From October 24 to November 2, 2022, I was the guest of Profoessor Anita Diop and the African Roots and Heritage Foundation (ARHF). I was invited to present my paper, New Afrikan Consciousness vs. New Afrikan Thought: Mysticism in the Age of Artificial Intelligence at the THE NEW AFRIKAN THOUGHT CONFERENCE in Yaounde, Cameroon, hosted by the INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH AND DOCUMENTATION CENTER ON AFRICAN TRADITIONS AND LANGUAGES (CERDOTOLA). You can watch all the videos of the Conference here.
After the Conference, ARHF arranged for me to see the city of Yaounde as well as visit the Museum of the Forest People. On October 31, Professor Diop and I joined Professor Dolisane Ebosse Nyambe Cecile, Director of the Department of African Languages and Civilizations at Yaounde 1 University for an amazing lecture with her students. Before departing, I was able to meet with Gwedji Doris Wainwel, Director of Services in the Ministry of External Relations of the government of Cameroon. Here is my report of the conference.
NEW AFRICAN THOUGHT CONFERENCE
When I saw the conference Concept Note, I wanted to attend. I reached out to Professor Diop and she asked me to submit a paper abstract which, to my surprise, was accepted. I was woried, however, that my topic, New Afrikan mysticism and a proposal to develop a New African institute devoted to teaching and training “inner engineering” technologies that will enable students to talk to plants and animals, to remote view what’s happening on the other side of the planet or, indeed, on other planets, to teach methods of communicating with the supreme intelligence both insided and outside the body . . . . I thought all this might be just too fantastic. Part of my research involved reviewing the era of psychic discoveries and extra sensory perception research in the United States and Russia which was so controversial, even ridiculed, that it was conducted in secret. Would my presentation be well received?
All my doubs and reservations, however, were quickly layed to rest on the opening day of the conference when Molefi K Asante emphasized the importance of chronology - that it is absolutely necessary to have a clear understanding of the origin of things, particularly the origin of our pre-Kemetic societies, in order to properly understand history. In his own words, he said,
“It is important to understand, the main point that has led us to this juncture, on the road to intellectual clarity. One must begin all discourse with clarity on chronology, because without knowing time - that is a question of knowing when something happened or is supposed to happen - one can never have an appreciation of context. . . . “
I have always been emphasizing this and have spent much time teaching about the pre-Kemetic culture and philosophies, especially of the Balanta people, a combination of Bantu and Nilotic people. A good section of my paper gave specific examples of the evidence of pre-Kemetic and Kemetic mysticism.

Professor Gregoire Biyogo, President of the International Committee of African Scientists and Experts (CISEA)
That night, however, I was blown away when Professor Biyogo, President of the International Committee of African Scientists and Experts (CISEA) discussed “Asymmetrical Mirror Theory and the Instantaneous Teleportation of Objects and Bodies from the Mortal to the Immortal Realms in the Displacement Mode of Fighters of the Ekang Tradition” and the implication for Africa.
Watch Professor Biyogo’s presentation on Asymmetrical Mirror Theory and the Instantaneous Teleportation of Objects and Bodies from the Mortal to the Immortal Realms in the Displacement Mode of Fighters of the Ekang Tradition
Here are my notes that I took during the presentation:
“Instantaneous teleportation of objects. . . . Hypothesis: New Physics - Tradition has been unable to unravel . . . . Africa has its own New Physics seen through the Sacred Books. . . . Nfeng, Biti ethnic groups, Ekang > These books > asymmetry and deportation> instantaneious deportation of bodies mortal vs. imortal.
Displacement Mode of Fighters. Fighters can move or teleport to different worlds:
mortal > immortal
immortal > mortal
We can’t speak in singular form anymore…. must talk about universe and objects in plural form; compare Egypt with Ekang.
Theological argument is the genuine evidence > sovereign nature.
Hypothesis #2: philological; Hypothesis #3: Theory of Asymmetic Deportation; perpetual > continuous
PRACTICAL PHASE: General theory of wars/cpnflicts + logos/science; cutting edge weapons can destroy in blinking of an eye; Drones > abosrbs all forms of information back to lab > the lab reconstructs reality then strikes;
GENERAL THEORY OF MIRRORS: go beyond light reflection theories; Asymmetric Mirror Theory - ability of anticipating; can strike targets before the targets reach a certain threshold.
