Classic reading - book list

La Barca de Luna

This blog does not contain intellectual fast food. Even though not always referenced, the texts that I put together are based on a solid, literary basis. Reading books is - in many ways - an important tool to expand knowledge rapidly and profoundly. Most importantly, reading the right books and reading them with an open, inquisitive, flexible mind. Some people tell me that it is not easy to find the right books. I get many requests asking me to suggest literature. Now, I argue that new books are usually not better than old ones. In fact, in my experience, the opposite is the case - the further you go back, the better the books become.

In the following I present a short list of essential classic writings that, in my view, all independent researchers should be aware of . Tons of reproduced, regurgitated rubbish is available to us today via internet. In order to truly learn about our past and about our ancestors and how they lived and thought, it is better to start at the beginning and to read the real thing and to be your own interpreter.

The chain of spiritual myth roughly went as follows:

  • Unified world religion during the golden age
    • Dogon/ Yoruba
      • Ethiopian > Khemet (Egypt) 
        • Gnostic blacks > Hebrew > Hellenistic > Christian > Islam                 
        • Dravidian blacks > Vedic Brahmanism > Hinduism > Buddhism
        • Chinese blacks > Taoism
        • Olmec blacks > Inka, Aztec, Maya, Moundbuilders, Washita
All these systems (and all others on the planet) are connected and thus different expressions of the same ideas. To regard these systems as different, means to block mental access to understanding them. The most rewarding system must naturally be the system of origin, and this is the one which has been perfected (not created) in black Khemet (today Egypt is inhabited by Arab conquerors with light skin, these are not the original inhabitants. Not that skin color means so much to me, it is just that a lot of Masonic propaganda has been placed in Hollywood movies, etc. to fool the world into believing in ancient Egyptians having white skin, which is a lie. Only the last few rulers of the Ptolemaic dynasty had white skin).

I therefore recommend to ultimately focus on the Khemau mythology, but to also get acquainted with the holy writings of other major spiritual disciplines, e.g. Qu`ran, Bible, Zohar, Talmud, Rig Veda, Pistis Sophia, Apocrypha, Pyramid texts, Book of the Dead, Book of Gates, Homeric Hymns, Hermetica, Kybalion, Orphic poems, Avesta, etc.

This will automatically put you into a position of power, simply because you know what you are talking about and you can easily dismantle false arguments. There have always been enlightened individuals speaking out against religious ignorance and madness. The following will highlight some of these brave people and also some of the brilliant minds, who did the opposite and sold out to lies. Some of them might have been what I call useful idiots, others may have taken money or high offices (note how Christian apologists were declared to be "saints"), yet others may have been threatened and have feared for their lives. We will never know for sure, but it is important to read the Christian apologists, just to get all sides of the argumentation.

My list may not be complete but it sure enough provides more reading material than anyone can handle in his spare time in the next couple of years. In today`s time of information overflow and near unlimited access to information, it is easy to download free PDFs of all listed works mentioned below. It may not be possible or absolutely necessary to read all of these writings, but it is very helpful and enlightening to know that these texts exist and to roughly understand the contents. Our world would be a better place, if more people would study these writers, instead of reading modern (fashionable) garbage and Dan Brown nonsense.

Some of the writings, if known to the broad public, would quickly put en end to certain fruitless discussions, for example, whether "Jesus" lived or not (I put this name in quotation marks because the original text never mentions this name, the letter "J" was invented only in the 17th century. Take it as a homework : what was the name mentioned in the original text? Which is the original text?). Philo-Judaeus (see below) would have been a contemporary of this alleged Jesus (misnomer) and Philo wrote extensively about everything of importance that happened during his lifetime, but not a single word about a man named Jesus can be found in his writings. What could this mean?

Other writings reveal how history was written as tool for power and how fake history was created by the ruling elite to support expansion of power, e.g. Flavius Josephus, who invented Jewish history in order to make the Old Testament historic. Why did he do this? Because he was the main author of the New Testament and "Flavius Josephus" was simply one of his many pen names.

Now.....there is no way you can know whether what I have just stated is true or not - unless you pick up the books and read them yourself. Be invited, there is a very rich banquet. The book titles highlighted in yellow are "must reads" in my opinion:

As final note on this reading list. None of the above Caucasian authors were finally able to even remotely touch on the genius of African cosmology and natural science. There is no such thing as Greek philosophy. Our current understanding of history as a whole is wrong. The current history has been designed by Masons, it is a fairy tale. I will further explain true history in following blog entries.

If you want to have true spiritual insight, study the Dogon, the Zulu, the Yoruba and Khemet spiritual cosmologies, this compromises highest science.

Hotep!!

The Book of the Dead - true contents revealed!

So...... the hottest thing that is currently happening on this planet, from a spiritual point of view, is that spiritual master and king Nesu-Bit, Maser Ra Sema Ba Ifagbemi is revealing the esoteric, divine, original interpretation of the oldest religious writings available to mankind, the Prt M Hru/ misnomer "Book of the dead", which he has received in deep trance from his ancestors. You find his credentials and website here.

