Ta-Nefer Ankh
World of Beautiful Life

Ta-Nefer Ankh means "World of Beautiful Living", which happens to be our aspiration. We are a community and organization of members living KemetWay - the Kemetic 'Way of Life'. Our endeavor is to create a world of 'optimal life' for everyone and everything. Living the life-style of KemetWay of course means we are Kemetic, which is similar to one who says he/she is Yoruba, Akan, or Dogon.

What Does Being Kemetic Mean? Being Kemetic means living a life in harmony and syncretism with creation, endeavoring to achieve 'optimal life' for everyone and everything; sharing abundance, being life-creating and life-sustaining in all relationships, achieving expansion and growth through unity, cooperation and collaboration; and endeavoring to transform the world into a global-society living the 'way of life'.

KemetWay is the contemporary 'Way Of Life' established on the model of our ancient Kemetic Ancestors. Like the 'way' of our Ancestors, KemetWay is a system of living to achieve 'optimal living'. In Ta-Nefer Ankh we organize and unite as a family and tribe to collectively create and share abundance and prosperity for everyone in our community. Our way of life is communal as opposed to individualistic and self-centered.

KemetWay is a 'way of life' within the 'African Worldview' (like Yoruba, Akan, or Dogon) that advocates collective creation and sharing of abundance and prosperity. We recognize that all resources are gifts of Creation for which we are responsible to share and maintain. Therefore, we hold that everyone is entitled to food, resources and comfort by right of existence; that we are custodians of the resources of Creation. In this light we do not acknowledge or accept the destructive notion and practice of ownership of resources - earth, water, sun (light, heat), air, etc.- upon which life depends. In this light we advocate doing away with beliefs and systems, e.g. capitalism, and socialism, that do advocate such destructive beliefs and practices.

The 'Way Of Life' is opposed to the 'Way Of Barbarism' - a system of conquest, conflict, plunder, destruction, and exploitation. The Way Of Barbarism espouses plunder by one group of human beings at the expense of another. For example, capitalism and Eastern and Western religions, (Brahmanism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) advocate the conquest of other human beings to the benefit of their particular group. In so doing these systems generate and maintain wars, genocide, slavery, cultural and economic exploitation, destruction and debilitation of other people and the environment. These systems foster and maintain plunder, theft, rape, oppression, murder, and immorality in general.

Via Ta-Nefer Ankh we are reconnecting to the current of African civilization, particularly that of the Kemetic Way Of Life, and pursuing 'optimal living' by creating Ta-Nefer Ankh/KemetWay Communities globally.

Our Philosophical/Spiritual/Religious Orientation

Being Kemetic means we, like our ancestors, we espouse the world view that we are descendents of the creator Atum, and are responsible to creation by living a life that is life-creating and life-sustaining.

We recognize Atum as the creator; Ra (sun), Nu (Water), Shu (air), Nut (Sky), Geb (earth), Ausar and Auset (food), and Neb-Het and Set (minerals) as the Elements that sustain creation; and Ausar and Auset (the living word), Maat (order, balance, rightness, justice), Heru (force of truth) and Tehuti (knowledge, communication) as the Principals that govern creation. We refer to these life-forces as Neter (Neteru plural). We also refer to them as Nature, which is a linguistic descendent from the name Neter (Ntr).

We espouse, and aspire to, society and government established to fulfill the objectives of 'optimal living' and 'shared abundance' that is seamless in the endeavor of everyone fulfilling the responsibility of creation and the society no matter their station in life.

Questions:

Question: Do I have to join Ta-Nefer Ankh to embrace a Kemetic Life-Style?

The Kemetic Life-Style is realized only in an environment that adheres to the principals of creation - in short no offence to life/creation.
