Dr. Jewel Pookrum quote:
I clearly understand that every experience that we have is an opportunity for us to grow,and to learn more about ourselves, and truly it is an initiation into our (god- self),now please pay close attention to what I'm saying,because When you look into the dictionary if you look at the definition to what a god is, it is actually a tittle that is bestowed upon a human being. It is not the proper tittle to give to that creates all things,known and unknown to us! That's a totally different entity. And as a matter of fact god essence and (god-ship) is part of your destiny and part of your birthright.
Our history our culture our symbols are all over the word'but many of us don't know there ours! all of this! these concepts, begin with this concept,this story which is part history part mythology',but mythology is important because it represents a higher aspect of life'. myths are necessary for human kind to develop.Anthony T. Browder
'The events which transpired five thousand years ago; Five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years From now or five thousand years from now. All history is a current event.' Dr. John Henrik Clarke
'No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.' Alice Walker
'The most disastrous aspect of colonization which you are the most relunctant to release from your mind is their colonization of the image of God.' Dr. Frances Cress-Welsing
Why We Study Kemet (Egypt)
The civilization of Ancient Egypt lasted longer than the entire span of what we have come to accept as 'recorded history': over three thousand years. During these millenia the Egyptians developed a multitude of gods and goddesses, as well as esoteric practices that we are still unravelling the meaning of. Besides this, Egypt was the source of the first true monothestic religion, under the pharaoh Akhenaton. This rich tradition was mostly unknown until the early nineteenth century, when the Egyptian language was finally deciphered.

LAND OF THE GODS:
Purpose of Life and EducationThe basic Egyptian philosophical view was that every human’s purpose was to live righteously and become a God, so Egyptians spent much of their time developing their divinity. Formal education was one avenue Egyptians used to attain life’s purpose. Kemet’s scholars and priests taught the Seven Liberal Arts in the Mystery Schools to liberate the person’s soul from its bodily abode, which would allow the student to ultimately reach the level of Spiritual Consciousness.
The intention of formal education was to bring out and develop the “good” or “divine” element already inside a person. Studying Grammar, Rhetoric and Logic, for example, would remove a person’s “irrational tendencies of behavior” because these subjects were conveyors for moral development. Furthermore, the study of math and astronomy, two of the Seven Liberal Arts, not only helped students understand the dimensions of the world and universe, but it also helped to create relationships with heavenly bodies. Egyptians believed that connected to understanding how the world and universe naturally work was goodness.
Once a person becomes a God, he or she lives forever, just like Atum. Embedded in Ancient Kemet’s creation story is the idea that every person born on earth is human or mortal, and the only way one could become a God like Osiris is to live a righteous life and pass Osiris’s divine evaluation. To live righteously, one had to follow the 42 Divine Principles of Maat, the Goddess of Social Justice and Peace: “I have not lied. I have not stolen. I have not murdered…”
Importance of BalanceThe effort to maintain balance and order in their lives contributed to Egyptians’ tendency to think holistically. There was no problem with simultaneously practicing monotheism and polytheism. It was an integral part of Egyptian culture. This is evident when Akenten IV (Akhenaten IV 1370 - 1352) ascends the throne. He explicitly imposed monotheism by discarding all other Gods in favor of worshiping one God, Aten. Kemet’s influential priests disagreed with Pharaoh Akenten’s actions here. They did not understand why Akenten made this decision because monotheism was already in existence. The priests probably thought that Akenten was not only losing his sense of balance, but he was also overstating his case for monotheistic practices.
The people of Kemet studied the physical world and universe through understanding and applying math and science, but they paid just as much attention to the unseen world - the Gods, emotions and feelings. The unification of Amen and Ra is the personification of holistic thinking and the concept of balance in Kemet: Amen (hidden, unseen)-Ra (solar, sun, seen). Since Egyptians saw science and spirituality as complimentary, as well as other polar opposites, they always interpreted the world and universe through both entities.
