The Mysterious Connection Between the Dogon Culture of Africa and the Ancient Egyptians
In recent years, much information about the ancients has circulated online, some of which
is ill-informed and on the other hand, some of which may be shockingly accurate.
One of the most controversial topics in the field of archaeology and anthropology is the
interpretation of the teachings of Ancient Egypt.
Many scholars in recent years have identified uncanny similarities in the beliefs and traditions
of the ancient land of Khemit and schools of thought around the ancient world.
One of the more compelling arguments for the disbursement of the sacred traditions and
astronomical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians comes from researcher and author Laird Scranton.
In his work, he makes some interesting correlations between the people of the Dogon tribe of Mali
and those from the ancient land of Khemit.
Inspired by the work of Robert Temple, who�s 1976 book �The Sirius Mystery� which would
go on to influence future researchers, Scranton pointed out the cosmological significance
of the Dogon beliefs.
In his work, �The Science of the Dogon,� Scranton describes the incredible accuracy
with which the Dogon people were able to use their language and symbols to account for
complex scientific facts that wouldn�t be discovered in the West until the 20th century.
Yet, mainstream scholars who reject the notion of this kind of advanced understanding of
Sirius by a tribe deemed primitive, proclaim that the Dogon-Sirius mystery is nothing more
than a 1965 hoax put on by two French anthropologists Grisule and Dierterlen.
The two were the first to reveal such an unusual idea to the public in an unprecedented filmed
interview.
Since then, not a single anthropologist has corroborated the findings, although the subject
has been heavily examined by independent researchers.
But Laird is quick to point out that there are many more mysteries surrounding the knowledge
of the Dogon priest (Hogon) that can�t be chalked up to a single interview.
According to the Earth Center, Master Neb Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig, a modern day Kemetic
Dogon priest claims that the Dogon tradition has been preserved over time and it�s origins
lie in Egypt.
When considered, how did these two French men have enough knowledge of the workings
of the Sirius star system for such an elaborate hoax?
The second star of the Sirius Galaxy, referenced by the tribe, wasn�t discovered by NASA
until the 80s.
Could all of it be true?
Could the Dogon people really have had a complex scientific understanding of the cosmos?
And more could this ancient knowledge go back to
ancient Egypt?

Consciousness VS Awareness What's The Big Difference - Duration: 7:36.
Consciousness VS Awareness What�s The Big Difference
By consciousreminder
What is the difference between awareness and consciousness?
How are the two concepts interlinked?
Keep reading to find out about the hidden secrets of the universe!
Imagine yourself in the middle of a forest, being chased by a bear.
The rustling of leaves behind you burgeons your pace, causing a much needed adrenaline
rush.
As you run across the landscape, you search for possible escapes.
You are aware of the trees, and the animal life in your vicinity (imagine the forest
sounds), but you�re conscious about a possible, untimely end to the journey of your life.
And before the bear catches up, let�s snap back to reality and ward off the threat!
Simply put, bring aware and being conscious are two extremely different concepts, even
though both words seem to have the same connotation in language.
Here is a little insight about the two concepts that�ll help you differentiate with ease.
Being Aware
It is like those announcements you hear on media.
For instance, a hurricane is headed towards the city.
While you know what is out there and you�re factually aware that it exists, there�s
little you can do to explain where it is, whether it�ll strike or not, how much damage
it will cause, and so on and so forth.
�Being Aware� essentially has a tangible, physically-related expression.
You are aware of the fact that consuming too much sugar/carbohydrates can lead to obesity,
diabetes and other diseases.
You are aware that anything you do might have an impact on your loved one�s life.
You are aware of your realities, primarily because of factors like sensations, perceptions,
cognitive abilities, and knowledge.
You know what is, but you don�t know how it may or may not be related to your life!
Beingaware does not necessarily equate with being conscious.
This brings us to the other part of the equation.
Being Conscious
In every sense of the words, being conscious has a lot to do with being spiritual.
It refers to that degree of awareness where the physical world no longer obstructs your
understanding.
It is about being aware of the metaphysical world, where spiritual interactions and learning
takes place beyond the tangible experiences.
