EKUMEKU is the state or point of equilibrium that can be attained by those who follow the Divine Plan of AMUN in whom we trust. There is only one Creator of the universe whose identity is both known and unknown because AMUN is both manifest and unmanifest. The meaning and purpose of life is EKUMEKU which can only be attained through the voluntary effort of the individual. There are four Pathways to EKUMEKU which are the Path of Ekwueme, Path of Akwunakwuna, Path of Akwunaset, and Path of Isfet. But it is only the Path of Ekwueme that has the EKUMEKU form of Knowledge, Truth, and Immortality.

The three remaining Pathways do not have the gift of choice because people are born into them. Attaining the state of EKUMEKU through the Pathway that we are born into the world of Ekwensu is almost impossible. Depending on the Location of the individual, every human spirit must overcome the Pathway that he or she is born into the world of Ekwensu through self-transformation before the person can be converted into the Path of Ekwueme. The Path of Ekwueme has the gift of choice because we are elevated to this Pathway through our own voluntary effort to overcome evil by doing good through the devotion of purpose to the supreme principle of EKUMEKU.

The Path of Ekwueme follows the Divine Plan of attaining the state of EKUMEKU because it has the form which guides the seeker, step by step, to the attainment of the state of EKUMEKU or perfection on this planet. In other words, we exist in this universe to attain the state of EKUMEKU and thereby become one-in-all with the One Creator of the universe. Therefore, the threshold of EKUMEKU provides the window of opportunity for the Ekwueme mastership of life.

The philosophy of EKUMEKU is universal because we do not have a choice as to what, why, when, where, and how we are born. We do not have a choice to be born either male or female. We do not have a choice to be born with a particular color, either black, brown, red, yellow or pink. We do not have a choice as to where we are born. We do not have a choice of being either short or tall. We do not have a choice of being born into a rich or a poor family. We do not have a choice to be born into this world of Ekwensu or not to be born into this world of Ekwensu. We do not have a choice on the first language we were taught to speak. We do not have a choice to be born into a particular ethnic or national group. We do not have a choice to be born into our different families. We do not have a choice to be born in a particular geographical landmass. We do not have a choice to be born in a particular time. We do not have a choice to be born as the Akwunakwuna, Akwunaset, or the Sethian. We do not have a choice on a lot of things in our lives because of the way we have entered into this universe of life.

But we do have a choice of whether or not we want to be reborn again. We do have a choice of whether to become an Ekwueme or to remain on the lower plane in which we are born. We do have a choice of whether to attain eternal life or eternal death. We do have a choice of whether to follow the Divine Plan of the One Creator of the universe or to remain ignorant of the purpose of life. We do have a choice of whether to live for something greater than ourselves or to live by the dictates of our vested interests. We do have a choice of being either co-Creators of our Life or slaves on this planet. We do have a choice of overcoming evil by doing good or to remain entangled with evil. We do have a choice of self-determination when it comes to the potentiality and possibility of being and becoming. We do have a choice of life because what we put into life is what we will get out of life. The basic philosophy of EKUMEKU is the philosophy of life because the knowledge of good and evil will result in the symbolic death of those who have overcome the vicious circle of eternal death. This symbolic death is the resurrection of the human spirit from the dead end nature of the lower plane from where the human spirit is reborn again as the Ekwueme. With the knowledge of good and evil, the Ekwueme becomes capable of overcoming evil by doing good. This makes the Ekwueme capable of giving life in order to receive everlasting life in return.

Life is a journey that is limited and also unlimited. It is limited because we are limited by the nature of our entrance into the universe. But this limited nature of the lower plane in which we are born exists as a test because the Divine Plan of life is to overcome evil by doing good. In other words, we have to overcome the limited nature of our birth through re-birth in order to apprehend the unlimited potentiality and possibility of life on the Path of Ekwueme. The state of EKUMEKU is the manifestation of the Divine Plan of Creation that can be attained by those who can overcome the evil nature of the lower plane in which we are all born. We do not have a choice as to the nature of our entrance into this planet because we are all born on the lower plane of life. However, we are given a choice by AMUN in whom we trust either to remain on the lower plane of life in which we are born or to transform ourselves from the limitations of the lower plane in order to be reborn again with the unlimited potentials that exist on the higher plane of existence. This self-transformation from the evil nature of the lower plane will elevate the human spirit on to the Path of Ekwueme from where the state of EKUMEKU can be attained step by step.

