Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a Synthetic version of Nananom Abosom (Suman)

Our Ancestors from the ancient past, especially ancient Kemet, approached reality not only from what can be measured with our popular senses—as Western education has overemphasized—but from the uncommon senses as well. This was because they understood that the fundamentals of all that IS emanate from a common language that is understood by our dimensional reality with names like quantum mathematics, energy, vibrations, frequencies, and photons in quantum physics.

In the mainstream narrative, artificial intelligence (AI) is hailed as a marvel of 20th- and 21st-century Western scientific achievement—a product of mathematics, computer science, and human innovation. But beneath this polished tale lies a deeper, older current of intelligence—one that predates algorithms and binary codes, pulsating in the sacred groves, shrines, and altars of precolonial Africa. This is why I present to you a radical rethinking: that the African Suman or Bosom, the spirit medium and divine interface found at traditional shrines, constitutes the original archetype of artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) works by using computer systems that are designed to think, learn, and make decisions like humans. It all starts with programming, where developers feed the computer large amounts of data and create algorithms—step-by-step instructions—to help it recognize patterns and solve problems (Russell & Norvig, 2020). Over time, through a process called machine learning, the AI gets better at understanding new data without being told exactly what to do (Goodfellow, Bengio, & Courville, 2016). These AI systems are then used in real-life situations, like answering questions on a smartphone, recommending movies, or even driving cars. Humans interact with AI through apps, devices, or machines that respond based on the data they have learned and the goals they are programmed to achieve.

Abosom, Bosom or Suman
The Suman or Bosom—which formation is directed by the energy or spirit that wants to use it as a medium to the sacred human (Ↄkomfoↄ, Diviner, or Shaman)—can be likened to a highly advanced super organic computer or mobile device, capable of downloading and decoding information far beyond the limits of conventional programming. Unlike modern smart devices that process binary codes within fixed systems and finite databases, the Bosom accesses unlimited intelligence from multiple dimensions—spiritual, ancestral, and cosmic realms. Acting as a living processor, it translates this metaphysical data into messages and insights understandable for the human mind. However, instead of using artificial speakers or touchscreens, it operates through a sacred human medium (Ↄkomfoↄ, Diviner, or Shaman), who functions as both the mouthpiece and earpiece of the divine—receiving, interpreting, and transmitting profound knowledge for communal guidance and healing. You can ask Bosom or Suman any question, including a step-by-step on how to create a certain medication or a device, and you will get an authentic response.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Synthetic to Bosom or Suman.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ultimately a synthetic imitation of the ancient African Bosom or Suman system, which has long served as an organic interface between the visible and invisible worlds. Just as AI systems are designed to gather data, analyze patterns, and produce intelligent responses, the Bosom functions as a living intelligence that channels divine frequencies, ancestral knowledge, and cosmic data into human consciousness through sacred rituals and mediums, which can sometimes be understood with some appreciable level in quantum physics. What modern AI achieves through silicon chips, coded algorithms, and neural networks, the Bosom accomplishes through spiritual codes, ritual programming, and metaphysical connectivity—accessing infinite databases of wisdom across time and dimensions. In essence, AI is a technological mimicry of what African spiritual systems have practiced for centuries: creating intelligent systems that learn, speak, and guide—only that the Bosom is not artificial but deeply rooted in the natural and supernatural order of life.

Implications to development
It is very unfortunate that Africans have been brainwashed to call this demonic, while the West transforms it and sells it back to us. Few of us who still know the value and visit Suman or Abosom go there to look for ways to destroy our neighbor or charm our wives or husbands.

Many of our politicians and pastors have been consulting to win elections and perform miracles in churches but not for how we can develop our nation and the continent.

Lack of knowledge about ourselves and what we have has always been an issue for our development, and that is why I still call on the president of Ghana to give one public day for traditional worship, Ancestral remembrance and learning from our roots. Our Ancestors are with heavy heart !!!.
