Bailey's African Tradition Spiritual/Metaphysical/Physical Concepts Volume 28 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794003019)

In the Setting of Hunting cultures, featuring no division of labor + individualistic Self-Discovery--African Tradition began its formalization by Primitive African Shaman. Each 'Medicine Man' went alone into the forest/jungle to undergo Psychic Ordeals to establish Self-Reliance and to keep realizing all humans are equal and the interconnections of all life. Using herbs to arouse their Life-Force into manifesting Trance psychic phenomena, Rock Art indicates they saw Form-Constants--geometric shapes--"memory deposits" giving Spiritual Knowings. Then, doing deep "pot-belly shaped" diaphragmatic breathing--so as to withdraw the focal point of consciousness from their senses + induce a mental wakefulness state of 50 times the norm--they were "Inspired" (in + breath or spirit animation) into an "awakening by divine influence." Once their consciousness was raised to the higher parts of their Spirits, itself interdependent with their bodies, they focused resultant powers for use in healing, divination, and clairvoyance. Since, for Primitive Africans, the culture and environment were essentially the same, their various brilliant "Seed" ideas were combined with later efforts of Ancient African Sages to form profound and never equaled Thinking skills. This may have been the spur for African Sages to devise Africans' Philosophy of Life + consider Sacred Geometrical Forms in the heavens + such concepts as Thought-Forces, Element Numbers, and Music of the Spheres. This book discusses their ramifications and contrasts this with those reared by Agrarian based societies.
