AFRICANOLOGY

 

 

 

Research I conducted has led to the discovery of the three inter-cycle systems that command and give life to all living organisms. There are three profound observations about these inter-cycle systems.

1. They represent the origin and source of all life.

2. They are responsible for the survival and sustenance of all life.

3. They separate our spirits.

I discovered this from the great tradition of Mamprugu, an ethnic group living in the northern part of Ghana. I shall tell you more about this ethnic group as we get deeper into my philosophy. Research and analyses into this great tradition have given birth to a new African traditional evolution, which I will like to share with readers. We have heard many times about heaven and hell. But do they exist? Is there really a heaven and a hell? Yes, heaven and hell really exist but where do they exist? These cycles will tell you where they exist.

All human life is believed to go round these intersection-cycles. Each life begins from a certain point and ends at the same point to re-begin another new life. Life itself never dies; it is our fragile human body that becomes weak and dies. When the body dies, life will leave the dead body and enter another life body. This reproduces the spirit of life. When sexual intercourse occurs between a man and a woman, a new life forms in a new body. So, as you can see, the cycle ends with the death of a body, the spirit goes out of the dead body and enters another man. Then when that man has sex with a woman, he drops that spirit into the womb of the woman. That spirit becomes a living organism and starts to develop into another body.

If a person does good deeds in this life and he dies, he will be re-born into a life of goodness and he will experience heaven. Because he lived a good life, the body of another person who lived a good life will accept his spirit, and the one who accepts such a spirit will have sex with a partner and drop the spirit into her womb to reproduce another life.

Here, because the dead body led a good life, he will be born into a good family and will not suffer in life. He will be well cared for, well educated and will become a star or a great leader and experience great enjoyment in life. But should he live a life of wickedness and do bad things that affect mankind negatively, when his body dies, his spirit will not get any good, righteous living person to accept him anymore.

In the end, only a person living a wicked life who committed bad deeds during their last cycle will accept him, meaning that such a person will suffer on earth. He will be born into poverty and misery and he will experience hell. So, if you want your spirit to be accepted by a good body in your next life cycle, you must strive to be good. You must show kindness, compassion and tolerance to others. You must accept the commands of others and obey the laws of nature. Then, when your body expires and you die, you will enjoy heaven when you re-appear in the world.

Proof of this theory is all around us. We witness this in the world today. It is because of this theory that some people live super rich lives while others are living in abject poverty with no peace of mind. Whatever happens to you in the world happens according to what you did during your last life cycle journey.

The three inter-cycle systems that command all living organisms and gives origin to life’s phenomenon can represent the following:

(1) The PRESENT LIFE CYCLE- This is the new organism that is just beginning its journey. This spirit organism or life, if you choose to call it, is just a complete, new life to be discovered. The earth breathes it into a man to begin its journey. It means this spirit has never been in the form of an organism before. So when a man has sex with a woman, he drops it into the womb of the woman for it to be become an organism. This organism begins to form the body and sustains the life that ensues from the sexual intercourse between the man and the woman.

(2) PAST LIFE CYCLE- This cycle refers to the spirits which have already developed into a human body and lived life until the body died. Then the spirit will leave the dead body and enter another living man’s body. And when this man has sexual intercourse with a woman, he will drop the spirit into the woman. The spirit will then form a body inside the woman’s womb to begin its cycle again.

The Mamprugu believe that life is a cycle that begins, ends and starts again. They believe that only our bodies die but our spirit continues to live on in another body. This belief lies at the centre of their cultural and traditional beliefs. So much so that when a person died in those olden days, if the person was an important or a dangerous person, for them to identify such a person should he or she be re-born back into life, they etched some marks into that dead body, using, for example, a needle. They made little holes on the ears or other parts of the dead body.

These marks will be observed and witnessed by the BAYAASI i.e. the elders who are responsible for burying the dead. If another woman gives birth, the child is inspected to see if he or she bears any identifiable marks. If there is such a mark, the child is quickly identified as a past organism within the family. They quickly recognise that child as someone who lived in the past. And right away, they know who that child is going to be. If it was deduced that the spirit of the new born belonged to a person who lived a dangerous and a wicked life in the society, they would perform some rituals to make him speed up and end his cycle, that is, to kill him in order to prevent him from growing up and causing harm in the society.

