Our African Unconscious

The Black Origins of Mysticism and Psychology

De: Edward Bruce Bynum PhD ABPP, Linda James Myers

Narrado por: Edward Bruce Bynum Ph.D. ABPP

• Examines the Oldawan, the Ancient Soul of Africa, and its correlation with what modern psychologists have defined as the collective unconscious
• Draws on archaeology, DNA research, history, and depth psychology to reveal how the biological and spiritual roots of religion and science came out of Africa
• Explores the reflections of our African unconscious in the present confrontation in the Americas, in the work of the Founding Fathers, and in modern psychospirituality

The fossil record confirms that humanity originated in Africa. Yet somehow we have overlooked that Africa is also at the root of all that makes us human - our spirituality, civilization, arts, sciences, philosophy, and our conscious and unconscious minds.

In this extensive look at the unfolding of human history and culture, Edward Bruce Bynum reveals how our collective unconscious is African. Drawing on archaeology, DNA research, depth psychology, and the biological and spiritual roots of religion and science, he demonstrates how all modern human beings, regardless of ethnic or racial categorizations, share a common deeper identity, both psychically and genetically - a primordial African unconscious.

Exploring the beginning of early religions and mysticism in Africa, the author looks at the Egyptian Nubian role in the rise of civilization, the emergence of Kemetic Egypt, and the Oldawan, the Ancient Soul, and its correlation with what modern psychologists have defined as the collective unconscious. Revealing the spiritual and psychological ramifications of our shared African ancestry, the author examines its reflections in the present confrontation in the Americas, in the work of the Founding Fathers, and in modern Black spirituality, which arose from African diaspora religion and philosophy.

By recognizing our shared African unconscious - the matrix that forms the deepest luminous core of human identity - we learn that the differences between one person and another are merely superficial and ultimately there is no real separation between the material and the spiritual.

Scientific And Archeological References

I love how insightful and eye opening this book is! The layout is perfect and I can really appreciate the scientific and archeological references use in the book as well! Eye opening like I said and highly recommend for everyone looking to expand their knowledge in theological studies, spirituality, and the over all human experience.

Very inspiring

One of my new favorite books. Hoping to contact the author about my own dissertation research soon. This book may be an unparalleled comprehensive study of initiation’s and illumination’s kemetic origins worldwide - on somatic, psychic, and spiritual levels in a presently relevant and applicable manner.

I LOVED THIS!!

I learned, edified and reconsidered so much on our shared African Unconsciousness. Thank you so much for such a gem, Dr. Bynum!
