Architecture as Riddles in Stone Part 6

I like to research about politics, theology, history, culture, anthropology, sociology, technology,
literature, science, engineering, biology, engineering, mathematics, and many other subjects. Yet, at
times, I like to research esoteric issues and things of that nature. This is one of those times. I like to
understand the mysteries of the Universe. Architecture is important to know, study, and
understand. It has existed for thousands of years. There are complex reasons for architecture to
exist or to be formulated. In life, we see that corporations and material objects are not superior to
the human mind and the human spirit. There is the intrinsic value of the human life. Human life is
superior to imperialism, bigotry, and ignorance. With the recent events going on in the Universe,
we certainly need to reject mass consumption and materialism. These items are preventing what
America & the rest of the world has its potential to become. We are the generation that has
discovered more of the secrets behind much architecture spanning the four corners of the world.
Many famous buildings are built on ley lines. Many ancient human beings believe that ley lines have
spiritual power and many cities and buildings are built on them to harness energy, etc.



The Sochi Complex

Also, the Sochi Winter Olympic complex is famous too for many reasons. The 2014 Winter Olympics
have gone and past. Numerous great athletics performed amazing feats. First, the symbolism must
be shown about the original ceremony and other things about the event. The 2014 Winter Olympic
Games has the Russian built a huge Olympic Stadium. It shows the history of Russia via various
symbolism and scenes. There was the huge double headed eagle that was splashed across the
screen among other various Russia symbols. One of the symbols was the double headed eagle. The
double headed eagle existed for thousands of years. It was famous for its usage in the Byzantine
Empire and it was been used in the ancient secrets of the mysteries. The Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry is famous for incorporating the double headed eagle and Russian Coat of Arms. The
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry came about centuries ago. They are very common in the United States
of America and they have 33
rd
Degrees in the States.







This archaeological image of the double headed eagle is found in the ancient Hittite civilization
(found in modern day Turkey) dating from ca. 20
th
century to the 13
th
century B.C.). The Hittite
image is found on the left, while the double headed eagle found in the opening ceremony of the
2014 Winter Olympics is found on the right.

The double headed eagle represents the law of opposites or balance in equilibrium:

The double headed-eagle, as the ensign of the Alchemical Rebus or Stone of the
Phillsophers, symbolizes this process, the magnum opus or Great Work of spiritual
regeneration. Through its unification of opposites and association with alchemical Fire,
the path of regeneration and ascent up the Tree of Life is indicated (32
nd
Degree
Freemasons Gregory H. Peters Solve et Coagula: Alchemical symbolism of the Double-Headed
Eagle).

In the ancient doctrines of the mystery schools, human and Nature want to be in balance among
opposites as a means for life to have completion and enlightenment. The two heads in the doubled
headed eagle image acts as one. The three horses in the opening ceremony were symbolic of the
troika bird or a famous cultural icon of Russia. The horses pull a sun. There ceremony shows the
history of the Soviet Union as gears in motion. The whole Fisht Olympic Stadium is named after
Mount Fisht. It has a 40,000 person capacity. The stadium was created by Populous and British
design consultancy Buro Happold. The stadium's walls and roof are one continuous glass surface.
They are designed to reflect sunlight off the sea during the day. It was opened in 2013 and it cost
$779 million to build the stadium. In October 2013, the Central Bank of Russia issued a
commemorative 100 ruble note. This was a hundred days before the start of the winter Olympic
Games in Sochi. The blue tinted banknote depicts a flying snowboarder on one side, and on the
other the Fisht Olympic Stadium and a firebird. The location of the Sochi Olympics is taking place in
the Caucasus Mountains. We know the historical significance of those mountains. Now, the Sochi
mascots are called Snowflake and Ray of Light.

The 2014 Winter Olympics advanced a mythical story on how both mascots came about. According
to the Winter Olympicss website, here is the fictional story of these 2 beings: Ray Of Light flew
down to Earth from a planet where it was always hot. His journey was full of challenges. After he
landed he faced a new and unknown planet where everything was different compared to his
home. Everything on the Earth was new to him: cold winters, snow and winds, and of course
unknown people around him. Ray Of Light looked very different from the people on Earth as
well. He had amber skin, sparks in his wide eyes and hair that looked like flames. But these
differences were only external. Ray Of Light was so nice and kind to everyone, and he was
always ready to help and support the people around him. Very soon, people understood that the
difference between Ray Of Light and the people on the Earth was based purely on appearances
and that it was just peoples initial perceptions that had led them to believe that there were great
differences. The more they interacted, the more they discovered that they were much more
similar then they had thought at the beginning

