Thank you for your words! I have been struggling with no longer believing religion and I feel lost because Christianity is all that I knew, but it no longer feels right! Something just was not adding up for me. It always made me feel conflicted when the pastor would say that I’m going to hell if I don’t do this or that, when I don’t rob, steal or hurt anyone, and I would give the shirt off of my back to a stranger. How can a man determine my destiny from a man made book of philosophy’s and opinions?! All of my family are very religious, especially my parents and they keep trying to push their train of thoughts onto me.. All of this is just an uncomfortable feeling, but I do know that it will pass..

Since I childhood I was blessed with questioning things of this world including religion and politics. On religion I found myself as a child, an African child, together with my siblings, being sent to the church by our staunch Christian grandmother. As I grew, maybe at the age of 16 I asked my grandmother, in South Africa, why all the characters of the bible we worship are whites, the same people colonised and enslaved us? She just laughed and said hey this child is so stubborn. As a child, when I was very young, my father did a kind of an African birthday: "Imbheleko" and later when I was in my 20 I was initiated, traditionally, into manhood with all our traditional customs involved for doing so, including the rites of passage from boyhood to manhood. I read a lot about our customs and traditions but I was always disturbed by Christianity because I always had this notion of a white Jesus, Marry, and God. As I grew up I knew that something was wrong somewhere and everybody in Africa has been court up in this puzzle, including our great leaders...they all worship Jesus, God and the church. And one would wonder if they are great leaders indeed when after our struggles for the liberation of the continent of Africa, they are still worshipping these white America/Arabian so-called saviours, prophets, and Gods. Not a single African leader ever mentioned the return to our customs and traditions after colonisation and slavery by the white men. Even the young leaders of today they sweam with the tide of worshipping the white Jesus/Marry/God trinity, worse of all Mohammed of Islam, not African. What's going on with their Ancestors and the old ways before slavery and colonialism? When these leaders see unschooled rural Africans doing their customs and traditions they are labelled as "backwards" or in Xhosa "Amaqaba", those who are still putting or decorating red ochre in their faces, singing and dancing traditional songs...stupids. We can think that we are liberated but Spiritually we are not. People today are waiting for a white messiah in the name of Jesus or Mohammed and they don't even stop for one minute and think for themselves...why a white...not a black Saviour???!!! As years go by I inquired about this from our preachers, pastors and political leaders and they all said the colour does not matter...a saviour is a saviour!!! That's when I got out of religion and pursued my traditional Xhosa African customs for myself and my children, and we are all alive and well, one of my children is a lawyer, and I travelled the world and hold dual citizenship, Europe/Africa. I'm not waiting for any white saviour Jesus or Mohammed in my life. If my forebears were converted from their reality to falsehood by white enslavers and invaders, well I am not. Thanks.

Problem is you have been perceiving everything with the typical Black Victim card, instead of questioning the message you question the skin. The problem with this so called African Spiritualism is that no one really knows what it is. Blacks try hard to justify it but still they are lost. Even this guy in the video, he just sounded like another Bhuddist monk. He literally said nothing new. Whatever you ancestors practiced, they found it here being practiced by their ancestors, and their ancestors by their ancestors, and so forth. At one point, if really you were blessed with questioning you would have questioned African Practice origin. Who came up with those Practices, huh? Just because everyone was doing it does not mean it was right. African Spiritualism is a concept created by those who are struggling with identity issues.

Centre of Pan African Thought Hmmmm I don't think this video is very accurate in relation to the Abrahamic faiths. The Abrahamic faiths are not that ancient. Ancient Egyptian religion was not Abrahamic and when Christianity reached Africa from the Middle East Ancient Egyptian spirituality was seen as pagan so much so that the Copts defaced Egyptian temples. The Abrahamic faiths are not African religions. Although they reached Africa so early on. Egypt and Sudan were Christian from the first century AD. Look up the Christian empires of Alodia and Makuria. When Christianity reached Sudan it destroyed the original matriarchal culture of Sudan and introduced Middle Eastern names on the King lists. No more Queen Mothers and Warrior Queens like in Ancient Nubia. The research here needs to be revised.

My friend (友 in Chinese). Religion as a Cult may indeed be accurate. With all the Discord in the World now, for sharing such may I say Thank you (ありがとう in Japanese) (감사in Korean), last but not least (dziękuję in Polish, my 1st language). I present this positive comment in the spirit of Confucius 孔子 (learn all now, discern some later). I may know a little of West 西, maybe a little of far East 東, but nothing in between 中. In my studies of Spiritual Beliefs, I found that the Spiritual Beliefs of the Yoruba seem to encompass all, and perhaps more. Creation of dry land in a sea of mist is similar to Japanese Shinto; formation of humankind is similar to ancient Chinese Beliefs; the Great Flood is similar to Scandinavian, Greco-Roman, & Judeo-Christian Beliefs. Finally, perhaps most important, Good vs Evil: is it 2 opposing cosmic forces that influence all, or is it the simple duality of human nature. This is similar to TRUE FAITH. ...If I offended Any, I Sincerely Apologize. If I enlightened any, I Sincerely Thank You for reading this rather strange comment. I have no proof of anything, I have always read a lot of books.

