BAILEY'S SCHEMAS IN AFRICAN TRADITION Volume 72

ABOUT THE BOOK Schemas are the most common ways all people think. They were originated by Primitive Africans for usage in their Barter system to deal with the Quantitative/Qualitative exchanges between buyer and seller. They are likened to Dimensions, with rays resembling those of a Star's radiations in all directions. A Dimension consists of an association or set of conditions in the form of non-mathematically derived Thought Structures. Out of any Schema's ray(s)-whether based in Truth or in intentional or unintentional Distortions of Reality, Surreality, Fantasy--one can fashion an off-spring appropriate for application to a particular Setting/Situation. Very Ancient Africans used Truth Schemas in forms of Qualitative Algebra in order to gain Metaphysical Icon Images for purposes of exploring Spiritual realms and their ingredients. From resultant insights, they could infer Circumstantial happenings inside Spiritual realms. That, along with Astro-Mathematical studies of the Sky, verified wondrous cycles of Celestial Bodies--and their ever greater, more majestic, and infinitely widening mathematical cycles. Hence, African Sages inferred Esoteric (hidden) and Observable Laws from these discoveries. These pertained to such Cosmic Mathematics as to explain Cosmic Creations + Nature's Creatures reproductive processes. Both gave them abilities to understand the totality and integrational relationships of many Divine Laws. From such expanded knowledge of Divine Laws arose "Sacred Geometry." It seemingly was magical in putting all matched parts together in order to take advantage of their mystical powers' for dealing with the Cosmic Spirit's Essence and its corresponding hidden Wisdom of humans Souls' Cosmic Laws. This gave African Sages insights into how to evoke potent psychic forces of great magnitude to manipulate Divine Laws. When Schemas were borrowed into cultures outside Africa, they were given numberless Secular usages. Examples include: ways to produce a Plan, an Outline, a Mental Structure, a Framework, a Program, or whatever is to serve as a guide for think, feel, say, do actions. Examples are in such forms as Linguistic Schemas for understanding a sentence; a Cultural Schema for interpreting a Myth; a Prehensile Scheme for a child to learn how to grasp an object; a "Means-End" Schema for solving Rational problems/issues. Or, Schemas assist in interpreting Sensations, Information, Spiritual ingredients on the way to making Choices, Decisions, Solutions. The Ignorant, Fools, the Stupid, Con-Artists, Enemies, the Wicked use variations off publicly familiar Distortions of Reality, Surreality, Fantasy in "SEEMS" right deceptions so as to gain unfair advantages and put those who believe them at unfair Disadvantages.
