Still-Bound: The Resistive Force of Dead Souls - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Copied from the book,  Cosmic Chain , by Onyeji Nnaji   The human soul does not completely leave the environment where its body is deposited  until the body is led to rest. Except the body returns to the earth, the soul would continue to move around the visinity of the body. In some Igbo communities with some certain trad-cultural observances, certain riguals are usually conducted before the soul of some elders are separated. The essence of such rituals is to spiritually disconnect the soul from it's involvement bodily. Some souls feel free and committed to their intent because of their intention to accomplish tasks or make sure that their instructions before death are followed precisely. Those souls which hover in order to accomplish their injunctions are referred here to as still-bound souls. Two main factors are responsible for adults souls to be still--bound. Both factors have their sources traced to the activities of the body during lifetime. The most reoccurring fator is veng

Soul Mutation: The Manifestation Souls Across Lives - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Copied from the book,  Cosmic Chain , by Onyeji Nnaji The term mutation is used by philologists to dramatize a situation in the structural formation at the word level (within a particular language) where there is no explicit change encountered in the structure of two different words rather in their phonological compositions. Mutation generally is used to denote an observable change in the form of one organism from another. This change can be physical or biochemical in nature. The physical change connotes that which the eyes can see, while the biochemical change anchors the internal process that gives rise to it. Mutation is employed here to explicate the process and condition which souls undergo in other to accomplish their required days within a particular cycle here on earth. This is different from the splitting of the soul. Soul mutation simply refer to the situation where a particular soul leaves a particular environment after the demise of the bearer-body and moves to another envi

Purgation: The Justification of Living Souls - Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Copied from the book,  Cosmic Chain , by Onyeji Nnaji The highest journey the soul can embark on, while the body is still alive, is purgation. Purgation is an aspect of the temporary journey of the soul when the soul of a living body is allowed to plead it's course before nature. It is a justification period of the soul, not purification. Explaining purgation as a moment of purification for the human soul faults the true purpose of the process as intended by nature. It was misconstrued by some orthodox religious beliefs as a period when the soul of a dead sinner is purified to make proper possession of the afterlife. The truth is, nobody is purified after death. The soul of a sinner can only be justified, not purified.  The metaphysical concept originated from Igbo land. The Igbo call it "Oget Ikpe", a time of judgement. Nkanu express this process as, "Idu odudu". Other Igbo settlements have different terms they used to express purgation. It was the Roman Cathol

'As the ancient Egyptians left them': Archaeologists uncover more than 20 sealed coffins

A chaeologists have uncovered a "huge cache" of more than 20 sealed coffins in the city of Luxor, according to Egypt's Ministry of Antiquities. The seemingly well-preserved sarcophagi were discovered "as the ancient Egyptians left them," said an official  press statement  highlighting their intact engravings and surviving coloration. Found in Al-Assasif, an ancient necropolis on the west bank of Nile, the coffins were spread out over two levels of a large tomb. The site once formed part of the ancient city of Thebes, the ruins of which are found in present-day Luxor. Antiquities minister Khaled El-Anany inspects the discoveries.  Credit:  Ministry of Antiquities Nobles and officials were buried in Al-Assasif during pharaonic times. The cemetery has previously yielded archaeological finds dating back to Egypt's 18th dynasty, which began in around 1539 B.C. Why do so many Egyptian statues have broken noses? Officials

THE DUALITY MYTH by Onyeji Nnaji

Image
Copied from the book, Cosmic Chain by Onyeji Nnaji A frican myth is multifaceted to be understood at just one attempt. No African myth is understood from one direction. It is dully interwoven, just like the didactic of folklore. The involvement of both human and non-human characters makes its understanding very difficult. The same reason makes it relatively unreal to an ignoble fellow. The reason is that, in Africa, nature speaks. And the speech of nature can be demonstrated by anything found in the African society. We have a world where the wind, the stars, the sun, moon, water, trees, birds and even land speaks. The expectation on the analyst of nature language is to understand the medium through which these nature characters communicate. This is the sole reason why certain nature element is retained by a society as her totemic tool. Some of these nature elements relevant in African mythological studies and the views they represent in the different African oral traditions is

THE ORIGIN OF TIME by Onyeji Nnaji

T ime is one complicating issue to determine in trying to work out the actual human genesis. The world in its nature also contributed, for at the time when human beings were trying to gather themselves from the flood incident it was almost very difficult to conclude whether the whole part of the world was completely destroyed from the focal point of Noah, the man through whom it pleased God to recycle Adam’s linage. From this calculation in days as we found with the record about Noah, and which had prevailed among his ancestors as the method of measuring time, it became apparent that about the time when the entire earth was flooded, the human society (particularly the created man) had adopted the cyclic rating of time by morning, afternoon, evening; days and night as fits into the description by Moses. According to our Bible story teachers, Adam was created on the sixth day, invariably stressing the timely cyclic of day and night. This evokes a salient question about what the con
