| Hetepu (Peace to you) Everyone. |
|
| Thanks to your efforts and responses to the post about African Science Explaining Christianity. I was counselled to rewrite this post about the Kametic tradition and most importantly the Ausarian Religion. This came right in time with a discussion I had to have with my family and friends about my ancestral path. I hope you enjoy... |
|
|
| What is the Ausarian Religion? |
|
| The Ausarian religion is a religion of peace. Thousands of years before Christ, Moses, Ankenaten, Abraham, Buddha, Muhummad and so on. There was once a king that wanted more than anything peace. You see during his time his people were warring and constantly fighting to destroy each other for their survival. And this king wanted to put an end to it. He didn't just want to put an end to the warring but also the human suffering that existed throughout his land. And through the assistance of a wise counselor he was able to do that. |
|
| This king was called by the Greeks Osiris, but his real name was Ausar. |
|
| The legends of Ausar and the miracles he performed exist throughout the world because once he was able to bring his people together he travelled around the world teaching others how to do the same remarkable things in order to improve their lives on earth. |
|
| What Ausar learned from his constant communication with God was how men and women could save their souls. It was from his dialogue with Neter (God) and his counselor (Tehuti), that Ausar taught his people many remarkable things. He taught them how to live peacefully with themselves and with each other. He taught them how to prosper. His teachings about the powers of the One God and it was later inspired others to awaken their divine light within them. |
|
| His wife Auset (Isis) soon developed a way to cultivate plants and herbs, which later gave birth to agriculture and herbal medicine. And eventually others would follow developing a writing and mathematics systems, judicial system, fine arts and crafts, a vast engineering system including electronics and so on. |
|
| Ausar was one of the first, if not the first to teach us about the divine powers within us. This divine power that God has given us all was taught to us by Ausar. Ausar didn't just inspire us to build temples and things of that nature. No, Ausar showed us how to be saved and his counselor Tehuti showed us how to save ourselves. |
|
| Was Ausar a real living being? |
|
| To my knowledge the king that was most analogous to Ausar was named Menes. He was the king that united Upper and Lower ancient Eygpt. We say it was Ausar because Ausar represents the power of God to bring unity, peace and prosperity to the earth. |
|
| So is the Ausarian religion polytheistic? |
|
| Not at all. God wouldn't have allowed our ancestors to accomplish so much and for so long if we were idol worshippers believing in false gods. No, we are very monotheistic and believe in only One true God. We see God as the creator of everything and therefore everywhere, just with different functions. |
|
| So, why the statues and other figures and so forth? |
|
| Those are important divinities that helped Ausar and we go to them for their assistance just as you go to Jesus for help. But we go to them for help just as the Catholics go the saints for help. As I said before we see God's presence in everything. We think of God as the government with different branches. Whereas the government is in control of the structuring laws and so forth in this country. God is in control of structuring life throughout the universe. |
|
| For instance, you have White House as the head of the governmental structure, the bodies of Congress, the law makers, the judges and attorneys, postal service, etc. Well God deals with that all in our daily lives all the time. |
|
| Explain what you mean as a governmental system? |
|
| Well, like the postal service in this country delivers mail and messages to other parts of the world. We believe that God is also plays a role in delivering messages in order to bring good news to us in our life. Just as mail is used to open the windows of oppurtunity such as congratulations, resumes and so on. Well, we believe that God also is able to open the doors to new oppurtunities but when God is in charge our doors are opened to better general health, luck, money, success, oppurtunities in life and so on. When God acts in this manner we call the manifestation, Sebek. |
|
| Another example is how the government in some countries provides healthcare and daycare. It use to be a time when the governments provided and assisted in the maintenance of strong families. Well as governments are subject to change, God remains the same and still assists in the family structure. |
|
| For instance, in our religion Auset was a devoted wife to Ausar and a very loving mother to their immaculately conceived child, Heru, who the Greeks called Horus. We go to Auset to inspire us to be devoted to God, to spiritual development, change and so on as she was to Ausar. We also ask of her assistance to be loving and caring to our families, bodies and to each other. Throughout the world and in our religion, women have had their wombs healed and been blessed with children through Auset. |
|
| It just is. This is the power of God. There have been people who have been diagnosed with malicious illnesses such as cancer, HIV and so on and told their days are numbered. But only Neter (God) can tell you what is possible and what is not possible. Only God can tell you how many days you have left on this planet. Men and Women can become so fascinated at times with their gadgets of technology and intelligence that they forget their place in God's plan. |
|
Well, we don't believe to much in the saints like the Catholics do but you are saying that you don't believe in gods?
That's correct, no idolworshipping here... But the neteru, we call them are those who helped God. You may not believe in the saints but you believe in the angels. This is what the neteru are, they are angels that assisted God. See had it not been for God, Ausar would not have ever learned of God's plan for humanity. So the neteru assisted God in bringing salvation to the world. The neteru also assisted God in other areas of life as well but that is another story.
Okay why do you have these altars or shrines up?
