WE KNOW ALREADY that, despite the propaganda of the so-called “developed” countries, the life expectancy of the individual did not progress one inch, and actually, it is ironically regressing in these same countries that claim their population lives longer.
The trick behind the calculations of life expectancy, resides in the selection of the causes of death and the percentage of the people that the hospital system denaturalizes. But despite all the efforts, the frontier of time that is reserved for the human species, stays the same whether we are from a metropolitan city of America, a Chinese village, or an African village. As long as mankind will take two years to learn how to walk and nineteen years to get to adult life, our lives will not pass the borderline of a century and a half. The human being will live this brief moment as he has lived the nine months inside the womb. We have not yet seen a society that is working to make a pregnancy last longer with the hope that this will give a long life to the child that will be born. The frontier of time is there and is clearly marked by a sea of death.

 During times of slavery, it was the Master’s horn and whip that woke us up and forced us to the fields.

My childhood was spent in a community where talk of preparing for the future by accumulating material things was non-existent. When I came to the US, I found opposing priorities to the ones back home. Back home no one ever discussed going to college or validating ourselves with the accolades and titles handed out by the system. We lived one day at a time, because we had what we needed for survival. When I realized how things are done here, I felt deprived because I did not fit in. School was presented as a possible equalizer but I did not even have an idea of what I would be going to school for.
 In colonial society, planning for the future means planning how we will make and spend our money. We even plan our families based on how much money we make. Ironically, our possessions do not come with us when we die but the actions we take to obtain them do. I remember someone who came from the US to visit my community and was very surprised at how simply we lived. He said he had never seen people living without worrying about money or doing anything that pertained to saving things for the future. Our future was the continuation of our survival by teaching the children what we knew. Nevertheless, I left home because I was searching for something that I thought I had found when I came to America. All of the lessons of my childhood started to fade as I got more and more caught up into catching up to the way things are done here. It wasn’t until I came to the Earth Center that I realized that all my planning for the future (going to college, insurance plans, jobs, and so on), as I came to perceive it, was only a set-up that was making me dependent on this system while distracting me from living in reality or coming to know what I came to Earth for.

 The graduates: Akib Zari'imou (left) and Ikertbanitah Zari'imou (right) presenting their certificates. These graduates are the remaining initiates of a group which started almost two years ago. This group, as a whole, fell to the distractions of internal politics and discouragement following the death of The Earth Center founder and director, Master Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig. It was Master Naba himself who stated, “Many will make the mistake of focusing on the finger of the guide who is pointing to the moon, instead of on the moon itself.” They have proven that they understood, they have persisted on their path.

Kem Integrity through M’TAM

 Traditional cultures have an age old history of producing high quality individuals, strong families and tight-knit communities as shown in these photos. Unfortunately, increasing numbers of traditional people are being drawn to the glamour of modern culture at the cost of the values that define them
Through extensive investigation and analysis, history has revealed that most native people of any land, regardless of location, were able to survive for centuries because they had a system set in place that worked. Protecting which is of value, such as culture and tradition, entails a level of responsibility and commitment in order to maintain harmony. Whether it was in relation to the spiritual (non-material) or practical (material) world, they were able to adapt to their environment, regardless of its internal or external conditions. Despite their struggles, they were successful at preserving their values while living in harmony with the existence. If we assess these once stable and powerful cultures today, we will find that most no longer exist.
The conditioning that we have may immediately lead us to “believe” that traditional lifestyle is backwards, for savages, and that it is more comfortable to live life in the way the modern system has constructed it. These are some of the stereotypes that those who are trying to preserve traditional culture are faced with. We have to understand that in order for any culture that has ever existed to go from great splendor to squalor and ruins, it must have been influenced by either internal or external forces.In M’TAM, (the oldest initiatic education known to mankind), we are taught that a structure is only as strong as the people who uphold it. A society of highly developed individuals is necessary for achieving the goal of having a stable structure. For tens of thousands of years, the Kemetic structure (commonly known as Egyptian by the modern world) has given the world a model to follow for all aspects of life. The cultures that followed the Kemetic spiritual model were able to maintain themselves.
Highly developed people with the same collective goals are what make a harmonious society. The Kemetic structure is very demanding and requires those that follow it to be morally upright. From the Pharaoh to the commoner, everyone was expected to exemplify the Kemetic structure, because they all had the same objectives, which were to constantly improve their human qualities with the goal of building a world that resembled the divine world. This wasn’t just some notion, it was a reality.
