The Path of Brotherhood
(Climb the Highest Mountain Series)
Mark Prophet; 
Prior to the "Fall" on the ancient continent of Lemuria, men and women lived blissfully in a golden-age paradise. Their souls evolved in love, peace and harmony. Everyone embodied the principle of being their brother's keeper. In the dark ages that occurred after the fall, souls lost their moorings, their sense of unity and oneness with God and became increasingly aware of there sense of separation and outer differences. today, many pay lip service to the principles of brotherly love while their minds are often full of condemnation, and they are seething with emotion against one another. Even some churches have become more engaged in the struggle with one another than in training men and women for the vicissitudes of life. In The Path of Brotherhood, Mark and Elizabeth Prophet demonstrate how brotherhood is possible, and crucial, today. They take a mystical look at the Twelve Tribes, the Twelve Apostles, the Golden-Age Family and spiritual keys to reaching world brotherhood, which includes the realization of a spirit of unity and cooperation in spiritual organizations.

The Alchemy of Happiness
Al-Ghazzali
"KNOW, O beloved, that man was not created in jest or at random, but marvelously made and for some great end. Although he is not from everlasting, yet he lives for ever; and though his body is mean and earthly, yet his spirit is lofty and divine. When in the crucible of abstinence he is purged from carnal passions he attains to the highest, and in place of being a slave to lust and anger becomes endued with angelic qualities."

Yurugu:
An African-Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior
Marimba Ani -
An Extraordinary Scholarly Work! The author states:" I started out wanting to know what could possess and entire race of people to participate in the most atrocious (sp) crime against humanity -- the four hundred year African slave trade--- I found the answer in "Yurugu". As it turns out, it makes perfect sense how Europeans could... The secret Europeans discovered early in their history is that culture carries rules for thinking, and that if you could impose your culture on your victims you could limit the creativity of their vision, destroying their ability to act with will and intent and in their own interest. The truth is that we are all "intellectuals," all potential visionaries.
This book discusses the evolution of that process of imposition as well as the characteristics of cultural beings who find it necessary to impose their will on others. It is not a simple process to explain, since the tools we need in order to dissect it have been taken from us through colonial miseducation. It is necessary to begin, therefore, with a painful weaning from the very epistemological assumptions that strangle us. The weaning takes patience and commitment, but the liberation of our minds is well worth the struggle.

African Openings to the Tree of Life
Erskine Peters - uncovers the universal essence and life generating principles of African religion, philosophy, mythology, folklore, rituals, and symbolism, ordered and crystallized. These principles pertain to one's total development, relating on different levels to the person, the family, the social group, the spiritual group, the neighborhood, the community, and work organization. These principles are intended to orient one toward understanding, seeing and living life as an on-going process.  The principles may be used to deal with, or simply reflect upon life in its many aspects. Certain principles when turned over in the mind and meditated upon may provide solutions to a vast range of problems. The second portion of the book is an invaluable, concise essay on the profound significance ideas and symbols have upon the building of cultures, civilizations and personalities.

 

African Religions & Philosophy
John S. Mbiti
More than just a monolithic scope of African beliefs and a short illustration, according to European critics, of pagan and heathen symbolism, African Religions and Philosophies is indeed a book worth reading. Not only, does it portray the elegance of African belief systems, but, it also portrays the intellectual and innate spiritual nature of African societies.

African Spirituality:
On Becoming Ancestors
Anthony Ephirim-Donkor

Focusing on the Akan people in Ghana as a resource for examining the overall conception of human development, this study is the first of its kind to concentrate on specific developmental processes of an African people from the ancestral world to the mundane and back to the ancestral world. From their beliefs concerning reincarnation, conception, birth, education, ethical existence and generativity, eldership, and death, the Akan people have developed a sequence of culturally defined life stage. This paradigm is predicated on a theory of personality that has its ontological basis in God (Nana Nyame) and the primordial woman and her children that formed the original matrilineal community, the ebusua. This structural model utilizes myths and concepts, rites, dreams, and elements that form the basis for human development among the Akan people. Applying the work of Erik Erikson and James Fowler, the author examines the vast, systematized, and holistic Akan concept of personality.

