Fate has brought you to the right place! Decisions are so powerful that they can change one’s destiny, which is why we created this space. Thus, to help our people make the right decisions. We are living in uncertain times and as humans, we can either choose to live in harmony or chaos. Technology is moving us at supersonic speeds into uncharted territory where we have to make decisions that may make or mar us. One thing we as a people have failed to do is unite in order to take control of our destiny towards total freedom. We can argue for as long as we like but it is better to strategize how we can salvage the situation. Without further ado, we would proceed with the topic of discussion today which is on African Spirituality.

We believe this is a major area in which we can begin to work on in order to achieve the said goal. This is a phenomenon which you would agree cannot be addressed in one piece, as our achievement throughout the ages speaks volumes. These milestones were achieved at a time when our ancestors had thorough knowledge of self which connected them to the creator. With that form of energy, anything is possible. Thus, our aim is to further unite our people restoring the glory days.

How is it that gods have been reduced to mere mortals? I believe that a disconnect from the source caused this, the source is our creator. Furthermore, we abandoned our culture to worship other gods. In order for us to restore our image and take our place as gods and rulers of this dimension, we have to connect on a higher realm. Presently, our spirituality is appalling and this has affected us in so many ways, as evidenced in our environment, governance, and relationship with one another. The manner in which we practice our religion determines the level of our spirituality. Now, not all religious doctrines can develop our spirituality, in fact, some can even destroy it. Therefore, an ideal religion should be one that teaches altruism in order to attain peace of the mind, body, and soul. So where are we today, what exactly are we doing and how are we keeping our spirits up through these times.

Black people have always developed a deep personal definition of God and their spiritual identity. Which is why we embraced foreign religion even at the expense of our own traditional culture and religion. This openness to connect with our source, which is why all over the world the negro associates with various religions such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and also his/her native religion. We believe that of the estimated 2.2 billion Christians and 1.8 billion Muslims in the world, African Christians and Muslims constitute a huge portion of both religions.

So much can be discussed on our religiosity. However, religion alone does not guarantee spirituality. Thus your religion is only a medium as most religions all agree they have never seen God. So we cannot claim religious superiority over any religion. We can only learn from various religions on methods to improve our spirituality at best or simply apply our religious teachings effectively. Online you will find more information about spirituality. However, we would use this medium to discuss in more detail.

It comes as no surprise that we are more spiritual as the evidence is clear in our rich culture which includes food, language, deities, festivals etc. As you will find in areas black people have lived in, all over the world, which covers a whole lot of land mass as seen in Australia, Africa, America etc Our spirituality connects us to mother nature where we succour for our needs. We would be discussing how to develop more as spiritual beings on our next article so please subscribe as we hope to go in depth on this topic. We would love to hear your thoughts on this, please comment and share this with your loved ones as you wouldn’t want them to miss out on this.