SOVEREIGNTY: Catalytic evidence > goes beyond identity principle; Theory of co-belonging; Black Afrika + Kemet; uses Ekang language.
Mdu Ntr > Meju Nter: same in the Ekang language; theory of continuum.
Biyogo: “You cannot be in connection with divinity without an asymmetric moment under the apell of Atum”
Thus ends my notes, which do little to explain what Professor Biyogo was explaining. To begin to understand this, one must turn to Ekang Mythology of the Mvet epics. Accordingly,
“The Beti-Pahuin or Fang-Beti peoples are a Central African group of Bantu speakers with mutually intelligible languages, a common culture, and shared ethnic origin. They historically spanned an area from the Republic of the Congo in the south through Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Cameroon in the north. . . . . Traditional myths and legends were sung with the accompaniment of a stringed instrument called the Mvet. Bards would be initiated over a long period of study and ritual by a master that taught them the lore of the people. . . . The legendary first Mvet player was a man named Oyono Ada Ngone. . . . Oyono was tasked with singing the tales of the elder days to inspire hope and courage in the hearts of the Beti-Pahuin people as they marched into their new homeland and battled enemies. He would sing to them about the seemingly endless clashes between the immortal Ekang warriors in the southern land of Engong against the wily mortal sorcerers of Oku in the North.
The central conflict of the “Mvet Ekang” cycle between the men of the Yendzok tribe in Engong (better known as the Ekang for their progenitor) and Oku is over the jealously guarded secret of immortality which the Ekang are able to exploit, making them the most powerful tribe in the world. The Ekang are giants who call themselves the Iron Men. The tribes of Oku are highly diverse but share the aim of wrestling control of immortality from Engong through sorcery, trickery, and champions capable of challenging the immortals.
The Beti-Pahuin epics take place in a primordial world very different from the Africa we know now. The world of Mvett is composed of four main geographic areas:
Nkourou Megnoung Eko Mbegne: This is the region located in the far north of the Mvett world. It’s known as the far foggy drum country.
Etone Abandzic Mekok Engone: This is the eastern region. This is where life and its great mysteries were born, as well as human beings. This region is where Oyono Ada Ngone heard the voice of Eyo and that he had the supreme revelation. This region is also very rich in rivers, mountains, and gigantic trees.
Edoune Nzok Amvene Obame: This is a region located to the west. It is a territory rich in powerful men, but apparently quieter than others because many of Engong's warriors are the nephews of men in this region. It’s named “Rotting elephant carcass” as the implication is it’s so prosperous an elephant can live to a ripe old age.
Engong Nzok Mebeghe Me Mba: Called Engong for short, it’s located in the far south of the region, this realm is occupied by the immortals who created their country there. It is inhabited by the descendants of Patriarch Ekang Nna. The quintessential bellicose people, the men of Engong are valiant warriors who are experts in swordsmanship and wizardry. It is this unparalleled mastery of the occult arts that enables the men of Engong to be freed from death.”
Professor Ebenezer Njoh Mouelle, Founder of the Academy of Cameroonian Philosophy
After Professor Biyogo’s presentation, Professor Ebenezer Njoh Mouelle spoke. I made the following notes,
“Why keep it a secret? RE: the knowledge. > China as an example; need for power of governance to be centralized; DEMOCRATIZE THE NEW AFRIKAN MYSTIC.”

After such an opening night presentation, I was ready for the rest of the conference and I resolved to sit and soak up as much information as I could from each session. Here is the program in English.
Unoma Giese: “Willing and Abel: Overcomming the Miseducation of Africa”
My Notes: “DuBois Talented Tenth > “Tainted Tenth”: the Tainted Tenth needs to be punished.
? Systemic Solution? if women are raised through the same system, are they less susceptible to becoming Tainted Tenth?
Emmanuel Moselly Makasso: “A Mother Tongue Strategy in Creating and Disseminating Knowledge: A New Orientation in the Role of the African University”
My Notes: “Qualified workforce; Emphasizing importance of lineage genealogy knowledge and why it should be taught in education curriculum; no “cousins, aunts, uncles. . . .” only brothers, sisters, mother, fathers, etc.; Western concept of family contributes to incest and sexual abuse. . . .My thought > IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING NATIVE LANGUAGE FROM THE TRANSGENERATIONAL EPIGENETIC EFFECT perspective encoding genetic memory.
