WHAT USE IS IFA TODAY?

According to Wole Soyinka (the only Nobel Laureate of literature in Africa), "it is a very curious phenomenon that Yoruba scholars are reluctant to come to terms with IFA. Even when they are trying to be somewhat objective about IFA, they are totally incapable of relating to it. They say it is a contemporary world. What use is IFA today?"

You can only ask "what use is IFA today" if you think IFA is merely a literary corpus of ancient verses, parables and anecdotes. However, there is more to IFA than a repository of literary corpus. IFA is high-science!

If African youths had not abandoned IFA for religious superstitions, they would have taken computer science to another level. For example, there are 16 principal Odu IFA elements, and these 16 IFA elements can further be extended to 65,535, and in some cases infinitely. Similarly, a CD uses 16 bits per sample. That gives each sample a range from 0 - 65,535. Coincidence?

There have been talks about computers running out of data storage space. This will never happen because the Odu IFA elements (i.e. patterns of binary code upon which computers operate) can be extended infinitely. So, if Odu IFA elements can be fractalized infinitely; certainly, computer-memory RAM can be extended infinitely.

FROM ABACUS TO MODERN COMPUTER - there is nothing new under the sun

Before the advent of electronic calculators, and certainly before the advent of modern computers, there was Abacus. Abacus is a simple calculator made from beads and wires, widely used by merchants and traders in Asia and Africa. The history of Abacus stretches back more than 2500 years; in fact, Abacus remained the fastest form of calculator until the 17^th Century.

The Abacus

Nearly every ancient civilization had its own Abacus counting frame. The use of Abacus in ancient Egypt was mentioned by the Greek historian Herotodus, who said that the Egyptians manipulated the pebbles from right to left.

In the West, Leonardo da Vinci was probably the first person to attempt to design an Abacus machine (Circa. 1452-1519). However, Gottfried Liebniz was the first person to attempt to use the Abacus machine for binary calculations; turning the machine into a rudimentary logic gate. (Circa. 1646-1716). In his book “Liebniz and China,” Franklin Perkins expressed to his readers how fascinated Liebniz was with the African and the Chinese I Ching binary geomancy (i.e., Ifa) that he obsessively pleaded with the absolute ruler of France, Louis XIV of France, to invade Egypt, having realized that the knowledge of binary geomancy was salient to executing all four basic mathematical operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing) on his Abacus machine. It was said that Napoleon’s failed invasion of Egypt in 1798 was a late implementation of Leibniz’s plan.

It would take almost another 300 years for early computer scientists to fully understand how Liebniz’s Abacus machine works, and how it could be adapted into a modern computing system we are now familiar with today.

Computers truly came into their own as a great invention of the 20^th Century, but they are essentially a modern day Abacus machine – there is nothing new under the sun.

My review of Joseph Atwill's book: "Caesar's Messiah."

In the book “Caesar’s Messiah,” Joseph Atwill contends that the canonical gospels are typologic fiction formulated by the Flavian Dynasty (i.e. Roman Imperial family) to invalidate the Torah. While the “Flavian thesis” proposed by Joseph Atwill is interesting, but certainly not convincing, I strongly believe that Mr. Atwill's claim is a clever attempt to validate the authenticity of the Torah and the pretended antiquity of the Hebrew sect.

Mr.Atwill is a "Josephus scholar" in that he premised his thesis on Josephus's historical accounts in the 1st Century CE. However, Josephus has been proven to be a pseudegraphical personage, invented to buttress the "Ancient Hebrew" thesis or the pretended antiquity of the Hebrew sect. In other words, Josephus never really existed as a historical figure, and Mr. Atwill's book and thesis must be taken with a grain of salt.

I do agree with Mr. Atwill that the Canonical gospels are typologic fiction, but so is the Torah. The Torah (i.e. Pentateuch) in its original form is called the Septuagint (LXX). However, the Septuagint is a crude translation of the confiscated-Ancient-Egyptian texts to Greek, not the translation of Hebrew texts to Greek an now implied by Mr.Atwill and the proponents of "Ancient Hebrew" thesis.

Moses as the purported writer of the Torah could not have written the Torah in Hebrew, even if he had lived, because there was no Hebrew script when Moses supposedly lived. I maintain that Moses or Ahmose is a pseudegraphical-Egyptian name that was created by the Greeks to hide the identity of Akhenaton or AmenHotep IV, an Egyptian king famously known to be the father of MONOTHEISM. I further maintain that the Septuagint/Torah/Pentateuch/Old Testament was formulated by the Greeks from the Ancient Egyptian texts, and the New Testament was formulated by the Romans. Before the two books (Old and New Testaments) were combined into one, the followers of the old testament (mostly monophysites) fought the followers of the New Testament (I.e. dyophysites) for nearly 1000 years (see the Crusade). The outcome of this fight led to the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the rise of Mohammedanism in Constantinople, and later Islam.

