"One must see shallowness as a strategy for the enemy to pull one to greater depths. The more shallow one's thinking is, the more shallow one's understanding of the war is. The greater the depths one is pulled into, the less likely the person can pull himself out or be pulled out"

-Nana Asuo Gyebi, National Shrine of Kmtyws in Amerika (NSAA), Sankofa: Pan Kmtyw Journal of Nationbuilding and ReKmtywization, Spring 2006/104
"Since most of our conscious modes of conceptualizing, acting and moving about are conditioned in part by our language, to use the language of another culture is to use that culture's ideas; and to use another culture's ideas in place of one's own is to relegate the latter to a position of de facto inferiority."

Pele O Ifajakuta

This is good info for several reasons. For obvious reasons it is always good to hear from our Kmtyw deities. However, the other reason makes me think about the LIES people tell on the Kmtyw tradition. I recently had a "babalawo" tell me that during his Ifa initiation (Cuba) they told him that the reason he likes to or needs to travel is because he has a FOREIGN (NON Kmtyw) SPIRIT walking with him! What the....?!

But the deities NEVER say stuff like that. It is only the plantation minded Kmtyw that will say something like that in the name of the deities. The deities whether they be Abosom, Vodu, Orisa, kwk constantly tell us things that Nana Asuo Gyebi said in this post that you made. I am glad you posted this because it has encouraged me to post what the deities say to me about this anti-Kmtyw situation we find ourselves in.
