The Natural Blueprint for Relationships
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So many of us in the Afrikan community have sought solutions to the relationship problems we face. Unfortunately, it seems the more books we read, the more discussions we have, the more "solutions" we come up with, things are getting worse. Fortunately there are some Afrikans who have done the real work of coming up with VIABLE solutions. One such Afrikan is someone whose work I have shared on this forum, Yao Nyamekye Morris. This brotha has written a new book entitled The Natural Blueprint for Relationships - Amanmere Volume II.
Here's an excerpt from the website promoting the book.
The Three Negative Relationship Cycles
When they are young, each boy and girl writes a “relationship program” into the coding of their subconscious mind. This process begins when we are but infants. We first observe our parents and copy the program based on what we see them do. Then the focus shifts when we are about two and one half years old. We form a relationship with our parent of the opposite sex. And based on this relationship, be it good or bad, we write another layer of programming onto the code that was already there. And we continue to update and expand this program After our initial experience with our parent of the opposite sex, we add to this information each time we have a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. During the teenage years is the period of the most intense activity of this programming.
This relationship program that we each write to our subconscious minds, is the vision we construct in our mind of how a relationship with a member of the opposite sex should look like in all its aspects. If we mature and develop naturally, and we live in a society that operates in alignment with nature, our relationship program will be a normal one, and the forces of nature will assist us in every aspect to make our overall relationship experience a happy and productive one. But if our development is halted prematurely, and we fail to develop in a normal way, the opposite will occur. And if the society that we live in is out of alignment with nature, then our relationship program will be an abnormal one to some degree. It may be slightly abnormal, or severely abnormal. Of course today the vast majority of the programs written into the subconscious mind of African Americans are abnormal programs. Because the vast majority of African Americans have developed the Counterfeit Persona, instead of cultivating a natural persona based on the natal attributes they were born with. I estimate that more than 95% of all adult African Americans have developed a Counterfeit Persona. And as we said before, this is the result of living in a society overrun with false belief systems. And Blacks fall victim to these false beliefs as a consequence of seeking to assimilate into a dysfunctional culture.
Once the relationship program becomes fixed in the adult subconscious mind, it will dictate how that man or woman will function in any relationships with a member of the opposite sex. Our program determines all our behaviors with the opposite sex. Do we flirt? Are we shy? How do we dress? What arouses us? How intensely can the opposite sex arouse us? It also determines our level of communication with our sexual partner. And it determines the issues that incite us. Each person exhibits a pre-determined pattern to their relationship experience. This pre-set pattern is self-programmed into the person’s subconscious. In the presence of the counterfeit persona this program is at least to some extent dysfunctional. And so today, most men and women enter adulthood with a pre-disposition to fail in their first relationships with the opposite sex. I am sure this is no surprise to most readers. And based on the particular type of their counterfeit persona, we can accurately predict this failure. For the presence of the counterfeit persona causes each man or woman to fail at relationships according to a pre-determined pattern. There are different “versions” of the counterfeit persona, in fact there are five distinct types or structures of the counterfeit persona. The version of the counterfeit persona that one develops is directly related to the type of false belief system one accepted which gave him or her the counterfeit persona in the first place. And further, there are degrees of intensity to each counterfeit persona. Some are mild, some are acute, and others are chronic. And the degree of intensity of the dysfunction is directly related to the intensity of the experience of trauma. If we know which version of the counterfeit persona a person is afflicted with, and we know the level of intensity of it, then we can predict how that person will undermine his or her relationships. There is a pattern that defines the relationship experience of most people today.
This technology marks the beginning of the process that we will outline wherein one can predict the behavior of potential mates before he or she engages in the relationship. We mark the six most destructive acts to healthy relationships as: infidelity, incest, spouse abuse, molestation, acculturated prostitution and bi-sexual activity (where the opposite sex partner is kept in the dark). Through the systems incorporated within the natural blueprint, it is possible to predict with some accuracy the inclination of any male or female to engage in any of the six major plagues to relationships. These protocols are outlined in future chapters. The determination of the type of counterfeit persona and the level of severity, are the first steps in this forecasting model.
When two people with counterfeit personas attempt to relate to each other, the result is a negative relationship cycle. People who manifest a counterfeit persona will exhibit the same negative pattern in each successive relationship. The person they are relating to may change, but the general experience remains the same. They will experience a series of relationships that are to a great extent very similar to each other. A cycle begins to develop. They keep repeating the same faulty relationship program time after time after time. The faces change, but the same issue keeps sabotaging the relationship. Because these are subconscious programs, the person is likely to repeat the negative cycle, even when they believe in their mind they are choosing a different type, or correcting “bad” behavior. In reality these are only surface changes.
Today men and women feel intensely “in love” at the start of the relationship. But during the entire time that I’ve been observing couples, this emotional feeling has no power whatsoever, to counter the force of a person’s subconscious mind. Emotions easily change. Emotional love can not stand up against the power of spiritual dysfunction. People do have the power to stop the negative cycle and enjoy a normal satisfying relationship, but only if they are made aware of the cycle. It’s been said that insanity is when a person continues to do the same thing over and over again, but each time they expect a different result. And in some ways this defines the state of many single individuals in our society, who actively seek a mate. A negative relationship cycle occurs when you act like a broken record-- you just keep repeating the same negative relationship experience over and over again, each time with a different person. As we continue in this chapter, and in future ones, the reader will be instructed as to how he or she can predict the outcome of their relationships. There are three versions of the negative relationship cycle. We devote a small amount of discussion to each one here, and there will be more discussion of all three all throughout the book.