Isis Ngo Binam Bikoi: “The New Psychological Thought Africa: Historical Achievements, Specificity and Perspectives”
My Notes: “Abscence of Afrikan Psychological thought, behaviors, complexes; theories are always coming from the west; Question: As a psychologist, is there an interest in Neurological sciences?; what about specific Afrikan “familiarty heuristics”?; witchdoctor as psychologist; speaking is a form of relief; My Thought: language issue may be solved through instantaneous transmission i.e. telepathy; experiments were senders and receivers don’t speak the same language yet were able to follow telepathic commands. . . .
SIPHIWE BALEKA PRESENTATION:
NEW AFRIKAN CONSCIOUSNESS VS. NEW AFRICAN THOUGHT: MYSTICISM IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
After my presentation, I was asked by Professor Dolissane Cecile, “What is the priority?” to which I responded, “If you don’t have divine consciousness you won’t properly manage the material world/environment. Thus, we need to democratize initiation and training and concentrate on producing New Afrikan Mystics.”
Mathias-Eric Owona-Nguini: “Introductory and projective archeology of the political conceptuality of KMT: vestigal elements, African resonances, universal contemporary significance”
My Notes: “Why start with Biblical Table of Nations???? Djety = Prime Minister; Tatu = Throne>state; Djed = pillar; Sassa = Senate; Council of Elders . . . . AFRICA HAS ITS OWN POLITICAL CONCEPT; . . . saving the “state”; concept of the “messiah” or “savior”; “by speaking you give to others; by dictatig, you are leading . . . “ My Thought: We need a PAN-AFRIKA/NEW AFRIKAN CIVIL SERVICE EXAM for a state organized according to divine archetype
After the conference, Professor Owona-Nguini posted the following:
“DIVISIONISM, PANAFRICANISM'S CHILDHOOD STADIUM. Pan-Africanism Is The Indispensable Horizon Of African Emancipation. This is why, by the way, that this movement is strongly mocked and denigrated by the Contemptors and Detractors of Pan-African Dignity and Sovereignty. These Enemies Who Satisfy The Subalternization Of Africa Could Not Accept The Consolidation And Expansion Of A Movement That Aimed At Expanding The African Civilization Geo-Sphere. Many Africans Who Seek Consistent Autonomy From Their Civilization Are Yet Divided On Institutional Organizational And Ideological Formulas To Ensure This Dynamic Of Franchisse is lying. This state of affairs questions the strategic maturity of these Africans. Indeed, Instead of working on consensus frameworks that can strengthen the structure of Pan-Africanism, Africans are complicit in war and guerrilla between currents and factions (Afrocentricite vs Afro-Radicalism; Afrocen Tricite Against Afro-Futurism, etc.) Certain Ultra-Populist Segments Of Afrocentricite That Confine To Fascism Stigmatize Afro-Radicalism By Accusing It (Wrongly) Of Pouring Into Eurocentrism. The Progressive And Rationalist Segments Of Afro-Radicalism Attempt To Reduce Afrocentricite To Its Ultra-Populist Replacements. Expressing Their Reservation For Afro-Futurism. All these factional or factual fights have the effect of slowing down the systematic and strategic maturation of the Pan-African movement. Gold The Crucial Issue Is To Build A Colorful Bouquet But Bound By The Crown That Binds The Petals And Composes Each Of The Flowers. This means that the construction of a consensus is fundamental to ensure the strength of the foundations and the efficiency of the equipment as well as the civility of behaviors or the usefulness of developments. In the work of building a consensus, each current is called for adjustments and concessions by looking for points of convergence on institutions, modes of production and cultural frameworks. It's Not Byzantinism Manoeuvers That We Can Revive The Pan-Africanist Movement. . . .
AS LONG AS AFRICA AS A GEO-CIVILIZATIONAL BLOC HAS NOT RECOVERED ALL ITS FREE SOVEREIGN FREEDOM, NO UTOPIA CAN VALIDLY OR LEGITIMATE PANAFRICANISM. . .