Being conscious has a lot more depth than being merely being aware.
Awareness is considered a prerequisite for consciousness.
You can�t be conscious about something if you�re unaware of it in the first place.
As in the example we started off with, you were aware about everything in your surroundings,
but you were consciously looking out for an escape.
This blurs out your perception of non-related elements, enabling you to focus exclusively
on certain, sought aspects.
How Knowledge Influences Your Awareness and Consciousness?
As the wise people say, �Knowledge is power!� It is the starting point of a revolution,
the beginning of awareness and consciousness.
For the most part, you are free to decide whether you�d like to be aware and conscious
or not.
Your free choice plays a pivotal role in defining your destiny.
Knowledge makes you aware of your worldly realities, in turn making you conscious about
a higher calling, a bigger purpose.
Nothing happens without a reason, and the moment you decide to question and reason out
your realities is when you become truly conscious!
It is a chain of realization that begins with your worldly learning.
You make better decisions when you are aware, but you make the best ones when you areconscious.
If you willfully chose to give up your abilities, you unconsciously choose to be a part of someone
else�s purpose.
You share your fate will all those who consciously renounce their rights, eventually becoming
a part of someone else�s journey!
Knowledge, awareness and consciousness influence your life in three ways:
Application: You apply your knowledge, actively deciding the particulars of intervention.
You know something is good or bad, so you�re in a better position to decide whether or
not you should integrate it in your life.
For instance, excess sugars are bad and can cause diseases.
It enables you to make a well-informed decision regarding your lifestyle.
This is where you gain awareness.
Discernment: Based on what you know, you can judge what is and isn�t.
This enables you to discover and pursue options.
If sugars are bad, you can figure out healthier alternatives to it.
This is where you use your awareness to become responsible, being on the verge of consciousness.
You begin to question your knowledge.
Connection: Questioning gets you closer to consciousness.
You begin to see the reason behind everything, which helps you connect with your purpose
of existence.
In other words, it is a level of complete awareness.
As your level of awareness rises, your vibrational frequency increases, enabling you to protect
yourself against negativities and to see beyond typical boundaries.
It is where you become conscious � about yourself, your realities, your purpose, and
the higher calling!

POPE FRANCIS GIVES A SURPRISE TED TALK CALLING FOR A REVOLUTION - politics - Duration: 7:50.
POPE FRANCIS GIVES A SURPRISE TED TALK CALLING FOR A �REVOLUTION OF TENDERNESS�
Pope Francis has been featured in a lot of headlines lately, as he�s become a popular
beacon of light for many non-Christians because he preaches equality and kindness, offering
a very different (and frankly more compassionate) perspective than previous Popes.
This has caused some confusion, given that the Vatican is perceived negatively by man
due to its ties to sexual abuse, inequality, knowledge suppression, and more.
Nevertheless, Pope Francis has an important message for us all, which is that we need
a �revolution of tenderness.� This time around, his message came by way of a surprise
video that aired at the international TED conference Tuesday evening.
Pope Francis delivered this message in front of a room full of scientists, academics, tech
innovators, investors, and cultural elites.
Pope Francis� TED Talk on Tenderness and Hope
The Pope started off the TED Talk by explaining our deep connection to one another, stating,
�Each and everyone�s existence is deeply tied to that of others: life is not time merely
passing by, life is about interactions.�
�As I meet, or lend an ear to those who are sick, to the migrants who face terrible
hardships in search of a brighter future, to prison inmates who carry a hell of pain
inside their hearts, and to those, many of them young, who cannot find a job, I often
find myself wondering: �Why them and not me?� � he continued.
This is a question many of us face: Why are we so blessed while so many people suffer?
There are so many extremities in this dualistic world we live in, and it can be easy to get
caught up in them.
Of course, there are many explanations like soul contracts, karmic relations, past lifetimes,
or simply unfortunate circumstance, but that doesn�t mean we shouldn�t fight for equality.
