Maafa Syndrome

Maafa Syndrome

This topic of Stockholm Syndrome has aroused current attention when it was mentioned recently by Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick was a topic of media hype, in concern with the NFL draft picks "blue" balling. The irony is in the media's selection of particular athletes, to shame and shun Colin Kaepernick. These athletes were themselves stricken with shady controversial pasts.

Yet, I challenge that this condition or syndrome, did NOT make its first appearance, through the trauma of the hostage victims of Stockholm, in the early 1970s. The annals of the Arab and Aryan Western world of imperialism have had a long-standing history of oppression, terror, capture, and hostage-taking. This history has always revealed a compromise between its relationship with its paralyzing parasitic nature and its human hosts.

I would like to introduce the use of the term Maafa syndrome, in the context of the history of Arab and Aryan invaders, who fathered and fostered colonialism. Maafa is a Swahili word for "A terrible disaster."  Many people of the African diaspora use this phrase to describe the psychological, physical, Spiritual and cultural trauma that was waged against people of color throughout the planet. Massive populations died in resistance. Yet many surrendered in compromise. Many women who were raped, by invaders, to later raised their children, the many orphaned children, etc., who were captured and controlled by their oppressors, were forced to participate and live in incarceration, to craft a workforce that would live their lives under abuse, torture, terrorism, duress, and perpetual survival mode. The term Maafa Syndrome then, acculturates the historical trauma of African people, upon their early encounters with Asian and Aryan invaders.

Maafa Syndrome: is essentially defined as the total identification of a victim, with their victimizer, assailant, oppressor, for the hope of favor...

Colonialism is inherently an act of Maafa syndrome, in that noble Afrikan rulers, were forced to compromise, and deferred their centuries-old, power and control to oppressive despots for indirect rule, under the direct threat of mass extermination and genocide.

Stockholm syndrome (sometimes referred to as Helsinki syndrome) is a condition that causes hostages to develop a psychological alliance with their captors as a survival strategy during captivity. These feelings, resulting from a bond formed between captor and captive(s) during intimate time spent together, are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Generally speaking, Stockholm syndrome consists of "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other." The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System shows that roughly eight percent of victims show evidence of Stockholm syndrome.
Formally named in 1973 when four hostages were taken during a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, Stockholm syndrome is also commonly known as "capture bonding". The syndrome's title was developed when the victims of the Stockholm bank robbery defended their captors after being released and would not agree to testify in court against them. Stockholm syndrome's significance arises because it is based on a paradox, as captives' sentiments for their captors are the opposite of the fear and disdain an onlooker may expect to see as a result of trauma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

There are four key components that generally lead to the development of Stockholm syndrome: a hostage's development of positive feelings towards their captor, no previous hostage-captor relationship, a refusal by hostages to cooperate with police forces and other government authorities, and a hostage's belief in the humanity of their captor, for the reason that when a victim holds the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be perceived as a threat.

Stockholm syndrome is considered a "contested illness," due to many judicial and law enforcement officers' doubt about the legitimacy of the condition.

An aspect of Maafa Syndrome is Assimilation to the Western world to the extent of total disowning of the victim's traditional Way of life.

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 also introduce some of their own cultural traits to that society.
*Assimilation usually involves a gradual change of varying degree.
*Full assimilation occurs when new members of a society become indistinguishable from main members.
Immigrant assimilation is one of the most common forms of assimilation and is a very complex process.

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

Socioeconomic status is defined by educational attainment, occupation, and income.
Spatial concentration is defined by geography or residential patterns.
Language attainment refers to the ability to speak English and the loss of the individual’s mother tongue.
Intermarriage involves marriage across racial, ethnic, or, occasionally, generational lines.
Segmented assimilation states that there are three main paths of assimilation for second-generation immigrants: some assimilate smoothly, others experience downward assimilation, and others experience rapid economic success while preserving the values of their cultural community.

Maafa Syndrome is not to be mistaken with

*POST TRAUMATIC SLAVE SYNDROME

As a result of twelve years of quantitative and qualitative research, Dr. DeGruy has developed her theory of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, and published her findings in the book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome – America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing”. The book addresses the residual impacts of generations of slavery and opens up the discussion of how the black community can use the strengths we have gained in the past to heal in the present.

WHAT IS P.T.S.S.?P.T.S.S. is a theory that explains the etiology of many of the adaptive survival behaviors in African American communities throughout the United States and the Diaspora. It is a condition that exists as a consequence of multigenerational oppression of Africans and their descendants resulting from centuries of chattel slavery. A form of slavery which was predicated on the belief that African Americans were inherently/genetically inferior to whites. This was then followed by institutionalized racism which continues to perpetuate injury.

