Who Am I!

From the collection: “Tears from the Heart”
By: Mkhulu Muhambi

Seeds scattered across the deserts and stony ends of Afrika,
They blossom into tall, mighty trees —
Stretching from Cape to Cairo,
Breathing the rhythm of the ancestors.

Hawu mina!
Shame on me, for I have no roots.
I cannot drink from the womb of this land,
From the milk of uMama Afrika.
The juices of wisdom and survival slip past me,
No fruit grows from these dry stems.
Only strangers passing by
Water me with their sweat and tears.

Ngilahlekile bo!
I speak with an accent foreign to my ancestors.
They confuse me with thy oppressor.
Mqombothi tastes bitter on my tongue,
Mbaqanga feels foreign to my soul.
They taught me that “bush languages” are primitive,
The language of my forefathers!
So I silenced my own voice to sound acceptable.

Yet I was born in this motherland,
Cradled by her dust,
But schooled in my oppressor’s house.
Ngafundiswa ukuzonda mina,
Taught to hate myself,
To reject the rhythm of my name,
To forget the power of my blood.

Now I no longer know where I come from,
Nor where my road will lead.

Tomorrow, the wind will rise —
Inkanyamba iyavunguza!
Whirling from the shores of Natal,
It will lift me and scatter my spirit
To the nowhere lands beyond remembering.

And when thy wind comes,
There’ll be no more of me.
Visitors will feast on the riches of my birthplace,
And uMama Afrika will weep in silence —
The pride of her unsung heroes fading in the dust.

Ngithi bo!
“For no rootless tree can survive a storm.”

I Am an African

By: Mkhulu Muhambi

I look at myself in the mirror — and I see black.
Mo Afrika, ngwana ‘mmala wa sebilo.
To many nations, I am a grandson.

When I follow my roots, they stretch endlessly,
They weave across Afrika,
From where the sun rises to where it sets.

I search for a place I can call home,
And Afrika calls in many directions.
Kganti ke mang nna? — Who am I?

When I look within,
I see Afrika breathing through my veins,
Stretching from dawn to dusk.

Ke bua sejatlhapi, gonne ke tsela e ke rupisitsweng ka yona —
I speak the language of my forebears,
Sharpened to survive the storms of this motherland.

I follow my roots, and they guide me still,
Spreading across all of Afrika.
So I stand — steady,
At the centre of the horizon,
Still wondering who I truly am.

I am an African.
Ngwana ‘mmala wa sebilo.
Asè 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Why So Many Are Awakening Now
🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

You are not imagining it — the world truly is stirring. More and more people are awakening, hearing the voices of their ancestors, dreaming vividly, feeling restless in ways they can’t explain.

This is not a trend. It is a recall of the spirit.

For generations, our connection to the land and to those who came before us was interrupted — by displacement, by religion that denied our roots, by systems that silenced our ways of knowing.
But the earth remembers.
And now, as the world trembles with change — war, illness, climate shifts, confusion — the spirits are rising again to restore what was broken.

Each awakening you see is a light being switched back on — a lineage remembering its name.
Some hear the call through dreams.
Some through illness.
Some through loss or depression.
But the purpose is the same: to realign humanity with creation’s original order.

That’s why so many are awakening now.
Because the world is out of balance, and those chosen as vessels must rise to bring harmony back.

If you are one of them, don’t fear the shaking.
You are not losing your mind — you are regaining your memory.

🕯️ Ukuphaphama kwedlozi is not about being special — it’s about being summoned.
And the ancestors are calling louder now because time is short and healing is urgent.

🔥 Ukuphaphama Kwedlozi — When the Spirit Begins to Awaken

After the dreams have spoken, the next stage begins.
The body becomes the battlefield — and the language of the ancestors starts to speak through flesh and bone.

Sometimes what you call anxiety is not fear — it is remembrance.
Your body knows when something ancient is stirring.
The trembling, the unease, the sleepless nights — it is not madness.
It is memory resurfacing.

