If you have been in the Black conscious community for any length of time, you have heard the term ma’at used.
Ma’at is the daughter of Ra – Supreme God of Kemetic culture – and is the goddess of truth, justice, divine order, and cosmic balance. Her polar opposite, Set, is the God of darkness and chaos. Therefore, when we discuss ma’at, we are discussing the opposite of destructive force. Ma’at is often shown with wing and carries an ankh, the key of life.
So important were the principles of order and cosmic balance to the rulers of Kemet that they would often carry an image of Ma’at seated as a sign that the Pharaoh represented her regime.
Judges in Kemet also wore an emblem of Ma’at on their chest, and all those who would become a part of society in Kemet were urged to seek Ma’at. Invoking the goddess Ma’at is appropriate for righting wrongs and to help truth and understanding emerge from any situation. Invoking Ma’at also brings one back to the primal beginnings of Earth, finding common ground, balance, and to embody righteousness.
When a person died, their soul was lead by Thoth, god of wisdom, into the Hall of Double Justice, to the presence of Osiris, Lord of the Dead, along with 42 Assessors, or Judges of Ma’at. The heart, which is a person’s essence, would be weighed in the Scales of Justice against Ma’at’s feather from her headdress. If the person had led a good life the heart would balance against the feather. If the person had committed one or more crimes against the divine rules, then it would weigh heavier and would be eaten by the goddess Ammut, thereby to die the eternal death.
Those that balanced would be led by Ma’at to Osiris, and be permitted to join with the celestial goddesses and gods for all eternity. The Declaration of Innocence that the deceased were judged against were written in The Book of Coming Forth by Day (The Book of the Dead) as follows:
I have not committed a sin.
I have not committed robbery with violence.
I have not stolen.
I have not slain men and women.
I have not stolen grain.
I have not purloined offerings.
I have not stolen the property of God.
I have not uttered lies.
I have not carried away food.
I have not uttered curses.
I have not committed adultery; I have not lain with men.
I have made none to weep.
I have not eaten the heart.
I have not attacked any man.
I am not a man of deceit.
I have not stolen cultivated land.
I have not been an eavesdropper.
I have not slandered.
I have not been angry without any cause.
I have not debauched the wife of any man.
I have not debauched the wife of man.
I have not polluted myself.
I have terrorized none.
I have not transgressed.
I have not been a person of wrath.
I have not shut my ears to the words of truth.
I have not blasphemed.
I am not a man of violence.
I have not been a stirrer up of strife.
I have not acted with undue haste.
I have not pried into matters.
I have not multiplied my words in speaking.
I have wronged none, I have done no evil.
I have not worked witchcraft against the king.
I have never stopped water.
I have never raised my voice.
I have not cursed God.
I have not acted with arrogance.
I have not stolen the bread of the gods.
I have not carried away the khenfu cakes from the Spirits of the dead.
I have not snatched away the bread of a child, nor treated with contempt the god of my city.
I have not slain the cattle belonging to God.
Compare these laws to the 10 Commandments of the Old Testament in Christianity while keeping in mind that these laws preceded the Bible (as we know it) by thousands of years. The 10 Commandments of the Torah (Old Testament) are as follows:
I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s.
The 10 Commandments of Christianity were said to have been delivered by Moses ‘The Law Giver’. But according to the Bible, Moses was educated in Kemet. As a member of the royal house, Moses was taught the ‘Mystery Systems’, or what we have come to know as Kemetic Science, and his education most certainly included the Declarations of Maat.
Typically when the Bible is brought up in conversation, what comes to mind is a source of truth that has not been tampered with. However, when this book was originally published it contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve? The Vatican Church or Roman catholic church has been associated with deception for ages. Their atrocities have ranged from genocide many centuries ago against the Cathars to child molestation is more recent years. The Bible was originally translated from Latin into English in 1611. This “original” Bible contained 80 books, including the Apocrypha, which means hidden. These Apocrypha books made up the end of the Old Testament, and included the following books: • 1 Esdras • 2 Esdras • Tobit • Judith • The rest of Esther • The Wisdom of Solomon • Ecclesiasticus • Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah • The Songs of the...
An approximately 1,500-2,000-year-old Bible found in Turkey has left the Vatican in shock because it allegedly confirms that Jesus Christ wasn’t crucified as has come to be widely believed. The Bible, which was discovered in 2000 and kept in secret in Ankara’s Ethnography Museum, contains the gospel of Jesus’ disciple Barnabas. The gospel claims that Christ was neither crucified nor was he God’s son. Instead, it says he was just a prophet. The book also refers to Apostle Paul as “The Impostor” and further claims that Christ ascended back to heaven alive, with Judas Iscariot being crucified in his place. The now controversial book was recovered during an operation in the Mediterranean-area as authorities went against a gang that smuggles antiquities and illegal explosives, says a report by The National Turk. The old book is currently valued at a whopping 40 million Turkish Liras, approximately $28 million. Experts and religious bodies have examined the book an...
“…The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better than the others who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these people portray and depict their gods and their idols black and their devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are black and the devils are all white. That is why they portray them as I have described.” – Marco Polo,after visiting the Pandyan Kingdom in 1288 More than a thousand years before the foundations of Greece and Rome, proud and industrious Black men and women known as the Dravidian erected a powerful civilization in the Indus Valley. From those origins, African Kings in India drove the region’s commerce, culture, and belief systems. Dr. Clyde Winters, author of Afrocentrism: Myth or Science? writes: “Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. ...
