Activating the Ancestral link through re-Kmtywization

Having less than 100% melanin as a result of your genetic configuration/ancestry (or even as a result of some of the negative effects of institutionalized slavery in Amerika and elsewhere) does not inherently put you at a disadvantage when it comes to connecting to the Kmtyw ancestral imprint. It is what you do with your portion that matters.

My Black Brother (Kmtyw Amerikan) and I visited a master/teacher a couple of years back who was teaching us as well as others some techniques with which to activate our being in a complete way. This teacher looked at me and said, "your ancestral line is open" but for my Brother he said, "you have a number of lines from which to choose but it appears that the Indian line is the one you prefer". For most others in the group, their lines were closed. Mine was/is open because I have been doing a lot of conscious work in this regard.

This last statement was in reference to my friend's ancestry consisting Indian, Native American and White aspects, but mostly Kmtyw. Because my friend had done a lot of yoga-based practices in the past, this was the line that was most active. I am of the Akan people of Ghana - my spiritual practices and spiritual interests are primarily of the Kmtyw indigenous/shamanic kind so my interest in Kmtyw traditional practices comes before all other spiritual practices.

THE ANCESTRAL SPIRITUAL LINK

What is this 'line'/'link' I am speaking of? It is the 'ancestral spiritual line' or link, an energetic/ethereal link that native people have with each other and with the planet. Technically, all of Earth's peoples can connect with their ancestral spiritual links but some cultures (mostly Western ones) have killed their link. They no longer access the knowledge of their ancestors and the natural/organic ways of living. What they have instead done is to create an 'artificial matrix', a borg-like system that is absorbing other native peoples and tearing them away from their natural connections to their groups, and to the planet.

From my understanding and experience, there are a number of links for humans who have a Spirit extension from their Higher Soul/Self:

1) There is the link from the Higher Soul/Self, that comes in through the crown chakra, down the "central channel", through the heart region and further down to the solar plexus region where it gets anchored into the ethereal body. Each Spiritually-oriented human has one of these links. At the moment of birth, the soul (astral body) and the Spirit (enveloped by the soul) enter the foetus and are anchored energetically to a bunch of fundamental cells (the first eight or so) that are the core cells of the human body formed after conception. These cells hold the entire genetic information. It is from these cells that the rest of the human physical body replicated its mass.
2) There is the energetic/ancestral link which results from the Higher Soul/Self link entering the foetus and giving it life. After first breath the new born child becomes an independent living entity in 3rd density, which maintains its life through breathing. Breathing feeds the energy/ethereal body, which is the intermediary between the physical body and the soul(astral body)/Spirit.
3) As the new born child grows, it develops a mind, which has its own sheath and its own characteristics. The mind can form a number of links, one of which is a link with the soul/astral sheath. There are also some 'higher links'.
4) The ethereal body can extend parts of itself out to form links with other animate as well as inanimate things, such as other people, animals, plants, objects etc.

When the Higher Soul/Self communicates with the incarnated human, the impulses travel down the first link, get stored in the body-mind and are translated through emotional and kinesthetic impulses as examples. These impulses then get further translated by the mind. Unfortunately the brain-mind and the mental body are not directly connected to the Higher Soul/Self, unless one learns how to do so. Thus the impulses are stored in the body-mind.

THE BODY AS A CRYSTALLINE COMPUTER

The body-mind is the true mind of the Spirit incarnated as a human, not the brain, with it's corresponding 'mind'. The brain is a 'switching station' for consciousness that has memory and other higher functions. Memory is stored in the body, in the bones, the blood, the muscles and cells and these are in turn imprinted on the energy/ethereal body. The emotional body (soul/astral body) serves as a link between the unconscious, crystalline storage of the body-mind/ethereal body and the 'brain-mind'. The brain only holds some information while it serves the role of switching between stations of reality. Most people are however anchored in the 5-sense perceptual reality.

