Kamet's Tree is Chemistry

The Baobab Tree of Life!

There’s something sacred about Baobab Trees.

For quite a while, I have been fascinated with the image of the baobab tree. Trees and plant life have always been a facination in my mind.

The Baobab Tree reminds me of the Story of Ausar.

http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-ausar-resurrection.html 

Goddess Nut, the mother of the Stars, created 4 days at the end of the year by giving birth to 4 children, Ausar (December 21st), Auset his wife (December 22nd), Sistar Het Heru (December 23rd) and his Brother Set (December 24th). Ausar became a benevolent ruler of the planet, who brought great abundance and prosperity. He created Heaven on Earth. Set, the baby brother was very spoiled and selfish. He grew jealous of Ausar's popularity and thought he could steal his brother's kingdom and fame. 

One day, Ausar and Auset had a grand wedding feast. Set had a gold lined Chest carved for Ausar's wedding gift. He convinced Ausar to collaborate in a magic trick, and had Ausar lay inside the heavy Golden Chest. Set immediately locked Ausar alive in the Chest, and dump him into the Nile river! Distraught, in grief and horror, Auset was never able to consummate her marriage! She ran away and went to the Nile river, looking for her husband until days turned into weeks and weeks into months. 

Even in death, Ausar made his presence known in abundance and prosperity! Auset finally learned that Ausar's wooden chest had grown into a great Baobab tree of Life right off a bank of the Nile river. All of the land around the tree grew prosperous and abundant. A farmer built his compound and community around the Baobab tree. The tree was so large, part of the trunk was carved into the farmer's bedchambers, where his newborn sun was born. So, Auset humbled herself and was hired as a nursemaid for the Farmer's wife. She finally convinced the farmer's family to dig down to the roots of the tree to remove her husband's body.

Ausar symbolizes all things green and growing.
Ausar represents the morning sunrise.
Ausar represents the 1st day of the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21st)
Ausar also represents the greatest version of ourselves- to endure and overcome all obstacles.
Ausar is anything in nature that lives, then dies, then is reborn.
Ausar also represents Every discipline and thriving achievement manifesting from humanity, found all over the globe!

 

This is a deeply spiritual principle caught in Our-Story of Ancient African Intelligent design and the foundation of all civilizations. The principle is this:
In life you can go through some difficult times. In order to change the circumstances a “new you” (Heru) has to be reborn. The “old you” (Set) has to die and it might even break you up. But even in the death of the “old you” life contains the seed germ (Ausar) of the “new you(Heru).” You may not see the germination stage while underground but then you are resurrected and reborn into a new and stronger self.

In other words, Life/Shift Happens- the rotten things (fertilizer) you go through in life helps you grow.

 

I was introduced to the baobab tree in the story of the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery.


The symbolism and allegory of the tree is rich with meaning and helps me to think of metaphysical axes.

It is hard not to marvel at the awesome possibilities of growth that these trees show yet paradoxically they are the upside down tree.

Knowledge and wisdom are like the trunk of the baobab tree.


No one person's arm span is great enough to encompass them.


Saying from Ghana



There are many myths and legend about the Baobab tree:


One African legend of the Baobab tree describes what happens if you are never satisfied with what you have:

"The baobab was among the first trees to appear on the land. Next came the slender, graceful palm tree. When the baobab saw the palm tree, it cried out that it wanted to be taller.
Then the beautiful flame tree appeared with its red flower and the baobab was envious for flower blossoms.
When the baobab saw the magnificent fig tree, it prayed for fruit as well. God became tired of the complaints and so yanked it up by its roots, and placed it upside down to keep it quiet."
All the animals were alarmed, and so was the huge tree. For after that, the magnificent tree only grew leaves once a year.
The other months the roots seemed to bend and grow towards the sky.


“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky; we fell them down and turn them into paper, that we may record our emptiness.” Khalil Gibran

The baobab is one of nature's remarkable creations and has evolved to make maximum use of the scarce resources around it, just like I imagine the early church to have been.

It is among the largest and longest lived trees on earth capable of growing to 98 feet tall and 36 - 60 feet wide.

It can survive long periods of drought with it's massive sponge like trunk that
which can be hollowed out to provide shelter.

The Baobab Tree is Kemet's Tree (Chemistry)!

When in leaf, its fruit provides Vitamin C and the leaves Vitamin A and it has more calcium than cow's milk.