The Snowflake character has a six pointed hexagram attached to it. The Hexagram is a very
ancient symbol. It refers to the hermetic concept of the union of heaven and Earth. The six
pointed hexagram is found in the Kabbalah, Crowleys Thelema, and other places globally.
Freemasonry interprets the Hexagram in the following terms:


"The interlacing triangles or deltas symbolize the union of the two principles or forces, the active
and passive, male and female, pervading the universe ... The two triangles, one white and the other
black, interlacing, typify the mingling of apparent opposites in nature, darkness and light, error and
truth, ignorance and wisdom, evil and good, throughout human life." Albert G.
Mackey: Encyclopedia of Freemasonry




There is a coin called Prometheus, which has tons of esoteric meaning. Prometheus in legend stole
fire from Mount Olympics and gave it to the people. A commemorative coin of copper-nickel with a
denomination of 25 roubles featuring mascots of the XI Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi Ray of
Light and Snowflake will also be released. Prometheus is said to be chained in the Caucasus
Mountains. Also, in ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus is a Titan (or a primeval group of deities
that came before the Olympians). In legend, he stole fire from the gods as a means to give it to
humanity. The statue of Prometheus is displayed in Rockefeller Center (as the Rockefeller family
historically has ties to banking, oil, and other foundations too). In the occult tradition, humans must
have occult knowledge in order to achieve enlightenment or godhood. Not to mention that the
countdown Sochi clock is triangular in shape looking similar to a Pyramid. Many other researchers
have found out about the Merkahah connection to the ceremony.







New Masonic Temple of St. Louis

Architecture is important in the world. There is the famous New Masonic Temple in St. Louis,
Missouri. It was built in 1926. It has many images that deal with Classical Revival architecture, which
deals with many buildings built for Freemason meeting places. It looks very similar to the House of
the Temple building in Washington, D.C. and it has great differences as well. The location is
designated as a city landmark. Visitors can go into the temple, but only on the days when a meeting
is held. The Pear Tree Inn Union Station -St. Louis and Courtyard St. Louis Downtown are the closet
hotels to the New Masonic Temple. The Temple builders' studied Greek, Roman, and Gothic
modernist architecture before settling on the Grecian model. We know that the temple's exterior is
of the Greek Ionic style with its simple lines, towering proportions, and overall monumental size.
The top of the temple was influenced by the Parthenon of Greece (that celebrated the goddess
Athena. Athena is the ancient Greek goddess of wisdom. She wears a shield and holds a spear).
There are columns that line the Lindell Street entrance to the temple. The lower parts of the
exterior have other items as well. They are adorned with images of compasses, squares, and other
Masonic emblems. There are two Latin phrases and an image of Mercury. Mercury is the messenger
of the ancient Roman gods. Mercury is mythology gave light to the Earth. There are a sphinx and a
few griffins on the building. The griffins are found on the ends of the south pediment and the
corners of the second terrace. All of these features make the New Masonic Temple a very
prominent building and have placed it amongst the greatest buildings in the world. It is a famous
building in the city of St. Louis. It was built in the 1920's. The temple has stood the test of time and
is very durable architecturally.



This is one picture of the New Masonic Temple of St. Louis. It has much symbolism.

The picture above has a wreath surrounding the square and compass image. The square and
compass image is one of the most famous, identifiable images of Freemasonry. To Freemasons,
the square and compass represents the goals of the Freemason. The image is shown in Masonic
rituals as a means to teach lesson. Duncan's Masonic Monitor of 1866 explains them as: "The
square, to square our actions; The compasses, to circumscribe and keep us within
bounds with all mankind (Malcolm C. Duncan (2004). Duncan's Masonic Ritual and
Monitor. Whitefish, MT: Kessinger Publishing. p. 36. ISBN 978-1-4179-1113-4). There are
many other meanings for the square and compass too (like the merging of the masculine and
feminine principles to create generation). The window on the bottom shows the image that
looks similar to sacred geometry with the patterns. Anno Domini is Latin for in the year of the
Lord. The letters of MCMXXIV refers to the year 1924 when the Scottish Rite Cathedral in St.
Louis was finally built. What is Anno Lucis phrase as found on the building? Anno Lucis is
found in Freemasonry. It is Latin for Year of Light. It is a dating system for the Masons and
they add 4,000 years to the Gregorian calendar year. For example, the year of 2014 would be
2014 Anno Lucis. AEDIFICATVM means dedication. So, we see that the Latin phrases means
in English that this building was dedicated in the year of 1924.

