I didn't speak about last names. The last name/surname is a foreign concept to us Bantu. We never had last names but iziThakazelo/iziDuko/Direto and Diboko/iziBongo/iziThutho.

@@ayalehuamlaksekhemankhamun unfortunately they are meshed into our way of life now and to discount that would be disingenuous. The reason why our spiritual ways of life have survived this long is because it's not rigid it can configurate itself to survive trauma and changing times. The disfunction of men in today's society has little(I will concede some cases) to nothing to do with not knowing their father. That approach fixes nothing and isn't based in the immediate reality. The real question is how well rooted are those men spiritually to which ever side they have access to whether it be the paternal or maternal.

A person is made up of 4 surnames so Amathonga ayi 4 from mother and father combined

Ubunyanga has nothing to do with mother and father. This surname thing is an excuse. The spirit works independently, it doesn't know these labels we give ourselves. The realm of memories is one thing that the nation still needs to transcend. There are people who grew up with fathers yet they wish they never had them. They grow up to be even dumber abanye. The thing of spirit has nothing to do with a father, far from even. The ego of patriarchy needs to dies, so as that one of matriatchy. We think we are so important with our system of labels the spirit doesn't even care. We will die a million times spirit will not even notice. The father figure thing is just ego based consciousness. Actually a father, lol, a father could never have to do with Spirit. My unpopular opinion. We download secrets & knowledge from the Akasia and the field doesn't ask us our surname labels. We travel through time and reach within the womb itself that is outside time and yet that dimension doesn't demand surname labels from us. It is irrelevant it actually doesn't exist there. There are secret doctrines that fathers can never even know. We shouldn't even speak so much of spirituality actually. This thing has its own language. It knows not our culture and traditions. Our surnames and what nots are yet another reality we must transcend before spirit can manifest freely within and without us. 'Spirituality' is the final block to wake up from and transcend. Even in our most intelligent grammar and concepts, we can never speak on behalf of spirit. At the level we are in, truly we are just irrelevant to it.

There is a lot keep checking

It's in the 42 laws of Ma'at.

@@Tha-Rock ok thank you

That does not guarantee a future for child. Reality works way differently

Try to reconnect with your people that is the only way to correct that issue. Should it happen that they are unavailable, then you can ask your people's names sake for help.

Yes, I found that part odd; unless he was suggesting the relationship between a married person to their parents, as in now having formed a ''new'' family, with his children born from his wife...??? Even then, his mothers' DNA runs through him totally. He really needs to clarify how he is not then related to mother.

If you listen to the words used to call the people on your mother's side of the family they all relate to your mother and never to you. Like malume, mmane, mamncane etc, whereas your fathers siblings are all call father eg, Rrakgadi, Dadobawo, Babomncane etc. Secondly all cousins on you mother's side are called KaNina meaning of my mother while all cousins on father's side are Mzala meaning one I am born with. It's all in the languages we speak

@@ayalehuamlaksekhemankhamun I hear you that its all in the language but it doesn't show you not being related to your mother side of people. with no argument everything that has made you as a person you are relatively related to it. How you call each other doesn't show anything of you not being related, its just showing how you are related to each other , like from which side of part of me do i relate with them , example When I call Malume it simply indictate that I relate with him from the side of my mother , meaning the feminine energy that has made me .

According to my understanding nothing come to existance by itself and everything that made someone to come to existance it is related to it.

Can we rise above personalities and respect the platforms host. Help me understand how he boxes African spirituality; he has expansive knowledge and is well aware that many healers themselves come from different perspectives and experiences, morso nowadays when so many persons are being initiated in so many different ways... He is an Inyanya/herbalist himself by the way.

An Opinion should be taken as that and not be seen or considered as an Absolute.

How does he box spirituality???

Hence, I am asking how can he contain spirituality???

i believe he is giving more than Ntsiki.
