African Openings To The Tree of Life uncovers the universal essence and life generating principles of African religion, philosophy, mythology, folklore, rituals, and symbolism, ordered and crystallized. These principles pertain to one''s total development, relating on different levels to the person, the family, the social group, the spiritual group, the neighborhood, the community, and work organization. These principles are intended to orient one toward understanding, seeing and living life as an on-going process. The principles may be used to deal with, or simply reflect upon life in its many aspects. Certain principles when turned over in the mind and meditated upon may provide solutions to a vast range of problems. The second portion of the book is an invaluable, concise essay on the profound significance ideas and symbols have upon the building of cultures, civilizations and personalities.
