If one wants to be more than a passive observer of life and instead an active fighter in the great battles to improve the world (and the place of Africans in it), you must be a philosopher, a perfectionist, a pursuer of real life/applied answers to big questions---one that prepares daily to take principled and firm stands in this life and in this world.  Instead of being on your knees, bent over, bowed, hoping, and pleading for help from the enslaver's saviors---you must have lasting convictions in the shape of an advanced, morally sound scientific world outlook and work ethic.  Faith without works is dead. 

Initiation was the ancient Kmt Way of making perfect the soul in this world based on deeds in this world.

Context

• Ancient Kmtians created morality and ethical codes to purify, perfect, order, and balance behavior in a just manner.  Justice was a way of life.  Temples were built, educators were trained, engineers were apprenticed into mastery, and priests were initiated into 360 degrees of knowledge (known in that period).  Precision and perfection were goals in every area of human activity. 
• Our ancestors used mathematics to solve engineering, construction, urban planning, agricultural, and mining problems. They used mathematics to measure time, count stars for ceremonies, find the height of the Nile flood each year, calculate areas of land, count money, construct building, plane roads, divided farm land, build dams, determine taxes, etc. Math was necessary for the complex engineering used to build the pyramids, temples, educational institutions, forts, ships, and underground installations. Every element of build was planned meticulously.  Ancient African Kmt architects and engineers were perfectionists.  They left nothing to chance.  Kmtian science, medicine, mathematics and astronomy were all of an exponentially higher order of refinement and sophistication than will ever be acknowledged by the invaders who utterly decimated and destroyed it. The whole of Kmtian civilization was based upon a complete and precise understanding of universal laws. This profound understanding manifested itself in a consistent, coherent and interrelated system that fused science, art and morality into a single organic Unity. In other words, it was exactly the opposite of what we find in the world today.
• Moreover, every aspect of Kmtian knowledge was directly tied to the study of nature and the struggle and unity of opposites from the very beginning. The sciences, artistic and architectural techniques and the hieroglyphic system show virtually no comparison to the later civilization after the interpenetration with invading predators from lower Kmt. It fell apart, unraveled, and imploded as it interpenetrated with waves of predators. Indeed, many of the achievements of the earliest dynasties were never surpassed, or even equaled later on.
• Everything about Kmtian civilization, from the construction of the pyramids to the shape of an African queen's crown, was motivated by a central holistic vision about the nature of cosmic harmony and an awareness of humanity's place in the evolution of consciousness. Complementarily and uncertainty a stretch of our minds beyond the "either/or" of syllogistic logic, to an understanding of how reality works. Complementarily and uncertainty ask us to hold mutually exclusive ideas together--the basic idea behind Ka. This "simultaneity of opposite states" is a way of holding together the object of sense perception and the content of inner knowing, in a kind of creative polarity. When the Kmtians saw the hieroglyph of a bird, they knew it was a sign for the actual, individual creature, but they also knew it was a symbol of the "cosmic function" that the creature exemplified--flight--as well as all the myriad characteristics associated with it. Hieroglyphics did not merely designate; they evoked. The observation of simultaneity of mutually contradictory states demonstrates the existence of two forms of intelligence.
• What were we before the enslavers forced themselves on us? Where were we?  What did we have?  What was our's?  What did we own?  What were our names, holidays, holy land, family structures, religions, beliefs, clothing, architecture, hair, morality and ethics? Our crawling around with the predator's Christian, Muslim and Jew religions are about fear, submission and servitude. Slavery cannot be ended when the mentally enslaved see more in the enslaver than they see in themselves.  Today most Africans organize their lives around the religions, and beliefs of the very people who enslaved them and are continuing to oppress/exploit and take advantage of them.  This has to end.  Cultivate in oneself to be simple and to see simply is the first task of anyone wishing to approach the sacred symbolism of Ancient Kmt.
• The genuine form of intelligence and spirituality whose most total expression was located in the civilization of ancient Kmt, is of "the heart." a new kind of consciousness, a perfecting of soul---a belief in doing right for right sake. The basic insight was to think simply, to live simpy, to dress simply, to eat simply, to abstract oneself from time and space, and to "consider only the aspect common to every thing and every living impulse.