Thus, resulting in M.A.P.:

• M: Multigenerational trauma together with continued oppression;
• A: Absence of opportunity to heal or access the benefits available in the society; leads to
• P: Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome.

Dr. Amos N. Wilson said it best:

LOVE FOR AND MIS-IDENTIFICATION WITH THE AGGRESSOR: The ultimate point of racism and for racism to really work well, it must involve the internalization of racism (IDENTIFICATION WITH THE AGGRESSOR). It is not what whites have said (say) to and about us, it is not their scandalization of our African forms, features, and personalities; it is not all of the miserable things that they have done (do) to us per se. The main problem is the way we have reacted to those things (COUNTERPRODUCTIVELY). It is not the LIES that they have told (tell), it is our believing in the LIES (FALSIFIED CONSCIOUSNESS). Once we believe the LIES and once we let whites get us to believe the scandals that they have made up about us, then we become participants in the very process (SOCIAL AGENTS OF WHITE DOMINATION). We then become self-degrading; we become degrading to people like ourselves (SELF-DESTRUCTIVE).

The thing that we must struggle with more than ANYTHING ELSE, even more than racism, is internalized racism (SELF-HATRED). Because it is through internalized racism that we actually participate in our own oppression (SELF-OPPRESSING). When we talk about colorism, self-alienating, self-defeating, self-annihilating etc., attitudes and behaviors among Africans globally, it is primarily the result of the internalization of racism. Therefore, it is the recruiting of Africans to maintain our own oppression, which is the reason why we have to truthfully (re)identify with our African selves (RE-AFRICANIZATION) to remove and not internalize white racism. Consequently, we will not engage in self-alienating, self-defeating, self-annihilating, etc., attitudes and behaviors. – Dr Amos Wilson (1988)

SOLUTIONS

Dr. Amos Wilson offered 5 challenging questions for people of African Descent, in order to awaken and reconnect with their re-acculturation to African Society; He asks:
What Language do you speak?
What Names do you answer to?
What Foods do you eat?
What Clothes do you wear?
Can You name 1 African God?

These questions are meant as a call to consciousness, to recognize the core of the assimilation process in a person, and how we can be able to transform and heal from mental enslavement.

Easter The Real Meaning of the Festival of Spring

Easter- The East-Star Festival of Renewal

By: Nuta Moses Amen-Ra (C) 2010

Scarab Beetle (khepera) (Scarabaeus sacer) 

The Holy day of the East-Star was originally a celebration of renewal and rebirth for original people and ancient Ancestors. We are The Children of the Sun, the burnt skinned people known as KMT. As with most of our holidays, the celebration of life  is prominent. Our ancestors Were Agriculturalist, Builders, Hunters, Explorers, Merchants, Spiritual Travelers and stewards of the planet. Celebrating the return of early spring, honors the Mother Nature goddess known in many cultures as Ast or Auset(Isis) Ma, Eostra, Oestera, Eastre(Esther), Ishtar, Oshun, Yemaya, Het-Heru, Hathor, Aurora, or Adonis... 

Although every morning the sun "Ra" rises in the east, Easter occurs after the Vernal Equinox event on the 1st Sunday after the full moon.

In Ancient African Societies, The pregnant mothers were thought to have conceived their Children from Ra the Sun.  Goddess Auset was the first Queen Mother to experience  immaculate conception. Her husband was killed by his jealous Brother, so she had to resurrect her husband's energy after his death. Her Son- Heru was also considered the Rising Sun and the Son of the Sun (Nsdbity). 

Watching the cycles of Nature one sees that Ra the sun, Tefnut- air, atmosphere, and Nu- rain brings life to Geb- Earth, so ancient cultures saw, Nut as Heaven, and Ma as Earth Mother.

Nut the Celestial sky goddess, swallows Ra the sun at dusk and gives birth to the sun at dawn daily. Throughout the night there is a battle between Heru and his infamous Uncle Set or Sebek for the conquest of Light and Enlightenment. Every morning Heru-(Later known as Horus or Hero- and even later forms of KRST throughout the world) Becomes the victor to raise the sun with the help of Tehuti, Auset and Ausar!

  
There is a whole pantheon of stories related to the Celestial and seasonal events. The Spring is one of these joyous occasions.

Earth has been referred to as Mother since ancient times as “Mother Earth” and “Mother Nature.”

Another symbol of spring and renewal, was the Scarab Beetle (khepera) (Scarabaeus sacer). This beetle was famous for his habit of rolling balls of dung along the ground and depositing them in its burrows. First, the female would lay her eggs in the ball of dung. When they hatched, the larvae would use the ball for food. When the dung was consumed the young beetles would emerge from the hole.

