The code is the foundation values and principles that underpins the natural world. These are the scientific, mathematical and energetic elements on which African spirituality is based. These elements can be summarised as the Laws of Ma'at, represented symbolically as the feather of Ma'at. This code is evident in all the varied cultural expression across African and the world. It is the original essence of the KRST (Christ) message adopted into the Abrahamic beliefs and religious practice. When the KRST is fully realised one become a prophet and teacher to uplift humanity.
The elements of this code is represented symbolically as the leaves of the Tree of Life or the Paut Neteru. The leaves will be the healing of the nations, bearing a different type of fruits every month. But the key understanding are the energetic, cyclic and mathematical configuration of the system. This is the reason the African system of spirituality and world-view underpins the whole of the African life science. This then integrates with all the cultural, arts, architecture, music and Astro Science practices. This whole integrated system of representation is expressed as an interconnected symbolic and sacred language, the Hieroglyphics (Metu Neter), the feather representing this system, the code, the Laws of Ma'at or Ubuntu.
In this ancient system, to qualify for leadership and governance responsibility is symbolically shown in the story of Tehuti healing the eyes of Heru in the battle with the principle of evil. Similarly, Heru the hero is balanced and empowered by choosing to follow the Laws of Ma'at, out of knowledge, understanding and clarity. This emphasise the need for leaders, administers and coordinators to follow The CODE. This CODE is the foundation on which all protocols and systems for Improvement on a personal, family, community and national levels is built. This is the genius and greatness of the African system and world-view that invented mathematics and science, the gift to the world and humanity. The urgent and immediate return, a Sankofa, to this foundation and CODE is the key question confronting Africans and the world generally.
The issue we are currently experiencing is that the majority of those that aspire to coordination, administration and governance roles, are not aware of this code. Those that are aware, tend to approach in a manner where statement of principles is the extent of their use and application. Some amongst us include these principles in our organization design and constitution. Fewer still are striving to implement The CODE across all levels of institution development. Very few are striving to implement The Code systematically in all the areas of family, economic, political and cultural development. The is the missing action of a full return to the Ubuntu foundations.
The CODE is structured as dual expression of electromagnetic, strong force, weak forces and gravity, These are then organized into the four organizing elements that is the hidden elements underlying all natural forces. So structured and applied use of this four foundational elements enable our personal, and community development based on The CODE..
The genius of this Code based systematic approach to overall development, is the ability to base our economic, social, political and cultural development on holistic foundations. The current challenge is to design and build our institutions based on the The Code. The Challenge is that not enough of us are aware of this need, and those of us that are aware, are not able to approach this work in the systematic manner necessary to achieve the long term institutional effects we need. So choosing to follow the CODE is the first and necessary step. An integrated system of knowledge and application is the true expression and practice of our culture and spirituality.
