RICHARD KING on BLACKNESS

[Baba Ahmed]

"King argues that blackness or carbon is life and is therefore divine. He says that ancient Africans understood this, and called themselves by various names meaning 'black,' such as 'Kemites' (people of the black earth), from which the Greeks developed the word 'chemistry' (and the Arabs 'alchemy'). Recognizing the special significance of their blackness,which far transcended the color of the skin, according to King, these ancient scientists studied the workings of their own minds, which they understoood as being identified with their entire bodies. (So much for the mind/body split so basic to European thought.).... According to King, the ancient Africans studied until they came to understand the relationsip of 'blackness' to spirituality and inner vision; the higher levels of understanding on which synthesis occurs. For them Blackness' represented the divine. In his series of works entitled, The Black Dot, King supports this contention with an impressive array of references to ancient Kemetic texts and symbolic images and to a host of other theorists and historians.(105) What did these early, advanced scientists discover?"

'The original titans found that all life came from a black seed, all life was rooted in blackness, all things possessed a memory of their collective ancestors. Blackness, the universal solvent of all was seen as the one reality from which spun the threads of the loom of life. All colors, all vibratory energies, were but a shade of black; blackwas the color of the night sky, primeval ocean of outer space, birthplace and womb of the planets, stars and galaxies of the universe; black holes were found at the center of our own galaxy and countless other galaxies; black as the color of carbon, the key atom found in al living matter of our world; carbon atoms linked together to form black melanin, the first chemical that could capture light and reproduce itself, the chemical key to life; and the brain itself was found to be centered around black neuromelanin.

"Inner vision, intuition, creative genius, and spiritual illumination were all found to be dependent upon pineal gland blood bourne chemical messengers that controlled skin color and opened the hidden door to the darkness of the collective unconscious mind, allowing the ancient priest-scientist to visualize knowledge from the timeless collective unconscious memory banks of the mind. Indeed, the Black Dot was found to be the hidden doorway to universal knowledge of the past, and future.'(106)

Blessed Love to my Elder King Baba Ahmed,

I am Joanie, a Recovering Afrikan amerikkkan and Representative from the Voices in the Margins.

Thank you for sharing. Thank you for "seeing", "hearing" and "speaking" of the evil atrocities inflicted on the "Black" peoples of the world. $) :cheers:

This post supports the biblical reference (Genesis 1:2-4) which states "...darkness covered the ocean, and God's Spirit was moving over the water. Then God said , "Let there be light, and there was light. God saw that the light was good, so he divided the light from the darkness", right?

Bottom line....seeds of life are "black" in color, life springs forth from "dark" places...i.e the earth, womb...

Thanks for allowing me to Share

[Baba Ahmed]

Peace Joanie

Maybe u're also a voice from the Maroons (psssst: 'tween u & me - I ain't hardly a King; just a lil ole relay man for what comes thru and to me... then its goooooooone... ya kno?) and not just in the margins, u b in a mix of folk who wanna be the best Afrikans of this time and at this place.

'preciate ya

psssst: 'tween u & me - I ain't hardly a King; just a lil ole relay man for what comes thru and to me... then its goooooooone... ya kno?) =
BE WHAT U MAY i see u as "A GIANT AMONGST MEN

and

THAT IS NO INSIGNIFICANT ANYTHING

after reviewing a recent post (can't member which one right now) i think...ummmm maybe i am a Maroon in Spirit :cheers:

and not just in the margins, u b in a mix of folk who wanna be the best Afrikans of this time and at this place. = Thank You......just RERESENTING the Voices in the Margins.......

nice post.

peace.

this right here is....great..,


I'd like to point a couple of things within the above excerpt.


1st: ''...form black melanin, the first chemical that could capture light and reproduce itself.."

..."a" CHEMICAL would be more appropriate regarding one that could capture light and reproduce itself, and definitely 1 of the primordial ingredients for life. Do to the fact it can bond gases, liquids solvents, etc.. obviously organic and even INorganic substances (it also CAPABLE of being a catalyst for many times of chemical reactions, even to the point where it can manipulate cell growth, size, shape, etc in mammals). But it has to be ACKNOWLEDGED that it IS POSSIBLE that evolution itself began on some sort of melanin/ melanous substance. Alot of people like to believe in that old school like earthly spawn pool full of whatever crud that started evolution. MELANIN is found practically everywhere...from meteorites that hit earth (scary thought), to our own brains.

2nd: "and the brain itself was found to be centered around black neuromelanin."


...to be more specific, there are 12 layers of melanin...

--
anyways..., this information provided..definitely on point!!!! From the facts about carbon to the al-KHEM-y...

ill post...this is 1 of the things I love about science, and is why I'm headed in that direction..

peace
