Mothers to Daughters.


"The African proficiency for genius comes from our women." 
- Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories




"Ancient Egyptian influence appears unconsciously in the art, and in the spiritual arts practiced by descendants of that legacy. It shows up to incorporate into the core, and isn't recognized for its potency." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

Quest back.


Katie Holmes all in a red coat. Spectacular !!!!



No. 9

“Ancient Egyptian women thought as deeply as other women today, but within the context of a civilization birthing sciences, mathematical concepts, technologies; as yet unraveled, and art, language, and religious concepts still vibrant and activated. And being creators of a spiritual knowledge still unfolding for us centuries and centuries later how did they feel in the world? How did the world move, and taste like? How did they love and divine?..." © Gregory E. Woods, (Dawn Wolf) Keeper of Stories 11.18.12

Orgasm, ANK, and Life



 

 When it comes to Tantra and the concept of using sexual energy and love-making as a path to God or the Divine, there has long been conflicting opinions as to the role of orgasms in achieving these higher states of consciousness. Many insist that the man can only attain union with the Divine if he abstains from orgasms and retains his seed. Then there are those who believe that even orgasm in women leads to changes in bio-chemistry that can cause disconnection later on. Apparently the Egyptians believed otherwise, see article below. I think that they were right in many ways; in my experience it does not matter as much whether to orgasm or not, but what we do with the energy that gets awakened before, during and after orgasm, whether we allow it to dissipate leaving us empty or whether we know how to guide it in ways that will feed our spirit. This is true not just for orgasm but for any state of sexual arousal. That is why I always suggest that people focus on the making of love rather than having sex. If love is the focus and intent then you don’t need any special technique and you really don’t need to know about chakras or anything esoteric. Let the beauty and pleasure of sexual energy ignite and open your love channel, that of personal love for your partner, but also that of Divine Love and you will be on the right path.

The Ankh and the Orgasm~ (taken from Drunvalo writings)

It was believed in ancient Egypt that the orgasm was the key to eternal life, and that it was intimately connected with the chakra system. A chakra is an energy vortex connected to the entire human energy field, and the Universal Heart Chakra is the fifth of thirteen chakras. (There is also a system of eight chakras; in that system, the heart chakra is number four.) The Egyptian system held that the orgasm was intimately connected to this fifth, or Universal Heart Chakra.

First, we will explain the connection to eternal life.

Most people in the world are ignorant about what happens to their sexual energy after they have an orgasm. Usually, the energy moves up the spine and out the top of the head directly into the eighth or thirteenth chakra (same chakra, different system). In a few rare cases, the sexual energy is released down the spine into the hidden centre below the feet, the point opposite the one above the head. In either case, the sexual energy — the concentrated life-force energy called prana in Hinduism — is dissipated and lost. It is similar to discharging a battery into a ground wire. It is no longer in the battery and so it is gone forever. This is what all the world’s Tantric systems that I am aware of believe, that orgasm brings one a little closer to death because a person loses his or her life-force energy in the orgasm and is made weaker. But the Egyptians found long ago that it does not have to be this way.

It is for this reason that the Hindu and Tibetan Tantra systems ask the male to avoid ejaculating. Instead, they speak of these tiny invisible tubes where, when a student learns to control the orgasm and the flow of their sexual energy, the sperm migrates up to the higher centres.

Both of these systems, and also the Chinese Taoist system, are all primarily concerned with the sexual energy flow, sometimes referred to as “sexual currents.” They are primarily concerned with what happens as the sexual energy is moved before the orgasm, but they all have entirely different views of this energy compared to the Egyptians.

The Egyptians believed that orgasm is healthy and necessary, including the release of sperm in males, but that the sexual energy currents must be controlled in a deeply esoteric procedure that is unlike any other system. They believed that if this energy is controlled, the human orgasm becomes a source of infinite pranic energy that is not lost. They believe that the entire Mer-Ka-Ba or lightbody (the field of energy surrounding and interpenetrating the body) benefits from this sexual release. They even believe that under the right conditions the orgasm will directly lead to eternal life, and that the ankh is the key.

Beginning of LIFE!




Nut & Geb



In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. In Khametic science, Nut' is the heaven-Spiritual Feminine Energy. Geb is Earth- physical masculine Energy. Feminine "Nut" energy rules the heart, throat for communication, mind and crown higher energies. Geb rules the solar plexus, stomach, sacral, sexual, bodily energies. Both men and women possess masculine and feminine energies. This image represents the union of the two within us. I honor both. - anon

the MASKS




the Afrikan Mask as Jomel Neter points out, "behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we're capable of ..."


