Ancient Naming Ceremonies Return

What Is In An Afrikan Indigo Name?


Sba Nuta Beqsu Amen-Ra El, Priestess and DirectorKandaki-Ma of the Amen Par Ankh (APA) leads an Annual AfRaKaN Indigo KRST -Seed Blessings and KMT Destiny Naming Ceremony on the Vernal Equinox, with Amen Par Ankh and Amen Ankh Akademy, A.C.E. Green STEAM , Shuli Community. The Director outlines the importance of taking on an Indigo AfRaKaN name.


   


Hetepu, (Peace be unto you)! I first want to give honor to our oldest Ancient Sheps (Ancestors) who dwell with us to this day. Our oldest people were the Ancient Twa/Khoisan- Gatherer Hunters, who first appeared at the Mountain of the Moon, the Cradle of Ankh (life,) at the Lake source of the Nile. Our Ancient peoples used Hekas, monosyllabic utterances, as sounds of power! These were the oldest people on the planet, who still remain with us to this day. They spoke the ancient sounds of power to reflect on the forces of nature. I give honor and gratitude to The trinity representing the All of creation; the Neteru, (Universal Natural Forces) Aku (Laws and Principals) and Sheps (Ancestars) that dwell within our DNA of Body, Mind, and Soul. We are never alone. Our Neteru are the dynamic aspects and Elemental Powers of the Forces of the Yoniverse and Nature that support our lives.

I call out the names from the many names of the forces and laws in the Yoniverse. I call out the name of MA the all-encompassing Yoniverse, Nu, the Primordial Waters, Nut, The Celestial Sky, Tefnut, the Atmosphere. Ra, the light of Enlightenment, Geb, the force and dynamics of the Earth that support our lives and Amen, the Sacred Hidden Potential Power and Essence of the Yoniverse.



Our Aku are the Dynamic Principals and laws of the Universe. Ankh is our mother wombs of life. She is the principal of Eternal life and the vortex to living power. The Djed is the electromagnetic force of creation. Khepera, The principal of Transformation, Resurrection and the manifestation of the hidden dynamics of the Universe. Tehuti, the power of knowledge, Ma'at, the principles of Justice, Balance, Reciprocity, and the 42 Virtuous Laws. Also, the Trinity of Family love and life- Auset, the first Mother of Immaculate Conception, the Nurturing, eternal love, healing and support of life and family. She is the mirror of the Moon. She is the epitome of the Virtuous Woman who was blessed to have the first Immaculate conception of Heru the warrior, governor, and the force of will, of our being. Heru Vanquishes the death of Ausar the Earth Sovereign, of all things green and growing. He is our higher selves, our super consciousness, he represents abundance. I give honor to my High Priest and Engineer, Sasteh Meter Mosley of Amen Par Ankh.

The subject of "Our" names, Naming Ceremonies, and speaking our own languages are fundamental cores for empowering a nation. Most of us don’t think about our names, where we come from, or what our names mean, which in and of itself is a place for enlightenment and Healing. The fact that we take our names so lightly is not by chance and is not the way of our Ancient peoples. This is something we must restore in our efforts to reestablish a Green Nome society.
Our Names are really important to our collective culture, because names connect us to our past, our memories, our languages, our sounds of power, proverbs, genius, identity, and wisdom of Our-story vs "his-story." Names are given or earned by family members at birth, through the Oracles from an Afrikan Spiritual Healer, KMT Priest, or Shaman as a title in rites of passage ceremonial promotion. Our names reverberate our Destiny path. As we (Melanin Humans) look back and see where we came from and dig into our Ancient Ancestral roots, Speaking our names and using our languages, are fundamental to restoring our healing, and reconnecting us to our own cultural heritage.
http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2013/12/affirmation-initiation-to-kmt-name.html 

Our Names and our languages are connected to our reality. 

Connected to Hundreds of thousands of years of recorded history. Restoring and reuse of our languages is vital to reshape and define who we are as a people and as human beings. To have hundreds of millions of First Original people over hundreds of thousands of years, who have been renamed and erased, is a travesty and injustice.





The presence of Ancient African civilizations from the Nile Valley can be found all over the planet, throughout the 7 continents, from Africa to Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australia, the Islands, etc... Afrikans are the original indigo first peoples on the planet. We now have identified the Eve Gene, resting in the DNA of every Black Melanin Mother Matrix. All humans (Hue-Man) come from African DNA, and never the other way around. The Gatherer Hunter migrations in Central East Africa, of the Twa/Khoisan Matriarchal Societies,  spoke in monosyllabic Hekas, and are represented in icons representing elemental powers in the names: Ma, Nu, Ra, Shu, Nut, Geb, TefNut, etc., and Bes as an ambassador all over the planet. Bes is the protector of the family core. His image can be found on calendars, charts, stone monuments, totems, and as small carvings in burial chambers. Bes had wisdom and magic. He knew the lands, water, underground caverns, Forests and charted the stars.

