Selections from the Husia: Sacred Wisdom of Ancient Egypt


Author: Maulana Karenga - Karenga has done a wonderful piece in the Husia! I take this book as a counteraction to all self-help books by modern authors. Of who most of them have had some sort of power in one area or another. But who better for Africans to read than our own people of power about how to realize their blessings and priviledges that the Most High has put upon them in any given sitution. I love this book because it translate African minds of the past when power and domination was our footstool. And how we didn't use these blessings to produce negative thinking and action. And how we always gave prasie to the one who help bestowed those great achievements for us. I take this book as a holistic mental and emotional playbook. To see any sitution better side!

I have purchased and repurchased this great book many times in the years before the web , giving it out to the youth, and teens.

Hmmm. I really don't trust Karenga that much , but if I get a chance to check out the book I will, thanks for the heads up, peace.
