Description
Foundations of Thought Mini Course Part 1 – Concepts of The Person: The Person as a Multiple Selves
In this exciting lecture series, multi-award-winning scholar Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Kambon will guide attendees through the core principles, modes, patterns, and history of thought and knowledge production in Afrika. We will closely examine a variety of fundamentally Afrikan concepts and ideas and be given the tools to apply this ancient knowledge to not only our own ways of organizing knowledge but our everyday lived experience also. At the end of the course, attendees will have acquired an understanding of the cosmology underpinning Afrikan Thought and Philosophy, the concept of the person as multiple selves and how divinity and nature come together as one of the key tenets of Afrikan epistemology.
1. Concepts of The Person: The Person as a Multiple Selves
• The Multiple Selves of Afrikan Thought
• The Destiny or Spiritual Double
• The Soul or Breath
• The Heart
• The Ancestral Guardian
• The Shadow
Bakari –
This was a very well laid out course that seems to have set the stage for the ONÍMẸ́RINDÍNLÓGÚN (16-STEP INITIATE) process. The material was more than informative, but transformative and actionable. Learning about our different selves, and how to get all of our selves (Destiny, Transcendent, Thinking/Feeling, Ancestral, Dream) in balance has been of much value in my journey of reKmtizing and deaAmw-izing. In a time when everyone seems to ask others “have you healed?” – this seems to be the most foundational and focused approached on true healing, which is how to remove the implanted aAmw that has embedded itself within us.
