This is another assignment for medu class at the M’Tam School.
We had a lecture yesterday on this subject and I found it extreamly interesting. I suppose that after observing life here in the US for long enough, you come to recognize that something is just not right. Analyzing our social structures from the Kemetic perspective gives a wonderful insight into the lives that we lead.
And how we ended up leading them…
Politics From the Kemetic Perspective
The Kemetic perspective sees politics as a major source of the corruption of humanity. Politics capitalizes on the emotions and desires of factions within a group to both divide and manipulate the whole. The use of politics by individuals or small groups of individuals leads to the concentration of power and resources into the hands of a few.
We should not confuse politics with government. In the Kemetic culture, humans are governed by the 77 Commandments. Leadership is provided by Kingship that is maintained by ensuring the continuation and refinement of specific leadership traits within several human bloodlines.
Government in non-indigenous cultures is accomplished by dictatorship or various democratic structures such as the two party democratic republic of the US or the parliamentary democratic republics typical in other countries controlled by the colonial powers.
Kemetic cultures have no need for politics. The actions of the people are clearly circumscribed by a system of behavior that has been in existence and refined for over 100,000 years. Politics in the Kemetic context can only be used therefore, as a means to disrupt or destroy the proven system that already exists. Historical records of the culture document several circumstances where this occurred for brief periods of time.
The governments of non-indigenous cultures are driven by politics. It is by the application of political power that factions within these governments gain and maintain their power over the people and resources of the regions and territories they claim.
When any group of three or more humans joins together for mutual support or gain, there is the possibility of disputes or disharmony. One person within the group can gain control of the whole by amplifying the differences within the group. This single person then aligns himself with the majority and dehumanizes the minority. Once this polarization of attitudes has been achieved, continually creating and solving fictitious problems for the majority solidifies power by building confidence in the majority and promoting the transfer of responsibility into the hands of the political power brokers.
This method of power manipulation is extremely unstable and often leads to social disasters. These social disasters are then used to acquire resources and territory during the chaos that ensues. Since the resources and territory are controlled by a few, the surviving population is reduced to either virtual or actual slavery to the new holders. The holders of these resources then use the masses for cheap labor or, where labor is not necessary, the masses are exterminated in the most politically expedient manner.
This process clearly leads to corruption on all levels of human interaction. Social structures are corrupted and destroyed by the divisive nature of the political process. Individuals are manipulated into actions based on emotions such as fear, greed and anger. Both the emotions and the actions that they engender are clear violations of the divine code of conduct. Those who take advantage of the inevitable chaos that ensues become the personification of Set in the incarnate world, attempting to achieve eternal life through the concentration of knowledge, power and resources into their own hands.