RECONSOLIDATION OF PANAFRICANISM REQUIRES INTELLIGENT TOLERANCE FOR INTEGATING DIFFERENT AFRICAN CURRENTS OF THOUGHTS AND CURRENTS OF AFRICAN THOUGHTS. PROVIDED THAT THESE CURRENTS ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING BASIC PRINCIPLES: UNIFICATION (1), INTERPENETRATION (2), INTEGRATION (3), EMANCIPATION (4), CO-CIVILIZATION (5), HARMONIZATION (6), SOLIDARIZATION (6), MUTUALIZATION (7) , CO-CONSTRUCTION (7) CO-CONSOLIDATION (8) CO-PRODUCTION (9), CO-COMMUNAUTARIZATION (10). IT IS THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE SHIFT OF THIS COMBINATION THAT PANAFRICANISM WILL BE REVIGORATED BY TRANSCENDING FACTIONAL DYNAMICS. . . .
THOUGHT DOES NOT EXCLUDE MYTHICAL, MYSTICAL, OR METAPHYSICAL THINKING. IT IS NOT LIMITED TO EPISTEMIC THINKING, LOGICAL THINKING, SCIENTIFIC THINKING!!! WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFRICAN THINKING, THIS INCLUDES ALL THESE MAGIC FORMS!!!
THERE IS NO WAY TO AFRICA OUTSIDE THE GREAT CITADEL OF PANAFRICANISM. AFRICAN RENAISNATION WILL NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT A RELATIVE AND SOLID PANAFRICAN STRATEGY TOWARDS THE MULTIPLE POWER OF A UNITED AFRICA.

5- A LARGE CONTINENTAL STRATEGIC AREA.
The Definition And Materialization Of An African Renaissance Requires The Establishment Of A Large Pan-African Military-Security Citadel (Integrated Continental Staff, Continental Commands, Regional Brigades; Continenta Mechanism Intelligence and Prospective; Pan-African Diplomatic Council) . . . .
THE GREAT LEOPARD, BAPTIST OF IOUNOU LA NOVELLE, THE RISEN CITY OF THE SUN, WILL INSTITUTE A DJADJAT OF LIGHTS KNOWN AS THE COUNCIL OF LIGHTS. When KAkA Aby Comes, Kama Will Start Coming Out Of The Darkness Because This Priest-Prophet-Preceptor-Prince Will Bring Him The Sacred Civilization Fire. Indeed, It Is A Wise Sesh And A Wise Saah To penetrate By The Enlightened Teachers Of DHwty, The Archpriest Of Atara-Nti-Si. kAkA Aby Mendjura Kar-Er-Ber Is Of Exceptional Moral, Cultural And Intellectual Height Because He Is A Khery Sesheta/Nkore Sok/Nkore Bisakara Impregnated With Hermetic And Systematic Knowledge Of All Mysteries. This Nsang Bekalara / Sesh Mu Kaartou Knows The Complexity And Subtlety Of Science And Arts Of Government And Power. He knows that the Mountain of Lions will be the site of Kama's rebound. That's Why, When Ra Will Give Him The Keys To The Great House Which Is Like A Throne Or A Crown, The Great Lropard Will Showcase His High Knowledge Of The Hermetic Science Of Government Laws. He Knows From Mendju-Htr/Men-N'Thot And Nekhen-Nu-Ouni The Wealth Of Kama's Politico-Pastoral Directory Is Based On The Ankh-Oudja-Seneb Combination. It is expected that Kaka Aby will put in place a Djadjat Nu Mafu, a Great Council of Light. It Is A Instance Of Wise That Will Be In Charge Of Accompanying The Great Leopard In The Revigoration Of A Solar Government Based On The Fine Knowledge Of The Astronomical Conditions Of Political Regulation. She Is In Charge Of Accompanying The Sage Mage Became Great Servant Of God And Solar Institutions Of The State Rehabilitate And Revisit Kama, The Great House Reincarnated In The Immense Wall Dressee Around The Central Domain Of Ousire / Awsar / A Top. This Djadjat Will Deliberate Under The Leadership Of The Great Leopard To Choose The Options Of Power Held As Axial And Central Government Directions. It Will Be Composed Of Real And Great Sages Helping To Rebuild The Institutional And Constitutional Structures Of Kama By Incorporating It As A State Concert Council. Said Djadjat Will Bring Sages From All Cardinal Points That Connects The Plural Space Of All Countries In A Circle Of Light. Thus kAkA Aby Will Be The Djadjat/Duga/Nduka/Muduka Supreme Guiding These Eminent Magistrates-Pontifs To Enlighten And Reeclzir The Path Of The Government Of The Lion Mountain Country By Examining Its Itineraries, Its Navigation Approach As Much Only His Driving And Manoeuvring Tools. This Model Will Become An Example Of The Synarchic/Kun-Aurkaic/Kunasukic/Kuna-Lusukeic Restructuring Of Political Systems And Regimes Across The Greater Kama Land. So, We'll See Kama Reach A Sublime Level Of Pastoral And Pontifical Guidance Based On A High Bill Concilial Institutionality And Constitutionality. If the Callipolis of the World will be back, a real U-Bu Nefer. . .

