I've been working on Sir Isaac Newton's history, and it's been difficult for me to get to accept him. Not because he was an alchemist, but because he accepted to subject alchemy to the King.

But for me, my earliest teacher was an old lady. According to her tradition, she passed me some knowledge.

Then, in unwrapping the knowledge - meaning an interaction with other forms of knowledge- I come across of copies of the same knowledge.

Much of the knowledge is tested and accepted as true. Then that means a set of principles.

If one applies the principles then one unearths the content, given the language form used.

Let me give an example: Among the Nyamwezi infertility would be referred to as 'Nzoka ja Bulehi' and there was a distinct therapy involving the body area and symbolism related to what an Indian yogi would call a chakra along the snake of fire/Kundalini.

When one searches for this form of particular expression across cultures and far back as possible then one meets Geometrical forms as the bedrock.

It's these geometrical forms that guided Sir Isaac Newton, Plato, Christ, and the most ancient philosophers.

My grandmother's philosophy here in Kenya.

It's the dynamics of these geometrical forms that reveal the narrative.

How to cook ugali

Bring water to a boil and add a little flour.
Allow the thick mixture to boil for a while before adding enough flour to make a thick paste.
Keep stiring and turning until it has the consistency that you desire.Some like hard ugali while others prefer it soft.
A well cooked ugali should not stick to the muiko.It also has a nice aroma.
Serve with Fish Beef Milk Eggs Mala Sukuma whatever you want!


Here comes Eve. She knows 'good' and 'evil'. Ugali is better than philosophy.

But the philosopher delights in fasting.

How can the two merge?

I think this problem may be an answer to the question: 'Can a woman be liberated?' Not, 'liberated' as in a woman doing all that a man can do, and show patriarchy the finger.

But in the sense of being aware of the limitations of thinking first about ugali with the idea of scarcity; and living in a world of infinite resource and power.

There's also a serious probability that you're right @Apricot.

I'm trying to check how right you can be...

The garden is surely there.

How religious language came to be so misleading is another matter.

Luckily marijuana isn't illegal inside.