�We all need each other, none of us is an island, an autonomous and independent �I�
separated from the other, and we can only build the future by standing together, including
everyone.�
�We don�t think about it often, but everything is connected, and we need to restore our connections
to a healthy state.�
Pope Francis even brings science into the equation, just as many other prominent religious
figures and monks have in the past.
�Even science � and you know it better than I do � points to an understanding of
reality as a place where every element connects and interacts with everything else,� he
explains.
The fact that everything is connected has been proven time and time again in quantum
physics; even the Dalai Lama has expressed this.
You can read more about how science and spirituality are intertwined here.
�How wonderful would it be if the growth of scientific and technological innovation
would come along with more equality and social inclusion.
How wonderful would it be, while we discover faraway planets, to rediscover the needs of
the brothers and sisters orbiting around us?� the Pope continued.
The Pope could simply be referring to the brothers and sisters we have residing on this
planet, though his question seems to be addressing extraterrestrial (ET) life and how we�d
treat them.
This wouldn�t be the first time the Vatican has hinted at the existence of ETs, and Pope
Francis himself has spoken about �beings of the universe.� You can read more about
the link between the Vatican and ETs here and here.
The Pope goes on to speak of solidarity and how we need to achieve it.
We cannot just look at it in terms of social responsibility, but rather as the basis and
the underlying framework for politics, economics, and our everyday interactions.
Would there even be a need for a singular government if solidarity existed?
The Pope continues to say that through true solidarity, we could actually overcome our
�disposable� attitudes toward food, the environment, and each other.
He explains that solidarity cannot just be achieved through control mechanisms, nor can
it be taught, but rather, it must be found within the heart.
�Love is the source and the meaning of life, how can they withhold their urge to do good
to another fellow being?� he asks.
Throughout his speech, Pope Francis continually highlights the importance of memory when discussing
how we can reconnect to solidarity and love, as we just need to trigger ourselves to remember
the inherent love within us.
Perhaps the most interesting part of his talk was when he told the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
As the story goes, a man who was beaten and robbed was left on the streets to suffer.
A Priest and a Levite, two influential people at the time, walked by the man without offering
to help; but, when a Samaritan walked by, an ethnicity that used to be looked down upon,
he felt compassion for this man and stopped to help him.
Jesus allegedly used this parable to explain to people that being a good person means you
have compassion for all, regardless of your status.
Many people who follow Christianity choose to only abide by the staunch commandments
and old belief systems taught by the religion, further perpetuating separatism, racism, and
inequality.
This often includes the people who are considered to be at the top of the chain like popes and
priests.
It�s fascinating that the Pope chose to mention this parable, as it paints a more
negative light upon the �higher members� of the Christian faith.
�Each and every one of us can become a bright candle, a reminder that light will overcome
darkness, and never the other way around,� Pope Francis continues.
�Feeling hopeful does not mean to be optimistically na�ve and ignore the tragedy humanity is
facing.
Hope is the virtue of a heart that doesn�t lock itself into darkness, that doesn�t
dwell on the past, does not simply get by in the present, but is able to see a tomorrow.�
The New Age movement, Buddhism, and other spiritual texts often encourage only focusing
on the present, which is beautiful.
Ultimately, once you realize that time is an illusion, the present moment is really
all that is.
However, that doesn�t mean you shouldn�t learn from your past nor does it mean you
can�t visualize the future and shouldn�t strive to create a better one for yourself
and all of humanity.
Part of focusing on the present moment includes creating your own reality and redefining your
future, because the present affects the future, just as the past affects the present, because
time is non-linear!
The third part of the Pope�s speech addressed the need for what he calls �a revolution
of tenderness,� which is essentially a strong form of compassion and love for all.
He describes a variety of examples of tenderness, including when a parent adapts their speech
to talk to young children.
They essentially lower their communication level in order to explain concepts to them.
Though I do believe that children deserve more honest communication when it comes to
dealing with more difficult topics, I think that his definition of tenderness speaks to
the importance of being able to accept all levels of consciousness and learning to guide
people without belittling them.
That doesn�t mean that we shouldn�t strive to educate people, but rather that we can
do so with more compassion and understanding.
Tenderness can be used as a tool to create positive change in a more loving, peaceful
manner.
