   In this simple phrase is the strange inversion of reality that underscores the Europeans' conception of themselves:  wealthy, culturally developed, and intelligent.  And it is in this simple but deadly phrase that we who struggle against European domination must know our enemies.

   It is more true to assert that intelligence creates culture.  And the hallmark of our species is intelligence.  This is why human development, and the development of culture, originated in Africa many thousands of years before it emerged anywhere else.  This is, in large measure, due to the indisputable fact that human life originated in Africa.  Africans developed human culture:  language, the arts and sciences, social organization, marriage, and family and community life.

   What created wealth, European wealth in any event, was not intelligence, but an unbridled appetite to kill and to steal.  These are harsh words, but the facts speak for themselves.

   For nearly half a millennium, Europeans saw it as their "Manifest Destiny" to explore, conquer, Christianize, colonize, enslave, and appropriate the people and lands of Africa, the Caribbean, North and South America, Australia, the South Pacific, and Asia.  No corner of the Earth was safe from their rapacious appetite for unearned income, "free" labor, and their willingness to use killing force to accomplish complete hegemony over the material and human resources of people who were not European.

   It is this headlong flight from morality and human dignity that created European wealth.  Intelligence had little or nothing to do with it.

   The sad reality, today, is that this usurpation of the Earth's bounty is now a fait accompli.  What will it take to undo it?  This is our challenge.  This is our cause.

   Greetings to the esteemed guests attending this conference of  "Traditional and Modern Health Practitioners Together Against AIDS, Other Diseases and Harmful Traditions in Cameroon."  Thank you, Dr. Fai Fomingen Ngu Edward, for inviting me to participate as a presenter at this historic ground-breaking event.  And thank you, Dr. Erick Gbodossou, for introducing me to Dr. Edward and to Traditional Doctor Mercy Manci who is here from South Africa.  The two of them participated as speakers and panel discussants in a think-tank that I convened last August at The Association of Black Psychologists' Annual International Convention in Ghana.  The think-tank was on, "Developing Survival Strategies from African Traditional Practices:  The Prevention, Containment, and Treatment of HIV/AIDS, Violence and Other Diseases."  I initially met Dr. Gbodossou in 1996 at a nine-day Senegalese African Traditional Healers Festival that was held on Saint Helena, South Carolina in the USA.  This combination conference and festival was my introduction to African and Native American traditional healing practices as presented and taught by indigenous people.  Once this path was introduced to me, I have continued to explore it, and have made a number of trips to Africa since that time and connected with traditional doctors/healers.

   I want to say to Dr. Fai Fomingen Edward and to all of you, that it is a distinct privilege to be part of a conference conceptualized, organized, and delivered in Africa--by Africans living on the continent--to address the most pressing survival issues facing people of African ancestry at this time.  It also represents the reaching out and coming together of Africa's sons and daughters across the Diaspora to look within for answers and solutions for our current problems.  This is a process that, hopefully, will continue and expand--training healers (in a training-of-trainers' model) to educate and inform others in their occupation/profession and beyond.   Hopefully, the information and knowledge that is gained here will aid you in knowing what is needed and how to make the best use of the help that is offered on all fronts.  In order to reverse the HIV/AIDS pandemic and eliminate other diseases that are plaguing Africa, traditional healers must conscientiously prepare/educate themselves and demand a much more active and visible role in the prevention, containment, and treatment of diseases including HIV/AIDS and violence.

   I am here to share with and learn from you -- to broaden both of our perspectives--and I hope that what I say will be thought provoking and useful.  My presentation is untitled, but what I will say has received deep thought.  First, I will give a brief description of Africa's gifts, then an analysis of her current condition, and finally, some thoughts on the work that must be done to create the conditions for short term relief and long term healing.

   Wellness requires a Balance of masculine and the feminine energies.  Masculine energy is the energy of action, ideas, competition, and the ego.  Feminine energy is the energy of receptivity, intuition, contemplation, wisdom, care taking and compassion.  Women/females and men/males possess both masculine and feminine energies, and both are necessary for the well-being of the individual and of the collective.  An over abundance of masculine energy brings about action without the beneficial feminine qualities of wisdom and compassion.  An overabundance of feminine energy brings about wisdom and compassion without the masculine counterpart for generating ideas and moving them into action.  On a global level, we are slowly beginning to move out of a long phase that has been increasingly dominated by action without wisdom and compassion.  Africa is one of the places with the knowledge and the "Keepers of the Knowledge and Wisdom" to serve as a leader in re-establishing this critical Balance worldwide.  However, without the will and the receptivity of its populations, the world will be deprived of this gift, and Africa will be deprived of being healed.

