New Radical Anthropology talks on our Original Human Culture: Lower Tan Tien verified as mbu or ndambu N/om kulu mystical power

  Jerome Lewis on children changing the world:

One thing that has always struck me, when I've been in Baka camps is the role of sort of 9, 10, 11 year old girls, in just kicking off a song and dance and Massana [Forest Spirit] performance, these ritual performances. And they really are like the motor that keeps the whole sort of spirit of the camp, just sort of motivation to do this and they really do sing sort of all night long - it's incredible. And they're very quick to sense the atmosphere in the camp and think, "Yes NOW we need to do this type of a ritual"...These musical performances are sort of government in a sense, it's how you learn proper behavior. And so thinking of the politics of this in the sense of young girls, I think there's a whole trick in the West in not really appreciating the extraordinary power that this age group has in influencing society....I remember reading Colin Turnbell, there was a really serious crisis, someone had tried to kill somebody else or something really heavy and the camp decided when there is something this really important - we can't decide it. It's the adolescent children that need to decide what is the appropriate behavior or response to this action....

 Ekila = N/om

I think Ekila is "yin qi."

 

 

 Fascinating.

 

 

 WOW fascinating - the need to FEED the spirits that FEED off the "yin qi" energy of the blood!! Ah now that makes sense. Ghost pollution healing indeed.....
