What is Melanin??

[Kentake]

Hotep fam!,
I have heard so much about MELANIN but truly....i have very little idea about what it really is?! Can any 1 tell me more about MELANIN? other than the fact that it is what makes us varying degrees of brown to black? I would appreciate any info/resources/links/feedback that any of you can provide me with concerning this topic, i would like to become more well-informed about MELANIN so that i will atleast know what it really is and its' various functions.Funny enough...with all the Afree-kan-centered literature out there i have not ever seen any books on MELANIN specifically. As usual, i am looking 4ward to your responses!!-after all that is what i am here for TO LEARN, STUDY AND RE-STRUCTURE MY AFREE-KAN SPIRITUAL INNER BEING....

Melanin is the best part of being hueman
Melanin in the human body takes on an amorpheus semiconductive property; we are more capable of absorbing different types of energy and dissipating it as heat. Also, it leads to superior photoprotection, vision, and a reduced risk of catharacts in the eyes lens. Its sythesized from tyrosine (found predominately in cheese), and its also well documented that melanin deficiency has been stated in many medical studies as being directly tied to various genetic abnormalities and disease states. Put simply... dark brown is good. Getting more and more rare too. Maybe 700 million worldwide with "pure" subsaharan genes, and those represent the number one population in the world affected by HIV
Anyways...

Just make sure you get your vitamin D if you live in northern latitudes.

Greetings Sistah,

Im no expert, but have read a few things about melanin. If you where never interested in CHEM (KHEM) istry before you will be after reading more about this. I recommend this small book that does not exclusively deal with melanin but I believe it breaks it down very scientifically for US
The Ankh is the name of the book subtitle is the Afrikan Origin of Electromagnetism By Nur Ankh Amen. This 70 page book was very enlightning literally. It describes melanin as tiny primative eyes, can you imagine that!!!!! It goes on to say...... whose function is to absorb and decode electromagnetic waves. It also talks about why our ancestors mummified themsleves, to protect that precious melanin, which increases in conductivity with age. Another good resource is a book called
Melanin The Chemical Key to Black Greatness by Carol Barnes. as many of our scholars have discovered the drugs such as crack and lifeless foods are specifically targeted to us, to help destroy the chemical process of our melanin, so we have a whole lotta reasons why we should clean up our bodies to get in tune with the Creator given gift of
melanin. Im excited for you as we discover another facet to being Black and Beautiful. Lets Build. Peace.

Look for books etc. by Wade Nobles, he's a psychology PhD from Stanford and he pioneered the melanin theory you speak of. It sounds quite logical actually, and I'm a more skeptical, "scientific method" based person. It makes sense that because of the conductive properties of melanin, and the fact that we have more melanin, we could perhaps have increased sensory perception. I haven't read much on that personally... maybe you can read up on it and share?

[ShutEmDown]

Greetings Revelation and Sistah Kentake,

the Ankh book really goes into that explaining as I read here that our melanin acts as a neural-network of computers basically recording and encoding all life experiences, which means we have more proclivity to visions and ESP. Also as a semiconductor melanin makes us more sensititve to the electromagnetic world of ehteric beings, astral projections and spiritual entities. That is taken directly from the book, but being the scientist that we are I can testify, when you clean up your body and tune in that is true, sometimes even when your not trying.


Just imagine if we where taught science from the true point of view. something as concrete and objective as math and KHEMistry have been jacked by those who are missing melanin. I was not as interested in the hard sciences until long after my "formative years" in school, then when i learned it was all a study about us i've been hooked since then.

Hotep fam!,
Asante sana Sadiku, ShutEmDown(sis, luv ur avatar!....we got to hook up and talk some REVOLUTION....i am feelin u gurl!!) and Revelation i will surely use your insight on my journey to ancestral healing and wisdom, yunno sis i have that book! and it is so surprising that i have never read it...YET!! i am so stuffed up to the neck w/ books that i do not know where to start, i have bought so many but cannot find the time to enjoy them, any-how my next 1 is YURUGU/Marimba Ani which i have also had for a while!! i know it is good to have them just the same, ofcourse when the time arises they will all be read and digested in completion.Meda wo ase again fam! i really appreciate ur input and Sadiku i will be checking out those threads brotha!


This is exactly the info. i was searching for the spiritual/scientific aspects of melanin and its' relation to our existence as the first Afree-kan civilizers of the world! i know that fo sho we are not effectively in touch w/ our melain and its' super-scientific abilities if we were we would not continue to be the victims of Caucasian supremacy, we would find no difficulty in rising up to our original position as the defenders of Afree-ka & the world as we once were, i think this is key.....we must re-learn and re-structure our melanin capabilities in order for us to truly be in touch w/ our ancestral inheritance and therefore rise again to be the examples of righteousness and divinity on this planet.I believe that knowing how MELANIN works and knowing its' complete functions is the key to our liberation!! STAY BLACKXCELLENT Y'ALL!!!!

if all our 5 physical sense are based off TOUCH (vibes)

1-light maken contact with eye
2-physical touch
3-small particles goin into noses senses
4-sounds waves viben thru tha air
5-food analyzed by the tongues sensors

all vibrations can go extreemly high or slow, fast or slow. slowest being matter, physical things concrete objects with form. the higher/faster vibrations being energy of ALL TYPES....why wouldnt things like ESP be possible. our brains haven 2 sides like the positive n negative, give and recieven signals. couldnt thoughts jus be high frequencys sent thru tha air? they say our brain functions with mad electrons being fired off and melanin ,(which reminds me of a blackhole in space) soaken in our brain i think would help ya kno.

ahh yeh...and why its said that one of the chemicals in melanin is very close or the same as COPPER (as in wiring,conductivity 4 electricity) ?!?

Also as a semiconductor melanin makes us more sensititve to the electromagnetic world of ehteric beings, astral projections and spiritual entities.




yeah no doubt. and this is possible because the pineal gland(3rd eye) in people of color is saturated with melanin and once activated it swells up like a cobra(now think about the people of KMT and cobras). when it is activated you are capable of innervision and communicating with the spirit realm. europeans pineal gland is inactive because of massive calcium deposits. this the main reason why there are far less spiritual white people and a lot of spiritual aboriginals.
