EXCERPT (pg 15)
“In my opinion, the character trait of true inner strength in a people is defined by a peoples behavioral ability to physically survive and mentally (spiritually) develop, generation after generation, by utilizing and enhancing the cycle of natural resources that coexist within their origin-habitat. Let’s be clear, “enhancing the cycle of nature simply means to maintain the “balance” of the natural order, which allows the natural order to modify (in Balance) with time. On the other hand, the character trait of inner spiritual weakness in a people is defined by a peoples behavioral “inability” to physically survive and mentally [spiritually] develop themselves generation after generation, by utilizing and enhancing the cycle of natural resources that coexist within their habitat-environment. Also, the character trait of inner (spiritual) weakness is defined as the subsequent “ability” to survive ONLY by destroying and exploiting the cycle of natural resources that exist within other people’s origin-habitat. Now, because strength coincides with, and depends on, the “means” of human survival, and those means are the maintenance and stability of nature, purpose of life must therefore be defined as the Act to sustain the balance of Nature. But now the question is: Can a people focus on their purpose if there is turmoil inside the family unit? Can a people realistically exercise their purpose if there is bias, discrimination and greed existing inside the family unit? Can a people realistically exercise their purpose if there is bias, discrimination and greed existing inside the family and community? Absolutely NOT! Well this is where the principles of MAAT comes in to play.
In Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) ideology it is understood that the spirit or purpose of NETER (GOD) is the beginning of the human SOUL (BA). Therefore NETER (GOD) and the African are forever bonded in the identical spirituality, or in other words, NETER (GOD) and the African are as ONE. African humanity, by adopting the image purpose of NETER (GOD) automatically adopted the responsibility to procreate and cultivate NATURE. In Kemetic ideology it is understood that NETER (GOD) is the activated spirit of NATURE, and the definition of NETER (GOD) is the cultivation and protection of itself (in the form of nature). Also, in Kemetic ideology, it is understood that NATURE has two divisions, HUMAN and SPIRITUAL, that are connected and act in support of one another. When NETER (GOD) activated the consciousness of African humanity in an image of itself, African humanity became delegated custodians or guardians of NATURE.
Nature on a (1) human or sociological division, breaks down into four (2) spiritually connected parts: Environment/Community/ Family/ Self
Self belongs to family, family belongs to Community, Community belongs to the Environment, and ALL belong to, extend from, and are the connected purpose of Cosmic -NETER (GOD). Therefore NETER (GOD) in the form of the African must cultivate and protect SELF, FAMILY, COMMUNITY, and Environment. However, there is no way a person can effectively cultivate and protect anything if that person cannot cultivate and protect spiritual self. The principles of MAAT and the practice thereof, restrict the ability of earth’s unnatural forces (SET-European/Arabs) to penetrate NETERU (Nature) and ultimately disrupt and destroy the balance of Nature.
In Kemetic ideology it is understood that the definition of the Force of Evil is defined as that which OPPOSES NATURE (NETERU). This unnatural forces’ mission is to destroy NETER by destroying the environment; destroy the environment by disrupting the community; disrupt the community by breaking down the continuity of family, break the continuity of family by reversing the spiritual value system of self. African humanity’s traditional or original posture of life is based in this particular NETER-provided MAAT-concept. This concept simply reflects the cultivation and protection of the spiritual essence of NETER (GOD), or definition purpose of the African, by protecting NETERU (NATURE-African) in order to allow the continued cultivation and proliferation of Nature. Also, and most importantly, the practice of MAAT allows the individual to live out his or her TRUE rooted purpose on earth. A purpose that is defined by the individual’s connection, cultivation, and protection of Nature (Neteru). It is the individual’s lifelong behavioral practice of TRUE rooted purpose that qualifies that particular individual the RIGHT to stand with NETER in the spiritual After-life (Amenta) after the Soul of the individual (deceased) is judged Righteous. MAAT has been promoted, advocated, and well documented for thousands of years, particularly is structural form between 6000 (BCE) and 500 (ACE).
MAAT (MA’AT) (Right and Truth), is broken down into SEVEN principles. The seven (translated) are:
- TRUTH (OF SELF)
- RECIPROCITY (STABILITY OF FAMILY)
- PROPRIETY (STABILITY OF COMMUNITY)
- ORDER (OF FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND ENVIRONMENT)
- BALANCE (OF NATURE)
- RIGHT (DECLARATION OF TRUTH)
- HARMONY (ONENESS OF THE SOUL)
