By Spiritual Means Necessary

The Kemetic Tree of Life represents a pattern of spiritual cultivation which enables one to envision and manifest the different faculties of the indwelling divinity and become a vehicle to allow God’s manifestation on earth.

0- Amen- This is not a faculty it is THE undifferentiated peace that is our true self. This is why it is not on the tree of life but far above it. Every religion in the world after their prayer incantates in some form the name of Amen. Who is the God of gods. We must eventually reconnect with Amen by using the Tree of Life to cultivate our spirit, through existence and lifetimes of unrelenting pursuit.

1- The 1st faculty on the Tree of Life represents Ausar, or the omnipresent faculty. This faculty represents the oneness of the universe. The basic particle from which everything is existence originates. It enables us not to separate anything from ourselves and to experience the true self. The one self. Ausar is the first tool that amen uses to govern existence. Represented by Imhotep, Christ, Buddha and other scribes.

2- The 2nd faculty on the Tree of life represents Tehuti, or the omniscient faculty. This faculty is the all-knowing faculty that has a series of 9 axioms. The Tehuti faculty enables us to manifest the indwelling divinity and to be able to resolve any problem. It is knowledge without thought tapping into the intuition or indwelling divinity. Unlike Sebek that is based on belief Tehuti is based on truth It is the second tool that Amen uses to govern existence.

3- The 3rd faculty on the Tree of Life represents Seker, or the omnipotent faculty of the spirit. Seker is above Het-Heru because Seker enables one to be the divine by understanding that beauty lies within and being in synch with our destiny. This omnipotence is the 3rd tool that Amen uses to govern existence.

4- The 4th faculty on the Tree of Life represents Ma’at, or the divine law. This law is represented by 42 principles [of Ma’at]. Ma’at is a female faculty that represents the stage in which we no longer require guilt and conscience because we observe the law of heaven out of love and therefore the Ab(heart) is lighter than the feather and the Khu (spirit) is eternal.

5- The 5th Faculty on the Tree of Life represents HeruKhuti, or divine justice. This faculty establishes justice in the world, not by revenge or destruction, but instead by re-establishing the laws governing existence (MA’AT). Divine justice within our being consists of making peace, balance and harmony get achieved and restoring all to god’s order.

6- The 6th faculty on the Tree of Life represents Heru, or the will. This faculty is birthed by Auset and is beyond any animal desire. The will is successful only when the true self or indwelling divinity is victorious over desires, emotions or lusts which are contrary to the self. Heru is the Pa-heru (pharaoh) or in other words it means that your moral code is in concord with the divine essence and you are god on earth pa-heru.

7- The 7th faculty on the Tree of Life represents Het-Heru, or the imagination faculty. This faculty operates to create certain behavioral patterns. It must also be programmed because it is in this faculty that we could possibly perceive our happiness as being contrary to the will of the indwelling divinity and therefore get stuck on a low level of the Tree.

8- The 8th faculty on the Tree of Life represents Sebek or the intellect faculty. Most people in Western society can only achieve Sebek. Intellect for the mere sake of intellect does not serve the purpose of the indwelling divinity but of Set. Sebek is an idea or belief based on programming. Sebek is only a correctly applied faculty in commune with Tehuti the omniscient inuitive faculty. sebek is based on beliefs and can open or close the way to truth.

9- The 9th faculty on the Tree of Life represents Auset (Isis), The Goddess. This faculty is necessary to go into trance and reprogram your being. Auset is the vital part of reconstructing Ausar but first she must go through sorrows and give birth to Heru (the will). her determinants are devotion, receptivity and sacrifise. she is the source of trance and passion.

10- The 10th faculty on the Tree of Life is Geb or the Father Earth. This faculty contains the electromagnetic body the khaibit and the molecular body the khab. the life force is governed by proper breath. It also includes the 5 organ systems notably the heart/small intestine, the lungs/large intestine, the liver/gall bladder, the spleen/stomach and the liver/bladder.