Bes the Indigo Twa/Khoisan

Then began the travel of our Nubian Pastoral Cattle Herders, Fisherman, and Traders- also known as the Nation of the Shepherd Kings. These were the first "Cowboys!" It was the Nubians who opened and established trading routes and began to course the waterways to find food and resources. They were known as the Hebrews, the Tribes of Judah, The Israelites, and the Moors

Finally, we began to collect and store our seeds and animals, as farmers, craftsmen and built spiritual temples, educational institutions, in the Ausarian agricultural and trade kingdoms. These were Sedentary Patriarchal societies with vast libraries and Universities. You can still find the Ausarian and East Afrikan cultural remains from the Nile valley civilizations, all over the planet- In the languages, Spiritual Icons, beadwork, and burial customs, Mounds and Pyramids, Stone Work, paintings, etc. The First- Oldest human beings- in Europe, Asia, The Americas; Australia, the Islands; and of Course Africa, etc. were black-skinned, nappy haired peoples, who traveled all over the planet for millennia... Indigo/Black/Melanin People are the DNA foundation for ALL people of color! Yes, Native Americans have Afrikan DNA, Afrikan Quantum Bloodlines, and not the other way around.
African peoples have established great civilizations As Twa/Khoisan gatherer-hunters, Nubian Pastoral, and Ausarian Agricultural Farmers, on the 7 Continents, all over the planet, long before the presence of Caucasian Vikings, Latin/Columbus, or the Protestant/Pilgrims, etc., set foot out of Europe. We are the Geo Mound Builders. Our Presence is in the Olmec, Mayan, Fulsom, Natchez, and Eskimo-Aleut, Cherokee, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek who practiced the Akabalon ways and traditions.

Black skinned African peoples Established civilizations all over the planet. Everywhere on the planet, where there is a flourishing kingdom, you find remnants of the Ausarian way of life.

Our languages were the core of our powerful culture. Our Songs, Prayers, and Names are the Heka- Sounds of power that ties us to our collective consciousness and the utterances to Ma, our Yoniverse. 

 Yet in this western society, our names were missing and deliberately deleted by a harsh alien, Imperialist, colonial constructs. This WAR+J Cult (Western-Aryan-Roman +Jewish) virus cancerous system has been the greatest identity theft and pirate ring in his-story! We have lived in this Alien Kkorporatakrazy where everything in their worldview, was/is a commodity that has a price. Nothing was/is considered sacred. With their covetous nature, like a virus, these alien invaders stole, tortured, raped and destroyed Human lives, appropriating, desecrating, and decimating cultures, communities, Economies, Ecologic-animal systems, land, and resources. They formed their commercial companies and raised their military to enforce the destruction, waste, and over-consumption of whatever they surveyed. They invaded lands looking to expand their empires and migrate, for gold, diamonds, cheap workers, servants, and other resources. This plague actually took our Ancestors invading Asia, Africa, and the Americas, at different time periods over thousands of years.

Malcolm X rejects his US Government Name:



We have been and are still at war!

During the Trans-Atlantic Trade Wars of the 14th Century Aryan Aliens, raided, fought, and kidnapped our Peoples! Our people were abducted, right here in the Americas, until they worked us to death, in mass genocide. We were brought on ships from all over the American and African Diaspora, these aliens would imprison, then strip and rob our ancestors of everything they had, then brand our free sovereign people! Using searing-hot irons, they branded Melanin Peoples with the symbols and names of their trading commercial companies and agencies, seared into our skin,  then sold off like cattle. Men, Women, and Children received symbols like the French "Fleur de lis" or  numbers and letters like “I, M, X,” or  "T-L Ranch," "Property of Johnson plantation", Property of this factory or that shipping company, or personal property owner, etc.. The Fleur de lis is ironically a symbol of royalty in Ancient Afrika/Kemet.


The Bee was the precursor to the Fleur-de-lys. In Ancient KMT, The Bee represented the Queen Mother Matriarchy, which was the Royal Family in ancient Afrika/Akabalon. As the Queen would give birth to a firstborn prince, he would be titled Nsut Bity (Black Power)


Yet, our Ancestors would sometimes not even be given names -we were the N-word or “boy” and “gal,” like any stock animal. It was an incredible attack on our self-esteem, and identity of who we are so it would be difficult for us to even find ourselves, or for our loved ones to find us. If you look back and try to locate your family now, in family trees or records, you can’t even find them. It’s like we disappeared! Anthropologists and other historical scientists have always known of our presence all over the world, to be a fact. Yet, they are also historically, the main perpetrators for cover-ups and "white-washing" for fear of facing the shut down of their university grants, scholarships patrons, and sponsors. - (follow the money)... (Now you have Caucasian rapists attempting to claim "Native American" Ancestry, to control the narrative of Melanin people's presence in history, using Native American casino money) It's like a man rapes a woman- she has a child. Then the rapist returns to claim the child and the woman's cultural identity as his!

YET WE ARE HERE! WE ARE SURVIVORS! 

OUR ANCESTORS DNA LIVES IN US!


