The Novena

The Novena.

The Novena, or its Anti-thesis really (and as with speak of whom those in 'Nairo' truly are, and on a daily basis too, and when simply trudging along, and no longer do believe in just about anything too).

British Time

British Time.

Many have heard of British Time {and especially, those that do live in Nairobi and as a whole too that is}. A concept of everyday life in all, that most in all again, have come in all too even, to heavily dread actually {and as with hoping that, the Weekend in all, is actually just around the corner} {or at the very least, Thursday evening actually}. In many ways, a way of thinking of everyday time, that does divide the daily hours in all, and in the following manner: morning, midday, afternoon, evening, night and finally midnight. In Kenya as a whole though, this way of conceptualizing Time (and as with everyday activity or daily occurrences even), has come to be envisioned in all, and around Teenage/Children Schooling that is {that in all, most in Nairobi and as a whole, do think of Time in itself, and as including even, holding a party perhaps, and as based around, the Schooling activity, and of Teenagers and Children too that is} {and as with this mentality even, affecting Commerce in all, and in a Nairobi too, lacking Cultural finesse that is, and as in furtherly stating that, the end result has been a way of life in Nairobi today, heavily geared in all, and around mindsets and mentalities too, that do in all again, actually factor in, not only Teenage and Child life in all, and as seen around one too, but in all again, ones very own Teenage and Child life too that is (and as with self-esteem issues faced back then that is)}.

Compare this perhaps, and to a place like Calgary in Canada, and where everyday life, has very much come to be envisioned around Time in all again, and as based around University Education {that in all, Calgary and as a City too, does in all ways even, work around its Universities and Colleges even, and in many ways too, giving birth to a way of life, perhaps similar in all (and as with keeping time too that is), and as that seen, in a Show and such as Friends for instance} {and with many a person who has ever lived in Calgary, will memorably in all too even, remember it as such actually}.

I on the otherhand, upon returning to Kenya, Nairobi, and after a sojourn in all, and in the West too perhaps, did find myself, wishing in many a way, to make it to the Middle East, and as with my knowing that, they still very much did keep time (everyday time that is), and in a manner too, heavily based around Muslim life and Prayers actually {or what they do call Salaah ('Five Pillars' entry)}. A way of life in all again, very much in touch with the past, and as with my believing even, that djinns in all, were still very much to be seen, and just around the corner too, and in the Middle East too actually.

You do the have Japan on the otherhand, and where Time today very much stringent, it in all ways even, and during its developing Years {Electricity and Popular Geisha Japan}, did actually abide to a way of living, and as heavily based around Health based practises that is {and at the very least too, all this did make for a Japan, with rather healthy people in all, but in many ways truly even (and as with martial arts practises perhaps), a Japan too, made up of ready made problem solvers that is}.

I do remember though, that while growing up, there did exist a kind of Time in all (everyday time), that was not truly British. It in many ways did consist of keeping time, and as heavily base around TV programming, Radio programming and even the eating of Breakfast, Lunch and Supper that is {but talk too, and of a surprise snack here and there}. Luckily for me, I was indoctrinated in this kind of time, and while at 'Karen C Primary School' too, and thankfully in many a way, did not develop psychological issues perhaps, that those who do grow up in British Time too, do somewhat seem to develop {a fearful approach that is, and to just about anything too actually} {in many ways truly even, Kenya, and as a properly functioning Country that is, does actually owe all its fortunes, and to this kind of Time, East African in nature too, but very much African Time actually}.

The TV Show, the Wonder Years (and with Alicia Silverstone too, making a guest appearance) {and alongside of course, Fred 'Savage'}, does actually speak of British Time, and the kind of activity and occassions too, that do in all go around it all that is, and as with speak even, of popular beliefs in all again that, this kind of time in all, is truly needed (and as with the UN too), to keep many an Economy afloat perhaps, has in all again proven to be totally moot actually, and by all accords even {meaning that, Kenya in all, actually does properly function today, around African Time (paragraph above) and as described just above too that is} {and with the UK too and in many a way that is, suffering huge National Debt/Budgeting issues, and due in all again truly, to just how things do function in all, and as based around British Time that is}.

