The Orb say: Flip' da script. "As below... so above."*
You colored/kreyol Elders was young in the time of Elijah Muhammed's Nation of Islam and the George Clinton's Parliment -Funkadelics (1975). What could these two groups have in common, you may well ask. The answer is the Mothership also known to the H. Elijah Muhammed as the "Motherplane".
The Celestial Mothership is a Starship! It was old in Dynastic Egypt where it was marked as a Star Boat. The latter day saint/musical genius Sun Ra called the Mothership above the Ark and his auditory sermons about it his Arkestra.
What y'all don't realize is that all these messengers here on Earth, were talking about a symbol that existed in heaven, a heavenly counterpart to our birth planet. The Persian/Greek revisionists called it Argo Navis, the Ship of the Desert. It has other names as well. The Starship is a large constellation in the Southern sky.
Remember the Southern sky was the focal point of African Star Science not the constellations of the North! The students of African Star Navigators returned to their homes without discussing or emphasizing the southern stellar asterisms which were attached to the African cultural infrastructure.
The European astronomers broke the Ship of the South into 4 or more parts in the 17th century. Ironically, this was done in the same time frame when African metaphysics and celestial sciences were dispersed as the African people were systematically removed from their base or Motherland.
The Starship constellation contains one of the most powerful lights in the multiverse, the star Canopus which was the pole star of the southern regions and is currently used to fix satellite telemetry. The Great Ship as an "archetype" became associated in the Diaspora with slavery and slave ships. Dark folk must "Tear the roof off the m...f ...." because the "roof" in the lyrical axiom of the Parliment-Funkadelic is the concept of being boxed in, or held "under" mind control!
The switch of the Mother Starship from interstellar galactic transport vehicle to slave ship has to be overstood and rejected. The pieces of the Starship must be gathered and reconstituted. No problem, it is not complex, it's all in the blood. It is blood that records the Akashic Records and sings them back every generation... including the blueprints for interstellar ship construction made by Ptah, the El Daoud, which when perfectly executed by Imhotep made him an "immortal."
Don't fall for the inhuman philosophy of conquest that "there can be only 1 " of anything in the multiverse. This is a multiverse not a universe. Do not make the fatal mistake of equating the Starship/Mothership with a rocketship made in a factory with metal components.
This teaching is not about any of that! This is de n-tro 2 Al-Khemi or alchemic transmutation. Alchemy is an owners guide to converting the energies held in the cells of a human body into "something else" at the transition of death. It is the science of living offered to those who will die. It is still accessible... all you have to do is "ask/axe". **

Above the Argo Navis is the celestial Mothership or Starship