Having Your Own Original Names That Reflect Our Destiny Became an Offense

So now we are “Jones” and “Barbara” , “Jim” and “Judy,” with Sir-names of Smith, Davis, Johnson, Williams, McDaniels, etc. which are peculiar names for our people. So that we can’t even trace ourselves in history. This is something that our people as warriors, have been fighting and struggling with forever. Every time we use these names, we reflect a racist history of white supremacy and enslavement.
Having our own names in our own languages, became an offense. Often times a criminal offense. We were beaten and traumatized for calling out to our God and Ancestors for power, singing, speaking, reading or writing our own languages or using the Heka sounds to disrupt the toxic energy around us. Our wisdom, brilliance, magic, and genius were beaten and tortured out of us.  To hold on to your name is to hold on to your past, is to hold on to who we are, our culture, our collective Memory, Roots, Land origins, Wisdom, Power, and Identity as families and Human Beings.
One of the things that our captors had to do was erase our memory, as historical genocide and amnesia so that none would know who we were, or where to find us; and later, where to find us in history. Their very intent was to destroy our humanity and render us to a voiceless herded animal state, like cattle or a pet monkey. This is our Maafa trauma. We’ve had to face the debasement and slander of our cultural ways in the Americas, Europe, and Mama Afrika herself through colonialism. They used our Children. They snatched our children away from their mother's breast, separating their small and defenseless bodies from even nurturing and emotional ties. They forced our children into hog pens or boarding houses and forced them to deny our languages and cultures. To only speak enough rough simple English like a trained dog, to follow orders and serve. When they grew to become parents themselves, they learned to speak to their own offspring in the same manner. Our Babies were terrorized, tortured, starved, molested and raped as little children until they grew to despise themselves, despise all authority and their parents who were helpless to save them.
For a while, if you wanted to find yourself, you really didn’t want to be Native American, or Afrikan, because Indians were depicted as brutal, desperate and wild, in a barren landscape, and Afrika is thought of as this place where monkeys and wild people and savages live. (look at the cartoons and songs they fed our children years ago and now.) So we didn’t want to be associated with that. In many cases, we sacrificed our culture and willingly embraced the horde of European invasion. In many instances, Indigo people thought that being Hispanic or Latin, or Catholic would actually improve our status and chances for survival. As Our children were stripped and segregated from us, our own children, under peer pressure, in childcare centers, schools and under their alien religions, bible and churches, were drilled with degrading self-hate propaganda and made to feel ashamed and forced to deny their family and American and African cultures as evil. Decade after decade, we were taught to be ashamed of who we are and who our Ancestors were. This left our children vulnerable to crave our oppressor's culture consumer traps, as a Maafa Syndrome: of total identification with their abusers, with the hope of favor. We mirror, emulate, model, and conform to the mores and lifestyles of racist abusers, bullies, and colonizers, along with those who benefit from and glean privileges. They contort and radically change body and mind to strip themselves of their culture. Straightening hair, lightening skin, we think and speak in their language, we wear their western clothes, live in their rectangular housing constructs eat their toxic and diseased water and foods and devotedly practice their religions- oblivious of our own, only to compete for, go into debt slavery for, and create strife against each other- for "Shiny Things" and materialistic consumer addiction!
So we were corralled into following the western patriarchal systems, as the only systems we were permitted, and have been programmed into cults, to become Jehovah's Witness, Catholic, Apostolic, Baptist, Methodist Episcopalian, Hebrews, etc., or the “Asiatic Blackman” if you look at the Aryan based Islamic groups. We have become all of these "other" things. Yet, these are products of colonialism themselves! Terms like, “Puerto Ricans,” which ain’t nothing but a Spanish-speaking African, (Paul Mooney) is a reflection of how Indigo nations succumbed to embrace western influences and to despise our Ancient Ancestral origins. We'll say we're “part Italian” or anything other than our true nature. So, as we carry these foreign names, we segregated our minds from the brutality that was associated with them. This was something that made our names––our own identity––something that was hard to hold onto.

Dr. Amos Wilson: Blueprint for Black Power: https://blackaccessnetwork.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/blueprint-for-blackpower-lecture-by-dr-amos-wilson.pdf

Dr. Wilson asks some very pertinent questions, pertaining to the possession of an alien consciousness;
What language do we speak?
What Names do we call ourselves and respond to?
What foods do we eat?
What clothing do we wear?
What religion do we practice?- Can You Name ONE Afrikan God?










Our Original/Indigenous/Afrikan Names Have Powerful Meaning

Today we want to engage in being reborn in a new beginning for many of us. Like a new birth, it’s almost like being born again like in the church. "A People Perish From Lack of Knowledge" This is our collective knowledge of self.

We know that there is NO "race." 

Race was manufactured as a political construct for social control and class/economic status. Our society would fair better to completely remove race as a narrative, into our future. ALL HUMANs (Hue =Melanin/Color/pigmant +Ma =Foundation of the living Universe +N =Laws, and Principal Powers of the Universe) beings (people with natural melanin,) come from the ancient Afrikan continent, which is the foundation of All continents as Turtle Island before the contenental drift (See Great Year). Yes, Afrikan people, in their multiple varieties, are our oldest known Ancestry on the planet. The "Eve Gene is found in the DNA of every Black Melanin woman.