It provides shade for all living things in the sub Saharan heat.

For millennia the baobab tree has provided a Market Place and a meeting place for dialogue,
sharing stories and debate of important issues and ideas.

 

It can undergo a huge amount of mutilation, and still continue to thrive and heal.

For some cultures it is the tree under which man was born.

It is a symbol of endurance, conservation, creativity, ingenuity and dialogue.

The great baobab tree — the tree of rest and resolution.

The five leaves of the Baobab Tree resemble an outstretched hand, hence its Latin name Adansonia Digitata, as if reaching out in friendship.

Baobabs create their own ecosystem with hollowed-out trunks, leaves, foliage, nectar, fruit, and bark providing habitats for many different creatures. This tree thrives in diversity.


The baobab's bark, leaves, fruit, and trunk are all used. The bark of the baobab is used for cloth and rope, the leaves for condiments and medicines, while the fruit, called "monkey bread", is eaten. Sometimes people live inside of the huge trunks, and bush-babies live in the crown.

It is not very often that you see a Baobab tree picture with leaves on the tree, usually only seen in a short rainy season for a couple of months.
Some baobabs can store up to 120,000 gallons of water from the rainy season to sustain themselves through the dry times.

When the long dry season returns the trees drop their leaves.

 A tree of life...redeeming, restoring...making all things new.
A tree that thinks of heaven.....
that provides so much for many

The tree holds out hope that whole cultures will be healed and mended, becoming places where people can flourish and it sets an agenda for faith as a way of life that contributes to that flourishing, in anticipation, here and now."

The baobab tree— the source of sustenance, spirituality, medicine, fuel, and identity for the villagers.


Rest of this wonderful review of it is here
Another extract from a film review from The Japan times says :

"For his new film, he went to the village of Touba Toul, 30 km west of Dakar, where he recorded the changing of the seasons and the planting of millet and peanuts, the two main crops. His focus, though, is the still abundant baobab.
The villagers feed the leaves to their animals, or dry and pound them into a nutritious powder called lalo; they pick up its fallen twigs for firewood, while using its bark to make rope, its pulp to make juice and its roots to make medicine; and they commune with the spirits of the dead that are said to inhabit it.


More and more Senegalese see the baobab not as a source of natural riches and spirituality, but as an impediment to the latest strip mine or real-estate scheme."

Let's sit down under the baobab tree

Children of African Descent Unsung in US Integration

I am one of the many thousands of children who were integrated into a United States public school system, with predominantly Caucasian students, during the mid-1960s School Desegregation period. These children went unsung and unmentioned in the history of Integration. For I was NOT escorted to a desegregated school side by side with US Marshalls or the National Guard like Ruby Bridges, or the Little Rock 9.  I had to face a gauntlet of racism, micro-aggression, bigotry, hatefulness, and ignorance ALONE every day of my childhood school years for more than a decade from Parents, Teachers, Staff, and Students. No, I did not march for or vote for Desegregation/Integration, because the marches and protests, and Supreme court rulings for the Desegregation initiative occurred in 1954 before I was born (1959). I was still a child in 1964 during the Civil Rights Act. 

I remember watching TV with my family as a little girl around 7-years-old, around 1966-67. The TV Show was called "The 21st Century." Walter Cronkite was a moderator. I was fascinated and so proud to see a husband and wife, of African Descendant on the screen, who were real Doctors practicing psychology! They were the Clarkes. The broadcast was about their Doll study with African Descendant children. These children were requested to respond to a series of questions, as they sat in front of 2 dolls. One doll had Dark Melanin complexion while the other doll had a lighter Caucasian Complexion. In retrospect the Clark study showed how devastated and traumatized, the psyche and self-identity of children of African descent had developed at such critical ages from 4 and 5 years old.

The Elephant in the room is the fact that the US-(United States) ESTABLISHED JIM CROW LAW SEGREGATION AGAINST PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT FOR 100 YEARS! Yet, they decimated EVERY Economically Prosperous -"Black Wall Street" community across the country:and lynched Black Men off of their lands, to create a mass exodus that goes undocumented in US history books!
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/.../freedom-riders-jim-crow-laws/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws

https://study.com/academy/lesson/jim-crow-laws-significance-facts-timeline.html

To think that the Clark Doll study was used in the Supreme Court, to justify the Integration of people of African Descent into a public society of racism, was very disturbing. To think that Children of African Decent were thought to be more traumatized by segregation, only to be even more traumatized by the bitter bigotry and raw hatefulness of Caucasian children, parents, and teachers; who were not able to escape the integration of the public sector through "white flight" like the elites, into religious and Economic planned communities, designed after the likes of J.C.Nichols.

