Experience Meaningless: Experience and prejudice. To accept sight and illusion in the same relativity and not be a slave. Slavery: To be free from the growth of intellect. Experience free from understanding and memory as triviality. Memory: reduced down to recollection without review, in a universe of consistent physics; a triviality of organic invincibility. Experience rendered down to self-sensual recall without existential considerations; meaningless. Prejudice: to accept the delusion that no human can consider and choose. For experience to outweigh sense and sensible prudence and suggest in definite physicality that humanity is as inorganic as the constructs we purpose. Triviality to the concept of Slave, is Mass to Gravity, either one hypothetical without the physics of Trivialization or Mass. One requiring the circumstance of genesis, the other requiring absence of necessity; Nativitus Ancillae. Relativity: the universe revolves around you, but only if you watch with others; relativity born of tripartite geometry; self (observing), other (conferring), objective (occurring): co-intimate experience and co-context. Relativity: all things can happen to you, most didn't, you only know what you think, you only think what you can hypothesize, all understanding revolves around perception and interaction. Understanding and position; relative. Hypothesis: a proposition of a form unsensed in the physical, in the definition "scientific" it is the Fructus Ventris Physica Quantitatis; the guessable, potent in measurability, invisibilia ad carnalis, observationis codificationem. Hypothesis: a concept just beyond sensible observation but within sensory or facultative relativity to intimate comprehension; the space an observer feels safe to coniectura didicit doctrina. A cerebrum exercitium. Meaningless: the words of any personal exposition without the person. Interpretation of intended and intimate communication removed from its physical occurrence. To hypothesize in the spirit of Freud, all are I. Meaningless: a description of a building behind it's façade to a man on the street. Definition without sensible example; invisibility bestowed by the suggestibility of the potent potentiality of descriptionem alienum. Reference without experience, definition without context, experience without definition, definition without reference; to theorize on fancy, the possibilities of cause bereft of "scientific" prejudice towards provable. A description of the unseen to the comfortable in sense, and sensibility; hypothesis delivered socially by the perfecte mediocris to their perfecte mediocris aetatis. Interest and applause humilis, the sermo aequalis. Contemporary communication, external warehouse for internal deliberation. Deliberatio externa by contrast is built on extra-contemporary, the functional in sense and nerve unwilling to mal-hypothesize popularis prudentia. By definition a contemporary is both naturally occurring and actively intersecting, or it is a generational (illusory), built of temporal coincidence. Meaningless in contemporations intimate, capable of saying they share an age. The addict kind Lonliness is a myth spread by the ill, unwelled by popular delusion (self accepted). The sickly, pulsing out their (self) comforting radiance, the marking of a predators territory. A light to shine on all slow enough to not revile it for it's false and reason less eviction of self from capability. The prey; uninitiated youth, vulnerable innocence. Argue not with the aged (or experienced) self-convinced. The miracle of emotional conformation of physical fact convincing to the unknowing, under steady application, overly sweetened (for the self) ideals of pleasure and comfort, the prey forget they knew a peace that didn't requiring feeding or explanation. The virtue of falsely buoyed stability grinding the ignorant, young, and uncatered, all taken in by the sin of kindness as apex. To gift the sickness that tells a human "human emotion in the negative is unnecessary and beyond comprehension or tolerance". To know that there are those in the world of humanity, who in their generationally refined adherence to parasite coddling, will continue to teach the youth "drugs are a healthy and functional right of aware and intelligent people" is a mark of shame in this age of our collective development. The truth of human being betrayed by the proposed necessity of stimulation beyond the natural state, it's supposed normality vouchsafed; sobriety (health) ignored as a greater insanity than parasitism. Salve the wounded pride of the vulgar addict, crucify the outspoken advocate of reassessment. This is not a statement of conflict, rather a portrait of the true and natural order in it's biased equality (comfort belonging to those who crave it most). Exogeny In an era of fear, humanity is tested. The exodus of existential loneliness is a heavy burden. Self-indulgent contemporary values, the pitiful death of the faithful gregarious martyr. Silenced in the passion of virtue, in the fury of desire as necessity, the ideal dies for the joy of man as the ideal devotee of nothing. Endogenous evidence of exogenous truth, derived from noble prejudiced purposes, refutes the pathologies of nature as the folly of prosaic and sensible sustainability. Euphoria at any cost, at any cost.

