MUST HAVE: THE KEMETIC DIET

Dja Clarke-Ashby and Muata Ashby designed the cover for this book. It was developed withthe idea of pictorially conveying the main concepts of the Kemetic Diet, an African(Kemetic-Ancient Egyptian) based Integral Lifestyle Enhancement Program (ABILEP),which relates to nourishment for the body, mind and soul. There are different groups of ve-getarian food items that form the shape of a circle, like a plate. These items constitute the proper food for the body. Within the circle there are three Kemetic symbols. The symbol inthe center, surrounded by the map of Africa, is the Ankh, meaning “Life Process.” To the leftof the Ankh is a small strip of Papyrus paper with an Ancient Egyptian Proverbian Proverb”written in hieroglyphic text. It means “feed the mind what endures,” i.e. wisdom of life. Tothe right of the Ankh is the Eye of Heru, known as the “Divine Food Offering” or KemeticEucharist. This is food for the soul because it requires spiritual enlightenment. All together,these symbolize that life (Ankh) and health result when these three aspects of the constitutionof a human being are fed the proper nourishment. They constitute a full meal for every hu-man being, food for the body, food for the mind and food for the soul.
