Blessings from Love… and welcome to BrownLeaf and the BrownLeaf website. Think of BrownLeaf not so much as a company or organization, but as an ongoing dialogue about our journey to a higher state of self-awareness with the purpose of unlocking our inner brilliance through joy, peace and harmony with all things. Humanity has been on a steady progression along the cycle of life or creation, soon to return to a state we once occupied. It has been known for quite some time that our earthly ancestors obtained a spiritual self-awareness and divine connection very unfamiliar to us today. And it was best demonstrated by their astounding accomplishments – both scientific and artistic.

“It is safe to say that the development of ancient science is unparalleled because it was done when there were no computers, space shuttles, tractors, cranes, bulldozers or gas-powered machinery. Besides the construction of massive monuments, the metaphysical and interplanetary connections are additional achievements that make our civilization appear light years behind the ancients.” – Dr. T. Owens Moore in Dark Matters, Dark Secrets

Returning to our ancestral roots and embracing the ancient African philosophy, “I am because we are, and because we are, I am” gives birth to this journey. It is the humble understanding that we need each other and that this communion is the very road that makes this crucial journey attainable.

Still to this day, our ancestors offer us the blueprint to unlocking our inner brilliance. We all carry dreams and aspirations to achieve success and happiness. And though these terms are very subjective, from an objective stance it trickles down to realizing an inner peace and bliss. Not only does our inner brilliance manifest, it flows out of us in this state of peace, bliss and harmony. It is a state of balance. One the most challenging things to obtain and maintain is balance. A challenge well understood by our ancestors and made evident by their approach to life.

“The universal human journey is one of becoming conscious of our power and how to use that power.” – Dr. Caroline Myss in Anatomy of The Spirit

This is the inner calling of self-improvement, personal development, and continual spiritual awakening. The quest to be better in so many differing areas of our lives can be summed up ultimately as a quest for a form of peace, harmony, and what is often look at as divinity or god power – the reunion of our Goddess-Self according to the premise that we have all originated from the ‘womb’ of God.

And so we begin to see an assimilation and fusion of West meets East in our approach to health, wellness, and spiritual growth. More and more of us are practicing yoga, qi gong, meditation, and taking advantage of the benefits of acupuncture, reiki, homeopathy, to name a few. (Pseudo-vegetarians and vegans are popping up everywhere these days.)

And in between these two opposites of East and West lies the dark continent of Africa. Dark in the sense of hidden from our immediate conscious, yet rich and fertile with her forgotten story waiting to be relived once again. The ways of the ancient Nubians, Kemites, Kushites, the Dogon people of Mali, ancient West African civilizations, the Moors of North Africa and Spain, and many more are also for our spiritual germination.

It’s no accident that you are here. Come join us in this dialogue, this journey. Together we will restore and maintain our balance, unlocking our inner brilliance, and realizing our true purpose in this life time.
