quite familar with the concept of the unconscious and the psychological

process of projection. Futhermore, they appear to have been familiar with the

concepts of Inner Vision,the Eye of

endocrine relationships to visualization of Black Symbolism. These are subjects which have been lost and only partially regained by mcxiern science.

Ancient Africans of Kemet so valued their Black Skin that there was a