In times past the ancestral link was naturally open for our (Kmtyw) ancestors because they practiced their rituals, and their way of life allowed for them to be connected to each other and to the planet in an intimate, organic way. Our ancestors were also not 'stuck in their minds' all the time (which is one of the serious afflictions of modern man) but were more in tune with their body-minds and with their environments. Because of the effects of the modern way of life, most Kmtyws are 'disconnected' from this ancestral holographic matrix/Race Mind. It is only those who are still true to their culture, who practice their rituals and observances, those who are initiated, that become connected/reconnected. This is a 'natural matrix'. The rest, other Kmtyws who are not connected, become increasingly absorbed by the 'artificial matrix' created by the dark forces that run this planet. This is a very deep statement that may require pondering over to realize its implications.

ACTIVATING YOUR ANCESTRAL SPIRITUAL LINK THROUGH RE-KmtywIZATION

If you are an individual with a number of genetic lines, this will be reflected in your ethereal energy imprint. Even if you've got less melanin in you than other Kmtyws, it is true that you can choose to connect on a deep level using the Kmtyw aspect of your total ethereal imprint. There are Kmtyws out there who are in a hurry to become something other than Kmtyw and who will not even think about using their melanin. You can make use of your portion. It is like having a computer with different operating systems, you can choose to boot windows or MacOS or Unix/Liunx...(you can choose Ubuntu! It's the Linux operating system with an Kmtyw name and it's the one I like to use!)

In the past people got initiated and through their initiation they activated the ancestral spiritual link. If you are lucky to have such an experience (or if it is part of your destiny) then this is one way to connect to the ancestral in an energetic way. The Race Mind is like a holographic matrix of memories and energies, different sounds/vibrations, symbols and such, when you connect to it. You can also connect to the Mind/energy of the planet, it is also another holographic matrix. Our physical bodies are like crystalline computers, in the past our ancestors used drums as 'organic computers' to program specific vibrations/tones into the 'body-mind-computer' as well as into the planetary-mind/environment. Whole tribal histories were played in the drum language and people danced! (I know that at least the Akan and the Ewe still do this so I imagine that many other Kmtyw groups must do so as well). They were not stuck in their brain-minds, they were rather in their body-minds, the true mind. This is also one reason why I think certain kinds of Kmtyw drum music can help connect with the body-mind, and through that to the ancestral-mind and even the planetary mind.

Now not everyone may want to go that deep or may need to. I am of the opinion that it is important to be aware of and to activate the link to the Higher Soul/Self as well. I believe that with the correct practice, one will engage both links, since the connection to the Higher Self can be reached while in the alpha brainwave state of consciousness. It can be described as 'deep expanded awareness'. Some drum music can get you here as well. In fact, there is a two-way switch in the alpha brain-wave region. One leads into the body-mind and the other leads to the Higher Self. The two states of mind are very close together, in the far past, they were one state of mind.

SOME POSSIBLE WAYS TO APPROACH RE-KmtywIZATION THROUGH SPOKEN LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND MUSIC

If you do not get initiated, you can still increase your interest in whichever Kmtyw culture(s) resonate with you. This will get you more in tune with the Kmtyw Holographic Matrix. You could learn an Kmtyw language, you could learn art, drumming and dancing or simply listening to moving Kmtyw music. There are several possibilities, I am just mentioning some of the ones I have been personally interested in. When I hear certain Kmtyw drums, I really feel moved. Listening to or dancing to music created by the sacred drums of the peoples of West Kmt definitely get my genetic memory banks open! (not to mention getting into a non-drug related altered state of mind)

Because I have west Kmtyw genetics, I looked at specific drummers from West Kmt and found those from Ghana to be the ones that move me most (of the ones I have found so far). The drummers of some of the 'master drummers' of the Ga people of Ghana (coastals) are super-serious, there is a lot of passion in their performance. For some, some of this music may be too 'Tribal'.

Four super-serious albums I have found are:
1) The Royal Drums of Ghana/Obonu Drummers/Royal Drums (Mustapha Tetty Addy)
2) Secret Rhythms (Mustapha Tetty Addy)
3) Medicine man (Aja Addy)
4) Afieye Okropong (Obo Addy)

I have been using these CDs in my own re-Kmtywization process for years now, at least the first two.

