Without further ado, The OFFICIAL Two Roads Music Video is now available on the Tchiya Amet VEVO youtube Channel!
⠀
Of course it would be released during Mercury Retro and, BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!!! it was actually released on other platforms on January 18, however for some reason, the Universe conspired to release on youtube yesterday….on February 4!!!!
The Lyrics of the song Two Roads are straight from my notes from the book Maat Wisdom and Philosophy by Dr. Muata Ashby ( Sebai Maa). The 2 roads are the path of Ignorance of the Divine (Egoism) & the Path of Wisdom of the Divine ( Intuitional Wisdom, Spiritual Aspiration & the Redemption of the Soul).
⠀
The message of this video is basically to stop begging the colonizers for freedom. We must be Free within Our Hearts & Minds to evoke change. Protesting has made life different, but not better for us. Most people still practice the religion of their oppressors, which is spiritual enslavement. There is no savior or prophet coming back to liberate us. No more Martyrs please. No more of our heroes sheroes being killed. We must LIBERATE OUR MINDS & OURSELVES, Help the Children to do the same, set an example. No one can really free or enlighten anyone else. Cannot save anyone or save the world: IF WE EACH FOCUS ON THE INNER WORLD, we will see change in outer world. We can help each other find tools for enlightenment, however we must do the inner work…FOR OUR SELVES….
⠀
I have watched protests, executions & the corruption of Black & Indigenous leaders for 50 years: MLK was the first assassination I was aware of at age 8. Let’s stop matching & walking and Turn within, turn to Ancestral Ways of Africans & Indigenous Peoples of the Four Directions. Spiritual Enslavement will NEVER lead us to the Freedom & Peace we seek… we are deserving of, OUR INHERITANCE!

The evolution and spiritual awakening of Tchiya Amet is reflected in her Music. The most recent development has been a spiritual reconnection to Kemet, the remembrance of Her Divinity and relationship with the Higher Self. This Music has become a vehicle to carry her and all who listen onwards, to Nehast, Enlightenment, the Great Spiritual Awakening. Hotep!
Perhaps you recall that my Great Grandmother played the Harp, Cello and Piano on a Mississippi River Boat back in the day. As in the late 1800’s. Anabelle Spurlock Gray. One day my grandmother came to visit us in Austin, and while she was there, we had Band Practice. This was in the 90’s. She had no idea that I had become a Reggae Artist! This is when she first told me about her Mother. I had no idea that one of my Maternal Ancestors was a touring musician. That I was following in her footsteps. And now, my daughter is blazing her own musical trail.
Anabelle Spurlock Gray
In 2014, my Spiritual Preceptors, Sebai Maa (Dr. Muata Ashby) and Seba Dja (Dr. Karen Ashby) gifted me with a Ugandan Harp, called an Agundu. At first, I had. no idea what to do. Before long, I was writing songs and recording them. I even travelled to Egypt with that harp. I loved it so much because it had 9 strings for 9 Planets! LOL!! However, on the day of the first Kemetic Music Concert in Chicago. it broke into pieces. It had not been tuning at all for several days, but I thought it would last just one more day. Alas, it did not. I posted the photos, and soon thereafter, an artist named Louis Afrifa reached out to me on facebook. He informed me that although he did not have the Agundu, he made other Kemetic String Instruments that originated in Ghana. I chose the Njarke, the African Cello, and the Seprewa, the Ghanaian Harp. Mr. Afrifa is going to learn how to make an Agundu and make one for me.
The Instruments arrived in time for the Concert. Here are some photos and video clip of their arrival and unveiling.
This is so wonderful because I now have a new friend in Ghana, and perhaps one day, we will play music together on these wonderful instruments. It was/is so exciting to do business with someone there in Africa. And these instruments have me smiling so much these days. I am looking forward to the Concert on Sunday May 19. Rumor has it that I will be playing a few songs with these new instrument. We shall see….

A trip is planned for October. The Initiate will study some of the sites that contain wisdom about Musicians. She will present a concert on the Nile. And she will attend the Celestial Event on October 22 when the Sun shines on Ramses for 22 minutes. This blog post is about the preparations and research for this pilgrimage.
The Ancient Egyptians believed that understanding music was the key to understanding the cosmos. The idea of opposites pervaded all aspects of Egyptian knowledge and the understanding and perception of harmony was believed to be an important experience of understanding ratios and the simultaneity of opposites.
Musical harmonies were based on proportion, and the design of Ancient Egyptian architecture was also based on proportion. Egyptians considered music as a type of geometry translated into sound, and that architectural proportion underlies all harmonies
Egyptians believed in the concept of the ‘infinity of sound’, and divided up the infinity of sound into three distinct categories. Musicians are aware of two forms of sound: regular vibrations (pitch) and random vibrations (noise). Tehuti was the first to recognize a third element – of muting, being the absence of sound. Muting is a common skill employed by professional musicians to contain the sound
Egyptian Harps were used mostly in religious rituals and ceremonies. Musical notes in ancient Egypt were regarded as spiritual elements, and were conceived as independent structural entities. The Egyptian ten string harp was played by priests and it was regarded as a sacred instrument.
Egyptians believed that letters and words were phonetic elements with each individual letter as a picture of its own sound.They believed that individual letters consisted of unique vibrational patterns
this same site had some info on Pythagoras, and stated that he studied in Kemet for 21-23 years.
Pythagoras believed that everything in the universe was related to numbers and mathematics. He believed that all numbers had an important spiritual and holy significance and tht each one carried its own vibration. He saw music the same way that he viewed geometry and mathematics, as a holy, spiritual scientific endeavor, of which a perfect society could be created.
He believed that music should be regarded as a holy science and should never be used for mere entertainment purposes. He recognized music as the unifying principle of Harmonia, which he regarded as a divine principle that brings order to chaos and discord, which is also a reconciliation of opposing principles. Harmonia was one of the main principles of design and creation used in Egyptian architecture.
a very good place to start…

Abu Simbel Temple Festival October 22
The Abu Simbel Sun Festival is a bi-annual event that takes place at the spectacular temple of Ramses II in the south of Egypt. On two days of the year the central chamber of the temple is illuminated by the sun. For a short period of time as the sun perfectly aligns with the usually shrouded interior, light is cast on the seated statues of Ramses II (pharaoh), Ra (sun god) and Amun (king of the gods). Only the statue of Ptah, the god of darkness, remains in the shadows. This event has been taking place for over 3,200 years.
