Now, let's get communicating.

Now, let's get communicating with my special guest today, Reginald Martin.

He is a metaphysician, creator of KometaPhysics.

He will share with us practical tools that he uses in order to help leaders and everyone else reconstruct their inner architecture.

Mr.

Martin is here to talk to us about how to communicate at a soul level, amongst other things.

And before I go any further, please help me welcome him to the show.

Hi, Reginald.

Hi, Roberta.

Nice to be here.

I'm really, really excited to talk to you today.

I'm excited that you're here.

Thank you so much.

Please introduce yourself to our listeners.

Yeah.

Again, I'm Reginald Martin, and I am the creator of Metaphysics and is about the idea of getting and tapping into metaphysical concepts and ideas that basically build our confidence and build our ability to recognize that we are souls having a human experience.

And that as souls having a human experience, we are here on the earth plane to enjoy and create life abundantly, okay, and create life on our terms.

And a lot of times society has taught us in many different ways that to even want and desire abundance or anything good for ourselves, that there is something negative about that.

And that's not how the ancient Cometians and ancient Africans, that's not how they taught these ideas.

So I want to change that and reclaim the ancient teachings that basically spread from ancient Africa throughout the world and did become our religions that were ended up distorting a lot of the ideas and the foundation of a lot of other spiritual systems in the world as people fanned out over the world.

I'm intrigued by the fact that you started ancient Africa as a South African, and despite being on the continent, we were colonized as well.

But we know that our ancestors had their own religion before Christianity came.

I think when I was in America, they even liked some of those ideas to how the Native Americans used to practice spirituality.

If you can just start us off, just a snippet of how did you come across this knowledge and what it means?

Okay, great question too.

And so I grew up Christian, but I had a lot of questions early on that I just didn't agree with.

So I ended up leaving Christianity and walking away from that belief system.

But I still wanted a spiritual connection.

I still crave that.

And I think most of us do, but we don't always recognize what that might be.

So I was asked to be a guest speaker at a spiritual center for a friend of mine, and it happened to be for Black History Month here in the United States, which I'm not necessarily a fan of.

And the reason is that a lot of times they want to act as if our history as Black Americans started at slavery and then they moved forward.

And I didn't want to do that.

So when we started talking about spirituality, I wanted to find out about my ancestral heritage and what was believed before Christianity, and the religions basically colonized our thinking, took away a lot of our spiritual heritage.

When I started studying it, at first, I was really frustrated because I was looking for stuff about spirituality, but I kept finding people who would talk about spirituality, talk about what my African ancestors believed, but they never gave any practical knowledge or information about it.

You know, in other words, they talk about it, but not how to be about it, not how to live it and what that meant.

That was very, very frustrating.

But I had already been studying metaphysics for a number of years because of the secret and just different ideas that surrounded that.

And in the secret, they alluded to the Greeks having the secret.

So I knew that the Greeks were taught by the ancient Africans or ancient Egyptians.

So that was my first clue, was that the secret might be something African, you know, or at least Egyptian, because I knew who taught the Greeks.

So I started to kind of backtrack, and I started finding books that would talk about the Egyptian beliefs.

And then lo and behold, I started finding ideas that connected to the law of attraction.

And one of those was the idea of Ma'at.

And the idea of Ma'at is truth, balance, and reciprocity.

Well, each one of those words are actually some deep metaphysical principles within that system of thinking.

So I connected the law of attraction back to ancient Africa.

And then I started studying a little bit more.

Once I learned how the symbolic system work, then all of a sudden, I connected my ancient Christian religion back to ancient Africa.

Well, I ended up connecting the dots to two systems, one that I was involved in with the law of attraction, and one that I had been within Christianity.

And I realized that Christianity actually ended up changing a lot of these ancient ideas and created the religion and separated it, and then really gave it back to Africa and the world as Christianity.

So they took ancient concepts that were all over.

These were like African beliefs just all over the continent, but they were distorted through religion, and then just given back to the world and to the continent as a religion, that really undermining our self-esteem, our confidence, and even our ability to believe that we could create something in this world ourselves.

So even the efficacy that we could even do it.

So that was kind of my journey into it.

A lot of people might think that it's adversarial to Christianity, but it's not adversarial to Christianity.

It's more adversarial to the dogmatic beliefs of Christianity.

I was about to ask you if the pushback, especially from our community, how it has been because even here being in South Africa, so you have those of us in our culture, we still practice a form of cultural spirituality before Christianity came.