You can currently (February 8 2010) get the first CD (Royal Drums) on amazon for as little as $3 used, however the 2nd CD is more difficult to get, but it may not be necessary to have it either.

The description in the leaflet that comes with the Royal Drums of Ghana CD (nine tracks) says that it contains the ceremonial music of the Royal Drums all the 12 tribes and Royal Houses of Ghana. It had not been done before (1991) and to my knowledge it has not been done in the same way since. Specific permission had to be gained from these Royal Houses to make this one-time CD because the music had to be performed outside of a ritual context. For me, this was exactly what was needed for my work.

I recommend "Royal Drums" if you resonate with Kmtyw groups in the Ghanaian region (but the music is the same for some Kmtyws in parts of Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Togo and Benin). In fact, all of Mustapha Tetty Addy's music is good (that includes "Come and Dance", "Master Drummer", and "Come and Drum"). I met Mustapha once (2008), he lives in Labadi. Mustapha has a drumming school in Labadi. The day I met him, he was about to go for a funeral. We spoke briefly, he is planning to expand his school, I hope he is successful.

There are however many different master drummers from all over Kmt, you may resonate with others.

Secret rhythms has some super-serious tracks but this CD tends to be expensive and hard to find. There's one track on this CD (Oshika) that starts of with a 'drum call' that made me feel like I was mentally and spiritually time-travelling to the very ancient (even archaic) past. Then there is the track called 'secret rhythm' on this CD, it's really something.

Another CD you could check out (with Royal Drums) that also has some healing codes is called (Medicine Man, by Aja Addy), if you can get it at an affordable price. This one has special codes that will interact with your body. If you are sensitive to you body's energies, you may very well feel these codes.

The 4th CD to possibly check out is called 'Afieye Okropong', which is by Obo Addy. I love this CD. Okropong is the Eagle (Ako-bird; pon-great/eminent; 'Great Bird), from the Akan language. Obonu is a nickname for the wolf, or for pataku (wolf). This CD too is real serious, and can be obtained just for its pure pleasure because I think it is well done and the music evokes deep emotions, which can lead you 'further down' into your body-mind. There is a track on this CD called 'Obonu drums of Thunder'. It is an example of a track that encodes the histories of the Ga people, in music form. I prefer this CD to his earlier one, 'Okropong' (also by Obo Addy). In fact since Afieye Okropong is still fairly new and relatively affordable, I will recommend buying it while it is still cheap. The music is unbelievably good.

The Addy family is a 'medicine family' of master drummers who have carried the traditions of their ancestors. Mustapha Addy in particular, although he is Ga, went and studied with all the other Ghanaian groups and further afield, with various west Kmtyw groups. They are 'medicine drummers'. Aja Addy is actually a Tigare priest as well. Nowadays you can listen to parts of tracks online before buying CDs.

I'm not so well versed in the serious CDs of the Yoruba, the Igbo, the Mande peoples and others but there is a good online website (below) that is like a repository for music from Ghana and Nigeria, as well as for other west Kmtyw groups. Perhaps others who are better versed in the music of other west Kmtyw groups can comment on these areas, especially the Nigerian and Mande ones. Babatunde Olatunji has some amazing music from Nigeria. You probably want to look at different vendors if you choose to buy any of the CDs mentioned above.

Traditional West Kmtyw Drum CDs from Ghana and Nigeria from Kmtyw Rhythm Traders

The overall point I wanted to make in this post is that I believe those who stick with re-Kmtywization will be among the ones to inherit the ancestral knowledge and become custodians of it, because they will activate their connecting link and will be counted among the true Kmtyws, the natural ones who resist being absorbed by the Borg-like 'artificial matrix' that is being created by the controllers of the world we live in today.

Meda asa pa ara bro. kwame D for such vital information for all! The facts you've expounded hear certainly explain many questions i had after discovering that the human body is more than a food processor as modern medicine has taught us. Watching "the arrivals" Ive found that the human body is an energy transceiver and receiver and that we are greatly effected by the energy around us, natural and un-natural. This explains why we feel energized in the outdoors around nature and the natural energy of asa yaa (mother earth) and get that 'dead feeling' in the constraints of the 'concrete jungle'. From a movie entitled '21 grams', i remarkbly found out that the existence of the human soul has been scientifically proven. Data from international exeriments show that the human body looses anywhere from 20-34 grams of weight while transferring from life to death. Who is to say that these are not memories or a 'soul', simply becuase they are not extratable by modern technology and/or examinable by scientists.
 