It seemed that the young scarab beetles emerged spontaneously from the burrow where they were born. Therefore they were worshiped as "Khepera", "he who came forth." This creative aspect of the scarab was associated with the creator god Atum. Millions of amulets and stamp seals of stone, ceramic or other materials, were fashioned in the depiction of the scarab beetle.

The ray-like antenna on the beetle's head and its practice of dung-rolling caused the beetle to also carry solar symbolism. The scarab-beetle god Khepera was believed to push the setting sun along the sky in the same manner as the beetle with his ball of dung. In many artifacts, the scarab is depicted pushing the sun along its course in the sky.

During and following the New Kingdom, scarab amulets were often placed over the heart of the mummified deceased. These "heart scarabs" (such as the one pictured above) were meant to be weighed against the feather of truth during the final judgment. The amulets were often inscribed with a spell from the Book of the Dead which entreated the heart to, "do not stand as a witness against me."

The union of the Sun-Ra and Auset brought forth a son Heru symbolic of abundant crops, as the rains from the sky met the welcoming earth. Festivals like “The Marriage Feast of Canaan” were Spring fertility rites in ancient times which celebrated Pregnancy, the dawn of spring and fertility. The dawn of the Sun Star was in the east, so Sunrise celebrations centered on growth and renewal were celebrated. Growers celebrated to petition for abundant crops, and eggs were eaten and exchanged as talismans.

 Easter is exceptional depending on where you live in proximity to the Equator. There are only 3 seasons, instead of 4 for those living near the equator.

Other Names of Spring Goddess:

With brightening and longer days after vernal equinox,  was known as the Great Mother Goddess of the North in Europe. She is a goddess of dawn and spring, and her name derives from dawn, the light arising from East. The word, East and the female hormone, estrogen is related to her.

The Rite of Spring,

Eastre’s male consort was Ra (the Sun god), and rites of spring were celebrated in her honor on the first day of spring. Celebrations were on the first full moon following vernal equinox. The full moon represents a “pregnant” phase of Eastre, passing into fertility to give birth to the Sun’s offspring.

“Eastre” is derived from the direction East, and the Spring Goddess is associated with dawn. Eastre is related to the Indo-European Hausos, Goddess of dawn, and the Roman and Greek Goddesses, Aurora and Eos. In German Austron means dawn, derived from Aus, “to shine.” The ancient word for Spring was Eastre, and Goddesses in many cultures are celebrated as the bearer of springtime. Many Goddesses and Gods are represented as spring deities:

Aphrodite ~ Cyprus

Ashtoreth ~ Israel

Astarte ~ Greece

Auset/Ast and Heru ~ Kemet (Egypt)

Demeter ~ Mycenae
Het-Heru (Neb-Het/ Hathor)~ KMT (Egypt)
Ishtar ~ Assyria

Kali ~ India

Ostara ~ Norse Goddess of fertility

The Middle East celebrate many Spring festivals, including the Iranian Nowruz, ascension of the mythological king of Persia. Commemorated by Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, India, Turkey, Zanzibar, Albania, Kurds, and central Asia, it is a Zoroastrian holiday, and celebrated by Baha’i’ and Nizari Ismaili Muslims.

Sham El Nessim has been celebrated since 2700 B.C. the ancients celebrated this creation story with a feast at the Great Pyramid. The feast of Shemu, means ‘renewal of life’ later changed to Shu/‘shaam’ (smelling or breathing) and ‘nessim’ (breeze). Sham El Nessim is celebrated as a national holiday, and is celebrated by Christians and Muslims as “Easter Monday”.

Rabbits & Eggs

Easter represents renewal and fertility. Eggs and rabbits were considered sacred. Rabbits are potent symbol of fertility, as a female rabbit can conceive a second litter while still pregnant with the first! 

The Earth in Spring is filled with fertility and awakening. Many people Bless their homes, Newborn Babies and get married during this season and many children are born during this time. The egg is an obvious symbol, of rebirth since ancient times. The hare was a sacred animal of the Spring Moon. At vernal equinox an egg, is the symbol of New Life.

In current times Easter is just another re-enactment ritual for the massacre of our Sacred Indigo Queen Mother Womb- of Mankind and our Black Indigo KRSTal Children in Europe! This is why they "hunt" for Chocolate and "Colored" Eggs! This is the REAL anti-KRST who has come onto the world to steal from our Ancient civilizations and replace our spirituality with their religions, then to destroy our way of life and finally to kill our Heru KRSTs who are rising or resurrecting in the world! http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2014/07/black-male-youth-are-krst.html 

The 3 day Je-w+Zeus death/ crucifixion and resurrection reenactment was thrown in to exacerbate the ongoing lynching of people of color and to promote the inception of terror to maintain the status quo of slavery.