You start to feel tired even after resting.
The eyes grow heavy, not from sleep but from visions that will not stop coming.
You feel followed — like someone is behind you, watching your every step.
You are not imagining it. You are being prepared.

Your dress code begins to change, sometimes it even fails you —
the shoes, the clothes, the colours no longer feel like yours.
You crave solitude because only in silence do you find peace,
only there can you continue where your dreams left off.

And in that isolation, the fire grows.
Irritability, anger, tears without reason.
Relationships begin to crack, the workplace becomes unbearable,
and the weight of it all feels impossible to carry.

This is one of the last stages before ukuthwasa.
Some resist — and then everything collapses.
The body in turmoil.
Miscarriages, separations, resignations.
Life begins to fall apart so that the spirit can finally come together.

Are you still there?
Yes, you. I am talking to you.

Light that single white candle tonight. 🕯️
Surrender yourself.
Call your ancestors by name and ask them to guide your steps.
You are not ordinary.
You are a vessel — and the time for the spirit to work through you has come.

🌌 Dreams - Ditoro: The Language of the Ancestors by Mkhulu Muhambi.

In science, dreams are explained as the mind processing memories and emotions during sleep.
In the calling of our ancestors, dreams are more than psychology — they are the first classroom of initiation.

⸻

🔮 Why Dreams Intensify in Ubizo

When the ancestors awaken the inner eye (the pineal gland), the initiate begins to see beyond ordinary reality.
Dreams become the chosen channel because they bypass the noise of the waking mind.
In dreams, the initiate can be taught, warned, and even tested — long before formal ukuthwasa begins.

⸻

🕊 Types of Ancestral Dreams
1. Repetitive Dreams – the same message shown again and again until it is heard.
2. Symbolic Dreams – rivers, snakes, or ancestral homes appearing as metaphors of the calling.
3. Instructional Dreams – where an initiate is given herbs, songs, or shown rituals.
4. Prophetic Dreams – visions of events before they unfold.

Each dream is a lesson plan of the amadlozi, teaching in a language that is both hidden and sacred.

⸻

⚡ The Restless Dreamer

In this stage, many complain of disturbed sleep, vivid visions, or exhaustion upon waking.
Science says it is melatonin and brain activity.
As healers we know it is the eye of the ancestors testing its sight — slowly pulling the person from ordinary sleep into spiritual awareness.

Amathongo omntu obiziweyo are not random images. They are the letters of the ancestors, carried through the night to guide, instruct, and prepare.
To ignore these dreams is to ignore the very foundation of the calling.

In the school of amadlozi, the first teacher is always the dream.

⸻

⚡ Science calls it sleep. We know it as the beginning of prophecy. 👁️

👁️The Eye of the Ancestors - THE THIRD EYE

In Western science, the pineal gland is a small gland in the center of the brain that regulates sleep cycles and dreams. In spiritual traditions, it is called the “third eye,” the seat of inner vision.
In the African context of ubizo and ukuthwasa, this “third eye” is not a foreign idea — it is what healers know as the eye of the ancestors.

⸻

🌊 Ubizo: The First Stirring of the Inner Eye

When a person receives the calling (ubizo), their life begins to shift. Dreams intensify, visions become clearer, and there is a constant sense of being “watched” or guided.
This is not madness, nor coincidence. It is the pineal gland awakening, opening a channel between the initiate and the ancestors.

The ancestors do not speak through ordinary sight or hearing. They speak through the inner vision, the eye that looks into the unseen. That is why the early stages of ubizo are filled with prophetic dreams, restless sleep, and flashes of spiritual awareness. The body resists, but the spirit insists.

⸻

🔥 Ukuthwasa: Training the Eye of the Ancestors

At Ikhaya Labangoma during ukuthwasa, the initiate learns to discipline this awakened vision.
• The dreams are interpreted.
• The sensations in the forehead or crown are explained.
• Rituals, herbs, and ancestral songs help to cleanse and “polish” the inner eye.

In this sense, the pineal gland is not just an organ — it becomes the seat where amadlozi sit, projecting their wisdom into the mind of the thwasa.

