INTRODUCTION By:  Heru Ankh Ra Semahj Se Ptah (Baba Heru)

(EXCERPT)

“The theme expounded upon in this book, MAAT KEMETIC SOULISM is one of the foremost challenges confronting the Afrakan today. While MaaXeru Tep does not spare the Western Racist Apapians* his Sekhemetian rage, he places the responsibility for prosurrection, reclamation and reconstruction of the Afrakan spirit and psyche squarely in the hands of the Afrakans themselves. Increasingly from the 60’s, to the present, black scholarship has focused a concentrated eye on Khamitik (Ancient Egyptian) History, Cosmogony and Cosmology.   The study of the Khamitik or Kemetic paradigm has been intense, yet a return to Maatian values that governed Afrakan existence is advancing at a turtle’s pace.  The weekend feel good black history fix brought to us by black scholars/lecturers last just so long. On Sunday its back to “chuch” and on Monday morning it’s back to the plantation. Only here and there will you find those who walk the walk that they talk.  The dearth of living examples or role models leaves the seeker frustrated. The re-embrace of so conservative and compelling a spiritual culture such as MAAT is an awesome responsibility which many study to death in order to avoid its implementation and practice. Too many scholars/lecturers excite us with talk of our historical greatness from within the jail like confines of European suits and ties. They write well annotated volumes on khamitik/Kemetic spirituality while they pilgrimage at Mecca and Jerusalem-never the Nile.  They seek comfort in King James and Yusuf Ali interpretations-never the Book of Coming Forth To Day. Black audiences are overstuffed with information indigestion. Like Pac-Man they gobble, gobble, gobble, consuming the knowledge with no intention of application or becoming Maat. This book signals an end to that masturbatory exercise.”