For this kind of health one must have a keen understanding of the body-mind-soul connection and, what it means to be truly healthy.
 

Egyptian Mystics:
Seekers of the Way
Moustafa Gadalla -
This book explains how Ancient Egypt is the origin of alchemy and present-day Sufism, and how the mystics of Egypt camouflage their practices with a thin layer of Islam.    The book also explains the progression of the mystical Way towards enlightenment, with a coherent explanation of its fundamentals and practices. It shows the correspondence between the Ancient Egyptian calendar of events and the cosmic cycles of the universe. It also provides the evidence that Ancient Egypt is the source of the Christian calendar of holidays (ex: Easter, Last Supper, Christmas, Lent, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Epiphany, Transfiguration, etc).  Moustafa is biased by neither Abrahamic religion nor Academic status, which in the study of ancient lands and its peoples puts him in the small minority, and as such his highlighting of the misdeeds these groups is laid clearly and factually with well documented research and common sense. There are those who consider his work controversial and Egyptian Mystics is not a book to placate history from an Abrahamized outlook, rather it is a document that shows a breathing culture who have maintained traditions, albeit surreptitiously, for thousands of years and more.

The Mysteries of Isis or the Science of Mythematics
Translated from the Original Mythic Symbols
Uniche
The lectures in this book are intended to: be a guide to a more elevated existence in the future; abolish the love and worship of the god dollar, which is the ruling power of the age and often leads to the total depravity of the heart followed by the most licentious practices. In this spirit the work was given a gratuitous circulation upon publication. Partial Contents: The Mysteries of Isis; Lecture I. Science of Mythematics; Lecture II. Adam and Eve; Lecture III. Cain and Abel; Lecture IV. Satan Let Loose and the Death of Abel; Lecture V. Death of Enoch; Lecture X. Pluto Beguiles a True Patriarch of the House of Shem; and Lecture XIV. The Gemini.

 

The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts

With its position at the crossroads of Africa, its status as a major Islamic nation, and continuing interest in its ancient monuments, Egypt makes for fascinating study. This volume provides an accessible, up-to-date overview of a society that greatly evolved, yet retains traces of attitudes and behaviors from the days of the Pharaohs.

 

 

Metu Neter Vol. 1:
The Great Oracle of Tehuti and the Egyptian System of Spiritual Cultivation
Ra Un Nefer Amen -
This is known as THE Book. This is the book that puts the science in African-centered spirituality. By revealing the essence of the oldest religion in the world, Ra Un Nefer Amen gives the practical keys to unlocking the "secrets" of the uni-verse. Of course, much will be missed by readers, because they will only read the book, but not apply its teachings. Reading a book about spirituality does not raise one's consciousness. Applying the teachings in Metu Neter Vol. I will.

Ancient Egyptian Mysticism and Its Relevance Today John Van Auken; John Van Auken puts forth more ideas regarding ancient myths surrounding the 'old' world. However, he proves that old does not mean less knowledge. Either you believe in your heart there is much more to ancient Egypt, or you scoff at the thought. For those that know the truth, read this work with an open heart, you won't be kept in the dark any longer.	Egyptian Mystics: Seekers of the Way Moustafa Gadalla - an impressive and groundbreaking contribution to an enlightened and enlightening study of the Egyptian contributions to Sufism and Alchemy in the ancient world. Iconoclastic Egyptologist Moustafa Gadalla provides an informed and informative examination and correlation between the Ancient Egyptian calendar of events and the cycles of the universe -- including the Egyptian contributions to the Christian calendar in terms of Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, and more.

