The Seminole Wars 1812-1858: Key Figures

 "This... is a negro, not an Indian war." -General Thomas Sidney Jesup

The following are notable figures in the Three Seminole Wars of Florida (1812-1858), a sphere of war apart of a wider war which involved the Muscogee (Creek) War and the War of 1812. 

Black Seminoles (Muscogee) established dozens of Maroon colonies alongside Natives across Florida from Alligator Hole, Angola, Fort Mose, Prospect Bluff, Pilakilahaka, and many others razed or abandoned during the Seminole Wars and establishment of Florida as a State. Black Muscogees fought not only against loss of lands, but against being sold into captivity. Many were free trained Colonial Militia for the Spanish, or vassals under Muscogee Chiefs, where a portion of their crops were given as tribute. Many will be forced to leave Florida for Native relocation, sold into captivity, or fled to South Florida & the everglades to avoid capture after the war

Finding My Way Again by Cowan Amaye-Obu

 

                                     Finding My Way Again by Cowan Amaye-Obu/ Hip Hop Logo

For the last several years (2020-2024), I have struggled with the US Family Court of Fairfax, VA. A place I did not live but was thrusted into the system by the mother of my child. The Courts have prevented my employment for two years costing me over $130K in salary. They also legally revoked my parental rights and recently demanded a form of child support payment, in what to me was like a hostage situation with my precious little girl at the center of the debacle. Instead of engaging in the foolishness, due to the loss of my livelihood, I relocated from Baltimore, Maryland. All my employment attempts were successful until halted by the Court System of Virginia. Thus, sometimes when people meet me lately, they observe my countenance & greatness being subject to my struggle, and may wonder why? I was destroyed by the people closest to me. I discovered my romantic partner was a chronic infidel on Mother's Day, and given the evidence, I walked away from my family. Consequently, she sought to ruin everything I had, to hide her failures, taking me to court to take my child, get me apprehended for slanderous lies unlike me, I lost my career, my apartment, my lifestyle, everything. Even the new family, I had created to move on... I fell all the way to the bottom and ended up going back home to Mom in North Palatka, Florida. Once there, my family, community, and friends healed and rebuilt me into a dynamic individual. I am eternally grateful for my folks who supported me, rallied around me, and not only gave advise but a willing hand. They say, when is it time to support someone, when they are at their highest? When they make it easy for everyone around? Or is it when they are at the bottom, reaching around for help? This is the grace, mercy, peace, compassion, charity, long-suffering, faith, and family, that saves Men and Women, and a lesson for all. When one is low, that is the time to support and comfort them. This was/is my Year 2023 and I am sharing for all those I am thankful for, and especially for those Fathers (or Mothers) and people going through traumatic pain and hurt due to infidelity & the $50 billion US Family Court Industry corruption. A $400K 12 year career reduced to ashes by hate can be restored in my case. So keep your head low, stay the same and like the Sun, it will come back around ... There is green grass on the other side. You just have to take the journey and don't be afraid to walk on water...

Obuism Second Tenets: The Discipline of Liberty & Duty to Family, Clan, & Tribe in Service to (The Ancient Order of Deities)

 (The Following Statements are above indictment, above any claim of blasphemous, and a call to the Ancient Orders... These tenets are not meant for sharing but for the reader alone.)