Yet, Caucasians are the exception. They are "Mankind," possessing a hybrid form of RH- blood that possesses fragments of RNA, that tie them to Neanderthals and Rhesus Apes. They may be extra Terrestrials from the Paladian star system. The Original Indigo Hunter-Gatherers were Melanin Afrikans- NOT Neanderthals. Our Hunter-Gatherers are the oldest humans that still exist to this day.  They were the Twa/Khoisan who were represented as Bes the Twa Man. The Twa/Khosan traveled the entire planet and established Civilizations. So, Caucasians were later crossbreds of Mankind, from Apes that only made their appearance on the planet around 10,000 years ago. A rare few possess, what is known as O Negative blood who rarely survive childbirth, because the blood of their fetus attacks the mother. The Caucasians are essentially Identity Thieves. Everything that Aryan Caucasians claim, own, or represent was stolen from Indigo Humans. for instance the Greeks are a stolen legacy of ancient Kametic Knowledge that was not vredited to their Predicessors.
The Indigo Moors, who conquered and governed Europe for almost 1000 years. broke the spell of Bes, the Curse of the Dark Ages, and the Flat Earth, which were able to contain the caucasoids into a small area in the north, for Aeons, where they were afraid to cross. During their government, the Moors restored civilization in Europe, and brought Wealth and Health.  African Knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, Fine and Industrial Arts, Agriculture, Mathematics, Hygiene, Philosophy and the Enlightenment of the Geo Planet terrestrial movement, using electromagnetics and the Stars for Nautical movement was a wealth of resources to establish civilizations all over the planet...


So how do we Re-Member our names of power and practice Our traditional ways of life if we were scattered from our historical origins?

One way is by sharing our Ancestral memories and traditions to instill our values and principles into our precious Children. Our naming ceremonies can be a powerful force, not only for our newborns but for ourselves as adults to acquire a name. It may be helpful for at least one family member, to participate in a DNA test. They can glean a cultural reference for the rest of the family. Yet, we must also re-gather our oral history, our languages, our anthropology,  between our families, on where our Ancestors lived before the Caucasian invasions. Many Native Americans have discovered that they can trace their languages, customs, and cultural mores, to Nubian, Hebrew and Arab influences from the eastern regions of Afrika.

 We are the Geo Mound Builders. Our Presence is in the Olmec, Mayan, and Eskimo-Aleut families and traditions. So, we can't assume that our DNA tells the whole story of our families or nations. Just like we can no longer assume a monolithic concept, that people of African Ancestry, only came to America, from Africa through the Trans- Atlantic wars and prisoner capture. We were abducted right here on the American land to be used as chattel. As Native Americans, we are not one lump group of people. We have a variety of genotypes and phenotypes; language groups, dialects, and cultural traditions that spread and are represented all over the American continent, over thousands of years. So, Mexicans, Jamaicans, Brazilians, Puerto Ricans, Choctaw, Lakota, Cherokee, Seminole, Alaskans, etc. are ALL Americans, from different regions of the continent. This is why there is NO "American Indian" DNA.
As a stream of consciousness, and Afrikan cultural similarities in different places, there were still,, all kinds of variations in customs in how namings occurred. In some places on the African continent, for example, an Infant was born with their placentas intact, they were named as soon as the umbilical cord drys and falls off. Some places, 7 or 8 days later, a person achieved a name. Sometimes a person would achieve one name and then, at eleven or twelve, or would get an adult name later on. Sometimes a person would even have a secret name so the enemies wouldn’t be able to locate that person by knowing the name. Just like we do now in our street organizations. 
Among the Akamba people of Tanzania, a child is named on the third day following their birth. Before the naming ceremony, the newborn is regarded as a spirit and not as a complete human being. A goat is slaughtered in appreciation of the ancestral spirits for the gift of a child and the fertility of the parents. The announcement of the newborn baby’s name by his or her grandmother or an elderly woman relative is the climax of the ceremony.
So there are variations of names and naming ceremonies. But one thing that is relatively common is that African names have meanings and that’s really important. In some places, names depend on the day one was born, the month or even the circumstances. For instance, my son was born prematurely, there’s a name for that. The name “born early”...”Mashombe”, from a language in Congo.




In the KMT societies, We went to the spiritual leaders of our communities for guidance and direction. 

We knew they had access to the Oracles of the Neteru, communed with the Aku (Light beings) and the Sheps (Ancestors) to direct our pathway to our purpose. We believe that Our Children have just arrived through the vortex of heaven, and our Elders are returning to the heavens...
And that’s one of the things that are relatively common about our cultural names, that the Spiritual leaders, grandparent or Elders often were the people who would choose our names. Names also were constructed––depending on how the person is born, how the person looks, whether it was a difficult birth, or things like this––these are the things that help to define what names are going to be.

