They are the   originators of what\u003cbr\u003e is commonly known as \"Greek philosophy,\" which is actually the   ancient\u003cbr\u003e Khamitic (Egyptian) way of life. \"Khamit\" refers to the original Nubian\u003cbr\u003e Maatian   culture of the Hapi (Nile) Valley Afrakans. The spelling of\u003cbr\u003e \"Af-ra- ka\" literally   means \"flesh [af] and soul [ka] of the hidden Sun\u003cbr\u003e [ra].\" The more common spelling,   \"Africa,\" comes from the Arabic word\u003cbr\u003e firk or frik, which means separate, divide,   or conquer. Like \"Africa,\"\u003cbr\u003e \"Egypt\" is a name imposed on ancient Khamit by foreigners.   The Khamitic\u003cbr\u003e people are the spiritual heads, teachers, motivators, and guides of   the\u003cbr\u003e planet ordained by NTR, the One Most High Creator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The people of ancient Khamit   had much to share thousands of years ago.\u003cbr\u003e We descendants and perpetuators of that   sacred tradition have much to\u003cbr\u003e share today. The hotep (peaceful) ways and original   holistic nature of\u003cbr\u003e the Khamitic people is a model that, if properly adapted, has   the\u003cbr\u003e ability to save Planet Earth from mass destruction. It is this path,\u003cbr\u003e this way   of life, that has so deeply inspired me and become the root of\u003cbr\u003e my life's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The   ancient ways of the Khamitic people can teach all people how to\u003cbr\u003e become truly humane   again. The Khamitic Masters came to this realization\u003cbr\u003e by purifying their lives. Today,   as we purify our own lives, we grow\u003cbr\u003e closer to our divine selves, and this transformation   can bring us to a\u003cbr\u003e state of constant bliss, peace, and wellness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sacred Woman is   the entranceway I offer into that state of\u003cbr\u003e enlightenment. Following the path of body\/mind\/spirit   purification can\u003cbr\u003e bring us to the place where we will be touched by and united with   the\u003cbr\u003e great-great-great-grandparents of the earth--the Ancestors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My Ancestors learned   how to combine and unite the elements of earth,\u003cbr\u003e air, fire, water, and spirit, and   they continue to teach us their\u003cbr\u003e methods through the carvings and inscriptions on   their temple walls.\u003cbr\u003e They bring us the gift of the laying on of hands through the   efforts of\u003cbr\u003e Ast (Isis) and her sister Nebt-Het (Nephthys) to restore life to the\u003cbr\u003e broken   body of Asar (Osiris), who became a symbol of resurrection for\u003cbr\u003e all humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contrary   to popular belief and ignorance, my Ancestors, the Black people\u003cbr\u003e of the Black land   of the Nile Valley, did not worship many gods and\u003cbr\u003e goddesses. My Afrakan Ancestors   viewed NTR, the Creator, as the\u003cbr\u003e undifferentiated One\/All-Divine from which all life   emanates. However,\u003cbr\u003e NTR has many wondrous divine attributes, and all of these\u003cbr\u003e manifestations--the   NTRU--are aspects of Its wholeness. Consider, for a\u003cbr\u003e moment, such divine emanations   as Maat, the aspect of balance, harmony,\u003cbr\u003e truth, law, righteousness, and reciprocity;   Het-Hru (Hathor), the aspect\u003cbr\u003e of divine love and beauty; and Nefer Atum, the Sacred   Lotus,\u003cbr\u003e representing the highest ascension and unlimited potential. Heru (Horus)\u003cbr\u003e the   falcon represents victory, the aspect that we can call upon to fly\u003cbr\u003e above all obstacles;   Tehuti (Thoth) embodies the aspect of divine\u003cbr\u003e intelligence, and so on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Khamites,   my ancestors, believed that within the heavenly realm the\u003cbr\u003e presence of the Divine   is reflected in the balanced worship of NTR--the\u003cbr\u003e Mother\/Father Creator, where both   aspects in One are given equal\u003cbr\u003e respect. By contrast, most present-day Western religions   recog-nize only\u003cbr\u003e the male priest and worship only a male God in a heaven of male angels.