Could Yoda be an
Egyptian/Twa God?
There is not one person from the
BioSphere called the Hood who did not immediately take to liking to Yoda
when they seen him in Empire Strikes Back. Maybe just as much as they did to
Lando, especially since the organized push for urbanites to consume an
alcoholic drink named after a gun with the kick of a bucking horse was at its
peak about the same time.
If children from the hood were
unable to relate to Star Wars after watching the first film because of
a lack of cultural identity they were surely able to after seeing Yoda.
Yoda the Jedi Master that Luke Skywalker was guided to see on Yoda on Dagobah,
who exiled himself to after the Jedi Purge in Star Wars 3 (which came way later
although way before).
Yoda, Master Jedi, Brilliant
Fighter, Loved by the Children, Simple Speech & Clear Cut Wisdom, Small in
Stature & Wide of Spirit…at one with the Force. And although it is said
that his image is based on the late Tsenzhab Serkong Rinpoche, I see someone
else in Yoda…the cosmic principle of Nature named Bes or Bisu….better known as
the Egyptian God Bes. Now whether George Lucas took the image of Bes and planted
it on Yoda…only he knows.
Me, I am going to take you into
an AfroFuturistic Journey of Possibility…which may be fixed and naturally
calculated inspiration to bring forth Yoda’s expression.
Bes or Bisu the cosmic principle
of Nature that more than likely originated with the Batwa or Twa people. A people
who exist in a dimension of expression which causes their height to be no
taller than 5 ft. which makes it easier to move around the forest, so you see,
they are not short…you are just clumsy. The inhabit Burundi, Rwanda, and
the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire). The Twa are known for
their music and dance and hunting and primarily for agriculture (which to me
includes farming, pottery, communion of the land through movement and a working
knowledge of weather and environment). Let me stress one thing again,
their so-called diminutive size is not an act of genetic
faultiness. In fact, it allows them to be closer to the rain-forest and more in
tune with how to move through it. Closer to Earth. Grounded in steps and
in accord with the scale (size) of life around them. As well as being
able to dissipate their body heat more effectively…you are the clumsy one when
you enter their realm…you are out of step with the force (I will come back to
this). They are called religious by clumsy folks because some taller groups of
people lack connection to Earth and its processes along with how to communicate
with it…so anyone that communicates with it through movement and vocalization
more than likely gets tossed into the religion bag.
When man began to shift away from
being in–tune with the forces around him, there of course became the ‘Purge’ or
‘Displacement’ of folks who were are one with the Force…I mean Nature. And this
dramatically lowered the population of those who stood close to the earth and
increased the uprising of external technology…ahem clones…I mean machinery.
Here is a result on some further
background of the Twa –
The word ‘Abatwa’ comes from
South African’s mythology referring to small human-like creature, generally
look exactly like primitive African tribes. In the ancient myth, Abatwa were born
from, nature spirit, Vash`Nok’s tear that brust and fell to the earth[2].
Some believe that the word originally allude to the Twa people, also known as
Batwa who live in the Great Lakes region of Africa what is now Rwanda, Uganda,
Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is more credible
because Twa people also have small stature, approximately 1.5 meters or only 5
feet tall[3].
Abatwa said to be the smallest
human form creatures that exist in the world, about ½ inch height, small enough
to ride on ants and hide beneath the grass blade. They live together peacefully
with the ants in the anthill[4]. Although
the myth has never mention how they deal with the ants, I think they’ve some
kind of antennae similar to ants, so they’ll be able to communicate with ants
and other small animals. Ant’s society is very unity and cohesion, they help
each other and obviously distribute their duties and I think Abatwa might have
an influence by the ants’ social structure including women role in the society.
As you knew ants are a hierarchy society that rules by an ant queen and
majority of the ant’s population is also female, therefore, I’ll not be
surprise if Abatwa’s first president is a woman.