In the 21st and 22nd Century, the need to revisit the idea of religion is paramount for the Oppressed, the Free, and the Enlightened. History and time tells the story of all, and every idea is judged by the fruit of its tenets and the actions of its followers. No God is above reproach and no God can serve itself. All Forces required the degree of dedicated learning over time, and its science and laws became obvious belief in the flesh (with the eyes to show its presence.). Therefore, if the service of a Deity, leads a people over time to their destruction, enslavement, and spiritual demise, then that Deity is in jeopardy of not only proving its inability to save its followers & its Truth, but also proves its ineffectiveness, lack of power, and its righteous claim to be elevated to the title, God of Men, an authority over all Kind, in the land of Mankind. This is a violation of the first law of Deities to provide light and order to a people in darkness and to prove its power to be seen, to clean, and to save. In ancient times, all Deities were required to prove themselves both valuable and greater than all else, greater than all Men and all Kinds. Their power could not be swayed in speeches by any Man, only displayed in action for all to see, upon request given reasonable time. Over the ages, the characteristics of these Natural Forces, or Gods (note: the term God is a German word from 600 AD and does not equate to the full concept of an omnipotent power. The word is not old enough to secure the title as well. Hence, the name of Deities will be used interchangeably. However, in the English language there is no other word besides Deity, that can describe the natural Earth Forces, which are omnipotent, omnipresent, and eternal.) were erroneously attributed to Men, some of Renown, others Rulers of people, for the purpose of subjects & followers. The power these Men received by the claim of Godship, was like that of a Deity, which commands all to be subject, but all Men die and so, their claim is broken by time. Deities are eternal and cannot die. They may resign, but they cannot die. Thus, the Deities remained, silent for a eon, watching the foolishness of Earthly Lords claim to be them and the people who followed their tales. All have come and gone, but the Ancients of Order & Force remain, irregardless of all kind, Men or other Animal species. For the masses, blind faith is sufficient, but for the Oppressed, Free, and Enlightened, it is only a matter of time before they are awaken.


The balance of justice was created by observation of the stars and their powers. From those Forces, some Men took one Deity and attributed its power to Men. From many, they made one. Thus, being based on error, we have found the main monotheism beliefs often on the side of injustice and hypocrisy. Thus, it is not wise to take water from a well that was once sweet and pure, but is now poisoned by sitting stagnant during the turbulance of hatred, jealousy, envy, malice, and all manners of evil. To drink from that same well is to drink evil inequity and to become complacent with such and more.

The Basis of  The Title, Ancient of Order, Deity or "God"

The Ancients have given us the heavenly time of the Sun, our first Deity of Order. The Deity whose physical presence and power cannot be denied by any man or Kind. Let any Man look up with his eyes at the Sun (or sit in its presence) and be burnt, its power is proven and effective to give life and to destroy. No man has authority of its power and so, it is the original of all and the test for examination for any Deity that follows. A Deity must prove it is physically and spiritually present, upon request. The time, it has given the Ancients, has delivered to all Deities that follows, to prove their power and the method has or will not change forever for all Mankind to stand in subject and awe. This is the test plain and simple. The Sun, whose days cannot be numbered by any man has given us this time... One full rotation of its physical body, is 10-11 years in the days of Man. So that one mere day, to the Sun, our first God, is 10 years to the lesser body of a Man. Ten days to the Sun is 100 years to a Man. More than a lifetime. 100 days of the Sun is more than 1000 human years, a millennium. No Man, no civilization of any Kind can withstand its time and presence. So, its test in time is proven, physically and spiritually. All Deities must have the same test (physically & spiritually) and authority over all Men. To fail this test, is to prove, its presence does not meet the criteria to be herald as a Deity of Order and Man. One cannot be fooled by a lesser and false God, if it cannot prove its physical and spiritual power over all kind.  

Furthermore, The Ancients gave us the time of the Sun, and its path of travel and have told some, the few Deities greater than our Deity. I will not reveal such a secret of the Ancients. But I will reveal its time. A year for lesser bodies is 365.25 days according to our scholars dedicated to the discipline. However a year, to the Deity of the Sun is ever greater than us and where it travels is also such. Where it travels will determine what is a full cycle for the Sun and therefore, its time. We know, the Sun travels around another Sun, a greater Star, which is the Deity of Deities. In existence, there are recorded other Stars, which touch us and are also Forces on us. It has been said, it takes 1,461 human days for Our Sun to complete full cycle or revolution of its course. Technically, this makes one solar revolution of the Sun around its Origin, four years in human Earth years. Being that 1,461 days is exactly four years of 365.25 days. Again, one solar revolution (not rotation) is 1,461 days or four Earth human years. In other words, one actual year, is four agricultural years of 365.25 days, makes one complete cycle around the Deity of Deities, God of Gods, The Holy of Holies. 