THE CREATOR IS ONE. THE ONE IS AMUN AND THE DIVINE PLAN IS EKUMEKU. THERE IS NO OTHER CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE BUT AMUN IN WHOM WE TRUST.

The Ekwensu people are living in the state of Ekwensu because they lack the knowledge of the Divine Plan of the One Creator of the universe. This state of Ekwensu is a state of antagonism, anarchy, conflict, hatred, discrimination, greed, etc. It is the state where the evils of white magic and black magic thrive in the world. This make-believe world of white magic and black magic distorts the purpose of life by encouraging the human spirit to exist in falsehood, anarchy and conflict. This state of Ekwensu is the evil nature of the lower plane of life. The profane nature of the world of Ekwensu limits the human spirit from the self-realization of its potentials because it exists to deceive the mind. The nature of the world of Ekwensu is a state of the mind which confines the human spirit to the illusions of life because it exists to deceive the mind into worshipping the temporary things of life.

At the same time, the supreme principle of EKUMEKU is a state of mind where there is harmony between the mind and matter because it exists at the point of equilibrium between MAAT and ISFET. In order to attain the state of EKUMEKU, one has to totally overcome the state of Ekwensu. It is not easy to overcome the state of Ekwensu because this is the state we are all born into the world. That is why, we will need courage and humility in order to reject ISFET and accept MAAT.

There are many layers of meaning to the word EKUMEKU. But the etymological root of the word "ekwunokwu" from where it originates means be silent or don’t say a word in its simplest term, From here we can provide the first definition of the word EKUMEKU to be silence, stillness, don't say a word, do not preach what you cannot practice, mastership, perfection, equilibrium, harmony, peace, balance, synthesis, interdependence and oneness. In the philosophical realm, the meaning of EKUMEKU begins with the word "silence" because it means to attain the perfect harmony between every duality in life; while in the metaphysical realm, the meaning of EKUMEKU begins with the word stillness because it means to attain the supreme peace of life. In the literal sense, the meaning of EKUMEKU begins with the phrase, "do not preach what you cannot practice". In the linguistic sense, the meaning of EKUMEKU begins with the phrase, "don't say a word", and in the Ekwueme sense, the meaning of EKUMEKU begins with the words "mastership", "perfection", "equilibrium", "harmony", "peace", "balance", "synthesis", "interdependence", "oneness", etc. In the philosophical EKUMEKU, the state of "Silence" is PURE THOUGHT and it is the equilibrium of the state of perfection for the human being par excellence. This state of perfection can be conceived as the Life itself.

If there is EKUMEKU in a universe that exists in opposites, it must exist at the point of equilibrium between all opposing forces of life. The existence of EKUMEKU must be at the point of equilibrium where the contradiction between good and evil is reconciled, which is the interdependent order of existence. Thus EKUMEKU is neither totally MAAT nor totally ISFET because it is both MAAT and ISFET. Its Location positions it to be the boundless energy, force or intelligence of life. But the Location of EKUMEKU cannot mean everything unless there is an opposite point of disequilibrium with which it can be compared. This opposite point is the state of Ekwensu which is the boundless anarchy, tension, confusion, selfishness, falsehood, etc., which exist in the independent disorder of existence. This state of Ekwensu is the diametrical opposite of the potential perfection of life because it is anarchy, conflict, chaos, etc.

