Our Indigenous Rights

Our Indigenous Rights and Shared Beliefs

Our Statement of Faith

The Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. We embrace Spirituality (spiritual individualism, spiritual collectivism and spiritual dialogue), which involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than ourselves, something more to being human than sensory experience, and that the greater whole which we are part of is cosmic or divine in nature.Various holy doctrines speak with authority concerning truth, morality and the proper conduct of humans and mankind. We are mastering ourselves by applying esoteric knowledge and spiritual lessons. Wisdom is the sole and final source of all that we believe. We are determined to evolve, prosper, and flourish in all aspects of our lives, operating in the spirit of divine love and oneness. For purposes of promoting Holy doctrines, spiritual practice, universal laws, policies and discipline, our Governing Board is the church’s ( spiritual temple’s) final interpretive authority on our spiritual beliefs meaning and application.

We believe the follow statements listed and apply it as our truth:

The Great Spirit

The Great Spirit and Ultimate Source made the world, and all that is in it, from its own body. The Great Spirit is the “Supreme Being” referred to by Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples. We honor its natural connection with mother earth and practice living in oneness, peace, love, and harmony. As Indigenous Native Americans and Aborigines, we do not have one single religion. We share different belief systems among our peoples. Many of the religions share similarities, like an ultimate creator. Place and nature are important, as well as sacred, or holy spaces.

Native American Spirituality

Native American Spirituality is diverse, with each nation and community having its own traditions. However, some common characteristics include:

Creation as a living process

The universe is seen as a living being with movement and the ability to act.

Kinship with all things. All things are related, including animals, fish, trees, herbs, flowers, crystals, and rocks.
Gratitude

Public ceremonies often involve giving thanks or paying for gifts received.

Circular in nature

Encompasses the 7 sacred directions of West, North, East, South, Sky, Earth, and Center.

Values lean toward a cosmic identity

The harmony of the individual with the tribe, the tribe with the land, and the land with the spirit of the universe.

Sense of constancy

The timelessness and predictability of nature as the foundation of existence.

The Sacredness of the Circle- a universal symbol with many meanings, including wholeness, totality, infinity, and timelessness. It can also represent the infinite nature of energy, the inclusivity of the universe, and the cycles of time.
Taking care of Mother Earth and Father Sky

Native American/ Indigenous spirituality is decentralized and all-inclusive, and cannot be written down. Beliefs are learned by word of mouth and experience.

Our Nature & Anatomy

We believe we are electrical beings. Our spirit is electricity. Our Soul is magnetism. Our hearts produce a magnetic field around our bodies. We consist of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Atoms are made of extremely tiny particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, making up the nucleus. Electrons surround the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge. Electrons have a negative charge. Neutrons have no charge. Since opposite charges attract, protons and electrons attract each other.

Our Nationality

We are the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, Tainos, Blackfoot, Cherokee, Muurs (Moors), Egyptians, Israelites, Ethiopians, and other ancient tribes/nations. We are Indigenous to the entire planet.

We consists of 5 components:

Spirit- the indestructible God essence of Man/Woman
Soul- actions of the mind's powers (Thinking, Reasoning, Willing, & Understanding)
Body- flesh, human vehicle made of the earth; (often indigenous to the land of birth).

The Etheric energy system delivers energy to your physical body so that it can do everything that it does to enable you to generate your life experience. The Etheric energy system is connected to the emotional energy system and the mental energy system. The energy bodies are integrated and they speak to one another all the time.

This is part 1 in a 3-part series:

I: Physical Body (Etheric)

II: Emotional Body (Astral)

III: Mental Body (Causal)

Nationality- the descendant birth attachment and the special nation or tribe; Free National Name, Lineage identity.
Creed- religious/spiritual path of God Consciousness establishes forefather's vine and fig tree. The fig tree and vine are used to represent fruitfulness physically and spiritually.

