LOL, you immediately start attacking/questioning Destee and myself (Don't say you aren't! LOL) like a true Christian soldier, ready to kill the "heathens"! You know what you are feeling in your heart...Your mind won't be able to compete with your heart concerning the truth: THE DAYS OF BLINDLY ACCEPTING THE RELIGION OF YOUR FORMER ENSLAVER ARE NUMBERED...
If a slave ship was named AUM (quite absurd) then I would definitely look at the ESOTERIC meaning behind that. Since A-U-M-( ) is Creation, Preservation, Destruction, and then the silence afterward starting all over again with A (in a nut-shell) then it would represent an Alchemical formula of Afrikans (Original Man and Wombman) going through a "Mash up", breaking down process. This would be done to DESTROY ("M"), what we had CREATED ("A"-culture, civilization, spirituality,etc.) and PRESERVED ("U"-family, religion, culture, ritual, etc.) for millenia...The "( )" or silence between the Destruction and next Creation would represent the WOMB, or state of meditation where
oneness is achieved (Christ). Then, our next great cycle of OURstory will be "born again" (sound familiar?)
This means that Afrikans would have to undergo a TOTAL DESTRUCTION (symbolic of destroying the EGO -goal of Yoga, spirituality, etc.) of our CREATIONS and what we PRESERVED throughout the Earth's Story...So that we can Rise to a GLORY that far surpasses anything we have done on the planet, ever.
Long story short, the Potter sits at his wheel molding Clay into a beautiful vase ("A"). He then observes his work and tries to improve upon it ("U") All of a sudden, the Potter mashes up the beautiful clay vase ("M") and gets more clay "( )" He then starts over and makes and even bigger and more beautiful sculpture (back to "A")
With that said, provided with the choice...I'll take my chances with the Good Ship AUM.