It Was Not Easy But It Was Worth It

WHY WE LEFT THE ECONOMIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS

“Sometimes - history needs a push.” Vladimir Ilich Lenin
By joining the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) we saw it as a medium to maximize radical politics and to bring the message of revolution to the people. To this end we hoped to raise radical consciousness so as to make revolution. We saw the EFF as a hopeful coalition of left forces with the potential for unity in action without abandoning the freedom to criticize any force(s) within the movement especially those represented in its leadership.
When EFF leadership subsequently began to corrupt the movements foundational principles, we urged them to stop! We demanded that they account to our people who voted for the EFF! The movements deviation from its foundational principles were clear in the following respects:
1. Constitution
.
At the National People's Assembly (NPA) in December 2014, we witnessed in horror as the EFF constitution was violated. We saw how EFF leaders blatantly went against the provisions of the EFF Constitution so as to elect the leaders that Julius Malema wanted in all leadership positions, so that the EFF can be made to serve their selfish individual interests and that of white capital. We witnessed how Malema's wishes became the wishes of the people. We watched too how the voting choices of Malema served as an instruction to delegates on who they were compelled to vote for! This is how Malema ensured that only his loyalists were elected to the CCT.
2. Political Thought
The political line of the EFF, Marxism-Leninsm-Fanonism, which effectively locates the black liberation project at the core of EFF's liberation efforts has been completely liquidated by the EFF leadership. Leadership has since coming to parliament abandoned the EFF's political line and ideological perspectives. We have seen open attempts to appropriate radical Black Consciousness and Pan Africanism into bourgeois state power and to this end relegate the black liberation project to the periphery. This effectively indicates the containment of the liberation project within the anti black colonial project. Also there was a clear understanding that EFF will use parliament to fight for the people and not to enrich politicians! We understood that EFF will engage in elections and mass action at the same time and to this end EFF will lead a land repossession movement in the country. The point in this form of engagement was that people must not be made to wait for parliament and laws for people to get back, inter alia, their land! Our people have waited for 21 years already! However EFF is not using parliament for the reasons it had initially declared. With the core issue of agitation for EFF MP's being the limited demand that President Zuma must "PayBackTheMoney" spent on upgrades at Nkandla failing which he must step down, participation in parliament is a far cry from what EFF had intended it for. Besides, this demand suggests that the problem is President Zuma and not the ANC and hence feeds into the neo liberal agenda of reproducing the same anti black system under a new president.
3. Purges
We have witnessed how Fighters have been purged from the movement without any charges or proper procedures being followed. All Leaders and Fighters that question procedure in the EFF have been silenced. The movements intellectual capacity has been deliberately stunted by EFF leadership. Intellectuals who challenge leadership's compradoreial tendencies are isolated and purged. It is now a crime to challenge backward ideas in the EFF. EFF is no longer a politically dynamic movement.
4. Land
When we joined the EFF we did so with a clear appreciation and understanding that there shall be, amongst other non negotiable cardinal pillars, land expropriation without compensation and equitable distribution of this resource amongst our people.
When EFF first came to Parliament it condemned the apartheid land thieves. It also offered its 6 percent proportion of the national vote to the ANC to amend the constitution so as to realize "land expropriation without compensation”.
At the December 2014 EFF National Peoples Assembly we witnessed the beginning of EFF leader Julius Malema's deviation from cardinal pillar 1 when he diluted the land demand by calling for the occupation of “unoccupied land" only.
