I too am just getting my feet wet in this ancient concept of higher consciousness/awareness in [Ch]Kemet thought of African God Consciousness.

You are correct in asking how to discuss this works. 
  • Read the whole book w/o skipping pages.
  • Be able to define the Tree of Life; characteristics of each branch [+ and -]
  • Know how to use the Tree of Life as a guide to making decisions
  • Know the 6 acts of creation
  • Know the story of Ausar/Horus/Osiris
  • Know 5 principles of governing hue[man] kind
  • Know the three types of people
  • Passages:  The States of Initiation
I'm still reading like you, but this is a start niceone.gif

This is therefore a little background on Ra UN Neter Amen--the author -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra_Un_Nefer_Amen

 

Ra Un Nefer Amen is the founder of the Ausar Auset Society, a Pan-African religious organization dedicated to providing Afrocentric based spiritual training to people of African descent. Trained originally as a concert pianist, composer, and music theoretician, Amen passed on opportunities in the music industry to devote time to the spiritual education and uplift of African people. To accomplish this goal, he has written and published several books on the subject of ancient Egyptian philosophy and spiritual culture, most notably Metu Neter Vol. 1 & 2 and the Metu Neter Oracle. Amen's unique insight into the spiritual philosophies of various ancient civilizations has made him a well recognized and respected author on the subject of spiritual cultivation. He is a leading authority and publisher of works dealing with ancient Egypt (Kemet) and its spiritual and cultural foundation of traditional Africa.


Ra Un Nefer Amen was born Rogelio Alcides Straughn on January 6, 1944 in the Central American country of Panama. His initial exposure to African culture came through his visits to the island of San Miguel where many enslaved Africans had escaped to after being brought to Panama in the 18th century by Spaniards to work in the gold mines. These Africans of primarily East and Central African descent have been able maintain their culture intact to date. Amen attended Panama's Conservatory of Music when he was six years old. He arrived in the United States on May 30, 1960 to continue his formal musical training and graduated from the Brooklyn High School for Boys in Brooklyn, New York in 1961. Upon graduating, Amen continued his formal training at Julliard.


Ra Un Nefer Amen currently leads an international following as the Shekhem Ur Shekhem (Chief Priest and King) of the Ausar Auset Society headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. In 1984 he was selected by the Ashanti King of Agogo, Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong, to host the first Durbar (royal reception) for an African king ever held outside of Africa. Thus, in October 1985 the Shekhem Ur Shekhem Ra Un Nefer Amen hosted the Durbar for Asantehene Otumfuo Nana Opoku Ware II. In November of 1985, Amen attended the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the Ashanti Confederacy, at the invitation of the Asantehene in Kumasi, Ghana, West Africa where he was enstooled as an Omanhene of the Ashanti on November 15th, 1985. During this visit Amen was also presented the Epoh Stool officially establishing an alliance between the Kingship of the Ashanti and the Kingship of Ausar Auset Society. He was further conferred the position of Paramount King under the title of Odeneho (King of Kings). Additionally, Amen was enstooled by Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong as co-ruler of Agogo State in Ghana on November 18, 1985. In his role as cultural liaison between African-Americans and the National Ghanaian House of Chiefs, the Shekhem Ur Shekhem, along with the Ghanaian community in the United States have sponsored Durbars for several other Kings of Africa, including Togbi Adeladza V, King of the Ewe; Nii Aumgi V, King of the Ga; Nana Adodankwa III, King of Okuapemman, and others. In 1986, Ra Un Nefer Amen was given a formal reception by President Jerry Rawlings of Ghana as an official guest to the dedication of the Nkrumah Mausoleum Memorial in Accra, Ghana. In 1991, Amen was the official guest of the Oni of Ife (Chief Priest of the Yoruba), Oba Okunade S. Olubuse in Nigeria, where he was the sole African-American dignitary to the first Ile Ife Reconstruction Project. He was also received by the Emir of Kano, His Royal Majesty Alhaji Ado Bayero.

When you mention 'The Tree of Life' are you reffering to the Kabbalah?

Metu Neter 1 and 2 are good introductions to Kmt.  However, as you learn more, you will realize that some of Ra Un Nefer Amen's interpretations are incorrect and others are based upon a mixture of Far Eastern (Indian) religions and practices.  To be fair, Ra Un Nefer Amen says on his website that his religion is a mixture of Caanan, Indus-Kush, and Kemetic beliefs.  It's a good start.  He gives a good description of Kemetic meditation in both books.

My website should be up and running in about a month.  One of the services we will be offering are correspondence courses in Kemetic Spirituality.  Not just the significance of the statues and the Mtu Ntr, but also how to incorporate the practices and philosophies into your everyday life in the same way that our ancestors there did.  I managed to find a very reliable importer of all of the things that one would need to perform prayers, offerings, and ceremonies, including some very choice Somalian Frankincense resin and powder and Ethiopian damar.

When I refer to the 'Tree of Life" I refer to what is inside the books entitled "Metu Neter".

Is the Kabalah apart of the Metu Neter?

It took a while for me to get here, but I'm here now. And I look forward to hearing more about your website w/all the Kemetic explanations of Metu Neter.

I was gonna ask you, the tree of life crops up in quite a few teachings and means diffrent things in diffrent cultures. I was hoping that you knew about it being in KMT, wouldn't be the only thing the Jewish mystics took from there.

My website should be up and running in about a month. 

Cool man, let us know when its up. I've been on a few sites teaching about KMT but most are pretty crap and from a european perspective;

http://www.kemet.org/home.html


I'll post up their 'lessons' if you want.


What will you be doing?

The Tree of Life has 11 laws not 10 as in the Kaballah, therefore--No I do not refer to the Kaballah. blktype

@Great post. Metu Netur is my bible and has taken me about 4 years to read properly. Probably one of the most complex things I have read if you really want to get your head around it. For example working out the divisions of spirit on one system eg division and types of man with another.

Yeah, I got them in about two weeks ago... some deep stuff man! Its amazing. I like the way he breaks down the gods who share the same attributes. Theres more information on two pages than in a whole western book on egypt! His break down on the way we use the right side of our brain more so than our left was a good one... always wondered why the Egyptians used heiroglyphs over what would be writing and alpha numerics. Didn't think that using images for writing would be better for creative thinking.

Found out about the authors Ausar Auset Society, they're based in America in diffrent states and have a few websites;

http://www.rootsandrooted.org/ausar_auset.htm

^^General info

http://www.aasorlando.org/aboutaas.htm - http://www.aasorlando.org/ 

http://www.aaschicago.org/

http://www.thenilepa.com/articles.php

^ Their shop.

A lot more intresting than the NWBNs. I'm gonna write to them and ask if they're considering setting up in the UK and other places.
