They have nature and structure of African mind that makes thoughts organized according to Western (Aristotelian) logic incomprehensible to them. Converse is also true, namely, thoughts organized according to multicausality logic (re “Prelogic”–Lucien Lévi-Bruhl (1857-1939) is incomprehensible to people with nature and structure of non-African minds. We must recognize this barrier to communication among races, if we desire to solve the problem of rage and violent response to shootings by police. The problem to my mind is not whether the shootings are justified under the law. We ought to address concerns of confrontations that end with shootings. We, at Aruokun Ancestral Community (AAC), know how.
The family is the building block of every society, so says the Western sociologist. African family is complex, and does not follow sociologists’ idea of the family. This puts American planners and law-enforcement agencies in a quandary. Unarmed African Americans will always J-walk and violate laws such that they would often end being shot dead by the police. Such shootings are fueling violent expression of rage to the frustration of the establishment. Managing violence as with body cameras, for example, will not work in the end, unless they can manage underlying nature of the African American. Giving insight into that nature is my concern.
What then is the nature of Africans in African and in the Diaspora? I can only hint at it in a blog. I am unraveling it in a book. Meanwhile, following idea of what our elders say we are, African being comprised first of muddled hybrids; the mix of hybrids joined other entities such as ghoul or animal form, and took human form.
Our forebears conceptualized a person as muddled hybrids of many spiritual and other agents or entities. They named one among them Ogun. Ogun n Ebo is Ogun in action as harbinger of rage in us. They had their cults. The priesthood initiated people and gave them witchcraft potions. Goal was to manage Ogun to overcome rage and madness it caused.
Millennium-long initiations and consumption of witchcraft potions zombified us, stifling our intelligence and creativity. Africans (including of course African Americans) cannot cope with challenges of existence in a modern world. We are ridden by rage, tantrums, and frenzy. We are destroying the family, nation, and race by destroying us.
The African has come to be described as stupid (e g G. W. F. Hegel). {5691(Baker: Race)} (Quoted in Dahra Hargaalga Snr, “Take Over Control Without Physical Violence” (TOC) Ch One. Some scientists expressed belief that the black person bears a gene for idiocy (e g professor James Watson, the 2007 noble price winner for chemistry).
We should note lessons from our critiques. “The Negroes of Africa have received from nature no intelligence that rises above the foolish (David Hume 1711 to1776). . . He asserted that, “among the hundred thousands of blacks who have been seduced away from their countries, although very many of them have been set free, yet not a single one has ever been found that has performed anything great whether in art (humanities) or science or in any other laudable subject; among the whites, people constantly rise up from the lowest rabble and acquire esteem through their superior gifts. . . . (ibid)
Although I do not agree in all respects with Hume, Hegel, or Watson, we are different owing to our language and resultant culture devoid of arts and sciences. These differences put us at the receiving end of laws in modern world.
The African in Africa did not have written theology, ideology, or political treatise. Nature, structure, and working of our minds meant that we could not live with institutions and societies based on Western ideologies and theology. Societies, we in Africa inherited, for example, from colonial masters have been mismanaged to the extent that some are muting the wish for return of past colonial masters!
Every institution is corrupted. These include Judiciary, defense, health, education, administration or civil service, parliament, and running of governments at any level. Africans were not the architects who designed structures you see as stadiums, airports, administrative blocks of banks and other corporate entities; foreign architects or engineers designed and constructed them all. They also designed and built flyovers and bridges you find in our cities. Building materials as iron rods and cement were all imported.
Corruption is so rife; we cannot produce sound graduates from our Universities. Nigeria as an example is the twelfth largest producer of crude oil. Yet, we import finished petroleum products. Nigeria, a Nation, generates and distributes (after fifty years of self-rule) electricity far lower than either Johannesburg (South African capital) or Cairo (Egyptian capital).
Worse of all, our gods and ancestors are corrupt and advance corruption through soothsayers, priests, imams, clergy, and other messengers of God. African Americans share the meme, as condition that led Hegel, Hume, and Watson, to make their unsavory remarks.
Peculiarities Of Mind—No Defect
The nature, structure, and working of our minds are primary causes of peculiarities different from white people. These peculiarities are no defects. They do not make the African or African American inferior to others. It does not require a cure.
We perceive reality differently and arrange it according to non-Western logic. (Re “Prelogic”–Lucien Lévi-Bruhl (1857-1939)
Initiation rituals, combined with the potions that we ingest in process of initiation, modify brains thereby inhibiting intelligence. Initiations and rituals continue also among African Americans to date. Failure to contribute to fullest potential, to human development and civilization, reflects the consequent inability. Our peculiarities are no defects; they neither owe to curses from any Deity, nor genes. True causes are the initiation potions combined with structure of our language and working of our minds.
Delivering America, Africa, and the world where Africans form significant part of the Nation is feasible, if and only if, planning includes care and deliverance of the muddled hybrids that they are, rather than people as conceived in the West.