In April 2015 Malema met with the white leaders of the agricultural capitalist class in Stellenbosch and completely sold out the land principle of EFF, being the demand for land expropriation without compensation, and settled for expropriation of “non-productive land” only. He told these white agricultural leaders that as long as "it’s a productive farm, we don’t have to interfere with the production on that piece of land” and that when there is a part of the land“ which is not used for agriculture purposes, we would be having a problem. All we are saying is the land must be used. It must not lie idle.” In so selling out Malema destroyed the urgency of resolving the land question radically. This was not in line with what the EFF founding manifesto requires, that is, that all land shall be expropriated without compensation. It was also contrary to the EFF land policy which suggests that land is based on the anticolonial logic that all land in South Africa is stolen property.
5. Corruption
We have also seen how Cardinal pillar number 7 which speaks of an "open, accountable, corrupt free government and society without fear of victimisation by the state agencies" has been violated by those who consider EFF funds as being their personal funds. To this end when EFF members tried to hold EFF leaders accountable, they were victimized, called names and threatened. We have witnessed EFF leaders using all sorts of threats to instill fear in those who dare to challenge them!
6. Militia Gang
EFF has been turned into a militia gang and now operates as such. The movement has seen fighters being commanded and thugs being hired to deal with members who challenge leadership. There is a compradoreial leadership in place with all the bourgeois mechanisms in tact to keep them in power. They call upon members to use violence against those who dare to question them.
7. ANC Culture
The period starting from the NPA of December 2014 is marked by the rise of ANC aligned leadership within the EFF. In this period we witnessed and in fact experienced the full reactionary burden of the ANC culture, sponsored by the Malema leadership, that was taking root in the movement. This culture was evident in the way, for example, that: "ghost" branches were established throughout the movement; delegates were chosen to attend the NPA; candidates were chosen and published on preferred slates, and; draft positions on the important questions of "expropriation of land" and "nationalization of mines" were stripped of race theory for obvious settlement within the neo liberal agenda of the ANC. This culture of practice inspired by EFF leadership is not ideologically innocent and must be viewed in the context of leadership openly embracing the ideals of the Freedom Charter (FC). Also it is a means used by leadership to derail the movement permanently from the revolutionary path!
8. Freedom Charter
While the ANC has declared 2015 the year of the FC, EFF leadership has at the same time indicated its support of the document and has since the last EFF NPA given more weight to it than its own Founding Manifesto. In fact EFF held a huge celebration on 27 June 2015 to mark 60 years of the FC. To this end EFF's support of the FC has come to mean one thing only: supporting the ANC's neo liberal agenda! The FC is an anti black documented program of action that ultimately serves to maintain white monopoly capital via the agency of black comprador elements who serve as front office managers of that system! Land was stolen from blacks and the FC fails to make this point and consequently fails to frame the fundamental question as that of white racism which in turn needs black solidarity to create the revolutionary encounter capable of producing an anti racist socialist society. Without this revolutionary encounter we cannot arrive at an anti racist socialist society even if we all "work" the country.
9. Move On
The crisis in the EFF is very grave. Politically, the organization is dead! We now know that the EFF cannot realistically challenge the ANC's neo-colonialism and that there is every indication that it is the continuation of the ANC. Due to the above factors coupled with the fact that there is no platform within the EFF to engage in any meaningful ideological struggle against the backward and sell out tendencies of leadership we were constrained to conclude that if the movement cannot be used to realize the black liberation project, via the resolution of the land question and putting blacks first, then it is of no use to our people's cause.

