Sacred Wisdom from the Afrikan History Continuum

Afrikan people lift the attributes of the Creator Supreme through their deities. The empowerment to Afrikan life is magnificent as the deities are called upon to energise pinnacle excellence. One such deity is Djehuty, the deity of wisdom, knowledge and articulation of the ancient nile valley. In west Afrikan tradition these qualities of the Creator Supreme are identified as Orunmila. Whether described as or called upon as Djehuty or as Orunmila wisdom knowledge and articulation becomes superlative Afrikan acumen. The Afrikan sacred writings of the Odu Ifa text is a profound manifestation of the divine wisdom word. Indeed, the Odu Ifa text is a sacred holder of wisdom. A contemporary adaptation by this author of a verse from this sacred holder of wisdom is detailed here with a Kiswahili identifier on the subject of being at one like the tree. The advent of ever-expanding experiences from Afrikan journeying thousands of years hence (including the devastating disruption of the Maafa of recent centuries), is reflected in this presentation. In celebrating Afrikan Historia Msimu the great writings of the Afrikan history continuum can be revisited to inspire, lift and be a progressive guide in spirit life. Afrikan history is living history. The Kiswahili phrase for Sacred Holder of Wisdom is Mmiliki Mtakatifu wa Hekima:
Kuwa Moja Kama Mti (Be At One Like the Tree)
Orunmila says that the Afrikan nation should gather together
like trees do to form a
forest.
I say there should be a gathering together.
We find the monkey in groups.
We find the wild pig in groups.
We don’t even find “one who keeps silent” walking alone.
Nor do we find the greedy enemy walking alone.
Our teachings of Afrikan wisdom say we should gather together and not walk
alone.