*For the record: I have made my views on Freemasonry explicitly clear. I dont agree with
Freemasonry at all for religious, social, political, and moral reasons. Freemasonry uses death
related oaths and they teach deception among its lower level members as shown in this quotation
from the late 33
rd
Degree Freemason Albert Pike:

The Blue Degrees are but the outer court or portico of the Temple. Part of the symbols are
displayed there to the Initiate, but he is intentionally misled by false interpretations. It is not
intended that he shall understand them; but it is intended that he shall imagine he understands
them. Their true explication is reserved for the Adepts, the Princes of Masonry." (Albert Pikes
Morals and Dogma, on p.819)

Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, conceals its
secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and
misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve only to be misled; to conceal the
Truth, which it calls Light, from them, and to draw them away from it. [SOURCE: Albert Pike,
Morals and Dogma, page 104].

Another source on Freemasonry is the following:

"You must conceal all the crimes of your brother Masons, except murder and treason, and these
only at your own option, and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason be
always sure to shield him. Prevaricate [falsify], don't tell the whole truth in his case, keep his
secrets, forget the most important points. It may be perjury to do this, it is true, but you're
keeping your obligations, and remember if you live up to your obligation strictly, you'll be free
from sin." (Edmond Ronayne, "Masonic Handbook," page 183)
Freemason J. D. Buck wrote the following words: A Mason may discriminate in favor of a
Brother Mason. Other things equal, he may give him the preference as he would a brother by the
ties of kinship and of blood (J. D. Buck, The Genius of Freemasonry, Vol. I, Chicago Indo-
American Book Co. 1914, p. 75). Freemasonry in essence has an outer face and an inner face of
secrecy as written by 33
rd
Degree Freemason Manly P. Hall:
"Freemasonry is a fraternity within a fraternity -- an outer organization concealing an inner
brotherhood of the elect ... it is necessary to establish the existence of these two separate and yet
interdependent orders, the one visible and the other invisible. The visible society is a splendid
camaraderie of 'free and accepted' men enjoined to devote themselves to ethical, educational,
fraternal, patriotic, and humanitarian concerns. The invisible society is a secret and most August
[defined as 'of majestic dignity, grandeur'] fraternity whose members are dedicated to the service
of a mysterious arcannum arcandrum [defined as 'a secret, a mystery']." [Hall, Lectures on
Ancient Philosophy, p. 433]. In essence, Freemasonry is the expression of the Mysteries in the
modern era and Masons only want people to believe in one God to join (among other
requirements). Freemasonry is heavily linked to the Kabbalah as admitted by Masons Albert Pike
and J. D. Buck. So, folks know what the deal is.

*Also, I want to be clear that I dont believe that all Freemasons should be scapegoated for all
evils in the world. Masons should not be persecuted or mistreated. Human beings ought to have
the freedom of conscience and the freedom of expression. They should not be disrespected.
We should live in a world where there can be disagreement without unfair hatred or violence. I
have peaceful dissent with the Order of Freemasonry, but all members of the human family
(Mason or non-Mason) should have basic human rights unequivocally and without
exception.
I am an independent thinking human being and I dont need secret,
perverted oaths or secret proceedings as a means to cause me to improve
my spirituality. I can just think on what is righteous and follow the real
truth.