 
"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. It time to put in work stop marching. Only through experience of times and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart." ~ Jomel Neter April 28, 2015  




noose tie


Nut and Geb are the children of Shu and Tefnut. The sky is the body of Nut, the Sky Goddess, arching from horizon to horizon. The stars are part of her and the sun passes through her every day. Geb is the Earth God, lying beneath her. During the day, Nut and Geb are separated, but each evening Nut comes down to meet Geb and this causes darkness. If storms came during the day, it was believed that Nut had come closer to the earth. ~anon

The Shadow of Who You Were




a specter  from Egypt's past viewing the hieroglyphs of his culturefrom the gallery of  Sole Satya
September 18, 2012

"... and they come back as spectators, and to us as specters, from time to time to see themselves. What has transpired in their absence is of no importance to them. It is the life they lived and what they left behind that concerns them. It is the only thing they have control over save the memories they could never share. Their memories we cannot mingle with intimately because the nature of memories are the substance of wind and sand. They are the mist of early sunsets, and like the chill of the mornings waiting for the sun to burn the chill away is our promise of connecting with the ancient past whenever they subject themselves to the task of reappearing." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.5.13

Our Shadows

Let's Talk Universal Spirituality!



"Sadly, you'll have be a member of a Kemetic brotherhood to get the info like i just gave it. But you can study Egyptology  as well as the sciences of those systems & hormones. Once you compare the Religion with the Science you will see the connection." - Theloneus Jones


"Some of the new borns don't have to be initiated into this wisdom; it is remarkable, and some older people won't get initiated into this because the gifts they were born with connects them to the source. Others through crystals have been getting the messages in a multitude of waves. When some white people have been traveling in mixed company and the deep teachings from ancient Egypt come to them as ready as breath returns to wind it indicates the end of something and the beginning of something else we need." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10.17.13

Yeah. Perfection.

"Amongst the many definitions of perfection is the notion of flaws lurking to challenge the dream of someone's presence, and the illusion of one's self to another self. It is an interesting phenomenon seeing perfection. What it comes down to is always revelatory to the observer, if the observer is a thoughtful man or woman." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.28.13

Sol-Om-On

a teaching shared by Kijhana Roby
Jan. 4, 2013

KING SOLOMON:



The dying Sun travelling from East to South to West, became 'Sol-Om-On'.

Sol, the name of the young Sun-God, East the place, and Rising UP the Action, or the Sun rising in the early morning! 

Om
, the name of the grown manly Sun-God, South the place, and the Meridian, the still balance, or the Sun at High-Noon!!

On, the name of the Old dying Sun-God, West the place, and Setting Down, the action, or the Sun Setting in the late Evening!!!

Thus we have 3 names: Sol-Om-On. 3 Movable Functions:
Rising (up), Balancing (still), Setting (down) and three places: East-South-West.

The life of Solomon is the story of
Pharoah Amenhotep III...But the science behind Solomon is Sun Worship....His Throne was the "Sky"...When Jesus was supposed to inherit the throne of Solomon, It Was To Take His Place In The Sky...& his principle, which mimicks "Horus" was supposed to rule over all lands.

Once again, King Solomon never existed....

THOTH 

Thothby JaniceDuke


'Hail Thoth, architect of truth, give me words of power that when I speak the life of a man I may give his story meaning. I stand before the masters who know the histories of the dead, who decide which tales to hear again, who judge the books of lives as either full or empty, who are themselves authors of truth. And they are Isis and Osiris, the divine intelligences. And when the story is written and the end is good and the soul of a man is perfected, with a shout they lift him into heaven. I too, am a man longing for perfection. I wait to shine forth in Manu, the place of the setting sun.

Hail Thoth, architect of truth, give me words of power that I may tell the truth of my own becoming. I stand before the masters who witness the judgment of souls, who sniff out the misdeeds, the imperfections, the lies and half-truths we tell ourselves in the dark. And they are Thoth and his two companions, Anubis and Asten, who hold the books of truths and lies and make comparisons. It is the night of blotting out souls, of staying transformation, of withholding the power of a man to make mischief. Speak. I am a man longing for candor. I wait to come forth by day in Abydos, city of the dead.'

STUDY BEFORE ACCEPTANCE


Magic Seal Tree of Demons Necronomiconstileby Mikewildt




I don't understand why or how this symbol is a Tree of Demons. It looks exactly like the Tree of Life the Hebrews employed for thousands of years. Second, do you know how to use this? There is a third question, but it has to do with something subtle I sense in the colors the lines and the two figures carrying the Anks. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

Enlarged the symbols in the circles of each of the three pillars become clear. They are menacing, or they are firm and definite in their purposes. They don't feel good or  perhaps I am off center, and I am responding to old stimuli from the perspectives of superstitious jargon I heard growing up. I need to study this.

