 WRITTEN HISTORICAL CONCEPT

         The Grandpa! Tell us a Story/Drinking from Ancient Wells-Series of books are about the transition of Black history into a written historical concept based on the AfroSacredStars (see about us).

(See Questions of Black Salvation/Black History and African Soul www.Soulviewworld.com).

As far as symbolism and art (the language and image of the soul) are concerned, Papa and Mama Seven (the two small stars), are the Mother and Father of our Historical Experience (the large star), is governed by the spirits of the Sacred Seven, the Seven Ancient Nations of our Ancestors. Together the stars symbolize the spiritual kingdom of our Ancestors located in the galaxy of Ancient West African Spirituality and Intellectuality, and define our place in it.

As far as the colors go, green symbolizes physical energy, red symbolizes spiritual energy, and the red and green lines in the stars symbolize the interactions of the energies between Our Game and its Ancient Ancestral Roots. In African Traditional Beliefs, physical energy dies when your life is over, but spiritual energy lives forever; in that sense, our Ancestors Game is alive in our Game. The three sacred stars on this websites home page symbolize the African Americans  Historical Spiritual Experience in America.(See The Story of the Game Black People Play/Trilogy; Book One: The Game's Soul; www.Soulviewworld.com)

From a symbolic point of view, our Historical Experience is a Spiritual Being with a Personality and Purpose; the Spirit of the Black world. The question becomes, what kind of personality do we have, and what is our purpose?

Our Historical Experience personality is; a love of dealing with ideas (like the Ancient Akan); who are artistic and love creativity (like the Ancient Yoruba); who love to play with people’s minds (like the Ancient Aja); who live by any means necessary laws of the jungle (like the Ancient Secree); who believe in family and individualistic democracy (like the Ancient Igbo; who love the process of colonizing (like the Ancient Nzere-Bantu); who love to build empires like the Ancient Wolof: (the details of  the above mentioned nations are found in  The AfroSacredStar Story--Ancient West African Spirituality.

On the other hand, our Historical Experience is a Warrior-Priest, who is dancing on its toes, bobbing and weaving like a boxer as he-she throws combinations of punches battling its way into and out of all kinds of situations, while on the pathway to its Chosen Destiny, this is its purpose.  (See The Story of the Game Black People Play/Trilogy Book Three: The Game's Heart. www.Soulviewworld.com).

                                      SYMBOLISM       

As to symbolic form, the Stars symbolize that our soul is a planet in the universe of African Consciousness, and the brunt edges symbolize that it has been tested by the fires of time and circumstances.

On the other hand, the stars simply mean we are the spiritual Children of our Ancient West African Ancestors, personally and collectively, and the logic line governing the actions and re-actions of the chain of generations between them and us, is our Historical Experience=Black History. In this sense, the large star symbolizes our Historical Experience, and the two small stars symbolize its’ male and female aspects, called Mama SEVEN and Papa SEVEN.
