EPISODE 40

WHO WILL BAIL THE CAT? – A Poem from the Sun

What will our world become in a generation to come?

As the human race is evolving, and time is passing, the sages are asking but no one is talking

As the Sun scorches the heart of man, so our soil gets ticker than grains.

Mankind has existed in the state of wonder since the beginning of time,

He stands between what is, and what could be, yet covers his true ambition with the cloak of master-ship, giving false hope to the hopeless and hollow help to the helpless

The world is filled with clouds of clandestine; we are covered by it yet afraid to look because the answers lie in the eyes of the serpent

Although some eyes have seen and some ears have heard, but their mouths are sealed with the truth withheld

The fruit has been given, but the fear of unknown has kept man with none.

Now their pits are filled with boxes of truth covered with the sands of lies

Who will bail the cat?  Thus says the Sun!

Today, on the maiden edition of Nostrorum Societas – Our Society, I’m about to take you on a journey. A journey deep into the heart of the downfall we so often lament about, but never fully grasp. I will unravel how we arrived at this point – how our collective reality, the very one that gets all the complaints, is not only a product of external forces, but was also sparked by none other than you and me. Yes, you heard that right. It all begins with our emotions, the very energy fields we emit each day. And it doesn’t end there – it extends to our thoughts and the beliefs we hold dear. In this discourse, we’ll dissect the true essence of Atheism, Christianity, Islam, and even the followers of the African Traditional of Spirituality. You’ll discover how these belief systems help mold the reality you are currently living in.

It’s a profound lecture, but if you’re open-minded and curious, it’s one you’ll want to hear.

Before we dive in further, let’s first unravel how the emotions we unconsciously broadcast trigger energy fields that shape the world we experience daily.

EMOTIONS AND ENERGY

We live in a world where toxic energy seems to flow as smoothly as water. People often fail to realize that the emotions we project daily create an after-effect on our reality, deep down at the infinitesimal level. This subtle shift actually alters the atomic structure that gives matter the tangible form we recognize. These changes affect our reality because, when negative emotions poison the atmosphere, they influence it from the tiniest atomic particle up. As the energy field changes, so too does our reality, reconfiguring itself to match the frequency we’ve set.

One of the mystery schools I’ve join teaches that our environments affect us. In fact, your presence alone, the energy you emit, influences the surroundings you inhabit.

Now, let’s break this down: emotions, be they love, hate, envy, or joy, are all forms of energy vibrating at different frequencies. So, when you say “love”; what exactly is it? Love is an energy that vibrates at an incredibly high frequency. What about hate? It’s a much lower frequency. Joy, anger, happiness—they’re all just energy in different states.

You might be wondering, “What is frequency, anyway?” Well, if put simply, frequency is the number of fluctuations of a wave in a given time. So, when you’re happy and suddenly slip into sadness, what’s happening is that your electromagnetic energy, or aura, is plummeting to a lower frequency. If this downward shift continues, you might find yourself sinking from sadness into grief, from grief to anger, then on to agitation and hate. If it spirals further, you could end up clinically depressed, feeling hopeless and asking yourself, why the hell where you even born into this life, perhaps it would be better if you just disappear and don’t exist; awwch, thats harsh, right? Ok next you might just wish to end it all; I mean, die!

This is why substances like drugs, alcohol, and marijuana (when used long-term) can lead to depression and anxiety. Especially when you stop using them, you experience a sharp decline in your emotional state. But here’s the kicker: the moment you indulge again, you feel better, don’t you? Why is that?

The truth is, every time you ‘get high’, you’re unknowingly elevating your frequency to a very high level of consciousness as the serotonin fluid in your brain begin to get released. Sometimes, if you’ve taken enough of a substance, you get a buzz that makes you feel ecstatic—like you’re on top of the world. But once the drug wears off, your frequency drops drastically, and it manifests as mood swings, anger, sadness, and potentially, depression, because due to long term usage, the serotonin fluids no longer flow on their own unless those hard drugs are taken into your system.

If you truly grasp this concept, you’ll come to understand the reality you’re living. And soon, you’ll realize that the universe doesn’t speak the language of your words. It doesn’t listen to your desires, wants, or needs. The universe only understands the frequency at which you vibrate. So, you attract the energies that resonate at your frequency.