But that practice was not the best solution since that spirit would still return and be re-born. Or they could be re-born into another society. Unfortunately, if they were re-born into a different society that society wouldn't know since they would have no records of that organism’s deeds in the previous life. Also the practice of destroying that organism never succeeds because it does not prevent the spirit from coming back to exist in this world, and since the cycles inter-sect, it is possible that the life they consider to be bad and undesirable could have intersected into another cycle that turned him from a dangerous and wicked person into a very good person when it was re-born.

Discovering the evolution and origin of life from the great tradition of the Mamprugu has taught me one profound thing–that all life is precious, special and equal in importance. It is also my belief that each life can be trained and guided to became useful to the society.

There are three different systems of survival under this process of evolution and formation of life. These three systems align with the great tradition of MAMPRUGU, which essentially stipulates that any life can be trained and guided to develop itself into the needed desirable quality. They are

1. WUNI–the building spirit of the self or beingness. An individual can build up or alter his own beingness to live a very happy life for himself and others.

The people of Mamprugu believe that each person’s WUNI has the power to bring about a total transformation in their lives. This belief was so strong that in the olden days, the people of Mamprugu kept certain objects or symbols inside their rooms that represented their WUNIs. And they frequently offered sacrifices to them, such as killing of chicken, goat or sheep.

2. TIA –the building spirit of the family. It relates to an individual who builds up his beingness and extends it to the family. Such a person lives happily with the family. The head of TIA is called YIDANA. He is accorded respect and reverence. Each morning, all the family will come together and salute him before going to work. Each house has the symbol of their TIA placed at the main entrance to the house. Tia simply means tree. Some houses keep the same piece of tree to represent them while others keep a big stone or other symbol to represent that spirit.

3. BUGRI–It represents the building spirit of mankind. An individual who reaches this level is a leader who lives happily with himself and with others and seeks to guide and direct mankind towards the path of truth. Here, truth must be respected and practised for one to live a decent, fruitful life. This is where Africans have decided to run away from their African traditions and embraced foreign traditions because we can't live with truth, respect and honesty. Thus, we look for the spirit that can protect us while we are indulging in nefarious activities.

We indulge in dishonest and deceptive behaviours. We do not honour or respect contracts or agreements that we sign with others. We lie and cheat because we have not cultivated the BUGRI spirit. An individual who builds up and deploys his spirit to the level of BUGRI is a very good, tolerant, patient person. In fact, you can decide to steal from such a person, insult him, slap or tease him, and he will not retaliate with physical force. He deals with people with truth and great integrity. He respects and honours contracts, agreements, appointments, etc. And should you disrespect, deceive or cheat him, he will not respond with physical force. He will not force you even as you may force him. But the firing spirit will fire you and respond strongly to your physical firing. This is what people who do not believe in truth fear. Thus, they run away from it because there is no truth in them.

If you look at the nations that are highly developed, they have many of their citizens at the BUGRI stage. They live their lives in truth, they respect any contract or agreement they sign, and they deal honestly with their fellow men. But where is that truth in Africa, even though we have embraced and accepted foreign Gods to be the truth and the way for life, but no one practises truth. We worship a foreign God that we believe to be the truth and yet we hate to live by the truth.

Through economic aid, the developed world use their brain power to convince us to leave our own traditions and culture of truth and accept their cultures and traditions. They condemn our traditions and make us feel and believe that they will protect our spirits whiles we destroy ourselves. But as long as we continue to worship their Gods, they will continue to control and manipulate us to serve their interests.

Even though we Africans have adopted their religion, cultures and traditions as the truth, the black man doesn’t believe in justice and truth. We only believe in physical, outward activities that give people the impression that we are worshipping God. But we continue to indulge in all kinds of vices and wrongdoings. Here, people’s desire is that their spirit would be protected whiles they continue to do bad things. But if the African people could develop and elevate their own beingness to the level of BUGRI in imagination and truth, Africa will develop much faster.

3. The third cycle is called FUTURE LIFE CYCLE. This cycle intersects the other two cycles i.e. PRESENT LIFE CYCLE and PAST LIFE CYCLE but it is unknown. This cycle keeps the spirit which has not yet been discovered by the earth. When the earth discovers it, the earth breathes it into man, and when man has sex with a woman he drops it into the womb of woman. Then it begins its own journey from the PRESENT LIFE CYCLE.