Would love to see all of our youtubers come together for a month to pull all their audience together to discuss SOLUTIONS!!! Our opinions are dividing us all!! Have yet to see any tuber discussing SOLUTIONS!! Why is that ? We have all become the great debaters ? Whomever is the greatest debater or the most convincing ( informative knowledge ) gets the most audience ? Presidency? But what is information without solution ? Doesn’t that keep us separated ? Aren’t we still fighting against each other as the movie ? Why isn’t whites & other culture not concerned about religion ? Are we the only ones going to Heaven? Why we not using our heads to come together vs who knows more? Once we continue to point out what others are doing to suppress us, then what? Doesn’t non solution with knowledge makes us more vulnerable? Didn’t Barack, Trump & every one else’s telling us why can’t we do something with our own community ? Their giving us permission? Why are the telling us to come together & build up our communities ? Well let’s do it!! Why can’t we use our brains for solutions?? If someone invited us to unite for a solution , would we have enough humility to share our audience or have we subconsciously all dranked the monkey juice of PRIDE? “Go get yo own audience , I built this & I’m going to continue to just point out how much I know to avoid my fear of how much I really don’t know !! (SOLUTIONS) No solutions keeps us suppress & divided especially when you have thousands of tubers tuning in to various tubers whom knowledge is great but what is knowledge without Solutions? Leaves us all Powerless & emotions! Thanks for sharing us the image of an amazing house? Now teach us all how to build one ourselves vs who House is the biggest? Are we afraid we may lose an audience but is it okay if we gain FREEDOM AS A RESULT ( SOLUTION ) !! Have we ever asked our audience for solution vs “ let me break meanings down” we wasting valuable time year after year ! It’s brainwashing us all to stay separated by beliefs!! Help us Help US ALL!!! !! Empower our neighborhoods together using a product we all can own & let our youth get residual vs pay check to paycheck starting as young as 8? But it will take ALL OF US ESPECIALLY MELANIN TO RESEARCH ! We don’t want your audience , we NEED your audience but we NEED YOU FIRST because subconsciously we have become under a spell of INFORMATION with no way to process it week to week by our very own! We all have been slightly misdirected See link below ( if it doesn’t show or the site freezing ) it’s not because we haven’t paid our bills, it’s because we are sharing solutions & the powers that be doesn’t want us to see it! We didn’t spend years building tubers audiences but we did spend years developing solutions for those tubers whom had built their audience and is not to proud to share!!! Sharing will only increase your audience !! Think about it!! We are all one powerful voice separated into many!! We have to use this moment to become one again! It’s about the people!! We would love to be on your station as a guest when ever needed to share how this can work for us all UNIVERSALLY!! We need us & we are all that we have despite our religious differences ! We have to stop fighting each other & join forces to Save our communities ! No one else will but us and aren’t we the originators of everything ?

All of nature and creation points to a higher form of we humans that are all created. Call it what you want, but because of that power that exceeds us because it created us, we as mankind seek to honor, praise and worship the source that created us and that one source is God. If all this spiritually directs us all back to the source, which is a spirit that created all of the entire existence and even limited capacity of knowledge of mankind, then theres no diverting a religion. It will simply take on a new religious name, call it Africiab something but it's still a spiritual movement that will lead to the worship of something. From what I'm hearing its leading to self worship which is idolatry. Abraham went trying to find the source of all this and even he to looked to the moon and the sun in praise and worship and found nothing but an arrow pointing him to the creator of all things, which is GOD. Only God should and can be worshipped because he existed he wasnt made and hes outside time, space and creation, because creation cannot create its self. Ancient Egypt was the hot bed for all the world occult, witchcraft, ancient paganism, even worshipping of ancestral spirits aka Angels who fell and present themselves as the dead, who cannot communicate with the living. There can only be one praise and one worship and that's to one source. If black ppl claiming they are the chosen ones in the entire earth as God's people, then the very thing that cause God to scatter these ancestors into slavery and foreign lands is exactly what I'm hearing in this video that cause the problem. Worshipping everything created but God the creator. History repeating itself, for the bible said so: "theres nothing new under the sun, and so as in the days of Noah so shall it be in this present time, before the flood comes, only this time not with water but fire. The bible has enough evidence to prove its self more than any other ancient writings compared to any other. Just saying.