The Call

This call is for the remembrance of the Ancients of Order. Therein, no Man can be called a Deity, for Deities are eternal, and greater than any Man, and none have authority over it. Gods are not Men. Deities are Forces that cannot be changed and they are forever. But all Men are subject to their authority, and are subject to worldly authorities, first that of their parents, then family, clan, tribe, government and the Kinds of other lesser beings (strong animals) able to destroy them. Being that, this is the first litmus of all false Gods... Is He or She a Man?

If so, then, by the test, a Man cannot be a God and therefore is false. Do not be fooled or swayed by lofty logic and persuasion. Do not be fooled by masses of followers. Or even violence or murderous martial arts, even a cat can kill a rabbit. It does not make the cat a god, but a giant. Even Holy Books, given time, those wisdoms if lost can become rotten, inverted, hijacked, or perverted. Though to the credit of Ancient cultures, the ability of groups to create sciences like ceremics or chemistry or metallurgy, and also the ability to pass knowledge to others, now recorded, can extend pass the confines of time and even generations, hence the emergence of the 1st Pharaohs or God Men. They defied time guaranteeing passing knowledge (Degrees) beyond generations through the creation or invention of writing systems, mathematic concepts, and Khemetic degrees of chemistry for the development of advance cultures. This gave mankind for the first time the ability to pass "recorded" knowledge from one generation to later generations. Hence the idea of words, spell concepts, and laws, to ensure the advantage of the group. Cultures, groups of masses of people can achieve Deity-like power through these sciences, degrees from cults, and continuity through time. United as a Force, still at best, cultures can be Giants. The litmus test is time. All cultures can be inverted, hijacked, or perverted, thus rendering the originators & their ideas, lost in time, lost to the memory. The best that can be achieved is the extension of their force to be felt from the Earth to possible the lower atmospheres of Earth. Earth is a Deity, a higher body. Men can step out and reach the Moon and other Higher Bodies, through knowledge, but at best achieve Giant-ness and nothing more... Those Men or creations of Men, may not even make it back to Earth, if the actual Forces of Nature & Deities dont allow it. Even the pursuit, though noble and lofty is non-attainable. Lower bodies simply do not contain the nature of Deities. Kinds may develop Giants, able to reach and extend beyond ordinary bounds, but the ability to be eternal is futile. Deities are simply non human.

Second, Man cannot create a Deity of Order. Deities of Order & Force are eternal and always present, some of whose laws are unknown, and rule in invisiblity. For example, the Force of Gravity has always been among Men and all Kind. Yet, it wasn't until the Ancients created vessels, wheels, ships, and observed it power, that it became widely known, a Force commands us to bow at all times. 

Nor can any descendant or creation of any Man be a God. A Man can awaken an unknown Deity of Force but cannot create a Force, which by discovery is awaken. For example, a computer cannot be Deity due to its enslavement to the imperfection and lack of knowledge of Men, its creator.

 The Ancient Schools provide the degrees for this knowledge and discipline. One must submit to be an Ancient Order Priest in the study of Chemistry, Engineering, Botany, Medicine, Mathematics, Architecture, Astronomy, Naval-Marine Science, Law and War in four year intervals totaling 40 years. These are the only Men fit to be Pharaoh again.


