1. What is the Earth Center?
The Earth Center is an organization made up of smaller organizations all with
the goal of preserving and promoting indigenous culture from the Kemetic
civilization, the first human civilization. It is made up of the M'TAM School
of Kemetic Philosophy and Spirituality, Firefly Productions and Ankhkasta
Natural Healing. The Earth Center provides the seeker a greater understanding
of the existence as well as the tools to be an asset to humanity.
Top
2. What does M'TAM mean?
M'TAM means the Earth. It refers to the original education system before the
intellectual field was corrupted by political agendas.
The M'TAM School of Initiation provided by the Earth Center is in the tradition
of the "Mystery Schools" of Kemet (Ancient Indigenous World). It is in the same
tradition as the initiation that the Pharaoh and the priesthood went/go
through.
Top
3. Why is the Earth Center all-inclusive when the culture sees the
importance in protecting the knowledge? Why do you teach people of other races?
Yes it is true that the knowledge is kept secret in order to protect it from the
invaders and political forces, however, spreading the knowledge is just as
necessary as protecting it. The knowledge is there to protect and preserve all
of humanity, not just a select group of human beings. It does not belong to any
one division of humanity. The Earth Center is not a political organization and
we don't involve ourselves in the emotional politics of racism.
Top
4. Are you associated with other Kemetic organizations and teachers?
We are not associated with other organizations. This is a traditional initiation
that is taught in Kemet; Our education is coming from direct lineage within the
Kemetic culture that has maintained the knowledge and values of the Kemetic
teachings.
Top
5. If you are so concerned about helping humanity, why is this
information so hard to find?
For the last two thousand years until recently it was kept away from the
corruption of the invaders and political agendas of the modern world. It was
only accessible to those who were willing to humble themselves to
Merita (Africa), which at the time was portrayed as having nothing
valuable for humanity. It has recently been brought forward to the rest of the
world because the elders of the culture decided that the invaders have
presented nothing but destruction to humanity and something must be done. Any
honest seeker will eventually cross the path of the Earth Center.
Top
6. What kind of initiation is this?
It is a spiritual initiation into the values, traditions and culture of the
first human civilization. It's been constructed to bring those trapped in the
modern colonial systems and paradigm back into the traditional paradigm of
their ancestors.
Top
7. How long does the initiation last?
The first level lasts around 10 months however initiatic study lasts a lifetime.
One should notice that we have spent at least fifteen years being educated by
the political systems which have proven themselves to be destructive to the
Earth and the human intellect. It would seem only fitting to spend at least
that amount of time learning the true nature of the universe.
Top
8. What is the difference between religion and spirituality?
Religion and spirituality are two different things. Religion comes as a means to
control the masses of people for political agendas. The word religion comes
from the Greek word Ligere, which means to hold back or to bind. Spirituality
is the study and application of the unseen forces of the existence along with
understanding energy and its relation to our existence.
Top
9. How come I can't lead a spiritual life on my own?
Becoming a spiritual individual requires a lot more than just proclaiming one's
self to be so. Learning about the "spiritual" aspects of the existence takes
time, discipline and diligence. One will always need to be guided by an entity
more knowledgeable than oneself. For example, one does not become a teacher
without first being a student. In the field of spirituality, you must be
trained just as in any other profession.
Top
10. Why do you charge? Why do the classes cost so much?
The value of learning Kemetic values and education is priceless. Unfortunately,
the classes need to have tuition due to the costs incurred to run the Earth
Center (gas, light, water etc.) It would not be realistic to offer the
education without attempting to sustain the place where in the values of our
ancestors is being taught.
Top
11. What is the benefit of learning the first language of humanity?
It is the language from which all other languages are derived. It provides a
greater understanding of the modern languages by learning many of the original
root words. It is in this language that all sacred scrolls are written. It is
in this language that the true history and destiny of humanity is written. It
is the language the Divine World uses to communicate with us. It provides the
student with a more disciplined mind because of the necessity of having
sentences that are conceptually concise. It provides more mental stability.
Certain sounds made in the Medu increase brain function. There are many more
too numerous to list.
Top
12. Do you all use any books to study with, The Book of the Dead?
What books do you recommend?
