RENEW YOUR MIND (part1)
"In giving, Aro gave all to the world"_ Maazi Ekeagbaudu.
I write not for glory, nor for treasures because glory could pass and treasures vanish. I write for 'REDEMPTION of TRUTH'. I present to the world the customs and traditions of my beloved people of the land founded by Gods and named after God (Chiukwu). I write in Black and White.
All things: events, customs, ideologies, machines and guns have origins including ma. If we know the origin of certain human ideologies, we might be left in great shock. The shock would not come from the knowledge of the origin but the fact that the true origin has over the centuries been hidden from humanity. It is not a show of wisdom, it is not smartness to kill the originator, claim his creations and use your law to protect his intellectual property. What could be more animalistic, inhuman and degrading than that?
The concept of God and the practice of religious rituals were creations of Black people; but due to the fact that their originality has been denied the Black man "who deserves no glory", the entire world has been misled into believing the false accusation that "Blacks lack humanity", therefore should not be treated as humans but "Black monkeys".
Racism is not a "personal habit" but a "personality trait". Even those of them who claim to be civil, and therefore, fighters of human rights still have in their gene that personality trait. If it is not dominant then it is recessive. However, it is present in them all.
It is not only a false accusation but also a manipulation of the mind. The Black people themselves seem to have agreed with the false accusation, which has degenerated into their developing a victim mindset.
MIND & LIFE [Eke]
The Nature of the MIND
Many people are often interested in the subject of mind. They want to understand themselves, others and the world in which they live. But the mind as a subject cannot be well taught and understood with isolation from a vital organ of the human body called the brain. The two are, sometimes, confusing and therefore used interchangeably even by elites. The brain is an organ but the mind is not. The brain is the physical place where the mind resides. It is a vessel in which the electronic impulses that create thought are contained. With the brain you coordinate moves, calculate figures, work out a schedule, meet an appointment and transmit impulses. But when you have need for deep thinking, reasoning, organizing your activities, managing your time, passing judgment and studying your awareness beyond the situation in view, you switch over to the use of your mind. A student solving arithmetic uses his brain while another student criticizing a theory (through logic) and propounding a new one uses his mind. In same manner, a fan watching a football match uses his brain but the love of the game resides in the mind. That is why some fans can be extremely fanatic. If the brain is allowed to rule over the mind, the outcome is usually regretted. Quick decisions are taken in the brain but the mind slowly and carefully weighs options before passing judgment. That explains the reason for the popular advice: “Think before you act; and not act before you think”.
The mind is the manifestation of thoughts, perceptions, emotions, determinations, memories and imagination that take place within the brain. Mind is often used to refer, especially, to the thought process of reason. The mind is the awareness of the consciousness we know, and the ability to understand them.
How the Mind / Soul (Agwu) Acquires Knowledge
Agwu is an Igbo word for “vibration or inspiration”. It is connected to soul or mind, the citadel of knowledge. It is the energy of the human mind. The human character or behaviour is determined by one’s level of agwu (exposure or knowledge). Little wonder, behaviour or character in Igbo language is called “agwa” that which comes from“agwu”. An improved agwu is an improved agwa. Anwu is the source of agwu. Agwa is the product of agwu. “The soul of all improvement is the improvement of the soul”_ Maazi Alvan Azinna Ikoku (foremost Nigerian educationalist) In Igbo language the quotation means:“Agwu nwulite nile hiwere isi na nwulite nke Agwu”.
Agwu (energy of the human mind) is activated through meditation. It has two basic dimensional learning or improvement patterns. The two patterns are: vertical dimension pattern and horizontal dimension pattern. The patterns have symbolic representations which are: a Black Anka of Life and a Triangle. The vertical pattern connects agwu to Anwu (Sun / Chiukwu) – the source of all knowledge. The horizontal pattern connects agwu to Nne Miri (Mother Water) – the source of all wisdom. The garnered information illumines the seeker’s agwu (soul) like an electrical vibration from the Sun or a drowning inspiration from the Water. The information acquired from the two sources improves and upgrades agwu and reflects on the seeker’s agwa (character or behaviour). “The soul of all improvement is the improvement of the soul”.
Important Note:
The agwu could also learn through circular pattern, but this is evil. Circular pattern of learning means that the seeker is constantly filling his or her agwu with junky human ideologies, doctrines and superstitions that circulate from human to human which do not upgrade or improve a seeker’s mind. One cannot think in “circular pattern”. Thinking in circular pattern is called “revision” and not “thought”. Thought follows vertical and horizontal dimension patterns. Revision is thinking within-the-box of an internalized doctrine and that is what a weak mind does in place of thinking.

Some inventions Aro (African) Priests created from their enlightened Minds:
The Western civilizations (religions, education, politics, fashion, trade, military and etcetera) are circular patterns of learning human ideologies that weaken and diminish the mind of (their learners) Africans. This is the reason for Africa’s spiritual decline and social deterioration.
The Inventions:
- The creation of Igbo calendar
- The creation of names of days
- Techniques for discovering one’s talent and destiny through Igbo calendar (horoscope)
- The origin of market and money
- The Revelation of Holy Trinity
- The creation of Philosophy and branches of knowledge
- The creation of letters and numbers (through Nsibiri)
- The discovery of Human XY Chromosomes (to be explained in latter publication)
- The creation of Computer Programming Language
- The creation of Electricity
- The creation of Robotic Technology