Knowledge of self is the highest form of spirituality. Your true identity as a human being means everything.

[@lloydshinaali]

Joshua Maponga III, a renowned theologian, has delved deep into African Spirituality, challenging conventional Christian principles. His extensive knowledge prompts a reevaluation of the influence of Christianity and other religions on our thinking, suggesting they serve as tools for control and disconnection from nature. By exploring his insights, one begins to question ingrained beliefs and societal programming. Maponga's teachings encourage reconnecting with our cultural roots, understanding our genealogy, and learning from our ancestors to shape a better future. African spirituality, he argues, offers profound wisdom and is far from barbaric. Listening to Maponga's wisdom inspires a deeper understanding of our heritage and environment, fostering personal growth and societal change.

Let us now be humble, all of humanity, and heal the tremendous wounds from unspeakable barbarism committed by us against our neighbours since time immemorial. This work will not allow for any childish blame games or victimisation or idealisation. We need mature and rise to the occasion now.

[@thomasflewellyn4848]

My brother Joshua, I love the nature and spirit in which you speak. however, I have to differ with you immensely. I'm probably One of the more qualified people who can disagree with you because. I am an African American who did not grow up in Christianity and was searching for a religion and in my college years I found it through African spirituality. so much so that I taught it and got initiated as an African priest in Ghana. Two parts. prior to that in my journey I was practicing Yoruba. I understand African cosmology and spirituality and it wasn't until I became about 40 that I was spiritually introduced to the love of Jesus Christ. and I must tell you that I know for a fact. that is the right path. not only for me because I don't want people to fall into the trap of oh well, that's just your path man! no, this is the correct path for all human beings . it's not demonic to be spiritual but African spirituality as you're defining it is ultimately controlled by demons. how do I know I used to worship him in the animal sacrifices that I did in the same things you're talking about where we go to the rivers and talk to the ancestors and talk to the nature spirits even to the point where we used to evoke dwarfs which people would know as leprechauns they always come out looking very demonic and so I have a very very clear understanding of the trickery and deception. but at the same time I won't ever take away the beauty of the people of Africa and their love for nature Aunt their connection. you are correct about that. the problem is that's what Satan loves to exploit. he exploits the beauty of the people and corrupts it by making them worship. it doesn't matter if you say they're not worshiping. they are worshiping the river. they are worshiping the air the sky because eventually they give it a name and they talk to it in a way of worshiping. it's not a reverence like you're trying to say. it is actual worship and it is even to the point where they will create altars. in fact, there's no limit to the amount of altars that will ultimately be created for the entities you're talking about. so yes in the beginning it sounds all sweet and nice. and your voice is nice with a nice tone and it makes it sound like it's so simple. but the fact is I have been there brother. I know it as well as if not better than you and most and I promise you that there are demons. that are invading African spirituality. are people in Africa are beautiful people very spiritual people. very loving. people have a great relationship with nature. however, for the last time I'll say it that is being exploited and the only way that you can combat that is through the nature of the one who actually controls the whole universe. who is God? as expressed through Jesus Christ and the holy Spirit, there are three entities that have the right to be called God as a whole functioning together. I love and respect you for what you're saying but I disagree and will never stop disagreeing because of my actual knowledge and experience. God bless you

I love hearing from this Man. Since discovering him few years ago. More people need to hear this information. This is the stuff that will jolt us back to reality coz everything else takes us away from ourselves

[@Mwenewazvo164]

Agreed

That's a deep composition only the wise can understand much love much respect. The white man wants to keep you in bondage nothing else.

