Simba Simbi: Hold up That Which Holds You Up Paperback – March 1, 2007

I love it! This book is short but deep.

This book is a great piece of literature. The reviewer Derric (Rau Khu) Moore gave the book a bad review in order to promote their own book. That is very shady. Plus his book is garbage.

Beautiful work!

This author is considered the ultimate authority on the Kongo way. When I learned that approximately one-third of the African Americans are probably of Kongo descent and that a lot of African American culture has Kongo influence. I began looking and trying to find more books written by the author whom I first learned of in Robert F. Thompson's book Flash of the Spirit: African & Afro-American Art & Philosophy. Then when I read Robert T. Farris' Face of the Gods: Art and Altars of Africa and the African Americas (African art) and saw some of the comments and explanations that K. Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau offered in regards to some of the African American folk art that was displayed. I really felt inspired (combined with some other trials and tribulations) to stop looking at life through other peoples' eyes and try seeing things from my ancestors' perspectives.When I stopped looking through other peoples' eyes, after reading and studying about the Kamitic/Kemetic (Ancient Africans of Egypt) tradition for years and learning about the neteru (Kamitic/Kemetic angels or divinities incorrectly called deities or gods), I concluded that the neteru appear to people differently. To me, the neteru or netcharu were more like guardian spirits that protected humanity , which I wrote about in my self-published book MAA AANKH: Finding God the Afro-American Spiritual Way, by Honoring the Ancestors and Guardian Spirits. More importantly they protect and guard the mysteries of the universe or said another way, protect God's creations from the arrogance and foolishness of humanity. They basically help to maintain the order and everything else, in order for the sun to rise and set, the planet to rotate, and everything else that we see in the known/visible world. It was through my experience I learned from my ancestors that the netcharu were basically the equivalent of the Kongo simbi.It was after my experience and testing my theory through an act of faith that this book was released or re-released from my understanding. In it the author confirmed what the simbi are, which coincided with what my ancestors had shown me and I had experienced. In the book, the author also gives a poetic way of empowering oneself. The only problem with this book is that it is, it is not a book. It is that it is a super, super, super, super thin pamphlet with some very invaluable information within it, which should have been probably included another book. This is why I hated to do it, but I had to give this work 3 stars.

This shouldn't even be a book, Literally the worst waste of money.
