@DavidHundeyin Also China is still rooted in its ancient spiritual beliefs and philosophies. Anyone who has traveled around the country and lived there can see it. It is just they developed their beliefs to be more practical and much less reliant on miracles.
@DavidHundeyin I agree with the premise, however you are describing China's cultural revolution and the death toll was estimated to be around 2 million people. US is a hotbed for evangelical movements as the puritan movement were its founders. But the US separated Church from State.
@animolenikun This thread is basically the plotline for most sci fi fantasy films. The sole hero fighting an evil empire. George Lucas took this concept when he created Star Wars. Light side vs dark side. Dark is a shortcut to power. Light is a slow grind but eventually beats the Dark.
GOOD MORNING MESSAGE FROM IFÁ
Bí ẹni bájí kí ẹni kí onílé.
Tí ènìyàn bájí kí o kí ọlọ́nà.
Ifá ni onílé.
Èṣù Odara ni olónà.
If you wake up in the morning, you should praise Onile (house owner).
If you wake up in the morning, you should praise Olónà (road owner).
@funshographix I need to get that Assata Shakur book one day. I have living family members who were members of BLA & BP. The history of these groups in the mid 60s in US has completely been hidden.
Also try: “The Ifa/Orisha religious tradition: A New Global Perspective.” by Ifa Karade
Ogun: Ogun is the Orisa of single purposed focus, strong foundations, and of metalwork. Over time his association with all things metal has also made him the Orisa of cars, trains, and airplanes. He governs the work of metalsmiths, mechanics, and doctors.
@Violettaonpoint The natives had their own spiritual beliefs too. America was colonized. Europe’s strength was their navy and military. They didn’t expect God to do all the work. In America their is a culture of Guns and the Bible.
@Violettaonpoint They fueled the fire to tribal rivalries, and bribed leaders, they refused to be slaves and were genocided. Now many people outside of US don’t even know the Native Americans exist. They were christianized and killed and many still live in poverty today.
The chameleon is clever cause it can adapt in any environment it finds itself in order to survive. Life moves on. Stagnancy is not good for survival. Learning from the past in order to develop in the present is crucial. Without this, communities crumble.