People are questioning why we should give praise to the sun instead of the creator...Why must we choose only one entity to give gratitude to? As multi-dimensional beings, we are mind, body, Spirit, and so much more... Our consciousness can be graced for our praise to the most high of ALL things(creator), but the physical body and it's source must also be honored. Universe consists of balance and order, which we had more insight of before we forgot who we were prior to the conditioned beliefs and faiths given to us by our captors.

I might have to address spirituality as you difine it. by calling it consciousness you are subtly differentiating it from religion in a deceptive way. why?? because religion is based on the idea of God consciousness. this is not to say I believe or do not believe in a God. but by seeking a greater consciousness, or you might call it a spiritual or deep consciousness. there is a deception in not defining what that looks like. my concern is that, we should not assume that African spirituality, as a consciousness is superior to Islamic or Christian spirituality. If the question is about awareness of the spiritual traditions, fair enough. but a revolutionary sprint towards the unknown can be very disappointing, not to mention reckless. My hope is that we steal the useful from any source we find :). but it's just so much work; and yet again by speaking I reveal my ignorance. It would be awesome though if the African spirituality which is being sought by pan African thinkers, and people like me does bring harmony to the African people, fulfilling them. Christianity and Islam are not terribly bad at keeping my brothers, sisters and children happy, yet It is my sadness that they have deep sorrow which cannot be healed.

We cannot evolve into ascended personalities and maximize upon our potential if we are slaves, and I dare say that we are slaves to the organized religions of which we have been given. We pay greater attention to following the practices and customs of these cults instead of trying to find solutions to the depravity that keeps our people subjugated. Why do you think that in every single nation with racial diversity it is the people of African descent who is always the majority at the extreme bottom of the socio-economic strata? It is because we have lost our spiritual grounding, and is now blindly following the indoctrination that keep our minds subjugated.

No one can interpret a text for you. You must interpret it for yourself. No one can judge the truth in a text. You must do that yourself. To belong to a madhhab or a church is a mistake - it means giving the duty of truth-seeking, which can only be sincerely an individual pursuit, to someone else - to someone who makes a profit off such spiritual endeavor. Only you on your own can discover the truth. Noone else can discover it for you.

Actually the only difference between 'spirituality' and 'religion' is what people make up in their minds. These words, especially as used now are European constructs. The term 'Africa' is a Western construct. So there really is no such thing as "African Spirituality" that you can find on the continent. Spirituality - is derivative of Christianity. Look it up. "spirituality (n.) early 15c., "the clergy," also "ecclesiastical property; things pertaining to the Church," from Middle French spiritualite, from Late Latin spiritualitatem (nominative spiritualitas), from Latin spiritualis (see spiritual). Meaning "quality of being spiritual" is from c. 1500; seldom-used sense of "fact or condition of being a spirit" is from 1680s. An earlier form was spiritualty (late 14c.). " Meaning "of or concerning the church" is attested from mid-14c. Africa - The ancient Romans used the name Africa terra - "land of the Afri" (plural, or "Afer" singular) - for the northern part of the continent that corresponds to modern-day Tunisia. The origin of Afer may be the Phoenician afar, dust; the Afri tribe, who dwelt in Northern Africa around the area of Carthage; Greek aphrike (*ἀφρίκη), without cold; or Latin aprica, sunny. The name Africa, which was originally used by the Romans to refer to present-day Tunisia, only began to be stretched to encompass a larger area when the provinces of Tripolitania, Numidia and Mauritania Caesariensis were subdued to the Diocesis of Africa, following the administrative restructuring of Diocletian. Religion - There is no such entity or thing, as a 'religion' in reality. The word isn't in any of the scriptures. It is a Western concept originally foreign to any people on the Mother Continent. It's not even clear what it originally meant. ""According to Cicero it's derived from relegere "go through again" (in reading or in thought), from re- "again" (see re-) + legere "read" (see lecture (n.)). However, popular etymology among the later ancients (Servius, Lactantius, Augustine) and the interpretation of many modern writers connects it with religare "to bind fast" (see rely), via notion of "place an obligation on," or "bond between humans and gods." Why in 2017 are we basing our beliefs on these European words and concepts? We also have to be aware of the Madame Blavatsky and the New Age crowd who are pushing this New Age "spirituality" as a critique to religion. Which is all white people drama that should have nothing to do with us. See, www.innercivilization.com/2017/01/zeitgeist-new-age-and-distortion-of.html

Of course this is not to defend Christianity at all. But it seems more beneficial to look at the details, doctrines and history of it if we are going to engage people who have believed in it for so long, rather than dismiss it using contrived definitions, categories and labels. If not we're just moving from ignorance to ignorance, which is a lateral move masquerading as elevation. I'm also leery about these definitions because there are people out there with an agenda pushing "spirituality" to black people.