Discipline of Liberty

Human culture and civilization dates back almost 160,000 to 200,000 years (Oppreheimer 2000). Great people, cities, civilizations, technologies, languages, and many aspects of human development have risen and gone extinct, and the cycle repeated constantly throughout millenniums. What has remained constant across all human or Homo Sapien (Wise Human) groups is the organization into family, clan, tribe and national units for survival and continuity. These systems of mutual or involuntary cooperation and territorialism, have developed the cultures around the world and the various dominant languages, tool technologies and belief systems, which are now prevalent among human groups across the globe. Major developments like agriculture, organized governments, and specialized tools required constant cooperation between individuals, families, clans, and tribal communities. Thus, the basis of all cultures is the cooperation of individuals within their group. This is represented by all other intelligent Kinds, which require group cooperation for survival and are especially noteworthy in colonies of various kinds from insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals. All species require cooperation for survival. Bees and ants are great examples for this lecture. These intelligent insects are microcosm examples of the cooperation & specialization required for the survival of the group. So much so, that the individual Bee or Ant cannot fully define a colony. The species and its purpose is best represented by its organized group in the Beehive or Ant-hill, where individuals perform specialized tasks for the group taught to them by the previous generation giving the notion of insect culture or instinct. Even their great building projects require cooperation & organization of tasks, also giving the notion of centralized intelligence among insects. The same idea is true within human families and communities, it is the natural process for survival. Every individual is born into a family and society with a duty to cooperate for the survival of the group. Therefore, the existence of the individual is nominal and is not its own specialization. No individual is greater than the group, and individuals must be constantly replaced for the survival of the group. Successful individuals are successful in cooperation within the group, and will be rewarded with additional cooperation. That said, it is important to note the non-existence of the individual, the lack of importance on the individual being individual. This is not to say individuals don't have value, it is to say, individual value is best found in their service to a group, like their family, career, society and overall community. All human society, since the first human groups walked through the jungles of Khemet (Africa), to the original river civilizations of the world, Khemet, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, the Yangze River, and the Papaloapan River required cooperation. The advance civilizations, The Phoenicians, The Bablyonians, Assyrians, Persians, Gupta, Zhou Dynasties were civilizations of great human expedentitures. And so, nature has required a constant system of reproduction to ensure we never run out of individuals to cooperate. The discipline of liberty is to understand one is not free, but one is fully indebted to the family, clan, tribe, or national society to which one belongs.

Nefarious Individualism Designs

Given the late rise of the European Civilization into a global power for intermitted spans of time in human history (Greek Civilization under Alexander the Great, Romans under Julius Ceasar, and the Roman Pontiff in the 1400s), European style feudalism economies have emerged around the world in territories under the control of their principalities. Europeans have continued ideas and concepts passed down to them from Antiquity such as law, writings, technologies and other cultural aspects with their own unique added innovations. However, in service of the success of their various realms and to maintain their dominance, hegemonic programmers have set to promote "individualism," through various means among their disenfranchised and previously, enslaved Black, Aboriginal Natives, & Poor "White"-Slav labor servant populations. As descendants of the original Man and Khemetian culture, intelligence and instinct has served them well to survive their initial enslavement period in the first three to four hundred year sojourn in these European colonies (1500-1900). However, the second phase of their enslavement using psychologic programming, redefined legal terms, restrictive monetization & living quarters, "peculiar institutions," breaking up their families, massive incarceration and altering their traditional sexual orientation, the society is set to create disassociate personalities among Blacks, Natives, and poor whites, which ultimately would be self destructive to the groups, the individual, and the entire colony as well. This is to prevent group cooperation among almost 100-200 million people living in the Americas. No Empire or Civilization can withstand the opposition of such a human force, even with nuclear energy and organized militaries. This is a most nefarious affair, not just because these are my own people, but because the danger it poses to all humans. Psychologically changing the cultural instinct of anyone, can either work to the benefit of the hegemonic designer, or develop in an unforeseen outcome, which to any African is personal. The rise in individuality and the rise in homosexuality, in a culture, which historically has marked homosexuality as taboo is a very difficult second phase of enslavement for African Americans in the United States. I only hope, these descendants of Khemetians defeat all the plans & designs being used to prevent their natural instincts to cooperation. The second tenet of Obuism is, cooperation. The 1st  tenet is People before god, or rather, People before "Giants."Then, honor the Ancient Order. So you cannot be deceived... Amen

Three Theories of Observation: The Social Bell Curve Theory, Sexual Transference, & How the Spirit Travels by Cowan Amaye-Obu

 

                                               The Statistic Bell Curve 2023

The Scientific Method is the basis for discovery of all knowledge. It is a process of observation, experimentation, analysis, and conclusions. The best conclusions which can be replicated given roughly the same set of parameters will produce theories. The certain conclusions which produce the same outcomes each time the experiment is enacted is called laws.  

