"Free and critical minds can emerge only by a return to the source-the primary sources. A free and critical mind takes nothing for granted and is not intimidated by "authorities" who frequently may be more confused than the general public. Free and critical minds seek truth without chauvinism or shame."-Asa G. Hilliard III

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

Ankh Cross Loop Noose Of Life & Death
Phase One
Unity Consciousness #1209

.

(Part 9dc of 11)

It's okay to say Ankh means life as long as we realize we're only speaking one side of the truth out the side of our mouths, rather than speaking both truths out of the middle of our mouths.
As we've learned in numerous messages about duality, where one part of a duality exists, the other part must also exist, at least in potential; therefore, the ankh also means death.

The Ankh-cross was the most sacred cross of Kemet. The circle at the top of this cross is the Ru representing the female, uterus, vagina, womb, mouth, opening, oval, zero, universe, egg, seed and the northern celestial birthplace from which the sun is re-born. Time being reborn signifies the beginning of another cycle, thus more time is given to the universe in this manner. Thus, once again, we confirm the continuous birth of cycles is the ever-coming one (Child, Savior, Messiah, Star). When spirit-soul gives birth to itself, it is giving itself more time to transform the things it has created. So it is not time, that is the Savior, but spirit-soul in all forms used in accordance with destinypurpose.
The Goddess of Stars, also called the “Mother of the Revolutions," or “Cycles,” gives birth to another form of him-herself as trinity of time (future, present, past). The earliest shape of the Ankh-cross was a simple loop or noose. The Ankh, circle, uterus, loop and noose all represent the bringing forth of life and the continuing of life. However, the beginning of one cycle also brings with it the ending of another cycle of life. Thus, the Ankh was also a symbol of death. (NG1 192-3/210-11); (NG2 387-8/395-6)

The noose is an Ark or Rek type of reckoning – a symbol of the vagina, woman, all beginning, time and rule. (NG1 423/441); (NG2 271/279)

Tum

This is only a peek into the study of Tum/Atum.
During different periods of history, Mut, the mother, and Tum, the father were recognized as the producers of an immortal soul.
The immortal soul itself, was also called the Mut or the Tum, and was the child, the reproduction, the representative likeness, the sem-same in different form. This child, was the immortal soul of life of time, the cycle, the ever-coming rebirth of self. (AE2 892/356)

As a result, Tum represents the total and the measure and the measurer, and also means to cut, strike, announce.
Tum comes from “tumu” to shut up, to close. Tum is the setting sun, the closer in the west. As shutter up of day or of autumn in the annual and great year cycles, he wears the closing lotus on his head. Tum is the antithesis to himself as Horus rising out of the opening flower of dawn. Atum was the closer as well as the opener of Amenta. (AE2 655/119)
Tum is the child of Spirit-soul and is the rebirth of Spirit-soul, the rebirth of the Mother & Father; therefore Tum is (plaintiff, defendant, prosecutor, judge, jury, executioner and savior) who brings forth both forms of justice also adjudicates and punishes and rewards. Therefore both forms of justice save the world in turn and harm the world, out of turn. This is just another way to confirm the necessity of duality that functions in opposite forms of energy. (BB 123/135)

Atum (Atum-Iu) is the name of Justice personified. Atum, like all other deities in Nile Valley Mythology spiritual teachings, is not a person, but rather elemental, nature powers, non-human, superhuman. Religion confuses this and turns the deities of mythology into actual historical people.

Note: Total is Ter, As, Ni, Tem, Matter, Spirit-Soul, Khekh (Kher & Khes)...

Autum

AU, as a prefix, means the oldest, the primordial. AU also means “ was.” AU is a modified form of AF, as in Africa. AU means both, to give life and to take life, to chastise, praise, punish and reward, thus Africa also means to give and take in both negative and positive ways. (BB 28/40)

Therefore, Autum is the reverse of Atum.
Atum means to give life with the circle, the loop, the noose. On the flipside, Autum means to take life with the circle, the loop, the noose. (AE1 537/547)

Autum is also a slang term for an execution by hanging, to enclose, exterminate breath, life, time, punishment of a criminal by drawing a noose. (BB 159/171)

The existence of Autum as a reverse form of Tum and Atum, tells us Africans in the Nile Valley had been using the loop and noose to exterminate life and punish criminals. And then when the cycle changed and they were no longer in charge, the same thing was done to their descendants who became criminalized under a different form of justice.
One of the earliest forms of the Ankh was a piece of rope, string made into a loop. The ankh is the power of life and death because the ankh is the circle and the womb and the seed, etc. Since the ankh is the circle, it represents both halves (lower and upper, bottom and top, south and north, first and second, first and last, etc.). Life can be given or taken with any form of any genetic potential once we understand how to use it as such. But this we already knew because we know everything can be used as a tool and a weapon.
The last half of this Great Year has been the Autumn and Winter of the larger cycle when Africans have been the strange fruit, the dead leaves dangling from and falling from trees in all forms. So you know what's coming around mountain as he-she comes and the cycle continues changing. This is inevitable. There is no way for a pendulum to swing from one side to the next and stop smack dab in the middle the first time it moves back in the other direction, unless there is a strong magnetic force that holds it there.

