Book Description
In the Setting of Hunting cultures, featuring no division of labor + individualistic Self-Discovery--African Tradition began its formalization by Primitive African Shaman. Each 'Medicine Man' went alone into the forest/jungle to undergo Psychic Ordeals to establish Self-Reliance and to keep realizing all humans are equal and the interconnections of all life. Using herbs to arouse their Life-Force into manifesting Trance psychic phenomena, Rock Art indicates they saw Form-Constants--geometric shapes--"memory deposits" giving Spiritual Knowings. Then, doing deep "pot-belly shaped" diaphragmatic breathing--so as to withdraw the focal point of consciousness from their senses + induce a mental wakefulness state of 50 times the norm--they were "Inspired" (in + breath or spirit animation) into an "awakening by divine influence." Once their consciousness was raised to the higher parts of their Spirits, itself interdependent with their bodies, they focused resultant powers for use in healing, divination, and clairvoyance. Since, for Primitive Africans, the culture and environment were essentially the same, their various brilliant "Seed" ideas were combined with later efforts of Ancient African Sages to form profound and never equaled Thinking skills. This may have been the spur for African Sages to devise Africans' Philosophy of Life + consider Sacred Geometrical Forms in the heavens + such concepts as Thought-Forces, Element Numbers, and Music of the Spheres. This book discusses their ramifications and contrasts this with those reared by Agrarian based societies.

Pages : 200
Book Description
Salvation is the ultimate ambition of the vast majority of the world's most dominant religions. I have researched thirty-one religions that represent the vast majority of the religions of the world. From Christianity that represents one-third of the global religious community, to Judaism that represents a mere minute fraction of a percent. Rituals and beliefs change, but the ultimate spiritual goal remains the same, appeasing their Supreme Being and finding eternal piece. I found that all the various different beliefs, rituals, and traditions end up being different roads that lead to the same location, salvation. The details of the thirty-one most popular and main religions of the world are disused and analyzed. The religions are among the world's main religious denominations, thereby covering the vast majority of the planet's religious beliefs.

Bailey's African Tradition Spiritual/Metaphysical Dictionary
Author: Facs Joseph Alexander Bailey II
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781731303172
Category : Africa
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
Standards are criterion (e.g. a rule, test, model, example) against which like-kind things are compared for similarities/differences. Spiritual Standards are based upon Cosmic (God) Laws-- themselves vibratory Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural. They, and their Attributes--by being immaterial, eternal (timeless), infinite, consistent, permanent, stationary--are of Absolute Certainty. All of these comprise the metaphorical vibratory Circular Cosmic Spiritual Genetics River System which connects Cosmic Creatures/Creations into multi-systems via the ultimate and infinite unifying force, Unconditional Love. Using African Tradition's Qualitative Algebra, Spiritual Standards enable humans to Differentiate Harmony from Disharmony; Integrate those having Correspondence (i.e. same God Genetic Seed); and infer Human Ideal Right Life Living Guidelines. These Guidelines are applicable in Spiritual, Spiritual/Metaphysical, and Spiritual/Metaphysical/Physical realms. By Cosmic River System Guidelines allowing for variations, without penalties, humans can used individualized means of discovery of practices to conform to its rhythms of virtues and morals for doing Selfless "ME/WE" benefits. Such of African people's traditional unchanging strivings while in life's flow of Events (changing Realities) equates to a Group Spirit of Continuity (unity among apparent diversity). By contrast, human-made Standards represent agreed upon criterion of excellence--"is it FOR me or AGAINST me"--or "injustice giving 'Us' unfair advantages and 'Them' unfair dis-advantages." This book points out certain Spiritual, Secular, and Supernatural cult Standard aspects.

Grime, Glitter, and Glass
Author: Nikki A. Greene
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478059559
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
In Grime, Glitter, and Glass, Nikki A. Greene examines how contemporary Black visual artists use sonic elements to refigure the formal and philosophical developments of Black art and culture. Focusing on the multimedia art of Renée Stout, Radcliffe Bailey, and María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Greene traces the intersection of the visual’s sonic possibilities with the Black body’s physical, representational, and metaphorical use in art. She employs her concept of “visual aesthetic musicality” to interpret Black visual art by examining the musical genres of jazz and rap along with the often-overlooked innovations of funk and rumba within art historiography. From Bailey’s use of multilayered surfaces of glitter, mud, and recycled materials to meditate on Sun Ra’s Afrofuturism to Stout’s life-sized cast of her own body that recalls funk musician Betty Davis to Campos-Pons’s performative and sculptural references to sugar that resonate with the legacy of Celia Cruz, Greene outlines how these artists use mediums such as molded glass sculptures, viscous wet plaster, and dazzling manikin heads to enhance the manifestations of Black identity. By foregrounding the sonic elements of their work, Greene demonstrates that these artists use sound to make themselves legible, recognizable, and audible.

Bailey's African Tradition Terminology
Author: Joseph A. Bailey
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781976539152
Category : Africa
Languages : en
Pages : 628
Book Description
Ancient African Terminology is a collection of terms assisting one to harmoniously "say what one means and mean what one says". Harmony implies complete adaptation of each part to the whole via perfect adjustments of all conditions. Its Essence derives from all word meanings originating out of Spiritually derived fixed Laws of Nature. Hence, "Knowing" is "Oneness of Involved Truth" of an Entity preceding its Mathematical Evolution onto all Cosmic Planes--Spiritual, Metaphysical, Mental, and Physical. Each Entity, as a vital integral part of a larger Cosmic System unit, has a rightful Belonging. Each Word Concept is an Abstract/Abstraction of the Essence of the Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural. To "See" Similarities in Dissimilar things--Uniqueness in Similarities-Common in the Uncommon-Uncommon in the Common--provides Insights into Truths. Truth expands Instinct abilities to see Essence Principles as Vibrating Cosmic Laws. Such enhances ones "Being With" and "Doing For" benefits of a "ME/WE" lifestyle. Ones Creativity arranges/combines derived mosaic Spiritual Elements pieces into interrelationships for unifying corresponding diversity into Reality. Applications of Results to African Tradition's Values embrace Life, Beauty, Goodness, Wellness, Human Perfection, and Happiness. Using these as Standards, enables detection of Disharmony. Then, Appropriate, Accurate, and Precision "Thinking Words" fashion proper Defense, Protection, and Counter-measures for anti-Spiritual Elements forces

Easternization of the West
Author: Colin Campbell
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317260910
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
In this provocative and groundbreaking book, Colin Campbell shows that the civilization of the West is undergoing a revolutionary process of change, one in which features that have characterized the West for two thousand years are in the process of being marginalized, to be replaced by those more often associated with the civilizations of the East. Moving far beyond popular trends, Campbell assembles a powerful range of evidence to show how "Easternization" has been building throughout the last century, especially since the 1960s. Campbell demonstrates how it was largely in the 1960s that new interpretations in theology, political thought, and science were widely adopted by a new generation of young "culture carriers." This highly original and wide-ranging book advances a thesis that will be of interest to scholars in many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