And then you have this debate of, do I choose one or the other?

Do I do both?

And if I do both, am I a believer in Christ?

Does he see my culture as demonic, as they say?

And so you still have that debate today among Africans.

Yes.

I have felt that because I spent a lot of time building my YouTube channel, and actually South Africans were some of the first groups of people that really started flocking to my channel, okay?

They really embraced it a lot earlier than others in the African diaspora.

But as time went on, more and more did.

But I do know and recognize that that duality, and really the African diaspora that deal with that because studies have shown, especially like here in the United States, that the African diaspora are still some of the most religious people on the planet.

Yes.

Okay?

They still hold to it.

And I like to separate religion and spirituality because what I boiled it down to is that religion is about an external focus and belief that the power of God is somehow outside of you.

Yes.

If you know, are you familiar with what was preached in the 70s, Reverend Ike?

Yes.

He got a lot of pushback before saying, God, don't worry about the God in the sky, the God in you, the one within you.

Yes.

Exactly.

And that sounded so far-fetched back then.

I don't know how it's received today.

No.

Well, see, that's what people are waking up to because what's happening now is that Christianity, the pews are starting to empty.

You know, people are leaving on Sunday because they don't want to deal with those dogmatic beliefs and really limiting beliefs.

I call it mental malware for our mental operating system.

For you to have to believe that you are a born sinner, you're broken, that you're unworthy, that you're a wretch.

All of these things that you're told on Sunday, that's mental malware.

They have to invent that disease, that mental malware, in order to institute their cure, which is the Savior, you know?

Of course.

So one cannot be without the other.

I would ask most people if my mother is a Christian and I love her dearly.

They would love them.

Yeah.

And my family is, you know, so a lot of them are.

But what I talk about is how we can get rid of that mental malware program.

Because growing up, one of the questions I had was, why is it that we can look around the world and see people of the African diaspora living in poverty?

Mostly, yes, compared to other groups at least.

And the thing about it is, because you talk about identity and resurrection, which we'll come to in more detail.

And the thing about it is, you know how they talk about representation and they say, if you've only seen white people on TV, and now you see the first black president, at least a black parent can say to a child, hey, it's possible, that whole representation idea.

When it comes to spirituality, you know, most Asian countries, the Buddhist, Buddha was the one who enlightened them.

Most Middle Eastern countries have Allah.

And then you have Christianity, and some even here in the African continent will ask, why is it that even though it's Middle Eastern, but the pictures and the paintings paint a white guy?

So we don't have our own representation when it comes to a spiritual conduit to God, to the creator of the universe.

Yes.

Yes.

And to me, that is one of the most diabolical aspects of what Christianity did, to paint the idea that God, the creator of the universe, if it comes down into humanity, it's going to choose one particular race to come.

That in itself is unfathomable to me.

Why would it choose one particular race?

And that's, of course, what we've been taught.

And not to get into pointing fingers, the idea that there is racism that I have dealt with, that you probably have dealt with.

I'm not the victim.

As a soul, what I talk about is, we're all gods and goddesses in training, okay?

We are seeds of the creator learning how to create.

And the trials and tribulations that we go through are like going into a gym and lifting weights.

So you build muscle, and then from the pain, your muscles end up growing.

As souls, that's how we build our wisdom, is through the pain and the hardships that we overcome as gods and goddesses in training, what do we do to overcome that?

Yes, this is not a jab at Christianity or any groups, but it's a long overdue conversation, especially among Africans in the diaspora, because back to going to church every Sunday, and you told, I'm unworthy, I fall short, because that's the narrative, so that you keep needing more.

Yes.

So if that's the wiring you get on a regular basis, and then you go to a seminar teaching you how to manifest with the law of attraction, do you see how contradictory these are?

Bingo.

You hit it, Roberta.

People don't realize that if you are in that frame of, I am unworthy, I am broken, how do you manifest from that frame?

Because if you're going to think you're unworthy to even get what you manifest, it becomes a contradiction, and it becomes a contradiction mentally, but it also becomes one vibrationally.

And that's really where the solution is.

When you understand the idea that the whole universe is made from energy, that is aware, that vibrates.

In ancient times, they called that idea spirit.

Everything is made out of spirit.

In ancient Egypt, they said in the beginning was Ba, and in the end is Ba.

Our equivalent idea is just everything is energy.