“At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races." (Charles Darwin, The Descent Of Man)


Note: The making of the ankh with the thumb and another finger to form a circle means “okay.” Inserting a finger into this circle signifies the sexual action of opening of the ankh. Putting fingers and hands together to form a heart is an ankh. Putting a diagonal line through a circle is an ankh.
Everything that has ever existed is still here in another form. We just don't always reckonize it as the sem-same thing.


Note: What is ever-coming is divine, eternal, immortal youth through the rebirth of cycles, every moment, second, minute, hour, day, week, month, season, year, great year and so on. This renewal of cycles is the renewal of spirit-soul, thus the renewal of the forms of spirit-soul, thus the renewal of the elements of life. This continuous renewal and transformation had many names such as Kheper, Horus, Aten, Tum, Nefer-Atum, Iu-em-hetep, Atum-Ra, Jesus.... (AE2 728/192)

Teaching Proverbs | Animism Definition Rejected
African Spiritual Practices Accepted

What is Animism?

To briefly summarize several dictionary references, “Animism” is the belief all things contain spirit. For a moment this seems accurate and kinda harmless because it contains some truth. However, a closer and overall look is warranted.

The term itself is “animal” + “ism.” This implies a religion based on animals and animal worship. It invokes all sorts of notions that are unfounded, foolish and fearful.

The term Animism was only recently created less than a few hundred years ago by the children of the human race to describe what the parents do. The term Animism is often used by non-indigenous outsiders in an attempt to grasp concepts they still do not understand.

Indigenous people Do Not call their spiritual beliefs by the term, Animism. This term has been imposed by those who are opposed to the people and to their beliefs. Most, if not all indigenous people, do not have names for their overall set of spiritual practices. They just do them in the context of life. Why? Since life comes out of the natural world and is sustained by the natural world, this obviously is the best basis we know for the context of life, existence, meaning and understanding.

The term Animism is at best, a narrow, ungrounded perspective. At worst, the term Animism is derogatory,thus dishonest. The promoters of this terminology purposefully defame African spiritual practices. They attempt to arrogantly name what Africans have not named. Is it not sufficient to call them African spiritual practices? Of course not. That would be too much like right.

For those seeking to understand African spiritual practices, one way is to compare apples to apples:

Conversation Between A Knower & A Non-Believer

John: Why do you worship animals and trees? Isn't that kinda crazy?
Mary: I respect animals and trees. Why do you worship a tree?
John: I don't worship trees.
Mary: Do you show reverence for the cross?
John: Yes.
Mary: Wood is a tree.
John: The cross represents a tree. It's not a tree. It's pieces of wood.

Mary: To help me understand this, will you answer a few questions for me John?
John: Sure! I'm open-minded.
Mary: When a chicken walks around, is it a chicken?
John: Yes.
Mary: When it is in the freezer, is it a chicken?
John: Yes.
Mary: When it is on your plate, is it still chicken?
John: Of course it is.
Mary: Was the whole chicken on your plate?
John: Of course not.
Mary: Was the piece of chicken alive on your plate?
John: No.
Mary: Yet, through all the changes the chicken went through and even in pieces it was still chicken.
John: Yep, sure was.
Mary: So no matter the form, chicken is chicken. The chicken wouldn't change even if we call it by a different name. The substance and essence remains though the form may change. In the same way, part of a tree is still the tree, even if the part is not “alive” and even if it is given a different name. Now tell me. Who is crazier, one who reveres the entire tree when it's alive and existing as The Creator designed it or one who reveres a portion of the tree in a man-made form as two pieces of wood crisscrossed?
John: [hesitates for several moments][He considers within himself the following: (1) If I say, the one who reveres the tree is crazy, then I condemn my own practices. (2) If I say both are crazy, I condemn myself also.] John answers: Neither.


The African-centered consciousness rejects the term, Animism. It also rejects another group's explanation of what we do. On the basis of creating the foundations for all civilizations, Africans remain capable of providing any explanations and definitions we deem necessary.

African-centered consciousness is fully aware, the term Animism and the false ideas it generates, are active-aggressive attempts to scare Africans away from their true spiritual practices. These spiritual practices are the undeniable source of our power to overcome all things by the power in all things.

In the link above, Dr. Barashango goes on to explain how the Kemetians continued to rebuild their cities bigger and better each time Kemet was invaded, plundered and torn down. The invaders finally correctly identified the spiritual practices in Kemet as the secret to the people's ability to continue to rebuild. This is why all things African are under attack today.

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.