It is simple. What better way to remind you of God and what God has done for you then to have images of God's presence around us? See this seems pretty confusing but we have never seen the Almighty Creator and we don't even know God's name. We know of God because of the things that were done for all those living on the planet including us. We know of God because of the messengers just as you know because Jesus. This is why our ancestors called God, Amen, The Hidden and Self Created One, the Nebertcher, the Lord of Lords or Lord of Everything.
But, we have pictures and shrines just like you have several pictures of Jesus on your walls. Here's one showing him with children. Here he is watching over you. Here, he is saving your soul through baptism.
Well, it is the same with us. Lets' walk. This is Sebek, he is Opener of the Way to our salvation. Remember Jesus said something like that? Well Sebek like Jesus is sitting here by the door because he is watching everything we do reminding us to do the right thing. Why you ask? Because we need to be reminded all the time that we are divine. You see when we forget about our divinity that is when we get those evil temptations to commit sin. You hear people all the time say that they are going to quit smoking, drinking, cussing but they can't because often times they feel they need these things in order to live. That's a trick, isn't it? Well, that's why Sebek is here to remind us about the tricks and to help us from being tricked by the enemy to fall from grace.
But why so many shrines?
Because God is everywhere and sees and hears everything. People often say that they believe and know this but we find scientist, doctors, educators and so on often forgeting this. It was because people forgot that God made the earth and all the things that dwell in it that led to the pollution of the planet. It was because people forgot that only God can bring peace to the world that has led to the murdering and enslavement of people in God's name. That wasn't God that was over those things, it was men. See when we forget about God we create a gateway for evil to come in and take control. We then find ourselves thinking we are doing the best for everyone to find out in the long run that we destroying not just our own well being but others around us.
So how do they remind you of God?
Just their image reminds us. See when you look at this shrine of Auset you see she is holding her child. She is surrounded by children as well and has symbols of fish around her also. The first things you think of her when youu see her is your mother, grandmother, women in general and how they are loving and caring. You think of how precious the children, the babies are and how they are not able to defend themselves.
Well, God protects children and watches over us all as Auset does or any good mother would do. The first mother was God and this is what Auset represents to us. In our religion Auset cultivated plants and herbs in order for us to live, therefore she deals with life and healing practices. So the power of a women comes from God and in life we have to be nurturing and loving to our spiritual development, our families and loved ones. This is what Auset remind us.
But why do you need reminders?
Because we are special, that is Man and Woman compared to everything else on this planet. See everything else on this planet does what it is supposed to be that is what God told them to do. For instance, birds will fly because that it is what God told them to do. But, Man and Woman, God didn't tell us any of this. Remember in the bible, God told Adam and Eve they ruled the planet? Well that is what we can do. We can do anything want to do in the boundaries of God's plan. We can eat as much as we want, sleep, work do whatever and God will allow it. But when we do too much or too little we cross God's boundaries and God knocks us back. So what happens is that people forget.
What do you mean people forget?
I mean we get wrapped up in everything we want to do and forget about God. So, we suffer and we have pains and things in our life, our relationships, on our jobs and elsewhere. For instance, we may overeat and then we have a weight problem or curse too much to the point we can properly deal with our children. So, you see we get trapped into our own little lives and we forget the purpose of those things. It is like policemen and firemen who are excellent in fighting crime and fires and protecting society but their marriages and relationships suck. It is often because they forget that marriages and relationships can't be nurtured with this same aggressive energy used to fight fires and protect society. They have to be nurtured with the power of love, sharing, giving and sweetness. So, we go to the netert of love, relationships and marriage named Het Heru (Hathor).
See they are all the powers of God because they assist God in everything, in making God's Will known to the world.
What about this ancestor worship thing?
We don't worship our ancestors, we pay homage to our ancestors. The difference is that if we worshipped our ancestors it would be just like idol worshipping, which we are totally against. But we honor our ancestors, meaning we are devoted to the same things that those who lived before us were devoted to and that is family.
See, Big Dad and Big Ma they had to go through a lot of hell in order for us to be living. Very often people forget about this, that our ancestors triumphed through slavery in order for us to live. They could have easily given up the fight for living but many of them, thousands didn't for the sake of the children. There is always a price for everything and most of the time a sacrifice has to be made. For us to live, there were many sacrifices that were made and for that, they deserve to be honored.
Here you see fruit, food, tobacco, some gin and wine which are offerings to their memory but the real homage is not forgetting what they have done so that we don't repeat the same mistakes.
The other thing to remember is that even though they have physically passed on they haven't spiritually. People often say that their loved ones are in heaven or alive just in the heavens but how many people believe that? Not many because they don't have proof. Well, we believe it and know that it true because the spirit never dies only the body. And as a result, they continue to play a role in our lives rather we want to believe it or not.
So are you saying you are honoring their memory?
Correct we are honor their memory but we are also honoring our history.
What do you mean you are honoring your history?
Well history is not just in a book, that is recorded history. History is in our blood, it is in our soul. We as a people of African descent will always shake and knod our heads to the beat of a drum because it is in our blood. It doesn't matter because our ancestors used the drum to tell stories, in religious ritual, in initiations, in rites of passages and other means. They used the drum when we worked and when we played to unify us as a people through the sound of music. So the drum has been a part of our history since the beginning of time, it seems. Ok?
