BAILEY'S AFRICAN TRADITION'S SAGES Volume 134

A brief African Tradition evolution presentation is it started with Primitive Africans being addicted students to Nature’s Processes—led by Shaman/Seers Myths of 200,000 BC. The first formal Civilization (social, technology, physical achievements) + Culture (Intelligence, Spirituality, Sublime Poetic Feelings developments) were in Nubia (Sudan). It was Nubia first to have laws, arts, writings, cults of the gods, festivals, solemn assemblies, sacrifices. Europeans’ literature date for this of 3800 BCE makes no sense. At some point, Lodge Schools appeared. There, African Scholars taught “ME/WE” Good Manners for the children; Insights into the Seen/Unseen world; Dialectic’s (now known as the Socratic Method) beginning lessons on Sacred Geometry (e.g. the Ankh); varied Constructions needed for daily living. Its Theme of African People possessing a profound understanding that life is an eternal journey, best done by “ME/WE” thriving with a sense of well-being, was expanded in ?c80,000 BC Houses of Truth. Here was taught topics, like Unity Order; humans’ Life Force; the Nubian Alphabet, Writing, and the world’s first texts which were placed in Word Storehouses; how to overcome Death in order to Renew Life Whereas Nubia had birthed Kemit + developed crafts like sculpture/painting in order to embellish and decorate the temples + had collections of Spiritual Topics on Nature’s Laws—these patterns, in their attachment to temples, spurred the formation of Houses of Life in ?c58,000 BC. In added teachings there were widespread: astronomy, astrology, dream interpretation, geography, history, mathematics, music and liturgy. By this time, the Mythological Stories had approached such Practical Knowledge as to be deemed Spiritual literature. Their messages contributed to the composition of Humankind’s original Bible, the Ancient African “Prt m Hru" (epitaph) text of Spiritual Literature--dating to 60,000 BC (Seleem p 59, xiii). It was also called the Ancient African Bible, out of which Seed concepts became Foundational ‘blocks’ for Thought Structures. They served as “Shoulders” on which newly discovered like-kind Thought building blocks could stand to form African Tradition Patterns possessing Continuity (unity in their diversity). Since this: (1) was around the same time Seleem also said Tehuti the “Master of Masters”--“The Great, Great, Great”— lived c50,509 BC and went on to put together the Divine Laws; (2) in my review of hundreds of European books not mentioning the word “Sage”; (3) since Europeans deliberately destroyed all the African Intellectual property they could find to forever hamper vital research; (4) by it being said African Egyptian Sages were in a Pharonic Dynastic beginning 42,000 years ago and lasting 36,525 years, my crude first ‘guesstimate’ is Houses of Life came into existence around then; my second is African Sages were in a state of “Becoming” in the Houses of Truth and reached their full maturity in the Houses of Life. Houses of Life expanded on what was prominent in the Houses of Truth + also Spotlighted Healing of the Psychic (e.g. Ritual Specialists of 30,000 BC)—Medicine (featuring herbs)—Surgery--and their terminology—all approaching what is seen today; “Know Thyself”; Mathematics; Martial Arts (30,000 BC). Finally, Egyptian Mystery Schools began ?c12,000 BC and dealt with the Systemization of all collected prior Truths; formed the Commandments for Right Life Thinking/Living; specialized in Quieting the Mind for Meditation + Contemplation for gaining Esoteric Knowledge; stressed profound thinking ways to handle Life’s daily duties (e.g. 7 Liberal Arts); developed Yoga (c10,000 BC). From their begging, African Sages were the Standard makers of African Tradition aspects.