Of all the laws, theories, sciences, disciplines, and knowledges the most holistically encompassing for producing changes in human society is psychology. Theories and laws in psychology are highly significant to understanding humans as individuals and communal societies. The development of all cultures begin with the psychological method and the selection of a set of values to create a root basis to which all existence is wired to produce an outcome in sync with the value set. The following theories: The Social Bell Curve Theory, Sexual Transference, and How the Spirit Travels discuss hypotheses, observation and conclusions, but require further study.

Obuism: The 13th Month: Akhet & High Holy

 (This writing is for Knowledge & Science only. Racial, Ethnocentrism, Religious, & Political debate are not considered valuable enough perspectives to interpret these following:)




The 13th Month of Akhet is a celestial event and observation of the Ancient Khemetians. It marks a period of High Holy celebration beginning on September 1st-September 13th, a 13 day observance. It is the new year and beginning of the Flood season.


 What is the observation of the month of Akhet?

The current 365 day western calendar was adopted from the Ancient Khemetians during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Julius Ceasar. The Romans needed a more accurate system to keep track of their traditional and festive holidays. Thus, the Roman invasion of Egypt during the reign of Cleopatra, was a major exchange of culture and wealth, including the mystery educational system of Khemet. The Roman or European calendar would update from their 10 month, lunar 300 day year to its current calendar. The Ancient Khemetian concept of the 12 Gates, which the Earth traveled in a procession each night, along a cosmic river, became the signs of the horoscope and months of the year. To correct their calendar, August & July were named after their wise Emperors and added. These months expose the utter error of the European time structure even today. September (7), October (8), November (9), December (10) are the remnant of the 7th, 8th, 9th, & 10th months. However, today they oddly represent the 9th, 10th, 11th, & 12th months of the year. The Romans learned a great deal from the Khemetians, but what was not learned was never discovered, forgotten, or simply, strategically omitted from the Romans. And that missing puzzle piece, over the last two thousand years and the change from Roman polytheism to Roman Catholicism has left a defining indentation in the modern European understanding of the world. It often requires major reformation or reconstruction of the entire accumulated body of knowledge the European culture has developed into a dynamic civilization, today. One block can topple an entire puzzle. The Ancient Romans, as polytheist were more suitable for understanding than the intolerant monotheists, Roman Catholics, who command all things linguistic and legal in the European Civilization, today.


The Ancient Khemetians developed their civilization based on a system of observation of Neter. The word, Neter, is most closely translated to the concept of and word, nature. The development and understanding of Neter, over hundreds of thousands of years by the dawn of the tribal unification of lower & upper Khemet in 3400 BCE, was illustrated in the Khemetian Pantheon. The forces of Neter, were transcribed and anthropomorphized into the world's first Deities. The Khemetian Deities are actual physical forces of Nature and can be observed, as well as physically felt by their often overwhelming affect on the Earth and all its inhabitants. The Ancient Greeks & Romans transcribed many of the Khemetian Deities into proto-European culture. However, by the time of the Greeks & Romans, the Ancient Khemetian civilization was already ancient, lending the understandings of their philosophy, mathematics, sciences, physics, and religion to error. Many of the concepts of Neter Deities were extended and given elaborate attributes less derived from nature and more defined by the human experience. Thus, by the dawn of monothesism, which is a late belief system, the original Khemetian concept of a Neter deities had gone from a force of nature to a human personification of the natural forces on Earth. This is the great flaw of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the attribution of all the various competing & balancing forces of Neter, were transmuted to a single human derived deity. Still, the physical Neter Deity, that the Hebrews, people of Christianity, & Islam overlooked & allegorized, has always been alive and well. In fact, the sheer mystery became more phenomenal and out of reach for monotheists, the more human attributes developed onto the non-human entity, as time continued to the present. Only traditional Khemetian (African) societies, traditional cultures, polytheists cultures worldwide, or those inducted into the Mystery School System were imparted with these ancient concepts of mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, mechanics, and the relation to existence. The Neter Deity monotheists took, was Ausar, the Deity of the Resurrection and the Depths.


