On today’s Heart of Mind we feature the teachings of the late Naba Lamoussa Morodenibig, a Gourmantche from Fada N'Gourma, a city East of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, began his initiations when he was eight years old. As a young boy, Naba was able to attend European schools at the same time he was progressing through Traditional Education and Spiritual Initiations. As he grew, Naba continued his education, and not only did he attend the University, but he also excelled in his traditional and spiritual education, eventually surpassing the level of his teachers to become one of the most knowledgeable Spiritual Masters of the Dogon people.

The spiritual initiations taught in the Gourmantche/Dogon tribe are part of what modern anthropologists call the "secret societies" and "mystery schools". This spiritual knowledge is acquired only through very intense and challenging initiations and teachings that must be kept secret among the initiated. The initiations are the direct knowledge from the schools of Memphis and Thebes, and have been passed from generation to generation for millennia. Master Naba was seen throughout Merita(Traditional Africa) as one of the greatest Masters of this knowledge, and he was the first Authentic Master who was elected by his elders to bring this knowledge to the outside world.
Master Naba visited over 127 countries and his presence was requested in many temples and holy places all over the world. Master Naba spoke thirteen languages, including English, French and German, and was a Master of "Egyptology" and Hieroglyphics. As a founder of the modern M'TAM (study of Earth energies) schools, he established himself as one of the greatest Masters of these techniques.
Master Naba was renowned worldwide as a Spiritual Master. He was a Traditional Priest, Master, and Healer. Additionally, Master Naba was a parapsychologist, metaphysician, and cultural activist. He researched and re-established the Sidereal Calendar (the only calendar that is astronomically correct and not based on social or religious events or beliefs), the Great Book of Divine Ordinances (the translation of the original papyri known as Nw, Nbsni, and Insa, which present the original seventy-seven commandments before Christianity) and the Mandala of Denderah (the original map of the sky, with the original constellations), among many other works.
As a writer, Master Naba published over 25 books in many countries. He wrote poetry and fiction as well as books and articles on M'TAM, culture, and spirituality. He founded Bayuali Magazine, an esoteric magazine featuring Earth Energy Readings, Choices Magazine, and The Rising Firefly Magazine. He founded KHEPRA, a non-profit organization of Kemetic cultural workers, researchers, and activists. Master Naba was the inspiration for the founding of The Earth Center of Maanu, a non-profit organization in the United States teaching M'TAM techniques and principles and promoting traditional Kemetic spirituality, values, and culture.
As a healer, Naba is the founder and president of ANKHKASTA, an organization of Kemetic priests and healers. The Ankhkasta team works to introduce and promote traditional Kemetic herbal remedies for all of today's illnesses, conditions, and spiritual problems or concerns. These remedies are part of the knowledge of the initiation schools and are part of a traditional, esoteric knowledge.
Contrary to popular belief, the Dogons are not just a small tribe that lives in Mali; Dogons are composed of many different bloodlines that represent the elite of the Pharaonic society. Dogon bloodlines include the families of: Naba (healers/priests), Woba (farmers), Yonlis (guardians of the kingship), Kediou (builders), Mende (blacksmiths), etc. These bloodlines can be found in tribes such as Gourmantche, Chibisi, Dogomba, Farafara, Sonike, Germa, etc. The Dogons once lived in the Nile Valley, but migrated inland during the invasion around 400 BC. Today, the Dogons can be found living by the bend in the Niger River.
The name "Dogon" comes from the word "dogou", which means land. The Dogons are considered the "landlords" of Africa and their culture aims at preserving the Earth and everything that lives on it. The Dogon culture has remained uninterrupted since the time of the Pharaohs. The Dogons can be seen as Kemetic people who, during the periods of invasion, migrated so that their culture and spirituality could be kept pure. Due largely to the facts that the Dogon culture now resides in a land-locked area and that the Dogon possess deep spiritual knowledge, the culture has been preserved from colonial interruptions and influence. This cultural and spiritual preservation also is the result of very strong and strict rules of initiation (the mode by which initiation knowledge is passed from generation to generation.)