Ever notice how you can meet someone, shake their hand, sit together for just a moment, and suddenly feel a shift in your mood? You may experience anxiety, tension, or a sudden change in emotions. That’s your electromagnetic energy fighting against an external vibe that simply doesn’t match yours. You’re in a frequency clash. Such change in your energy fields can affect your brain chemistry and slow, or stop the flow of those fluids that regulates your mode.

Let me tell you a story…

Once upon a time, I found myself journeying to a quiet countryside within my state, tasked with a job that would occupy me for the next 24 hours. What was meant to be a brief escape soon turned into a rather unsettling experience. The moment I arrived, I felt an unexpected shift in my mood—a wave of depression and restlessness washed over me, as though the very air in that town was polluted with an energy that didn’t quite mesh with my own. It was as if the vibrations of this place were at odds with me. I knew I couldn’t stay, but duty called, and so I endured.

The following morning, as I tried to gather myself, I overheard a commotion between two neighbors. What started as a simple argument quickly escalated into a violent exchange, one man nearly taking the life of the other with a machete. If it weren’t for some timely intervention, it would have been a murder on my watch. I tried to mediate, but peace wasn’t on the table. It was clear—these two were set on destruction.

Shaken, I decided to take a walk into the village to fetch some milk for breakfast before starting my work. As I walked, my mind kept circling back to the chaos I had just witnessed. If that machete hadn’t been stopped, it would’ve been a different story. Murder. That was the reality waiting to unfold.

As I entered the small shop to buy my milk, I found myself caught in a conversation between two women—one was the shopkeeper, the other a customer. They were gossiping, as people tend to do in such places, but their words were laced with disdain. They spoke venomously about a woman, calling her a “whore,” and judging her unfit for marriage because of an anklet and a nose ring she wore. Their voices grew louder, more animated, until they clapped their hands in disgust and sighed in collective judgment. The customer lamented about how the woman was “using charms” to keep a handsome man to herself, and the shopkeeper assured her, “Don’t worry, that marriage won’t last.”

I couldn’t help but think, This… this is envy. With a heavy heart, I left the shop, feeling the weight of their words lingering in the air.

My walk continued, and I passed by a group of boys hanging out near a shop that smelled strongly of cigarettes and dried gin. It was one of those places where the “hard guys” gather to prove their bravado, smoking weed and indulging in substances that poison the mind. As I passed them, their eyes followed me—curious, calculating. I kept my pace, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling that settled over me.

Not far from there, I approached an open compound with a small kiosk. I was in need of milk, and I was certain this was the place. A young lady sat outside, playing a game of “Ludo” with a younger girl. She told me the milk was available, but I’d have to wait for the shop owner, who was apparently in the middle of her bath. I asked if she could serve me in the meantime, but she flatly refused.

“Don’t you live here?” I asked.

She nodded. “Yes.”

“That means she knows you, right?” I persisted.

“Yes,” she replied, her eyes darting away.

“So why can’t you sell it to me? I mean the shop is open, isn’t it” I asked, genuinely puzzled. “She knows you, and the shop is open. You could serve me now, and when she comes back, she can just take the money.”

Her response was blunt: “I don’t want that woman’s wahala.”

Confused, I probed further. “What do you mean by wahala?”

“Everybody here hates her,” she said, her voice low. “She has a bad character.”

“Why do you hate her then?” I pressed.

She sighed deeply. “I don’t know. All I know is, everybody hates her.”

“And you?” I asked, “You hate her too?”

“Yes,” she admitted.

“But you’re sitting here at her kiosk. You’re on her bench. Doesn’t that make you… connected to her?”

“No,” she said quickly, “She was my classmate. But we’re not friends.”

Hatred and lies. I thought to myself. It was as if the town itself was steeped in these emotions, festering beneath the surface.

I couldn’t help but notice a family nearby, seated together but constantly fighting over their food. They had eaten two plates of rice, but it wasn’t enough. Each of them grabbed from the others’ plates, and their mother, instead of scolding them, dished out more. By the time I was about to leave, I overheard someone from inside shout, “Please don’t finish that food, leave some for me!” One of the others retorted, “The two plates you ate just now weren’t enough?”