Fair enough, however we are using European languages to discuss these topics, and those constructs are a part of them. We'd have to create or find culturally relevant/authentic terms to replace them with, but as they are lacking (from what I see) we kind of have to use words like religion and spirituality, at least for now. No?

It's cool to use them for lack of a better word as long as it's understood that they have no independent meanings or reality within themselves. They are conceptual tools, mainly because they are arbitrary and vague. My only issue is that those who currently employ them, use them as propaganda tools. There's a value judgement behind them, and an implication that one is good and one is bad. For example we call ancient Kemetic practices 'spiritual' (because we like Kemet), but for the past centuries Kemetic or Egyptian practices have been called religious. For example renowned scholar Henry Breasted referred to Egpytian religion. e.g. (Development of Religion and Thought in Ancient Egypt, by James Henry Breasted, [1912]). Also Herodotus on the Egyptians: "They are religious excessively beyond all other men, and with regard to this they have customs as follows: they drink from cups of bronze and rinse them out every day, and not some only do this but all: they wear garments of linen always newly washed, and this they make a special point of practice..."[Herodotus on Egypt II:37].

Also keep in mind that it's not simply (the English) language that we're dealing with, it's the mentality and thinking of Western Europe that can subtly control our thoughts if we don't question, analyze and investigate these significant terms and ideas. Consider this: "As Wilfred Cantwell Smith showed in his landmark 1962 book, The Meaning and End of Religion, "religion" as a discrete category of human activity separable from "culture," "politics," and other areas of life is an invention of the modern West. In the course of a detailed historical study of the concept "religion," Smith was compelled to conclude that in premodern Europe there was no significant concept equivalent to what we think of as "religion," and furthermore there is no "closely equivalent concept in any culture that has not been influenced by the modern West."2 Wilfred Cantwell Smith, The Meaning and End of Religion (Macmillan, 1962), 19. bulletin.hds.harvard.edu/articles/springsummer2007/does-religion-cause-violence See? What sense does it make to call ourselves African if we are so thoroughly thinking with European thoughts and ideas? This is something we can and must do for ourselves.

"If there is no sun you won't exist" how about if there is no God there is no sun thus praises ought to be directed towards the creator of the Sun and not the creation. It more like praising water and arguing, if there's no water there is no life. Bottom line, how about we go back to acknowledging praising and worshiping the creator of them all. God Almighty.

@Centre of Pan African Thought, you are not even knowledgeable about Islam and Christianity to compare it to the various African ideologies / traditions. For example you said that in Islam Muslims pray 3 times a day and that it came from ancient Egypt. This is incorrect, Muslims don't pray 3 times a day. You also mentioned that Muslims call Islam the deen and that deen means judgement. This is also incorrect, the term deen used to describe Islam, means that Islam is a way of life. Both Christianity and Islam are spirituality systems. You cannot deny the fact that both Christianity and Islam have brought a lot of good to Africans as well as the rest of humanity. You cannot judge any ideology, philosophy or spirituality based on those who claim to believe in or subscribe to them. If you want to blame Christianity and Islam for the actions of some extremists, then the same can be done to African Spirituality. There are a lot of ritual killings taking place in Nigeria and Benin which have been linked to the rituals practiced by those who believe in and practice African Spirituality. Many according to their beliefs, believe that they must present human sacrifices to their ancestors in order receive their help with, health, prosperity or fertility. The ancient Egyptians (or those of ancient Kemit) used to sacrifice virgins to the Nile river, in order to prevent floods. Many people marvel at the pyramids, but ignore the actual history and practices of those of ancient Kemit or the fact that the pyramids are actually tombs of dead ancient kings. When these kings died, they had all of their personal possessions, wealth and even living servants and pets placed in the tombs with them with the hope of continuing to enjoy them in the afterlife. They actually had their servants and pets killed and embalmed along with themselves after they died. Female genital mutilation is also a practice fro African Spirituality systems.

constantine put together the Bible??? This is what surprises me with the so called post modern mind. If you make plain science errors people laugh at you but if you make plain errors on religion people accept it. That is plain wrong to state that constantine compiled the Bible. Certainly you did not do your research well. Even if you dont like the Bible or dont agree with it, at least you need to get your facts correct such things.

It was not only Constantine, but he started the disgraceful act of hosting Councils where they modified the so-called word of God. And the fact that there are people who accept this knowing what was done is simply regrettable and downright ridiculous. There were Four Councils (OF WHICH WE KNOW OF), The Council of Nicaea, The Council of Constantinople, The Council of Ephasus, and The Council of Chalcedon. And each time they met, under whichever Roman emperor, from Constantine to Theodosian, they changed something in the Bible. Millions were and is still being slaughtered in the name of secularism, so do not blame people if they feel the need to wash themselves of these evil globalized cults and go back to the divinity that exists within nature.