Our Name Gives Us Something to Live Up To

So, names are important because they give us a mission. Words are Things, Words are alive. We find ourselves having to live up to or Name- Our Reputation. Our Actions not only reflected on our own character but that of our entire family and neighborhood.


Affirmation Initiation to a KMT Name

The Ancient Kemetic System is one of the oldest systems that remain intact, that ties back to our collective original peoples. The Ancient Kemetic system of acquiring a Name is a process of initiating the manipulation of the life-force with sounds of power and words of meaning. My Spiritual name is: NUTA BEQSU which means "heaven gives me balance." This is the development of Affirmation, then Visualization of my destiny. As anyone speaks my name, I will receive a program into my conscious spirit, to produce thought sequences to direct a course of action and as a way to achieve success in my life journey. Visualization is thought converted into a pleasurable visual image(s) to achieve a goal and/or purpose. As KMT initiates, we connect with Divine Power to guide and direct our pathways. As my name is spoken to me, I receive unity of direction in my life. My name reflects my Destiny. Nu, (the Primordial Waters) Nut,(The Heavens) Ta- (the heavenly land) Beqsu (beckons me to balance)... So, the sight Sound, vision, Aromas, and colors associated with my name will give me guidance in my destiny and pathway.

Our Sacred knowledge has always come from within us. We must transform past the Will-he-lynch syndrome of racism in this western society. We need our youth to rise up and reconnect with the wisdom of our elders, sages and ancestors. Dr. Amos Wilson suggested 5 self-evaluations: What language do you speak? What names do you Answer to? What foods do you eat? What clothes do you wear? Can you name one God from our original cultural systems? Amen Par Ankh means sacred sanctuary of living. We practice the ancient spiritual system, known as KMT. We are a family-based G-Nome Growing Foods and connecting with the cosmos. We are Teachers, and growers.

KWANZAA The Afrikan American Celebration to Practice Everyday

Kwanzaa: The Afrikan American Celebration to Practice Everyday

Kwanzaa (/ˈkwɑːn.zə/) is an African American Holiday!

This week-long celebration is held in the United States and in other nations of the African diaspora. It was created in 1965 by Maulana Karenga and was first celebrated in 1966. The celebration honors Afrikan heritage and culture and is observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift-giving.



Kwanzaa is one of the 1st specifically African-American holidays. According to Karenga, the name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza", meaning "first fruits of the harvest." The choice of Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism, especially in the 1960s.






Another African American Celebration feast, that is held traditionally on the 4th Sunday of the month of November, is Umoja Karamu (Unity Feast); Created by Dr. Edward Sims in 1971. http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2015/11/2015-umoja-karamu-unity-feast.html - This feast recognizes 5 key periods of Black History in the Americas.

Kwanzaa is a celebration that has its roots in the Black Panther poor people's empowerment movement of the 1960s and was established as a means to help African Americans reconnect with their African cultural and historical heritage by uniting in meditation, the study of African traditions, and Nguzo Saba, the "seven principles of African Heritage" which Karenga said, "is a communitarian African philosophy". For Karenga, a leader in the Black Panther Power movement in California, of the 1960s and 1970s, the creation of such holidays also emphasized an essential premise that "you must have a cultural revolution before any other revolution. The cultural revolution gives identity, purpose, and direction."

Kwanzaa has 7 core principles called Nguzo Saba. (The Nguzo Saba means: Principles Seven-) to guide and direct the path of liberation:

Umoja means unity.
Kujichagulia means self-determination.
Ujima means collective working together.
Ujamaa means cooperative Economics
Nia means purpose.
Kuumba means a handmade basket to represent creativity.
Imani means faith, especially faith in ourselves.


Each day of the celebration is noted to celebrate a specific principle. The Swahili greeting of Habari Gani? is a question: What's the News? And the proper response is the principle of that day.

Day 1 Umoja (oo-MO-jah) Unity stresses the importance of togetherness for the family and the community, which is reflected in the African saying, "I am We," or "I am because We are."

Day 2 Kujichagulia (koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah) Self-Determination requires that we define our common interests and make decisions that are in the best interest of our family and community.

Day 3 Ujima (oo-GEE-mah) Collective Work and Responsibility reminds us of our obligation to the past, present and future, and that we have a role to play in the community, society, and world.

Day 4 Ujamaa (oo-JAH-mah) Cooperative economics emphasizes our collective economic strength and encourages us to meet common needs through mutual support.

Day 5 Nia (NEE-yah) Purpose encourages us to look within ourselves and to set personal goals that are beneficial to the community.

Day 6 Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) Creativity makes use of our creative energies to build and maintain a strong and vibrant community.

Day 7 Imani (ee-MAH-nee) Faith focuses on honoring the best of our traditions, draws upon the best in ourselves, and helps us strive for a higher level of life for humankind, by affirming our self-worth and confidence in our ability to succeed and triumph in righteous struggle.