Because the state of EKUMEKU is the stillness or Pure Thought of life, it cannot be attained without following the form that exists as the formula to make it attainable. The biggest mistake any human spirit can make about life is to live a life in the vicious circle of eternal death. This vicious circle of eternal death is a life of non-existence. The beginning of wisdom is when we have attained a devotion of purpose to the supreme principle of EKUMEKU. It is when we begin to overcome the illusions of the lower plane which exist to deceive the human mind. It is when we have begun to gain control of the passions and desires of the flesh. It is when we have renounced the barrier of the Ekwensi personality. The beginning of wisdom is when we have discovered the revealed truth of EKUMEKU and must have begun the quest of attaining its ultimate state of perfection in this life. It is the struggle to overcome evil by doing good through the voluntary effort of the individual because it is impossible to overcome evil without the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, the mastering of the basic philosophy of EKUMEKU is the beginning of wisdom. It is the beginning of a life that is based on Knowledge, Truth, and Immortality.

If the center of the universe is EKUMEKU, it there means that we can attain the state of EKUMEKU from any location in the universe. Nevertheless, because of the evil nature of the lower plane of existence which is constantly creating illusions to deceive the mind, the attainment of the state of EKUMEKU can only be guaranteed through the Pathway of Ekwueme. This is because without being reborn again it is impossible to overcome evil by doing good. Without being elevated to the Path of Ekwueme it is almost impossible to attain tine state of EKUMEKU because the truthfulness of EKUMEKU is a process that can be attained by those who follow the Divine Plan of AMUN in whom we trust. The attainment of the state of EKUMEKU becomes relatively easier when we are elevated through self-transformation and conversion to the Path of Ekwueme. The Pathway of Ekwueme admits the initiated into the threshold of EKUMEKU which has the form necessary for the attainment of the state of EKUMEKU.

There are three degrees or Paths in the Pathway of Ekwueme, which are the degrees of Ekwueme, Odozi Obodo and Ochichi that can be attained within a life span. Those who have attained the degree of Ochichi in their life time are the human embodiment of EKUMEKU because they have attained the salvation of their individual Chi. The salvation of the Chi is the ultimate knowledge of self because its attainment results in the Chineke Consciousness. It is the purification of human consciousness which elevates the individual Chi to the ultimate state of EKUMEKU.

The state of EKUMEKU is the purpose of life because those who have attained it will live everlasting life as they become one with AMUN in whom we trust. This state of Chineke Consciousness is the ultimate meaning of existence because those who have attained it will become the link between the spiritual realm and the material realm. The attainment of the state of EKUMEKU is the ultimate consciousness of the infinite, silence or stillness because it is the state where the mind is in harmony with matter. This state of consciousness is almost impossible to be attained without following the Divine Plan of AMUN in whom we trust. As the followers of the Divine Plan, we are exposed to the revealed truth of the HOLY ANKHUWA and are given the platform necessary to attain its outer and inner principles of life. The rebirth or self-transformation of the human spirit from the lower plane of existence is almost impossible to be attained without the obedience and freedom of consciousness EKUMEKU demands from everyone. Therefore the meaning of self-transformation is a devotion of purpose to the supreme principle of EKUMEKU. This devotion of purpose cannot be attained easily without cultivating the virtue of controlling thought and action. The control of thought and the control of action can be attained through the reading and recitation of the HOLY ANKHUWA and also by applying the principles of EKUMEKU in one's life in order to overcome evil by doing good.

The basic philosophy of EKUMEKU has its foundation on the knowledge of self which cannot exist without the knowledge of the enemy. Because the knowledge of self is the foundation of a good life on this Planet, knowledge is the key to the inner chamber of HAREMAKHET; while EKUMEKU is the master key to the future of this Planet; and the future itself belongs to the Ekwuemes. The philosophy of EKUMEKU was not born in a vacuum. Every philosophy has an origin in time and space. The philosophy of EKUMEKU is a new philosophy that has laid a solid foundation for the new civilization of EKUMEKU. This philosophy is the new synthesis that came into existence as a result of the evil nature of white magic; which is the extreme materialistic tendency that encourages the abuse of human morality and the consequent misapplications of the universal principles of life. But this basic philosophy is not an end in itself. It is instead the beginning of a new journey in the mastership of life. Because EKUMEKU is on a higher state of mind, the knowledge of the universal principles of EKUMEKU will be difficult for those who have not yet captured the truth that the mission of EKUMEKU is divine.
