New (Nu) Beginnings (Ice breaker video)

The message on the forehead of the beautiful Yoruba female is the Ancient Elder

Ejiogbe.

To Us Afrikan and New(Nu) Afrikan women it is clearly a message, and a sign post that

speaks to Us to remember how we can change the courses of OPPRESSIVE HIS-

STORIES in a more positive, and influential permanent manner-ONCE AGAIN.

Traditionally it is a masculine force of energy, the initiating spark of life and is the father

of the 256 Yoruba Odus. It is the father because it impregnates the divine mother

principle (Oyekumeji) within the Ifa Divination System. Thus, the masculine-

impregnating principle (MIP) should be overstood as the assertive and aggressive

2

principle willing to give up its life in order to awaken an inactive (yearning to become

active) principle of life so that life will CONTINUE. The bible should read that God so

loved this world that he gave his only begotten Sun, and we in turn should know that

what is being spoken of here is the merger of the only ejaculated spermatozoa (seminal

fluid) that survived the journey and battle to get inside the female egg (ovum) to begin

the fertilization process of a soon to be born NU life form made in their images, and

likenesses. Likewise the feminine-submissive principle (FSP) should be overstood as

the cooperative and complying principle that overstands the necessary reasons for

placing herself in the willing fertile, side by side (Co-Regent) position (s) with the MIP in

order to ensure that life will continue (cohesive forces of life).

All 256 Odus are patterns of divine messages designed to make us aware of our divine

selves and the “OPPRESSIVE FORCES” as well hidden within our own complex

natures, and what remedies are potential antidotes to rid our beings of these parasitic

behaviorisms.

Many of us probably own this Yoruba wall plague but do not know or even understand

the significance of the two lines seemingly craved into her forehead (actually in the area

of her third eye-pineal gland).

My quest is only an attempt to help us as women understand how this odu (ancient

elder) or living energy can be used to help initiate, guide, and balance the two forces of

our own RNA/DNA from which derives our personalities and characteristics; literally the

encoding of our celestial and terrestrial ancestors.

ANDROGYNY PAR EXCELLENCE

The Yoruba overstand the things happening in one’s life as being associated with

darkness, light, heaven, earth, feminine, masculine, positive and negative energies

(forces/elements-living organisms that express themselves both “Above and Below”, in

Nature and in our individual lives). They also factor in the directions from which

energies can flow towards and/or away from an individual. Often times we ourselves

when something happens in our lives that we didn’t foresee we ask ourselves, “Now

where did this come from?”, which indicates that we want to know from which direction

that a decision made caused us to commit to certain actions that determined a particular

direction or course in which our lives then head in.

Eji means two. The markings are identical, balanced forces that are on the right and left

side of her forehead (the merger of the two udjats into one). Remember “ogbe” is a

masculine energy (light) that generally suggests new beginnings and when seen in this

manner it appears on both the right and left side of the ‘opon Ifa’ which is the divining

tray of the Yoruba (the calabash or sphere of life). It is also the first major odu in the

fixed order of the Ifa Divination System.

When this odu appears in a divination it speaks of spiritual awakenings, sacrifices, light,

peace of mind, victory over one’s enemies, long life as well as the general welfare of the

individual that it is divined for as being good. This is a good sign. It may also mean that

prosperity will be a part of that individual’s life if that is what they are seeking.

That is just one of the potential meanings of this major and important odu within the Ifa

Divination System.

Now, how do we as women internalize this odu in order to bring about an identical

balance of both our feminine and masculine natures?

The very suggestion of two forces identical in nature being balanced in the Egiptian

System (which is also Afrikan) relates to the Nazdurt (Netert) Ma’at.

Balancing Our Ori-Our Head

Balancing our dualistic natures is the key. Getting them to complement each other is

always an ongoing task. However, it is one that must be pursued if we are to assist in

returning our planet to a balanced state of being. It’s all in our heads. Balancing the left

and right hemispheres of our brains is what it’s really all about. The ongoing task is

getting our minds both the subconscious and the conscious self to engage in assisting

us to pursue, and complete our highest endeavors of good for all of humanity to benefit

from. This is what Afrika is still known for doing today. The benefits are its limitless

resources. Resources can be depleted. We deplete our resources as Afrikan and New

(nu) Afrikan women when we spread ourselves too thin. Our minds must focus on the

completion of every project we initiate for the greatest good and general welfare of our

Nation first, knowing that the rest of humanity will surely benefit from our good works.

Choosing Sides-The Spiritual Head vs. The Physical Head

The left side is feminine, spiritual and emotional while the right side is masculine, linear

and/or temporal. East meets West. Light (right) meets Darkness (feminine). Heaven is

masculine (positive) and Earth is feminine (negative--remember this is the Ifa System

and I am sure matrilineal cultures would probably refute this). Water (feminine) is

darkness and Fire (masculine) is light. Here I am describing the opon Ifa and the

Yoruba macro and micro-cosmic perception with heaven (North) being the location of

“celestial spirits” and the earth (South) being the location of “terrestrial spirits.” As it is

Above so it is Below of course an Egiptian saying.

What this simply suggests is that we are by nature androgynous, ‘ethereal’ beings in the

flesh and what we are dealing with are the dualistic natures of ‘feminine/masculine

Etheric systems i.e. HEADS’ and these systems deals with one’s consciousness.

Therefore the knowledge of Self is Essential. We also need correct knowledge or

awareness of what is around us because that is factored into both areas of our

subconscious self (spiritual self) and the conscious self (emotional self). If both of the

spiritual self and the emotional self are fed the wrong information over a period of time

then chaos and disorder, stagnation and decay will subsequently mislead one off of

their intended path in life. This is what slavery has done to Afrikans and does to any

civilization once placed into bondage. It saturates them with false information

(confusing the HEADS) about their environment and how they were related to that

environment, robbing them of all knowledge of self worth and the value of their

relationship to their environment that subsequently makes them easier to enslave.

