All African cultures believe human beings have multiple non-material components that are essential aspects of our being. Some cultures defined and articulated as many as four parts, others said three, some said two. Ab the seat of highest intelligence, the Khu was the spiritual soul, the Sahu was the spiritual body, the Sekhem is the seat of power within one's spirit. For more information read the books by Muata Abhaya Ashby or Ra Un Nefer Amen on Kemetic spiritual teachings. It means we have lost our way and we underestimate who and what we are.
African people are spiritual people.
As the first humans to populate the planet, we knew intuitively there is more to us and the universe than could be perceived by the naked eye. Africans knew the human entity was more than mere flesh and blood, they one's being and personality encompassed more than the physical phenotype, attributes, and characteristics. Africans looked at humanity from a holistic view knowing the material and non-material had to be nurtured and developed. Eurasians, for the most part, have no such legacy. We have internalized the antithetical and irreconcilable alien world views of our oppressors.