But that energy has a frequency.

The frequency forms the different forms of whatever is made out of that energy.

We are a particular vibrational construct as human beings.

But within us, that vibrational construct, we have a vibrational tone that is projected out of us.

And this is coming from the idea of what Ma'at is and the law of reciprocity, of thoughts become things.

Okay.

Our inner thoughts and beliefs are what are projected as life.

You are the creator of your reality, whether it is from a conscious perspective or unconscious one.

Your life is the projection of your inner beliefs.

And this is something that I teach in my course, that life is feedback.

That's why considering ourselves as victims, then we can only hope the victimizer can change.

And in that sense, you're waiting for something out there to change rather than you.

That's the problem that Christianity projected on us as well.

We are told that God and the power to do anything, we have to ask for that, that it's outside of us.

And that if we don't live right, then God will forsake us.

That is a really dangerous perspective to live from.

And we see the result of that a lot of times in the African diaspora.

I know I grew up in poverty.

I had to change my mindset to get out of poverty.

Once I changed my mindset, I changed my life.

It's all connected to how we believe about ourselves, and then looking at life as saying, okay, if you don't like this part of your life, then there is some belief that you need to root out, to change so that that part of your life can change.

That's a part of understanding the soul level communication.

The soul is always communicating with you.

As the universe being an energy field, we are contained inside the soul.

The soul is not inside us.

We are the projection of the soul into this physical plane.

One way you can think about it is, have you ever seen the Russian nesting dolls where it's one doll inside the other?

Yes, I have quite a few friends in the homes that have that.

That is how you can think about it.

It's like God is the big doll, then you got the universe, then you got whatever other levels that you have, but it's like dolls inside a doll inside a doll.

You get to a soul, and then we are inside the soul.

So we are inside an energetic field, and that energetic field has a communication system that communicates to us from the soul into the physical.

And seeing that you get rewired, sometimes it's not even going to church every Sunday and get rewired the way we've spoken, but like you said, in your environment, you can get programmed a certain way, thinking your life is supposed to be a certain way because you come from this neighborhood.

How do you see possibility when physically you don't have evidence of that?

Yes.

The answer to that is understanding the idea of the really, the ancient African idea of faith.

Will you raise Christian Roberta?

We will raise Christian, yes.

So then you know then that the idea of faith was just that you were supposed to believe and not question.

You were supposed to believe what you were told and then accept it because you couldn't confirm it in any kind of way, so you were just supposed to accept it.

That's not faith.

That's mind control.

Or as Bill Maher says, the complete and utter forsaking of critical thinking.

Yeah, exactly.

You're forced to leave your brain at the door when you walk into the church.

And if you start to question, then your faith is in question.

So you get into this loop of either, I have faith and just believe, or if I question, then something is wrong with me.

They call it in my mom's church, you are apostate, which means you are running away from the presence of God.

There you go.

There you go.

But from an ancient African perspective, faith was a manifesting tool.

What faith was, was to hold a vibration before something manifested into your reality.

So everything that is possible exists.

If you can imagine it in your mind, that means you just tapped from your imagination.

That was not a hallucination.

That was you tapping into another dimension.

That's part of your soul level operating system.

If you can envision it, then you can manifest it.

But you have to hold the vibration until all the tools and things that you need to get to make that manifestation occur.

Until you get the books, you get the knowledge, maybe you go to the school, maybe you see a video, whatever it might be, all those things that you need to attract to make that vision happen, you have to be able to hold that vibration of it already happening.

And once you hold that vibration, then it can manifest into reality.

Because you think about it, there is nothing that mankind has created on this planet that was not in the mind first.

It always starts there.

Yeah.

It only starts in the mind.

It only starts with some crazy idea.

Somebody thinking, me being in South Africa, will speak to someone overseas through a camera.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's wild.

I used to watch a TV show called Star Trek.

Yeah.

Do you remember the tricorder, tricorders that they had?

Yeah.

What is that like today?

What do we have that mimic that same thing?

Our cell phones.

We can flip our cell phone.

So it was in somebody's vision first, and then now it's something that we actually use.

So anything that we can envision, we can make happen, but we have to believe that inside ourselves, that we can.

I used to always question, why is it that us of the African diaspora, where the last statistic I saw that there's over 400 million of the African diaspora worldwide that are living in poverty.

My question was, why is that?

Why supremacy and racism has had a hand in that?