London, United Kingdom
One of the most interesting architecture images are found in London, UK. London itself has been
influenced by esoteric orders for centuries. London plays an important role in the outline of
world international power too. London is home to numerous esoteric sites. First, it is important to
know some of its ancient history. For thousands of years, settlements have existed in London
(which surrounds the River Thames). During the ancient times, megalithic societies build stone
circles and burial mounds. There were more sophisticated settlements and hill forts constructed
during the Iron Age. Primrose Hill is one remnant of a megalithic location in London. London
was called Caerlundein after King Lud from the 1st century B.C. The Romans named it
Londinium and then it has been called London. The ancient Romans invaded London in ca. 54
B.C. via Julius Caesar and his soldiers. They encountered the Druids. Julius Caesar said that the
Druids did divine worship, human sacrifice, and the burning of prisoners in the wicker men.
The Druids were heavily pagans and they worshipped Nature. From the events of Queen
Boudicca, etc. the ancient Romans and the Druids constantly fought each other. The Knights
Templar had a base in London too. Dr. John Dee believed in the occult and advised Queen
Elizabeth to grow the British Empire. The Great Fire of 1666 destroyed over 13,000 buildings in
London. Then, it had to be rebuilt. Christopher Wren helped to rebuild much of London. He was
one of the acclaimed English architects in history. He helped to rebuild 52 churches in the City
of London. He was educated in Latin and Aristotelian physics at the University of Oxford. He
was an astronomer, geometer, and mathematician-physicist. He was a founder of the Royal
Society. There is the debate whether Christopher Wren was a Freemason or not. Evidence from
two obituaries and Aubrey's memoirs, with supporting materials, that he did indeed attend the
closed meeting in 1691, probably of the Lodge of Antiquity, but that there is nothing to suggest
that he was ever a Grand Officer as claimed by Anderson.
He or Christopher Wren wanted Londons new buildings to be set 2,000 cubits apart. 2,000
cubits or 23 of a mile represent the distance from the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem. This was the
furthest a Jewish person was allowed to walk during the Sabbath according to tradition. He
inspired the creation of Saint Pauls Cathedral, which not surprisingly is aligned 2,000 cubits
from Temple Bar to the West and 2,000 cubits from St Dunstans in the East. According to
Andrew Gough, Other buildings erected after the fire, such as the Monument and Nelsons
Column, were either designed with occult-inspired dimensions or aligned to the solstices.
Further, Wrens student Nicholas Hawksmoor followed in the occult tradition by placing
Egyptian obelisks on top of churches, forming, in the estimations of some, a pentagram on the
ground across London.
St. Pauls Cathedral was created in the English Baroque style. What is that? It is a type of
architecture that begin in the 16
th
century from Italy. Its style includes the dramatic usage of light
(like strong light and shade contrasts), it used an external faade that wants to display a dramatic
central projection, oval forms are found in churches too. It was an unique style of architecture. It
was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962. It stands at 365 feet high. Its dome is also
among the highest in the world. It carried many services including funerals of well known human
beings like Lord Nelson (the Duke of Wellington), Winston Churchill, and Margaret Thatcher.
Even the wedding of Prince Charles of Wales and the late Princess Diana Spencer occurred in St.
Pauls Cathedral.

There obelisk in London is called the London Cleopatra needle too. We know that the obelisk
from the ancient capital of Heliopolis was installed on the south bank of the Thames. Andrew
Gough also wrote that: Cleopatras Needle, as the London obelisk is known, is flanked by
two replica sphinxes that appear to guard the ancient structure. In fact, sphinxes adorn the whole
of Londons Embankment, including armrests on the benches along the Thames The ruler of
Egypt and Sudan named Muhammad Ali presented the obelisk to the United Kingdom in 1819. It
was about the commemoration of the victories of Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile and Sir
Ralph Abercomby at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. So, this situation is about the evil
celebrating of imperialist conquests, which is disgraceful. The obelisk was in Alexandria until
1877. Sir William James Erasmus Wilson (an anatomist and dermatologist) sponsored its
transportation to London at a cost of some 10,000 (a very considerable sum in those days). It
was dug out of the sand in which it had been buried for nearly 2,000 years and was encased in a
great iron cylinder, 92 feet (28 m) long and 16 feet (4.9 m) in diameter, designed by the engineer
John Dixon and dubbed Cleopatra, to be commanded by Captain Carter. Many people have died
in the voyage of the obelisk from Egypt to London. The obelisk is found in relation to the
Mystery Schools for thousands of years. The Ancient Egyptians called the obelisk tekhenu.
During the 19th century to the present, ancient Egyptian culture (including the obelisk)
influenced architecture and cemetery art globally from Europe to the States. This truth is
documented in the book entitled, The revival Styles in American Memorial Art by McDowell
and Meyer. To the ancients, the obelisk represented the sun god Ra (some view it as related from
the natural phenomena associated with the sun too). According to the scholar James Henry
Breasted in his Development of Religion and Thought in Ancient Egypt from 1912:
The pyramid form may be explained by an examination of the familiar obelisk
form. The obelisk, as is commonly known, is a symbol sacred to the Sun-god. So far as
I am aware, however, little significance has heretofore been attached to the fact that
the especially sacred portion of the obelisk is the pyramidal apex with which it is
surmounted



Today, Cleopatras Needle is flanked by two Egyptian looking sphinxes cast from bronze. The
hieroglyphic inscriptions on the sphinxes are netjer nefer men-kheper-re di ankh (the good god,
Thuthmosis III given life). These Sphinxes appear to be looking at the Needle rather than
guarding it. This is due to the Sphinxes' improper or backwards installation. The Embankment
has other Egyptian flourishes, such as buxom winged sphinxes on the armrests of benches. The
sphinx in this context represents guards. According to the LA Central Library website, it shows
an interesting view of the meaning of their sphinxes as the hidden mysteries of knowledge and
guard civilization. There are other interpretations of the meaning of the sphinx too. Symbols and
images can have multiple meanings among the human family.
So, occult traditions are very much powerful in London then and now.