Affirming also that all peoples contribute to the diversity and richness of civilizations and cultures, which constitute the common heritage of humankind,

Affirming further that all doctrines, policies and practices based on or advocating superiority of peoples or individuals on the basis of national origin or racial, religious, ethnic or cultural differences are racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust,

Reaffirming that indigenous peoples, in the exercise of their rights, should be free from discrimination of any kind,

Recognizing the urgent need to respect and promote the inherent rights of indigenous peoples which derive from their political, economic and social structures and from their cultures, spiritual traditions, histories and philosophies, especially their rights to their lands, territories and resources, Recognizing also the urgent need to respect and promote the rights of indigenous peoples affirmed in treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements with States,

Welcoming the fact that indigenous peoples are organizing themselves for political, economic, social and cultural enhancement and in order to bring to an end all forms of discrimination and oppression wherever they occur,

Emphasizing the contribution of the demilitarization of the lands and territories of indigenous peoples to peace, economic and social progress and development, understanding and friendly relations among nations and peoples of the world,

Recognizing in particular the right of indigenous families and communities to retain shared responsibility for the upbringing, training, education and well-being of their children, consistent

with the rights of the child,

Considering that the rights affirmed in treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements between States and indigenous peoples are, in some situations, matters of international concern, interest, responsibility and character,

Considering also that treaties, agreements and other constructive arrangements, and the relationship they represent, are the basis for a strengthened partnership between indigenous peoples and States,

Acknowledging that the Charter of the United Nations, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights 2 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, 2 as well as the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, 3 affirm the fundamental importance of the right to self-determination of all peoples, by virtue of which they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development,

Bearing in mind that nothing in this Declaration may be used to deny any peoples their right to self-determination, exercised in conformity with international law,

Convinced that the recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples in this Declaration will enhance harmonious and cooperative relations between the State and indigenous peoples, based on principles of justice, democracy, respect for human rights, non-discrimination and good faith,

Encouraging States to comply with and effectively implement all their obligations as they apply to indigenous peoples under international instruments, in particular those related to human rights, in consultation and cooperation with the peoples concerned,

Emphasizing that the United Nations has an important and continuing role to play in promoting and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples,

Believing that this Declaration is a further important step forward for the recognition, promotion and

protection of the rights and freedoms of indigenous

peoples and in the development of relevant

activities of the United Nations system in this field,

Recognizing and reaffirming that indigenous individuals are entitled without discrimination to

all human rights recognized in international law, and that indigenous peoples possess collective

rights which are indispensable for their existence, well-being and integral development as peoples,

Recognizing that the situation of indigenous peoples varies from region to region and from

Our Identity and Nationality

Native American Indians, Black Indians, American Negroes, African Americans, Mexicans, Tainos, West Indians, Carribbeans, and Black people of the Americas are Indigenous Natives of the Americas and Caribbeans, who were forced and/or tricked into reclassifying themselves as anything other than who we truly are. America is the true Old World and plenty of artifacts can validate this claim. America has the oldest and most pyramids worldwide linked to the origins of Old World religions, cultures, and civilizations. We consists of Atoms and the Mitochondrial Eve gene.

Atoms

An atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element, considered the basic building block of matter, consisting of a nucleus containing positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, surrounded by negatively charged electrons that orbit around it; the number of protons in an atom determines its element type, while the number of neutrons determines its isotope.

Key points about atoms:

Subatomic particles:

The three main subatomic particles that make up an atom are protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge).

Element identification:

The number of protons in an atom determines which element it is.

Isotopes:

Atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.

Structure:

Atoms have a central nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

A typical human body contains approximately 7 x 10^27 atoms (seven octillion atoms), with the vast majority being hydrogen and oxygen atoms, making up almost 99% of the body's atoms due to the high water content in the human body.

Key points about atoms in the human body:

Trace elements: While the majority of atoms are made up of the four main elements, the body also contains small amounts of other elements like calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium.

