Spiritual Yam or the Doctrine of Counter-Cultivation

＂Spirituality is the word used today to describe that which is considered invisible but appeals to the human senses, especially sight, which connects to intuition, since the latter translates the sense of an additional call for meaning. The yam, of course, is a mysterious plant. A portion inserted into the ground transforms into a complete tuber, with the added bonus of multiplication: two or three tubers together, even though only one portion was buried underground.＂ This excerpt is an introduction to the discovery of the knowledge and skills developed by the peoples of the Gulf of Guinea to understand Contracculturation, a philosophical stance of conscious peoples facing a West of destructive desires and fantasies. Putting forward the hypothesis of the doctrine is a bold move to conquer the necessity of the method and fill the theoretical void in the validation of the rationalities, logics, and dynamics of the peoples of Black Africa. Here, for the first time, is revealed the ontology of peoples perceived according to their own postulates, perceptions, perspectives, and recreations.
