THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT FOR THE SPIRITUAL SYSTEMS KNOWN AS PALO MONTE
OR PALO MAYOMBE DERIVE FROM THE WEST-CENTRAL AFRICAN REGION PEOPLED BY
SEVERAL ETHNIC GROUPS WHO COLLECTIVELY IS KNOWN AS "BANTU", THE MANY HEADS.
THESE ARE WORLDS FILLED WITH AWE AND MYSTERY, SACRED RITES AND ORDERS
THAT INCLUDE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD OR THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN.
THE LANDS OF NANI CALLED IN BOZAL "TIERRA NANI" IS THE MOTHERLAND OF
AFRICA, WHO GAVE BIRTH TO OUR WAYS AND UNDERSTANDINGS OF NATURE AND HOW MAN WALKS ON SOLID PATHS TOWARD BECOMING MORE, PROGRESS IS A NEED FOR OUR SACRED WAYS TO CONTINUE ALONG AND LIFT UP THE CREATION UNDER THE
GOVERNORSHIP OF THE CREATOR.
NEW WORLD CARILE PA' YIMBULLAR, A NEW WORLD TO BE SUNG, THESE ARE
THE AMERICAS, AND THE KONGO ARRIVED ALONG WITH OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS FROM
AFRICA TO NEW LANDS ACROSS THE BIG WATERS KALUNGA, REALM OF MYSTERY.
THE MUNDELE OR WHITE MAN TRANSPORTED THE AFRICAN WHO HAD BEEN SOLD TO
HIM BY OTHER AFRICANS, THAT IS THE WAY IT WAS IN THE TIME FRAMES OF THE
MOTHERLANDS, SLAVERY WAS AN ACCEPTED WAY OF LIFE AND PRACTICED BY ALL
TRIBES AND ETHNIC GROUPS IN AFRICAN, "FUERZA MAYOR DOMINA FUERZA
MENOR" MAJOR FORCE DOMINATES MINOR FORCE, THIS IS THE REALITY THAT WAS
AFRICA AND IS AFRICA.
THE NEW LANDS ACROSS THE BIG WATERS WAS FILLED WITH A MIXING OF THE
PEOPLES AND THE OLD WAYS OF THE MOTHERLANDS WERE NO MORE, NEW WAYS
BECAME TO BE DEVELOPED TO CONTEND WITH THE NEW REALITIES FOUND TO
EXIST IN THE TIME SPACE FRAMES THE AFRICAN FOUND THEMSELVES IN.
THE SPIRITUAL SYSTEMS OF THE KONGOS WERE OLD WAYS DEVELOPED IN NEW
LANDS.
PALO MONTE, PALO MAYOMBE, KIMBISA, BRIYUMBA, VILIYUMBA, ORIYUMBA, BRIYUMBA KONGO, ERISI BALANDE, LEMBA SAO,NFINDA KUNA LEMBA,VITITI KONGO,BRAMA CON BRAMA, NKITA MUNANKITA, ITI KONGO, MPATI KONGO, KONGRAMA ,MASONGO, SACARA EMPEÑLO, BATALLA KONGO, GUINDAVELA, PASO FIRME, NTOTO CHANGANI, BUSCA RASTRO, MUANSAMBIA, JURA JURA, SANTO CRISTO BUEN VIAJE, SANTO CRISTO DEL BUEN VIAJE, CORTA LIMA AND MANY MANY MANY MORE LINES AND BRANCHES DERIVED FROM THE BARACONES OF THE SLAVES OR IN THE PALENQUES OF THE RUNAWAY CIMAROONS THAT LIVED IN THE HILLS AND MOUNTAINS OF THE ISLAND OF CUBA, WHICH WAS FIRST CALLED THE ISLAND OF JUANA BY THE SPANISH AND KUBANACAN BY THE ARAWAK NATIVES PRIOR TO THE INVASION BY THE EUROPEANS.
AFRICANS AND LANDINOS [FREE BLACKS] ARRIVED IN CUBA SINCE 1513 AND THE
LARGE SLAVE IMPORTS BEGAN IN THE LATE 1600S TO 1887 AND THEN SOME
[ILLEGAL IMPORTING CONTINUED TILL THE EARLY 1900S], THIS WAS WHEN THE
TRADITIONS COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS PALO KONGO TOOK FORM AND ESSENCE IN
THE NEW WORLD.