Osiris: And the Egyptian Religion of Resurrection (Kegan Paul Library of Ancient Egypt) E. A. Wallis Budge - was Keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiques in the British Museum and author of numerous works. The legend of Osiris says he was murdered by his brother Seth and resurrected, with the aid of his wife Isis, thus becoming god of the underworld. The author believes he is one of the most important ancient Egyptian deities, with his origins in the Predynastic Era. He attempts to establish a relationship between the cult of Osiris and other African religions. In the first volume, he examines iconographies of Osiris in general and interprets Osiris as an ancestral spirit, judge of the dead, moon god and a bull god. In the second volume, the focus is on the funeral and burial practices, the idea of the Ka, and also the spread of Osiris and Isis to neighbouring lands.	Egyptian Yoga: The Philosophy of Enlightenment Muata Abhaya Ashby - Reginald Muata Ashby holds a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Religion. He is an independent researcher and practitioner of Egyptian, Indian and Chinese Yoga and studied Yoga under the supervision of Spiritual masters for over four years. This book is definitely one of the best additions to my library. Dr. Ashby gives a great analysis of the most complex knowledge system known to humankind. Not only does he know what he is talking about, but he is able to transform the wisdom of the ancients into the limited framework of the English  language. Very powerful. If one is seeking enlightenment, this book definitely provides a step in the right direction.
Metu Neter Vol. 2: Anuk Ausar, The Kamitic Initiation System Ra Un Nefer Amen - by Ra Un Nefer Amen I author and founder of the Ausar Auset Society.  When it come to the subject of initiations, the Secret Mystery Schools of Kemet are just as important as those secret sociaties of Sumeria, Babylon, and the Hebrews (Essenes, Order of Melchizedek). The pyramids were places were students learned about the sciences of alchemy, leviatation, mental powers, etc. Many men such as Djoser, Abraham, Moses, Yashua, Napoleon, and even Dr. Malachi Z. York (Neter: Aaferti Atum-Re, Amunnubi Rooakhptah) was initiated in the pyramids of Egypt.

Maat the 11 laws of God Ra Un Nefer Amen - In keeping with the tradition established with the Metu Neter Vols 1 and 2, the author delivers both devastating insight and clear instruction on how to make use of it in our lives. Six stars would not suffice. Simply a must for every home library. I would recommend everyone, especially people who are looking for spiritual answers as to why things are the way they are in the world, to read this book. Ra Un Nefer Amen does a fantastic job, again, to deliver even more insight into the Qabalistical Tree of Life and the true functions of our spirit. It's a truth seekers goldmine.	The Egyptian Philosophers: Ancient African Voices from Imhotep to Akhenaten Molefi Kete Asante - Since the 18th century, Greece has been heralded as the cradle of Western civilization, with Plato, Pythagoras, and Thales touted as the world's first philosophers. But as Temple University scholar Molefi Kete Asante writes in this slim, spectacular book, those men all studied in ancient Egypt.  An attempt to recover and reconstitute the lost origins of the myths and mysteries, types and symbols, religion and language, with Egypt for the mouthpiece and Africa as the birthplace.
Ancient Egyptian Proverbs: Mystical Wisdom Teachings and Meditations Muata Abhaya, Dr. Ashby - This Book Contains Over 450 Ancient Egyptian Proverbs, Wisdom Teachings And Meditations Fully Ilustrated With Hieroglyphic Text And Symbols. "When The Student Is Ready, The Master Will Appear" Is One Of The Proverbs In The Book... So If You Are Reading This..You Are Ready For The Master to Appear. This Book Is The Beginning.	The Ankh: African Origin of Electromagnetism Nur Ankh Amen - For those people interested in the historical significane and powerful meaning of the ankh, as well as its scientific properties this book would be great reading for you. My one suggestion to any reader would be, keep an open mind. It is not a book rooted in the status quo, by any means. Some of the scientific evidence is truly intriguing but if you are not accustomed to reading about electromagnetism and the properties of it, then this might be a little hard to follow at times.
Historical Deception: The Untold Story of Ancient Egypt Moustafa Gadalla - When ancient Egyptian history is compared with the Biblical stories that came later, and also compared with Greek history and mythology, the evidence is clear. In the book, one will discover the truth about fundamental entities such as the Ten Commandments, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Hebrews in Egypt, Biblical passages, and the major impact of Egypt on today's societies. Read with an open mind what the author had researched and uncovered about the original and Biblical stories of Jesus, Moses, David, and read about Ausar (Osiris), Aset (Isis), Heru (Horus) and Set (Satan).	Key to the Hebrew-Egyptian Mystery in the Source of Measures J. Ralston Skinner

Meditation: The Ancient Egyptian Path to Enlightment Muata Abhaya Ashby - Many people do not know about the rich history of meditation practice in Ancient Egypt.