Human natural knowledge and creative wisdom depends on the three intersecting life cycles. The life that intersects two life cycles is said to possess the spirit of great creative wisdom and knowledge but the life that continues over and over on only one of the cycles doesn't acquire substantial knowledge and wisdom. For example, take the case of Mr. A. who began his journey from present life cycle after which he intersected to take the past life cycle. After the past life cycle, he intersects into the future life cycle before returning to the present life cycle again.

In this case, by intersecting and transiting through the three life cycles, Mr. A. has acquired present wisdom, past knowledge and future wisdom. He knows what is in the present now as well as what happened in the past, perhaps millions of years ago. At the same time, Mr. A. can also see into the future, may be tens of millions of years to come, and everything he imagines, says or creates is reality. Actually, he is a true creative genius. He can control every motion. He can construct, maintain and destroy if need be, just like a driver can start a car, drive it and stop it, if necessary.

Now, take the case of Mr B. After the first round of existing in the present life cycle, he intersects and transits into the past life cycle, after which he intersects again into the present life cycle, then again into the past life cycle. But he never intersects into the future life cycle. He hovers and transits between the present and the past life cycles. He never experiences the future life cycle. Because of this, Mr. B. possesses past knowledge and present knowledge but no future wisdom. He can't see into the future. Yes, he can maintain and destroy things. In other words, he can't start a car but he can drive and stop the car.

Now, let's take the case of Mr. C. who begins his journey in the present life cycle immediately the earth discovers it from the future cycle and breathes it into a man, who drops it into a female partner after having sexual relations with her. After ending the first round of existing in the form of a human body, he intersects into the past life cycle, and any time the body’s journey ends, he continues in the same past life cycle. This means that Mr. C. only has past knowledge and wisdom. He lacks present and future wisdom. Mr. C. can only destroy things; he can't construct neither can he maintain.

I want to kick-start a new African Cultural Revolution. I am inviting all African intellectuals and thinkers around the world to come together and build Africa’s natural talent industry which will empower our youth and instill in them the spirit of creativity and wisdom. Our aim is to bring all Africans together and unite them under the African cultural tradition and its unique value of self-belief. This cultural revolution will turn Africa into an industrial giant like China by 2050 (through the guidance and direction of our Vision 2050).

I call on all Africans to come together to brainstorm and discuss the issues affecting the continent. Let us put every idea, every topic on the table. Let us establish an idea collection point, where we shall collect and document every idea, every topic. It will be collection of ideas from everybody in Africa. Everyone will be welcome and every idea will be accepted. This will allow all topics to be discussed. The new African culture should not seek to exclude anybody. Everybody will be allowed to freely share their ideas and to display what they can do according to the talent they have been blessed with.

Anybody can create a topic or join a topic of their interest in any subject area where they really have ideas to contribute to the building of the African industrial machine. Topics will include history of Africa, agriculture, medicine, sports, love etc., which we now believe are our own cultural beliefs which evolved into modern science. In future, our children will not be confused about their place in the world since they would know the history of our cultural heritage and how it was born. Africa’s current cultural confusion has come about because Africans have failed to create their own history. We continue to borrow foreign cultures and traditions. We have been convinced to reject everything of ourselves–our culture and traditional systems.

What is creation and innovation? They simply mean being able to discover something and build up the maxims and axioms that make it workable to be useful to mankind. Everything you see in this world was created. Some we may not know their sources or who created them but they have been created. Some things can create other things. For example, trees create flowers; man use the flowers to create perform, soap, herbs and medicines.

Cultures, traditions, religions, science, politics etc. have been created by man. Man uses his sense of discovery to build the maxims and axioms as code to guide his creation. Even when he is not around, whosoever applies the code, maxims and axioms correctly receives the same results just like the one who created it. The fact is that before any creation can exist and be useful to mankind, it should have axioms or what we call moral codes.

