Htp Sis Georgia
First, I have to say Anfaani asokale ("beneficial decesent of your child to Earth from the Creator" This is a greeting the Yoruba give to a mother-to-be ) to you for the the coming of another ancestor to this realm. It is truly a blessing and a special work we are engaged in as Iya's to birth nations and nurture/educate and heal our people.

Also, I appreciate you sharing your experiences with the powerful minerals and their message from the ancestors to you. From what I gathered you are saying that you are receiving messages from the ancestors telling you to release anger towards yt for enslaving us? And you want to know if it is necessary to stop being angry in order to fullfill your life's purpose on the planet? (If I got this part of what youre saying right please let me know)

If I have what you are saying correct then I will respond with a conversation that comes to mind. Mama Marimba Ani told me once, anger is a tool that you can use as a catalyst for your own work of Afrikan liberation. If you are using it as a motivating force (rather than debilitating)- as a means of producing work for our liberation rather than an excuse to not act at all. Ultimately, books like Yurugu came out of that anger you are speaking of. In conjunction, I would add of course, that love for our people also pushes us to do great work.

For clarity, what does "let go" involve? Does that encompass forgiveness, or forgetting what is/has been done by our oppressors? If so, that is not something to let go of, as we are being killed off in multiple ways all over the planet by our oppressors. We are dying right now by the millions, as I type this message to you. Ultimately, we collectively are not being able to fullfill our life's purpose as Afrikans or achieve Sankofa because we have died trying to "let go" and embrace our oppressor, rather than deal with them and seek justice.

I hope my response gives you some overstanding, despite my lack of clarity on your question. I look forward to your responses so we can continue to build on this issue. I think the question is a good one.

Much appreciation, sis, for your words, work, and love!

Kala