More Mysteries about Architecture


Architecture is known for its embrace of shapes, patterns, etc. Some who do architecture
know fully about sacred geometry. In sacred geometry, 6 is the number of structure. The
hexagram is used for structure in all scales of the Universe (from the microcosm to the
macrocosm). It is interesting to note that hexagonal shapes are found in snowflakes and many
crystals others than ice have hexagonal crystal systems. The gaseous planet Saturn has
hexagonal clouds on its north pole discovered by Voyager 1 in 1977 and verified again in 2006
by the Cassini spacecraft. This means that the hexagon is a persistent structure on the surface of
the planet Saturn. In the microcosm, living creatures like bees create hexagonal houses and
birthing chambers for their young. Hexagonal space frame make solid structures. In sacred
geometry, the number 5 refers to the number of life. We see that the Pentagram encodes the
golden number of Phi fractally. 6/5 times Phi squared equals to about Pi. The patterns of the
Hexagram and the Pentagram are related to each other. Adenine is one of the four bases that code
for all life in deoxyribonucleic acid (or DNA). Adenine's molecular structure is based on a
hexagonal ring bonded to a pentagonal ring. Even the DMT molecule has the molecular
structure of a hexagonal ring bonded to a pentagonal ring. Melatonin is secreted by the pinecone
shaped pineal gland in the center of the human brain. The core of this molecule yet again is a
pentagonal ring bonded to a hexagonal ring. Hermetic symbolism is also found in Hermetic
Renaissance Art.

We know about the symbolism found in the original planning of Washington, D.C. One planner
of the map of D.C. was the Freemason Pierre LEnfant. Sacred geometry is very complex. Years
ago, I only knew a few things about it. As I have gotten older, I know more about it. The patterns
of 6 and 5 exist in many structures of the world. For example, St. Pauls Cathedral is 555 feet
long if you include its entrance steps. That is 6600 inches according to Steven Skinners book
entitled, Sacred Geometry: Deciphering the Code. St. Paul's architect, Sir Christopher Wren,
also encoded the solar 365 in the height of the cross on top of the dome as measured in English
feet. The Washington Monument has the height of 555 feet as well. John Martineau's superb A
Little Book of Coincidence has a page about a discovery made by Alex Geddes which relates the
products of mean orbital radii of planets in our solar system through a series of elegant ratios.
Some believe that 6/5 is like a universal code built into the establishment of the Universe from
the snowflake, the Earth, and to the rest of the Universe. The exact distance between the center of
the Kaaba in Mecca and the center of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is 665.65 nautical miles.



The Oklahoma State Capitol

The Oklahoma State Capitol has tons of architectural influences. It houses the government of the
U.S. state of Oklahoma obviously. Both the executive and legislative branch offices are found there.
The building is located along Lincoln Boulevard in Oklahoma City. The present structure includes a
dome that was completed in 2002. The building is a National Historic Landmark. Oklahoma's first
state capital was found in Guthrie, OK. It was moved in Oklahoma City in 1910. The state capitol was
constructed beginning on 1914. It was finished in 1917. The state capitol complex is the only state
capitol grounds in the United States with active oil rigs. The capitol has many white limestone and
pink granite as a means to build up the structure. The building's dome is made up of steel
reinforced concrete and reinforced plaster casts. Surrounding the Capitol building is found other
government buildings, non-government agency locations, museums, libraries, and tree lined streets
and boulevards. The complex includes the State Capitol Park, the Oklahoma History Center, the
Oklahoma Judicial Center, and the Oklahoma Governor's Mansion. The 14,000-square-foot (1,300
m2) mansion has a limestone exterior to complement the Oklahoma State Capitol's exterior. The
surrounding neighborhood is home to numerous restaurants and bars. The Oklahoma History
Center opened in 2005 and is operated by the Oklahoma Historical Society. It preserves the history
of Oklahoma from prehistoric Native American tribes to the present day. There are many chambers
found in the interior of the Capitol. Tons of artwork is found in the Capitol as well.