Jean Felix Yekoka: “Construction of living together for the Africa of tomorrow based on a precolonial model? The Kongo case”
My Notes: “We have a trust problem. How to overcome? (My answer: Mystic consciousness); pre-colonial Kongo - isakululu - how to make realtionships peaceful. . . . ; Lemba - magical/religious; myth of origins > myth of Nguno, the woman who gave birth to 4 boyys/4 distinct states. . . . My thought: we need a New Afrikan Civil Service Exam to certify New Afrikan Diplomats and Government Ministers based on all these Afrikan sovereign and statecraft models. Warning: We must be careful of prejudicing vertical models of society and government such as “kingship” and “royalty” since it presupposes that some are more important/privileged than others. Africa has plenty of horizontal societies that do not concentrate power and authority into “royalty” which has/can be abused. . . . What Afrikan models are there for merit/capacity based systems???
Andre Mboule: “Re-appropriating Ubuntu Leadership Style”
My notes: “Sessions are still focused on brainstorming; looking for models to implement “Ubuntu” - why are models effective or ineffective?; Leaders > individuals and his/her team > hot to make efficient?; LEADERSHIP = “SHIP” of “LEADERS”; - “If you think effective leadership is expensive, try bad leadership. . . .’; leadership must produce effective results.
Lewis Ricardo-Gordon: “African Philosophy and the Future of Humankind and its Institutions”
My Notes: “(FYI- Lewis Gordon was one of my professors at Yale) Hekau - transformed + technology…. Afrikan philosophy is overwhelmingly relational > obligations greater than self; “disciplinary decadence”; willingness to go beyond philosophy; re-thinking power; decoupling nation state - becoming Ancestors makes sense for New Afrikans; creative rethinking of relations of power. . . . where speech is heard by an audience. . . . political nihilism of now . . . . publicity of power = democracy now. . . . African philosophy has task of contemplating and producing true Afrikan future; nation states produce “illegal” people. . . . feasibility of “Great Council”; existential committment - not what can be done but what must be done. . . . “cultivated irrelevance of those who ‘imperil us’ . . . .
Dennis Galvan: “Pragmatism, social engineering and institutional innovation: Problems and Prospects for New African Thought”
My Notes: “rethinking institutions…. 1. Problems of Institutions; 2. Creative Syncretism as anti-dualist; Analyzing development institutions. . . . institutions of belonging - i.e. nation states; Step 1: response to exogenous institutions of the colonizers impositions of institutional norms - “institutional monocroping”;; recommended reading: James Scott on state simplification; complexity economics and applied spirituality; structures of economy, culture, history; good at explaining structures and order but not institutional change; - “they can’t explain their own change”; Syncretism > from religious anthropology an account of change; Deliberation > creating new path out of memory. . . . New Solution which is not merely a combination of memories. . . . example: Parkour - temporary unauthorized use of public space > produces new forms of ownership and relations of power; institution of citizenship; micro-actions of every day activity we see emergence of new institutional forms > alternate modernity;
Charles Binam Bikoi: “What New Thought for what good governance of societies and science in a new Africa?”
My Notes: Entropy > closed systems > weakness; loses internal ability to re-invent itself. . . . External influences dominate; Limits of adaptations > knowledge and power becomes crystalized; Dynamism > Thought; New Afrikan Thought > go beyond Good Governance; crticism as crime. . . . “Afrika is Europe Retarded!”; “Democracy by Force1”; Doctrine > internally focused; again, insignificance of those government officials who imperil us . . . .; NAT = example of human behavior.
