Influences: Hatshepsut The Ablest Queen of Far Antiquity (1503 - 1482 B.C.)Hatshepsut rose to power after her father Thothmes I was stricken with paralysis. He appointed Hatshepsut as his chief aide and heiress to the throne. While several male rivals sought to oust power, Hatshepsut withstood their challenges to remain leader of what was then the world's leading nation. To help enhance her popularity with the people of Egypt, Hatshepsut had a number of spectacular temples and pyramids erected. Some of the towering structures still stand today as a reminder of the first true female ruler of a civilized nation. She was indeed the "The Ablest Queen of Far Antiquity" and remained so for thirty-three years.
Sounds Like: Adam and Eve...another version This is for Afrikan women everywhere...The Bible starts with the story of Adam and Eve. In this story, Adam and Eve are created and given dominion over all the earth. They live in Eden, a garden of perfection. They interact with God everyday and live in harmony with all creation. However, to stay in this garden God gives them one condition; they can eat from every tree and bush in the garden expect one- the tree of life. However, the snake soon appears and convinces Eve to eat from the forbidden tree. So she eats the fruit and convinces Adam to do the same. God sees Adam and Eve's disobedience and banishes them from the garden.This story is significant to Afrikan women and our psychology because Eve represents womanhood and Adam, manhood. Therefore the importance of this story is due to a number of reasons. Firstly, it makes the woman look weak and easily tricked. When the snake appears and speaks to Eve, all the rules of God are swiftly forgotten. So this story implies that the nature of women is such that we can be easily deceived and manipulated. Secondly, this story makes it look as though when the woman is left alone, she immediately gets into trouble and does evil. It is saying that without the presence of a man, woman is completely unable to stick to simple rules and is also unable make prudent decisions. Thirdly, this story makes us look very crafty and sly for once we have eaten the forbidden fruit we immediately go to Adam and get him to do the same. This suggests that when we get into trouble due to our own stupidity and oversight, we do everything in our power to bring those around us down with us. Finally, this story of Adam and Eve puts the blame of the banishment from Eden on Eve's shoulders. For only if Eve hadn't been left to her incompetent self, we humans would still be living in the Garden of Eden right? We are now responsible for bringing humans down to the level we are at now. Oh silly woman, it is all your fault that humankind have been cursed.Many of us were introduced to the story of Adam and Eve when we were very young. Thus, from a young age, we have been told that Eve was the reason that the intimate relationship between God and humans was destroyed. Some of us my harbour a feeling of guilt in the back of our minds for belonging to the sex that did the evil deed that severed the intimate bond between God and humans. So from a very young age females are taught to mistrust themselves and their decision-making abilities. These females then grow up to be women with low self confidence, uncertain that what they are doing is correct and generally unsure of themselves. This is not to say that the story of Adam and Eve is entirely responsible for the issues of self-esteem that some women battle with, this is to point out the power this Genesis story has over some of those who eventually accept faiths that teach this story.Now let us turn to another, more ancient, perhaps truer rendition of the of the Adam and Eve story. Ra Nefer, in the book Metu Neter Vol. I, explains that according to the original Hebrew version of the Bible, the characters who took part in the Fall of Man were not Adam and Even but Aish and Aisha. A study of the Kabala (Judaic equivalent of the Bible or Quran) reveals that the so-called woman and man were in reality symbols of parts of Man's spirit. The Kamitic (Ancient Egyptian) spiritual system, which is the source of most of the Hebraic religious traditions, is an ancient Afrikan spiritual system. Keep in mind that for a long time, the Ancient Egyptians were Black Afrikans, not Arabs as they are today (for a more rigorous consideration of this topic, click here and here). A study of the Kamitic spiritual system shows that our ancestors believed that there is an animal division of Man's spirit. This animal division of man's spirit is represented by the symbol of a serpent in Kamitic texts. The animal division of Man's spirit has the function of animating man's life, especially the physical body. The creature we call animals simply allow the greatest expression of this principle. However, as we know, if we allow ourselves to be led by an animal, it leads to disastrous results. Therefore, the serpent mentioned in the garden of Eden actually refers to the process of animal division of the spirit communicating with other parts of the spirit. Moreover, Aish (Adam) and Aisha (Eve) are not actual people in a physical garden. Aish, the male principle represents the conscious whereas Aisha, the female principle represents the subconscious. Therefore when the serpent talks to and deceives Eve in the garden of Eden this actually refers to the animal division gaining control over the subconscious in the human mind/spirit. Once the subconscious (Eve) accepts the principles of the animal division of the spirit (Serpent) the conscious part of the mind/spirit (Adam) merely follows and expresses what the subconscious part of the mind/spirit has agreed to. Therefore the story of Adam Eve, as described by our ancestors, serves to illustrate two points. The first is that once women have accepted a principle in our subconscious, it is only a matter of time before the evidence of that principle is expressed in our conscious and affects our actions. The second point of the story is that women should be aware of and careful of what we feed to our subconscious because of the powerful effect the subconscious has on our actions. This is especially the case for us as modern Afrikan women who are given subconscious messages in the form of music, movies, advertisements and books. If we unconsciously feed our spirits unhealthy and foolish messages, it will only be a matter of time before we begin to act in an unwise and foolish manner.Afrikan Wombmen arise!