But ultimately, there are other civilizations that are not white, that still have their own culture, their own havens, so to speak.

Their own identity.

I was in South Korea.

I taught English there.

Not only did I discover that they do the same thing of remembering their ancestors during current Thanksgiving in September, but more than anything, when I learned about the history after the Korean War, that they literally had to start from scratch.

So somebody explained it to me this way.

At that time, right after the war, South Korea was under the column in the United Nations.

You have countries that need aid and countries that give aid.

South Korea was in one of the countries that need aid, was in that column.

But now they have shifted into the opposite column, which is countries that give aid.

However, we've had African countries out of the 54, where you have countries who gained independence, even from colonization, around the same time that South Korea did after the war.

But they are still in the countries that need aid column.

Yes.

Yes.

And have some of the greatest resources on the planet.

That I use for literally the cell phone computer.

All the parts here were sourced from the African continent.

So what is it that can make a shift to also some of most of us, at least out of the 54 countries, to be listed under the countries that give aid, because we have made that type of progress like South Korea has.

Yes.

And Roberta, I would say the underlying issue is the belief that we're broken, that something is wrong.

Because if you see the images about us on TV, they're usually not something that is positive.

That's changing a little, but it's still for the most part.

When we see images of Africa, we see people in poverty.

And we know that that's not the case for all of Africa.

I want to say with my travels, because everybody, when they see those images, then they think, oh, you grew up on my UNICEF dollars that I donated.

And I think you are insulting my dad and a hundred millions, even billions of African fathers who take care of their families, who never touched anybody's UNICEF dollar.

But that's an image that is globally the representation of poverty, or African orphans, and they think, oh, you're from South Africa.

You must have been one of them growing up.

Right.

And it's wild.

But the thing is, is that if we, as the diaspora, we ingest that idea that we're broken, universal law says, if you believe you're broken, then you can't build something outside of you.

Your beliefs are going to be reflected as your life.

And if you believe you're broken, then you cannot build.

Again, it's about us having the ability to know that we are creators, that we are souls having a human experience with the ability to create.

We can manifest whatever we desire, but we have to have that faith in between where we are and what our desire is.

We have to be able to hold that vibration.

And that takes belief in yourself.

That takes belief in your abilities.

That takes confidence that you can get it done.

For me, that's what Kometa Physics does, is it goes back and reclaims the ancient teachings that we are gods, because that's what our ancestors believed.

Yeah.

They didn't believe it.

That's what they knew.

If there was a drought, my ancestors would speak to the universe and the rain would come and the crops will grow.

That's what we were taught by my grandma, that before Christianity, that's what our ancestors used to believe that.

Because it's all connected.

Yeah.

We, our nature, expressed.

The way that the ancient Egyptians looked at it was like the stars, the planets is one of the reasons why divination works, why astrology works.

Like if something is an analysis, it's the ability to be able to break something down in detail, okay?

That's what an analysis is.

So in their estimation, the stars and the planets are the analysis of our inner being.

So the position that they're in that creates the vibrational, the musical spheres is what there's a lot of times that they talk about.

But that vibration when we were born, that's the signature that we're born with.

It's all connected to us because it's the projection of who we are into the universe.

If the universe is not out there, it's actually in us.

So having this knowledge, then how do you teach the next person?

You talk about identity resurrection.

How do you shift their identity so that their self-image, how they see themselves is through these rather than what they've been programmed?

That is a beautiful question and powerful.

I talk about Christianity because that's what I grew up with.

If that is a whole frame, if you've been taught that you are a born sinner, then you've already framed your whole idea and that is an identity.

And a lot of times what happens is people start to deconstruct.

But they deconstruct by asking the questions that we didn't want to ask at first, that mom and them said, you know, don't ask that, you know.

But people stay stuck there.

So you deconstruct and usually people stay in this limbo state where their whole world view has been shattered.

Because before Christianity had those answers for us.

They told us what to think, how to think.

And now that world view is gone.

And it's like, what do I do next?

What ancient metaphysics does is it helps you to reconstruct.

So you're no longer, I'm a born sinner.

You start with the foundation, I'm born divine.

That's different.

I'll use an analogy.

Tell me which one makes more sense.

So Christianity teachers taught us that God said, let there be light, created the world, blah, blah, blah.

There was something outside of itself.

The ancient African way of thinking about it was that God is an ocean.

You use God or the level of consciousness as an ocean.

An ocean is a multitude of drops.

