DOWNLOAD ESODUS: INTERNAL REFLECTIONS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SUN

Esodus

InternalReflections and Conversations with the Sun is a personal anthology thatspeaks to the heart of contemporary African ontological philosophy.

Inspired by classical African meta-physics, Asar Imhotep (aka The Black Lotus)has compiled a compelling collection of essays and poetry that reflectshis insights and perspectives on various issues, including therelevance of Satan, the error in obtaining freedom, the conceptualconductivity of the human body, the importance of emotions during arite of passage, and the self-destructive nature of allowing your enemyto become your deity.

Asar introduces to us a poetic discourse that is deeply rooted in an ethnopoeticswhose tradition has heavily influenced the art of our time, such as HipHop. The themes range widely from the metaphysical (I am that I am), to the bliss of love (Let me love you), to the power of self-affirmation (I’m so Black), to the pure indulgence in classic word wizardry (Still not convinced). Esodus: Internal Reflections and Conversations with the Sun is sure to inspire you to think big, think often, think critically, and expand the boundaries of your imagination

 

REVIEWS

Brother,I can’t say how [much] that book really dives into the depths of why wehave to bring our cultural arts back to the center of our daily lives – Professor Griff of Public Enemy


Ifyou consider yourself a poet, philosopher, scholar, a spirit on a questfor knowledge/wisdom...if you are conscious, African centered, adreamer, an artist, a mother, a father, someone not afraid to shinetheir light to the world, in any of the NPHC organizations and/orsomeone who is here on Earth to discover themselves (as we all are)then this book is a MUST read. The author guides the reader through avery well experienced and easy to understand African-centeredphilosophy of being human. Who am I? Where do I come from? What is mypurpose here? What must I do to fulfill my purpose?

Iknow I've asked myself these questions many times and this book wasconfirmation for me that I am on my right path: to express my divineself in whatever creative form I choose, to not ever take myexperiences for granted and use it to advance my personal evolution, torealize that I am a unique imprint on the fabric of existence and it ismy birthright and even obligation to make manifest the divinity of myCreator. There are also very few books that can make me laugh out loud!He includes a great variety of poetry and what I consider creative freewrites. Ultimately, this author has convinced me that I too have thepower to create whatever I want, specifically I am starting to write mybook this summer. The book is inspiring, creative, unique and fresh. Happy Megie of OBU San Antonio

BIOGRAPHY

Asar Imhotepis an independent historian and researcher focusing on African culture,languages, philosophy and spiritual symbolism. His focus as of late hasbeen a comparative study of ancient Nile Valley civilizations and theircultural connections to the Bantu of central and east Africa. Thisstudy has helped him to develop a comparative methodology he calls philosophical cognancy(the comparison of signs, symbols and ritual practices across Africannations in a similar fashion to comparing cognates in linguistics).Asar’s background in computer programming and languages has given him akeen ability to recognize the meaning behind symbols, as programmingcomputer languages operate by the same principles ancient priestsemployed to develop their spiritual systems (see “A Dialogue of Energy”pg. 141 in Esodus: Internal Reflections and Conversations with the SUN).

When Asar is not sifting through literature or sitting at the feet of various master teachers, his alter ego, The Black Lotus,is engaged in numerous philosophic and artistic pursuits.
