I explore the concept of "Supreme Divine Force" found in nature, specifically using the example of a head-pad made from a cassava twig that allows one to carry heavy loads without fatigue. I connect this phenomenon to the spiritual significance of minerals and gemstones, explaining that they possess similar energy which makes life flow smoothly, a secret often suppressed by colonial influences.
The Concept of Divine Force.
I want to remind everyone of a crucial lesson before we officially begin our scheduled classes. Drawing from the teachings of Mwalimu Mombe Mombera, I am reflecting on the "Supreme Divine Force" (Nguvu Kuu Tukufu Takatifu). This force is often represented by sacred geometries and natural objects like the spiral of the snail shell, pyramids, gourds, and horns. It is vital that we do not forget these foundational elements because there are so many distractions filling our heads these days.
Biblical Symbolism of Power.
To illustrate this ancient power, I look at the story of Samuel from the Bible. When he went to the house of Jesse to anoint a new King of Israel, he didn't just go empty-handed. The scriptures state clearly that he carried a "horn" filled with olive oil. This is not a coincidence; the horn (pembe) represents a vessel of power and authority, a tangible object used to channel spiritual intent, much like the objects our ancestors used which are often demonized today.
The Mystery of the Cassava Twig.
Let us look at a practical example from our own traditions, specifically regarding the cassava plant (Muhogo). There is a specific practice where a small pad (kata) is fashioned from cassava twigs or leaves and placed on the head to carry loads. When used, a person can carry an immensely heavy weight like five debes of maize without feeling the true weight or getting tired. This is not just physics; the twig possesses a specific "plant force" that acts as a miraculous support, negating the burden of the physical load.
The True Value of Minerals.
This same principle applies to minerals and gemstones. Just as the cassava twig holds power, precious stones hold a vibration that commands high value in the global market. When you enter the world market, minerals are prioritized above all else. This is why colonial powers have historically discouraged us from using them, labeling our connection to these earth elements as "witchcraft" or bad luck, while they secretly extract and hoard them for their own benefit.
Historical Exploitation and Awareness.
I recall what the late President Magufuli said regarding our resources. He noted that outsiders were taking "samples" of sand and mud abroad, claiming it was for testing, but in reality, they were extracting the valuable minerals hidden within. They understand that if Africans realize the spiritual and economic power contained in our own rocks and resources, we will cease to be their laborers and "misukule" (mindless zombies). They fear the day we wake up to the power of what lies beneath our feet.
Living a Smooth Life.
Finally, understanding and utilizing these elements changes your daily reality. When you wear or utilize these minerals, your life moves smoothly, without friction. It is like the example of you receiving money or drinks for your birthday effortlessly; things just align for you. Just like the cassava pad makes a heavy burden feel light, connecting with the spiritual force of minerals removes the heaviness from your life journey.
