Taharka:
Than you very much for leavin...Peace Bro. Taharka:<br /><br />Than you very much for leaving a comment on my blog and I appreciate your input and thoughts. Firstly, I do not recognize the United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) as a legitimate authority or sovereign body over Ancient Freemasonry. The three or four lodges that met in 1717 and established what became known as the UGLE is very much a modern entity and institution (I take it all the way back to Kemet and not England). Their authority was perhaps rooted in the same mindset of domination, imperialism, colonialism (that ruled the modern world for over five centuries), etc., which was also rooted in an ideology of Eurocentrism and white supremacy. <br /><br />The ancient rites, rituals, sacraments, philosophy, and mysteries were stolen, rob and co-opted by different invaders who ventured in Kemet (Egypt) and they plundered and took the knowledge and claimed it as being part of their traditions and cultures. The best example of this would be Greece and Rome. Also, his history only goes back 6,000 years and what the white Masonic body offered to the world over 200 years ago was knowledge that belonged to you and I. <br /><br />Now, based on his history of imperialism and oppressing of the darker people of the planet, surely he was to culturally arrogant to even recognize or give credit to the originators of the knowledge. History is best qualified to reward all of our study. <br /><br />Moreover, I am authority on African history and have study Freemasonry from that perspective and origin; it really does not matter to me what European Freemasonry origin was and who sanction them or who didn't sanction them. <br /><br />My love and concern is dedicated to teaching the knowledge of self to the original man and woman and raising the consciousness of our people. Thank you for your comment and I hope my answer is satisfactory to you.<br /><br />Hotep,<br />Bro. Fahim A.

I came across your "KEEPING IT REAL" can you give me any insight on the Ancient Egyptian order I’ve been searching the internet for more information on the lodge before entering. Thank you!!”<br /><br />The Ancient Egiptian Order (AEO) is not affiliated with the Nuwaubian Grand Lodge. They are two seperate entities. <br /><br />Bro. Calvin Brumant: “Yes, I am familiar with both Manly P Hall and Madam Blavatsky. However I am trying to tie in the connection between the 9 planes of existence, the nine enneads of ancient Egypt and the 7 liberal arts in the second degree. My intent was to draw a connection especially between the 7 Liberals Arts science and 7 of the 9 planes of existence/vibration. I think this is where we need to go with Freemasonry.<br /><br />This link my brother has already been made and can be found in the book entitled African Origin found in Religion and Freemasonry authored by Grand Master Michael Berkley. Please seek out that book for further information on the relationship you addressed. Additionally the word enneads is greek for nine, the egyptian word is Psedjet. <br /><br />Lastly to Bro Knight-El, I leave you with this question. what entity/governing body issued the charters for the 4 lodges that became GLE?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699687464593523869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957787817614691922.post-21871758521070280712010-10-26T10:23:08.383-07:002010-10-26T10:23:08.383-07:00Peace Bro.

Taylor:
Yes Sir, just wanted to thank ...Peace Bro. Taylor:<br /><br />Yes Sir, just wanted to thank you for always making comments on my Blog page. I know that Allah has granted your mother paradise and I remember the Christian issue relative to what mom expected from you. Thus, you and I had dialog about that issue and I am glad that I could assist in that area. If I was you, I would directly contact the Worshipful Master at New Florence Lodge #583 PHA and see how much it would require to reinstate and explain to him or to the secretary that your intentions is become active again in Georgia and would like to demit to another PHA lodge (but would like to get all the procedures straight with #583). I know in my jurisdiction, it doesn't cost that much to become reinstated after falling off the role. Sometimes the Grand Lodge may just give a generic answer, but the lodge that you were raised might just require a letter from you and small investigation and require you to pay may be 150.00 reinstatement fee and may be one year of dues (dues are normally paid annually) so if your dues are 200.00 annually that would be what you are looking at relative to a dollar amount. You might be looking at a total tab of $350.00 as opposed to paying $750.00. Thus, after making contact with # 583, I would be persistent and not let them drop the ball in Alabama. Lastly, whatever town/city you are presently living in Georgia, I would seek a meeting with the Worshipful Master in George and explain your situation to him and let him know of your intentions to demit to his lodge. I would also ask him could he assist in the process. But you want to start to immediately building quasi and passive relationships with brothers in your prospective new lodge.<br /><br />Hotep,<br />Bro. Fahim A.

We communicated through email not long ago when I was telling you about me losing my mother and how she raised me as a Christian and I felt that I was betraying her by choosing another spiritual route. You gave me the best advice and I'm using that. I can't thank you enough for helping me. My name is Jason Taylor and I'm a Prince Hall Mason associated with The New Florence Lodge #583 out of Florence, AL. My only question is this. I've been suspended from my lodge for failure to maintain my dues. I was raised in 1997 while in college. I had to move from Alabama to Georgia so my mom could get better medical care. So I was struggling to pay my dues, so I stopped. As I told you, my mom passed on 12/8/09. I've always wanted to get back to legitimate status with the lodge, so I contacted the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Alabama and explained my situation and they explained the route I must take. The only issue is that it costs $750 to get myself reinstated without burial privileges. Do you know of anyone or anyway that may know a way around this large sum to pay. I can't afford it. I know that I will always be a Prince Hall Mason in my heart, but I guess I don't feel like a legit brother unless a lodge stands behind me. :( God bless you my brother.
