Who Are You Really? The Kmtyw Understanding of the Person as Multiple Selves

The Kmtyw concepts of the person reveal something profound: you are not one self, but many. For centuries, colonial education has reduced Afrikan people to consumers of Western philosophy. However, our ancestors in Kmt developed a rich, sophisticated understanding of human identity long before Europe had a name. In this foundational lecture, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon guides us back to that wisdom with clarity and intellectual precision. Furthermore, this session challenges every assumption you hold about what it means to be human.

Reclaiming the Kmtyw Concepts of the Person in Abibifahodie

This lesson is Week 2 of the Foundations of Kmtyw Thought series. In it, Ɔbenfo Kambon examines personhood as a composite of interrelated selves. Each self carries distinct spiritual, ancestral, and cosmological weight. You will explore the Destiny or Spiritual Double, the Soul or Breath, the Heart, the Ancestral Guardian, and the Shadow. Together, these elements form a complete portrait of the Afrikan person. As a result, you gain tools to understand yourself — and your people — outside of the colonizer’s framework. This is Abibifahodie in action: liberation through knowledge of self.

The lecture runs nearly three hours and includes 69 detailed slides. Most importantly, it draws on classical Kmt intellectual tradition and broader Kmtyw thought. Primary readings include Chukwunyere Kamalu’s Person, Divinity and Nature (1998). In addition, the session situates personhood within ethics, cosmology, and ancestral relationship. This is not abstract philosophy. This is living knowledge that reconnects Afrikan people to our deepest roots. Scholars, students, parents, and community builders will all find power in this material. Moreover, Ɔbenfo Kambon delivers it with the rigor and love that Abibitumi is known for worldwide.

Abibitumi exists to ensure that Afrikan people have direct access to world-class Afrikan-centered education. This lecture is priced at just $20 — a small investment for knowledge that can reshape your understanding of life itself. Do not wait for someone else to unlock what your ancestors already knew. Instead, take this step for yourself, your family, and your community today. The Kmtyw concepts of the person are your inheritance. Claim them.
