The Egyptian Roots Of Why We Say Amen After Prayer

-


Christianity is currently the largest religion on the planet, with an estimated 2.2 billion followers worldwide, making up a staggering 31% of the earth’s population. The overriding message of religion is that of peace, acceptance and love, although unfortunately many followers (and teachers) do not practice in this way.
One of the words that are most commonly spoken in Christianity is the word “Amen” this can be spoken after prayer, before and after meals or when someone says something holy. The agreed upon definition for the word “Amen” is “so be it” like an affirmation of your action or speech. However, many followers of the bible believe it has many meanings such as- to take care, to be faithful, reliable or established, or to believe someone or something.
If you go a little further back in time there is a very strong link to Amen and Egypt. Amen (Amun) is the Egyptian god known as “king of the gods” and it is believed he was later emulated by the Greek god Zeus.
Above is the typical depiction of Amun, with two plumes on his head, with the ankh in his left hand and the was sceptre in the right.
After the merging with the sun god “Ra” to become Amun-Ra he became the singular god for worship in the New Kingdom of Egypt.  This period was under the rule of Akhenaten and ran from 16th to 11th centuries BC. Amun-Ra was seen as the the manifestation of absolute perfection and Akhenaten elevated his position to that of the singular god for worship in the New Kingdom, meaning Amun-Ra was thought of as what Christians would now call “God”.
There is a heavily play on words that flow over into our current vocabulary of Ra- translated to Sun- and sun also being the word of a different spelling for a male child “Son” meaning the words of Amen and Ra combined represent the father (Amen) and the Son (Ra), with the holy spirit being the projection of Amen’s spirit to the son- making the holy trinity. To add to this the physical sun within our sky could be looked upon as the Son of God (Amen) being that it is a physical force that gives life to all of humanity. The sun being the ultimate manifestation of God’s giving.
Cross over in religion is certainly nothing new and much of that which exists within 1 religion flows over to the next. Maybe there is no right or wrong religion, but that each is a piece to a bigger puzzle that can only be put together through the acceptance and perhaps the crossing over of the many religions.  
Amen as an affirmation to the Egyptian king of the gods should not put Christians off saying it, as in reality- what Christians call God actually represents the same thing. There are crossovers between the stories of Mother Mary and Jesus compared to Isis and Horus. Osiris and Set compared to God and Satan. Maybe the stories will continue to repeat in different ways for future generations, so that those with a different level of consciousness can understand the same metaphorical value in a more congruent way.
I say amen to a beautiful society that accepts everyone regardless of which God they pray (or don’t pray) too. Please share this article!

Vatican In Shock As 1,500-Year-Old Bible Claims Jesus Wasn’t Crucified

-
Image
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 and agree t

The Vatican Removed 14 Books From the Bible In 1684 With No Real Explanation

-
Image
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 3 Holy children • The

Astrology And The Cosmic Parental Connection

The following was written by Digansela Ubuntu. Born DeAndre Fears, Digansela Ubuntu is an Alumni of Hume-Fogg Academic, and is currently a University of Memphis student of Geography. His strong Baptist Christian background and passion for the culture of our melanin-rich people leads his never-ending quest to make the truth known to masses. Let me start by asking this question: When is the last time you have considered astrology? Most people would disregard the study, as they usually think only of horoscopes and many find horoscopes silly. But, astrology? Is there a difference between astrology and horoscopes? Astrology is the study of the stars and their vastly unexplored effect of phenomena and events in the human world. Learning about the stars actually helps we better understand ourselves. Think of the Principle Law of Correspondence which states, “as above, so below.” Following this method, as we continue to seek knowledge about the vastness of space, we, indeed, should

Marijuana cures homosexuality A scientist in Florida is claiming that his recent concluded study has proven that  marijuana  has the potential of curing homosexuality, especially among lesbians. Scientist, Dr. Michael Berger, from Tampa, said he conducted his study over a two year period and is expecting the study to be published in the scientific journal later this year. According to Dr. Berger, the potent aphrodisiac in marijuana not only aroused the participants in the study but in most cases their arousals were for the opposite sex, regardless if the participant checked heterosexual or homosexual. In one study, Dr. Berger took 30 female spring breakers to Key West, 15 of whom were heterosexuals and the other 15 were lesbians. All 30 had lunch in their hotel rooms, smoke a marijuana joint and then went walking on one of the sexiest Key West beaches. 14 of the heterosexuals felt in the mood to have sex during their walk. All 15 of the lesbians were in the mood for sex but

Akanfo (ah-kahn'-foh) in the Twi language of the Akan means Akan people. Akanfo originated in ancient Khanit , also called Keneset (Ancient Nubia), at the beginning of human existence upon Asaase (Earth). This is the region of contemporary Sudan and South Sudan in the Eastern region of Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) . We eventually migrated around the world. Some Akanfo migrated north of Khanit and settled ancient Kamit (ancient Egypt), while others remained in Khanit. Over the millennia, Akanfo migrated to West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (West Africa) establishing the ancient civilization of Akana (Khanat - Ghana). Some Akanfo were also a component of the Kanem empire (pre-Bornu), the original/authentic Black Berber empire (Abibiri-fo) and the Kong empire (Kan) before ultimately migrating to and settling in the areas of contemporary Ghana (Akana) and Ivory Coast. Akanfo presently comprise approximately 45.3 percent of the population of Ghana (11,000,000) and approximately 42

The 5 Hidden Teachings Of Kemetic Yoga Every Initiate Should Know

Share Tweet Subscribe Pinterest Kemetic Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years as a way to refine the mind, body, and spirit of the African Spirituality Initiate. The West has popularized (and commercialized) Ayurvedic style yoga, its postures, and its health benefits. But when it came to the practice of postures, our ancestors in Kemet called the exercise Tjef Sema Paut Neteru which means “Movements to promote union with the gods and goddesses”. To them, yoga was far more than physical exercise – it was a path to Ascension. Kemetic Yoga’s Stolen Legacy There has been a debate in the Black Conscious community as to whether Kemetic Yoga is just a knock-off version of Indian Yoga. While the world has accepted this claim to be true, students of Black Consciousness are encouraged to look deeper at the origins real yoga practice. The word yoga itself comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj,” (pron. “yug”) meaning “to join”, “to unite” or “to subjugate”. Yoga is w

The Matrix. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there's something very wrong with the world. You don't know what it is - but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? The Matrix? Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room.

It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. What truth? That you are a slave Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch - a prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can

The government has been preparing for the day the Original Man/Woman (so-called Black Man and Woman) wake up out of sleep and return to our true divine form. They know who we are, where we came from and what we can do. They’re not getting ready for some green aliens to come out of the sky, they know the Original Man/Woman IS the extraterrestrial that brought supreme knowledge of the universe to this planet as well as other planets. So they are preparing for the day we rise out of these earthly limitations and return to being “Angels”, “Light Beings”, “Gods”, “Super Heroes” or as I like to say, “ multi-dimensional physical manifestations of the infinitely expanding creative force of the universe “.

The Black Man Is God And Other Teachings Of The 5 Percent Nation

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 lived in Af