⸻

🐍 Signs of the Eye Opening

Sangomas often describe physical and spiritual symptoms that mirror descriptions of the “third eye” in other traditions, but rooted in African practice:
• Pressure or heat around the forehead and temples.
• Sudden visions that appear during trance or song.
• Dreams that feel more “real” than waking life.
• The ability to see illness or misfortune in others before it happens.

These are not accidents. They are the eye of the ancestors opening inside the initiate — what science calls the pineal gland, and what African healers call ukubona ngezithunywa (seeing with the messengers).

⸻

🌌 The Pineal Gland as the Ancestral Portal

If the pineal gland is the biological “third eye,” then in African spirituality it is the ancestral portal.
Through it:
• Dreams become prophecies.
• Songs become instructions.
• A thwasa becomes a sangoma — not by training alone, but by the eye of the ancestors fully opening.

✨

Science tells us the pineal gland governs sleep and dreaming. Sangomas know it governs the gateway of ubizo.
When the ancestors choose someone, they do not knock on the physical eyes — they knock on the inner eye, awakening the pineal gland to make that person a vessel.
Thus, to answer the call of ubizo is to surrender to the opening of the ancestral eye within — a vision that transforms not just the individual, but the community they are called to heal.

Why Shoes Are Not Allowed in Sacred Spaces:

In African traditional healing, removing your shoes before entering a sacred space is not just custom—it is a sacred law. This act carries profound spiritual, cultural, and ancestral meaning, rooted in our deepest respect for the unseen world.

⚫ 1. Respecting the Ancestors (Ukuhlonipha Amadlozi)

The healing space is a dwelling place of the ancestors. It is sacred. Shoes carry the dust, noise, and chaos of the outside world. Removing them is a sign of humility and reverence, as we do not walk into the house of the ancestors with the same feet that walked through worldly troubles.

“Isango lamadlozi lingena ngobunono – ungene uhlonipha, ungene uhlanzekile.”
(“You enter the gate of the ancestors with gentleness—with respect, and with spiritual cleanliness.”)

⸻

⚪ 2. Spiritual Cleanliness (Ukuhlambuluka Komoya)

Shoes can carry impure energies from wherever you’ve been—arguments, sickness, negative vibrations, even spiritual attacks. To preserve the power of the healing space, we leave those energies outside.

This ensures that the space remains pure, protected, and spiritually focused for both healer and patient.

⸻

🔴 3. Connection to the Earth (Ukuxhumana Nehlabathi Elingcwele)

Walking barefoot in sacred space reconnects us to the energy of the earth, where our ancestors are buried and where our spiritual power comes from. Shoes block that connection. Bare feet allow the soul to speak directly to the soil.

In African cosmology, the earth is alive—a witness, a healer, and a messenger.

⸻

⚫ 4. Observing Sacred Law (Imithetho Yobungoma)

At Ikhaya Labangoma, we honour ancestral law and sacred protocols. Every healing hut, ritual ground, or sacred site is governed by spiritual rules. One of the oldest laws says:

“No one enters sacred space with shoes.”
It is not just about dirt—it is about spiritual discipline and protection.

⸻

⚪ 5. Symbol of Humility (Ukuthoba Umoya)

To remove one’s shoes is to say:

“I leave my ego outside. I enter as a seeker. I am ready to listen, learn, heal.”

Just as we kneel before a chief, we walk barefoot before the spirits.

⸻

✨ Ikhaya Labangoma Message:

“Ngaphambi kokungena endlini yamadlozi, qala uhlambuluke – ukhulule imbadada zakho, ushiye umhlaba ngaphandle. Uze njengomoya ofuna ukwelashwa, hhayi njengomzimba ogqoke iziqu.”
(“Before entering the house of the ancestors, cleanse yourself—remove your shoes, leave the world outside. Come as a spirit seeking healing, not a body wearing titles.”)

Next time you visit a shrine or sacred place, remove your shoes with pride and let you be healed!
