Honoring Ancestors

Africans Reject their Ancestors

Today I sit here extremely perplexed by African Americans estrange relationship we have with our ancestors. Many refuse to even identify with African history, culture and ancestors, as a minister of metaphysics this is a display of spiritual deformity. The total rejection of one's true-self if we can't accept all portions of our being we are rejecting ourselves. The act of accepting self unconditionally is the first step to spiritual healing not only for ourselves but for our ancestors as well. This spiritual healing is needed to allow Africans to be whole spiritually , mentally collectively as a people who share the same skin tone.

It is a pain deep within I feel when I witness African reject themselves, instantly I see the unrest in the African ancestral spirits. How can our ancestors truly rest in peace when we don't love ourselves?
 How can we truly love our future generations if we don't love our past? We reject the notion of connecting with our African roots, it frightens me that many African can't feel this, we have many ancestors that rest in shallow graves never to be discovered. It is these ancestors voices that speaks through us to tell their story and acknowledge their lives.

On many occasions I have taken the opportunity to reach out to my African brothers and sisters on social media to create a platform to honor our ancestors. I get good feedback for such a platform, however when I schedule the meeting no one shows up (https://youtu.be/j6b7uFmalm0). What does this mean? It could mean several things, some Africans may think social media is adequate enough to express these thoughts, some may be uncomfortable with the new awareness of the African culture, last but not least peer pressure the need to conform to avoid rejection from mainstream society. Let me also include the fact it could be simply me, my personality, people will reject others for their own reasons.

What is the answer to resolve this issue? My individual resolution is to find and connect with other Africans who are sincere about an African ancestor platform. So I speak to your spirit sincere Africans let us connect.  The truth is a painful reality that many Africans simply don't or won't connect with their African culture or ancestors. It is not many Africans who really comprehend the importance of honoring African ancestors.

Conscious and Spiritual Foods

The role of diet in the conscious and spiritual community has been a big buzz for topic of discussion. We have many individuals becoming vegans and this is causing a little concern for others who are not vegans. Swami Vivekananda (spiritual teacher) once said “You believe that you have to live in a certain way, eat certain foods, perform certain rituals to be holy, but if you could only see that if you wish to be spiritually free or whole. All you have to do is stand up and be free.” Swami also said “A cow eat grass all of its life, but have you ever seen a cow become a saint.”

The key to living a more spiritual conscious lifestyle is not eating certain types of food. Some teachers or individuals make a religion out of what others eat. A proper balance diet can have positive effects of one’s meditation practice. The truth is not eating meat does cause sensitive response to meditation but this is due to a change in energy the body is receiving less energy (protein) because of this meatless diet. Therefore, this lack of energy sends a message to the body and mind. When the mind lacks energy it has limited barriers so the hold is weak it is easy for the mind to let go and explore itself in meditation. This process is actually called “The Exhaustion Principle", it is also applied to fasting.

Does it make a person more spiritual if they are vegan? Absolutely not, vegans and individuals who fast have simply allowed themselves to become sensitive to the response of meditation by shifting their energy. One who is being totally led by their Higher Mind will intuitively eat the right foods at the right time and will choose physical activities the body will enjoy. There are no judgements against vegans, fasters, or meat eaters each are valid if careful not to become extreme and become delusional that one is only holy because of a certain diet.

 The body is intuitive if we are attuned to our bodies we can listen to what the body needs. We must think of food as energy our mental, physical, and spiritual body needs the intermingling of certain energy in certain types of foods. Trust your higher mind and instincts you will be guided to the certain foods your mind and body needs.