In other words, Islam in its original form was a form of orthodox Christianity, and remember that before the invention of Jesus by the Romans, there was Serapis in Hellenistic or Coptic Egypt, and before the invention of Separis by the Greeks, there was Ausar(Osiris) the father in Ancient Egypt. 

Ladies and gentlemen, the stories of the Hebrew as described in the scriptures are distorted and plagiarized stories of the Ancient Egyptians.

Pseudepigraphical Method

It is extremely critical for a student of history to understand that in the most early history of mankind, many nations indulged in a pseudepigraphical method of linking their history to the most remote antiquity, and hiding the pretended antiquity of their history in a way that would make it difficult for others to challenge. What is pseudepigraphy? Pseudepigraphy is a form of writing, mostly adopted by the Greco-Romans to delibrately ascribe false or incorrect authorship to authentic-literary works.

I maintain that around 2,300 years ago  (300 BC), the Ptolemy rulers of Hellenistic Egypt used an advanced pseudepigraphical method to compile the Septuagint, now called the Pentateuch. The Romans after them used the same method to compile the Novum Testamentum. Contrary to what we've been sold by the mainstream historians that the Septuagint is a translation of the Hebrew Pentateuch to Greek, conscientious scholars contend that the Septuagint is a translation of the Ancient Egyptian texts to Greek, not Hebrew texts to Greek as now implied. The mainstream historians' claim is premised largely on Flavius Josephus's (acclaimed 1st Century Jewish historian) historical accounts, but the conscientious scholars have proven beyond reasonable doubt that Flavius Josephus was a "pseudepigraphical personage" invented to further buttress the prenteded antiquity of the Pentateuch and the Hebrew antecedents.

I consider this ancient cover-up to have been the reason why the library of Alexandria was burnt down to destroy the evidence. I further consider this as to be the reason why the Kemetic bloodline is denigrated in the Pentateuch, and the Abrahamic bloodline elevated; even though, the Abrahamic bloodline and the authorship attributed to it are pseudepigraphical (I.e. false). Lastly, I consider this as to be the reason why the Egyptologists and others would never concede Kemet as part of the greater Nile Valley African Civilizations - this is anti-Kemetism. 

If you study Kemet and learn what happened out there during the Hellenistic reign of the Ptolemies, I promise, the present paradigm will make more sense to you.

Their power is tied only to your ignorance. Wake up!

IS HUMAN EVOLUTION A PERFECTING PROCESS?

The idea that human evolution is a perfecting process is ludicrous.

First off, man cannot evolve outside of the information or instructions 

he receives from his environment. And since environmental instructions 

are not perfect, evolution cannot be a perfecting process.

Secondly, every forward evolutionary step is coupled with a backward

devolutionary step. In other words, evolution and devolution are mutually 

exclusive. I shall illustrate my logic using the genetic disorder of sickle-cell 

anemia. 

The genetic signature of many people in the tropics had changed or 

mutated over time to develop a natural-defense-mechanism to malaria. 

This mutated gene forces the regular disc-like shape of the red blood 

cell to be sickle, an evolutionary feature that allows tropical people to 

withstand deadly malaria-fever. I must mention that human genetic 

signature is a binary signature. That is, when one side of the signature 

changes to accommodate a new set of environmental instructions, the 

other side devolves to compensate for this change. So, while sickle-cell 

signature is a natural shield against deadly malaria fever, its complementary

or  "trade-off" pair is actually destructive to the flow of oxygenated blood 

in the human body.  Similar trade-offs can be seen in people who suffer 

from Alzheimer, Autism, hypovitaminosis D etc. For example, Alzheimer and 

Autism are reverse compensations for the complexity of the human brain 

power, and hypovitaminosis D is a reverse compensation for hyper-melanization.

Let me now tie my reasoning above to the issue of genetically modified

foods (GMO). Many people are worried sick that the current surge in

the consumption of GMO foods would be harmful to human health. Yes,

the consumption of GMO foods would be destructive to the human body in

the short run; because, the GMO foods would introduce new or un-recognized 

set of instructions into the human cells. But in the long run, as the human body 

gets used to these GMO induced instructions, at least one human genetic 

signature would change or mutate to neutralize the adverse effect of GMO diets 

on the body. So, this dramatic change in human genetic signature is what many 

people call evolution. Again, since evolution and devolution are mutually 

exclusive. The moment at least one genetic signature evolves or changes to 

neutralize the adverse effect of the GMO diets, another genetic signature 

devolves or mutates to replace the evolved genetic signature.

