How true are these words?
From Nana Karenga’s book “Husia”
Song of Nswt Bity Antef
Prosperous is this good prince. For his kind destiny has come to pass. One generation passes and another remains since the time of the ancestors. The exalted ones who lived in former times now rest in their pyramids. And the blessed nobles are likewise buried in their pyramids also. Yeah those who built those pyramids, their places are no more. Behold what has been done to them.
I have heard the words of Imhotep and Hardedef, two stages of old, whose teaching are repeated often. Yet where are their place now. Their walls all have wasted away in their places are gone as though they have never existed. There is none who returned from there that he or she may tell us how they fare, or what they need so that our hearts may be at peace until we to reach the place where they have gone.
Let your heart be happy then, and forget your date of departure. Follow the desire of your heart for as long as you live. Put myrrh on your head and clad yourself in find clothes. Enjoy the wonderous things fit for a God. Increase the number of the things you enjoy and let not your heart become lax or lose its vigor. Follow the desires of your heart and do that which is good for you. Fulfill your needs on earth according to the commands of your heart till the day of morning comes for you. For the god of the departed here’s not the mourning, and wailing saves no one from the grave. Celebrate, then, the days of rejoicing and do not tire of them. For lo, none may take their goods with them and none of the parts ever come back again.

“Enjoy the wonderous things fit for a God.” I do wonder what the original text says and uses for the word “God”
-
Good questions regarding “uses for the word God”
-
Neter? Why don’t we ask Antef himself?
-
️I have wondered this too as I study our African history.

Something is wrong with the transliteration of that line in the PDF
-
-
Had to bring out the dictionary for this one ”ms.ti m biAw mAa n Hwt nTr” the answer is “nTr“
-
Appreciate the extra work, I meant the question literally Why don’t or why can’t we just ask Antef himself? There must be a way to channel or posses his knowledge directly from him.

Looks like it should be xt instead of Hwt unless the glyphs themselves were represented incorrectly.
-
Yup, it’s xt.

This text also reminds me of a conversation between a man and his Ba.
-
I agree particularly the conclusion of “A man and his Ba.”
The author of Ecclesiastes ripped this papyrus and added and subtracted from areas he saw fit.

You wouldn’t even look at it to see how they ripped off this song?

I would do my best not to. People keep tapping me for biblical plagiarism and that has to be the topic that I dislike discussing the most. In the division of labor, please put someone else on that job.
-
You mean to tell me the bible isn’t the only spiritual book on the planet…IMPOSSIBLE.

It’s mind blowing how much of that toilet paper otherwise known as the bible has plagiarised from our ancient texts!!!

@TWIKILAKOMESHO the book of Ecclesiastes shares a similar outlook on life with the Song of Antef.
– Niswt Bity Antef and the author of Ecclesiastes instruct us to anoint ourselves with oil, wear fine clothes, and enjoy life.
– Like in the Song of Antef, Ecclesiastes teaches to not let our hearts sink because of our eventual passing.
– Both texts mention the cycle of life, generations coming and going.Although Ecclesiastes is a much longer text than the Song of Antef, the author of Ecclesiastes was aware of this text.
-
No doubt that Ecclesiastes’ author studied the Song, and more!

No I think channeling are possessing them would be best.
-
No we should be able to telepathically communicate without the use of words. Of course I support the mission of not speaking English but the best education is done in trance (possession, channeling) that involves right brain thinking. Words primarily use the left brain while important is limited in there effectiveness.
-
Out of curiosity, have you done this before with another ancestor? If so, what did he or she reveal to you?
-
Yes, the story of my past life when I was kidnapped to the hell’s of North America was detailed. My purpose and relationship to certain ancestors was clarified. I was given certain missions to carry out and the consequences of not completing them.
-
Did this occur in a dream or did you perform a ritual?
-
I built an alter and set the intent that every week I’ll meet with my primary ancestor (didn’t know who at the time). I vowed never to miss a meeting unless someone close was dying. Eventually the channel came through and I asked what was there name relationship to me etc with my heart. I was in a trance like state and my story was told to me, it was easily one of the most amazing moments of my life. Afrikans don’t need no DNA test just have a sincere heart and ask your primary ancestor for help and you’ll be surprised what can happen.
-
Will you ever use the DNA test?
-
No, the Eurasians are likely going to use the DNA of Afrikans getting this test to develop new weapons. Part of my ancestors live within me, speaking to them tells me all I could ever need to know.
-
Right on and thanks!

SankofaMaat what do you recommend or what books would you recommend for novices like myself in seeking higher levels of consciousness to be able to speak to a specific ancestor and or ancestors?

Yes I do