Gluttony, I thought, shaking my head. It was as if excess and greed were part of their very way of life.

As I continued my walk, I encountered a young woman walking towards me. In the span of five minutes, we were already chatting as though we had known each other forever. She was friendly, charming even, and complimented me repeatedly on my long hair, saying how much she loved men with long hair. Within moments, she was offering to follow me to my hotel room, no questions asked.

If you’re being honest with yourself, you’d recognize this behavior for what it was—lust. Her intentions were clear, and the speed with which she latched onto me was both curious and unsettling.

Finally, after finishing my work in the village, I left and made my way home. As soon as I returned, I felt the weight lift from my chest. No more depression. No more restlessness. It was as though I had returned to a place of peace—far from the chaotic energy I had just experienced.

And that’s when I began to reflect on the entire visit. The envy, the hate, the gluttony, and even the lust. All these energies swirling around, creating a reality I could hardly stand. It was a powerful reminder of how the energy we carry—whether consciously or unconsciously—shapes the world around us.

The entire village was affected by the negative emotions they trigger daily, which reduced the vibration of that town/village to a very low frequency. On my short stay, I discovered that the village, (which about 70% of their inhabitants were Christians as I noticed), were guilty of the 7 deadly sins. (Lust, Envy, Lie, Jealousy, Murder, Hate and Gluttony), these so called deadly sins were the emotions that trigger negative energies which has enveloped the town with a sort of bad aura/energy fields and that was why my own aura and energy was affected negatively the moment I stepped into that town, giving rise to depression and restlessness.

You know, this is why I always say, that prayers do not work! Read the article onHOW DO MYSTICS PRAY.The universe is energy, it responds only to energy, and its language is the language understood only by vibrations, esoteric symbols and energy, if you want to speak to the universe then speak to the universe using vibrations and energy. That village was filled with Christians but yet, poverty was like their lifestyle, don’t they pray? Yes they do, but why is their prayers not answered? The answer is simple, God or the universes don’t answer prayers, they respond only to the emotions they emit daily. And since in one day, that community was guilty of the 7 deadly sins, it means they emit negative energies daily, and negative thoughts like fears, lies, misuse and abuse of sexual energies always accompanies them.

SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM: THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE

The universe does not hear your prayers—it responds to the frequency of the energy you emit. Every word of prayer carries an intention, and that intention radiates as energy, vibrating at a specific frequency. It is this vibration that the universe perceives, shaping your reality in accordance with the energy you give out.

When the energy field of your prayers contradicts your aura and personality, it is rejected. If the energy emitted from your prayer’s intention is too weak, it simply doesn’t go through.

The strength or weakness of your prayer has nothing to do with the volume of your voice—it is determined by the power of your WILL. Shouting in the name of prayer serves no real purpose; all it does is redirect your focus toward the sound of your own voice rather than the essence of what you are praying for. True spiritual force lies not in noise, but in the intensity of your inner conviction.

The universe does not understand human language; it comprehends only energy, vibration, and symbols. This is why spiritual traditions and metaphysical schools place immense significance on symbolism. Symbols are not mere decorations—they are encoded messages, signals that the universe and spiritual entities can interpret and respond to accordingly. Such practice on symbolism was first initiated by our ancestors; the ancients.

KNIGHT FREDEL IJERE

Have you ever wondered why the ancients carved symbols into stones, walls, and sacred spaces—symbols that today, you superstitiously label diabolic or demonic? Do you think they did it just for decoration, or perhaps to spook future generations into making horror movies? No, my friend, they understood reality far better than most of us do today. They knew that the universe doesn’t communicate in human languages—it speaks in symbols, signs, and frequencies.

Take, for example, the triangle with an eye—an image that has fueled countless conspiracy theories and internet debates. But beyond the paranoia, what does it truly signify? This ancient symbol emits an energy field that cultivates insight, light, enlightenment, ascension, truth, and awakening. Wherever it is placed, it acts like a cosmic beacon, radiating awareness and sharpening perception.