\u003cbr\u003e In the ancient Afrakan spiritual tradition, there is deep respect for\u003cbr\u003e the Mother   Creator and the female priestess as well as for the Father\u003cbr\u003e Creator and the male priest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Khamites lived the philosophy of Maat (harmony) and had respect,\u003cbr\u003e reverence,   and honor for NTR and Its divine manifestation in man and\u003cbr\u003e woman and all Nature. They   saw Nature and their environment as an\u003cbr\u003e expression of NTR, and an inspiration for   self-healing--from which my\u003cbr\u003e \"Heal Thyself \" philosophy comes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Khamites used   the element of water for purification rites through\u003cbr\u003e baptisms, fasting, and enemas.   They used the element of earth in the\u003cbr\u003e form of healing foods, herbology, and aromatherapy   to purify and\u003cbr\u003e rejuvenate the Body Temple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My Ancestors used the element of air--   breath--through what was called\u003cbr\u003e Ari Ankh Ka, now known as Hatha Yoga. The various   sacred movements and\u003cbr\u003e poses that have been depicted on the walls of temples and pyramids   were\u003cbr\u003e carved by my people thousands of years ago. Their records have outlasted\u003cbr\u003e man-made   misinterpretations and outlived the libraries burned by\u003cbr\u003e foreigners who could not   comprehend or appreciate the spiritual heights\u003cbr\u003e and advancement of my people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To   be recharged and purified, my people used the element of fire in\u003cbr\u003e rituals based on   the powerful rays of Atn-Ra (the Sun), which blazed\u003cbr\u003e over the vast desert of Khamit.   They used fire foods to cleanse, such as\u003cbr\u003e radishes, leeks, onions, and cayenne. They   burned frankincense and\u003cbr\u003e myrrh, cinnamon and other spices, herbs, and essential oils   and used\u003cbr\u003e them to smudge their bodies to destroy negative spiritual entities\u003cbr\u003e attracted   to the Body Temple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today, we only need to look to the source of this knowledge   as presented\u003cbr\u003e in the Forty-two Laws of Maat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FORTY-TWO LAWS OF MAAT \u003cbr\u003e I will not do   wrong. \u003cbr\u003e I will not steal. \u003cbr\u003e I will not act with violence. \u003cbr\u003e I will not kill. \u003cbr\u003e I will   not act unjustly. \u003cbr\u003e I will not\u003cbr\u003e cause pain. \u003cbr\u003e I will not waste food. \u003cbr\u003e I will not lie.   \u003cbr\u003e I will not desecrate\u003cbr\u003e holy places. \u003cbr\u003e I will not speak evil. \u003cbr\u003e I will not abuse my sexuality.   \u003cbr\u003e I will not cause the shedding of tears. \u003cbr\u003e I will not sow seeds of regret.\u003cbr\u003e I will   not be an aggressor. \u003cbr\u003e I will not act guilefully.\u003cbr\u003e I will not lay waste the plowed   land. \u003cbr\u003e I will not bear false witness. \u003cbr\u003e I will not set my mouth in motion against   any person. \u003cbr\u003e I will not be wrathful and angry except for a just cause. \u003cbr\u003e I will not   copulate with a man's wife. \u003cbr\u003e I will not copulate with a woman's husband. \u003cbr\u003e I will   not pollute myself.\u003cbr\u003e I will not cause terror. \u003cbr\u003e I will not pollute the earth. \u003cbr\u003e I will   not speak in anger.\u003cbr\u003e I will not turn from words of right and truth. \u003cbr\u003e I will not utter   curses. \u003cbr\u003e I will not initiate a quarrel. \u003cbr\u003e I will not be excitable or contentious.   \u003cbr\u003e I will not prejudge. \u003cbr\u003e I will not be an eavesdropper. \u003cbr\u003e I will not speak overmuch.   \u003cbr\u003e I will not commit treason against my Ancestors. \u003cbr\u003e I will not waste water. \u003cbr\u003e I will   not do evil. \u003cbr\u003e I will not be arrogant. \u003cbr\u003e I will not blaspheme NTR, the One Most High.   \u003cbr\u003e I will not commit fraud. \u003cbr\u003e I will not mistreat children. \u003cbr\u003e I will not mistreat animals.   \u003cbr\u003e I will not defraud\u003cbr\u003e temple offerings. \u003cbr\u003e I will not plunder the dead.","brand":"One World","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46303905743077,"sku":"NP9780345434869","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780345434869.jpg?v=1767736027","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/sacred-woman-isbn-9780345434869","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
