    An African proverb I've heard that enlightened and sustains me...
    "The good teacher works to help the student to remember things that they already know".
    This man is a good teacher.

    Excellent information. I began to awaken at age 42. I learned through intense research my history. "Urithi wangu ni Balanta na Zulu." I began learning Swahili to communicate better with the Mother Continent Alkebulan. I shed the slave name forced upon my Ancestors and found my parents original tribes from wince they were stolen. The freedom of Afrikan Spirituality is more than liberating! Ubuntu Ma'at Ase' 🙏🏿 🇬🇼🇰🇪🇿🇦🇺🇸 UKULWA 👊🏿

    People now confuse love with being on heat. We can recognize that animals go on heat for procreation but when it comes to humans we color it up as love and so we fail coz heat is just that. It passes. Love on the other hand come through once we engage with our higher self to seek the higher self in another we get a wonderful relationship and experience true love.

      The Holy Bible (KJV).
      Having the zeal to follow the traditions of our ancestors does not mean we are doing the right thing.
      Yahweh, the Creator of the universe and our creator is the one and only God. All this Idolatry and false Spirituality with the dead only lead to Demons.
      Stop following doctrines of demons. The devil is not your friend, a liar, a deceiver, a destroyer.
      You cannot be a God, Yahweh is God.