Now, let’s talk about the hexagram—a shape that has been revered, feared, and misunderstood in equal measure. This six-pointed star, recognized in various traditions as the Star of David, Star of Astaroth, or Star of Ishtar, isn’t just some fancy geometric design. When properly placed, it becomes a generator of protective energy, forming an energetic shield against negative forces. Why? Because symbols are not just ink on paper or carvings on stone; they are mental constructs charged with energy, vibrating at specific frequencies that the universe recognizes and responds to.

This is why in ancient mystery schools, sacred symbols were never just drawn—they were activated. Position them correctly, and they begin to radiate cosmic energy that alters the surrounding space. Need protection from negative forces? The hexagram has you covered—quite literally. It reacts with the energies around it, raising the vibrations and creating an aura of spiritual fortification.

Dreams: The Universe’s Cryptic Messages

Over the years, I have counseled many people who brought me their dreams, hoping for interpretation. Most of these dreams were mystical, filled with cryptic symbols drawn on walls, papers, or even floating in the air. Some dreamers, upon waking, could still recall and sketch these symbols, unaware that they had just received messages from realms beyond human comprehension.

For those unfamiliar with universal principles, such dreams are often dismissed; “just a dream,” they say. But here’s the truth: symbolic dreams are far more significant than those that play out in ordinary images. When a higher intelligence wishes to communicate, it doesn’t waste time spelling things out; it etches messages into the fabric of your subconscious. The wise will decode them; the untrained will ignore them.

The Second Reason Society Has Fallen

Now that we’ve unraveled the mystery of symbols and energy, let’s dive into the second reason our society is spiraling downward: RELIGION.

Not religion in its pure, untainted form; the kind that once carried deep wisdom, profound teachings, and enlightenment. No, we’re talking about distorted religion, warped by time, manipulation, and hidden agendas.

The original purpose of religious doctrine was never to instill fear and panic; it was meant to uplift, enlighten, and connect humanity to the divine. But over time, its essence has been diluted, its true teachings buried beneath layers of misguided traditions, man-made rules, and ego-driven modifications. Instead of a society built on wisdom and spiritual evolution, we now have one driven by dogma and control.

And that, my dear reader, is where the downfall began.

RELIGION AND OUR SOCIETY

The Lost Society: Shackled Minds and the Illusion of Reality

Our society is deranged—wandering aimlessly in the fog of illusion. It was not always this way. Society, in its original form, was created to unite people, coordinate progress, and build a system that uplifted individuals toward a greater cause. But somewhere along the line, things spiraled out of control, and today, we find ourselves entangled in chaos. Each attempt to fix our predicament only seems to birth yet another problem—another layer of complication in an already twisted reality.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Africa, where the people remain bound in chains—not physical shackles, but mental ones. And the most unsettling part? These chains can be cast off at any moment, yet the question remains: Are we even willing to try?

No conversation about Africa’s struggles would be complete without addressing the elephant in the room—religion.

Religious identity is deeply woven into every fabric of African society. Here, everyone falls into one category or another—Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, or followers of African Traditional Spirituality. And in this grand mosaic of beliefs, each group claims superiority. Some proclaim their faith as the absolute truth, condemning others as sinners and lost souls. This battle for spiritual dominance has raged for centuries, reshaping societies, fueling conflicts, and creating invisible walls between people.

Atheists may argue that they stand outside this battle, free from religious influence—but that, too, is an illusion. After all, a belief in nothing is still a belief.

The reality is this: religious fanaticism has ensnared the African mind, leading to division, stagnation, and even violence. That is why, in this week’s edition of Nostrorum Societas, I will unveil the hidden truths within African society—starting with an in-depth exploration of its various religious ideologies.

Brace yourself. Some truths may be uncomfortable, but they must be spoken.

ATHEISM AND MATERIALISM: A Belief in Nothing, Yet a Belief Nonetheless

Atheism, at its core, is the rejection of the divine, the unseen, and the spiritual. Many atheists believe that human beings are mere biological machines, devoid of a soul, with existence ending at the final breath. To them, there is nothing beyond the physical world—no higher realms, no spiritual dimensions, just a universe governed by chance and material laws.