Dominant elements: Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up the vast majority of atoms in the human body.
Water composition: Most of the hydrogen atoms in the body are part of water molecules.

Mitochondrial Eve Gene

"Mitochondrial Eve" refers to the most recent common female ancestor from whom all living humans are descended, meaning she is the woman whose mitochondrial DNA is present in every living person today, as mitochondrial DNA is passed solely from mother to child; essentially, the "mother of all humans" based on genetic lineage through the maternal line.

Key points about Mitochondrial Eve:

Genetic basis:

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is located in the mitochondria of cells and is exclusively inherited from the mother.
Inference from mtDNA analysis:

By studying variations in mtDNA across populations, scientists can trace ancestry back to a single female ancestor, known as Mitochondrial Eve.
Estimated time period:

Based on current research, Mitochondrial Eve is believed to have lived in Africa around 200,000 years ago.

Important considerations:

Not the only woman alive at the time:

While Mitochondrial Eve is a significant figure in tracing human ancestry, it is crucial to understand that she was not the only woman alive at the time; rather, she is the one whose maternal line survived and is present in all living humans today.
"Genetic Adam":

Similar to Mitochondrial Eve, there is also a concept of a "Genetic Adam," representing the most recent common male ancestor, based on the Y chromosome.

American History

Before Europeans arrived, the continents may have been called "Zuania" or "Abya Yala". In many Native American cultures, the North American continent is called "Turtle Island".

The name "America" comes from Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci and was first used in 1507 on a world map by German cartopragher Martin Waldseemuller. The name was given in honor of Vespucci, who brought maps of the New World Order back to European Royal courts.

Before the name "America" was used, the area was known as "The Indies" by Spanish explorers. They believed the land was part of Eastern Asia, as did Columbus.

*Tens of millions "Black Americans" or rather "Indians" who disappeared in 1492, did not all die in the Holocaust inflicted within America. Hundreds of thousands were shipped to Europe and Africa as Indian slaves. The whole slave trade story was given to all of us in reverse. A mass colony of Africans were not shipped from Africa to America. The truth is that Black Indians were shipped from America to Europe. They were then shipped from Spain to Africa as a commodity for African Resources.These Black Indians, now mistaken as African Americans, were shipped back to America and was classified as so called "African Slaves". The part of our history is what the school systems felt to mention in history programs. The American Society was an organization formed in 1816 with the purpose of transporting free "African Americans" or rather "Indian Slaves" classified as Negroes back then, from the United States to settle on the West Coast of Africa. During the decades, the society honorated and transported over 12,000 people to Africa and the African Nation of Liberia was founded in 1822.

North America

Turtle Island is a name used by some Indigenous peoples in North and Central America to refer to the continent:

Other uses

Some Indigenous peoples, such as the Ojibwa, use the term to refer to the entire world.

Book

Turtle Island: The Story of North America's First People is a book that provides an overview of the history of North America before the arrival of European colonialists. Some say it's a useful addition to a world history bookshelf.

Meaning

The name comes from a creation myth shared by many Indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands of North America. The myth tells of a turtle holding the world on its back, and the turtle is considered a symbol of life.
Significance

The concept of Turtle Island is central to many Native American cultures, reflecting their spiritual beliefs and relationship with the Earth. It involves ideas such as respecting nature and ancestors, seeing the land as a relative, and understanding the interconnectedness of all living things.

The newly formed United States was originally called the "United Colonies". The name United States of America was first used in a letter written between two military officers in January 1776. The Continental Congress formally adopted the name on September 9, 1776.

South America

South America was previously known as "The Indies" or the "New World". The term "New World" originated in the 16th century after Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci published his pamphlet Mundus Novus, which concluded that the lands were a new continent. The term "America" was derived from Vespucci's name and was originally applied only to South America, but was soon used for the entire landmass.

The name "Latin America" began to be used in the 19th century after the independence movements of the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies ended. The region is often grouped under the name Latin America because Mexico and Central America share an Iberian heritage with nearly all of South America.

