Prof Edward Bynum – Our African Unconscious
How are we all rooted in an African template?
Rooted in archaeology, anthropology, depth psychology and genetics, Our African Unconscious details how all of us as human beings, regardless of our surface differences, are in our deepest core, both psychically and physically, based in an African template. Millions of us already intuitively sense this to be true. Going far beyond “Eastern” and “Western” perspectives, Our African Unconscious presents a warm, powerful and inclusive scientific and healing vision our deeper shared consciousness and identity as a species.
Exploring the beginning of early religions, spirituality, and mysticism in Africa, along with philosophy, art, and science, the author looks at the Egyptian Nubian role in the rise of civilization and the emergence of Kemetic Egypt, revealing how and why ancient Egypt was separated from the rest of Africa in the Western mind—despite it being the most sophisticated expression of the Mother Continent. He examines the Oldawan, the Ancient Soul, and its correlation with what modern psychologists have defined as the collective unconscious. Revealing the spiritual and psychological ramifications of our shared African ancestry, the author examines its reflections in the present confrontation in the Americas, in the work of the Founding Fathers, and in modern Black spirituality, which arose from African diaspora religion and philosophy.
By recognizing our shared African unconscious, the matrix that forms the deepest luminous core of human identity, we can learn to see and feel that the differences between one person and another are merely superficial and ultimately there is no real separation between the material and the spiritual.
