Careful Remarks about the First Blog Post of the Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations

First, it must be said that it is exceedingly pleasant to see that work of Dr. Jacob H. Carruthers is memorialized and celebrated. It is comforting to know that descendants of Africa in this North American continent are still seriously gathering for symbols sacred, ancient and eastern.

It is written that we must be as a little child in order to see understanding. That which was set in place by our ancestors should come into us through the open, receptive ways of innocent children. So a big thing comes to me from my ancestors of the Old Kingdom. These people were formal and extremely meticulous. Many, many, many things modern people would dismiss as trivial are central and vital to the wise ones long before me.

So my childish eye looked into the mouth of my ancestors and I was unable to locate this word in the Old Kingdom Language: “spirit”—this is a lazy English word that covers too much of the meticulous details set in place by our ancestors. This is a word for soldiers and bureaucrats who by design have no need for living precision when their way is meant for so much death.

Also:

English, like probably all imperialized languages, is an egotistical, materialistic language by design. This means that speaking it (and thinking it) without limit makes people (regardless of skin color) egotistical and materialistic. This is a basic, activist reason why English should held in check. It just so happens that African-centered people have ancestral tools (starting with a small axe from The Old Kingdom) to cut this shit out. As an exercise, count how many times I will use the word “I” in this entry (remember “I” = “ego”).
It is an error to attempt use Latin glyphs to write “hieroglyphs”—since I am not running a large organization of people held captive in the English language I enjoy the luxury of pointing this out.
Out of respect for the excellent work of Dr. Carruthers we see the term “good speech”—but there is no Old Kingdom word that directly transliterates into “good” or “bad”—these binary operations are of Indo-European origin and these dance moves come from The Knowledge of Good and Evil. We may see this tree in the garden but we must not eat of it. Warfare, by the way, is impossible without The Knowledge of Good and Evil.
It is an error to assume that English vowel sounds are of “universal humanity.” Just ask our pal that speaks (imperial) Mandarin to make her vowel sounds. So we are being lazy when we make sounds like “medew,” “kemit” or “hotep”—this helps draw us back into English instead of liberating us from it. Again, I am not running a large organization of people held captive in the English language so I enjoy the luxury of pointing this out.
There are no D or L sounds in The Language of the Old Kingdom.
Teaching us to say “Sebayet” instead of the word you show in this image (that is made by the symbols appearing to the left of the owl) again draws us away from the core task of transformation.
A person of strong African features actually demanding that someone should “spell” an ancient African word using something called an “alphabet” is a perfect, clear expression of mental bondage. It is healthier to think of the Roman “alphabet” as the imperial messaging and branding tool it was designed to be.The instruction prepared for me by Queen Mother N’ast (who happens to be the grandmother of my daughter—and, to be Frank, she does not even really like me) tells me not to openly write or speak in detail about matters like this in public. Surely I have violated this rule just to avoid flying all the way from Los Angeles to Chicago to most likely (based on past experience) stand around and be completely ignored for a few days at yet another African conference. “Hotep, brother!” Most importantly, these ideas will be ignored—by the very people with the active neuromelanin in need of them.

We must remember that many of our wise and enslaved ancestors right here in the Americas spoke in broken English deliberately to protect their mental health—so I know very well when I approach a “born again” African—especially one that has been in “the movement” long before I was even born—I am messing around with personal issues that most people passionately defend—often to the death. These are matters of foundational consciousness that can be terrifying to one so ironically devoted to western imperial thought.

What many of us might have learned from Alex Haley is that holding on to just one, solitary, true, pure African word is better than holding on to thousands of things rendered in Roman. But I am not running a large organization of people held captive in the English language so I enjoy the luxury of pointing this out.

Also: this journal entry serves as an explanation to a happy few of my readers who may wonder why Bryan Wilhite is not in this African group or some other club of color. In order to organize my time and conserve my energy, I walk around alone in the wilderness with rent clothing eating locusts. This terrible lonely way is better than rolling boulders like Sisyphus while Soul Train music plays in the background.

Also, also: understand quickly that my person makes the effort to actually see the so-called “new” person introduced to me. There are very important reasons why our ancestors from the Old Kingdom made those symbols with the human eye (and the throne). Even western, white-lab-coat science knows just how much of the human brain is devoted to vision. But just ask any person that teaches music or especially dance—after they see so many thousands of people coming at them they start to know with just a quick glimpse who can really get down and who really can’t.

When it comes to Black-on-Black condemnation, I look forward to such condemnation being just plain wrong. So try this experiment: contact the author of “Wisdom Instructions for Life” and see what happens when she reads this. Experience informs me that likely nothing will happen after she reads this. Most people in these leadership positions make a simple (binary) calculation based on the question, “Is this in agreement with me or not.” When the answer is not “yes” then it is most expedient to ignore and step.

This exercise was done for the bright young person—who can be as a little child much easier than us older ones. J’ah is I light and I salvation…