Tadewos Belete: Presentation during the evening discussion
My Notes: “None of the hotels in Ethiopia were managed by Africans. . . . we must design, build and operate our property; Investment is ours, management is usually outsourced; his company Kuriftu Resorts - 3,000 Ethiopian employees, 80% women; builders are hired to work/service the property after construction is completed; Goal: African-branded property (hotel chain) to represent all Africa; TOURISM: each month 1 country brought to Addis Ababa (diplomatic capital and gateway to Africa) to showcase that countries chefs, music and musicians, intercontinental library; waterpark - provide opportunity to entertain family and kids; building the biggest adventure park in Africa.
Didier Ngalebaye: “New African Thought and Development: Construction, distribution and endo-exogenous evaluation of knowledge in Africa”
My Notes: “Epistemologic- combines orality with writing; Importance of literature review so I can identify what has been done - strengths, weaknesses and develop the weaknesses; “Africanness” must be endogenous and exogenous; studies/conference proceedings to go to AU; Cognitive knowledge - history not properly documented; importance of NAT pedagogy and disseminating NAT conference results; how to assess on the basis of criteria, results after 1 year . . . . .; NAT > Endogeneous references - import only what we can’t produce locally….
Dr. Serge Alain Godong: “Can Africa challenge the agency theory? Conformisms and originalities in the sub-Saharan trajectories of capitalism.”
My Notes: “Not even 3% of what is in the room is produced in Africa. . . . Management is to organize the relationship between humans and production factors. . . . Africa > less than 3% international trade. . . . what mechanisms to put in place? My Thought: “Dr. George Washington Carver as an example of source of new ideas for local production”. . . . Systems that generate productivity - what happened to the $5 billion in Cameroon???? What did it produce??? why do we struggle with this???
Dr. Reynaldo Anderson: “Afrofuturism 2.0, African Futurism, Hauntology and the Rise of Dark Speculative Futurity”
My Notes: “200 year present: Ancestor (100 years) < You > (100 years) offspring; The 2nd Race for Theory; Pat Buchanan 1992: Culture War - white nationalists conclude its about philosophy; Afrofuturism - Marc Dery, CT Keto - Africa Center perspective of world history and future. . . . ; Create history in the actions of present; My Thought: “Bob Marley said the revolution will be telpathized”; How will Astro-blackness and Global Black Identity exercise political power vis-a-vis/against the state - i.e. the U.S., China? . . . Emergence of a paradigm involves persuasion, aesthetics, + …… Assault on imagination; It takes a system to oppose a system. . . . (How about asymmetrical warfare?); To speak is not a solution; let us act . . .
LISTEN TO DR. ANDERSON’S PRESENTATION
Wullson Mvomo Ela: “The Reinvention of the Power Assertion Strategy in the 21st Century: What Responses from Africa to the Rest of the World?”
My Notes: “Crisis of Audacity!; betrayal of academicians and clerics - “several parrots”; Space and Time structure identity; domination of “spirits” is the actual problem as mush as military, economic, and technical dominance; China - “land of the rising sun”; America - “city on the hill/Blessed nation/American Dream” - Africa ????? - WE NEED TO REBRAND. . . .

My Notes: “ New African Thought > impossible without prospect of power; renewal must be “conquest”; Declare will to emerge is declaration of war under white supremecy. . . .; proposal to apply New Afrikan strategic thoughts; GREAT STRATEGY OF POWER; STRATEGY OF FUTURE for the change to come; “PROSPECTIVE STRATEGY” - Who are we as an entity???? - Audacity to think of the impossible - United States of Africa. . . . 2025: African Population increases to 2 billion - only region of growing population; specific strategy of Internal consolidation . . . .; issue of inferiority > 1,500 years of inferiority; Africa is diversified entitties; We have to construct an empire of mono-nationals. . . . Major strategy should resolve to roll-back the obstacles; UoA > Federal state; Reform or Revolution? - NO CONCESSIONS ON MAJOR STRATEGY; - What is federal vs. Con-federal? -AFRICAN IMPERIUM is not Domination through exploitation, it is not colonial; IMPERIUM is “I Am the only Master in my Homeland”. . . . ; turn our back on colonial epistemology. . . . My thouhgt: “Military modernization based on what principles???? Arms or remote viewing?”