Wikipedia: The Clarks were known for their 1940s experiments using dolls to study children's attitudes about race. The Clarks testified as expert witnesses in Briggs v. Elliott (1952), one of five cases combined into Brown v. Board of Education (1954). The Clarks' work contributed to the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in which it determined that de jure racial segregation in public education was unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote in the Brown v. Board of Education opinion, "To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone."[3]


Mamie and Kenneth Clark; Doll Study


Original Dolls for the Clark Doll Test

Many economically successful, segregated African American communities were destroyed by desegregation. "Their youth were uprooted from their own neighborhoods, teachers etc., then bussed to an alien Caucasian school to be taught by Caucasian teachers- to be laborers and service workers- They were NOT encouraged to excel and pursue scholarships and college level careers, or offered courses academically, to prepare them for higher-paying professional careers.

The issues of Segregation, De-segregation, Integration, voting rights, Jim Crow laws etc., occurred long before I was born. I didn't realize, the moment I watched this television show, of the Clark Doll Study, that this broadcast was going to become my path into the world as one of the many thousands of children of African Descent, who would be placed, or "integrated" into the many public schools across the country. This experience was traumatic, and depressing for me. Yet, in retrospect, to acknowledge that this subjection was quietly being disseminated upon all other little African American Children across the United States, by the State school systems all over the country, that mis-educated, not only children of African descent but all children who were in Social Studies and History classes, with a false narrative of white supremacy.

I was not escorted by a US Marshall or armed guard of any kind to lead or sit beside me as I faced the mental abuse, neglect, contempt, and the severe bigotry that I would be surrounded with from Teachers, Administrators, Parents, and Students in my tender Elementary school years, all the way to my high school and college years. My Mother and Father just dropped me and my siblings off to their respective grades, leaving us in the hands of these "people," from the tender age of 5 years old.

I remember washing my hair every day. I had to pull the spitballs and trash out of my Afro, after riding the bus from home to school and back again. I remember being isolated and alone, overlooked, ignored, not being called on when I raised my hand to participate in class, walking at the end of the line, screamed at, if I stepped out of line, or stood out in any way. During recess, I was ordered to stand against the fence and not be permitted to play on the playground equipment with the other students. I remember being forced to sit in the back of the class, and eating completely alone at a table to myself in the lunchroom. I endured this insensitive and often cruel treatment, day after day for, over a decade of my life. My siblings were my only friends.

My Father was In the Air Force military. So I was fortunate to be born overseas, able to travel and live overseas into my adolescence, in Germany. Racism was very severe under the confines of living on a military base. US Bigotry and stereotyping were pervasive. Yet the German Economy availed a different story. Many Germans were very welcoming and friendly. They showed a fascination with my color, much like an alien from Mars. Yet some revealed their old embedded hate as neo-Nazis. Many Germans were even approached and incited by racist Caucasian US Military, to show prejudice toward people of African descent. I later learned that Ancient people of African descent lived prolifically in the German region, and ruled and established the foundations of European civilizations.

I don't have a way to compare my experiences, in relation to students of African descent in the United States. All that I know is that I was expected to be quiet, still, and compliant. I remember being alone most of the day, just following the orders of apathetic neutral teachers, who displayed contempt, never a smile or courtesy. I now wonder how much more they were paid to be "tolerant." And what did this whole Desegregation experience say about the Teachers of African Descent, in their competency, love, and compassion to teach African American Children, and all children?

As my Father returned to the United States, Our family settled in Kansas City, Missouri, living in what was then a typical "WASP" (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) community. I never realized until I was near graduation, that every morning, for years, My Father would get up early in the morning, before we would leave for school, and completely wash down the front porch, and all of the exits of our house, because someone would throw garbage and feces against the sides of our house entrances- EVERY DAY!