Black First Land First

Return the stolen land - That’s the only real solution!

Sankara Policy and Political School
Submission to the portfolio committee of public works on public hearing on the Expropriation Bill [2015]
We shall concentrate only on this bill to the extent that it is the key section in the constitution that defines state policy of land.
What is section 25 and what does it serve?
This Bill claims to amend sections 25 of the constitution (which is correctly known as the property clause). Section 25 of the constitution is in fact the clause that turns the 1994 political compromise into a constitutional imperative.
What were the terms of the compromise? It was basically that in exchange for political power being handed to black people, land and the economy shall remain in the hands of the white minority settler population. Section 25 legalises land theft and legitimises colonialism. Those who negotiated this compromise at the time said it was a “tactical” move to gain power without too much blood shed. The logic was that after power was secured then land would be returned. The section therefore was never about redistributing land but rather securing a political compromise.
21 years after Democracy we know that the compromise has been very bad for black people. This section has rendered our people landless in their own land.

Section 25 in its entirety is a yoke in the necks of our people and shackles in the feet and hands of our people. It makes us slaves in our own land.

The argument of how bad section 25 has been for our people is made better by evidence.
What is the evidence in the past 21 years to show the negative impact of section 25?
1. In 21 years, only 8% of the land has been bought back at shocking R50 billion +
2. Between 1994-2004 already a million farm workers were evicted from land (this trend continues)
3. It will take 100 years to reach only 30% land redistribution of the land.
4. Government has abandoned all targets for land redistributon (the 30% target has been abandoned). Government dumped this modest target because it was impossible to reach it because of the property clause primarily.
5. 50% of the population(black people) live under the poverty line.
6. Anti black racism is rife (colonial power relations not changed)
How do we turn this situation around?
1. There is need to have the courage to admit the first truth, that SA, all of it belongs to Black people. That the land question arises out of the arrival in 1652 of white settler colonial population.

2. To have the courage to admit that all land in SA is stolen property.



SA land Policy perpetuates illegality
Does this committee have the courage to admit that, the land reform policy of South Africa since 1994 has been the perpetration of illegality? If you buy stolen property you are as guilty as the thief that sells you stolen goods. In other words each time government pays white farmers for land, it is involved in a criminal activity.
We are here to demand that you repel/remove/delete the whole section 25 and replace it with something more agreeable to the needs of our people to the address historical justice of land theft.
Section 25 of the Constitution gives with one hand and takes with the other. It says two things at the same time- it protects colonial property relations and at the same time it approves land redistribution. This section plays finder finder with our people.
We have shown what the section was crafted for (political compromise), we cannot try to make it do what it was never intended to do. The section blocks land redistribution and distorts history. Trying to make land redistribution with this section is like trying to turn a cow into a lion, it simple won’t roar!
No we won’t pay for our land!
The real stumbling block of land redistribution to black people in SA is the idea of paying for stolen property. The Bill unfortunately in its current form, does not address this fundamental question, in fact it perpetrates the evil idea of paying for land.
If we remove the technical language and legalistic jargon of the Bill we see that it does nothing new. The Bill does not address why must we buy our land back. The Bill does not even assist in giving guidance on how “just and equitable compensation” should be paid(of course we reject paying for our land).
Committee, the drafters of the Bill have lied to you if they say this Bill sets mechanism to end the “willing buyer willing seller” evil policy- it doesn’t nothing of the sort! This Bill is the extension of the failed market policy. This Bill is an insult to black people in fact.
What is Just and equitable compensation?
The whole argument on paying for stolen property turns on the phrase “just and equitable compensation”. The compensation section in Bill does not offer a new solution or an alternative reading, it says, there can be expropriation, subject to this iron law of the market(of course it list the other non-market considerations to be taken into account). But we know in the final analysis just and equitable comes to the market value and our courts have strongly indicated this direction.
The bill fails to provide a criteria that settles the meaning of “just and equitable” in monetary terms. This committee shall take this Bill to the National Assembly without being able to answer a simple question: in rands and cents what is “just and equitable compensation”? This matter shall in all likelihood be settled by the courts.
The courts have been disappointing in reading compensation.
let’s take three examples to illustrate the point:
First judge Geldenhys in the land claims court tried to give interpretation to the clause and came to some complicated calculations that claim to take into consideration the same long list of consideration repeated by the Bill, but didn’t solve the problem.
Recently, deputy judge president of the Constitutional Court, has decided to relay on “inflation” to calculate compensation for those who have lost property and are beneficiaries of the Restitution process. Mosenke’s determination is open to accusation of racism, because white land owners are never confronted with valuation of their property based on CPI index. Its an established principle that property is not valuated on the CPI, so what was the thinking behind this weirds logic only gods knows.
The third firm indication that “just and equitable” within the current frame work would mean, “market value”, was expressed in the Zimbabwe land expropriation matter which was first decided by the SADC Tribunal and then went all the way into the South African Constitutional Court. on that case the Judge president led the bench in concluding that compensation must be paid whenever there is expropriation and this led to the a judgement which foreclosed the property of the Zimbabwean state to be sold to pay compensation to the white farmer who lost property in Zimbabwe.
This Bill unfortunately leaves the landless at the mercy of courts.
This Bill fails four important tests:
1. Does the Bill End the willing buyer willing seller policy and practice? The answer is a No!
2. Does the Bill ensure land will be in hands of the landless black majority? again NO!
3. Does the bill resolve the meaning and criteria of “just and equitable compensation” NO!
4. Does the bill set targets as constitutional imperative for land redistribution? Yet another NO!
The Bill is timid, vague and repeat what we know. Already the conditions for expropriation repeated in the bill are covered in the existing section 25 of the Constitution(whats new or different?). The Bill does not take forward the process defined by the section and as we know already is highly compromised.
The Bill doesn’t even seek to put emphasis on the one reading of section to ensure historical redress must trump any other consideration. Worse, the Bill does not locate the land question in history and in the logic of land theft so that land expropriation is undertaken within a frame work that would ensure decolonisation and redress.
This Bill is a piece of paper to avoid doing what is right. It’s a retreat from the truth. It’s another mechanism to appear to be doing something when in actual fact doing nothing!
This Bill is a bill of cowardice in essence. This committee has to turn into an instrument of courage to achieve land redress.

