The Walk Of Faith is a glass walkway built off the side of a cliff 1,430 meters in the air. This 60 meter long walk is not meant for the faint of heart.

The path is located on Tianmen Mountain in China’s Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park.

The imporantace of Oral Traditions pt 1.

Perhaps no other method of engendering mystical teachings to future generations is as old as the ORAL TRADITION. The continent of Africa has a plethora of cultures and tribes which still pass along supreme wisdoms by virtue of a GRIOT (African Story-teller) or TRIBAL WISDOM-KEEPER. The Ancient Kemetic culture of Africa was no different and one term used to distinguish a person who bore the great responsibilities of remembering the ORAL TRADITION was “SEDJ’DEE.” The “SEDJ’DEE” was often associated with the “HEM NETER TEPI” or “the priesthood” and their capacity to retain voluminous amounts of information would easily be considered a “miracle” by modern standards. In short, the “SEDJ’DEE” was a literal “WALKING LIBRARY.” Often the traditions passed along by ancient WISDOM-KEEPERS will differ from the traditions accepted in modern academia and by “experts” or they could have an alternate hidden (esoteric) meaning. For this work we will start with Kemet to uncover a few of the hidden oral traditions of Ancient Kemet assisted largely by Griot baba ABD’EL HAKIM AWYAN, who has spent countless years in Kemet as a wisdom-keeper being chosen as a child by female wisdom-keepers of his tribe.

  1. One of the first teachings that baba ABD’EL HAKIM stresses is that Kemet was a VERY ancient AFRICAN civilization that could very-well be older than 30,000 years and during that time, it has been known by many “secret” names. One of the most cherished names that the land we now call “EGYPT” was known by was “HET KA PTAH.” PTAH is the so-called “creator-god” who hails from MEN’NEFER (Memphis) and it is taught that he manifested things into being from the primeval waters of NUN by using the power of thought and divine speech. The Ancient Kemetic concept of the “KA” embodies the understanding of that aspect of one’s being which “hovers” over the physical body as a “SOUL TWIN” or the “ABSTRACT EGO.” The “KA” is a “projection” of the physical body, not the “BA” (soul) which resides in the body and exits at the time of one’s physical transition (death). The Kemetic term “HET” has a few meanings and the one which factors in the name “HET KA PTAH” is: “place”, “front”, “first”, “before” or “fore.” Therefore one of the ancient names of Kemet, HET KA PTAH means “BEFORE THE KA OF PTAH” or it is also interpreted as “A PLACE BEFORE THE KA PROJECTION OF PTAH.” It is interesting to note that the ancient name of the place HET KA PTAH was known to the ancient Greeks as “HI-GI-PTOS” in their transliteration. “HI-GI-PTOS” is the origin of the Greek term, “AEGYPTOS” which is where the term “EGYPT” is derived.

Also according to Kemetic myth before the time of writing, all records were kept strictly to human memory by a select class of men and women who were usually priests. The goddess of knowledge, Seshat invented writing to make communication and the delivery of messages easier (Seshat is most likely an ancient Ancestor). Her husband Djehuti argued though that humans might get lazy and not bother remembering the records on their own especially if these records become lost or damaged.

Kony 2012 Cover the Night fails to move from the internet to the streets

The Kony 2012 Cover the Night campaign woke up to awkward questions on Saturday after activists failed to blanket cities with posters of the wanted Ugandan warlord, Joseph Kony.
The movement’s phenomenal success in mobilising young people online, following last month’s launch of a 29-minute documentary which went viral, flopped in trying to turn that into real world actions.
The campaign aimed to plaster “every city, on every block” around the world with posters, stickers and murals of Kony to pressure governments into hunting down the guerrilla leader, who has waged a brutal, decades-long insurgency in central Africa.
But paltry turnouts on Friday at locations across north America, Europe and Australia left cities largely unplastered and the movement’s credibility damaged. “What happened to all the fuss about Kony?” said one typical tweet. “Kony is so last month,” said another.
Elissa O’Dell, 24, an activist in Los Angeles, put a brave face on the fact just her and two other volunteers attended the painting of a mural on an auto dealership off Santa Monica Boulevard.
“It’s just been us the entire day,” she said on Friday. Another campaigner took photographs while an artist painted the mural, which said “Our liberty is bound together”.
“The point of Cover the Night is for our community of supporters to give something back, pick up trash, paint schools, some direct, local action,” said O’Dell. So, where was everybody? “We didn’t expect people here,” said O’Dell. Supporters were to place posters in coffeeshops, fire and police stations and other locations. “The response has been terrific. Tomorrow people will wake up and see our posters everywhere.”
But on Saturday the boulevard, and according to reports the rest of LA and other cities, were largely free of Kony.
The campaign also tanked on twitter. “Find the silence around #Kony’12 interesting. It’s muted embarrassment from prior supporters, mixed with quiet smugness from detractors,” said one tweet.