The image above outlines the interior of the dome of the Oklahoma State Capitol building. You can
see the geometric shapes and the seal of the state as well. There are many murals in the located
that were created by Native American artist Charles Banks Wilson including other prominent artists.
Oklahoma is a state with a strong historical connection with Native Americans. In real life, my oldest
brother currently lives in the great state of Oklahoma.


The Chickasaw artist Mike Larsen created the mural of the Flight of Spirit. This mural honors the
Five Moons or the famous 20th century Native American ballerinas from Oklahoma. The mural is
found in the Capitol rotunda. There are many large paintings made by Wayne Cooper on display in
the building as well. Many of them depict the early heritage and oil history of the state. Seminole
artist Enoch Kelly Haney's painting entitled, "The Earth and I are One" is on display on the first floor
of the building. The Senate lobby includes a 6 foot by 10 foot oil-on-canvas painting of the
"Ceremonial Transfer of the Louisiana Purchase in New Orleans - 1803" by Mike Wimmer. The
Senate Lounge displays a watercolor painting entitled "Community of Boling Springs" by Sonya
Terpening.

Ghana
Africa is a great, special continent. It is person in my life, because I am of black African
descent. I am a black African American man. My ancestors suffered a lot and struggled for
freedom, so I could be here in the Earth. Ghana has a very special importance in the lives of
black people and freedom loving people of the world. Ghana was freed from British
imperialism via the strong efforts of Brothers and Sisters. One great man that led this
movement for social change in Africa was the late great Kwame Nkrumah. He wrote tons of
literature and articulated the vision of an unified, liberated Africa. Before the liberation of
Ghana, British brutalized the people of Ghana. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah rightfully exposed
neocolonialism as just as immoral as overt imperialism too. He said that neocolonialism was
the last stage of imperialism. We should always reject the bourgeois tactic of accommodating
a wicked system. The leader Padmore influenced Nkrumah too. Nkrumah influenced
Lumumba and Sobukwe. The African liberation struggle is international. As Malcolm X said,
African Americans are just as African as an African living in Nigeria. I am an African. RIP
Osagyefo. He worked with the great leader and author C. L. R. James too (he was a great
revolutionary). He helped to organize the Fifth Pan-African Congress. The independence of
Ghana came in March 6, 1957. Many black Americans celebrated Ghanas independence
back in 1957 like Dr. King, A. Philip Randolph, Ralph Bunche, Adam Clayton Powell, etc.
Ghana today has one of the fastest GDP in the world. It has greater economic power than
years ago. It has universal health care too. Life expectancy has increased in Ghana and infant
mortality has decreased in Ghana. All Ghanaian citizens have the right to have access to
primary health care.


There are numerous beautiful architectural structures in Ghana too. Accra is the capital city
of Ghana with over 2 million people living in Accra. One of the most beautiful architecture
images of Ghana is the Independence Square. Independence Square (or Black Star Square) is
a public location in Accra. Accra Sports Stadium and Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park
borders the location. It is the 2
nd
largest city square in the world after Tiananmen Square in
China. It is the location where human beings celebrate via parades Ghanas Independence
Day which occurs on March 6
th
every year. The Independence Square itself has a 30,000
seating capacity. There is the Independence Arch in the location. The Black Star Monument
is the image above. When you look at the black star on top of the monument, it represents
the symbol of African freedom. The same black star is found in the Ghanaian flag. I close by
citing the beautiful words (as found in a 2014 interview that she gave to Vaishna Roy) from
the beautiful, highly intelligent woman Samia Nkrumah. Enjoy. The following words are
from Samia Nkrumahs own heart:
We believe staunchly in pan-Africanism that African countries must plan together,
work together, and bargain together. So we must unite. That includes forging closer relations
not only with Africans within the continent but with the African diaspora, and it also
includes South-South cooperation. That is why we were very big in the 1960s in the Non-
Aligned Movement; that is when our friendship with your country consolidated and grew. So
we believe strongly that yes, the developing world must work together and exchange notes.
Another pillar of our ideology is justice, social justice. We define that as creating
opportunities for everyone, every single Ghanaian. And as meeting the basic social needs of
our people for a happier, more humane society.
The third pillar for CPP is self-determination and self-reliance. That is, we believe that we
can offer (our own) solutions for our problems, for our economy an independent African
development solution rather than accept or pursue prescriptions coming from outside. We
have the competence. Of course we can take advice, but we have competence and we can
forge an independent development path and we must. The challenge is how to do it. But we
must do it so that we can better control our resources, our growth and economy
