This is a promotion and education of Akan/Afrikan spiritual system and philosophy.


The continent of Africa has been home to several ancient philosophies. We earlier saw the serer religion a complex and a rich philosophy that aligns itself well with the ancient Dharmic thoughts.

The knowledge postulated the presence of an infinite god energy (called the brahman, the oversoul or infinite consciousness) and that a self, a soul which is a part of the divine exists within each being. Actions of the self in this world (karma) dictates the progression of the soul towards salvation and this progression can last over various cycles of birth and death. We see in the Akan religion yet another ancient religion that aligns with the tenets of this ancient wisdom.

Akan Spirituality

Unreported World investigates how one influential preacher in Kenya could have led hundreds of men, women and children to their deaths. Symeon Brown tracks down the survivors and the families searching for loved ones to find out if this was mass suicide, or mass murder.

So far 429 bodies have been exhumed from graves in Shakahola forest where Pastor Paul Mackenzie’s followers are believed to have starved to death. The leader of the so-called death cult is said to have promised his followers protection from the 'coming apocalypse'. Mackenzie denies any wrongdoing.

Meanwhile another church, Rainbow Ministries, is facing a crackdown for cult-like behaviour. But where is the line between faith and extremism?

Abstract
The study of Etymology is concerned with the history and origin of words, but it can also tell us about the history and origin of the people who use the words, how they live, their life, and the direction in which they are heading. This talk looks at the African words in the Jamaican language and discusses how these words chart the history, present and future of the people who use these words.
