As previously established here, we know that the closing of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish prayers, benedictions, and so forthendoften reciting the word "Amen," which was the "hidden" divine aspect of God according to Kemetic spirituality.

We also previously established that all throughout the Bible where the Hebrew tetragrammaton (YHWH) was used, it says "LORD" or "my LORD" (with lord in all capitals) but pronounced in Hebrew as "Adonai." When Adonai is transliterated to the Kemetic language, it becomes "the Aten," which was another Kemeticdivine aspect of God.

Our latestBlacknet discovery is that the word "niger" that Europeans used to denote blackness often in a derogatory manner (which was the root ofnegro and n*gg*r), was actuallyborrowed from our African ancestors in the Nile Valley. This root word was ironicallyused by Europeans to name the countries Niger & Nigeria, as well as the River Niger.According to J.A.Rogers:

"'Ni' probably means "great" and Ger, or Geir, is African for river. At first Niger had nothing to do with black..."
~Sex and Race, Vol. 1, pg 86.
Therefore, "niger" according to Rogers really only means "Great River" and not "black." Taking a closer look at the Mtw Neter (Egyptian/Kemetic) language, we can see easily how the word "niger" evolved where the Greeks & Romans associated the "black" people of the Nile with the river's associations. We must remember that all vowels (besides an "A" at the beginning of a word) are arbitrary and are added by Egyptologist translaters to help in pronounciation, as with other African & Semitic languages.

The first example we have is Neg meaning "great" (or representing the divine aspect of the might of a bull) and Ar meaning "river" gives us something like Neg-Ar; thus literally meaning "great/mighty river."

The second example showsNet meaning "stream/water" and also a neter (divine aspect) of the Nile river combined with Gerh who was a neterof one of the 4 principle elements in Kemetic mythos. These together make something like Net-Gerh, which hasseveral meanings all revolving around the greatness or divine aspectsof the Nile River.

I, for one, find this quite remarkable.This was the name of our sacredriver that sustained life in antiquity and now thousands of years later after many generations of distortions, lies, slavery, colonization, and so forth, the same names (as well as spiritual affirmations ofAmen andAten/Adonai)has unwittingly followedand stuck with our people to this very day.

To me, this is so remarkable indeed that I set up these series of threads to pose a spiritualquestion to Blacknet. Assuming you believe in a God who is personal or interacts with the world, do you think that God has anything to do with this?

I am not advocating anyKemetic religion, for God transcends evenKemet as some of you have very well expressed. However, looking at it from a pure spiritual perspective absent of religious dogmas or affiliations, do you think that all these things presented (as well as other similarities)are merely coincidence or something more divine?

I started to postNeg-Ar orNet-Gerh PLEASE!!! as a joke, but I was not sure how you were going to take it LOL

Seriously though, that is a good question and one I will have to ponder on because there is no easy or straightforward answer to this one.....

You should know me by now Safety...I don't insult easily. Even though this thread is on spirituality, I am not dogmatic about anything. Plus, I have grown to your humor here so it is all good.

Looking at much of the historical, philological, linguistic, and archaeological evidence, I have been pondering this spiritual question for a very long time (for me that is at least a couple years). I knew that if I brought it all up in one massive thread, people would have been like..."huh?" Anyhow, I hope that I have primed Blacknet with my prior posts on this enough so that I can get thoughts from my African folks.

Shemsien Tehutiasked: "...However, looking at it from a pure spiritual perspective absent of religious dogmas or affiliations, do you think that all these things presented (as well as other similarities)are merely coincidence or something more divine?..."

Answer: Yes, something more then "divine". You post ties into the one I did quite nicely. Your Metu Neter drawings are on point --http://www.blackchat.co.uk/theblackf...m26/22984.html

@Shemsi en Tehuti,

I think it is something Divine. These signsallowed us to be able to recognize at least part of the truth thus making us hunger for more truth. There are a lot of these "Signs" all around us and when you start searching for the truth they become much easier to see.

Shalom.


\"YHWH IS\"

I've heard of there being certain rules that have to beabided byfor fear of God being insulted or something... to mention signs they say that whats happening now is that the devil is twisting the image of Gods creation through the distortion of truth but that ''he'' can't lie or directly pervert Gods image for fear of invoking his wrath... the truth always has to be there and so its hidden in things much like you said as well as in fictional films and media.

Like contracts and stuff, pacts,in a contract the truth has to be told so its in the small print where they hope you wont read it because they can't lie about it. So its the same in society the truth is hiddenamongst the lies as said, in fictional stories and words because there are certain things that can't be lied about.

Not that I really understand what the word N*gg*r is supposed to mean, or if I particually belive itbutthats what I've bumped into in my spiritual studies and how it would relate...the NWBNsalways go on about stuff like that.

Santa = Satan

I've got a new one for History = His-Story. Its;

History = Hiss-Tory.

The hiss being the wisper in the garden of eden, the words of a snake. The Tory part is the right wing political of English politics. .lol.


I wanted to know if the Dagara elders could tell the diffrence between fiction and reality. The elders did not understand what a starship is, they did not understand what the fussy uniforms had to do with anything but they recognized in Spock a Kontomble of the seventh planet... they had never seen a Kontomble that big.
