African Awake! Teach the Youth
What are we doing as Afrikan Awake conscious people to engage our youth? Are we raising and encouraging our Heru KRSTs, like Auset and Tehuti did, for Heru- to model and memorize after our own strong Goddess Queen Mothers and God Kings in spiritual Ki -Chakra Kundalini of our own Afrikan Culture? Our youth are our Indigo Golden Seeds- Their Spirits need a conscious outlet of expression unclouded by invader mentality and the Matrix of invader corporatakrazy- to grow up unplugged. Fail to plan- plan to fail.
Living consciously is not only about knowing the Glory of Our-Story (history) of our Ancient Ancestors. We must breathe new life back into our Ancestors by cultivating a living creative spiritual lifestyles!
How many of our families are naming their infants and newly born conscious souls, after a spiritual name that aligns with their destiny?
How many even know their Destiny and their Health, Career and Relationships from a spiritual Elder?
How many conscious families Meditate, Pray together or practice Breathing, Martial arts, Massage, Listen to music together, or even, play, sing, dance, draw or paint together?
Do you read to your children? What choices of books do you share?
Do you have vision boards in common to envision a place together in your future?
How many of our families EAT and drink together? What are we feeding our youth? Are we growing our own foods and healing herbs? Know that the Mind Soul and Body are connected.
There are now an abundance of Alternative healing resources available for people to live prosperously.
Do we celebrate the seasons of life- The Equinoxes and Solstices?
Do we take nature walks and commune with the universe like Stargazing, Sun watching, Moongazing visiting spiritual centers like mounds or caves?
Do we bless our homes and new businesses with a Spiritual Elder who can cleanse and bring good spirits to your environments? We should employ and seek the counsel of our elders in all new matters and concerns...
took my Grand Prince- who I named Heru to the Nelson Atkins Museum and Showed him the sculptures of his namesake- Heru, Auset and Ausar. I named them right in front of everyone and debunked the "Isis" "Osiris" "Horus" Titles.
My Prince Heru is a Grower at the Amen Ankh Urban Farm Cooperative and is learning, meditating, creating and reading at the AMEN PAR ANKH Sacred Temple of Life. He is a Naturalist, a talented Artist and Recycler.
"We must teach our youth true knowledge of self to empower them with a legacy of wealth." Adenike Amen-Ra
Along with Meditating, Eating Org-Ankh foods, living within a Maafia- (the original East Afrikan word for "a Healthy Place to Live" he is learning about his destiny and purpose, in cultivating his talents!

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING- LEFT BRAIN VS RIGHT BRAIN MASTERY
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING....LEFT BRAIN VS. RIGHT BRAIN MASTERY
Christine Nabria Mckenzie
"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.
The will ... is the driving force of the mind. If it's injured, the mind falls
to pieces." -ROBERTSON DAVIES & AUGUST STRINDBERG
A mind was given to you to USE not against yourself but against the things that try to oppress its existence! FIGHT BACK... KNOW that your VESSEL & its parts and how VERY valuable it is! It shouldn’t be taken for granted many cant OVERSTAND why they are very successful in one point of their life meaning the material & don’t have the spiritual some vice versa that’s simply because they don’t know how to make both parts work for them to take them to the next level of overstanding but certain parts of our body need more attention than other parts that can withstand many strenuous situations! SO, KNOW THYSELF & LEARN HOW TO MASTER YOUR LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT.... THIS IS ONE OF THE OPENINGS TO THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SPIRITUAL MASTERY!!!!

SO, KNOW THYSELF & LEARN HOW TO MASTER YOUR LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT.... THIS IS ONE OF THE OPENINGS TO THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SPIRITUAL MASTERY!!!!
Make a Left Brain Right Brain Switch
So, how do we work from our right brain? Barring brain
injury, we all have the ability to access our right brain, and do it all the
time. It's just that our ability to consciously make the "switch" has
been dormant. Here's a list of ways to help make the switch from left brain
mode to right brain mode:
Play music (without words)
Walk around the room with eyes closed
Daydream on a time you had fun (vacation, sports, etc)
Pick up juggling
Put your notes/ideas in a mind map
Doodle, play with your pen
Use your non-dominant hand to write, brush your teeth, etc
Journal your feelings and your random thoughts
Learn Photo Reading, you "read" using both sides
of your brain
The absolute best way I know how to develop this is to get
the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"
The idea is to start thinking in terms of images and away
from numbers and words when trying to think in right brain mode. Good artists
do this better than most of us.
Left Brain Exercises
Now, how do we work on the left brain? Most of us won't have
a difficult time accessing left bran mode, but here are a few exercises to that
use your Left Brain:
Play with Crosswords puzzles
Do Math exercises
Play Number puzzles like Sudoku
Do Memory Retention exercises
Play Spelling games
Get some brain teasers
To summarize the left brain right brain theory; your left
brain is the logical, sequential brain that's actually the slower part of your
brain. The right side of your brain thinks in images, and sees the big picture,
and is the faster side of your brain. Because of culture and influence, most of
us have a strong left-brain thinking, but there are ways to consciously switch
to right brain mode.