Ive been vaguely researching The ancestral link you speak of, but have only found a few resources. I'm currently looking at books and videos by Credo Mutwa a Zulu Shaman from which ive heard quite a few facts about ancient shamans and how they used this ancestral link, thiers and others, to heal, protect, and even prophecise for people. A few of his conversations with britain David Icke can be seen on youtube, on one of them he says once someone has mastered the access of this link he can travel outside of his mind-body realm and go to other communal links and conversate with other shaman from other lands as well as beings from other realms.
 
As your breifly mention, he also talks about the U.S./yt communal spirit and how they have snatched many from the earth matrix and trap them in the man-made matrix to be easily controlled. He says that people today are insane becuase they are trapped in thier own mind-body realm where as people who have been enlightened have the ability to travel and "expand thier minds" as the saying goes, or reach "nirvana".
 
My question is can one free themselves and connect to this link through meditation, Kmtyw dance, prayer - communication with the ancestors, a combination??? Or would I need to seek a community willing to initiate others with a naming ceremony.
 
The section explaining the function of the brain and how memories are stored in the body as well as the mind also intrigued me as it seemed to make so much sense. From the spirit world documentaries by Chris Everard i learned how emotions, bad memories, and negative energies can effect someone medically in way that cant be remedied by conventional medicine. He explained it by contrasting shaman and doctors: they both ask you whats wrong but doctors only think biologically. For instance a women can have arthritis pain that keeps flarring up, the doctor might ask questions about her hand united snakesge and other medications and find that the pain might continue, while the shaman would ask "how is your daily life" or "what are you eating" and he might find that the cause is that she is worried about her son or is eating something unhealthy. Thats An awkward example but that knowledge hit home and made me self-discover, evaluate and fill-in/cure the cause of some of my ills.
 
Upon reading your description and united snakesge of traditional Kmtyw music i remembered how Kmtyw music was used for many things including, as you said communication. It is still being used in certain tribes and cultures to induce trance, initiate members and of course celebrate. I recently went to an Kmtyw dance festival featuring many dances and music from ginea and the malinke people and felt very connected to certain rythms and not so much from others. Oddly thier syncopation and percussion schemes reminded me VERY much of some Jazz from a local artist of the 70's Cannonball Adderly. I was thinking perhaps that would be proof that there are genetic links to rhythm patterns, which explains why us Kmtyws have natural rhythm, if found that even the ones who are raised by 'yt' do.
 
I am also a fan of ubuntu, i think it means 'helping humanity', The new version, build 11.1 is out, check it out.

Very interesting and enjoyable post. I will have to check some of the Ghanian drummers. Most of the Kmtyw drumming I've been exposed to has been from Nigeria which I notice does resonate with me. But then again most tribal drumming resonates with me. Where can I find more information about the Kmtyw Holographic Matrix?

Bro Liongod, me da ase, this is an area of research that I have been looking into for many years now. I would certainly like for there to be more discussions on and contributions to this topic.

Noireya, I have attached 3 files from the life story of Credo Mutwa, the first Mp3 (My Initiation Story) is super serious. Credo Mutwa's training shows how he connected with the 'Ancestral Holographic Matrix', where he was able to connect directly into the morphogenetic field, listening to the heartbeat of the sun and the voices of animals from ancient times, still recorded in the morphogenetic field.

