

The Natural World Is The Unaltered Holy Book

The natural world outside of humans tells the holy story. This is why the natural world must be used to corroborate human understanding in human written”holy” books.

Knowledge from the heavens comes down through the natural world outside of Earth into the natural world inside of Earth and then into the natural world inside every creation within Earth.

This gives us many opportunities through the logical use of metaphor (picture, symbol, image) to understand the Creator's plan for life and existence.

Understanding natural worlds is fundamental. This is why instead of human dominion over nature there must be communion. This is why we must commune with self to know self to be able to commune with others.

The Creator is the author of the Original Holy Book that everyone has always had access to. This book does not require paper and ink. It has been in print since the beginning of creation. All creation has access to this book and all creation has a personal copy of this book. This book is written in both spirit and matter. It is written in forms that can be read by sight, sound, touch, feel, thinking and any other sensing ability we have.

Ankh Cross Connection | African Symbols

If I'm afraid of this:

Then I should be afraid of this:

Because of this (1):

And this (2):

But I should not be afraid of facts

"Back to at least 400,000 B.C. [long before Adam, Eve and JC] artifacts have been found. The most ancient of these artifacts, one of the most important in Egypt, is called the "Ankh," which the Christians adopted..." (From, The Nile Valley Civilization and the Spread of African Culture)

The cross is thought by many Christians to be a unique emblem of their faith. The fact is that this cross is of ancient Ethiopian origin. The Christian cross is made in the exact image of the Ethiopian tau. (Paraphrased from, Ethiopia and the Origin of Civilization)

Summary

Followers of some bibles love the symbol of the cross but consider the ankh to be evil, pagan, primitive and African yet both symbols are written in stone on the walls of ancient buildings in Africa's Nile Valley. Both the ankh and the cross were taken from Africa. Both the ankh and the cross are still ubiquitous.

This is another reason why Africa is more fundamental than bibles. Africa, African civilizations and African contributions to those bibles, came thousands of years before any bible.

Why is this important to us? Why is it important today?

If we expect to succeed to our highest level of capacity, Africa must be one of the fundamentals used to get the most out of effort. The source is the purest and most powerful source. To be sure we're drinking unpolluted waters, we must go back ahead of those who came after us and are dirtying history with lies.

We must turn to ancient Africa and her wisdoms. Why? Look at it this way. If Africa's teachings were not good and powerful, the other civilizations would not have built their civilizations based on African civilization. They would not have stolen all of Africa's ideas. We Africans everywhere must recognize the treasure of Africa within us. As we connect more and more of our individual power with Africa's collective powers, we approach escape velocity from wayward societies and closer to our natural selves.

Africa | More Fundamental Than Bibles

This is in response to the article and comments at this link: Fundamentals | Always Applicable And Effective

Bibles Don't Harmonize

Bibles, of which there are many, are things humans create in their attempt to understand life and existence. Land, water and food are things the Creator creates. Nothing man creates can be more fundamental than what the Creator creates. Everything humans create will always be secondary and subpar to what the Creator creates unless humans create in accordance with the fundamental principle of harmony.

African Consciousness

Consciousness raising is also more fundamental because it moves us in the direction of our Creator. Despite all the countries that assume they have relevance, the African continent is more fundamental than them all. It is, in fact, still the richest in natural resources. It is, in fact, the place the Creator chose to bring humans and humanity into the world. Africa contains the foundations for all cultures and all civilizations before these offshoots went astray. Africa contains the foundation of the ancestry of every human that has ever existed.

A Little More About Bibles

Cultures, civilizations and humans were in existence for tens of thousands of years before any bible existed. Many of the ideas in today's bibles come from African thought. Some of these ideas are written in stone on the walls in Kemet and other places in the Nile Valley and throughout the Motherland. If there is such a thing as “almost heaven,” it was, is and will be in Africa. This is true because all things were once in order and will be restored to natural order. Order must exist somewhere, otherwise disorder would have consumed the world and itself a few thousand years ago. This order exists wherever creation is adhering to the fundamentals.