I am so glad to see African spirituality so accessible on KZbin. When I started searching it was mostly Indian and American and even when I searched for something more African it was limited. Now it seems to have taken a quantum leap. I would love to be part of this. I will start by subscribing. I am from Namibia.

When you leave the African to practice his spirituality by using the land the waters and the trees as servant spirits, you expose them to possible destruction should they encroach on a territory governed by another African fully submitted to Yeshua. Id love to hear his thoughts on this. Very interesting video to break down and ingest especially learning that Maponga was a Bishop for 30 years. This video provokes thought, also what are the intricate details surrounding his walk in the faith as a bishop. So many questions I have. All in all this video provokes thought and testing of what he says. To add, we must also not apply logic when speaking on spiritual matters (only in the African spiritual context of shrines and 'pulling' energy from land, water, trees where set processes bring specific outcomes as it is servant spirit based, you will arrive at a logically satisfactory end) when you look at the spirit of God/Yeshua one cannot apply logic and arrive at a satisfactory end, yes there are processes to follow to maximise on spiritual power however it cannot be fit into a logical box that you can figure out at any time because you are dealing with a King who does as he pleases. This is an authority discussion on a spiritual level I agree with Maponga on the institution of religion being used to brainwash. What I would challenge is this, give a man a bible and send him to the bush to read it and instruct him to come back after deep meditation on the text, when he returns ask him of his revelations. I can almost guarantee that you will not be able to render him institutionalized. I say this cognizant of the kinds of the bibles we have today some would class them as "incomplete'' or ''doctored''. Spiritual matters run deep, the question is whose measuring stick has hit the bottom of the matter

I feel like crying bro.. I've always been saying rastafarianism is way closer to the standard of living than Christianity it just makes me feel closer to God loving every child and every animal loving mother nature and celebrating the living and not planning life after death.. thanks for your knowledge I will not stop until i have better understanding of life🙏🏿🙏🏿 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@dlepuno]

You’re not close to God but you’re a true God let that sink in your mind. As Africans we always knew that God is nature, nature is life and life is all living organisms including humans. Hence we don’t believe and subscribe to the notion of personification of God especially as a man living in the sky.

A great African thinker

[@theealfahouse]

Thank you for recognizing the brilliance of African thinkers!

[@theshauneallanshow]

African spirituality is about language. Language explains Masculinity and Femininity. We need communicators that can teach this to the world.

[@THEDOB254]

One day, man will realize that his own I AM-ness is the God he has been seeking throughout the ages, and that his own sense of awareness his consciousness of being is the one and only reality and that is what Maponga is talking about.

Gratitude for sharing. Awareness is vital.

[@abuengmahape8743]

Thanks. This was great and informative. I didn’t know the history of Ntate Maphanga 🙏🏾. I’ve lived an atheist lifestyle for most of my life until I was forced to confront myself and found myself….then I found my spirituality. The religion that arrived in 1652 is totally unfit for an African existence.🙏🏾. Our African proverbs provide guidance of how we need to live.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Joshua Maponga is indeed a great person to have a conversation with.

[@seille3774]

I am a child of Africa and I am proud of my roots and my identity. I am fully aware of the context by which Christianity reached my people and what it was used to do against our people. I agree with Joshua Maponga on his points about indigenous spirituality, but I find him to be a little skewed in the delivery of his ideas. If he understands the difference between spirituality and religion, why does he not acknowledge the spirituality that is veiled within our study of Christianity? If he can also recognise the beauty of our spirituality, why does he not speak on the reality of the spiritual corruption that has haunted our people? There are two stories to be investigated in my opinion. The first is the relationship of the African man to spirits in the context of African spirituality. Here Joshua gives the beautiful examples of our relations to nature, and animals and plants. What I'd love to hear from him is his explanations of the corruption that can arise within African Spirituality. On the other hand we have the story of Christianity and the role of the Christian narrative in reconciling man to spirits. Here Joshua gives the ugly example of what can happen when the language and symbolism of spiritual realities within the Bible is misinterpreted by men and used to colonise the other and misinform his relations to nature and his fellow men. But, again what I would love to hear from Joshua is his take on the spiritual aspects of Christianity that he experienced in his days of submitting to the faith, and what he took from them. I want to know whether he thinks we should do away with Christianity as a religion, or Christian Spirituality, or both. I say these things because I see that Joshua is a highly intelligent man. He is gifted with intellectual capacity, and we are really at his mercy when it comes to sound explanations of these things. At the same time, I recognise that the realm of the spirit is much more superior to the realm of thought. These words he speaks. This wisdom he distributes to the African child. Is it mind, or is it spirit? That is my worry. Thank you

