About the Science
If there is one thing that sets Afro Metaphysics apart from other forms of metaphysical study and practice is that it is rooted in physics above all other factors. Metaphysics appears in myriad forms from holistic healing to cosmology and all approaches are valid for what they represent. Afro Metaphysics represents the approach that we are divine spiritual beings having a physical experience and that the secret to bringing forth our divinity into physical reality is to understand and practice the physics.
Why would a form of spirituality, meant exclusively for Black people, not start from something more churchy like meditation or worship? The reason is that as a people, we are not as attuned to how the science applies to our reality as we need to be. Looking to the science first allows us to create our destiny on purpose with a purpose. There is no shortage of Black folks who are religious and believe in an Almighty God. What we are much less aware of is that Almighty God is us, and that we can prove it for ourselves in our everyday lives.
Everything in physical existence obeys the Cosmic Equation:
E = mc²
Mathematics is a language as surely as is English or Swahili. That’s why mathematicians can literally read mathematical formulas and equations and translate them into words. In order for us to visualize our relationship to our Cosmic Mother, ourselves, and to the universe we inhabit, we have to become comfortable with the Cosmic Equation. We have to be able to read this sentence to say:
“Energy is all there is. Energy and matter are one and the same thing and are converted from one to the other according to the frequency of vibration of each.”
Energy vibrating at a slow enough frequency to become a material reality is still Energy with a capital E, retaining all the characteristics of its higher vibration. Every physical manifestation, whether it is a tree or rock or a beloved pet, appears in physical reality according to what its energy signature, its rate of vibration, causes it to be. Our energy signature causes us to be a human being, or more precisely, a God/dess being human.
What we do, according to our very nature as Divinity in human form, is use the workings of the Cosmic Equation to bring our mental creations into physical manifestation. We do this whether we understand or subscribe to the process or not. Therefore, Black Liberation Theology teaches that we learn to have faith in ourselves, our REAL selves, by witnessing ourselves creating on purpose with a purpose. We deliberately make matter from Energy.
It’s very easy to accept that Divinity works through us to bring good into the world. What’s difficult is to accept that Divinity works as us to do this. And because even God/dess works with the laws of physics on the material plane, learning what these laws are and beginning every endeavor from this starting point means that we can create whatever it is we will by obeying and cooperating with Cosmic Law.
Once we are convinced that everything that appears in our physical universe is a result of the operation of the the Cosmic Equation, we can then proceed to test how we, as human beings, have inherited the ability to create on purpose. This means that rather than leave our fates up to a capricious deity whose favor we may or may not have, and rather than feeling restricted and hopeless based on what is going on in the outer world, we can take control of our futures by the faculty of consciousness. Consciousness is that frequency of vibration that interfaces with both realms—the Divine and the mundane. Thus we add to the Cosmic Equation, between the E and the mc², the capital C that represents human consciousness.
E = C = mc² where
E = Energy
C = Consciousness,
m = matter and
c² = the vibrational frequency required for the transformation.
The Cosmic Equation is a continuous feedback loop. All the elements are equivalent and interchangeable. It is the simple blueprint for how creation on the physical plane takes place.
- Energy creates Consciousness
- Consciousness creates matter
- matter always returns to its pure form, Energy.
What this means for Black people in America, struggling under a fascist state, in the midst of a global pandemic where we are most at risk, is that we have nothing to lose by thinking outside the box and starting to see ourselves as, and believing ourselves to be, our own Savior. Just because we have never lived in a just society on these shores does not mean we are doomed to live that way forever. The answer is to have faith in ourselves, not some invisible pie-in-the-sky, Neptune-like figure or even our dead and gone ancestors to save us. The answer is to have the courage to test and prove for ourselves that by turning to and practicing the physics that governs the universe we inhabit, we can transform our existence.
We are not helpless. Nor should we feel hopeless. Using our understanding and practice of the Cosmic Equation we can support one another in creating an entirely new vision, therefore an entirely new future, for ourselves and our descendants. Toward this end, I would like to begin to offer some classes in metaphysics. Please comment below to tell me what formats and areas of study would most interest you. These might include meditation, visualization, master mind groups, discussion forums, or even self-study materials.
Inward, and interdimensionally, to the completion of our goals!