What is do we proposed?
1. The whole existing section 25 be expunged/removed from the constitution. And be replaced by a section that explicitly recognise that, land in SA is stolen property and that the primary purpose of redistribution of land to the black majority is for historical redress.
2. That ALL black people have a right to land in SA.
3. That a new subsection be inserted that legalises the occupation of land by the landless.
4. That evictions of farm workers and poor people from land be declared illegal.(all evictions and to end the strange distinction between legal and illegal evictions also ended).
5. That a constitutionally determined targets be sets and responsible minister be held accountable, we propose that in the next five year, 80% of the total land be redistributed to black people.
6. That the section give effect to a new department, which shall be called the Department of Land Redistribution and its sole mandate be the redistribution of land and nothing else, right now South Africa doesn’t have a department that solely focuses on land.
6. That the section furthermore, outline a process where land ceilings shall be effected in accordance with soil capacity of each of the regions and provinces.
.
7. That the values of mortgages (bonds) be adjusted to a value that excludes land in housing price because land must be offered to all for free.
Can these proposals be realised and are they within the prism of the law? The answer in both instances is yes! Amending the constitution is a legal exercise. All you need is 2/3rds majority which the National Assembly already has given the fact that EFF has offered the ruling party its 6% to amend the constitution to effect land return without compensation.
We appeal to the committee to be brave and to give this nation the long awaited justice. Committee the decision is in your hands, to continue with colonialism and landless or to be bold and end the suffering of our people. Our people are ready for a new dispensation on land. a dispensation that put Black First! For Land First!
If you lack the courage, the people have lots of courage. If you can’t decide let the people decide. Call a referendum, ask the people of this country a simple but profound question: Do you want to buy back your stolen land? vote yes or no?
Let’s assure you, if you fail to address the land question, then the people shall address it themselves. Failure to amend section 25 to bring it in line with the needs of the people would be only to delay an inevitability. We going to take this land. its ours! Land First!
Thank you!

Free The Land and Free The Land

Black First! – Land First! A revolutionary Call

“For a colonized people the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity.”- Frantz Fanon

Twenty years after democracy black people are still at the bottom of society. We, the black majority, are last instead of being the first. Now we have decided to put black people first! Its only when black people are seen and treated as the rightful owners of this country shall we be really liberated. The first step to black liberation - to achieve dignity and an end to white arrogance and racism - is LAND FIRST! It is land that shall put BLACKS FIRST! Without LAND we are nothing! With LAND we are everything we want to be and more!

Black people are last in all areas of life because we are, in the first place, last when it comes to owning land. Out of 54 million people in South Africa only 35000 white families and white businesses own more than 80% of the land. Since 1994, the ANC government has bought 8% of the land at the cost of about R50 billion! The ANC is using our money to buy stolen property. Since 1994 more than 1 million black people have been forcibly removed on farms! Farm workers are slaves. The restitution claiming communities who are victims of apartheid land removals remain landless after 20 years of ANC rule! In urban areas black people have no housing because they are landless. The housing prices are out of reach for blacks, and to this end even to most black professionals, because of the landlessness.

