Far from the frigid Windy City weather outside, and an austere analysis of the world; he is about to unleash. His choice of words are incisive and spike a dagger straight to the heart of things. Although vehement, his words are never forced nor strenuous. The excerpt below is the third question and answer of many which he had fielded during our lengthy interview. Due to the copious content of this interview with Naba Iritah Shenmira, it will be broken down and released in parts. In today’s spiritual climate, the phrase “Honor your Ancestors” is thrown around by many organizations and individuals that never actually champion the Ancestors, but today it’s not being used as a euphemism. He shares without breaking flow because he is not speaking for himself, he speaks for the Ancestors he came from, urging him to be their spokesperson for the prophecies uttered and passed down from generations ago in the temples that are standing behind him.
Wisam: Where do you see the world going?
Iritah: Where do I see the world going? That’s the billion-dollar question that people with positive intelligence (I should say), would ask themselves. You know; the human beings in the Western/modern society think they know what the world issues are, but in reality they do not. Their reality is composed only of what stresses them out, the problems they have, what bills they have to pay, or whatever physical, psychological, emotional, or spiritual instabilities they are suffering from. And while they suffer, the doctors or the ones that are claiming to be an authority on well-being that should be able to help, are unable to, or, somehow the solution is out of their hands. I mean to say, the modern citizen is living in a society where he/she is led to be convinced that their government traveled to the moon, and will be traveling to Mars soon. And while they are distracted with scientific illusions (outer-space utopias), the modern citizen is left with simple social issues and dilemmas like crime, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure or mental and psychological degeneration, that those same agents that are trained to enforce the government’s ideals, are not able to provide with adequate solutions.
This attitude of continuously projecting made-up realities by modern society’s authorities is an example of what would be labelled as “negative intelligence” among the people I’m from. It seems essentially like a forged distraction from reality (albeit, a sad state), that modern society is imposing on its citizens.
The modern citizens are only waking up now to understand that their science, religion, and politics are limbs on the same monster, and that monster’s only mission being to keep the honest seeker under the effect of some sort of ecstasy that is not claiming its name. Some modern citizens seem not to see, nor understand where their society’s leaders are taking them to. They appear to be living in a bubble where they are made to believe “Science is perfect and evolving! And so is politics and religion”, while those are the three pillar ideologies that modern society was built on and is continuing to stand on.
Take science and politics out of the picture and this whole idea of society will fall apart; Take religion out of the picture and modern human beings will live more likely as Human instead of like animal or beast.
The reality of a promising future for these western societies has come to the point where modern citizens are going to have to surpass their ego and fake sentiment of evolution to learn how to return to the indigenous people that they called savages from the so-called ”Third World countries” and apologize.
When the modern world came close to the traditional indigenous world, it rapidly took upon itself a mission to destroy our structures housing our Gods and Divinities as mere symbol of its rebellious manifest to affirm its vision or perspective of authority on humanity. Your world then started looting indigenous temples and thereafter burnt archives as to erase any possible image or symbol proving that better systems of authority and government preceded their perception of authority.
As indigenous descendents, we don’t expect you to understand or believe in the fact that your manifest to force your modernity on us in our lands, is at the same time the call of the curse of our spiritual and traditional powers on your societies. Nature and the universe take no credit for the curse that is being poured on your supposed developed societies, why? Because the energetic and spiritual stability within existence is far more crucial to nature and the universe. So, someone has to pay the price. It is time for the accountibility, and, your stupid and sordid ideologies of developed and powerful societies are catching you up now.
Now, here you are in your developed and powerful countries making unnecessary noises about the change of climate affecting your life just as if you did not think that at the end of your own story of conquering the world and whipping indigenous people with your immature ideologies, nature and its powers within will one day, just as an act of betrayal, show you the reality of your own arrogance. Honestly, everything in modern societies nowadays seems to be, almost like a natural or divine curse. A curse could not look different than what the western societies and their citizens are suffering from.
For what your societies and governments did, are still doing, and probably think about doing on the face of this planet, someone has to deal with the consequences.
The traditional world learned, and is still learning to deal with modern countries’ intellectual and spiritual arrogance and immaturity, but it is time for the modern one to start thinking positively, or, just stop thinking negatively. These problems shewing your societies, collectively, and individually, are your part to deal with. And for that let me be the first one to wish you good luck for managing to pick mother nature as your enemy.
Your modern way to approach or perceive existence is the one that does not understand how to live according to our traditional principles.Your world never ceased to view indegenious people’s world as an enemy. But you can clearly see today that the possibility could be that those indigenous people already experienced modernity and reached the conclusion through all facts; that that approach to life and existence was not want they want. To call a society an indigenous or traditional one is to admit that it has been existing since time immemorial.
This utopian civilization everyone is trusting and dreaming about does not even want to give an inch to the indigenous ways, as if they are scared to have another system to coexist with their futuristic system. And if the perfection that is being claimed by these modern ideologies and beliefs is what it is said to be, why not start learning how to accept the wrong doings and failures that seemingly happen to be the foundation of this modern perception? One’s conception of a perfect society can not continue being based on how destructive one can be to nature, universe or to another group of people. The modern world’s part of culpability to deal with this will surely become also their descendants inheritance if today's modern citizens don't humble themselves and appeal to the first and original guarantors of humanity’s stability and evolution on Earth.
In the typically traditional African societies of before and now, where life has always revolved around humility vis-à-vis the principle of harmonization imposed by nature and the universe, we don’t get earthquakes, hurricanes, or natural disasters. We have dry seasons and rainy seasons, which can get extreme. This is not to be confused with the matter being discussed above. The matter being about; the anger of nature and planet Earth, which is upon the western countries. Now that nature is resolved to cure and rebalance itself by reacting and rejecting the cancer that, for a couple of centuries has been gnawing it, you have now your leaders and their governments waking up to the true reality of the modern societies.
It appears to me, after deep thinking, that it is high time the two worlds come together. Yours must exercise humility by apologizing for its arrogance, immaturity and wrong doing. Ours, once again must exercise tolerance, and open again to guide the young world that yours is. I think this process is what is being hidden behind the concept of GLOBALIZATION. Whatever that means to them… The leaders of your self-proclaimed “developed countries” and their corporations, go around the world in indeginous societies destroying cultural symbols and spiritual monuments in a show of power which actually hides their need of resources (natural, mining and mineral) just to be able to keep those countries’ citizens in comfort. They destroy, kill and take whatever they can get their hands on, and then wonder why your societies are in disarray and out of control. I remember five years ago, when our temple’s divinations were prophesying that the anger of nature and its powers is on its way in the west because it is time for accountability. It is time for the reign of the boomerang principle.
The western societies’ utopian way of life based on things they don't own or possess has created a monster that’s ravaging the planet; that monster which is going to be the cause of modern citizens own demise. Its name is MODERNITY.