But here’s the paradox—to believe in nothing is still to hold a belief.

Atheism and materialism share a close bond, for both are deeply rooted in the physical world. Materialists, though not necessarily atheists, place their trust solely in tangible wealth, possessions, and the pursuit of worldly success. Ironically, many self-proclaimed atheists in Africa are, in reality, just materialists—less concerned with scientific skepticism and more absorbed in their immediate, physical reality.

Yet, few ever stop to question why atheism even exists in the first place. Like all ideologies, it has its advantages and disadvantages, but its origin holds a deeper mystery—one that many fail to explore.

And so, the journey begins.

Why was atheism initiated in the first place?

Many sincere atheists today have come to an unexpected realization—atheism, in itself, is a belief system.

Yes, you heard me right!

Now, what defines a religion? A religion is a structured path with doctrines and dogmas, a system of beliefs that its followers adhere to. It offers a lens through which its members interpret reality.

Atheists, of course, will insist they believe in nothing. But here’s the catch—believing in nothing is still a belief.

Think about it:

• An atheist believes there is no God.
• An atheist believes there is no spirituality, no soul, no afterlife.
• An atheist believes that only the physical world exists.

Thus, a belief in nothing is, in fact, a belief in itself.

And what about dogmas or doctrines? Do atheists have them?

Yes, they do.

Stick around, and I’ll break it down for you.

Atheists often insist they follow no doctrine. But let’s take a step back—what are doctrines if not guiding principles that shape one’s worldview? In that case, science is their doctrine, physics their gospel, and great minds like Einstein and Newton their saints.

Yes, you read that right. Atheism, in its modern form, is built upon certain ideas and intellectual traditions, just like any belief system.

But why was atheism even necessary?

The ancients who first conceived this school of thought were not blind to the existence of the soul or higher intelligence. They understood that human progress required a focus on the physical world—on logic, observation, and discovery. Their goal was to push scientists toward innovation instead of waiting for an invisible force to solve their problems. And so, the scientific age flourished, bringing forth solutions to ailments once deemed incurable and technologies that shape our daily lives.

These ancients knew well that if higher intelligences wished to assist humanity, they wouldn’t appear in the clouds handing out solutions like divine merchants. Instead, they would inspire—whispering formulas into the minds of scientists, nudging inventors toward discovery. The principle was simple: Heaven helps those who help themselves.

However, modern African atheism has, in many cases, strayed far from this original purpose. Instead of scientific curiosity, many self-proclaimed atheists in Africa are simply materialists—people who reject spirituality, not out of intellectual rigor, but because religion imposes rules they find restrictive.

And let’s be honest—some of them aren’t fighting for science, they’re fighting for personal indulgence. They reject religious doctrines not out of philosophical conviction, but because they seek absolute freedom to do as they please, whenever they please. In some cases, it’s about escaping moral constraints—whether concerning sexuality, personal discipline, or ethical limitations.

When challenged by religious peers—especially on social media—these individuals often turn to relentless religious mockery. They’ll cherry-pick biblical passages, misinterpret scriptures, and even go so far as to argue that Jesus himself was gay, just to justify their choices and silence their critics.

This is why many African atheists today are not truly atheists but rather reactionaries—people rebelling against religious doctrines, rather than pursuing the path of scientific enlightenment as their forebears once intended.

Now, moving on to Christianity—one of the most dominant and complex religious movements in Africa.

A Christian is, by definition, one who follows Christ. The belief centers around salvation: that a Savior will return, purge the world of wickedness, reward the righteous, and cast the sinners into eternal condemnation. While some Christians argue that Christianity is not a religion but a way of life, their practices say otherwise—it is, in every way, a structured belief system with doctrines, traditions, and expectations.

Yet, despite preaching unity and love, Christianity in Africa is deeply fragmented. A Jehovah’s Witness may believe a Pentecostal is misguided. A Catholic may distrust a Protestant. Even within the same denomination, members often hold differing interpretations of doctrine, leading to constant schisms. The church, instead of being a single body, is now a network of competing institutions—each claiming divine legitimacy while subtly undermining the others.

