“What does "sacred knowledge" mean? You've got to take Neteru esoteric secrecy classes and then be initiated??? You mean there are dudes who are authorized by other dudes to be privy to this magical information??? For what reason? Just to add egotistical elevated privilege? That comes from the later imperial thinkings of Kemet versus the original indigenous, earth-venerating culture that you spoke about existing for 140,000 years.”
--I would say that sacred knowledge is useful knowledge; knowledge that will still serve you after you have died; knowledge that gets you closer to the World of the Gods and the Ancestors. I don’t know where you get your notions about this maintaining of secrecy being a new thing. Over 140,000 years ago when we received the 77 commandments, that was one of the commandments—Thou shalt not reveal secrets. That one was actually from the Goddess Nw.
“It was only the "mystery system" to outsiders. Greeks labeled it mysterious. Hyksos named it mysterious. But to an indigenous, nature-centered culture, as Kemet was before being corrupted by man-made institutions and philosophies, both internal and external.”
--This is a belief of yours but it has no place in reality. One of Wsr’s titles is something like Wsr Unefer Ker Shesta. I think it means Wsr the Merciful Keeper of the Mysteries.
“You better have said that. Because you were on Set's curse list for what you said earlier, calling him evil and all.”
--Yes, I call Set evil, but I don’t judge him because He is a God and I am not and I have no place trying to force Him to conform to my human understanding of Him. But he is known as the manifestation of the spirit or force of evil; that’s from very long ago that he’s been known that way.
“Speaking of outsiders, it would have been persons such as yourself, who are taking instructions from a classroom instead of via experience and observation who would have been considered an outsider who found nature "mysterious".”
--I can’t help but to laugh at the absurdity of what you say here. Even at the simplest level I’m willing to accept that there are things I don’t understand. Being that I don’t understand those things, that makes them mysterious to me. Once I understand them, yes, they are no longer mysterious, but why don’t you try exercising some intellectual honesty instead of looking for things to criticize in me. I’ve worked as a healer. I’ve never dissected another human being or helped to embalm them, but I do trust the knowledge (and observations) that people who have come before me have had with respect to which organs we actually have, what they look like, and what is their function and purpose. Of course I’ve made my own observations in both the energetic and emotional realms like when I used to massage myself and noticed that different thoughts and emotions arose when I massaged different parts of my body. The conclusion I draw from this is that different emotions are stored in different parts of our bodies. But to say that I should cripple myself by relying only upon my own personal observations is not only silly, it’s impractical to the extreme. Knowledge is passed down from generation to generation; its purpose is to preserve life and each generation builds upon the knowledge of the past generations, we don’t start anew with each new birth.
The thing with some of Master Naba’s knowledge is that I can say I’ve applied it to my life and let it change me, therefore I reference it, because I’m not the source of that knowledge (neither in most cases is Master Naba). But to not recognize that we stand on the shoulders of giants (and dwarfs) is to be a bit too shortsighted. Spirituality is not a place of beliefs and faith, it is a realm of knowledge; it’s a technical field. I’m glad we have other people to learn from because the entire knowledge that is needed to preserve life will take more than one incarnation to uncover and is greater and more dynamic than the life experience of just one man or woman.
“Speaking of the ANKH, where are you in "Intro to Ankhic Principles"? My professor was really cool in that class. Who do you have?”
--I didn’t know that someone like you actually had a teacher. I don’t think we took the same classes, though, because I’ve never heard of that class. The Earth Center is really the same initiations that the pharaohs and their priests went through in ancient times up until these times, it’s not Muata Ashby or whomever else thinks they have an insider’s view of Kemetic culture. My teacher was Bikbaye. Where did you study this information?
