As Afrikans and myself as a New Afrikan, our Ancient Afrikan Nile Valley Ancestors realized that the key basis of life (‘Ankh’) was based on energy. According to our Ancestors life ‘emanated’ out of Nun (Dark Energy). Nun’s name means ‘primevalwaters’ representing the waters of infinite life; Nun’s qualities were darkness and boundlessness.
Out of Nun emerged the ‘Energetic Deity’ concept of ‘Amen-Ra’, Amen means ‘the hidden one’ or ‘the secret one’ that self-emanated out of Nun and then everything else emanated in order from Nun. Amen was the original inscrutable and indivisible emanatory Creative Life-Force that became manifested through Ra (Sun - light energy ‘waves’). Amen-Ra represented our Ancient Afrikan Ancestors concept of ‘duality’ and ‘balance’. Our Ancestors understood that Nun continued to surround the ordered cosmos and that each day Ra rose from the waters of chaos.
Our Ancestors believed that Ra was the face of Amen and we were the body of Amen; that as Afrikans we were an embodiment (Melanin) of dark energy and light; that Ra sustains our lives with his light energy through photosynthesis that provides us with phytonutrients; that our purpose in life was to understand our personal energy system 'Chakras' internal rainbow ('7 Rays of Re') and to use it for 'Health' and 'Peace' (Hotep); that the universe and our essential identity as Afrikans was energy thus Afro-Energetics! - Kwado Akoma Akofena
