Dear Professor Ogunnaike: I read the book The Racial Contract for my Race, Class, and Gender course at University of Minnesota, taught by Professor Rose Brewer. She was also chair of the African Studies Department. I then finished my master's degree by doing self-directed research via Professor Rose Brewer, with my project being that Platonic "natural law" is racist, and so a need for non-Western philosophy training is needed. I then trained from a Chinese spiritual healer http://springforestqigong.com and this was in fall of 2000, as my self-directed research project. It was a permanent life changing experience - and his assistant was Jim Nance, a black U.S. american who had spent two years traveling in Africa, studying shamanism, being initiated in over a dozen countries, in the 1980s. He was initiated in Senegal also I think. http://guidingqi.com is his website. Jim healed my relative long distance while he talked to me on the phone! She could barely walk for months yet after he healed her (while she was asleep) the day after she walked a half mile on her own. She said she just had so much energy!

My approach is via music theory that is Orthodox Pythagorean. http://peterkingsley.com has connected the Sufi sources of Pythagorean philosophy and also connected this to Eastern shamanism as well.

I did also study Western science as my "intellectual self-defense" since I am a white male and so my social context had no idea what I had gotten into. Also I myself needed to "translate" my experiences to better understand them. I finally discovered "noncommutative phase" philosophy as the only explanation of my training. Eddie Oshins working at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, as a quantum psychologist, was also a teacher of Wing Chun, martial arts. He realized that noncommutative phase logic explained why "neigong" (Daoist alchemy meditation) worked. This explanation is very rare - Eddie Oshins was pissed that his research got assimilated and the noncommutative phase secret was lost. http://www.quantumpsychology.com/

Thanks again and I look forward to studying your work more (I'm listening to you as I type this).

P.s. the book The Religion of Technology by David F. Noble (former MIT history professor) also corroborated your research on Platonic racism as a structural drive of the West, built into the symmetric logic. Oh there is an anthropologist of Africa who figured out this secret also. What was his name again? I corresponded with him - he is Dutch I think. I'll look it up. You probably have come across him already. Vinsbergen? Something Wim Bergen?

  He holds a PhD in African Studies and the Study of Religion from Harvard University, and spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University's Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies. Professor Ogunnaike's research examines the philosophical dimensions of postcolonial, colonial, and pre-colonial Islamic and indigenous religious traditions of West and North Africa, especially Sufism and Ifa. He is currently working on a book entitled, Sufism and Ifa: Ways of Knowing in Two West African Intellectual Traditions and maintains a digital archive of West African Sufi poetry.

 A corporation is legally a human being. So Al Gore explained that he could not change his trust fund stocks since the corporate lawyer has a "fiduciary responsibility" to maximize profits. I knew he was telling the truth as even a Rockefeller would have to SUE their family lawyer to change their trust portfolio. A good book on this is "The Paper Economy" by David T. Bazelon - from Platonic philosophy - profits are tied to logarithmic/exponential math as tied to patent law.

So the US government is actually also a corporation that was "chartered" through conferences. So technically a human in the U.S. is sovereign and the corporate-state WORKS for us. But the corrupt judges turned this around - check out http://poclad.org for details. And why did it get turned around? Read the book "The Religion of Technology" - Western civilization is controlled by the structural drive of the mathematical logic.

So Plato declared that each citizen is valued at 9/8 (the major 2nd music interval ) that must be COMPROMISED for the "good of the state" into a closed materialistic infinity (9/8 cubed is the Tritone or Devil's Interval). So it's Democracy as a logarithmic music harmony (equal-tempered tuning that we are all mass mind controlled by). But in reality it's the inverse exponential function creating wealth for the elite via Greek Miracle technology patents (economist Michael E. Hudson understands this well as he started out in music training).