• Caught in the enemy' educational system, nothing but a prison cell of lies, myths, rot learning and brown nosing---our mental disposition looks for a straightjacket, for the rigid, irrational scheme upon which, taken as a firm foundation, we attempt the construction of our mental edifice. Maat thought refuses to build on such an invariable base because life is moving and progressing. Destruction and death are likewise moments of life. There is a simultaneity of time and appearance in the phenomenon; the phenomenon is a obvious yet hidden, and because one knows it, and never forgets it, one can be practical and realistic without fear.

• The educational system of African Kmt was comprehensively suited to individual ability; it gave to each what was necessary to whet personal interest and faculty for working, but reserved the teaching of the inner temples. Only those who would go through a lifetime of initiations, those who would pay with their lives, those who were willing to undergo complete moral, mental, and material transformation could become the great sages in that day. There are great lessons to be learned From African Kmt's educational system by modern students of world studies through African eyes.
• Flowing through this ancient system is a complex moral and philosophical system which flowered without the brutal intervention of either the monotheistic, intellectualized White God of Christian theology or the infiltrating "we come in peace" and "merciful" Allah of Muslim theology. In fact, African Kmt developed quite efficiently for over 4000 years without a fully conscious divinely inspired messianism like that of the two religions earlier mentioned. This "God," this unmoved mover, this "absolute spirit," this "universal vital force" did not sleep before the advent of these two world religions but had influences in earlier epochs in ancient African history, inspiring high scientific and moral standards, codes of right and wrong, and confessions of innocence.

• From the very beginning of its civilization, the indigenous Black population of African Kmt was dualistic cosmologically and philosophically in art, writing, aesthetics and every day cultural life. The art is materially vivid in expressing this union of opposites, particularly those in the tombs of Peraas, queens, engineers, judges, teachers, priests, scribes, and noblemen of all periods. In this mode of thought, everything in life is interrelated and exists within a continuum of natural birth, death, and rebirth in some new form or content.
• This system of thought synthesized this reality within an all-embracing process of evolutionary and devolutionary patterns, which are continually being repeated, but never under the same exact conditions, and never with the same exact results. Instead of a circle-based process, African Kmt saw development and change as a reincarnating spiral of material and spiritual events. This is African civilization at its best, at its beginning, at its highest, at its morally soundest, in its purest most fluid form---a form uncontaminated by later invading Whites and Arabs.  When the invaders came they tore-up everything, decimated the very best and brightest civilization in ancient history.  Now Black people run around with rags tied on their heads, and tied around their necks emulating their oppressors---ignorant of how far we have fallen.
• In ancient Kmt, certain tableaux, such as those of war, farming, wine-making, fishing, or the paintings of men and women of the upper classes as they hunt game, or of temple construction and other crafts, give a virtual multidimensional expression of the essential fluid, movements, self-impressions, and gesture of the behavior depicted. This expression of thought and art was able to organize the essence of a natural action, depict the process, show its unities and its opposites, use the natural surroundings as a symbolic basis of mental abstractions, and summarize the phenomena in words, picture-drawings, painting, monuments, statue or temple by means of a few generative principles.

KMT Initiation in History

In history, Kmt Initiation involves a process of discipline or purification both of body and soul.  For months initiate will under go disciplinary intellectual exercises and bodily purification with intervals of test and ordeals to determine their fitness to proceed to the more serious stages of initiation. 

Lying, cheating, stealing, promiscuity, drug use or abuse, snitching, down low, low down, drug selling, cowardice, abandonment, confusion, self destruction, crawling, selfishness, ego, superstition, speculation, carelessness, wastefulness, rottenness, adultery, promiscuity, prostitution, pimping, defeatism, losing, accepting defeat even before fighting, passiveness, self hating, disrespectful, ignorant, late, lazy, scared/fearful, spinelessness all have their opposite.  This is the goal of initiation.  To move the filthy to the clean, the degenerate to the morally sound, the bent over to the straight. 