There are 7 symbols that are represented for the harvest display:
Mkeka—woven mat: Symbolic of our tradition and history and therefore, the foundation on which we build
Kinara—candle holder: Symbolic of our roots, our parent people—continental Africans
Mishumaa Saba—the seven candles: Symbolic of the Nguzo Saba (7 principles), the matrix and minimum set of values which African people are urged to live by in order to rescue and reconstruct their lives in their own image and according to their own needs
Mazao—crops: Symbolic of African harvest celebrations and of the rewards of productive and collective labor
Muhindi—corn: Symbolic of our children and our future which they embody
Kikombe cha Umoja—unity cup: Symbolic of the foundational principle and practice of unity which makes all else possible
Zawadi—gifts: Symbolic of the labor and love of parents and the commitments made and kept by the children.

Secondary Symbols and Swahili terms during Kwanzaa
I. NGUZO SABA (En-GOO-zoh Sah-BAH) Poster is on display and Symbolizes the seven principles of Kwanzaa, which were developed by Maulana Ron Karenga. The Nguzo Saba are social principles dealing with ways for us to relate to each other and rebuild our lives in our own images.

KWANZAA is a Pan-Afrikan holiday based on the various “First Fruits Festivals” observed around the Afrikan diaspora, known by different names (ex. “Odwira” among the Ashanti, “Eje” among the Yoruba, “Umkhosi” among amaZulu etc).
Based on careful studies, a team of Afrikan researchers, led by Dr Maulana Karenga, introduced Kwanzaa in 1966 as a Pan-Afrikan celebration for the unification of all Afrikan/Black people – regardless of faith, nationality, ideology, language, and birthplace.

Healing From Ma'afa Syndrome

Sunday, Friday, February 22, 2009

Healing from ‘Mental Enslavement’ Known as 

Maafa Syndrome* Adenike Amen-Ra

Although the shackles of chattel incarceration through a war of Colonialism on People of African Descent specifically and people of color generally, seems to have been removed from the US governmental system over a century ago, people of African descent in Africa, Europe, and the Americas, are still under a great oppression. European Caucasian slave owners' balance sheets, along with their, oxen, horses, cows, farm equipment and other tangible assets were calculated in great detail as evidence to the crime of White supremacy and the erroneous notions of a god given "Manifest destiny". Through the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment, on December 6, 1865, to the Civil Rights legislation that had been passed to relinquish the legal chains, and inequality, where Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241,. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Afrikan Americans specifically and people of color generally are still enduring the collateral damage of White supremacy and it's destructive manifestations. 

*MAAFA SYNDROME 

I call this enslaved mindset, Maafa Syndrome. 

Maafa Syndrome means the total identification with an assailant abuser or terrorist, for the hope of favor. Maafa Syndrome predates the term that is known as Stockholm syndrome (Capture Bonding). Many people of African descent, had/have been targeted, terrorized, and indoctrinated by other ethnic groups, and classes, as though they are subordinate. Many people of African Descent accept and comply with this subordination, and Assimilation, thinking they have no other alternative means... Many African Centered scholars will use the euro reference of "Stockholm Syndrome" to attribute the symptoms of the current psychological phenomena in people of African Descent. Yet the trauma and specific behaviors predate this euro contemporary coined phrase. Maafa Syndrome is specific to our people of Afrikan Descent. Adenike Amen-Ra M.Sp.Ed


Maafa is a KiSwahili word that means chaos and "terrible disaster." Maafa is an African term, like the word Holocaust, that is used universally for the trauma that was exacted particularly against people of African descent, by identifying them according to the color of their skin, to be thought upon as deficient and only worthy of being used as a beast of burden by colonizing imperialist. This term refers to the periods of time, when Indigo People, or People of African descent, were invaded in Afrika by Arabs and Aryan societies, to then be subjected to a war cult in the Atlantic, which subjugated the advanced cultural knowledge and vast resources within the Afrikan cradle of civilization, science, technology and spiritual achievements of the African diaspora. This Maafa has continued to occur within the Americas, and globally, by Invaders, imperialists, and colonizers that sought the expansion of their power and way of life, against Indigo people, who choose to live in harmony with creation. 



Afrikan Americans in the US had to endure the Domestic terrorism, of the likes of Black Codes. In late 1865, Mississippi and South Carolina enacted the first Black Codes. Mississippi’s law required Black people to have written evidence of employment for the coming year each January; if they left before the end of the contract, they would be forced to forfeit earlier wages and were subject to arrest.  Sharecropping, Jim Crow Segregation Laws, and Redlining, Re-bounded. Black children, elders, and women. African Americans are still subjected to Inequity, racist leadership, inequality in the workforce, employment in Corporate jobs, inequality in education, harassment and outright killing in stores and market places, Lynching, Police homicide, and brutality, supremacy systems, in public and commercial places, spite, hate crimes, and terrorist bombings and assaults. Black Americans still live in enemy territory, among apathetic and insensitive people, under a state of "white" supremacy, racial profiling, stereotyping, and terrorism. People of color and poor Caucasians became collateral damage and expendable assets to the proliferation of erroneous notions white supremacy. 









