      DEDICATION

      To my amazing wife, I love you!  Thank you, without your love, support and inspiration I could have never accomplished this dream of mine.  To our dear daughter, always know that there is no ceiling!  With thoughts, ideas and organized planning there is nothing you cannot accomplish.

      Acknowledgements

      I would like to thank my teachers, professors, and my family without whose help this book would never have been completed.  Thank you for always supporting my vision and encouraging me to pursue my dreams with unyielding force!

      Thank you to all of my mentors, coaches and colleagues who in some way, shape or form contributed to the person I am today.  To all who view this publication, I love you.  We are all one, just in a varying incarnation.  Never be afraid to become the light that you seek!

      Preface

      Growing up, certain ideals and beliefs were set into my psyche from both family and society.  Things like go to school, get a good job, be a good Christian and a die-hard Washington sports fanatic.  Even finite things such as my appearance were shaped by the influence of society.  One day that all changed.

      My wife and I would often have very deep discussions about life and why we as a collective tend to accept certain norms as law.  In questioning societal norms and researching the origins of many so called truths, we began to notice we’d been living in a figurative Twilight Zone.  Newly married, with a child on the way, we had to unlearn almost everything we’d been taught growing up in order to create our own family dynamic independent from expectations.

      A few weeks after our daughter was born we decided to embrace a plant based lifestyle free of all meat and dairy.  This because we wanted to ensure that we were doing everything in our power to be healthy, here for her, setting good habits and an example for her to see how to live a healthy life. 

      In a domino like fashion, following the plant-based lifestyle adjustment came mindfulness meditation, then quitting alcohol and starting a business.  The man that I had been up until age 30 was no more.  Life in each moment became the most beautiful thing to experience and with a clear vision I knew I could accomplish anything I set my mind to.  But as I observed the landscape of my fellow human, particularly those in my generation and below, I understood what I needed to do.

      I wrote this book in effort to give what I have learned and experienced, to all who it can have a positive effect upon.  Millennial Initiates is not a dogmatic, authoritarian guideline to tell folks how to live their lives.  It is rather, a grouping of ideals both spiritual and practical that can aid the reader in finding their own light within.  Centuries of misinformation has led us to this place in time where individuals are living a life controlled by emotion and impulse.  This text will expose some of that misinformation and use ancient African spirituality in conjunction with present day science to guide the reader to a more mindful way of living.  I entitled this work Millennial Initiates to represent the present day awakening of a generation not indifferent from the ancient Egyptian initiations of old. 

      I drew inspiration from works such as The Metu-Neter by Dr. Ra Un Nefer Amen, The Kybalion by three initiates and The Emerald Tablets of Thoth translated by Dr. Michael Doreal just to name a few.  These esoteric, philosophical works combined with the aforementioned dialogues between my wife and I, filled my mind with a vast amount of information that needed to be shared.  I hope within the text of this book you find principles that may add value to your life.

      Through the space and time that separate us I extend my hand in friendship as the light in me greets the light within you. Namaste.

      Introduction

      The odds of us being born are 400 Trillion to one!  We are not accidents; we are here in divine order.  The seemingly endless chain link of events in a cycle of cause and effect leading up to birth is simply unfathomable!  Nonetheless, here we are.  The unseen miracle lies within the atom of every cell that is us.  Yet, due to unfortunate events over the last few hundred years, which are a blink in the infinity of time, the culture of our beloved black community finds itself searching for a new identity.  We’ve witnessed the first African American President, some have seen higher economic prosperity, and we are more educated than ever!  But still there seems to be a disconnect as many of us are attempting to rediscover our ancestral roots pre-slavery.  There is a collective spark that lies dormant within us as a collective.  It has been forgotten and in many of us it has yet to even come into knowledge of its own existence.  Buried beneath a seemingly immovable weight of ego and false self-identification, yet not extinguished.  It lies dormant awaiting the chance that it might come to know itself and bring forth unprecedented power not before seen in its own image.  That hibernation is over! 

      Peel back the veil of the Maya!  Mindless entertainment, deceit filled history books, poison on plates and served on the rocks. ENOUGH! 

      Embedded within these words shines the LIGHT of a new day!  An unyielding force as bright as the morning sunrise, fanning the spark within all who absorb its message, that it might illuminate into a blaze giving rise unto the next golden age of mankind!  The information age has brought with it a revived consciousness not seen since the time of the ancients.  Combined with the mitochondrial DNA and cellular memory passed down through the ages, we are witness to the revived spirit of the ancestors! 

      GRAND RISING MILLENNIAL INITIATES!

      So let it be.