Ok, but how does this deal with honoring our ancestors?
By honoring our ancestors we would have learned the history about how to use the drum and what to shake to but because we don't do this as a people. Any one can come to us through music and good beat and we will dance to it, no matter if it is good or bad. And you wonder why the music industry is all for popularizing Gangsta music? So now you have people dancing to their own destruction, the abuse of their bodies, the abuse of women and children and to each other.
Are you saying people are stupid?
No, I am saying that the evil spirit we call Set, your Setan or Satan, is a very tricky and clever spirit. He knows that when people don't know they are divine, they can be manipulated to do anything. He knows that when people don't honor their ancestors they forget their history and culture, and can be enslaved into doing anything. He is very clever and tricky and uses many weapons to achieve his goals and one of which is ignorance.
So, the Ausarian Religion is about what?
It is about living a successful, glorious and peaceful life.

The Difference Between the Kametic and Egyptian
Don't let them fool Ya! True History of the ancient Africans of the Nile & their contributions to the world.
|
Most of the modern confusion regarding the Kametic people comes from several sources. The first and most obvious is sloppy scholarship, that has mislabeled the ancients as being idol worshippers. This confusion is the result of a non-spiritual culture interpreting another, as many of the Western scholars have done as they continue to research for hard evidence of an afterlife and other spiritual realities. This particular energy is known in the Kametic tradition as negative manifestations of Sebek, which is believing only in what you touch, hold, see and hear. In other words, non-holistic thinking, which is at present the way Western scientist and doctors approach life. Can you even imagine trying to heal your body without assistance from God? This is a great trick and for more information on this See Sebek .
The second misunderstanding about the Kametic people comes from the Christian lore and misunderstanding that has prompted Hollywood into making movies such as the Ten Commandments and the Mummy.
But the last and most recent group to confuse the issues regarding the ancient Kametic people, which is the subject of this discussion. Comes from the European occultists in their fascination with the ancient culture but denial of who the people really are. As a result, most people when they hear of anything regarding a person involved in the ancient practices of the Kametic people. It conjures up images of people walking in robes, wearing ancient Egyptian clothing and so forth. This is a common practice done by many of in the European devotees in the occult and lodges.
The Kametic people were ancient black people of the Nile Valley. These people as many indigenous people have done, settled around a river, in this case the Nile because of the abundance's that was produced from it. The history of the true Kametic people can be found in many literary works listed in the books recommendation page.
Anyway, after many successful attempts over a period of thousands of years, the land was finally conquered by invaders. This invasion ended the Kametic empire, that is so highly loved and cherished to this day. It was the first monotheistic tradition and the oldest spiritual system in the world. As a result, of the downfall this gave rise to the Egyptian people. The Egyptian people were the conquerors who settled in the land and there they remained after each conquest from the Arabic influence to that of the Romans.
Now the question should be arising as to what is the difference between the Kametic and Egyptian people? And the studious reader should note that the Egyptians simply imitated the original people of the past, as they are continuing to do even in modern Egypt. This is what makes them Egyptian, which is Greek for Aigyos. It is the fact that they appreciated the science and other wonders that the ancients had to give but never appreciated the original culture. This is one of the reasons why it was necessary for them to conquer the land. But even with conquering the land, they still did not understand that the importance was about the land but about the Kametic mind (or spirit).
Now, by understanding that the ancient Kametic people were of ancient African stock, it is easy to see where they may have moved on to. But, with this important fact missing from Western scholarship people are thrown into the belief that the Kametic people just vanished into thin air. This is what has prompted the idea of aliens appearing and building pyramids then leaving with no trace. But, it is actually cultural biasses towards an advance culture, that is supposed to be considered primitive. A common mistake perpetrated by most who do not understand another culture.
So where did the ancient Kametic people go? Well some stay around the ancient land but it is believed that most of them migrated to the West of Africa. It is also believed that the strongest tribe amongst the Kametic people were the Akans. What this means is that the Kametic people would actually have some very strong similarities with the present traditional African cultures.
And this is the case. For instance the boy King Tutankhamun is an Akan word that is pronounced in the original tongue Tutu Ankoma. The author of the ancient Lamentation found in the Papyrus Chester Beatty IV in whose name was Khakheperre-sonbe in the Akan tongue is pronounced Kwaku Pra Sebe. For more information see Africans Who Wrote the Bible.
So, understand that the present Kametic tradition, is based upon the same ancient African principles that is common amongst many of the present ATR. They are still based upon the unity of the people, the honoring of ones ancestors and spiritual development. Not who was Cleopatra or dealing with the netert Sekhmet for their own self interests. |
Suggested readings regarding the African Traditional Religions and the ancient African Traditions of the Nile Valley Civilization:
|
1. Neter means God or Supreme Being and is capitalized when speaking about the Supreme Being. When spelled neter it is translated to be divinity or angelic force, which is an expression of the Supreme Being.
2. In the Kametic language " u " is used to make plural a singular word such as is done in the word neteru and the letter " t " is used when speaking about a female divinity such as the neter-t.