For those in 'Nairo' though (or Anatolian Nairobi to be exact), is to ask them in all again (and as with speak of their mental/physical welfare even), to truly abandon British Time in all, as it is very well known too that, this kind of Time in all, British Time, is the very main reason too, most in Nairobi, actually do truly hate the place that is {alot of unhappy Child and Teenage issues brewing all over}. Instead (and as with this guaranteed to work even), is to recommended in all again that, the keeping of time actually (and as with it informal even), highly based around the Novena (everyday prayers to the Saints and Marian figures), and as with furtherly stating that, there is absolutely no good way at all, of keeping Time in Nairobi in itself (it in many ways even, practically, a Timeless place that is). In all though, what the Novenas are all about, is prayer, and prayer too, and until all of ones issues in all again (and about life in itself), do actually disappear, or even truly dissipate that is {and as with reminding many a person in Nairobi too that, Kenya's Economy in all, is not found in Nairobi, but outside it, and that in all again, outside Nairobi in all, and alongside Kenya's Economy too, most actually do work around African Time actually}. In all though, the Novenas, and as with saying that, praying them in all, do give one far more confidence in all, than one might attain doing otherwise, and Confidence too, to live life as they might very well wish {and as with saying that, the Saints in all, are rather forgiving even, 'Religious entities' perhaps, and that in all again, issues of Sexuality in all, do not talk of celibacy, but in all ways truly even, talk of engaging in rather classy sexuality that is} {and as with this speaking even, of many a novel perhaps}. In all, and as a promise too, Confidence from reciting everyday Novenas, but intelligence too, and in the form of acute perception actually (and heavily needed in Nairobi in general), and as with this even, speaking of shortcuts in life that is {and as with praying to the Saints too that is, providing many an idea, and on just what to do, and with ones life that is (and as with saying truly that, this does speak of living life, very much like a Magician actually)} .

As a finality though, is to speak in all again, and of a kind of Time too, common in America {'Desperate Housewives' TV Show}, and that has resulted in all, in many a person, wishing to move to America that is {and speak of popularized family oriented Communities that is}. In many ways truly, TV Shows and such as 'Desperate Housewives' in all, do have one in all again, keeping Time around the Kindergarten perhaps {and as with this truly even, speaking of those who do believe in living, highly based around Home Businesses, and Self-Employment too that is}.

Orison

Orison.

This post in all, will attempt to awaken one, and of the probable possibilities in all, and as with they even said to truly define what life in Kenya, and as it said at its very best too, is all about [and as with all this even, speaking of truly pondering just where in all again, Kenya is headed, and in speak of society in Kenya too, and as now said having many a 'Fool' to it, and as wallowing in 'pity/hate' that is].

In helping understand the above better, is to first pronounce to those in 'Nairo' that, the promise of Kenya and as it currently, and as with it even said a truly uncultured place in all, and with the exception of the Government in Kenya and not Private Establishments either, and as very much attempting to promote a National Ethic in all (Link), does in all even now, speak truly and of Ukoloni that is [Link].

In all, what we are trying to get to here, is speak in all, and of just how best to live life in Kenya today, and as with it even said taking into account, speak in all even, and of whom or who in all, we are with Evolutionary Theory/Psychology, or speak even, and of Family rearing, breeding and reproduction that is [in all again, whom/who in all we are, and when we do think of life, and as said continuing or proceeding in all, and in speak of Re-incarnation too, and the troubling view in all that, and of pondering, just how many of 'us' are there, and when do think Re-Incarnation that is][in all, why plan for future Generations in all actually].

In many a way, the answer to the above, does speak in all that is, and of living life at this very moment, and as taking into account in all, future Generations that is, and that does in all even speak of something in all again, mentioned in a previous post: Link [that being 'Ori' in all].

That in all again, life in Africa (and as with Kenya, simply said in Africa too that is) [and in speak in all again, and of those who do associate Kenya, and with its said even Conventional, Diplomatic Identity that is], can be said by some, and to speak even of Psycho-Somatic/Somasis Identity in all, and as with it all even simply going along in all, and with speak of what does constitute for African Friendships, or even African Manners & Etiquette that is [and speak in all, and of African Hospitality/Humour, and its most basic sense, said rivaling that to be seen in many a part of the World that is]. What though of the African Psyche, and as speaking in all even and of the very belief that, African Myth/Mythos in all, does rival that to be seen around the World, and in referring in all even, and to the name Horus too, and as speaking in all and of Africa in Egypt too that is [and speak too in all, and of the term 'Morale' that is].

The above manners though, and of attempting to define society in Kenya or Africa too in all, has failed, and as Africa in all today, has in all become truly associated and as with regards to the above, and with the History of Slavery, Colonialism and even Apartheid too, and such that, Africans in all and as including Kenyans, are no longer believers of themselves and as simply expressed above, and other than mimic Western stereotypical behaviour in all, and in the attempt to make themselves feel good and in more or less in speak of the Present in all, and not the Future truly either.