And let’s not forget the rise of materialism within Christianity itself. Many modern pastors and reverends, rather than shepherding their flocks, have turned the church into a business empire—a marketplace of miracles where faith is traded for financial gain. Some secretly seek occult powers for influence, while their congregants remain blissfully unaware, believing they are led by men of God.

So, in summary: Christianity is the religion of love—but stray from it, and that love may quickly turn into judgment.

And if you don’t fall in line? Well, you’re going to Hell.

ATHEISM: A Religion of its Own?

Many sincere atheists today recognize that atheism, in practice, is a belief system and, dare I say, a religion of its own. Yes, you heard me right! What makes a religion? A religion is a structured system with doctrines, dogmas, and a set of beliefs that its followers adhere to. Does an atheist claim to believe in anything? No! But do they actually believe in something? Absolutely! And here’s why:

An atheist believes that they believe in nothing. An atheist believes that there is no God. An atheist believes that there is no soul or spiritual dimension.

And if believing in nothing is still a belief, then atheism is, in essence, a belief system.

The Sacred Texts of Atheism?

So, do atheists have doctrines? Of course! Their sacred texts come in the form of physics text books, scientific theories, and the works of intellectual giants. Their saints? Think of figures like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, revered minds whose words are treated with almost biblical reverence.

Atheism didn’t emerge out of thin air. It was introduced to direct human focus toward the physical, the tangible, the scientific. The ancient minds that laid the foundation of atheism knew that science could unravel the mysteries of existence without relying on divine intervention. Instead of waiting for a higher force to drop solutions from the sky, they wanted humanity to take charge; to study, experiment, and innovate. This approach has led to the breathtaking advancements in medicine, technology, and space exploration we see today.

But make no mistake; the early architects of atheism were well aware of the existence of higher intelligences, unseen dimensions, and the intricate fabric of reality beyond the material world. They simply understood that if help was to come, it would arrive in the form of inspiration and knowledge—not in floating loaves of bread or miracle-working deities.

Atheism vs. Materialism

In Africa today, many who claim atheism are, in reality, materialists; people who reject their religious beliefs and spirituality at some point, simply to escape religious restrictions. Let’s be honest: for some, it’s not about a logical rejection of divinity but a convenient way to dodge the moral codes of traditional religions. This is why a significant number of so-called African atheists have little to no scientific inclination. Instead, many are merely rebelling against religious dogma that condemns aspects of their lifestyle, be it indulgence, sexual liberation, or outright defiance of social norms.

On social media, these individuals often focus their criticism solely on Christianity—mocking biblical texts, painting religious figures in controversial lights, and waging an online war against believers. But is this genuine atheism, or just a form of counter-religion fueled by resentment?

Read more of this on the article: ATHEISM Vs. SPIRITUALITY, it is right here on this magazine, just flip through the pages, or CLICK HEREinstead.

Christianity: A Religion of Love (With Some Fine Print)

Christianity teaches love, forgiveness, and salvation. Yet, within its many denominations, internal contradictions abound. A Jehovah’s Witness may believe a Catholic is lost. A Pentecostal might see an Anglican as misguided. Despite being rooted in the same faith, Christians often bicker over whose version of the truth is more “true.”

So, when they preach to you about repenting and accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal savior, what they’re really saying is, “Hey, leave your version of Christianity and come join ours!” That’s the raw truth behind “winning souls for Christ”—it’s basically religious recruitment with a fancy name.

Think about it; if a Deeper Life member convinces you to repent, do you really think they’ll send you off to another church afterward? Nope! You’re expected to follow their path, because, in their eyes, that’s the only real way; and that is why I can never be a Christian.

But beyond the doctrinal disagreements, modern Christianity has evolved into a mix of genuine faith and materialism. Many religious leaders, rather than being spiritual guides, have turned their churches into profitable enterprises, wielding power over congregations while living lavishly. Still, if you want love, Christianity has you covered—just make sure you’re following the right pastor, or you might find yourself in hell (terms and conditions apply).