Cheikh Tidane Gadio: “Paroxysm of Crises in Africa: the advent of the United States of Africa becomes a question of survival for the continent”
My Notes: “Africa has one problem: the problem of leadership; lack of will > they know but don’t take actions. . . . when you don’t speak truth, you add more ills to the world; Rwanda genocide was Africa touching the bottom of our history. . . . We still have Congo, Liberia, we keep going from bad to worse, the floor keeps dropping; Mali has 7 borders - why do they not come together as one? - Cheikh Anta Diop: “I don’t need your approval to validate my theory”; We need an African Army, Currency, Bank and Citizenship; Balkanization of Africa; Diop denounced the creation of ECOWAS - we are copying models that are not ours; Diop prophesied tat 30-50 years we will see this truth . . . . ECOWAS is in crisis. . . . Nyere before death said Nkrumah was right!!!! He apologized…. ECOWAS can’t move forward- why not a Federated state for West Africa? - An Islamic Caliphate by 2025 is some people’s agenda. . . . Africa without the Diaspora and vice-versa will not go far. . . . “Mission of Responsibility”.
CONCLUSION:
My Notes:
Dr. Patrice Passy: Africa - 30 years- population doubles; Africa becomes the 2nd biggest demographic power in the world; need strategy for demographic dividends; build economy for dividends for all; weak military > weak organization; moving from observations to local solutions: QUESTION OF STRATEGIC VISION WAS MOSTLY SIDELINED; Demographic revolution; Identityt revolution; building power and how to protect it; CREATIVITY IS AN ACT OF POWER.
Cheikh Tidane Gadio: Final reflection - conference confirmed my ideas and convictions; the west has lost the monopoly on the future of modernity; Nkrumah: Unite or Die; we are the visionaires and prophets; avoid the trap of division; when a paradigm leads us to an impass, have the courage to admit it . . . .
Theophile Obenga: Premise of the Constitution of a Federal State; delighted by the meeting; not easy to hold such an event; we are human “phenomenon” not animals, tree, clay, . . . born creators; avoiding nakedness is a human phenomenon - why?; In ancient Africa wrongdoers were punished but not imprisoned. No one was deprived of freedom - the human has a spiritual anatomy, it is sacrilege to imprison “divine” entities like the ka and sah . . .; you are either colonized, slave or partner - you are not SOVEREIGN based on “development paradigm”. . . If we don’t start with a federal state we will be like Latin America; - referencing American Constitutional Congress; we will start - it won’t be perfect but we must start with our own logic; FEDERAL STATE OF AFRICA IS THE SOLUTION; Needed: Yaounde Declaration and Action Plan
My Conclusion: The Problem of Africa is Leadership. The Problem of Leadership is lack of Mystic Consciousness. We need a curriculum that produces Mystic Consciousness that can be measured and certified to produce New Afrikan Government Officials; We need standards for Leadership that include initiations and inner engineering capacities. Question: does security precede development? Which way security? Traditional military or mystic??? - Not enough to have structures, we must have transformative capacity and we need power that can see into the future. . . . From Omotunde - Humans we have; intelligence we have; Consciousness we need. THERE MUST BE A PRODUCTION SYSTEM THAT IS DIFFERENT. . . . There is also a problem of transmission of pedagogy of New Afrikan Thought.
POST CONFERENCE THOUGHTS
The New Afrikan Thought Conference was impressive. It was by far one of the most simulating group thought experiences I have ever had. The conference facilites were amazing and included real time translation via headsets. The level of discussion was extremely high and there was an extraordinary, palpable spirit that governed the conference throughout the four days. It was an honor to be included amonst so many of the continent’s best thinkers, strategists and visionairies and I was proud that I could make a contribution. Everyone seemed to be on the “same page” and there wasn’t too much arguement though there was plenty of alternative perspectives presented. The patience exhibited by everyone to give speakers a full hearing was a sign of great maturity. In my opinion, Yaounde Cameroon has become the intellectual center of Afrika, due in no small part to the necessity of solving the various problems created by the incredible diversity of peoples and languages in Cameroon. The challenge, of course, is developing the pedagogy to spread the New Afrikan Thought the will treat existing institutions that “imperil us” as irrelevant while building a practical power informed by African sovereign models both ancient and yet imagined. I am hoping that my call for an Institute of New Afrikan Mysticism and Inner Engineering Techonology will be taken up and manifested. My job now is to help spread the New Afrikan Thought to the Afrikan Diaspora - hence this report.
