    Excellent information. I began to awaken at age 42. I learned through intense research my history. "Urithi wangu ni Balanta na Zulu." I began learning Swahili to communicate better with the Mother Continent Alkebulan. I shed the slave name forced upon my Ancestors and found my parents original tribes from wince they were stolen. The freedom of Afrikan Spirituality is more than liberating! Ubuntu Ma'at Ase' 🙏🏿 🇬🇼🇰🇪🇿🇦🇺🇸 UKULWA 👊🏿

    People now confuse love with being on heat. We can recognize that animals go on heat for procreation but when it comes to humans we color it up as love and so we fail coz heat is just that. It passes. Love on the other hand come through once we engage with our higher self to seek the higher self in another we get a wonderful relationship and experience true love.

    He is speaking truth. All while it may be subjective, this truth correlates with science which is backed by testable facts. Thermodynamics says energy can not be created or destroyed. We are not our avatars or as he once put it “a collection of elements”.
