Restoring Ancient Egyptian Knowledge Now

 

Dr. Bynum says in the video below that his goal is to include ancient Egyptian wisdom in the scientific worldview now..

​

In his books and in the video, Dr. Bynum shows the importance of the Pineal Gland and Melanin in Enlightenment needed now as we take steps to become a galactic civilization and raise our consciousness for the Solar Flash in 2027-2028. Dr. Bynum explains the profundity of African knowledge going back thousands of years to the time of ancient Egypt that has so revolutionized the world in the past -- and can again today! He explains that both psychology and psychiatry were born in ancient Egypt. Western civilization is the only major culture for which Enlightenment  has not been the goal. The Principles of Ma'at and the wisdom of Thoth kept ancient Egypt stable, prosperous, and the light of the world for thousands of years.

Ubuntu: In Context of African Culture

​

Ubuntu is based on the ancient Egyptian concept of The Principles of Maat. Dr. Edward Bruce Bynum discusses the concept of Ubuntu in his book The African Unconscious: Roots of Ancient Mysticism and Modern Psychology. Dr. Bynum explains the context in which the key Ubuntu phrase "I am because we are and since we are, therefore I am" arises.

Dr. Bynum points out under "Communal Consciousness": "Another one of the primary matrices or reflections of the African unconscious can be found in the emphasis on group or tribal or community consciousness as opposed to egoic or individalized or autonomous consciousness...There is a subtle bias toward nurturance and interconnectedness with the wider ecology, a relational and resonate affinity in one's perceptions with an emphasis, but not negation, of objectification and market values...Or said another way, "I am because we are and since we are, therefore I am". The emphasis is on racial and collective or community consciousness and it is seen as prior and primary to individuated consciousness".