This is a process of step-by step development. Before and after initiate passes from one stage to another S/he has to fulfill a number of tasks and pass a number of tests to be allowed to go through to the next stage.  Every test served as a measure of the level of intelligence, moral strength, philosophy of life, purification nature of mind and body.  The part played by Kmt temples was that of selecting and forming individuals capable of aspiring to this ideal type and of receiving the legacy of the ancient wisdom.  Therefore is necessary to isolate successive stages in the formation of the developed individual.  The preliminary stage is the awakening of the latent consciousness by cultivating the power of observation, the recognition of values and the sense of responsibility.  Requires the uncovering of the inner ear.  Simplicity of the heart and mind.

• 1. Sense in the initiate the qualities characteristic of a predestined being.
• 2. Undertake the guidance of their education.
• 3. Send then through the school of nature.
• 4. At first, encourage to work the soil and to spend days in observation of plants and animal life, as this is the best way to develop ones innate talents.
• 5. Appoint first master teach.
• 6. When initiate's acquaintance with nature has been deemed adequate, appoint initiate to second master teacher.
• 7. Establish selves as a positive force in the lives of African workers by providing essential services and resources, along with political/cultural indoctrination.
• 8. Before being accepted into the temple, each candidate participates in struggle for the African population, advances and begins to work more closely with the temple until the time comes when that person on their own makes the big decision of asking to join the temple.

No short cuts, but methodical patience toward a long-term goal. Step by step, over a protracted period of struggle, future candidates are forged in day to day family, community and cultural struggle.  

Members Initiation

Kmt Initiation consisted of three degrees, denominated the greater, intermediate, and the less.  In order to become qualified for admission into the higher order, it was necessary to have passed through those lower orders.  Each degree was divided into 13 different grades.  The process could go from 39 to 42 stages depending on the place of initiation.

• § The character of the candidate for initiation should be pure, direct, honest, humble, unsullied. The neophytes were commanded to study those lessons which tended to purify the mind and to encourage morality
• § The honor of ascending form the less to the greater mysteries was highly esteemed as it was hard to obtain: no ordinary qualification was required of the aspirant to this important privilege
• § Apart from enjoying an acknowledged reputation for learning and morality, the initiate was required to understand and undergo the most severe ordeal and to show the greatest moral, ethics, discipline, and humility
• § Address the material and spiritual day to day needs of the African population combined with community programs that facilitate cultural and political educational efforts. The temple analyzes the person's situation, their strengths and weaknesses, and if worthy, accepts them into the temple for immediate initiation. There is no construction without destruction. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Elementary Process of Initiation

Before being accepted into the temple, each candidate participates in struggle for the African population, advances and begins to work more closely with the temple until the time comes when that person on their own makes the big decision of asking to join the temple.

• 1. In the process the candidate performs many small tasks which evolve into larger and more complex assignments.
• 2. These practical assignments develop further until they culminate in a planned action that puts candidates irretrievably outside of an immoral enemy law.
• 3. High demands are posed on candidates and master teachers to break with the old way.
• 4. Absolute and complete dedication to the struggle is required in words and actions. Respect for ones word is sacred. Strict adherence to the Guiding Principles, Rituals, Confessions of Innocence, and Warnings leads to spiritual, and moral purity.
• 5. Evaluation and training is finished after examinations establish that person has shown themselves worthy.
• 6. Demand a necessary firm, precise, rigorous, disciplined work ethic. Require necessary firm philosophical, theoretical, methodical foundation. Know them by their deeds. Judge them based on results.

The temple analyzes the person's moral, mental, and material performance by their deeds and conscious activities and if worthy accepts them into the temple as probationary members.  Probationary members take the Oath, promising absolute and complete dedication to justice.   Next they promise to give their very best.  The three stage process of initiation begins. It may take 13-36 months, no more no less. 

Once in the temple, systematic ideological and cultural training begins after assignment to command.  You will know them by their works.  

The temple analyzes the person's situation, their strengths and weaknesses, and if worthy, accepts them into the temple for immediate initiation. There is no construction without destruction.  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  

The old must be ruthlessly destroyed in the initiate, and the new must be born.  After acceptance, candidates then undergo strict, lengthy, systematic, and extensive indoctrination, purification, evaluation, and training. 

