Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Africans, perhaps around 5500 BC, established a tradition based upon truth, goodness, beauty, and other immaterial and intangible aspects of things of worth. Believing all of God’s creations were forever linked, they focused on having good relations with and behaviors toward fellow human beings and with nature – both for the purpose of reaching a heaven afterlife. Out of these concepts arose the sense of community, including the practice of no person being left behind. Echoes of Ancient African Values discusses who Ancient Africans were as a people; their genius and creative ways of thinking; their philosophical and spiritual foundations; and their world shaping achievements. Unfortunately, peoples throughout the world have failed to realize or acknowledge the fact that Ancient Africans have produced the most brilliance civilization and culture the world has ever known. This applies whether the measure is by significance, greatness, or numbers. The fashioning of such brilliance inside high morals not only transcended space and time but also designed sublime echoes. A major premise of this book is that these echoes were extremely instrumental in enabling Ancient African slaves to survive their hellish situation as well as having ongoingly contributed to the recovery of Black Americans from the effects of slavery. Numerous examples are given. Otherwise, what is stressed to all peoples in the world is that Ancient African Values contain workable answers for solving every type of problem concerning humanity.

Those of our guests who themselves have some culinary expertise and indeed any who have ever attempted to prepare a dinner party know that a good menu starts with correct recipes to make the meal both enjoyable and memorable. My training at the Culinary Institute of America taught me to read the written recipe with much discernment. Thus, I have tried to make these recipes as straightforward as possible, leaving nothing to chance for you. A complete step-by-step guide to build signature sauces is how I want you to lean to add that expert touch to every dish. They reflect my collection from over forty years in the numerous establishments I have worked. The sixty sauces are "finger-licking-good." The first section is designed to be an alchemy of goodness, but it does not stop there. The soup recipes range from broth style with egg and cheese to Clam Chowder, Cream of Cauliflower and more, ending with Lobster Bisque. The entrees chapter provides a sampling of the most favored American meats: beef, Cornish hens, lamb, veal, pork, seafood, and others; and, their recipes will be a good cooking foundation for the novice as well as the expert. Recipes in the accompaniments yield full-flavor and are exquisitely aromatic. They are an essential component of the meal. Experience Caponata, ratatouille, or as a stand alone, County-Style Pate'. Desserts range from delicate and delectable, to classically comfortable. Whatever their degree of complexity, desserts demand close attention to detail, whether in removing the pith from an orange peel or in carefully separating eggs for a custard. The ingredients themselves are seldom elaborate unlike my recipes: tortes, tarts, mousses, soufflés, crepes, pies, cakes, sorbets, and trifles. When you have cooked your way through my book you will feel more comfortable in your own kitchen. My recipes draw upon the techniques and flavors of cultures from around the world as the seamlessly integrate European traditionalism with Asian minimalism and American ingenuity and spontaneity. The book provides dishes for home entertaining.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout international Black Communities it is common knowledge that the world-shaping and world-changing creations, inventions, and discoveries of Ancient Africans have been plagiarized by the ancient Greeks and that subsequently practically all the remainder have been destroyed by nature or intentionally; diluted and polluted by "borrowers"; rewritten or repainted to appear "Nordic White"; falsely attributed to ancient non-African cultures; viewed from a racially prejudiced or biased mindset; or suppressed by conspiracy.

Download or read book The Future has an Ancient Heart written by Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist cultural historian Lucia Chiavola Birnbaum caps her previous work with The Future has an Ancient Heart, a scholarly study of the transformative legacy of African origins and values of caring, sharing, healing, and vision carried by African migrants throughout the world. Birnbaum focuses on the long endurance of these values from the first human communities in south and central Africa, ones that Africans manifested in the region of the African mediterranean landmass that later separated Africa from Europe and Asia when the ice melted and waters rose. These migrants reached every continent and later became spiritual as well as geograpical migrations back to Africa, from ancient times to the transformative present. Using the same methods as her teaching, Birnbaum employs a mutual learning process in her work to help us think about our own ancestral story, adding to the wisdom we need to surmount contemporary crises and give us the energy to help bring a more equal and just world into being. Her methodologies are grounded on empirical techniques of science and the social sciences and yet leave openings for the liminal knowledge that resides underneath and beyond boundaries of established religions, secular ideologies, and conventional science. A true work of transformation, The Future has an Ancient Heart opens the door to new possibilities within our world.

This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Tradition is built on the innate"What it is" of oneself and life living that "Underlie" "how things appear" and "what things do." "Underlying" contents consist of Nature's infinite Foundation of Unified Complexity and multiplicity Patterns. These rest on the Ultimate of all Cosmic Orders-- the Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality and the Natural--all Orderly orchestrated by the boundless Force, which Ancient Africans called Sekhem. This book deals with the Instincts, Common Sense, Creativity, Reasoning, Knowledge, Logic and Wisdom faculties naturally developing from ones inborn Pure Emotions and Pure Intellect. Their presented patterns are from my interpretations of African Tradition methods. Yet, vital to Thought Harmony inside creative explorations of the infinite "Underlyings" is Critical Thinking --serving like a protective, defending and guiding "seeing eye dog." These processes express ones innate Selfhood Greatness--derived from possessing a Spark of God + the supreme Ancient African "Genetics" + a "Unique" Talent to be a bridge to ones Mission in life. Proper use of these thinking faculties, while staying within Nature's Processes, make one a "Non-Self" individual--meaning "because we are, therefore I am"--and thus oriented to producing "ME/WE" benefits.Also addressed are the Healing for and Protective Measures against the European mindsets and methods used to generate massive Maafas (immeasurable catastrophes) on Black People.