While the popular hieroglyphic books are decent study supplements, they are all
so full of inaccuracies and lack of cultural understanding that focusing on the
books can lead to a great deal of confusion. Due to this issue, we do not
subscribe to one book with full authority; they must all be read with a grain
of salt.
Top
13. Do you study the 42 Confessions of Ma'at?
No, we live by the original 77 commandments also known as the Great Book of
Divine Ordinances or Code of Human Behavior. The 42 Confessions of Ma'at and
the 10 commandments come from the Code of Human Behavior. In ancient times our
ancestors would write the commandments they abided by before their death and
bury it with them to remind them what they would need to work on in their next
reincarnation. Modern Egyptologist found a list of 42 of these in one of our
ancestor's tombs. This is why the Confessions of Ma'at read, "I have not"….
Top
14. What are the Book of Divine Ordinances/77 commandments?
It was a list of commandments given to humanity after we decided that our agenda
on Earth was to mimic the Divine World. They were given to us by the Divine
World to assist us in achieving this goal.
Top
15. Can the commandments realistically be followed in times like
these?
Most certainly and must be followed in any times. Even through worse times we
must follow the commandments. That is how we will improve humanity's situation.
Top
16. Are we directly related to Gods? Are we Gods?
We are the descendents of the sons of Gods. We are not Gods. It is our goal as
humans to come as close to Gods as possible.
Top
17. What's the point of being good if you don't believe in heaven
or hell?
One acts good because of the results. Confidence comes from doing the right
thing. Right action leads to the Divine World, it is part of the challenge in
achieving our goal. We understand that we are all writing our own history and
it is that for which our heart will be judged.
Top
18. Why is the ancestral spirit valued so much within indigenous
spirituality? How do I communicate with my ancestors?
Ancestors provide the link between the human world and the divine world. We
realize that the blood in our bodies is not ours, it was given to us by our
ancestors and soon we will have to pass it on to our descendents. Therefore to
honor and validate our ancestors we are ultimately honoring ourselves. It must
be understood that not all dead relatives are ancestors. One must raise their
dead relatives to the level of an ancestor through offerings and prayer. This
enables the ancestor to have a positive influence on the life of his/her
descendent. After purifying the body (ablutions) one can talk to one's
ancestors and make offerings to them. Also one can hear their ancestors' needs
through bayuali readings.
Top
19. Why do we have to do ablutions?
One must be pure in the mind, body and "spirit" before approaching anything
associated with the divine. Our idea of spirituality has been so corrupted
today, now we admit that we should shower to go for a job interview but we
don't think we should be clean to pray. Besides cleaning oneself physically
there is a process one goes through for spiritual cleansing known as ablutions.
Top
20. If Kemet (Ancient civilization accompanying Egypt) was so great
and powerful why did it fall?
Everything within the existence is subject to the forces of good and evil,
construction and destruction, yin and yang originally known as Heru/Set. It is
the nature of evil to affect good no matter how high and for however long the
achievements of good have been. The invasion of Kemet was a very long process
starting before the current era (BCE). It was very hard because of the strength
and power of the spiritual system of the people. The invaders noticed this and
aimed to separate the people from their spirituality. This was a long process.
The modern Gregorian calendar was imposed on the people to offset the
traditional spiritual days. Offerings were thrown out of sync with the proper
time and place in the universe and people were separated from their ancestors,
which caused an immense decline in power. This can be seen today as people are
moving farther and farther away from the values and structure left to them by
their ancestors for the modern religions and ideologies of the political
systems. However the fact that The Earth Center exists and the knowledge has
been preserved in tact until today by traditional societies around the
continent raises the question can it really be said that Kemet fell?
Top
21. I have heard of the Dogon and I have heard of Kemet but I
thought they were two different things. How are they related? How can he
(Master Naba) be both?
There are misconceptions surrounding both the Dogon and Kemet. Kemet is a
territory much larger than just Ancient "Egypt" it is determined by value and
spiritual system. The Dogon are made up of certain bloodlines whose job it was
to protect the highest knowledge of the universe. The bloodlines are dispersed
through Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger.
Top
22. What is the difference between this and a cult?
At the Earth Center there is no one making decisions for you, the knowledge is
presented and you decide what you want to do with it. The Earth Center is
inclusive vs. cults which are exclusive both in its membership and what it
exposes its members to. The Earth Center urges members to strengthen themselves
through exposure to the natural world. The Earth Center teaches you about
original spirituality in which you are obligated to honor and validate your own
ancestors (ultimately yourself), one will not ask you to validate "my"
ancestors, that would be "my" job.