In order to be in a state of “EJIOGBE”, every level of our consciousness must mirror

each other identically. I will use the word identically instead of perfectly because

perfection is a state of one’s own declaration that they “ACCEPT” the finality of a

particular thing as in requiring no further improvements.

So, what we Afrikan and New (Nu) Afrikan Women must do is to refrain from becoming

too excessive in our behaviors towards ourselves, men, and children and within our

communities. By this it is meant that we must exercise every level of our ‘COMMON

SENSE’ to overcome the obstacles and temptations that face us as we seek true

liberation for ourselves, families, communities, states, countries and nation. Before we

react to anything let us first ask ourselves this question, “Which Head am I choosing

sides with? How can I train my Heads to agree peacefully?”

In this fashion or manner we will be looked upon as being ‘WOMEN OF SOBRIETY.’

360 DEGREES OF POWER (SISTAH SOLJAHz)

We must be acutely aware of our strengths and our weaknesses.

We must strive not to be overly feminine in our natures so that we aren’t lead into

various states of dependency upon the outer masculine principle of ourselves

(our black men) which the European Slavery System has but all together done

their best to destroy our black men’s dependability, and creditability making it

very hard for healthy black female and male relationships to exist. This has been

done so that the Afrikan and New (Nu) Afrikan women and their offspring are

made vulnerable to all foreign invasions seeking to recreate themselves within

the Afrikan genes to ensure themselves the survival of their Nationalities even if it

means procreating hybrid reflections of them.

We must be able to continue to do for ourselves alongside of our black men.

We must be able to defend ourselves in the absence of our black men.

We must always take advantage of every opportunity to educate and re-educate

ourselves spiritually, politically and socially.

We must value maintaining a sense of peace of mind when having to make what

appears to be very challenging decisions.

Our concerns of good and general welfare for others must include the good and

general welfare of ourselves as Afrikan and New (Nu) Afrikan women first

because without Us the rest of life would become non-essential to life itself here

on this planet being that WE ARE THE MOTHERS OF ALL HUMAN LIFE

existing today.

We must guard our health like a lioness guards her cubs to ensure the potentials

of living a long life so that we can be living road maps for our children to follow,

and teach them to value the pathways of Realization of Self; and show them

ways of how to best safe guard it.

We must be industrious, and prosperous minded Afrikan and New (Nu) Afrikan

Women who overstand keenly the importance of contributing to the economic

welfare of our homes and governments by utilizing those of us who have natural

skills for Leadership, Entrepreneurial skills, Philanthropists skills and all other

6

such useful and noble skills that would sustain the longevity of our Afrikan

civilizations.

We must possess the inner wherewithal to be ready to make the necessary

sacrifices needed to further our cause (s) for true liberation of the both the

Afrikan and the New (Nu) Afrikan Nation.

We must complete what we start before embarking upon new projects.

We must be wise enough to seek the appropriate and proven consul of our Elders within our own spiritual, civil and health systems within our own communities.

We must move beyond “Blind Faith” and just believing in things because

someone who claims to be spiritual says so. Instead, we must be diligent in

testing the methods of any spiritual and civil system that when first practiced

ceaselessly is done in the frame of mind of believing that is expected to

transform our minds into a state of knowing once those methods prove that

certain results will become cognitive. Try the spirit (s) to see if they are partners

with the Supreme All as manifested as divine principles that will increase life

more abundantly in a good manner.

We must be knowledgeable and prepared to do the necessary rituals to ward off

misfortune from ourselves, families and Nation.

Revolutionary Afrikan Women must overstand that we are using the masculine Etheric

system or MIP (spirit-force and/or HAR-monal system) subconsciously/consciously

when we are infusing (impregnating) our ideas of self-hood or FSP into society (ovum)

by injecting (ejaculating) our own thoughts (spermatozoa) and words into any

environment that is proving to be pedagogically oppressive in any manner.

Oppressive societies in this form are the ovum. The Rulers of Oppression are in this form are also using the Androgynous principle that carries the seed (limitless potentialities), fertilizes it so that it continues to conform to the strategic shape shifting constructs of oppression (enslaving information/techniques). Therefore, their societies act as the ovum fighting to kill off all possibilities of the fertilization of true liberation embryonically. Har or Haru is the Egiptian Deity that symbolizes the rising sun and represents the masculine (fire) light principle that can be related to as the Yoruba principle known as “Ogbe.” Our Har-mones are internal reactions set in motion based on external stimuli. Think of them as inner-g’s, Ancient Elders in the forms of Orishas/Nazduru-living organisms in motion (certain directions . . . emotion=energies in motion) designed to assist us into various “Actionary” methods of responding to our diverse environmental conditions. Responding here could be played upon as meaning “re-spawning” as in reproducing what we see repetitiously over any extended period of time—TRAINED and/or PROGRAMMED BEHAVORS. *Mass Control: Engineering Human Consciousness by Jim Keith*

Simply put the odu Ejiogbe (Ancient Elder) teaches us as Afrikan and New (Nu) Afrikan

Women to overstand that our essential role always is to demonstrate how making the

necessary sacrifices in life when incorporating our own inner knowing and traditional

spiritual systems can, and will provide us with opportunities to live peacefully with

ourselves, our black men and children, and other nations willing to do the same

designed to attract good fortune into every aspect of our feminine lives.

This is the hidden and real magnetizing beauty of this Yoruba Female who beckons us

to return to the proven benefits of our own ANCIENT AFRIKAN ANCESTRAL

SYSTEMS: THE TRUE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ETERNAL LIFE.