[@willymutinda6710]

Sbdy spoke my mind here. I 💯 respect JM on matters African spirituality, culture, critiques on christian worldview et Al but I've always wanted a deeper more understanding of these relationships. Being a Christian, from Kenya, Eastern region (kamba) I've had my christian experiences and read through and through African spirituality and all these make sense to me. My only challenge is in establishing the relationship between the spirituality in the African context and Christian perspective since both have proven to be substantively sensible in day to day experiences especially when it comes to studying and understanding nature. Permaculture has proven that harmonious rshps btwn humans and natural ecosystems speak a lot more to spirituality more than via any other worldview

[@pianoman2215]

While Maponga correctly asserts that white people took the spirituality out of Christianity, he doesn’t seem to recognize the ability African people to put it back in, which I believe is part of our Divine assignment in America. As a Christian, I can see the true gospel of Christ contains many of the same elements that Bishop Maponga is expressing.

[@seille3774]

@@willymutinda6710 The reason why I need to investigate Joshua's standing is to establish what spirit stands on his well of knowledge, from which his words flow. I want to understand the essence behind his advocacy for African Spirituality, and his intent to challenge an African child's perception of Christianity. I want to understand this because I have had some experiences in my life in which the presence and effect of spirit beings invaded my space and gave me a resource other than knowledge /wisdom I didn't know I needed. That resource is Conviction. My heart, and my mind are under the conviction that I was touched by a being from eternity in my labours of faith as a young Christian African man. Within the context of my Christian beliefs, I am convicted that the Almighty God allowed me to perceive that he has a great and glorious plan for me, as an African child. In the days when this conviction was furnished upon my heart, I faced opposition from dark spirits. Their presence was evident in the rendering of my dreams, in strange thoughts, in coincidences in life, and even some of my family members spoke in the same frequency as these spirits. These dark spirits have a way of hiding in culture. They speak to my family names. They call our names and program all kinds of degenerate things into our experiences. I realised that I can't trust anything that advertises itself as good to me. My labours in the spirit of my Christian faith afforded me clarity and conviction on things that most will never know about this things we refer to as Spirituality. when the grasp of these dark spirits was loosened, so much happened to me in so much positivity that thinking about it makes me tear up. I had no idea my misfortunes were programmed into my blood. I had no idea it wasn't by chance. I was following a script already written for me, in which I was a victim. Now, I don't doubt that our ancestors may have walked with the Almighty, but I believe also that there was a reason why we had to be reintroduced to him in the context of our Christian beliefs. If a corrupt man can be in power over a few million people of a country for decades, and cause so much damage in the lives and destinies of his own people, best believe that a corrupt spirit is capable of immeasurably more. I stand for the Christian faith because when it comes to this spiritual talk, I have had my little spiritual experiences that have shown me that Christ is a Spiritual reality. The Holy Spirit is a spiritual reality. And so is the devil and his minions. This is why I am uncomfortable when Joshua Maponga, whom I consider a powerful voice in the destiny of Africa, seems to be careless about his presentation of the idea of Christianity. A real Christian does not pray to cement and paint. A real christian is one who lives in the realities implied by his faith in Christ. The question I ask Joshua is, " What is the name of your god? Are you with us, the African children seeking TRUTH, or are you against us?"