So this is one way to connect, as depicted by this Southern Kmtyw tradition, but there are other ways to make it happen as well. For instance in Malidoma Some's book Of Water and the Spirit, he speaks of how, when connected to the tribal ancestral matrix (during his initiation) it was possible to listen to the voice of the fire. In the chapter My First Night at the Initiation Camp (chapter 14, pgs 191-201), Malidoma speaks of how the rhythms of song were used to get all the initiates into a deep rhythm. He said, "the song got inside of you, burning your heart like fire" (pg. 197). On the next page, after the Fire Spirit enters the flame, he says, "The violet fire looked like a ghost with flaming arms, one of which held a flaming stick. The legs seemed to be covered by a robe, all of flame, roaring horribly. The elders had disappeared as if they had removed themselves unseen from the center of the circle. Only this ghost remained, roaring with a deep voice. I suddenly knew what we were going to be doing in the next six sets of 5 days, which make up the Dagara week, but nobody seemed to have told me this. Rather, this knowledge seemed to have poured directly into my consciousness. I could not tell if it had been there before, or had come after the fire was turned into a ghost..."

In my view, what happened in the underlined text above, and what is related to several times during Malidoma's initiation, is a direct connection to the ancestral holographic matrix. Some have called it other names (like Jose Arguelles, who calls it 'surfing the Zuvuya', the cosmic pathway of memory). This ancestral connection goes beyond the planetary morphogenetic field, it is possible to access the entire galactic memory. This is what the Australian Aboriginal people have known to do for millenia, as related in the book Mutant Message Down Under (the 'mutant' is yt yurugu).

Listening to "My Initiation Story" is an absolute must if you're interested in hearing one angle of accessing the Kmtyw ancestral line. The recording was obtained from a CD that came with the book Vasamazulu Credo Mutwa: Zulu High Sanusi. It is 38.31 minutes long, and all the information is gold. To my knowledge this is the only file recording of a very detailed aspect of Credo's initiation, also showing methods used by the Kmtyw shaman initiation training of Southern Kmt, using hot and cold (fire and water, kan and li) methods and herbs to temper the body and the energy.

The other two files are also nice, one is a poem about Mutwa and the other is a blessing he gives.

As to how music, language & culture, dance, prayer and communion with the ancestors (as well as possibly having an Kmtyw partner if you can) can help open up this connection, I think it has to do with triggering the dormant memory of an ancient connection. Once connected, one has an ethereal connection to the matrix. It is like powering up a stargate (as in the stargate movies and tv shows), but on a personal template level. Like a wormhole connection. The beings in the movie 'Avatar' have a physical connection, our drumming, dancing, trance and song put us into the state of mind to have a physical-ethereal connection to the ancestral holographic matrix, and from there, to the planetary, solar, celestial and galactic template. Pretty blaktastic stuff, and it is part of our heritage.

Mutwa explains aptly how Kmtyw drumming and dancing can help Kmtyws can connect with the energy of the Earth. Dancing is important to remove the "evil sweat" (impurities) from the body. Much more is said about purification, in Mutwa's My Initiation Story.

WOW KWAME your knowledge is on another level amazing

Medase, Nuzulu, it has been many years in the making however the end result for this incarnation is still ahead.

Kwame D., yours is an initiation process, albeit informal and like yours I have encouraged many to get "in touch" with their own spirit. My path started that way-without a full-traditional initiation. It was the love of our culture. Also I, had the joy of being raised by southern grandparents: my grandmother had old ways. She came from a family of siblings still based in preserving old ways. I loved that about my family and miss that generation who helped me know, feel and experience whole life. Please, continue to encourage and inspire.

Meda ase for your kind words. I try to remain connected to Spirit and I've had some powerful experiences. Although I have not been initiated in a traditional Kmtyw way, the love I have for my people and their lore is strong. We live in eventful times and I am glad to be here at this time to observe as well as be a part of the process of change occurring in the world.

Thank you brother for sharing so much thought-provoking material. I have never thought of my ancestral link based upon how much work I do with other Kmtyws (this may be an over-simplification).

You are welcome brother. Abibitumikasa has an ethereal aspect that affects all Kmtyws connected to this website and who absorb the materials shared here and use it for their personal paths. Already we have connected a link between us, it is not only in cyber space.

The ancestral holographic matrix is real. I speak from experience. It is possible to connect to the deeper ancestral level without necessarily being in Kmt (or in a Black country) but it helps to be connected to other Kmtyws, especially those that are re-Kmtywizing! :peace:

This is a great post. Thank you for this sacred information.
