The Sun
Anya-anwu na agbala
Eze-enu, Okasi akasi
Ama-ama-amasi-amasi

That is to hail him by his true names being:
the light and the spirit,
the king of the heavens, the Almighty
the omniscience and omnipotent
creator.
African traditional cosmogony recognizes the potency of the Sun, as the creator force that is seen in the material form.
Just like its earlier expression in Egypt, the Sun is the symbol of life and the God. In Khemit, the Sun was know by various names notably Ra. Voodoo as is found in modern Africa venerates the Sun by several praise names some of which are listed above.
In this solar system, African spirituality recognizes the planets as the original gods and goddesses. The earth is a goddess; the mother of all that lives and thrives on its surface. Existence was originally made for the benefit of the planets, humans and animals are secondary to this main objective.
The Sun is the essence of life. It is the chief of this solar system. It is the head god that is seen with the naked eyes. The Sun is the giver of life. It is also the giver of warmth and light. There could be no life on earth except for the light and warmth of the sun.
Before a seed can come to life there must be the following forces: light, warmth, earth, and water. When these four forces penetrate the seed and combine with each other inside that very seed then live sprouts. Thus life can be defined as a combination of matter (seed), and the four forces of existence light, warmth, earth and water.
Those forces are not “non-living beings” as we have been taught as elementary school students. These forces are the fount of life. Therefore they must be alive.
A devotee that seeks with humility will learn the wisdom of life. Wisdom reveals the true reality of life to the mind. A humble and sincere liver of life must then give thanks and praises to the forces that giveth him life and delightful experiences.
A true scientist will honour that which by factual verification is directly responsible for his nourishment and his joy.
The planet earth gives rise to humans. The planet earth provides nourishment and joy for its children. The planet earth fills our daily experience with beauty and activity. Upon expiration the planet earth receives our bodies and regenerates our substance.
The Sun is the originator of the solar system. It is the father and the mother of the earth and all the other solar system planets which it holds in its magnetic and loving embrace. The Sun sheds the energy and the solar radiation which keep the planets existing forever in this spatial reality.
The Sun blows the wind that we breath, the Sun makes the waters to come and to go, the Sun shines the light that gives life and joy, the Sun sends the warmth that gives love and all comforts, the Sun is the creator and the sustainer of all life.
If one can express true and simple gratitude for life and love, one must express gratitude to the causes and the sources of life and love – the Sun and its planets. As Akhenaten the King of Khemit chanted to Aten, the Sun saying:
Hymn to the Aten
Your dawning is beautiful in the horizon of heaven,
O living Sun, creator of life!
When you set in the western horizon,
Earth falls into a deathly darkness.
People sleep in chambers, heads covered,
oblivious of the world,
the possessions in their head stolen.
Every lion comes forth from its den,
the serpents sting.
Darkness reigns,
earth is silent,
as their maker rests in heavens.
Earth brightens when you rise in the horizon,
when you shine as Aten of daytime.
As you cast your rays,
the Two Lands are in festivity.
Awake, the people are on their feet.
Cleansed and clothed,
their arms adore your appearance.
The entire land sets out to work,
The beasts browse on their herbs,
trees and plants nourish.
The birds fly from their nests,
their wings greeting you,
as the sheep frisk on their feet,
and the insects utter.
All live when you dawn for them.
Boats travel north and south,
and roads lie open when you dawn.
The fish in the river leap up before you,
your rays are in the midst of the sea.
You are the one who makes the seed in men,
who feeds the son in the mother’s womb,
who soothes him that he may not weep,
a nurse even in the womb.
You give him breath when he is born,
you open his mouth in speech.
When the chick in the egg cries in the shell,
you give him breath to sustain him.
You have perfected him
to break out from the egg,
chirp and run around on his two feet.
Your works are manifold,
though hidden from sight,
O One Aten, beside whom there is no other.
You created the world as you wished,
you alone
all people, herds, flying creatures,
the reckoning of their days.
You make the heavens
to see your creation.
You make the beauty of form,
through yourself, alone.
You are in my heart,
there is no other who knows you.
Save your son, Akhenaten.
You have taught him your ways,
your might.
The world is in your hand,
you are duration,
beyond mere limbs.
Man lives by you,
and eyes look upon your beauty.
You established this world
for your Son,
who came from your body,
the King, the Lord of the Two Lands,
and Nefertiti, chief wife,
living and youthful forever.
See also, Psalm 19 and 104 of the Old Testament.
In other philosophies, one hears how this avatar brought light, or how this saviour showed enlightenment. Yet, we all know that the Sun is the only source of true light and enlightenment literally speaking. Due to the other dimensions and radiations of the energy waves of the Sun, we are also aware that it is the true giver of mystical enlightenment.
When one sees the Sun above, one sees the Almighty. Ye have all heard about the existence of “the God” above the Sun, but know ye verily also that the existence of the God really lives in the Sun. Beauty, bliss, and brilliance are the transcedental qualities attributable to God shinning in the Sun.
