There are two different types of questions: what we call an honest question, and the opposite of that, which is a dishonest question. The spiritual life is not a place where you come to play mind games. We assume that everyone who comes to The Earth Center has deep fundamental questions that are left unanswered, and we are here to help guide their journey toward the answers they seek. But one cannot be guided towards the truth unless. one asks honest questions.

A spiritual life, in reality, is not a matter of belief or emotional delirium, but a matter of intellectual honesty towards all the aspects of our lives.

Continuation of the Oddessy of Bataou and it’s applicability to the modern human being

Most of the words that are used to carry messages are as old as humanity itself, but their definitions have been dynamic with societies. Some words that, just a few years ago, were associated with the concept of good or the best things that could happen to us, nowadays are associated with their exact opposite, and with time produced transitory meanings. This led to the fact that one can find a different meaning to any word as we go deeper and deeper into the past. This imposes diverse possibilities of meanings on every individual who can send or receive messages.

For the individual in search of the true face of existence, these ten days of fasting are our ways of accompanying the God in his journey from the world of the living to the world of the dead. The 29th of Kairika is considered the official date of mourning for the God. This is the story hidden behind the diverse sorts of fastings that are talked about in modern religions. Despite the fact that they find the idea of a spiritual fast seducing, they still battle with the difference between a monotheistic concept and the world that was there before them.

Genetic material added to foods can combine in ways that are unpredictable, and this can permanently change the nature of our food. No one knows if the altering that is done by genetic engineering is safe. While scientists tamper with nature, they can create changes in the genetic makeup of plants, and we are the guinea pigs.

Beyond the practical aspects of our daily lives, we are also very dishonest with ourselves about our own existence and there is an even greater danger in this type of dishonesty with the self.

Barley is most well-known as a grain/cereal that is used as an additive for both human and animal cereal foods and in breads and muffins. Barley is a staple food in many cultures around the world.

Basically, they have nothing to lose by trying traditional medicine because they have lost enough already.

Initiates reflections on a commandment

When the church and modern medical system fail to solve one’s problems, people flock to the traditional healers, where they know they will find solutions. The church, of course, does not like this and is rightfully threatened by the healers' ability to solve problems that they cannot. Thus, church members prayed for those people with problems, asking that they know that they can find solutions in God rather than in the healers.

The power of music created within the pentatonic system can be thought of as a mantra. Repetition used in mantras has been known to bring about trance states. African drummers are able to create harmonic overtones that actually sound like Ancestral singing to bring about trance dance states.

The Danza Azteca has survived because the poor people, the peasants, the barrio people, were the ones who kept it alive, who kept it as part of the tradition. That was one of the few things they could have that nobody else could take away from them. The rich people, the landowners, the businessmen, as soon as they could blend into the Spanish society, they lost it..."

Concerning the dilemma of the human brain, we have been taught that it does not invent. Creativity is only the bending of ideas that stem from another source. Games are one example. Those of us who know the history of soccer recognize that it originates from people who played by kicking around objects.

Factory-farmed chicken in the USA is often fed with rendered animal parts. Factory-farmed chickens suffer widely from heart and lung problems, weak bones, and obesity. They are simply not the same natural animals that local farmers offer, and the majority of consumers in countries like Ghana are not aware of these facts.

New research is being conducted constantly, and modern scientists have no qualms about inserting human genes and cells into animals or plants. In fact, they see these developments as medically necessary and economically needed - they will save lives, feed the hungry, and keep people healthy.

To help ward off this problem, African healers suggest watching one's diet more carefully. Those who eat a lot of meat are more inclined to have waste and elimination problems; exercising moderation of meat and animal products in the diet will help. One should also avoid hydrogenated fats and animal fats.

We are faced with the issue of survival while we are confronted with a man-made system that exists only as an idea that thrives off its systematic oppression of human beings (and in doing so, proving its lack of value and respect for the planet). In a modern world of programmed, fast-paced lifestyles that distract and lead us further away from our divine-human nature, what does our future hold?