Yet, unlike, Native Americans, Jews, Chinese, and Japanese nations, etc., no outside national actions, Economic Recovery or Health Therapy, by the US society, has been employed to give restitution or reparations, for the mental and physical abuse, for the captivity, and colonization that occurred, for the family and societal disenfranchisement that was inherited, and for what economic destitution still remains with people of African descent today.












Yet many Afrikkan descendants are in denial of the long-lasting effects of the traumatically brutal institution of the inhumane treatment and forced labor, used to build the United States. They often passively assert that slavery happened long ago, it has nothing to do with them now, and as melanin people, we should forgive and forget it, and take advantage of any ‘freedoms’ now available to us. However, the emotional and psychological damage caused by the Transatlantic war, US mass murder and genocide, colonization, human trafficking, rape, and terrorism, was so severe, that many people today still struggle with psychological, health challenges, displaced families, and economic disenfranchisement. So many of our people have assimilated, and are compliant with the WASP middle-class value system of the United States.





One of the early incentives to divide and conquer organization and unity for people of African descent, outside of Religious indoctrination and the Willie Lynch syndrome, is the Meritorious Manumission Act.


The Meritorious Manumission Act of 1710 are principles that controlled the thinking of Caucasians and People of African Descent then and now. This is how racism/white supremacy functions, and how this act affects us today. The Meritorious Manumission Act of 1710 was a legal act of freeing a slave in exchange for his or her "good deeds" as defined by the national public policy:

1.Saving a so-called white person's life

2. Protecting a caucasian's personal property

3. Coming up with inventions in which the slave owner could profit financially and receive credit for the invention

4. Snitching on/ Reporting to authorities of any revolt of so-called Blacks

Many of our people sold themselves out and their own people, out of desperation. Many of us still do...

ARE YOU AN ASSIMILATIONIST (Acting Whyt) OR A REVOLUTIONARY?! 







Assimilation describes the process by which a person integrates socially, culturally, and/or politically into a larger, dominant culture and society. 
*The term assimilation is often referenced to immigrants, refugees, and ethnic groups settling in a new land. Immigrants acquire new customs and attitudes through contact and communication with the new society, while they rarely introduce some of their own cultural traits to that society.
 
*Full assimilation occurs when new members of a society become indistinguishable from older members.

Social scientists rely on four primary benchmarks to assess successful immigrant assimilation: 
socioeconomic status, geographic distribution, second language attainment, and intermarriage.

The challenge with this synopsis is that America was invaded by the US. The indigenous people of America were subjected to genocide and those who remained were terrorized onto Reservations. Children were then abducted and forced into assimilation where they were stripped of their way of live, culture, language, and sovereignty. While their land was parceled off.

The US had the kill the culture save the Man objectives which were imposed on all people of color 










Enslavement was also an assimilation process.





In the late 1950s psychologists, by the name of Dr. Kenneth and Mamie Clark, established an experiment, called the Doll study, which revealed the effects that segregation had on the African descendant community. Many ethnic and class groups, including people of African descent, isolated dark complexed dolls as undesirable, and un-preferred over other dolls of lighter complexions. This created a precedent for the integration of Americans of African descent into work and living situations around the descendants of those who had enslaved, colonized and disenfranchised them. The outcome of this integration mitigated the major obliteration of Black Schools, Black businesses, Black owned land and farms, and whole communities owned and opperated by Americans of African descent.

5 questions for gauging African consciousness, by Dr. Amos N Wilson (February 23,1941 – January 14, 1995), Dr. Wilson was a former Professor of Psychology at the City University of New York. He would argue that "only a systematic correction in consciousness can help people, who were taught to think as slaves, and to truly escape bondage."

Dr. Amos N Wilson, the renowned author who penned books such as “The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child,” and "Blueprint for Black Power," posed five simple questions.

If Wilson’s questions are answered truthfully, they reveal and monitor Maafa Syndrome as the enslaved mindset, still within many People of African Descent.

1. What Language Do You Speak?

Language is critical to the expression of culture because it’s a way to express the values, beliefs, and customs of a people. It is fundamental to cultural identity, and if people forget their native tongue, they lose an important aspect of their culture and a piece of who they are. This is fundamental to why people must keep their own languages alive.
When Indigo people were forced to adopt the languages of the English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, etc., in the United States, in essence, they were forced to abandon their own worldview and accept a foreign/alien one, that regarded them as subordinate, and that they were only present, to support the interest and economy of colonist. The mentality that allowed this relationship to happen still exists among us today. It is imperative, that Indigo people pursue their own thoughts, expressions, and Communities. Our rich African languages are alive and are the mother tongue of all other languages. learning to speak multiple languages at a young age, enhances the intelligence and capacity for social interaction and successful communication. It also reduces senility in older ages.



2. What Kind of Clothes Do You Wear?

Fashion has always played an important role in African culture. The styles, patterns, and weaves of clothing often held Scientific, mathematical, spiritual, and mythical significance. In addition, some of the most beautiful garments in the world were crafted by the hands of African crafters. Clothing, Threads, and Fabric are tied to the land and the resources of that land, that a community owns. Many brought their skills to Europe and the Americas, like leathercraft, Indigo dye, tapestry, lacework, and even Patchwork Quilting. dye comes from the Motherland of Afrika. Indigo purple was one owed exclusively by the royal families. Now Indigo dye is exploitable and commonly used for the color of work clothing like denim jeans. The skills of Indigenous people were often exploited as just another source of income for those who incarcerated people of African Descent.