   However, we must deal immediately with emergency measures to try and stop the hemorrhaging --the bleeding -- for it is severe. We have come together here to propose, refine, and disseminate information to strengthen ourselves for this emergency work, keeping in mind that these are band-aids; the real work is needed at much deeper levels.

   Fundamental to the work of restoring the Balance is making sure that decisions and actions are informed by wisdom, compassion, commitment to the collective, and the complementary input of masculine and feminine energies.  This includes:
 

• A liberation that derives its energies from African traditional wisdom and knowledge;
• A mental liberation that harnesses our collective courage and confidence in using indigenous resources, knowledge, and wisdom to solve complex problems for people of African ancestry;
• Actions from leaders and elders that imbues the youth with pride of self and hope for a personal and collective future;
• An intelligent skepticism that demands that we thoroughly evaluate the positives and negatives for the land and the people before accepting contracts with other countries; and the courage to adapt, evaluate, and not to swallow blindly that which is considered "modern" for the sake of being modern; and
• Above all, a passionate defense of Africa's human and natural resources to safeguard against the devastation of the environment and the decimation of populations through disease and violence.

   The above mandates require a psychological mindset that comprises "the liberation of the mind"; and they are the minimum requirements for multidimensional and multileveled Healing to be achieved and sustained.

   Some of the practices that maintain the imbalance include:

• Failing to care for and protect the Mothers/the women.  (There is no protection for the children without protection for Mothers/women);
• Destroying or allowing the destruction of the forests and medicinal plants;
• Depleting the sources of medicine -- turning fertile land into deserts; and
• Ignoring the teachings of the ancestors and venerated "Keepers of the Knowledge and Wisdom"

   Looking at the imbalance within the context of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, I will talk briefly about women--the Mothers--here in Africa and in the USA.  First, heterosexual intercourse with an infected partner is the primary mode of HIV/AIDS transmission for women throughout the world.  Second, women of African ancestry are the fastest growing infected group in both Africa and the USA.  Third, once a woman is infected she will, in most cases, die sooner than her male counterpart.  Fourth, it is easier for a male to pass the virus to a female than it is for a female to pass the virus to a male.  Finally, females between the ages of 13 and 21 are at a higher risk than males in the same age range, and married people aged 25 years and less are at greater risk than those who are not in committed relationships.  What are the reasons for these statistics?

   The risk factors for women are high worldwide, but they increase many fold for women in "the developing world"; and especially in Africa where HIV infected women outnumber HIV infected men.  These risk factors are tied to economic and cultural barriers --the two dominant factors that define the status of women in the society.  They include:  Fertility or the bearing of children as the criterion defining the status of a woman; sexual practices that increase sexual pleasure for men but increase a woman's risk of being infected with the HIV virus and other sexually transmitted diseases; a woman's fear of losing the relationship with her partner by displeasing and/or causing discord so she is reluctant to raise critical issues like condom use.  Women are less likely to be educated, employed, or have access to health care--each of these are factors that contribute to a position of dependency, poverty and to an increase in disease vulnerability.

   Men are in control of condom use, the barrier that makes sex safer.  In the USA, one of the challenges that we face is:  How can more men be persuaded to care for and protect Mothers/women and thereby also protect the children and the collective?  The central and most powerful issues involved in the prevention and containment of the HIV/AIDS disease include:  shame and secrecy, power and control, assertion of the ego, an abandonment of compassion, and an abandonment of the commitment to the survival of the collective.  These are psychological issues.  How were they handled in traditional African societies?  Are there traditional teachings and practices that we should re-examine, claim, and bring forward?  If so, what are they?  Are there traditional and/or contemporary teachings and practices that we should abandon?  If so, what are they?

   I was born and reared in the USA, a part of the world that is referred to as "The West" --one of the developed countries.  Growing up, I did not have the opportunity to learn African traditions or an African language.  It wasn't until 1996 that I began to receive teachings from African and Native American
Knowledge and Wisdom Keepers."  Since that time, I have met and interacted with a number of these venerated individuals.  One that I have had the privilege to spend time with is Baba Credo Matwa of South Africa--an elder, a venerated "Knowledge and Wisdom Keeper"; an author, and an artist.  I would like to share a brief summary of four stories that he shared with me.  You may have heard these stories, but embedded in these stories are survival strategies that relate to restoring the feminine/masculine Balance, the prevention and containment of HIV/AIDS, STDs and other illnesses.  These practices were used in parts of Africa when compassion and valuing the collective were still guiding principles, and they helped them to survive contagious diseases brought to Africa by European settlers.
 