It will take more than 100 years to buy back only 30% of the land with current land policies. Black people are last when it comes to employment! About 45% of black people are unemployed compared to only 5% of white people!

Black people are last when it comes to income! White families earn six times more than what black familes earn! (give amount)

Only 5% of blacks complete their university or tertiary education within the designated periods. Most black university students face exclusions due to financial constraints.

Black people are also at the bottom of the ownership of the economy. To this end, inter alia, blacks only own about 3% of the listed JSE companies.

Enough is enough! We have decided to fight for Black First through ensuring Land First!
All the political parties and social movements in South Africa are currently not for Black First and Land First! The ruling party and the opposition parties do not put black people first. The politicians are apologetic when it comes to the demands of blacks and in particular the resolution of the land question.

We invite you to hold hands with us to build a revolutionary movement based on three non-negotiable principles:

1. BLACK FIRST!

Black people are the first people on earth! We blacks gave the white world life and civilisation. But slavery, colonialism and apartheid have put blacks last. We are now correcting this injustice by calling for Black First. By black we mean all those who are oppressed and dispossessed by colonialism and apartheid. The system of divide and rule has been sustained by creating misunderstanding amongst the oppressed. In this context the elites from within the black community have further fuelled tribal animosities. Black First seeks to end all divisions and contradictions amongst the people so as to consolidate them into a united strong block against white racism and dispossession. Black First follows the liberating truth that “the last shall be first”. We have been overlooked for far too long! Putting Black First means ending suffering, poverty, landlessness and all the other ills of white supremacy that characterize the black condition. Black First is a call for blacks to love themselves, to care for each other and to fight for their liberation and dignity.

2. Land First!

Without land there is no freedom or dignity. We want land first because it is the basis of our freedom, our identity, our spiritual wellbeing, our economic development and culture. The land of Africans was stolen and thereby rendered us landless in our own land. We want all the land with all of its endowments on its surface together with all the fortunes underground as well as the sky. All of it belongs to us! We are a people crying for our stolen land! Now we have decided to get it back by any means necessary!

3. Black Consciousness and Pan Africanism

Our guiding philosophical outlook is both the Black Consciousness of Steve Bantu Biko and the Pan Africanism of Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe. Our leadership style and practice is Sankarist following and honoring the revolutionary legacy of Thomas Sankara. For the movement to succeed, it needs a servant leadership that shall put the people first!

We invite you to come and build a revolutionary movement with us so as to fight for the following ideals:

1.​ Land first! We won’t buy back our stolen land!
2. ​Black First! The black majority must be prioritised!
3.​ Mineral rights belong to the people! Let the people own and benefit directly!
4.​ Quality Jobs Now! R12 500 minimum wage is non negotiable!
5.​ Basic income for all Now! No one should go to bed on an empty stomach!
6.​ Housing is a right! End all squatter camps in five years!
7.​ Healthcare is a right! Build hospitals and train doctors!
8.​ Anti Racism. Declare anti black racism a crime!
9.​ Anti sexism. Declare Oppression of women a crime!
10.​ Socialism! Only fair distribution of wealth can bring about real economic freedom!
11.​ Pro-people Industrialization. Develop ecologically friendly industrialization!
12.​ African dignity and unity! Africa is one and her liberation paramount!
13.​ Mental liberation! The biggest disease killing Africa is ignorance and colonial mind-sets.
14.​ All MPs and public servants must use public services!
15.​ The Thomas Sankara Oath and the People’s Manifesto are our eyes to guide us to total liberation for real.
16.​ Youth Advancement, because the future belongs to the youth!

Politicians and political parties have shown their hands. They do not believe in what they say. They are too quick to sell black people out. No political party currently believes in Land First. But we must not lose hope! We must build a new revolutionary movement that aims to overthrow this anti-black racist, capitalist rule that started in 1652 and did not end in 1994. Unorganized, we cannot win the battle for a Free Azania. The time for Black First, Land First is now! Let’s turn this dream into reality.