Black people obviously were not able to wear their traditional garments under captivity. Instead, they were provided European styled rags of clothing, often the cheapest and least durable available.

Today, for the most part, Black people have held onto their instinct for elaborate fashion, but for many, Black people have been colonized in their thinking through plagiarized, and alien religious beliefs of Aryan, Asians, and Europeans. So traditional African clothing is thought of as strange and undesirable by our own Afrikan communities, as Europeans perceived it hundreds of years ago. In addition, we are loyal to clothing brands originating outside our communities. These Artificial polyesters and acrylic fabrics are very toxic and dehydrating on our skin and hair.

We must return to our own industry and production, growing and processing our own Cotton, Flax, Hemp, Indigo, Wool, and Leather.





3. What Names Do You Answer To? 

After Indigo people were kidnapped from their lands in America or brought to the Americas from Africa, they had to continue to endure terrorism and a number of brutal crimes against them. One was being stripped of the names they were given in their native languages and communities. This forced abandonment of their family and heritage destroyed a vital link that tied people of African descent to their countries of origin and disconnected them from their cultural history that dated back further than that of their enslavers.
Rather than being called by the traditional and beautiful names that recorded who they were and where they were from, Afrikans were given names that presented them as property. I recall the infamous scene when Kunta Kente was beaten until he excepted the name "Toby." If there were more than one slave with the same name in any given group, they were assigned various identifiers such as “little” or “big,” so each would know who was being called for.


Since slavery was officially abolished, some Blacks have shed the European names that were once forced upon them and have adopted African Names.







4. What Food Do You Eat?

During the Trans Atlantic War, those who incarcerated our people as prisoners of war would work captured Africans with long work hours, cramped quarters, and harsh punishments. They lived their lives from day to day in desperation, neglect, and hunger. They were stripped of their cultural ties, Equatorial sunshine, and tropical nutrients. Many have now chosen by habit to consume these slave foods, as a reminder of their ancestors' struggles. Many of the foods like Cow tongue, Catfish, Oxtail, Pork Ribs, Bacon, Chitterlings, and other Pork products, for instance, have become delicacies with a high price per pound at the market place. Yet, people of African descent are presently dying from the caustic effects of these foods, with high blood pressure, strokes, Diabetes, Heart Attack, and Cancers leading the death toll before homicide. 




The Amen Par Ankh (sacred temple of life) was established to promote health and wellness in the most desolate areas in Kansas City, MO. to remove the hand of disease and Death for Indigo African Americans.

We can have sustainable urban communities! This starts with Feeding ourselves! 

IN ORDER TO FREE OURSELVES WE MUST FEED OURSELVES!


WE MUST GROW OUR OWN FOODS! Taking back our involvement with what we consume and feed to our families is the most empowering action we can take. We used to have victory gardens, as a way of preparing for disaster and being responsible to our families and community. Even the act of having a container garden full of herbs that can be grown indoors is an excellent start. Grounding with the earth, "sticking a seed in the ground" and watching it grow from a seedling to full bloom is one of the most gratifying and fulling relationships that anyone can have.  If you are not ready to connect with nature and the foods you consume, then purchase your food, locally from local growers as often as possible. 
Participate and seek out and get to know your urban growers and agriculturalist and locally grown food markets. amen.ankh@live.com (816)281-7704 

 
When a pig was slaughtered, the entrails, feet, hide, and head “from the rooter to the tooter” was all that was left. This included pig’s feet, skin- Cracklins, and intestines- chitterlings. In modern times, people still partake of this type of food, even though it has been determined to be unhealthy.  https://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2014/11/holiday-health-death-to-life-foods-for.html 

The Traditional diet of people of African descent was predominantly Mediterranean, and rich with tropical fruits and vegetables.

5. Can You Name One African Spiritual System?

Catholics, Christians, Islamic, and Jews sanctioned the enslavement and Indoctrination Christian/Islam Religions on to people of African descent. In the process, African peoples were forced to abandon their own spiritual systems. To adopt the European version of Christianity and Aryan Islam is like jumping from the frying pan into the flame.

Africans had their own religions and concepts of God. Today many of the fears and negative feelings we have towards spiritual systems of our ancestors are a direct result of the anti-African ideology, that was taught and harshly enforced on the plantations.





































One of the most egregious acts committed by the racist system of religious thought was the formation of the image of a caucasian man as the ‘son’ of God and later transformed as God in the flesh and spirit. This caucasian male image, which is referred to as "Christ" and is still worshiped by many ethnic African Diaspora cultures of people around the world today, helps to foster a belief that implies that the Caucasian man is white, innocent, just, perfect, good, supreme and the only source of blessings.


We must apply the principles of MAAT and the Nguzo Saba to heal ourselves!