Islam & Judaism: A Clash of Beliefs

Islam, like Christianity, offers a structured path to divine connection. Muslims believe in an all-powerful, merciful God, revealed through prophets and scriptures. Their faith is strong, their commitment unwavering. Yet, just like Christianity, Islam has different interpretations. There are those who see it as a religion of peace, and then there are extremists who wield faith as a weapon.

Interestingly, Islam claims to be the original monotheistic religion, yet Judaism—the parent of both Christianity and Islam—sees things differently. Judaism recognizes Moses as its founding prophet but does not accept Jesus as the Son of God or Muhammad as a divine messenger. And while Islam acknowledges Jesus (or Isa) as a prophet, it firmly rejects his divinity. This inter-religious disagreement is a theological tug-of-war that has persisted for centuries.

And then there’s the paradox: Islam teaches submission to Allah, yet in practice, many cultures within Islam prioritize men over women. Women are often viewed as secondary, bound by strict laws that, in many interpretations, limit their freedom. Peaceful religion? Yes. But stray too far from its rules, and it’s war.

African Traditional Religion: The Old Gods Never Left

Before the arrival of Christianity and Islam, Africa thrived on its own spiritual systems—rich in ancestral worship, deity veneration, and mystical practices. Traditional spirituality emphasized harmony with nature, spiritual guidance from ancestors, and rituals that connected the living with the unseen.

However, in our world today, many traditional practitioners operate within a limited scope, adhering strictly to rituals without a deeper understanding of the forces they invoke. Some seek spiritual power for material gains, reinforcing the very materialism they often criticize in mainstream religions.

The oldest and purest form of traditional spirituality has been forgotten, or more like abandoned; while the darker path has become the most popular among Africans. Nowadays, many invoke deities that thrive on darkness, blood, and negative energy—all in exchange for material wealth; sadly these blood thirsty deities are named after the original pure spirits our ancestors had, only that today, the versions they invoke and their mediums dont go beyond the 4th dimension, and the original pure spirits dont accpet blood sacrifces.

Read more of this on my article titled THE FEMALE SPECIE IS NOT A GOAT, and on the one I wrote about RECONNECTING WITH YOUR ELEMENTAL SPIRITS.

This is one of the key reasons this magazine was founded: to wake Africans from their deep slumber and restore the true spiritual path that once guided our ancestors. This was the path that kept enemies at bay, inspired great innovations, and brought forth scientific knowledge that shaped the world as we know it.

But sadly, 400 years ago, this path was abandoned. In its place, the dark path took root, and that marked the beginning of our downfall. From slavery to colonization, from humiliation to mass slaughter—what hasn’t happened to us? Our world was torn apart, and to this day, it remains broken. Yet, many still refuse to awaken, blinded by greed, power, wealth, and selfishness.

Despite this, African spirituality in general remains a vibrant force, one that has endured colonization, religious invasions, and modern skepticism.

The Bottom Line: Faith, Belief, and the Search for Truth

Atheism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and traditional spirituality—all are paths seeking answers to existence. The key difference lies in where they place their faith: in a god, in science, in ancestors, or in nothing at all. Yet, no matter the path, belief remains the common denominator.

So, whether you kneel in prayer, chant in a temple, or scoff at the idea of divinity altogether, one thing is clear: everyone believes in something. And that, my friends, is what makes us all the same.

IN CONCLUSION

To grasp the concept of Nostrorum Societas, you first need to understand how this universe reacts to the energy we put out into the world. And to get that, you must first comprehend Energies, Emotions, and Symbolism, which we’ve already explored here on this very edition. After that, you’ll realize that the religions we follow are the main reason our thinking is often boxed in, limiting our growth and hindering the evolution of civilization. This “religious divide” makes it easy for certain regions, particularly Af’raka, to stay unaware of their true path and potential, while also fostering poverty and unnecessary conflicts.

For example, a Christian might feel uneasy working with a Muslim or a traditional practitioner, even if they’re family.

Religion divides us; but we must remember humanity first, and learn to come together in love and unity, because that is who we are: Same humans, all in one planet under the symbolism of one Sun.

Now, don’t get too comfortable—this is just a part of the whole, read ATHEISM Vs SPIRITUALITYto delve deeper into the subject and uncover THE TRUTH.