In conclusion, evolution is a gradual change in the genetic structure of 

the biological populations due to a change in the environmental instruction 

or information. And since environmental instructions are not perfect; then, 

evolution cannot be a perfecting process.

RASTAS AND THE FABLE OF SOLOMON AND SHEBA

Saitic Isis and her young sun, Heru.

The words "Ras" and "Jah" connote light, wisdom or knowledge. When the Rastas chant "Jah Rastafari," they're essentially reaching for light, wisdom or knowledge. However, when they hail Selassie as a divine king due to his so-called "Solomonic antecedent" through the royal lineage of Sheba or Saba; it's clear they're attempting to reach for the ancient-Hebrew mythos!

The word "Saba," as the word "Ras" or "Jah," connotes light, wisdom or knowledge - Saba in Coptic means knowledge.That is, the mythical Queen of Sheba or Saba was the Queen of light or knowledge whom, I believe, symbolically represents Saitic Isis.

So if the Queen of Saba is the Queen of knowledge; then, it makes sense that King Solomon is the King of Wisdom or the King of light! It's often said that Solomon is the shekina or visible manifestation of divine wisdom. That is to say, Solomon, like Osir, personifies the sun. This is why the name "SOL!OM!ON" is the name of the sun in three different ancient languages, and why King Solomon is often associated with wisdom - light or enlightenment brings knowledge and wisdom.

I maintain that the Temple of Solomon was the Temple of Ausar or the Temple of the SUN; it had nothing to do with the pretended antiquity of Jerusalem and the Hebrew sect.

I further maintain that the mythical relationship between the Queen of Sheba and Solomon is an allegory for the astronomical relationship between the moon (Saitic Isis) and the sun (Ausar or Osir).

Arabic Script and its Independent Evolution from Islam

I once mentioned that the development of Arabic as a writing script had 

very little, if anything, to do with the evolution of Islam. First off, every 

well-known writing script today came from a common origin. This simply 

means a writing script is a system, and just like every other system can 

only be invented once.

According to the most credible historical records available to us, every
well-known writing script of today originated from the ancient Egyptian 

scripts: the Pictographic Hieroglyphs or Md Ntr, the Phonetic I alphabets 

or Heratic script, and the Phonetic II alphabets or the Demotic script - it's 

even plausible that the ancient Egyptian scripts were derived from distant 

pre-historic antecedents. Even Plato had this to say in his work "The Republic," 

and I paraphrase: of all the the known inventions of the Ethiops, writing was 

probably the most important. Of course in antiquity, the Axumites, Nubians, and 

the Egyptians were collectively referred to as Ethiopians, all from Cusha Dwipa 

without.

Arabic, and perhaps even Hebrew, as writing scripts came out of the

Phonetic II alphabets or the Demotic script of ancient Egypt, which in its 

original form was essentially the Kufic or meroitic script of ancient Sudan. 

Again, the development of Arabic as a writing script has nothing to do with 

the evolution of Islam.

When I re-examined the sequential order of the evolution of writing
itself, contrary to the general assumption, it occurred to me that the 

invention of Phonetic alphabets might be anterior to the invention of 

Pictographic Hieroglyphs or Md Ntr. That is to say, it's plausible that the 

Phonetic alphabets were invented by the priest-class thousands of years 

before the development of the Pictographic Hieroglyphs or Md Ntr. 

But for simplicity, the priests endeavored to invent the Pictographic 

Hieroglyphs for the unlearned masses. Think about it! It is much easier to 

use symbols and Pictographs to transliterate ideas than to use alphabets.

This I consider as to be the reason why Pictographic Hieroglyphs were 

ubiquitous in Ancient Egypt, and why Phonetic alphabets were only used 

on papyri for recording scientific knowledge.

In other words, my contention is that the Phonetic alphabets were first among

the writing scripts to be invented by the priests, perhaps, to record their mystery 

knowledge; while, the Pictographic Hieroglyphs were developed much later to 

convey this knowledge in a simplistic way to the masses - the Rosetta stone was 

probably built for this purpose.

All in all, the fact that Arabic is found in some ancient texts for recording 

scientific knowledge does not mean that the author(s) of these texts were 

Muslims or even Arabs. It just means that Arabic was a preferred script at 

that time. We've seen Pre-Islamic-Egyptian medical papyri with what looks 

like the Arabic script, and we've also seen Christian texts that were written, 

mostly, in Arabic. So contrary to the general assumption, Arabic and Islam 

are not synonymous!
