"Pan-Kmtywism or Perish....." Nana John Henrik Clarke
"Intellectuals ought to study the past not for the pleasure they find in so doing, but to derive lessons from it"

I am always thinking just how much pre-existing knowledge, methods, and conclusions had to be in place for an Imhotep to be the first known multi-genius that we understand him to be.  In his time while alive what level of education had to be in place to produce such a genius.  

Second thought - as you were describing the Congo chart and then the Dr. Finch lecture where he mentions As above so below.  I was thinking back to when you mentioned the significance of counter-clock wise in the Congo chart, the constellations, and the processions during drumming ceremonies.

Question- I hear the term "heaven" used often and was curious if this is a issue in using the English language to describe an Kmtyw thought or concept.  I am thinking when I hear heaven it's a introduced concept that Christianity brought in.  It presupposes that if there is a "heaven" there is a "hell" and all the baggage that you would have to go through just to get to those understandings (being saved, original sin, angels at the gate to get in, a god sitting on a throne in the sky, a devil and fire waiting for you if you do not accept jesus as your saviour, etc etc). Am I off in my thinking?