We are drops in that ocean.

So in that sense, then we are the same stuff as the creator, just not the same magnitude.

So we are drops in the ocean, but the ocean is in every drop.

The way Christianity puts it, somehow the ocean created something, and we're different than the ocean.

We're sinners, we're broken, we're blah, blah, blah.

It's that separation.

They brought separation when we were all one with everything.

So I'm Zulu.

And in my culture, in our vocabulary, we don't have the word stranger because we believe we're all connected.

We never had crime because you couldn't hurt another person.

You're literally hurting yourself to the point where if somebody asks you and says, what's a stranger in Zulu, you explain it in a sentence and say somebody that you don't know.

But it never existed in our culture and our vocabulary because there's no separation between you and the next person.

Yes, I love that.

And see, even right there, you're talking about a world view that is completely different than what Christianity taught us.

Okay?

But we accepted Christianity and threw our world view out.

In a lot of cases, those world views, if you go outside of any other spiritual system, actually, Buddhism is connected to the ancient word of Pitta.

So Buddha Pitta.

Okay?

But they'll have those same ideas that you're talking about, that everything is connected.

Saying that we are gods, that was not an arrogant statement.

It's just recognition of, for them, the ancient spiritual science, that everything comes from one source, where all that light or spark of the creator in human form.

It's very important, this knowledge, because I think even though people learn and go to seminars like yours, but there's just something that's not connecting.

Yes.

It's just that missing link, because then they go back to those teachings again.

And then there's a bit of confusion.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Sometimes it just doesn't make sense.

Yeah.

And if you deconstruct it, and you're searching for something and it doesn't make sense, you're always going to go back to what was comfortable.

That's right.

And unfortunately, a lot of people will call themselves chamedic or African spirituality, but all they do is repackage religion.

They practice the same type of separation ideas that God is outside of.

They do the same stuff as religion.

They do some rituals, burning some candles, or setting up some tables or whatever.

But again, it's the stuff that's all outside of you.

All they're doing is practicing religion again.

Just put a new cover over it.

Wearing a different pair of pants.

Exactly.

But when you really get down to the essence of these ancient African teachings, well, Berter, you recognize yourself as a god, and you are a seed.

You are an incipient god or goddess that is learning your power to create.

That's the essence of the ancient African teachings.

You can go over anywhere in the continent, okay, whether it's Ifa, Vauden system, whether it's in Mali in West Africa, these same ideas were all over Africa.

So I'm sure they just over thousands of years, everybody exchanged these ideas, but they just made sense, not only logically, but intuitively in the heart.

You have to connect both.

Even like the Medu-Netur, okay, is what the ancient Africans called it, which was the word of God.

The Greeks called it the hieroglyphs, okay?

What we know as the Egyptian hieroglyphs.

That was actually-

That's what we were taught is how writing started, Egyptian hieroglyphics.

But hieroglyphics is not writing.

The hieroglyphics are ideas.

Oh.

So it's not a word, because that's something, again, that's something Western.

So they watered it down to just saying, oh, this is how writing started.

It started with the Egyptians, with hieroglyphics.

Yeah.

But they weren't writing in the sense of what we do today.

These symbols represented, the metunetur, represented the ideas that it was the words of God.

And the way that they looked at that, have you ever heard the term heka?

No.

Okay.

So, there is an ancient metunetur, in comedic terms, called heka.

And heka was the idea of something that created the universe.

It was the universe before the universe was created.

It was the source or the force that kicked off everything.

So, heka is imbued in everything and everybody.

So, in Christianity, that same idea became the word or the logos.

That's what they translated it to, the Greek logos.

In other words, John 1.1.

In the beginning was the word, the word, yes, that idea.

That is a reference to the ancient concept of heka.

Right.

Well, that concept was also in Ifa, which was Ashe.

In Mali, it was Nyamama.

See, those are all things that we are not familiar with.

But just one last thought, Reginald.

What is the one thing you can live with our listeners when they listen to this and they think, I want to resurrect my identity.

I want to see myself in a different light.

What's the one piece of advice in 30 seconds you can give to them?

I will say the one thing is to learn to accept your own inner guidance, and you live life on your terms.

Don't follow the rules that everybody else has told you that you should.

You become the standard for your own life.

Live life on your terms.

Live life on your terms.

So it's a wisdom from Reginald Martin, the meta-physician, creator of CometaPhysics, who helps us reconstruct our inner architecture.