The indigenous peoples of South America originally called their land "Abya Yala", which means "living land" or "land that flourishes". Some argue that the use of the term "Abya Yala" rather than a term such as "New World" or "America" may indicate support for indigenous rights.

The original name of the Americas is not known with certainty, but there are several theories and names that have been proposed:

Babeque

A name that may have been used by the Indians in the Caribbean to refer to the mainland

Zuania

A name of Caribbean origin that may have referred to the American continent
Abya-Yala

A name used by the Kuna people of Panama that may have referred to the American continent
Amerrique

A name that may have come from a Carib word, and may have referred to the mainland

The Americas were also known by other names before the arrival of Europeans, including:

Parias: A name for the continent north of present-day Mexico

Baccalearum: A name for North America that appeared on a 1553 world map, meaning "realm of the Cod fish"

The name "America" is generally attributed to the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who brought detailed maps of the New World back to Europe. The first map to depict the new continent with the name "America" was created in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller.

Africa

The word Africa came into existence in the late 17th century. Initially, it was used to only refer to the northern part of the continent. Around that time, the continent had been colonized, and the Europeans ruled over its people as slaves. They influenced the change of identity from Alkebulan to its present name.

The original name of Africa is widely believed to be Alkebulan, which was used by indigenous peoples such as the Moors, Nubians, and Ethiopians. The name is said to mean "Mother of Mankind" or "Garden of Eden". It is also said to align with Kemetic and Ethiopian texts that consider Africa to be the beginning of creation.

The word Africa became more widely known during the era of colonialism, from the late 15th to the 17th century. Some speculate that Western powers changed the name from Alkebulan to Africa in an attempt to erase Black history and culture.

Other names for Africa throughout history include:

Ethiopia: A name that was primarily used for the modern-day nation of Sudan, but was also used to refer to Sub-Saharan Africa in general

Libya: A name used for Africa

Corphye: A name used for Africa

Ortigia: A name used for Africa

Land of Ham: A name used for Africa, where Ham means "dark skins"

Cush: A term that sometimes referred to all of Africa, sometimes to all of Africa except Egypt, and sometimes to ancient Nubia

Biblical scholars are aware that “Cush” sometimes refers to all of Africa, sometimes to all of Africa except Egypt, and sometimes to ancient Nubia, stretching from modern Aswan in the north to Khartoum in the south.

Following Meiners, Blumenbach described the Caucasian race as consisting of the native inhabitants of Europe, West Asia, the Indian peninsula, and North Africa. This usage later grew into the widely used color terminology for race, contrasting with the terms Negroid, Mongoloid, and Australoid.The first Europeans to enter Southern Africa were the Portuguese, who from the 15th century edged their way around the African coast in the hope of outflanking Islam, finding a sea route to the riches of India, and discovering additional sources of food.

Our Philosophy Pertaining to Religion, Christ Consciousness, & Self Mastery

*All religions are organized man made belief systems based on parables, spiritual cosmic divine universal laws, science, mathematics, astrology, alchemy, esoteric knowledge, commerce business, etc. The Ultimate Source of all creations granted us freewill. Most people suffer and experience earthly hell, which is a low vibrational state, because they are not in alignment with the Great Spirit, only looking for God outside of themselves and not from within. We are created in the image of Gomer (Wisdom), Oz (Strength), Dabar (Beauty), and come from the Great Spirit and Source of all creations birthed.

*The English word “God” first came into use through a German term applied in the 6th Century Christian Codex Argenteus, gudan (“to call” or “to invoke” a power).

Esoteric Knowledge

Esoteric knowledge is private, obscure, and exclusive and might be related to subjects such as mysticism or the arcane. On the other hand, exoteric knowledge is widespread, accessible, and shared among the general public.