In all though, is to now formally introduce the Spiritual Concept in all, that of 'Ori that is, very much Knowledgeable in Africa, but remains more or less relegated to the back, and as Africans in all don't think of their societies in all again, and as operating from it all that is: that unknown to most, 'Ori', simply said even Egyptian, does actually speak of Africa in Egypt, in that, Egyptian Spirituality and as said in all even truly Egyptian, does speak in all, and of not 'Ori' in itself actually (and further speak of 'Halos' too), but that in all again, and Conceptually speaking too, Egyptian Spirituality, and as associated in all even and with speak of the 'Kingdom of God' and as said Within one for instance, and speak too and of Egyptian Blood, and as said directly even connected to Egyptian Soil, but with Egyptian Genes, speaking in all even and of the Neter, while speak of the Egyptian races in all, does speak even and of the Egyptian Gods/Goddesses that is. In all, speak here and in a Mythic sense, and of the Egyptians, and in Genes too, and as said opening up in all, and to the Neter in themselves, and as with it all even speaking and of the reknowed term/Title in all that is, and of 'Pharaoh'.

In all  though, what we are trying to say here is that, 'Ori', is actually found in the very world of Egyptian Spirituality, but with it in all even defined and in its most basic/base of senses in all perhaps, and in speak of Conscience too that is [and Conscience too, and that does in all even take 'spirit possession' into account, and in speak generically even, and of Ancestral spirits, but that in all ways even, Conscience developed and as in speak of Hierarchies in society, and that does take into account, every form of consciousness to be seen, and as including speak even of Nature, Religious or Political sentiment, Family Responsibilities, Roles or Duties, but speak in all again, and of one too, and as developing a Local, Regional, Global, International, Worldly, Historic etc. consciousness in all that is]. In all, the above manner of speaking of 'Ori', found in all and in the rest of the World and as including Africa too, but believed in all even and in a Historical fashion in all, most developed in Egypt, and in speak of the 'Political' Title of 'Pharaoh' that is.

In many a way though, 'Ori', and as said African too, does speak even and of the Coptic Church in Egypt, and as with reminding one here too that, Ori in all, is believed said the most basic or innate of Intelligences, and as passed on from Parent to Child [and in the name of Reproduction too], and as compared in all and to speak of Psycho-Somatic Identity, and which does speak even of a Group Conscience in all perhaps, or speak even of the Psyche, and which is in all even said Individual in its ways that is.

In all though, 'Ori', and as said speaking of Africa in Egypt, and as with regards to speak of the Coptic Church, now does take whole new dimensions to it (and as in speak of the rise of the 'Jesus/Horus' Cult that is), and which in all now, does speak even and of 'Ori', and as truly associated and not with speak of Intellect or Intuition either, but in many a way truly, and in speak of Access that is [that in all, it does even speak of the phrase in all perhaps, 'Modus Operandi', and as associated in all again, and not with one and as said Intuitive that is, but in all ways even, and with one and as truly Pondering many a thing, and in speak of Intellectualism in itself, and as going along in all and with the moment / 'spur of the moment' too that is].

However though, 'Ori', and as now truly becoming a core part in all, and of Worship and in the Egyptian Coptic Church that is, and Worship too, and as finding its way, and in the Roman World for instance, and in speak too of Roman Christianity that is, and that does in all even speak of the Beatitudes for instance [that in many a way in all, just about everything around one, can be said interpreted, and in a Positive manner too, and such that, Positivism/'Joy' and in Time too, does become ones constant Reality that is]. In Africa though, and in speak of Horus and the so termed in all even 'Eye of Horus' too, one does find what some do call the Iponri / 'Higher Self', and as found in Nigerian Religious Belief in all, and as said truly even to speak of Awareness in itself, and as said in all even perhaps, countering in many a way, Group Awareness that is][another view in all, does associate Iponri, and with speak of Escapism, or speak even of incessant Daydreaming for instance].

In all, the above manners of defining 'Ori', can be said somewhat in all, a failure perhaps, and in Kenyan society too [and as in attempting to tell one that, Kenyan society is believed highly problematic, but with it all too, widely accepted in all, and in speak and of its having better Infrastructure, and than most of Africa too that is]. In all, the very belief here that, 'Ori' in Kenya, is perhaps in all again, best envisioned and in speak of Orison that is (Link), and as with it all even said to refer and to the 'saying' in all, 'Laughter is the best Medicine', but speak in all again and of the Novena too for instance, and in many a way too, speak in all and of a society and just where in all again, Guidance, is said of prime consideration in all even, and in speak even of Access and in Kenya today, and as said speaking of Corruption, Bribery, Indecency or even speak of Hatred/Anger/Animosity, and as said even perpetual in its ways/manners that is [and further speak too in all, and of the very belief here that, Kenya's Slum Dwellings or Squatter Camp problems in all, does arise in all again, and with many a serious Trust issues/matter, and as arising in all, and with the defining of Family and in Kenya too that is].
