To understand one's Spirits is to understand the pure self. Before birth we are assigned with a Met Tet (Master of the Head/Guardian Angel). In most cases, people are not aware of their Spiritual Guide, much less who it is and how to acknowledge this deity. In many indigenous traditions, a divination is done to "introduce" the Met Tet to an individual. After receiving this information, we are then told what to offer our Spirit guide in the way of offerings, libations, songs, prayers, etc...

The Guide or Met Tet is merely an extension of the self in divine form. To learn this Guide is to learn ourselves. We must dig deep, past the shadow work in order to fully understand our Met Tet and ourself. It takes a lifetime. This deity walks with us constantly, never abandoning us. We are never left without, when it comes to this powerful self Spirit Guide.

This Met Tet completes the construction of the Soul. In  the Afro Caribbean Diaspora, there are seven parts of the Soul, similar to the seven Chakras respectfully. When all are comprised to create the Human experience it is called the Da, the One, the All. The Ancestral Spirit Danbala, partially derives from this great source of oneness....the Da. All is intertwined and connected. When the body expires, the seven Soul parts separate in traverse to the realms whereby they can download more information and recharge in order to house in another Human body. Thus creating an expanded consciousness. As in life so is the same in the Spirit realm, the more knowledge we download, the more experience we obtain. The Met Tet also has an Esko (escort) of numerous Spirits which to a degree are an extension of this Met Tet, an extension of the self.

It is imperative that we honor our Met Tet and our "self". Never stop learning the "self", it is our role to live and learn on this journey in order for us to either return, grow even more and share our teachings or to arrive home at some point. Honor the Da in you, the One and the connection to ALL that we have been given.