Christ Consciousness

KRST, Christos, Christ is originally the idea about change and transformation. Christ Consciousness is an awareness of the higher self as a part of a Universal System. From an esoteric perspective, Christ consciousness is symbolic for our own activated pineal gland. It is sometimes called the "third eye" because of its location in the center of the brain and its connection to light. It's also known for its role in regulating circadian rhythm and secreting melatonin.

Many spiritual traditions believe the pineal gland is a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. The general idea is that the pituitary and pineal glands can generate different oils (golden melatonin/honey for the pituitary and oxytocin and vasopressin/ milk for the pineal). The oils meet in the crucible of the skull (crucified at Golgotha) and travel down the spine with the cerebral spinal fluid. The fluid descends down to the solar plexus where it stays for 2.5 days represented by Christ's burial in the tomb. After 2.5 days, if the mixture is not destroyed, it channels its way back up the spine into the brain creating a resurrection experience. Supposedly the 2.5 days are associated with the moon being in the sun sign of ones birth. “The light of the body is the eye= pineal gland: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” - Matthew 6:22

The Hebrew word for skull, gulgoleth, finds its way into three of the gospels in its Aramaic cognate form, the name Golgotha, “the place of the skull” (Matt. 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17).

“And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink It.” - Matthew 27:33

“They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).”

- Mark 15:22

“Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew/ Aramaic, Golgotha).” – John 19:17

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. - Genesis 32:30

*Peniel “Face of God” (Penuel or Pniel, Pnuel, Pineal;

Hebrew: פְּנוּאֵל‎ Pənūʾēl)

The medulla oblongata is the connection between the brainstem and the spinal cord, carrying multiple important functional centers. It is comprised of the cardiovascular-respiratory regulation system, descending motor tracts, ascending sensory tracts, and origin of cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII. It also helps control vital processes like your heartbeat, breathing and blood pressure. If your medulla oblongata becomes damaged, it can lead to respiratory failure, paralysis, or loss of sensation.

*Ancient Christ Deities: Buddha, Krishna, Odysseus, Romulus, Dionysus, Heracles, Glycon, Zoroaster/ Zarathustra, Attis of Phyrygia, Horus, Yeshua/ Jesus, etc.

ISLAM

ALLAH represents our bodily temple as well, and stands for Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head; I.S.L.A.M. means I Self Law Am Master, submission to the will of God (Spirit). A servant is bound to comply with, be devoted to, conform to, flatter, and be governed by their master. To be a servant is asking to being enslaved. We are the Master of our own self.

I- From the creator of the universe. Represent woman and Child, from hence you came.

Self- Each one of us is a Trinity. This being the symbol of civilization.

Law- The Length Angle and Width of cosmic energies that marked you.

Am- The joining of 2 Trinities, Male and Female principles, the triune, which creates another I Am.

Master- This being the glyph for the planet Earth of which we are on, and aspire to be Master Navigators upon.

*Masonry- Ma/Mother Son/Son Ry/ The Study of…

To study Earth and Yourself, you must know Ma/Mother (Subconscious Mind) and Son (Conscious Mind). We are the Gods of the atoms that make up ourselves and the Universe. We are able to break free from our servitude by mastering ourselves.

ISRAEL

The name Israel is linked to the ancient deities Isis, Ra, and El:

Elohim

A Hebrew word for God that usually refers to the one God of the Israelites in the Hebrew Bible. However, not every usage of the word Elohim is a reference to the God of Israel, whose name is Yahweh.

Isis

The Egyptian mother goddess who was prominent in magical texts. Her name means "supreme goddess" or "throne".
Ra

The Egyptian sun god whose worship was central to the Egyptian pantheon. Ra had multiple names, including Khepera in the morning, Ra at noon, and Temu in the evening.
El

The supreme god of the Canaanite pantheon. In many Semitic languages, El's name became a generic term for "god".

The name Israel may be a linguistic confluence of these three deities, rather than a term that originated from a single biblical event. In Jewish texts and Christian Greco-Egyptian texts, Israel is understood to mean "a man seeing God".