Now I know some people like to question the origin of information. Here's another excerpt discussing the Amanmere Project:
THE AMANMERE PROJECT
The Amanmere Project began in 1990. The project involved the collection of information relevant to conducting relationships from indigenous cultures in the African Diaspora. The aim was to use information gathered from authentic indigenous sources to construct a model for successful male/ female relationships that could be employed in any social landscape, even western society. The project lasted seven years, and included input from communities in Brazil, West Africa, the Caribbean, and African Americans in North America. Persons from eight different spiritual orders or religious sects were consulted. The traditions, protocols and customs of twelve social or ethnic groups were studied. These included:
1. African Americans in the urban northeast being considered one group,
2. African Americans in the rural south being considered a second group.
3. The Jamaicans, who are mainly descended from the Asante People around the Volta River Basin are considered one ethnic group.
4. Those persons of mainly African descent, who are mixed with the indigenous Carib Indians, and living on one of the Caribbean Islands being an ethnic group.
5. Those Africans mixed heavily with Native American blood, and living in the northern region of Brazil (Baia), being one ethnic group.
6. The other seven groups being from mainland Africa.
An Epiphany
One night during a winter solstice ritual, I had what many would call an epiphany. While in trance, Spirit instructed me to “talk the talk, and walk the walk”, or put into practice and share knowledge that I’ve learned about relationships and sexuality, based on African culture. But in doing this, I was going to have to attain to a deeper level of communion with the spirit world. It would involve additional study and research, which would require the input of many people scattered through out the African Diaspora. I was to go to these people, whoever they were, gain this information, write it all down and share it with the public in the form of a book. It would be very hard work. And it was suggested that my people would not be very receptive at first. The idea of this project didn’t appeal to me at all. It did not appeal to me because Black folks traditionally can be so stubborn and resistance to new ideas, especially when the source is unconventional. I did not want this hassle. So I decided to ignore the messages from Spirit and not do the project. But they would not leave it there.
In a matter of weeks just about every aspect of my life went wrong! I lost a very important contract. A client gave me a bad check for a very large sum of money. My girlfriend left me. I received an eviction notice, and just about anything bad that could happen did happen. And then there was a natural gas explosion; my apartment just blew up! The paramedics dug me out from underneath the concrete and debris, surprised that I was still alive.
While recuperating, I had a second epiphany… “Maybe I should listen to Spirit and do the project”!! So I started what would later be known as the Amanmere Project. I worked with an assortment of elders, priests, shaman, medicine men, healers, sages, and seers who would share their wisdom about natural science with me. In some cases I would travel to them, but for the most part they would be summoned to me. In some cases it was just a matter of reading their book, or attending a lecture. My research for the project lasted seven years. What I discovered was informative and enlightening.
The project yielded a lot of information. I wrote down a small portion of this information. Much of this information was too complex or just too strange to introduce to the public right now. I did not record this information with the main files for the public. It has been set aside. In the first volume of Amanmere, published in 1997, I presented about 25% of the stuff I wrote down. This book is now out of print, and only available through the author under very special circumstances. In this the second volume of Amanmere, The Natural Blueprint For Relationships, I am bringing forth another one third (1/3) of the info.
Many ancient African cultures, and some indigenous cultures still in existence, recognize that there existed at one time a “Code of Life”, or set of “Original Life Teachings.” Because of the uncertainty of life of earth, and the transitory nature of most societies, it was expected that man would often lose these teachings. Thus it is said that one of the jobs Mother Nature assigned to the ancestors was to archive or keep a record of the original teachings. The deity Sankofa, a major Elemental spirit, also assists the living population with gaining access to the original teachings or the blueprint. Thus it is through communication with the ancestors, and deities that humans are able from time to time to refresh their memory of the life code or original teachings. That is why these words refer to a way of life as prescribed by the ancestors.
What are the “Original Teachings” and where did they come from? Many sources have spoken about the origin of man in this current age, and something referred to as the original teachings for the four races. Some of these cultures being the Dogon People of Mali, The Shaolin of China, Native American holy men from the Hopi of the southwest, to the Lakota Sioux, to as far south as Peru, the Akan of Ghana, and a host of indigenous traditions in Indonesia and Australia. They all say that at the beginning of this age God created four new races and gave each race a set of original life teachings, specific to that race. Over the course of my research and study of over 25 years, I have come into contact with what I believe to be fragments and caches of wisdom that once was part of a greater whole. In other words, I believe that there is a natural blueprint for life, and that today, we have gained access to a portion of it.
As a result of slavery we lost touch with a vast amount of knowledge from our ancient traditions. For example, our ancestors who were former slaves couldn’t pass on to their children, some working system of how to function sexually, in a responsible way. They didn’t possess such a system, because they lost the information when they endured the horrors of slavery. They had to, “make it up as they went along”. But it is never too late to go back and fetch what you have lost. The real sin is to deny the true heritage of your blood. The tragedy is not to place value on what is perhaps the single most valuable thing a man can possess, which is the highest knowledge of what he is, and what God’s design for him is.

I'll say this. I've been exposed to information from the Amanmere Project for five years now. It's the real deal. Most of the Afrikans who have followed this information are now in happy and productive relationships. If they are not in relationships they are doing the necessary work to prepare themselves for productive relationships. This information represents THOUSANDS of years of accumalated wisdom. We need to avail ourselves of this information and apply it to the greater community. Quite frankly, the clock is ticking and the endless debates are not getting us anywhere. There's some things coming that I'm not allowed to discuss on a message board. We only have a few years to get ready and even then many Afrikans will not be able to make the necessary transition. For those who overstand no explanation is necessary. For those who don't none is possible.
Check out the book.