Top
23. How does one not lose their individuality in a learning
situation like this?
It is a modern corruption for humans to want to hold on and value their
individual desires rather than focus on what is in the best interest of
humanity and the planet.
Top
24. Where does Jesus come into this?
There are no religious individuals who are within Kemetic Spirituality.
Christianity is only one culture's approach to religion. This culture ended up
conquering the world with this religion so it has been adopted by the majority
of people in the US. However it should be emphasized that Christianity is a
very young religion in comparison to the depth of human history. Christianity
is 2000 years old and has already lead humanity into slavery and the
destruction of the world. Everything that exists must have a history. Before
2000 years ago Jesus and Yahweh were non-existent and humanity was in a more
favorable situation spiritually. The Kemetic Civilization alone lasted for more
than 140,000 years, during which there was less pollution and destruction of
the world, less hate and fear amongst people, etc.
Top
25. If this is the root of all indigenous knowledge why do other
tribes have different Creator Gods?
There are many corruptions of the original cosmogony (creation story), however
some tribes have completely different valid creator Gods. Depending on the part
of the world they are located they may have adopted to worship the local
deities of the area or deities that would assist them in dealing with the
environment they were in. Depending on the Gods they've adopted they may be
worshiping or honoring the Creator Gods of that particular God. The Earth
Center presents to the public the creator Gods that have to do with the
creation/becoming of human beings. There are many other creator Gods depending
on the creation one is talking about.
Top
26. What religion is this associated with?
The Earth Center is a spiritual center that teaches a greater understanding of
what is required to live a spiritual life. It far predates all religions, as
well as the practice of choosing to honor one God over others (monotheism).
Top
27. How come they portray the Egyptians as light skinned people?
The current faces of the people called Egyptians are not the people who
inhabited the area millennia ago. The original people of Kemet are Black
people. Kem actually means Black. The culture and its people changed with the
invaders over the last 2700 years: the Hykos (Asians), Greeks and Arabs.
Top
28. Where did the people who possessed this knowledge go after the
invasions?
They migrated West to the bush in West Africa. In many cases they migrated to
places that were inaccessible to the invaders.
Top
29. Why are Pharaohs portrayed killing invaders and having
captives/slaves if they followed the commandments?
The pharaoh's did not have slaves, they had servants but the current
archeological system does not recognize workers as servants and they often
misinterpret the true culture of Kemet due to looking at it through their own
western civilization.
Top
30. Do any leaders in Africa live this lifestyle?
Yes, the most powerful and important leaders in Africa live this lifestyle, but
most don't know them or this lifestyle. Most don't know that there are two
Africa's; the colonial Africa and the traditional kingships of the continent.
It is the traditional system that is legitimate and has leaders that follow
this lifestyle.
Top
31. Is this connected to Voodou or Yoruba?
Yes the origins of these spiritual systems can be found within the Kemetic
Initiation System.
Top
32. There is documentation of different tribes being warrior tribes
and warring between each other?
Yes all human beings are subject to the spirit of evil. Also, the invaders and
colonial powers have done a good job throughout history to cause dissention
between tribes.
Top
33. Why did the Gods choose the particular area of Africa/Egypt?
We don't ask the Gods why? This is trying to force their actions and decisions
into our small human perceptions and understanding. When humanity is looked at
as one family rather than separate races and nations this question seems
obsolete. Remember the Gods see us as the human race not the black race, the
white race, the yellow race, the red race, the brown race of humans.
Top
34. How did humanity and culture spread from the Nile Valley to the
rest of the world?
It was the obligation of priests to travel to different parts of the world to
bring the knowledge of purification, spirituality, and the knowledge of the
universe to those communities.
Top
35. If it's a secret, why do other scholars teach "hieroglyphics"?
They do not fully understand what it is they are teaching. They are not teaching
the secret aspect of it. It is the initiation that is a secret not the
practical writing part of it. However even within the language that is
presented there are many inaccuracies.
Top
36. Why would I get involved with a power that knows no
forgiveness, what if I offend it?
It just shows you the discipline required for someone truly on a spiritual path.