Consequences Of Idolatry
Idolatry is consequence of corruption of Gods and ancestors, combined with nature and working of our minds. The mental block of idolatry is formidable barrier to accessing the cardinal concepts that modify perception of reality, necessary for coping with the human experience in modern age.
The quest for salvation or enlightenment has not been part of idolatry and our traditions as Africans. We have been primarily concerned about offerings to appease vexatious gods and ancestors.
We have songs, myths, tales, and fables with moral content; there is no speculative philosophy. This applies also to African Americans despite living in America.
Blaming slavery for apparent deficiencies in our personality is no longer tenable as other races known, as the Slavonic countries, were once slaves. Indeed, the word slave was coined on their account. They are now advanced, such that supper power rose among them, namely, Russia.
Why otherwise have we failed where “among the whites, people constantly rise up from the lowest rabble and acquire esteem through their superior gifts. . . ? Concomitant challenge is, “How do we unleash otherwise endowed powers of deliverance in each of us to dislodge the witchcraft entity acquired through initiations and rituals? We should deliver us, so we all, white, black, and people of other colors can live together peacefully.
African Population Incarnation Of Mixture Of Hybrids
Our people expressly believe that the soul or spirit in a baby could come from various worlds, such as the plant world, animal kingdom–reptiles e g snakes, crocodiles, and alligators; mammals, e g pigs, cow, dogs, monkey, and rodents; birds e g vultures, hawk, and condors; e g fish among others. Souls could be from outside these and come from the kingdom of spirits and demons. They could be river or water spirits, spirits of the forest or pristine countryside, and spirits of hills.
Ababe is a condition of the personality closely linked to African witchcraft and initiations. Meaning includes nature of ghoul. Witchcraft entity that develops owing to potions eaten as part of initiation rituals develops to become ababe. Main attribute is ability to cause evil influences in the nature of lives of target. They are the agents of chief priests; they cause rage in people.
Population of muddled hybrid of people with ababe has brains of beasts listed above. Ababe in Africans in Africa or America is cause of brutishness and rage. This knowledge is trite among our people.
Targets of ababe in America who have no access to appease these may travel ten thousand miles to Africa for initiations into various cults. Some Christians travel from South Africa to Nigeria for prayers.
Illiteracy Our Bane
There is a link between illiteracy, stupidity, and rage in people. The nature and structure of mind that impedes reason and learning, promotes rage. You would notice that in communities like Ferguson, the racial divide, illiteracy, and violation of the law coincide with levels of illiteracy and lack of academic achievements. This is the conclusion of Journalists native to America that I read on the genesis of the cause of violence (there and elsewhere in America). The conclusion applies to regions in West Africa (including Nigeria where insurgency is afoot).
African American in America bears the nature, structure, and working of mind of the African, as do other Africans everywhere; hence, the problems of illiteracy among them, despite American level of industrialization and civilization. They form a parallel subculture. Root causes of illiteracy and lack of higher education are in psyche or nature and structure of minds of African Americans and African Africans. The Oboiro (as Ebo master) offers solution that addresses the problems at levels of nature, structured, and working of African minds. (Contact us.)
Compare literacy ratio in white population of America or Africa, on one hand, with ratio in African population, on the other hand, and discover black population are more than eighty percent uneducated—“dropouts”. They have nature and structure of African mind that makes thoughts organized according to Western (Aristotelian) logic incomprehensible to them. Converse is also true, namely, thoughts organized according to multicausality logic (re Prelogic–Lucien Lévi-Bruhl (1857-1939) is incomprehensible to people with nature and structure of non-African minds.
We ought not to gloss over this real barrier to communication between the races, if we desire to solve the problem of rage and violent response to shootings by police. The problem to my mind is not whether the shootings are justified under the law. We ought to address concerns of confrontations that end with shootings.
Solution
Original Africans had powers in them before alterations in nature, structure, and working of their minds. Rage was not the sole powers present in the source; rather, Ogun was as still is. Ogun manifests as frenzy in initiates when they are possessed or in trance during religious ceremonies. People were initiated in attempt to manage Ogun, rather than to manage rage. However, mismanagement of Ogun resulted in rage, frenzy and madness of muddled hybrids. Rage or madness became focus of the wise of old.
Ogun ignored leads to disorganized life and existence, which lead to coming in conflict with ordered society or the criminal laws. Ignoring Ogun is not a choice. How do we cope with management of Ogun in modern times and Nation as USA?
Demons evolved from spiritual entities our forebears created. Physical violence also illustrates manipulations by agents of demons. Cultists, people obsessed with these and other witchcraft related ababe “psych” targets to rage and violations of criminal laws.
Ebo master (or Obo) can deliver with Ebo; Ebo as power includes intelligence, power of understanding, and comprehension. We must unleash ebo of the bones to dislodge the witchcraft entities, robotic hybrid demons, “Gods and ancestors”, and cocooned powers in us.
I have delivered me by Ebo. I bear the evidence that we can be delivered.