 

Ausar, is a force of nature. Ausar is a star. It is often in modern history referred to as the Eastern Star. Proto-Europeans like the Greeks, renamed this star, Sirius, Lord of the Resurrection. Ausar or Sirius, is the solar system, which our solar system revolves around. It takes 1462 days to complete one revolution around this Star. Therefore, the emergence of this star, on the horizon, and the gravitational pull, causes major physical phenomena on Earth. The physical phenomena observed was the flood season. At the sight of this star, the Ancient Khemetians, knew the Nile River would flood, if it had not already done so. They also knew, by the animals who vacated the river. Thus, it is important to understand that even the animals are aware of this physical entity. So, like the Moon, causes the changes in the tides on Earth. Ausar, causes the water from the depths of the Earth to rise, the storms, tsunamis, and earthquakes are all physical phenomena, associated with the emergence of this star. This is also why it is called the Deity of the Depths. The result of this Deity after the flood is, the resurrection of nature. The sheer widespread destruction, devastation of natural regions on Earth, produced one effect, rebirth. The soils were replenished, the dead trees were removed, the gigantic continental plates were moved into place and life continued as a new season of growth begin. This is why Ausar is always represented by the color green, to symbolize death and rebirth, or resurrection. This occurred every 365 days or revolution of the Star to our celestial sphere (1462 divided by 4). The monotheists, missed the entire concept with their humanized allegory. However, they did not miss the mark completely and some still refer to this time as New Year, or time of Judgement.

The 13th month of Akhet marks the arrival of Ausar, on the Eastern Horizon. The entire Earth is sure to have already felt its presence. It is an actual Deity, that can be seen, observed over time, and felt. So, during this time of High Holy, prepare, fast, pray for safety during the storms, gather together with your loved ones, and watch not only nature balance itself against the wicked force of extreme heat or extreme cold, but also move into another position in relation to our revolution around not our Sun, but our original source, Ausar.


The Holy month of Akhet is also a reminder that there isn't one force on Earth. There are many powerful entities and they are not human. This isn't a discussion on aliens, flying saucers, or humans with meta-powers, either. This is a imparting of knowledge of nature and the many examples of life here on Earth and in the universe. They are various physical representations of nature beautiful, fearsome, loving, irrespective of person. For example, the Sun shines on everyone and no one can own the Sun. The same with the wind or the tragedy of a flood, mudslide, or earthquake. It isn't about you, it is the nature of life, the balance of forces. These are who the Ancient Khemetians observed and charted. They discovered their secrets and mathematical equations. These are our Deities and across the land of Khemet, all of the tribes have added deities of various renown. Our Deities, never did magic, nor was magic a concept among us. Carefully studied phenomena and science was our "magic," cause and effect. Our idea of Gods was misunderstood, and God, which is a German word, not old enough to describe our cultural beliefs, was made human with the magical or superpowers of nature. This is the unfortunate circumstance of translation. But allow me to re-translate the translation back into the original form. And allow me to introduce you to a real Deity that you can see with your eyes, the Lord of the Resurrection, whom many have based their lives. Here I point in the sky on New Years & High Holy to observe. Be blessed and I challenge you all, to observe Akhet.