Remember that many people were killed or executed by lynching at that same site; Golgotha or Calvary, and on that same day, he didn't die alone. This was a ritual site for human sacrifice. Many people have been and are still being terminated even though they are innocent of any crime. They become martyrs for a cause. Lynching is crucifixion. Public Execution is now done by  the officers of another unjust system who choose to also act as judge and jury and their method of choice is a gun.

Our Mother Earth

Earth is referred to as Mother since ancient times: “Mother Earth” and “Mother Nature.” Watching the cycles of Nature one sees that rain falling brings life to Earth, so ancient cultures saw Father as Heaven, and Earth as Mother.

The union of the Sun-Ra and Auset brought forth the immaculate conception of a son Heru symbolic of abundant crops, as the rains from the sky met the welcoming earth. Festivals like “The Marriage Feast of Canaan” were Spring fertility rites in ancient times which celebrated Pregnancy. Many families would marry during this celebration.

Sunrise celebrations centered on growth and renewal. Growers celebrated to petition for abundant crops, and eggs were eaten and exchanged as talismans.

The middle east celebrates many Spring festivals, including the Iranian Nowruz, ascension of the mythological king of Persia. Commemorated by Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, India, Turkey, Zanzibar, Albania, Kurds, and central Asia, it is a Zoroastrian holiday, and celebrated by Baha’i’ and Nizari Ismaili Muslims.

Sham El Nessim has been celebrated since 2700 B.C. the ancients celebrated this creation story with a feast at the Great Pyramid. The feast of Shemu, means ‘renewal of life’ later changed to Shu/‘shaam’ (smelling or breathing) and ‘nessim’ (breeze). Sham El Nessim is celebrated as a national holiday, and is celebrated by Christians and Muslims as “Easter Monday”.

 

So essentially Easter is the celebration of the fertile womb and the lunar menstrual cycle. Easter was not always celebrated as the Ascension Christ from the dead; the meaning of Easter was quite different from what Christians celebrate today. Long before the name of Jesus, many peoples associated this festival with the coming back to life of the god of the earth Ta-mmuz (see Ezek 8:14,) also known as Geb, Ausar, Adonis Orpheus or Perseus, who had been dead in the underworld during the winter to rise in the spring. The name by which Christians still celebrate the festival is the name of the ancient fertility goddess Eastre, Ishtar, Auset, or Ashtoreth (whose name also survives in the name of one of the books of the Old Testament, the only Bible book that contains no reference to God - the Book of Esther).

Ausar is considered the god who conquered the underworld. Heru, the first to be born by Immaculate conception from Auset, Is considered to be the reborn sun in the east. 

Easter was originally (and still is) a celebration of the fertility of the earth, renewed each springtime. The egg, the chick, the rabbit, the flowers, are all fertility symbols (and much older than this latest Christian symbol). Its celebration has often been marked by sexual exuberance, pregnancy and new birth, as is still prominent in the pre-Lenten Carnivals and Mardi Gras festivals and the phallic symbolism of the May pole and the cross. Easter was celebrated as a time of new life, Beauty, sunshine, and birth. So Jesus (in the Christian version of the myth) is just the latest in a long line of gods to symbolize new life through resurrection.

The precise date of Easter has at times been a matter for contention. By the later 2nd century, it was accepted that the celebration of the holiday was a practice of the disciples and an undisputed tradition.

The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March. So Easter is a movable feast, meaning it is not fixed on the calendar.  In Western Christianity, he date of Easter varies from 22 March to 25 April inclusive. churches in and around Rome observed the practice of celebrating Easter on the following Sunday calling it “the day of the resurrection of our Savior.”

 Eastern Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar, whose 21 March corresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, and in which therefore the celebration of Easter varies between 4 April and 8 May. Initially, in the early days,

 The specific day on which the resurrection should be celebrated became a major point of contention within the church.

 If his resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him, when was he crucified- To rise again in three days? Did he rise on the Sabbath or the first day of the week?

 It is the central tenet of Christian faith and theology and part of the Nicene Creed: "On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures.” The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of the Christian faith, according to the Apostle Paul, who even says that if Jesus Christ has not been resurrected then the Christian faith is worthless and futile (1 Cor. 15:14-17). Therefore, without Easter there is no Christianity.

 Historically, the Christian church, because it could not eradicate the celebration of what was considered a Pagan festival, reinterpreted it and assigned to it a new meaning, but was unable to erase completely its original significance. The egg and the rabbit,  and the phallic pole, has persisted to be loved and celebrated as the new life which the spring brings.

At Amen Par Ankh We celebrate The Vernal Equinox as the ending of winter. Now the Days will be longer and the nights will grow shorter until the Summer Solstice. We begin planting during the First New Moon. This is a time when we Glean new life and Ground  from the soft land, Sprout fresh seeds for planting and sun-gaze to reset our 3rd eye from the winter.