The Way

Africans: Africans only. Africans are at one point along the culture/race continuum: white, white/black, black/white, black.  The midpoint is the transition from white/black to black/white.  Those moving to black/white can be worked with, along with black.  We are a common people in being African who are treated the same rotten, patronizing, exploitative, inhumane, as if we count for nothing, less than human way by Europeans, Arabs, and Jews.  They do not respect us.  We should never respect anyone who does not respect us.  Never.  Categorically, they place themselves above Black people in every area of existence. Look at the world.  We have a common problem of being taken advantage of for over 2700 years.  We have a common series of threads that link us together and there is no escaping this. 

Identification:  This can occur through various venues.  Honesty, hard working, fair, just, black/white to black Africans in need of survival help are potential candidates.

Initial Probe:  After the identification is made, the person should be approached carefully to see exactly where they stand.  The best method to do this is to use planned questions along with silence.  Let them tell you about their beliefs and ideas.  Meet atleast three times at this stage in the process.

Preliminary Discussion: After the previous steps are fulfilled satisfactorily and the unit has voted favorable to approach the individual further and the section has been notified and also is in agreement, the individual shall a preliminary discussion with either one of the persons or all of the persons that are in a good relationship with the individual.  With discussion does not go into specific details. 

Formal Interview:  It is here that the individual is interviewed by the heads of the unit, along with the members that have a relationship with the individual.  Members that know the individual can either argue for or against the individual, and the arguments will be noted in the summary given to the section committee.

Application:  This is the first step in the initiation process.  The person must perform activities that will show that they are serious about their work.  This can also be known as control tasks.  These task should utilize the abilities of the individual.  The results of these tasks are to be evaluated by the leaders of the unit and a summary to be presented to the section.  If the section views the results favorably, then the next stage is to be undertaken.  If the section views the results unfavorably, a statement as to why will be given to the individual and a second chance be given if seen fit.

Practicum:  This is the second step towards reaching initiation.  This is the process of readying the individual for the various tasks that he/she will have to undergo.  Again, control tasks to a higher level should be used, as well as measures of self-discipline and control.  The section must be given an evaluation of the results and they shall vote on whether the person is to continue.

Initiation:  This, of course, is the most rigorous part of the initiation process.  Before admission to initiation, all new members must be thoroughly processed through local   units on the recommendation of three members and a general membership meeting of the loacl   unit.  This is an accumulation of application and practicum.  This is the true test of character and work of the individual.  All parts of their being will be called upon to work as one (maa't, ka3, metu neter, tera nasha).  If the person had continued to develop throughout the initiation process in these areas, then the initiation will present no difficulty.  However, if there is a flaw in the armor, it will be found. It will either be mended by the person and they will survive the process or else they will not be able to fix it and will cease to be a part of the organization.  Again, the section has the final say.

Membership Duties and Rights:  Upon successful completion of the initiation process, the new member shall be told of their duties and rights and receive an organizational manual.  As a member, they will be told of what is expected of them and in which area they will be working.  They will be expected to quickly move into a position where they will be positively aiding the work of the unit.  While they are a full member, they are under a period of probation.

Probation:  The new member will be on probation for a period of no less than three months but no more than six months.  Their work will be evaluated very carefully, as will their development within the organization.  If at the period of six months, the person has not shown adequate development and good work, another probation period of three months may be added. If at the end of this period progress is still not adequate, one more period of three months may be added.  However, if by the end of this one year the person is not fulfilling the obligation that they have, they shall be expelled.

Assignment Level:  After the probation period is over, the person is then assigned to a specific task.  The level of this task is determined by the person's past record with the organization, all the way back to the beginning of the initiation process.  The assignment is up to the discretion of the unit chairpersons, and can be appealed by a member of the group if the member sees flaws that might inhibit the work from being done.

Replication: Persons that have become members will be called upon to replicate the good work done during the initiation process in all areas that they are assigned to work.  All areas again have to work together as one if their tasks are to be accomplished.  Each time that a new task is received, they will be expected to operate on a higher level, benefiting from the experiences that they have undergone.

Multiplication: Not only will members be expected to carrying this out in single assigned areas, but in all areas of life.  And as they do so, their work will come in contact with and affect others, therefore expanding their work's impact not in single, additive terms, but in multiplicative terms. There work will impact two-fold, three-fold, four-fold, etc.

After initiation is complete, we must immediately place all capable initiates in such conditions as will enable them to develop and apply his/her abilities to the utmost.