Egyptian Divinities: The All Who Are THE ONE Moustafa Gadalla - A "must" for anyone intriqued by Ancient Egypt -- or anyone not afraid to think out of the box. Gadalla's chiming logic, straightforward language, and demystifying graphics make the ineffable seem obvious. As accessible as it is brilliant. Do your consciousness a favor and read this book.   Freemasonry: Ancient Egypt and the Islamic Destiny Mustafa El-Amin - This book is very powerful reading. Every African-American should read this very informative bit of information. It will cause you to ponder what has been going on for years.
Ancient Egyptian Mysticism and Its Relevance Today John Van Auken - John Van Auken puts forth more ideas regarding ancient myths surrounding the 'old' world. However, he proves that old does not mean less knowledge. Either you believe in your heart there is much more to ancient Egypt, or you scoff at the thought. For those that know the truth, read this work with an open heart, you won't be kept in the dark any longer.	Historical Deception: The Untold Story of Ancient Egypt Moustafa Gadalla - I recommend this book to every person who would rather learn from evidence, than from stories. While religious stories from the distant past often invoke awe and deep spirituality for a lot of people, these same people should not necessarily ignore the sources of these sacred stories. In this book, the author does not tell Christians to stop believing in Christ, nor does he tell those who are inspired by the life stories of Jesus Christ, Moses and David to stop being inspired. What he does in the book is reveal information that has been deliberately hidden by those who do not want people to know from where their deep spirituality and beliefs originated. Egypt.
The Hidden Properties of Matter Muata Abhaya, Dr. Ashby For the spiritual aspirant and those who are serious about learning, I highly recommend it. It's written very well and easy to understand.	The Secret Books of the Egyptian Gnostics: An Introduction to the Gnostic Coptic Manuscripts Discovered at Chenoboskion Jean Doresse - Historically the Gnostic Texts were found just a few years after the discovery of the famous Nassene “Dead Sea Scrolls” of Qumrân that had caused such a sensation. Many scholars now agree that the Coptic Gnostic Texts are even more valuable, in that they reveal the essence of a religion that Christianity tried to obliterate—and whose oddly traced images and message of spiritual liberation is asserting itself today in the new form of MODERN GNOSTICISM.

Djinns, Stars and Warriors:
Mandinka Legends from Pakao, Senegal (African Sources for African History, 5)
Matt Schaffer
This book contains some of the finest examples of Mandinka oral tradtions ever published, both in English and the original Mandinka, along with a chapter of Mandinka Arabic script texts translated into English. As a complement to the author's ethnography of the Mandinka published in 1980/1987, this book presents legends about jihad leaders, witchcraft, local Islam, cosmology, the founding of villages, great leaders among women, notable social institutions and other significant people and places. The Pakao country of southern Senegal developed into a West African center of pilgrimage. This book reveals the linguistic richness of Mandinka as an African literature in its own right and contributes to broader Mande studies. Since Mandinka figured prominently in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, this book also lays a basis for future work by the author on a cultural legacy of Mandinka in the New World.

In Sorcery's Shadow:
A Memoir of Apprenticeship Among the Songhay of Niger
by Paul Stoller, Cheryl Olkes
For me, the book provides more evidence for the hypothesis that the "Western paradigm" is just one of many, and not that empowering at that. If we start to tinker with our paradigm by "apprenticing" to cultures based on hard, merciless and pragmatic obsession with spiritual power (such as the Songhai) we are in for a tough ride.  The Songhay have once possessed the largest empire in African history; their formidable magician-king Sunni Ali created an elaborate and effective administrative system extending all the way up to Timbuktu and even Morrocco and, as Stoller shows in this book, Sunni Ali's memory is still very much alive in contemporary Niger.
