I too suffer from this metaphysical “black hole” in my heart and soul. I have been seeking a home grown, natural TRUTH that could fill the hole. Why “home grow?” People have been trying for over a thousand years to transfer religion and TRUTH to Africans. They applied physical violence as jihad. Others carried out “punitive expeditions” on us. Deceit and SPRA (Spiritual, Psychological, and Ritual Abuse) has persisted. Yet Africans remain the sick babies of the world, they suffer from haemorrhaging and malnutrition spiritually, economically, and otherwise. We have been shut out of TRUTH as has evolved over thousands of years of our natural history.
The world pointed to the logical type according to which the ideas in African were organized and named it “pre-logical attitudes” as, “ . . . a kind of thought in consequence of which objects, beings, phenomena can be, in a fashion, un-intelligible to us (i.e. Europeans and their descendants), both themselves and at the same time something other than themselves”. [Words in parenthesis supplied] (Lucien Lévi-Bruhl) My next attempt at filling the metaphysical black hole is to explicate the metaphysics of thoughts, ideas, attitudes, etc. inherent in the dynamics that Lévi-Bruhl pointed at as pre-logical. I found out the TRUTH of the religion of my roots.
We are now concerned about the nature of being and beings, existence, time and space, and causality as inheres in ideas and attitudes in Africa; i.e. seeing the metaphysics through the African mind. We should try as much as possible to maintain the ultimate underlying principles or theories that form the basis of Africans’ worldview about knowledge; that is the only way to rediscover the TRUTH of the religion of our roots.
Eminent scholars tried very hard in the past not to “confuse” readers in the international community by forcing the thoughts about “objects, beings, phenomena not to be both themselves and at the same time something other than themselves”. They ended up shutting readers and researchers out of the world that they tried to elucidate. Hence, I would be breaking from tradition in favour of truth and liberation of people from ignorance and bigotry. The product should be consistent internally while it might be inconsistent with that of the “civilized” logic in the world in which we Africans find ourselves in Africa and the world at large. The world should brace her therefore that she will be confronted with the stack reality of the mysteries in what an author once called the heart of darkness.
For the African, his/her spiritual emancipation depends on the truth that will be revealed. Our goal is to point out the way to eternal life in an adjacent world by metamorphosing from this one. The prospect of achieving that goal is already bothersome to the “scholar”; I know. However, if that scholar is an African whose roots are in Africa south of the Sahara, his/her sanity depends on it.
We should really be relying on divining TRUTH for ourselves to begin with as the metaphysics will recommend.The ultimate communication is through divination, which is by one’s soul, intellect, extra-sensory faculty, etc. contacting the supernatural to find out about the mysteries in the past, present, and future.
The religion that we will be discovering is based on miracles, sighting natural phenomena, and hearing injunctions publicly from the supernatural or Osa.