This is where, if one doesn't apply the moral codes accurately, then one runs into a problem. Traditions, cultures, religions and science all have moral codes. For example, in northern Ghana, we have one powerful tradition called TONGU. This tradition is located somewhere near Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region of Ghana in the language of the Mamprusi. These powerful traditions refer to BUGRI. They have their own moral codes, which were built by those who created them thousands of years ago. The same axioms that underlie these traditions are still working today and whoever observes these axioms today will receive results. If one goes for blessing or spiritual guidance from them, one must obey the moral codes. If one disobeys the code one runs into a problem.

Lets us look at religion. Religion functions based on moral codes that their creators established. Thus, one would have to apply the same moral codes as the creators applied in order to receive help and spiritual power. In order for one to receive better results or blessings, one must follow the code and apply it very accurately. If one misapplies the code there will be grave consequences. Though everybody follows the same code for prayer, only a few are spiritual as the creators of the religion. The majority doesn't receive or practise it as the creators. This is because only few people are able to accurately apply and duplicate the code as the creators. As a result, many do not get favourable result. They do not experience any miracles. Thus, they rely on the few who receive miracles for some of the blessing. And automatically those who duplicated the code perfectly became the leaders who led the congregation.

A look at the sciences from engineering to medicine reveals that they all have moral codes set by the creators of those disciplines. For one to get positive results from the sciences, one must observe the moral codes and diligently duplicate and apply them before they can expect to reap positive results. For example, if a person is sick and he visits the hospital, the doctor will diagnose his symptoms and prescribe medicine, which must be taken in a certain manner. If he mistakenly mixes up the medicines and takes them in the wrong manner, he may encounter a problem and may even aggravate the sickness. To receive positive result, the medicine must be taken exactly as prescribed. In the same way, if an engineer building an engine misapplies the code and mixes up the wires, the engine may not function as it should.

It must be stated here that only another creator can change the moral code and set up his own moral code and bring about another creation. The naturalists are very powerful in discovering new things. They can change an entire creation which already exists to something totally different. Sometimes, too, a new creation comes into existence when someone campaigns against an existing creation, and succeeds in convincing people to lose confidence in that creation. If people no longer believe in that creation then it ceases to be workable and beneficial. This is the method scientific groups use to conquer the world with their powerful inventions and creations. As you read further, you will also come to know how you too can build your own axioms and maxims on what you feel is your own natural discovery.

Everything is life. It is lift that connects all of us and bears us up. But where did it originate from and where is it going? Where will it end? Where shall the next journey of life begin after it ends and disappears from the universe? Many philosophers, religious leaders and scientists give various answers to the above questions. A critical observation of the age-old tradition of MAMPRUGU, one of Africa’s real cultures, indicates that it also contains the answers to these questions.

Throughout history, the origin, purpose and the end of life has been one of the most discussed phenomena in the world. All human wisdom and knowledge is based on this phenomenon. And those who are able to explain it more reasonably and convincingly gain great wisdom than those whose explanations are very poor. Life represents various cycles, where it begins, moves round and ends at the same position, and then re-begins afresh. There is real heaven and hell when life ends. When you live a good life, show kindness to others you will be re-born into a family in which you will enjoy and never suffer. That is paradise–that’s your heaven.

If, on the other hand, one does not do good deeds in his life, when one’s first cycle ends, one will re-begin a new cycle in misery and suffering. And that is hell. The reason why you see some people enjoying whiles others are suffering is because of this. People who have had life easy lived their old cycles as good people and when they re-appeared in the next cycle they enjoyed the good life and peace of mind until their cycle ends and they begin another journey. But if they live a life of wickedness and cruelty to mankind, they will live a life of suffering in their next cycle.

That is why I said life is a choice. We all choose the life cycle we want to live. If we choose to live a good life, we shall enjoy in our next cycle. Advantage of the good cycle is that if you live a long life, you will be very very old and all your behaviour will turn to be like that of a new born baby. At this stage, you are about to meet your beginning point, and immediately death occurs you will turn into a new cell that will be produced by another man when he has sex with a woman. Then you will develop and be re-born. But whether or not you live in paradise or hell in this new journey depends on what you did during your old cycle journey. You may be born into the same family or outside it. You may be black but in the next life, you can be white, or if you are white you may come back as black.

Unfortunately, some lives complete their cycle within a few minutes, hours, weeks or months. That is why a new born child can die before it matures. Here, the cycle speeds up and comes back to the beginning point. But under normal circumstances, as you journey through the cycle you must grow very very old before reaching the beginning point.