I attended and graduated from Ruskin High School, which was at the time a predominantly WASP school. I remember being the only family of African Descent in the neighborhood and the only student of African descent in my assigned classrooms. No. I was not invited to Prom Night. I was not encouraged or permitted to attend the many extracurricular activities. Although I had excelled academically in school and was placed in AP classes, and took college courses while in high school, the only memorable extra activity that I was a part of and achieve in, was working with a young teacher in Art Club. She assisted me, to set up an artist display at a local community event, that was quite successful. There were many young teachers who were open and receptive, yet the old guard of Teachers were staunchly bigoted and insisted, as gatekeepers, to maintain the status quo of racism. I do not recall any teachers of African Descent, on staff. Ruskin was a college-prep high school. So, I attended Longview Community College, while still in high school, and graduated with an Associate Degree in Liberal Arts. Although I was not expected to attend college, according to the School counselor, my  Art teacher, Mr. Ferman, paved the way for me to receive a full-ride scholarship to Washington University. Yet, my parents refused to support me and turned down the scholarship. I later Attended the University of Kansas to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and later An Education Degree from UMSL.

In retrospect, I think of my experiences much like what was imposed upon any child, who was not a part of this US system. The people treated me like I was an alien and the school system demanded that I assimilate with the White supremacy system and discouraged my own capacities and cultural Identity. Remember, During the 60s there was a strong culture of self determination and reliance with the Black Power movement and the Black Panther Party leadership. along with Malcolm X. So, there was a lot of pushback. I compare this to the mistreatment of Native American youth in the 1800s. the US and Canada established Assimilation and Indoctrination Boarding Schools where white supremacy indoctrination was imposed upon African Americans and Native Americans, who were forced as children to conform and acculturate to the ways of Western Europeans, and ultimately strip them of their natural, sustainable cultural ways, language, family ties, heritages, names, foods, Lands, and resources. Anything that tied them into a nation was stripped away... So, my Native and African American cultural heritage, access to land and resources, our Cultural Leaders, music, History, Heritage, etc., were not acceptable in these integration/assimilation schools. We were expected to function isolated and independently, with the WASP middle-class value system, and not have any ties to our own families and neighborhoods, for our own economics, culture, ethnic affiliations or nationality. 

So as these experiences remind me now of the Indoctrination Boarding Schools, where many nations of children of color were historically forced to attend, to be programmed (Brainwashed) to assimilate and deny their own family heritage and birth rites, these schools benefited and established the middle-class economic system, that ultimately fueled the US war machine that pervaded the globalization of US Imperialism.  The knowledge that the children of our ancient Ancestors in the Americas were stripped of their, natural connections and rights to Land, Resources, Culture, Languages, Spiritual systems, family ties etc. was appalling! Our children were virtually and literally orphaned and alienated from their families! This was a cold war against people of African descent and people of color. Ultimately, the integration assimilation of children of African descent into the public life of the US did not change or end Racism/white supremacy in the United States. This assimilation process launched the School-to-Prison-Pipeline, where Children of African Descent were re-segregated into impoverished neighborhoods, and predominantly Caucasian teachers, (and teachers of color with a middle-class value system,) and Police were placed in inner-city schools, to pick off our youth as child soldiers into a drug war.

Another outrageous example of Segregation and Discriminations was during World War II After the Nuclear Bombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, Asian people were rounded up and isolated into concentration camps! Of course They were paid Reparations.

When I was a teen, I remember how every summer, Caucasian children would be invited to free concerts, carnival amusements, free foods, etc., unaware (or aware as the case may be) that these concerts were sponsored by White supremacist- Militia, Klan, Nazi organizations as a recruitment strategy. Like the story of Pinocchio, Caucasian children would be indoctrinated under a veil of thrills, to hide the insidious agenda of incepting white supremacy and the idea of a race war! It has been 41 years since I have graduated from High school. Now I see my generation of Adults of African descent under duress by Caucasian adults raging and spewing hate speech, as well as targeting, stereotyping, profiling, and killing people of African Descent, with the bigoted ideas of criminality and inferiority with impunity. The US has failed to realize that they are the invader nation that destroyed existing societies, many of whom were pushed out and now have walls built around them. Hate cannot be legislated against. Just as one teacher, Jane Elliott, had the courage to stand up to her racist indoctrination, to sensitize and engage her students into a conscious dialogue for Multicultural awareness and the unification of all human beings as one species, we can all learn to embrace and reinvigorate our own cultural mores and ways of life that are all founded in traditional African Societies... The oldest people on the planet are from the ancient African Diaspora, so all people of color come from African Ancestral lineage.