African spirituality teaches that we all live in the palace of the Almighty. We all exist in the temple of the Lord. When this is clear to the mind, much reverence is directed to the true One.
When due reverence and love is given to the true father and the mother, true love and grace will descend. When one calls on the One that is true, real and almighty, one ascends from the level of childish ignorance and foolish ideology to the heights of true realistic existence.
When one calls on the true and living Sun, one gets an instant answer.
Blessed is she who calls on the Sun, for she will get all that she seeks.
This is why the Psalmist sang in Psalm 19th (edited):
1 The heavens declare the glory of the Sun;
the firmaments proclaim his handiworks.
2 Day after day they uttereth speech;
night after night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goeth out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world proclaiming that:
In the heavens the Sun has pitched a tent for the light.
The Sun:
5 The Sun is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
it is the Lord rejoicing in its works.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The love of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my Sun, my light, my Rock and my Redeemer.
May we all chant the most sacred name of the Sun, as was given to us by our African ancestors, in Kush, in Khem and in Guinea…Amen-Ra!!! For whosoever loves the Sun and chants the name of Amen-Ra on a daily basis, with love and reverence, shall witness the light in his/her life.
Stay Blessed. Amen-Ra!!!
Nwa-Amadi Omeife Jideofo
The sun is like the bridegroom means the bridegroom is separate from the sun.
The sun supports life on the earth, but is not known to have made life on, say, the moon or on planet mercury. Water supports life, but no life spontaneously springs forth from pure water. Gather stones together and mold clay into forms and shapes: they do speak nor can they move about. So for life to spring forth, a combination of the forces represented by the sun, the earth and water (plus the wind) are required. This immediately means that no single one of these entities bears the life-giving essense – they symbolically carry within themselves only so much. The conclusion then must be that since none of them is the ultimate uncaused cause of life, they do not deserve worship or wonder. HE who made them all, invincible and immortal, is the only One deserving our worship, fear, love and exultation.
Thus says YAHOWAH OF HOSTS, “Once more, in a little while, I am shaking the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land”. “And the moon shall blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, for YHWH of hosts shall reign on Mount Tsiyon … in esteem”.
Shallom
Psychobabble! Your “He” is just in your imagination. It does not exist in reality. Give thanks to the powers of life that you just identified. Earth, wind, fire, water.
Your “He” Yahowah, is just an invention of some half mad prophet who had a bad dream. After he had the bad dream he told you about it. And it became your “he”, your gods.
Why do you whore-ship after that which is just hear-say? Why do my people get lost in waywardness?
Such a guy as Yahowah does not exist. If he does show him to me.
It is just a childish story, like Santa Claus….
Wake up from your illusions. Live life!
Agree he is a term used for a male like she is for female
You may need to climb off the high horse and start asking fundmental questions. It is evident that your confusion arises from the limitation of the senses. true knowledge never visits presumptous folks who are quick to exult in their ignorance.
You say my “HE” is just in my imagination. Your language suggests that you do not appreciate the powers of imagination.
Which half-mad prophet could have invented One so infinite in power? Then such a “half-mad” prophet deserves my attention more than you. For you have not dissembled my reasoning about the objects of your worship (you are really the whore – getting in bed with FOUR forces. And they seem to have “fucked” your mind real good.
Nothing reveals your ignorance better than your perception of santa claus as “childish story”. What! Such a diabolical evil deception as santa’s chrismas childish?You obviously do not understand how spiritual worship is. If billions of people spend their time, funds, energy, emotion and being in the service of x-mass and satan (santa rearranged) claws(word play), and you think its child’s play, i dare say you are well and proper decieved and deluded.
You r one who needs rescucitation from a comatose state.
I pray that the light of Yahuwah’s love in Yahushua will shine into the darkness you call light.
Sogo
You are confused and frightened by your whore-ship of gods, demons, angels, satans, yahowahs and all that stupidness.
Those things are fallacies arising from delusionary minds. They are tools used by your preachers, imams, and pastors to bilk you off your hard earned money.
Where is your yahowa? Where is your yehoshua? Where are those your Greek Gods? Do you not know that these are all Romano-Greek inventions? Show them to me. Bring them gods, and goons to speak with me, or show me where they live so we can have them speak for themselves.
You have been conned into working as a soul seeker for a fraudulent philosophy. I am sorry for you and your little born-again foolishness.
Free your mind. Know yourself. Know, don’t believe.
Don’t lean on your misunderstanding.
Jahdey
It is said that you don’t know where you are going if you cannot tell where you’ve been.
Can any of these forces tell you the things that are coming to pass?
Do you Jahdey believe in a Creator?
Because if you truly understood these forces to which you so much desire to pay obeisance, it would become clear that none of them wrote the information contained within the genes of living organic beings, and that all they are meant to bring awareness to mortal man of the invincible attributes of the Creator, and give understanding of His eternal power and unimaginably great might.
