Return to Pursuing the Divine
M’TAM Graduations from 416 - 418
It seems Africa’s most notable crime, yet at the same time, its greatest achievement is that it has discovered the world of the Gods and with it brought the chance for refinement, culture and civilisation to humanity. Africans were the first to practice agriculture, to raise livestock and to master nature and survive its challenges. This brought upon Africans the envy and jealousy of those North of the Mediterranean who still lived in squalor, sickness and ignorance. This resentment has lasted until today and the continent that was originally positioned to lead humanity towards Divine qualities and a deeper understanding of reality, life and death has become home to a “race” of people that are somehow simultaneously given pity, charity and hatred.
It is only through this quest for Divine qualities that our Ancestors found enlightenment, self-improvement or even what we can call culture. It is only through this quest that humanity has put order in its societies and differentiated them from savage or barbaric behavior. It is only on this quest that our actions and accomplishments have ever become truly ingenious instead of just self-hypnotising or self-glorifying. It is the secret to civilisation and successful human life on Earth.
Africa is not the cradle of civilisation because of its weather or the melanin content at the surface of the skin of its inhabitants. Africa’s value to humanity is not because there is some super metal that is found there. The original reason Africa serves as the light of the world is because its people have proven the intelligence, humility and discipline necessary to discover the Gods and follow the path that reaches them. It has even institutionalised this in what is called an education system.
The M’TAM School of Kemetic Philosophy & Spirituality as the education system of the Pharaohs and Kemetic priests finds its legacy here. Revived by Neb Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig in 2001, it has come to provide individuals with a way back to human culture, human values and the human pursuit. Initiatic schools around the world were all born from this legacy, but today function according to how well each culture has protected itself and the integrity of its place in Kemetic society. This legacy is generations and generations old and offer us a proven way out of the darkness of human ignorance. The modern education system has lost sight of the original goal and fails miserably at living up to this legacy.
Consequently, today humanity finds itself back in a position of desperation. Our youth in the colonial territories are waking up to the dire situation of having their future surrendered for the benefit of their parents and are shouting in alarm to their pacified elders, manipulated by their insatiable leaders or the spirit of greed to become one. The members of modern society turn their back on the knowledge and discoveries of their Ancestors because they cannot see how they served their individual ambitions, image or the ideologies of their respective “race”. But, what is left for the human being to aspire to if he has turned his back on replicating the Divine World? Our ambitions will end up leading us towards destruction and chaos if we refuse to follow those who guarantee stability and the maintenance of our universe.
The crimes of the last era of human history like those before it have been carried out by systems that found themselves outside of the awareness of the path towards the Gods. Europe, which was home to health epidemics, torture and enslavement was not seen historically as a place of destitution or darkness (Greek or GerrKa - Spirit in Darkness) because of the skin color or hair texture of its inhabitants. It was not because of the strength of the sun or the levels of “Vitamin D” its rays injected. Instead, the European has had the reputation of destitution because he was the last in the human family to discover the path towards the Gods. Even his discovery has been compromised by the manipulation of his social leaders maybe driven by a hurt ego from having to follow other human beings on the path.
In today’s world covered in white supremacist values, full of unproductive debates and rhetoric about race and rights, it is hard to even imagine a world where Africa came to mind first for knowledge, advancement and enlightenment. It is yet another testament to the power of manipulation and modern media and education to control the perception of the modern human being. The modern system has done a thorough job with the forced recruitment of human energy to build a system that now markets many distractions and illusions to trap the human being consciousness. Yet and still, somehow 2019 years after the system of illusion gained its footing, the will of the human being and the vows of its Ancestral spirit pull on individuals enough to get to them to investigate their origins and the origins to education, human society and the world.
More and more, people around the globe are realizing that the opportunity that Neb Naba humbly presented in 2001 is one that cannot be placed beside university education, weekend seminars or “proindigenous” rhetoric. In the last three years, the M’TAM School has continued to grow and has expanded with three new schools into Montreal, Quebec in Canada as well as Baltimore, Maryland and Houston, Texas in the United States of America. Within the M’TAM study group program, communities are forming around the globe to begin studying products from Firefly Productions until they can raise their numbers for a teacher to be sent out to start a school. Many in these communities are becoming members of The Earth Center community.

The Kebtah (Earth Center) Temples and the M’TAM Schools congratulate all of the new initiates on this accomplishment. An accomplishment that today’s societies may not congratulate you for but the Earth itself and the spirit of your Ancestors stand proud that someone’s life takes pride in whom its life is owed instead of what he/she wishes to spend that life on. May Earth and your Ancestors now provide you with the patience, clairvoyance and courage to march forward in pursuit of Divine peace, Divine intelligence and Divine harmony.