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.

As a young adult, I would later join a middle-class value, Black church, get married, give birth to two wonderful children, and graduate from 2 colleges, with a Master's Degree in Special Education. I was not satisfied with assimilating into the US system. I know that as an Indigo person, I would always be subordinate to any access to this society. I always held to the memories that my mother would share of her father being a Tutsi East African, who was never enslaved and lived as a freeman in the United States. He married a Natchez Native American. Yet, outside of my indoctrination, I was also inspired by my Father, who was often found listening to Malcolm X's speeches. Malcolm X always spoke of separation from the US and doing for themselves, as a Nation of Black people, as a messenger of Elisha Muhammad of the Nation of Islam. My mother would later share that her father was a Garveyite, which may have been the reason that both her father and her brother were lynched in the south. I later took on the Black Panther model of establishing a Do-For-Self, African Centered lifestyle, while living in my own community of African Americans, that I worked in, as an Urban School teacher. I brought my children into an African Conscious connection, with the National Black United Front-KC. We traveled across the country, to attend lectures and set up as a vendor selling Homemade Afrikan Centered clothing, jewelry, and home accessories, We learned to dance in an African cultural dance group. I became an avid reader of African Centered Authors, later reading the Medu Neter by Ra U Nefer Amen. I learned to speak the Medu Neter language, to graft an Afrikan Centered Cultural lifestyle. I later established a community organization called Amen Par Ankh, with my Spiritual partner, Sasteh Meter. We used our house as a community safe house, and grew vegetables in our vacant lot next door and on our front yard. https://amen.parankh.blogspot.com

"Spirit having a Human Experience. Living in the spirit of Gratitude and Balance. I have worked to rebuild community in the urban African descendant neighborhoods, serving as a teacher, mentor, advocate, activist, and artist. My heart is for Indigo People. I am currently a minister, and activist, promoting Urban growers of local foods, I also Promote Green Sustainable recycling initiatives. My first bachelor's degree was in Visual Communications, Graphic Art. I am Writer and a Native American Kemetic Spiritual Minister. I work with home blessings and edible landscaping for elders or anyone who would like to learn about sustainable agriculture in an urban environment. My motto is " In order to free yourselves- You must feed yourselves!" I have learned that our food system has changed decades ago. The GMOs (Genetically modified Organisms), pesticides, and plastiburgs are destroying our children and our planet. 

I choose to pursue my philosophy and way of life to Nurture my family and community. I continue to teach and work with children, teens, and young adults, Elders, and families with Amen Ankh Akademy- African Centered Homeschool and Communiversity- to empower Indigo families, to know, love, and respect themselves; and to build a sustainable economy. https://amen-ankh.blogspot.com/

 As we grow into the knowledge of our great Afrikan Ancestral Heritage, let us embrace our Beautiful Ebony Indigo Girls!

We must Love them, feed them healthy foods, teach them positive activities and exercise, experiences and positive values, knowledge of self and Identity.

In my humble opinion, we must focus on cultivating the inner standing of Mind Body and Spirit within our girls and young women. This is why I established an African Centered parent and girls group called "You G.R.O.W.W. Girls"- Teach a girl, heal a nation.

As souls having a human experience. Our Ebony girls of Afrikan descent will grow to be our next generation of family and Community. We're planting the seeds of STE-A-M into our girls. In their play dates, they will use project-based objectives to learn Urban Agriculture, Financial literacy, Consumer Savy, Entreprenurial pursuits, home Economics, Minor Home Repair, Automotive, technology, electronics, carpentry, and Chemistry experiences.

This is a component of Amen Ankh Akademy https://amen-ankh.blogspot.com

We teach each of our young girls self-knowledge - to understand the power of their Mind Spirit and Bodies, as a sacred temple of life, and to return their self-esteem and self-respect, in their knowledge of their talents and gifts, and an inner-standing of their African heritage, not only for each individual girl and her family but for her nation.