Colonial Mentality
I have always been inspired by the music and the open candor of Fela Kuti. He shared an episode, where he was checked about his colonized attitudes and schooled about human Rights and Black Empowerment. She taught him that his put downs about his African superiority had to be balanced by how far removed he was about his own original cultural connection to the Ancestors and how much he has assimilated to his European Colonizer. As Fela was receptive to her self awareness, he had an epiphany that challenged his thinking throughout his music career. Here is an excerpt from one of his many biographies...
"While in America, Fela met an African American woman named, Sandra Izsadore, a political activist and close friend of prominent members of the Black Panthers, who was to be a big influence on his thinking. She introduced Fela to the writings of Malcolm X, Eldridge Cleaver, and others through which he became aware of the link existing between Black peoples all over the world. With this insight, Fela also gained a clearer understanding of his mother’s fight for the rights of Africans under colonial rule in Nigeria, together with her support of the Pan Africanist doctrine expounded by Kwame Nkrumah, the Ghanaian head of state, who had negotiated independence for his country with the British."
The Truth is, Black People were the FIRST to inhabit Europe! WE were the original Druids and the Le Pr Ra Khans! We built Stonehenge, before the Isfit came as cannibal pathological invaders, bringing their plagues to become the Jew-Gypsy thieves, perpetrators and culture bandits of our Way of life, expert knowledge, symbols and Colors! Red, White and Blue- Stands for the Trinity- Heru, Ausar and Auset!
Imperialism still has a stranglehold on the populations of people of color of this world and the destruction of the environment.
The deeper issues are between mentality and belief systems. You have Colonized Assimilationist, Fundamentalists vs Free thinking Afrikan Centered, vs Niggas. After AIDS, our people are now killing themselves in the Motherland over these adopted fundamental philosophies of their colonial invaders. This is the same pervasive divide and conquer syndrome happening all over the world. The media still presents the Bling-Bling sagging-Niggas or (neo-coonz) with the “hoochi mama” as the Stereotypes of the “Akata”. In Afrika, and the U.S., you have Fundamentalist one-up-manship of writhing on the floor, speaking in tongues, Mega Churches with their witch hunts, and Jihad Fundamentalist witch hunts, featuring Torture and chaining Pregnant Mothers to the floor to give birth- because they refuse to renounce their Imperialist, fundamentalist Christian beliefs! Yet Africans want to Imitate and model the media hyped “Niggas and Bs” standards, with their perms, weaves, cosmetics and other consumerisms- sayin “ Twerking comes from Afrika” Samuel Jackson’s Character said it best- about the contributions of U.S. Blacks… The standard that they love to hate…
Thomas Sankara was one of the great revolutionaries who took on the power struggle of Imperialism. We are counting on our youth to pickup the baton of global revolution.

Memorial Day
Memorial Day was started by Black People on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, South Carolina to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated.

The Zinn Education Project published an article about
Memorial Day, or “Decoration Day”, written by David W. Blight. According to
him, "The First Decoration Day" was led by people who had recently
been freed from slavery in Charleston, SC on May 1, 1865.
At the end of the Civil War, "Thousands of black
Charlestonians, most former slaves, remained in the city and conducted a series
of commemorations to declare their sense of the meaning of the war. The largest
of these events, and unknown until some extraordinary luck in my recent
research, took place on May 1, 1865. During the final year of the war, the
Confederates had converted the planters’ horse track, the Washington Race
Course and Jockey Club, into an outdoor prison. Union soldiers were kept in horrible
conditions in the interior of the track; at least 257 died of exposure and
disease and were hastily buried in a mass grave behind the grandstand. Some
twenty-eight black workmen went to the site, re-buried the Union dead properly,
and built a high fence around the cemetery. They whitewashed the fence and
built an archway over an entrance on which they inscribed the words, “Martyrs
of the Race Course.” "
Black Soldiers who gave their salaries to establish Lincoln College as a Historical Black University for Agriculture |
Here is another account…
"Memorial Day holds a special place for many Americans,
especially those who serve in the nation’s military. While past and current
members of the armed forces are most certainly honored, what few realize is
that the practice of celebrating America’s soldiers gained popularity due to a
group of freed Blacks in the South.
In the town of
Charleston in South Carolina, the celebration of what was called “Decoration
Day” was held to give respects to fallen soldiers from the Union ...Army in the
North. The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, with the Union victorious over its
Confederate foes. In order to celebrate the victory and honor the dead, on May
1 of that year around 10,000 freed Black men and women gathered in historic
Hampton Park.
The group placed
flowers on the graves of unknown soldiers, a practice held often in times of
war. The event caught the attention of the nation, and it was largely
understood by Whites to be a celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation
passing in 1863. However, it was far more than that for those gathered. The
town was a Confederate stronghold, and over 250 soldiers died as prisoners
there as Union forces began to overtake the region. The Confederate soldiers
buried the dead in unmarked graves and fled in fear. The freed Blacks who came
to the Decoration Day event viewed those soldiers as martyrs who died
selflessly for their freedom. While their were Black soldiers in the Union
Army, the celebration was in honor of all who fought for the winning side.
David Blight, a
history professor at Yale University, has credited the Black population of
Charleston as the inventors of the first Memorial Day celebration although
other cities have made similar claims in attempts to dispute Blight’s research.
Still, most historians agree that it is at least the first widely recognized
celebration of fallen soldiers in history."