SURVIVAL IS AN UGLY WORD WHICH SPEAKS ON BEING A VICTIM OF SITUATION
OR A THING, WHICH WAS NOT A WORD USED IN KOSA KONGO OR THE KONGO
THINGS, INSTEAD THEY USED THE WORD "QUIEN VENCE" WHO OVERCOMES
OR WHO WINS, IT'S A COMBATIVE WORD FOR A TRADITION THAT WAS FORCED TO
FIGHT FOR IT'S RIGHT TO EXIST FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE ONSLAUGHT
AGAINST THE SPIRITUAL SYSTEMS STEMMING SINCE THE DAYS OF THE BAKONGO EMPIRE AND LOANGO KINGDOMS, THE CRISTIANOS FORCED FED THE CROSS AND THE DOGMA OF ROME BY CAPUCHIN MONKS WHO WERE ALSO COLLECTING THE HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE OF THE INITIATIONS INSTITUTIONS OF LEMBA, WMELO, KIMPASI, NKITA, KIHIMBA, NGOMA, AND OTHER SYSTEMS THAT CAME FROM THE OLD LANDS OF AFRICA FROM THE CRADLE OF THE BANTU BIRTH PLACE AND FROM WHERE MODERN MAN EMERGED IN THE LANDS OF ERITERIA.
THE LEGACY OF THE OLD ONES SHIPPED OVER FROM THE MOTHERLANDS AND
PLACED ON THE ISLAND OF CUBA IS WHAT THE MPANGUI HAVE AND IN RETURN
LEFT TO US THE PRESENT OWNERS OF FOUNDATIONS AND TRADITIONS IN ANOTHER
NEW LAND, NTOTO KUNANYUMA, THE MAINLAND AND CONTINENTAL UNITED
STATES, THESE ARE THE TIMES FOR THE CONTINUUM OF OUR WAYS.
IN PALO MONTE THE MOUNT HAS THORNS AND VINES THAT TIE UP TREES, THE
MYSTERY IS KNOWING HOW TO CUT THE TREE AND TAKE THE BRANCH WITH
ESSENCE AND UNDER TREATISE ESTABLISHED BY THE ELDERS.
THE NGANGA IS NOT DUMB, IT IS A DOUBLE EDGE KNIFE, ONE NEEDS TO HAVE
SKILLS IN ORDER TO CUT PALO CAIMITO, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CUT IT
BAD THORNS WILL STING YOU.
FIRST YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE TO GOVERN, A BABY IN DIAPERS CAN
ONLY CRAWL ON ALL FOURS.
THE OLD BLADE TAKES CARE OF ITS MASTER, A TATA IS A TATA, ELDER COUNCIL
GUIDES YOU, GRAY HAIRS DON'T GET WASHED OUT WITH BATH.
LEARN NOT TO TAKE UP SPACE, BE HUMBLE AND IN SILENCE ONE LEARNS BY
HEARING THE ELDERS TALK THE TALK THAT THEY HAVE WALKED ON PATHS LONG
AND WINDING WITH MANY PIT FALLS, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE
TREES THAT ARE GOOD ONLY FOR CHARCOAL, AND IF A TREE IS BORN
TWISTED, IT'S TRUNK WILL NEVER GROW STRAIGHT.
JUMPING FROM TREE TO TREE WITH OUT KNOWING WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR
ATTEMPTING TO JUMP A BARBED WIRED FENCE MAY CAUSE YOU TO GET CAUGHT UP
BY THE WIRE.
THE RULES OF PALO MONTE EXIST AND NO ONE IS BORN KNOWING THEM.
PALO MONTE MAYOMBE IS A THING OF MAGOS AS WERE THE THREE KINGS THAT
YOU NEED TO LEARN BEFORE YOU CAN GOVERN.
NFINDA IS THE FOREST, ANABUTU IS EARTH MOTHER, NKUNIA LEMBA SAO IS SACRED LAND, AND KINDEMBO IS THE CALDERON THAT IS A WORLD IN MINIATURE, IN THE MOTHER LANDS THE OLD ONES HAD SACRED GROVES, IN THE NEW LANDS THIS DUE TO SITUATION COULD NOT BE, SO A GROVE WAS DONE IN SMALL AND PLACED IN A POT WITH THREE LEGS TO REPRESENT THE SPIRITUAL-PHYSICAL-INTELLECTUAL EXISTENCE THAT THE KINDEMBO STANDS ON, IT ALSO LOCKS DOWN ALL CURRENTS OF NDOKI
BUENO [GOOD NDOKI] AND NDOKI MALO [BAD NDOKI] THE TRI LEGS BALANCES THE
FORCES THE ARE DEEP IN MYSTERY AND IN POWER.