Ra Sema Ba states as his life mission to reactivate the "black" ("black" here mentioned as reference to KMT, the Black land, not to the misnomer based on UCC colorable Law that is used for enslavement in USA today) gay gatekeepers, which were the original Khemau high priests/ shamans. The brilliant thing for non-black heterosexuals (such as myself) is that while the Ra Golden Beetle mystery temple is reserved for mentioned black (KMT) gay community, the High Oracle of Ra has also permitted him to offer the set of teachings to the entire world, i.e. to make them public (a high oracle is one that works on a binary mathematical code and provides guidance for action, the Tarot would be an example for a low oracle).


The result is a set of short and simple to understand Youtube videos (you find them here) which are uplifting to watch and enlightening. There is no better material out there today - anywhere, not printed, not in videos, this is the hottest stuff out there today, it is cutting edge in terms of humanity regaining its powers and re-membering our true nature. The teachings offered in these videos come from a pure and divine place. It is currently my joy studying these videos and learning the sacred carvings (Metu Neter, hieroglyphs). In parallel to the videos I use a copy of Budge`s Papyrus of Ani translation and a copy of "Egyptian Grammar" by Gardiner.

Hapi, union of the two lands
Note how modern (fashionable) scholars have taken this literally and keep talking about two geographic areas in Egypt that were united. This is a spiritual allegory and it refers to uniting the upper and the lower self. This is a great example of how Caucasian left-brain limited thinking abilities have led to a flawed writing of history and destruction of spirituality.

The word "gay" has a double meaning not by accident: it refers to homosexuality but it also refers to being happy. The origin of the word "happy" is Hapi, the androgynous Nile deity. This is the "happy hippo" of the Hapi Nile valley. Hapi-ness means being gay. If sexual duality is removed, the original, androgynous state of union is revealed, which automatically eliminates all tensions between two seemingly opposite poles, also called "electricity". The original androgynous unity, manifested as physical homosexuality, therefore occupies a divine role within physical creation, it is closest to the universal origin of nature (Amun/ Nu). The fact that the word happy derives from such unity, should make this clear to us. Happiness arrives as soon as duality vanishes.

Hapi rules the Age of Aquarius, which has just begun.

Hapi also rules the master science of astrology.

Hapi is the union of Science and religion. It means scientific religion and spiritual science.

Aset (Greek: Isis) with her wings spread - note the throne on her head

Today`s negativity towards gayness comes from a spot of insecurity and fear. Today`s hetero men no longer understand what the true role and power of masculinity is, therefore their very own perception of the role as men is based on mis-education and insecurity and this is often being projected on the homosexual community, out of pure helplessness. Most men today are under the impression that they hold more power than women, which is an illusion! The seat of power ("a seat" = Aset = Isis) is always the female energy. When a throne is pulled away from under a male by a female, he falls. The true, strong masculine male is aware of his inferiority (men are degenerated women in terms of evolution, this can be easily proven by looking at our anatomy) and actually draws his strength from this knowledge! He realizes that his power derives from the female throne and therefore protects the woman and gives her love (love = libido, not the Rome- antics, the antiquities of Rome, which are romantics and for fools!). In a harmonious relationship the male trades in love for power - the female grants power for receiving love. It is a simple equation that is hardly ever properly understood today. The world is going to be in trouble, as long as males keep suppressing female energy, as can be seen in all male-crazed Abrahamic religions. Female energy is not electric outgoingness, it is magnetic stillness and peace. Women are the master builders, a fact that is celebrated on Mother`s Day, which takes place this Sunday, which is the 2nd Sunday in May and the entry of the sun into the Virgo decanate of Taurus, the last third of Taurus, if you will. It is the Auriga decanate and the astrological motto is "mastership".

One plate of the Papyrus of Ani 
This scroll is what scholars call a "Book of the Dead"  

Getting back to the "Book" (misnomer, it actually is a scroll that was placed in tombs of deceased N`gus (later called "pharao" by Caucasians) of the "dead" (misnomer). Hru/ Heru is divine light and refers to the concept of human beings in physical life, it is physically activated DNA, a miniature version of divine mind interacting in coagulated mind substance (matter).

The tomb scrolls should properly be translated as:

"instructions on how to bring forth your divine inner light", or 
"the manual of how universe and human beings are related", or 
"scroll of cultivating divine light"

or as the Golden Beetle system calls it 
"The book of Gold"

My studies of Prt M Hru and Metu Neter (Hieroglyphs) are going to take up most of my time, therefore, as mentioned in my last blog entry, I have less time available to dedicate to this blog. Nevertheless, I will update once in a while.

Stay Hapi!
Ra Sema Ba`s teachings will show you, how.

Light Peace! Heru Islam! Hotep Ra! Jeru Salem!

PS: there are 3 types of ISLAM:
- the original African system of Peace (Islam means peace)
- the exoteric system developed and controlled by the Vatican, which was designed for the Arabic world to divide & conquer
- the underground version of Islam, which is called Masonry. High masons wear a Moorish Fez.

Ignorance is the human dis-aster ("against the stars")