There’s one interesting thing about this mental technology. What people do not yet realise about this mental technology book is that, if one is in a state of confusion, depression or unconsciousness, get the person to read this book and he or she will re-gain normal conscience immediately. Try this with the people you know who are facing psychological problems. I want you to see the results for yourself. You can do that by examining the problem of the person and search for the right page or pages in this book. Then, make them read those pages and something magical will happen.

There are various levels of spiritualism. The campaign to condemn Africans and their traditions was due to the grade (1) level of spiritualism. Many people automatically associate African culture with rituals such as animal or human sacrifices and other mysterious ritual performances or practices. Today, we have some of our own people who continue to remain in our tradition but they are above grade (1) level. We don't have to continue to perform rituals before we increase in spiritual wisdom and creativity. Just subscribe to Africanology–the new African cultural revolution–with a clean conscience and you shall never suffer any psychological or socio-cultural problems.

As a young creator born into my family (the Lunsi traditional oracles in Mamprugu), I feel I have a talent that gives me deep insight to look into our old traditional systems with a modern, scientific mentality. Because of my deep knowledge in the LUNSI TRADITION, I have gained a deeper understanding into the human mind, body and spirit through the traditions of the Mamprugu.

Since the beginning of the world, the purpose of the LUNSI people in the society has been to empower the people through praising them to perform miracles and bring about positive transformations in their lives. The more they praised you, the more good things happened to you. But the LUNSI were captured by the kings of old and forced to praise them alone so that they would continue to acquire more spirit and power to rule over the people. Through research, I have discovered that the tradition of LUNSI is in four (4) grades.

The spirit at grade 1 is not quite desirable. When you are praised by a person at grade 1, the spirit that will posses you is one of destruction and chaos as has been the case today in Africa. But when you are praised by a person in grade 4, you possess the spirit of creativity and wisdom as we can see in the advanced countries. Today the purpose of LUNSI is to empower people by putting their ideas and exhortations in the form of books such as novels that inspire and empower the people. You can see that when reading a book or novel by a great novelist or writer. Sometimes, you feel as if something is running through your brain. As you read, you experience a burst of enthusiasm and inspiration. People who are able to inspire so deeply in their books are those who have attained spirit level grade 4, the highest spiritual level.

The first and earliest form of education in the world was LUNSI–oral education. This system of education was built by our ancestors. In those olden days, people sent their children to LUNSI institutions to learn how to play the gong-gong. They also learnt the history of the society. They learnt all these and used the knowledge they gained to praise an individual and empower their spirit to do exploits in society.

Unfortunately, the relevance of this form of education was diminished by the new system of education, which was built by religious elements and missionaries. The new educational system condemns the old due to the fact that they are at the spiritual level grade one. Though today the modern system of education has profoundly changed everything, the origin still remains the same. People who have discovered this knowledge have every right to empower their traditions and modify them with modern technology.

The most interesting part of life is that there are always challenges. Some challenges come to strengthen and empower us whilst some come to sap our strength and disempower us. People with clean conscience and strength of character are empowered by challenges because without challenges, your progress in life tends to be slow. But people without a clean conscience are weakened by challenges because they lack wisdom and insight. The only thing they can do is to fight using harsh words.

Eventually, they lose themselves and suffer sleeplessness. In fact, they are full of rage and frustration and sometimes they channel this anger and frustration onto their workers, kids and other family members rather than channeling that anger into finding productive ways to deal with the challenges that confront them.

In every society, there are two fundamental systems that rule the affairs of the people. There’s the (1) physical body ruling and (2) the spiritual ruling. Those societies that succeed in liberating themselves and devising ways to rule their own physical bodies and spirit, develop very fast once they get to know what is right to do and what is not right to do. But societies that fail to control and rule their physical bodies and spirit tend to be less developed because they lack a sense of self-determination.

For example, in every village there is a chief who is the ruler of the "body" of the people in his village. Then there are pastors and Imams who are the rulers of the spirit of the people in that particular village. Before the advent of religion, the kings were responsible for ruling both the body and spirit of the people, but with the introduction of religion, they transferred the spirit ruling part to TIMDANA, i.e. the spiritual man who also played the role of linguist.