THE PATHS TRAVLED HAVE BEEN PASO GUAZO OR THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW ALSO
THE FIRM PATH CALLED PASO FIRME.
REMEMBERING TO GIVE HONOR TO THE LEARNED LEGACY LEFT BY THE ELDERS AND
TO EMBARK ON IT'S GOOD VOYAGE TOWARDS NZILE PALO KONGO [PALO
KONGO PATHS].
MAYOMBE BATALLA SACARA EMPENYO,ERISI PALO BALANDE, BRIYUMBA KONGO,
NKITA MUNANKITA, ALL BAFIOTE OR NKENTO [BLACK MAN]CAME FROM AFRICA,WE
NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS AXIOM YET REMEMBER THAT WE ARE CRIOLLO AND IF
WE JUMP THE PUDDLE NOT TO GET WET.
KUNANYUMA,THIS IS WHY THIS PIECE IS IN ENGLISH AND GEARD FOR THE NEW
PLACE OUR TRADITIONS HAVE TAKEN US TO, SPANISH, BOZAL, KIKONGO WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF PALO, BUT WE ARE IN A LAND THAT THE DOMINATING LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH SO WE WILL ADAPT AS PALO HAS ALWAYS ADAPTED.
THE WISE MAN IS INSTRUCTED SO AS TO BE ABLE TO OVERCOME IN ALL MATTERS
AND SITUATIONS IN ORDER TO GOVERN, WISDOM IS DIVIDED IN TO MANY
HEADS, AND EACH HEAD IS A WORLD.
HOW CAN A PERSON SEEK TO GOVERN WARRIOR ACTIONS FOUND IN THE SPIRIT
SYSTEMS OF PALO KONGO BUT THEN THEY CAN NOT LAY THE LAW DOWN IN THEIR
OWN HOUSE, THEY CRY WHEN THEIR WOMEN LEAVE THEM AND FRET WHEN THEY CAN
NOT DISCIPLINE CHILDREN, YET WANT TO BE CHECHE BACHECHE ON TOP OF A
NGANGA, DON'T BE A FOOL, PALO KONGO IS A WARRIOR PATH WITH WARRIOR
WAYS BUT IT IS NOT TYRANNY NOR A DICTATORSHIP.
A GOOD SON, A GOOD BROTHER, A GOOD HUSBAND, A GOOD FATHER, AND A GOOD
FRIEND IS THE NORMS THAT DEFINE A TATA THAT IS A TATA, LOYALTY AND
DEDICATION IS THE BANNER FLOWN AND TO BE SEEN.
HAS HOPES THAT HIS CREATION LEARNS TO LIVE ALIVE AND NOT JUST EXIST.
WITHOUT SPIRITUAL FACULTIES THE PALERO IS JUST THAT, A PALERO, TO BE
AN NGANGULERO AN NKISI MALONGO OR A KINTUALA NKISI A WISE ELDER AND A
LIGHT ON DARK PATHS ONE NEEDS TO REMEMBER THAT THESE SYSTEMS WERE BORN
FROM RESISTANCE AND WAR YET THEY STRIVE FOR LIGHT AND PROGRESS SO AS
TO CONTINUE, THOSE THAT WANT TO BELIEVE PALO TO BE ONLY OF THE DARK ARE
THEMSELVES CAUGHT ON THE BARBED WIRE AND LACK THE FIRMAMENT TO BE
ANYTHING OTHER THEN MINOR LEAGUE PLAYERS.
THE WISE MAN INSTRUCTS SO AS TO BE ABLE TO GOVERN, THUS IT IS LIFE
THAT ONE LEARNS DOES NOT OCCUPY SPACE. NEITHER THE HEAD IS GOING TO
GROW MORE.
LEARNING AND TO NOURISH THEMSELVES OF SPIRITUAL FACULTY TO TEACH SO
TO OTHERS IN THE WAYS OF The RELIGION/TRADITION AND SPIRITUAL SYSTEMS
OF PALO KONGO,PALO MAYOMBE, PALO MONTE.