At Amen Par Ankh our Motto is: "Teach a Girl- Heal a Nation."
We Celebrate Life with a group called You G.R.O.W.W. Girls. G.R.O.W.W. Stands for Gaining Resilience, Opportunity, Wellness, and Wealth. We teach young women using an African Centered Cultural perspective, how to live virtuously, practically, and with integrity. How to withstand and endure with resilience, the tests, and trials of life. As we teach young women about the natural world, domestic engineering, arts and crafts, healing therapies, Financial Literacy, and Consumer savvy, we, in fact, expose them to applied careers in STE-A-M (Science, Technology Engineering, Industrial Arts and Mathematics). These young women will learn from STEAM professionals who will serve as mentors/Tutors, and will expose them to careers in Information Technology, computers, biology, and ecology etc..  The success and the future health and wellness of our African Descendant neighborhoods and communities, hedge within the wellness and healthy environment of each of our girls. For it is within the nutrition, knowledge, and cultivation of the minds, body, the spirit of our young girls, and the health and wellness that will disseminate and build the success of future families and communities. We will read about and meet African American Women as positive role models, Tutors, and mentors. We encourage young women to become entrepreneurs in home cottage industries and non-conventional careers in STEAM- Technology, computers, biology, and ecology. Our young girls will learn Plant Identification of herbs and food nutrition. Teaching them to grow their own foods and learn about their own health and wellness. We invite you to join us and support our youth. Feel free to contact us for our women's circles and study groups.

We are African/Indigo people. The oldest people on the planet. Our Ancient Ancestors Traveled the planet to establish civilizations. Our stories were written in stone, in hieroglyphs to be read as an ark of knowledge.

If you would like to volunteer or assist or enroll your young girls between the ages of 7 and 17, and Mentors 18 and up. Please Contact: Queen-Ma Nuta Beqsu: 816-281-7704 or email us: amen.parankh@gmail.com

I am a natural Woman and love It!

REAL SOLUTIONS

*We must Re-Member that we are Divine Souls having a human experience

*We must know that our bodies are the sacred temple of our soul and a vessel for the holy spirit of life. *We are the children of a collective universe, and we have a higher state of divine purpose and consciousness.

*The greatest thing we can do for our bodies is to make them into a Spirit temple and use them to glorify our higher selves.

Using the word “temple” to describe our body as a dwelling, conveys the idea that our bodies are the shrine, or the sacred place, in which the Spirit not only lives, but is revered, and honored. Therefore, we must acknowledge that we have human rights and choices on how we behave, think, speak, eat. What we let into the temple through our eyes and ears becomes critically important as well, for every thought, word and deed we expose our bodies to.

*We must choose to live in inner peace and health.

*As Afrikan Americans, what we put in our mouths is essential. So it is imperative that we practice healthy eating of balanced meals that largely include fresh fruits, vegetables.

*Fresh air and exercise should also be practiced as a discipline of our body temple. living naturally and close to the earth is the healthiest way, far away from a worldly disconnect from nature.
It is also important to practice good hygiene.




Moving as women into virtuous living is a step in the right direction. Creating home cottage businesses, growing our own foods, Learning Arts and Crafts, Home Economics, Life Skills, Basic Business, and fiscal fitness skill are important. Practicing culinary arts and even trying some homemade cosmetics can be fun, positive, and rewarding.

It is important that our young Black Princesses know their value, worth, and purpose and that they have self-esteem, etiquette, and knowledge of their cultural history. We must return our women to be the Queen Mother Goddesses that they truly are before the world and the earth.

We Must Embrace Our Afrikan Centered girls with High Self Esteem and Knowledge of Self! This is why African Centered Education is so vital!

Listen online- Radio show- http://www.blogtalkradio.com/amencommunications Nuta Beqsu means (heaven gives me balance) This is an ancient KMT language that is still in practice today. Nu, Nut, and Ta are Elemental powers of the Heavens: Nu is Moisture and Water. Nut is the Celestial Sky-goddess. She represents the cosmos and the universe. The Universe is always giving birth to new solar systems and stars. Ta is the original word for land and Queendoms of our ancient Matriarchal societies. Our land is our home, and the place for the empirical existence where we learn from our experiences. She seeks to live in the balance between the planetary and heavenly existences. We are all connected to the land, trees, microcosm and macrocosm, Inner verse and universe. Nuta Beqsu (heaven gives me balance) will be programmed into conscious spirit, to produce thought sequences to direct a course of action as a way to achieve successfulness in life. Visualization is thought converted into a pleasurable visual image(s) to achieve a goal and/or purpose. We connect with Divine Power to guide and direct our pathways. As a divine name is spoken the receiver has unity of direction in life. Her name reflects her Destiny. So, the sight Sounds, visions, smells, and colors associated with a divine name will give guidance in her pathway.