So you are without excuse o Jahdey and all your fellow whores, who “… because, although they knew Elohim, they did not esteem HIM as ELOHIM, nor give thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened; claiming to be wise, they became fools, and changed the esteem of the incorruptible YAH ELOHIM into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds and four-footed beasts and reptiles…”, and the sun, the moon, the stars…
Aww shuck with all that mumbo jumbo, magickal chants of witchcraft. Away with your delusions, your yahowahs, your demons, your satanas, and your yehosuwas. They are figments of your confused imaginations.
Your philosophy is a fake conception that was foisted on you by pedophile priests, pastors, rabbis, and imams. They fucked with your young mind just like they fucked with your young body. Now they have left you a jabbering, babbling pathetic attention junky, spreading the lies of a fake philosophy.
Away with your foolishness soul-seeker. Away with your yahowahs and satanas! Free up your mind from fear.
Hehehe….
Hey strawman Jahdey
Keep sowing to the wind … you’ll surely inherit a whirlwind.
Poor guy…
Isogo
I am the whirlwind and the storm! I will blow you and your fake gods away, anytime!
Jahdey
Wonder if you can answer one little question strawman,
why is there so much evil in the world, why does your mama the earth drink up so much innocent blood and what’s your lord gonna do about it all?
ps. I know its hard but try not to rant and do not darken counsel with words without sense.
Pathetic fool,
Evil, like foolishness comes from want of wisdom, and dies an unlamented death. Tell me something:
Is the blood made of iron? Is the iron made from earth?
Have you not heard before, from earth back to earth?
The ancient told us, that evil does not spring out of the earth but out of the wicked conception of small minded men like you, those always hunting for delusional yahowahs and non-existent satananas
Soul seeker, recognize that which is before you, then the mystic beyond you will be become manifest.
Jahdey
Think!
Iron is not blood, just one of many other constituents. The earth (erets) is much more than just iron. Just as a junk-yard full of scrap will not suddenly bring forth a workable locomotive without an intelligent and skilled builder. likewise the manufacture of blood and other human parts will not proceed if the data (written as genetic coding) is absent.
So although the components are earthly, the information and skill are evidently and incontrovertibly “other-worldly”. If something exists outside your god, than it is greater than you and your idol of whore-ship.
In the last day the sun and the earth and other forces for whom you spend yourself shall witness against you before the One who made them, the One who calls and they all stand up, whose Face causes they all to flee. Your religion is really self-centred but pretends externalisation as the earth and sun. Well. there are many much greater than you. And one continues to make an air-head of you – big head, highly resonant to light percussion!!
My Elohim encompasses all, for all exists according to HIS consel. HE is omnipotent, and the whole universe, seen and unseen, are like a grain of sand with Him.
If you refuse to listen to HIM whose thunderous voice echoes today in HIS creation and whose witness is preserved for sentient man in the pure Hebrew Scriptures and nature, then even the lowly dogs will testify against you in the day that HE judges all the hosts of shamayim and the eretz, for YAH supplies all our needs in the days that we tread upon the earth.
YAHUSHUA ha Mashiah is the way of rescue for those who believe, One that leads to the house of esteem and splendor.
Shalom

jahrateng Skabelli says : This is having your cake and eating it. You cannot say the exact same thing like what say Jahdey and indeed CLASSICAL AFRIKAN spiritual knowledge, then claim you are telling us about God! Before ignorance & confusion from powerseekers/parasites (soul seekers as Jahdey refers to them), we Afrikans are HUMANISTS:
a) We are of the DIVINE ESSENCE. This we know. It is SPIRITUAL & SCIENTIFIC TRUTH. It is your abiding loss to continue imagining otherwise with your fangled up slave-doctrinal nonsense
b)We Africans are responsible for our deeds (and misdeeds)-refer to 42 Admonitions of OUR GODESS MAAT-which you puny-minded jokers/plagiarizers shrunk to the “ten commandments” and made it look like a god in the sky is telling you not to kill.
To which you went ahead and killed and genocided the caananites. So that you could piously pray that its your god-in-the sky who made you do it!
c) We say fire, earth, water, wind. These are everywhere in one form or the other in the universe. We are the CONCIOUSSNESS of it. Tell me anything that you can do or know or say without conciousness-including your colonial babble.EXACTLY NOTHING!
Now that is the ESSENCE OF WHO WE ARE!!
Olesugo says:
If you refuse to listen to HIM whose thunderous voice echoes today in HIS creation and whose witness is preserved for sentient man in the pure Hebrew Scriptures and nature,
jahrateng skabelli says: Precisely! This is the bosh we Africans no longer subscribe to. Wild, little tribal desert deities’ threats. WE AFRIKANS!! Your arrogace is unbelievable.
We are Afrikans on a mission. The chains are broken and believe me, you are due for rude shocks. That of the sight of a FREE AFRIKA.
IN ONE BLACK GOD. Not hebrew/arabic/roman/greek/anglo-saxon et al.
Olesugun says:

Jahrateng skabelli says: This is just hot air. Good poetry though. Brothers we should know but not believe nonsense.
Only birds have their wings.