THE EXPERIENCE, PRACTICES MAKES THE PERFECT. THE LOVE, RESPECT,
DEVOTION AND PURSUIT WITH YEARS AND DILIGENCE UNDER THE POWER OF
NZAMBI A MPUNGO (GOD).
KNOWLEDGE WON THROUGH TIME, BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS, AND SACRIFICE, NOT
BARTERED FOR WITH MONIES AND PRETEND RITES HAVING TITLES GIVEN BUT NOT
EARNED IN THE MANNER SO MANY OTHERS HAVE COME TO HOLD THESE PLAZAS AND
RANKS ONLY BECAUSE THEY CAN PAY THE PRICE IN COIN, WHEN SO MANY
QUALIFIED PEOPLES OF LIKE KIND WERE NOT CHOSEN.
WHY WOULD A PERSON NOT OF THE BLOOD LINES OR SPIRIT LINES BE TAKEN IN
AND GIVEN WHAT THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE STRUGGLE BEING OVER
LOOKED.
MONIES EXCHANGED.
THE STATE OF BEING AN NGANGULERO IS ONE OF DOING THE DO AND BEING REAL
IN THE FACE OF ESTABLISHED WAYS NOT OURS BUT FORCED ON US, WE ARE
FORCED TO PLAY WHITE FACE AND BLACK FACE, FORCED TO CONCEAL OUR FAITH
AND HIDE OUR WAYS, WHEN IN GUINEA MAYOMBE WAS A GOOD THING.
NOW THE VERY PEOPLES THAT HAVE TAKEN SO MUCH FROM SO MANY CONTINUE
THEIR ONSLAUGHT ON OUR TRADITIONS, THESE ACADEMICS AND FOLKLORIST WHO
PLAY AT BEING NGANGULEROS BUT REFUSE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY,
THEY FEED YOU INFORMATION THEY HORDED AND STOLE AND NOW CLAIM
COPY WRITE, YES, THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT FORGET THE REASON FOR
PALO TO BE ESTABLISHED IN CUBA, AS A MEANS OF RESISTANCE AND TO HAVE AN
EDGE OVER THOSE THAT HAVE MADE THEORETICAL KEEPERS OF TRUTH, THEIR
TRUTH AND THEIR HIS-STORY BUT FORGETTING "OURSTORY" BECAUSE
IT WAS NEVER IN THEM TO BEGIN WITH.
THIS DEDICATION, LEAVING TRACKS AUTHORIZING, GIFTS AND VIRTUES THAT
MANY HAVE BEEN ABLE THEM TO GAIN WITH EFFORT AND DILIGENCE.
I LOVE THOSE THAT GAVE BIRTH TO MAYOMBE BIRTHING BRILLUMBA KONGO
WHICH IS THEN BORN KIMBISA, GUINDAVELA, CORTA LIMA, VITITI KONGO,
SANTO CRISTO AND MUSUNDI, AND MANY OTHER BRANCHES, ALL BORN IN CUBA
AND THAT THEY ARE ACTIVE AND EFFECTIVE GIVING FRUITS SO THAT OTHERS
ARE STILL BEING BORN. MAKING ALLIANCES WITH OTHER RELIGIONS AND
TRADITIONS CRIOLLO AND AFRICAN SO AS TO GATHER A UNIFIED EFFORT AND
BRING ABOUT KOSA BUENA-A GOOD THING, FOR ALL INVOLVED.
AND HYPE OF CHRISTIAN SUPREMACIES THAT HAVE ATTACKED AND ATTEMPTED TO
COMMITTED RELIGIOUS GENOCIDE ON ANY FAITH NOT OF THEIR LIKING, YET WHEN
YOU EXAMINE WELL THEIR "HISTORY" YOU DISCOVER LIES, DECEIT,
MURDER AND INVENTED TALES TO CONTROL THE MASSES AND PLACE THEM AS MILD SHEPHERDED TO WHIMS OF THE SHEPARD AND THOSE THAT CLAIM UNION WITH HIM.
DOES THE ANTI CHRIST EXIST?
YES INDEED!
THEY ARE CALLED CHRISTIANS!
CRISTIANO QUE TU HACE POR AQUI EN ESTE CAMINO, LO MIO SON JUDIO
IGUALITO COMO EL QUIEN TU LLAMA CRISTO!
BUEN VIAJE SANTO CRISTO MI NGANGA ME ESTA GUIANDO POR SENDEROS CON
CURVAS, PERO YO ANDO DERECHITO CON MI NSARA,YO PARO DERECHITO CON MI
MAYOMBE, QUE FUE BUENO EN GUINEA.
