highly recommended

This is a cross-disciplinary meditation on how all human beings may be linked through a primordial African collective unconsious. The author uses a non-Western intellectual paradigm and draws his documentation from many fields including biology, physics, history, anthropology and archaeology, mysticism, psychology and psychoanalysis, and astronomy. The text unfolds a vision of the human species from our earliest days up to contemporary times.

The African Unconscious

Contrary to the review from your Chicago reader that referenced this book as "Simplistic & Biased", history as many of us have been taught in the western hemisphere, has always been "Biased". If you correct a wrong, it is always viewed as being "Biased." The late and great writer, Curtis Mayfield, conveyed in his lyrics -- PEOPLE GET READY...THERE'S A TRAIN A COMIN' YOU DON'T NEED NO TICKET - JUST GET ON BOARD!

The African Unconscious

The African Unconscious is one of the most exciting and involved books on the African journey. The book is well documented and should be required reading for everyone.

Dr. Bynum has made a brilliant contribution to the human family, and particularly, African people. I think his name will go down in history as one of the most important people who help to reclaim the real history of Africa.

I was interested in the comments made by Abu Mahid Jamillar. His comments are similar to the whites who rewrote the world history in order to colonize its people. Abu Mahid Jamillar is rightly concerned that his people are going to have to atone for their involvement in slavery and the destruction of African culture.

The African Unconscious

I agree with Lee S. Sannella. This book is a must read for all scholars, students of consciouness and the general public.

As a "being of light," consciouness enfolds all human life and therefore, even though consciouness manifested first through the African body, consciouness itself is not dependent upon the body. Let us not make the same mistake as the ignorant by claiming something orignated with us. Consciouness is a spiritual child of God, Odu and Osiris. Having pervaded the entire world with a fragment of Himself, the unmanifest Brahman remains.

However, we should celebrate the fact that Africans were the first people to be ready to be fully human. In the beginning God created heaven and earth and 3,700,000 years ago he breathed into a black Adam and mankind became a living entity.

The African Unconscious

An interesting thesis which attempts to unify the strands of human development with the origins of the human species on the African continent. A well-written and thought-provoking treatise.
