A Modern and Ma’atical Redress for the Issues That Confront Today’s Afrakan

During the wake for Dr Yosef Ben-Jochannan held at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem on Thursday, April 9th 2015, Heru Ankh Ra Semahj SePtah, presiding elder of the Shrine of Ptah, called for the formation of a MA’AT MILITIA. While militias have traditionally armed themselves with weapons of violence- guns, knives, swords, etc. This MA’AT Militia will have a different purpose. We will arm ourselves with MA’AT ethical codes in order to address contemporary issues which plague our AfraKAmenta communities. Our ancient SMAI TAUWI Nile Valley ancestors left us 42 Confessions of MA’AT which we honor, and which will remain intact as written on ancient papyri. Due to the passing of time and changing of lifestyle, we people of Afrakan ascent are challenged to supplement our MA’AT ethical codes.

Throughout “ourstory” of Nile Valley Afrakan Civilization, there were periodic internal disruptions and foreign invasions. Our ancestors governed themselves by the spiritual culture of MA’AT, SMAI TAUWI. The periodic interruptions known in Egyptology as “intermediate periods”, caused the breakdown of the Maatian order of harmony and prosperity that existed in the nation. Each time this occured a leader arose from the southern region of Nubia/Kush to restore MA’AT. With the last foreign (Arab) invasion of SMAI TAUWI in 640A.D. the spiritual culture of MA’AT became almost extinct. Western Egyptology is fascinated and in awe of the magnificent architecture, jewelry and art of the ancient Afrakans of the Nile yet they fail to elaborate on what they’ve discovered concerning the spiritual, ethical culture of MA’AT practiced and lived by the Afrakans of the Nile. The reason is simple; western man has been at war with harmonious nature and indigenous people whenever and wherever encountered.

The ancient ancestors from the southern regions of Nubia and Kush who restored MA’AT (order), accomplish the task by invoking the Divine Creative Principle of PTAH. PTAH in Khamitic kosmology was referred to as the “Opener of the Way” and the Restorer of a new foundation. Today, we ancestral ascendants of this great civilization are awakening in AMENTA (the West). Our consciousness has been awakened by the works, words and legacy of our esteemed ancestors, elders, and scholars. Some of us, therefore, have made the decision to correct our present condition of spiritual, cultural and ethical exile through the restoration and application of SERUCH MA’AT – SMAI TAUWI (The Restoration of Ancestral Truth and Unity)

We Khamurian Melanoids, visible members of a photonic race are earth’s Elders. We carry in our very skin the melanic memory of our cosmic solar/star and earthly Afrakan origins. For this visible kiss of the sun we are alternately envied and vilified. Today many among us have been effectively brain stained. In this condition we unwittingly serve the genocidal designs of the psycho-pseudo leucoderms.

We so-called “black” people, are honest and brave enough to claim some of the responsibility for some of the conditions that assail us. High on the list are in-house divisive religions, homicides, drive-by’s, jealousy, envy and back biting. This suicidal and psychotic behavior makes a mockery of the fact that “”BLACK LIVES MATTER”. If we fail to Love, Respect, Protect and Honor our own and each other’s lives, why should we expect others to care about, respect, and honor our lives?

In utilizing the spelling Af-ra-ka we honor both our Divine cosmic source and anthropological origin on the continent commonly spelled Africa. In the ancient Metu Neter (hieroglyphics) the syllable Af means flesh, Ra means the hidden sun and Ka means soul essence. The word AfrakaMenta is a complete and non-hyphenated identification referencing and uniting our eastern origin and western presence. Being simultaneously conscious of this dual reality, we utilize, invoke and reclaim the Ma’aticratic thought pattern of our ancient Nile Valley Smai Tauwi ancestors.

By prefacing these 42 New Ethical KA’venants of MA’AT with “not do I”, we adopt the pattern of our ancient Nile Valley ancestors who prefaced the ancient confessions of MA’AT with “not have I”. The “not have I” (so called “Negative Confessions”) were recited by priests during transition ceremonies for the deceased. Today, “not do I” can be uttered by we the living, as an ethical self-purifying and self-policing tool. As we adopt, practice and live these 42 New Ethical KA’venants of MA’AT our need for external policing and possible exposure to police brutality can be dramatically reduced.
