The Seventh Shrine: Meditations on the African Spiritual
Journey: From the Middle Passage to the Mountaintop
Sinopsis :
When I navigate the currents of the soul, I find myself within
my ancestral pool. I find myself swimming in their grief, and the
longing during the great event and initiation called the Middle
Passage. I find myself in their collective soul journey from a
place of homeland to a dream of the Promised Land. This
book is a telling of the soul striving of people of African
heritage into the American experience of creating a
community&#8213acommunity created for the possibilities of
new covenants within the larger collective sphere of human
life.The work to which I have dedicated my life is to attend to

the ancestral shrines. Ancestral shrines are co-creative
imaginative influences on how I see the world. They serve to
enhance the human encounters that form relationships and
communities within which I work and live. The primary
emphasis of my work is to support the recovery of the
individual&#8217capacity to stand in openness for the higher
purpose of one&#8217own life. My work is in service to the
creative freedom of others. This book reveals through the
spiritual tradition of African Gnosis my identification with the
impulses of particular individuals in the history of the African
experience in America. Their lives and work reveal the spiritual
frameworks that have guided me to my understanding of the
promise of the Spirit of America. This book navigates the flow
of the American stream from sovereignty to slavery to service
of the higher mandate of the collective soul quest for a
covenant of prosperity into which human beings can live.The
Spirit of America is born in this service.
