In isiZulu, the first or primary shrine "umsamo" is a person and "inkaba" (belly button) confirms that one is connected, through the umbilical cord and placenta, to one's mother, and therefore to generations before her. As such, our Ancestors are within us as proven Spiritually and genetically. Professor kaba Kamene recently said that when we call upon our Ancestors, we call upon those who are within us. That is absolutely true. Another South Afrikan matriarch, Nwabisa Gxothiwe also discusses this at length in her book, "Unesiduko Nje Unetyala".
The greeting, "Sawubona" is plural as opposed to "ngiyakubona", which is singular. Sawubona means that the Ancestors within me recognise and acknowledge you, the physical shrine which contains your Ancestors. Where there are many people, the greeting is "Sanibona or Sanibonani", we (my Ancestors and I) recognise and acknowledge the Ancestors within all of you. The person(s) being greeted reciprocates. Afrikans do not greet out of politeness but out of Spiritual obligation because, they never walk alone. Their Ancestors are always present.
Europeans, perceivd a greeting differently. Europeans greet out of politeness (being cordial) because they act alone or in their physical capacity. To Europeans, a greeting carries no Spiritual significance. This the reason for which they may commence a conversation without first greeting the other person. For example, a European may enter into a building without greeting anyone who is inside, then ask for assistance or make comments without greeting anyone inside that building, irrespective of their age.
Namasté is a Sanskrit word used in the Hindu greeting, and which is said to be similar in meaning, to the Afrikan greeting. The prefix, "Namas" means to 'bow' and the suffix, "te" means 'to you'. However, it has been said that it is the God within the person who performs the greeting, who bows to the 'God' of the person being greeted. The other person in turn, reciprocates by saying 'Namasté'.
The concept of 'God' came to Afrika much, much later with the advent of the products of the Council of Nicaea. Other sources indicate that the 'God' concept began with Ptolemy II Philadelphus who commissioned the Jewish Bible (Torah). The word 'Christ' (Krst, pronounced Kerest in Kush) itself originates from the word "KA", which is the Spirit or the Spiritual aspect of our being. The Kemetic Divine Principle of Creation known as Khnum, fashioned the "KA" (Spirit) of mankind on the potter's wheel, not the physical flesh of mankind. Europeans did not understand the concept of the "KA" and thought that it was the physical flesh which was being fashioned out of clay on the potter's wheel. This is reflected in the Bible, in Isaiah 64:8 which states that, "But now, O Lord, Thou art our Father; we are the clay, and Thou our potter; and we all are the work of Thy hand." Here, the Bible speaks, albeit in a distorted form, of the creation concept obtained from the Kemetic Divine Creation Principle, Khnum which is at least 4000 years older than the Torah, the Council of Nicaea, the Bible and the Hindu greeting, Namasté.
The attached photo which depicts Khnum and the Potter's wheel only, was taken from the relief of the Temple of Auset on the island of Philae (Iat Uabet / Per Auset). This Temple was converted into the first Roman Catholic Cathedral by Emperor Constantine after the approximate 600 year Ptolemaic era in Kemet. Both reliefs in the photos depict Khnum fashioning the KA of man on the potter's wheel.

These are statuettes of Nubian archers from the tomb of Nesut Mesehti. Long before the European armies incorporated the "Left, Right, left" march into their drill, our Ancestors understood the meaning of overcoming evil with good by marching with the left foot forward.
This is called the "NESI AMSU", which the Freemasons stole and renamed the Grand Hailing.
Our Ancestors understood that there are opposing forces exemplified by nature; day and night, summer and winter, light and dark, wet and dry, cold and hot, etc. To appreciate the one, there must be the other. Therefore, there is good and evil. This has nothing whatsoever, to do with Jesus and Satan, angels and demons. Good and Evil existed naturally, long before religion and dogma!
We need to reclaim what is our to move forward.
