Every major author of philosophy, metaphysics and spirituality is represented.

by O. J. Harp III Across Time: Mystery of the Great Sphinx – an adventure with beginnings in ancient Africa – is a sci-fi story filled with mysticism, magic, future technology, and the history and lore of ancient Egypt (Kemet), with its spells, Pharaohs and pyramids. It overflows with humor and the mischievous antics of school-aged kids. The authentic atmosphere and historical detail bridge the ages, from a past filled with prehistoric animals to a future of clones, holographic images, whimsical-African dwarfs, and rapping-mechanical ‘bots. The novel is a metaphor for self-discovery and a mesmerizing tale that may assist young readers make the often-difficult transition from youths to responsible adults.

Bringing The Light Into A New Day

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 18:10:22 +0000

by Dr. Lathardus Goggins II This book provides a thorough discussion on the principles and components of African centered rites of passage (rites). It is a guide to understanding "family-based community-linked" African centered rites of passage. The title, "Bringing the light into a new day," is a metaphor that refers to all the familiar quotes and statements about light and the coming of the dawn, where light is a metaphor for opportunity, hope and wisdom. We must be active participants in the creation and management of this "light," if we are to benefit from it. To bring the light is to invoke sankofa: to go back and fetch what has worked. Here the implication is to reflect, and study the past, future, and present in order to draw on and create those solutions one needs. Please be careful to note, sankofa is not just taking what is old, but an examination of the future and past. Then applying only those things from the past in the present that will help create the desired future. Our light is our heritage! If we do not bring this light into the new day, then we doom ourselves: at worst, to die during "the night" or at best, to be cast in the faint light of someone else's interpretations, and unable to see our own potential. Let us remember the words of Marcus Garvey: Chance has never yet satisfied the hope of a suffering people. Action, self-reliance, the vision of self and the future have been the only means by which the oppressed have seen and realized the light of their own freedom. African Americans families and communities must bring the light (opportunity, hope and wisdom) into the new day, so that the children can see their unique genius. How to the bring this light? African Centered Rites of Passage!