Many melanated minds in America and around the world suffer from either post traumatic slave syndrome, or extreme ignorance due to lack of education. This is the intentional and collateral damage from the campaigns of religion and systematic white supremacy. Traditionally, melanated people have always had a culture that infused a high sense of self worth into its community members. We like to add personality and dramatic flair to all human activities. We like to decorate ourselves in fine fashions and luxurious jewelry. It is in our nature to want to shine, to be seen, to be recognized and admired. It wasn’t until our civilizations were demolished, our cultures were infiltrated, our ability to be self-sustaining was sabotaged, and our gods turned white that we began to carry on as a subservient peasant amongst those whom lack the mental, physical, and spiritual potential to be our equals. Stop thinking like a slave. The meek will NOT inherent the earth. W...
The 5 Percent Nation, also known as the Nation of Gods and Earths teach that the Black man is GOD, ALLAH, and supreme. But is this the truth? If the Black man is God, how do you explain his position in the world today? The 5 Percent Nation Teach That The Black Man Is The Original Man For decades, the 5 Percent Nation taught that the Black man is the Original man. Those who didn’t understand their message dismissed the claim as pseudoscience. But today, all scientific evidence points to Africa as the cradle of humankind. Anthropologists confirm that there is indeed a genetic “Adam” – the first human man described in the Bible – who came out of Africa as far back as 300,000 years ago. Scientists came to this conclusion by tracing the Y chromosomes of hundreds of thousands of men from around the world. Their findings also revealed that the first “human” was a woman. “You can ultimately trace every female lineage back to a single Mitochondrial Eve who li...
We are physical manifestations of the infinitely expanding creative force of the universe. We are made of the black, transmutable, life-bringing, multi-dimensional, super conductive substance of the universe. There is nothing we should be afraid of, there’s nothing we can’t do, because the universe is mental and the mind is all. Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding should lead you to the realization that there is no mystery god in the sky, only the supreme circumstance of the melanated mind. After much investigation, it became clear that the original black man is the father of civilization and the original black woman is the mother of civilization. Not only that, but the source of power of the original people is the mind. The mind is not a thing, but rather an organizing force. That organizing force is demonstrated in our individual existences, as well as our collective existence. Those organizing forces (the individual minds and collective mind) created, maintains and expa...
The answers to the questions you have are already inside of you if you know how to look. “Start living as if you don’t know how to live. Nobody is there to teach you, no guidelines exist. No books exist which say how to do this, how to do that. You are just left alone on an island. Everything is available: Intelligence is within you, instinct is within you, intellect is within you, intuition is within you. Now start moving.” – OSHO Imagine you are the first human ever to walk the earth. It’s just you and the planet. No one is around to teach you: how to live, how to think, how to eat, etc. There’s no books, instruction manuals or traditions to help show you the way. It’s just you, and your own divine mind. It’s up to you to decide what’s “right” and “wrong”, what’s “good” or “bad”, what’s possible and what’s not possible, what’s necessary and what’s not necessary. All these things can be figured it out inside of yourself without the help of anyone else, I mean, did...
The world has been made to believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America. But sorry to break your heart, that is a whitewashed lie, just like many other historic accounts our people have been made to believe . During four separate voyages to discover the so-called new world , Columbus landed on various Caribbean islands that are now known as the Bahamas as well as the island later called Hispaniola. He started with the first one in 1492. He later traveled and explored the Central and South American coasts. But he never reached North America, which, of course, was already inhabited by Native Americans, and other African civilizations, and he never thought he had found a new continent. It is also important to note that the Norse explorer Leif Erikson reached Canada perhaps 500 years before Columbus was born, and there are some who believe that Phoenician sailors had crossed the Atlantic much earlier than that. We will go straight into debunking this...
John G. Jackson’s “Christianity Before Christ” thoroughly proves with non-biased historical references that nothing is new or original in Christianity. Click to Order! He proves that the story of “Jesus” came from a long tradition of “Savior God Cults” throughout world history. For someone who is a religious fanatic this of course would be “blasphemous”, but I bet the same person who is offended by the suggestion that the story of Jesus not being original has never indulged in serious historical literature. More than likely the only book they read is the bible and their entire historical reference is based on the bible, this is dangerous. According to John G. Jackson’s “Christianity Before Christ”: “Comparative hierologists have discovered records of about thirty Savior-God religions. These cults have spread over all the world in very remote times, but they show evidence of a common origin. The various Savior-Gods had the following similar traits: They were born o...
With an estimated of $400 billion USD, Mansa Musa I of Mali is considered to be the wealthiest man in the history of humanity. PUBLICIDAD The other day, I was watching a documentary about those iconic men who made fortunes in America by bringing industrialization to the country. Of course, the documentary included Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, and John D. Rockefeller, all of whom had a great idea that turned them into the wealthiest men in the world. Today's billionaires don't even come close to those legendary tycoons. For instance, Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos, has been crowned this year as the wealthiest man on Earth with about $118 billion USD, beating Bill Gates's $90 billion, but it was John D. Rockefeller who amassed a fortune of an estimated $300 billion in today’s currency. However, not even Rockefeller could top Mansa Musa, the man whose legacy is even richer than his wealth, and who has been forgotten by history, or at least in the Western wor...