OFICIO KONGO NO COME CUENTO / KONGO OFFICE DOES NOT EAT STORIES, WHEN
KALUNGA THE SEA GETS ANGRY ONE NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE THE
WATERS TO ARRIVE ON DRY LAND, YOU NEED TO TIE DOWN WELL YOUR SHIP THAT
TAKES YOU ALONG THE WATERS.
WHEN DOES THE WATER EAT THE LAND?
WHEN THE WATERS ARE DISTURBED,IN THE RIVER FLOOD,IN THE TSUNAMI,THE
WATERS RISE UP AND CONSUMES THE EARTH, CHANGING IT UPON RESIDING OR
ENGULFING IT WHOLE, DO NOT BE FOOLED KALUNGA IS MOTHER BUT CASTIGATES
LIKE THE FATHER, AND WHEN THE WHIP FALLS BY THE WHIM OF MOTHER OF
WATERS YOU RECALL THE STING FOR A LONG TIME.
LEARN FROM THE HOUSE CAT THAT BURIES ITS KAKA SO THAT THE SMELL IS
COVERED, THIS IS REGLA SUTUMUTUKUNI, IT HIDES ITS ESSENCE AND REVEALS
NOT IT'S TRUTH, FOR THE ONE THAT WANTS TO KNOW MUCH, MANY LIES TO
HIM?.
ALL ARRIVES IN TIMESPACE WHEN NEEDED NOT BEFORE,IN THE BAD TIME I AM
THE MAYORAL, YOU ADAPT AND RELAX, ALL COMES IN IT'S HOUR, DO NOT BE
FOOLED BY THESE CHILDREN CUTTING AND CLAIMING PLAZAS WITHOUT GRAY
HAIRS AND THE TEST OF TIME UNDER THEIR FEET WALKING ON THE FIRM PATH.
THE KONGO IS NO FOOL HE ALWAYS HIDES HIS SECRETS, SO WHEN THEY COME TO
STEP ON HIS TAIL, HE RESPONDS WITH CLAWS AND ESCAPES THE TRAPS SET OUT
BY BEING AWARE, IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OR ON POINT, HOW DARE YOU SAY YOU
ARE A NGANGULERO, YOU ARE NO MORE THEN FOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAIN,
YOU WILL BE EATEN, BIG FISH EAT LITTLE FISH, STRONGER FORCE DOMINATES
WEAKER FORCE, DON'T BUY INTO THE HYPE, CHECHE BACHE IS FELT, ITS
SEEN
AND RECOGNIZED, BUENA SOMBRA SE CONOCE, THE GOOD SHADOW IS KNOWN.
CUADRILLA KONGO LAUGHS BUT IT IS NO ONES CLOWN, CARILE AS THE WIND
BLOWS SOFT AND BLOWS HARD BUT WHEN IT WHIRLS ALL IN ITS PATH IS BLOWN
AWAY, VAMO VER SI SON VERDAD !
TO BE NKISI MALONGO BACHECHE OR KINTUALA NKISI IDIAMBO IT IS NOT
LEARNED IN ONE WEEKEND OR IN ONE YEAR, IT IS LEARNED IN MANY LIFE
TIMES, DOINT BE FOOLED BY THE BOOKS AND THE ENCIMA YAHOO ITALIAN
IMPORTS OR THE PHILLY STAKES, CHEESE IS NOT GOOD FOR THE BAFIOTE OR
NKENTO SON COSA MUNDELE SIN PEOLTAS TO WALK THE PATH OF A NGANGULERO,
YOU NEED MORE THEN A CERTIFICATE OR A DIPLOMA???
THE ADVISE OF ELDERS IS PROFIT FOR THE FUTURE, RECALL AND REMEMBER AND MAYOMBE WILL SHED TEARS FOR ITS SONS AND DAUGHTERS WHO HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.
MAYOMBE WAS A GOOD THING IN GUINEA AND IT WILL BE A GOOD THING IN
NTOTO KUNANYUMA ALA BUENA O ALA MALA.
MALEMBE LEMBE MALEMBE YA Y BONSUA PITI KONGO MALONGO YAYA NDOKI MI CUADRILLA KONGO REVIENTA ENCIMA MUNDO POR QUE MI ARELE SI VALE Y MI NGANGA NO SON COBARDE!