1. A person with a communicable disease was taken to a place away from the other members and was cared for in that setting.  They were never abandoned.  They were visited each day; food was brought to him/her; community members gathered and provided them with prayer, music, song and dance.
2. When a woman who earned her money as a sex worker contracted a sexually transmitted disease, she made her status known to her potential customers and lowered her price for those who decided to take the risk.
3. Wives of men who went away to work for periods of time made condoms for their husband to take with them and wear to serve as double protection -- for the men and for themselves.
4. Sexual intercourse before marriage was not an accepted practice.  However, he cited a number of simple non-exotic ways to achieve orgasm without penetration.

   Attitudinal changes usually precede behavioral changes. Removing the stigma, the shame, the blame and the excessive responsibility placed on women are painful but attainable steps that need to begin immediately.  Some of the other actions that are immediately needed are:  Increasing knowledge and information based on research about HIV/AIDS and passing it on to as many people as possible; motivating every person to know their HIV status and the advantages that such knowledge provides (preventing and containing the virus, maintaining health, and increasing longevity); and encouraging leaders, well known persons, and others to disclose their HIV and AIDS status as Magic Johnson did in the USA.

   Every one of us must become involved in stopping this pandemic --this hemorrhaging -- that is approaching genocidal proportions in Sub Sahara Africa.  Traditional healers and the "Knowledge and Wisdom Keepers" have key multileveled responsibilities to fulfill in the prevention, containment, and treatment of HIV/AIDS and other diseases (including violence) that are ravaging Sub Sahara Africa.  Arm yourselves with knowledge and expertise and make your voices heard.  And remember that we are only applying band-aids to stop the immediate bleeding.  Healing work, for all of us, is needed at much deeper and higher levels in Africa and globally, and people of African ancestry on the continent and in the Diaspora are needed as participating leaders to bring forth information, knowledge, and wisdom for this work and to restore the masculine/feminine Balance so that action is informed by wisdom.

You are the healers of the new world, the shaman of the millennium.  In the year 2000, you organized the International Convention in Ghana, West Africa.  The focus of this convention was to submerge yourselves into the concepts, rituals and practices of African Healers while connecting with your international colleagues and students.  Convention experiences included visits to the University of Ghana, Scientific Research Centers, Psychiatric Hospitals, African Shrines and the Slave Dungeons.  The convention program brought you face to face with our legacy and African heritage for professional and spiritual growth.

Naa Iya Bandele of ADASA, and Elder Mjumbe Ashe of Organic High Yield, LLC., were both born in America and now reside in Ghana, West Africa.  They have worked long and hard to assist and support the spiritual, physical, mental and economic healing of Africans throughout the Diaspora.  Their intent, now that they have been made aware of the ABPsi, is to form a joint venture with ABPsi to assist and facilitate the process of healing our relationships with ourselves here in the Americas and in Africa.

Naa Iya Bandele is also one of the founders of UBUNTU   Wholistic Life Center, a Center which will help orient our families, our communities and ourselves before traveling to Ghana.  We will also assist families through facilitating healing through lifestyle changes.  The Center is located in Fayettevile, Georgia, thirty minutes outside of Atlanta.

ADASA and Organic High Yield, LLC. have already laid the groundwork to facilitate a smooth and culturally meaningful entry into Ghana.  The land has been acquired, blueprints have been drawn, and the labor has begun to create an exceptional qualitative, environmentally sustainable state-of-the-art Welcome Center, located off the Cape Coast Road in Ghana. This Center will not only welcome Sisters and Brothers to the continent but will provide them with an orientation of the culture and guidance in the logistics of travel within the country.

The organizations have also acquired a 50,000-acre farm for the purpose of developing an agriculturally based global economic network.  Food is a vital component of our intent to heal ourselves.  We have developed a fully sustainable system of agricultural production which is free of potentially harmful chemicals and other substances that may damage the environment or threaten the health and well being of our families and ourselves, including the production and use of genetically altered seed and food products. This network is being organized for the production and distribution of organic food, fiber and biomass (to be used as feedstock), and for renewable energy, as well as natural fertilizer.

Internships and exchange programs of all description will be offered to those with talents to share.  These interns will be given accommodations at the Cape coast Welcome Center (Akwaaba Fie) and the farm when these facilities are complete.

This is a clarion call to all the peoples of the Diaspora to confront the present climate of chaotic global politics and the on-going assault to the ecology of our planet.  To quote Dr. Anthony Young,  "What is needed is not a commitment, but sacrifice, to insure that what we have set out to do becomes a reality."  It is the responsibility of those of us who are conscious to heal and repair our fragmented status.
Sincerely,
Naa Iya Bandele, Director of ADASA (770) 716-2171, and
Mjumbe Ashe, Director of Organic High Yield, LLC (404) 349-7240