Back To Consciousness

Bibles and other tools/weapons have been used to block the fundamental consciousness that everyone is an African – from the blackest to the whitest and to every variation in between. Our greatest grandparents are African no mater who we are. Those parents were short of stature but tall of character. See, Spiritual Forgetfulness, Alkebu-lan (Afrikan) Amnesia and Crazy...

Through raising awareness, thus consciousness, we come to know ourselves. As we grow to know ourselves we grow to understand our parents, their parents and so on. This understanding keeps expanding and helps us understand the natural world and the parents of us all – The Creator. Knowledge of self is the saving grace available to us all.

When we heed the advice of our ancestors who told us often to know yourself, we are doing what is fundamentally important to this life and existence. Back in the day this was so fundamental, they wrote “know yourself” over the doors of temples. More fundamental than going to church is to go in search, of knowledge of self.

Having The Proper Identification At All Times

As a result of knowing ourselves we grow into our proper identity. Identity is also more fundamental than bibles. Most, if not all, individual and collective problems and crises, stem from identity crisis. This is true since without proper identification we lack full awareness of what harmony really is and what it takes to achieve it. In other words, until we know who we are, we cannot know who to get with or what to get with to form harmonious relationships within ourselves and outside ourselves. Until we know who we are, we cannot know what works for us or against us except through unnecessary trial and error. If we had the proper identification, we could properly identify all other things. We must get valid identification and carry it at all times or else remain self-arrested.

As has been said, the absence of harmony is a fundamental flaw. Without a substantial grasp of the fundamental of harmony, fundamentals in many areas, having nothing sustainable to inform choices which support them, must fall apart.

Fundamentals | Always Applicable And Effective

Their execution may have to be reshaped but the principles for progress and health are timeless and powerful, no matter the year because the problems have the same fundamental causes.

Consciousness raising indeed is what is needed. Kwame Toure addresses this in the video, Converting The Unconscious To Conscious

History, created greatness, land, resources. Present understandings regarding these concepts, and more, are a matter of mis-education that is blocking the memory that is resident in our DNA.

In addition to what Brother Ture suggests, here are 5 views from others, including myself, that state fundamental problems and pretty much tell us, in essence, where the bulk of our focus should be.

1. “Many problems stem from land ownership and water rights. Land and water provide the ability to meet basic needs.” From, Our Fatal Flaw – The Absence Of Harmony. The Root Cause Of Many Problems.

2. Power is land and the tools to work the land. This idea is borrowed from Dr. David Deberry, ”Forty Acres – Power And Justice”

3. Willie Lynch adherents know what power is and how to get it, they say, ...”to master a human being, no matter what his race or color, all you need to do is to strip him of his identity, his land, the strength of his culture, and the memory of his ancestors.” In other words, take, mis-educate, then dominate." (1)

4. “When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the Land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught us how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible” (Jomo Kenyatta, former President of Kenya, African Nationalist and leader of the Mau Mau rebel group)

5. ”The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.” (Achebe, Chinua, Things Fall Apart) and Family Relationships | Why Things Fall Apart And So Continues The Meaning Of Life & Existence (Part 8j)

6. Malcolm X has told us in “There's No Such Thing as a Non-violent Revolution,” that “revolution is based on land, land is the basis of all independence, land is the basis of freedom, justice and equality.”

What is more fundamental?

Update 5.26.17

What is more fundamental is spirit-soul. Call it spiritual only or soulful only if you choose. No matter what, we must increase our understandings of the spirit-soul aspect of self and the spirit-soul aspect that exists in all else. We can always begin within and by observing and listening. We can also begin with studying spirituality and its lesser form, religion.

What is more fundamental to help us achieve necessary understandings for our evolution, is understanding fundamental things such as origin, beginning, dimension... This reconstruction process of contextual framework allows everything else to logically fit into proper position and automatically simultaneously initiates the process of reconfiguring all other connections, until the importance of land becomes so brilliant, that it outstrips our glorification of money, just as we already understand the Sun is superior to all lights on Earth shining at once.

What is more fundamental is a steady, continuous improving integration (optimizing as opposed to maximizing) of all fundamentals.
