Re: Be-ing: From Afrikan Cosmology of the Ba
"[W]hen the core of a body is oppressed, destroyed, polluted, corrupted, or raped, be it biological, societal, institutional or national, the body that envelopes it is itself dead. The path that leads towards it...is also wiped out. People become helpless. They lose their self-healing power and their order-giver-stimulus. In this situation the body cannot be healed unless the 'primitive' state of the core is restored. To do so is a process of cleansing its core, i.e., 'depolluting' it....a process of digging out the junk that prevents access to the core of the inner power."