ISIS


Isis by Janice Duke on deviantART. 


I walk in harmony, heaven in one hand, earth in the other. I am the knot where two worlds meet. Red magic courses through me like the blood of Isis, magic of magic, spirit of spirit. I am proof of the power of gods. I am water and dust walking. -- The Knot of Isis, Egyptian Book of the Dead

GODDESS ancient of DAYS

Egyptian Goddess of Love
Het-Hert

The study, acceptance, and understanding of the Goddess have not necessarily evolved. It has changed. In diminished capacity she, the Goddess, has been trivialized to imply sex, and sexual opportunity. Western Christianity has denied her existence so long women struggle with the notion of sexuality, power, divinity, beauty and spiritual power as one whole entity, or force of Nature. It has led to enormous upheaval. Daughters ill-equipped for the enormous energies of Womanhood make horrible mistakes and decisions. Without the advantages of ceremonies and rituals that bound and connect them to the vital energies of Water, their Wombs, and the Earth, our Mother this triangular relationship learns to live the way Kabbalah has learned to live amongst the mundane throughout the ages. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.22.13

DEEP POWERS FROM FORM


Sacred form of a Black Woman - Sophisticated Seduction


A STORY OF OUR PAST

"The Dwat was conceived as being on the other side of the stars that we see when we look up at the night sky. The stars were imagined as being on the flesh of the Goddess Nut, and the Dwat was in some sense behind or within the world of which the stars demarcated the outermost boundary. It was not just the Sun God, however, that entered the Dwat at the end of the day. All creatures were believed to return to the Dwat at the end of their lives, pass into its dark interior, and were born from it again, just as the Sun God was born from the Dwat each morning. There was thus a very important mystical threshold between the outwardly visible cosmos, the stars on Nut’s body and what exists invisibly in her interior. It is a threshold we all come to when we die, when everything becomes concentrated in a single point, (THE BLACK WOMB) and then disappears from view."

"The Sun God's night-journey through Nut’s body, as he travels from death to rebirth. Knowledge of this interior world of the Dwat was considered by the Kemites to be the most important, most profound knowledge, f o r p e o p l e living on earth to acquire. The Dwat was not only the realm of the dead, but also the realm of the Gods and spirits and, furthermore, the realm from which all living things emerge. All life issues from the Dwat. To know this mysterious interior world was to become truly wise, because then one knew both sides of existence—the invisible along with the visible."

NFR, as seen, interpreted centuries later...


NEFER by SleinadFlar 

An Egyptian princess. 'Nefer' (or more precisely nfr, as Egyptian hieroglyphs didn't show vowels), as found in Nefertiti and Nefertiti, being the Ancient Egyptian word for 'beautiful'.

Two versions are shown here: right the original version from 2008 and left a new version just finished. Besides the obvious flipping of the canvas (I figured it to be more expressive that way), changes include the substitution of lines with shades, addition of some details and some general color and shade balance thingies. I still think there's room for improvement, but I'm gonna leave it as it is for now. - SleinadFlar 




Nina Minami vulnerable & Japanese fine!!!! 


The question that looms large on the horizon isn't obvious to the dull, and those committed to the slow evolution of non-sight in a dynamic and visual world. Centuries after Nefer, or Nefertiti's reign artists today feel free and in their rights to depict her not as an Egyptian woman of her time, but as a woman void of what made her and her people formidable to Europeans. Black Americans not owning their images have no say in the interpretations of their histories in any medium. It is only a small percentage of Blacks, not enough, who do own their images, and thus their minds follow the path of their imagery into the body of their life-work in connection with and to their ancestors. This is natural law, and a law Black Americans have divorced themselves from. Still in the embryonic stage of spiritual and emotional development, and purposefully inattentive to intellectual development the physical masses of black humanity in the US prefers the limited capacity of the child. It is a choice to be infantile. It is a choice to limit perspective and have small influence nationally outside of issues of discrimination, and have no respect globally. The progress from slavery to maturity is slow, and made slower in Black White People's incurable need to suckle the tit of white American's approval. 

I've said it before, and I am saying it again. "Niggers ain't free!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2.14.14

Reclaim our story



Not even one of the most beautiful women of the 20th century, Elizabeth Taylor, could capture to represent the deep allure and the powerful beauty of Egyptian women before the mixing of the white tribes near the end of the last of Egypt's 3,000 year reign. - Gregory E.
