The Ancient Path to Inner Growth and Its Modern Distortion

For thousands of years, the wisdom seekers of Kemet (ancient Egypt) explored the true meaning of being human. One of their key symbols was the tekhen—a four-sided stone pillar representing the process of soul evolution. In the legend of Asar (Osiris) and Auset (Isis), the tekhen symbolized a missing part of Asar’s body, holding deep spiritual meaning.

Centuries later, Western civilizations redefined and renamed the tekhen as the "obelisk," stripping it of its original purpose. Many of these sacred structures were taken from Kemet and now stand in major cities like Paris, Rome, and New York.

Language was also reshaped to fit a different worldview. The word "tekhen" was combined with "-ology" (meaning "the study of") to create "technology." In its original sense, tekhen-ology referred to the inner transformation of the soul. But today, technology is solely associated with external advancements—robots, engineering, science, and artificial intelligence. While these innovations have reshaped the world, human nature remains trapped in greed, fear, envy, and hate. Instead of guiding humanity toward enlightenment, modern technology has contributed to war, pollution, and environmental destruction.

The Mother of Humanity® Monument restores the true purpose of the tekhen—the inner evolution of humanity. It offers not just an external symbol, but a guide to help us grow spiritually, aligning who we are with what we create. Through this vision, the Mother of Humanity® presents us with transformative ideas for a more harmonious future. www.motherofhumanity.org

The Mother of Humanity®: A Beacon of Hope Amidst the Flames
By Nijel Binns

As Los Angeles faces another trial by fire, we are reminded of the resilience and unity that this city has shown in times of hardship. The Santa Ana wind-driven wildfires of this January 2025 have devastated entire communities, with Pacific Palisades bearing the brunt of the destruction. In five areas within Los Angeles county, thousands of acres have been reduced to ash, and countless families now face the monumental task of rebuilding their lives. But amidst the chaos and loss, the Mother of Humanity® monument stands as a timeless symbol of hope, healing, and renewal.

Unveiled on May 11, 1996 in Watts, California, the Mother of Humanity® monument was born out of the ashes of another dark chapter in Los Angeles' history. In 1992, just a few years prior, the city had erupted in one of the most devastating riots the nation had ever seen. Fires raged, reducing inner city neighborhoods to rubble, and Los Angeles seemed fractured beyond repair. Yet, in the wake of that destruction, the Mother of Humanity® emerged as a vision for a better future. Conceived by me to embody the principles of peace, unity, and love, the Mother of Humanity® monument has since served as a guiding light for a city that has weathered many storms. At 16 feet tall, the bronze monument sits on a bedrock of granite in the heart of the city of Los Angeles. As the first of seven, it is located at the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC) 10950 S. Central Avenue in Watts.

The symbolism of the Mother of Humanity® resonates deeply today as it did nearly three decades ago. Representing the nurturing spirit of a universal mother, the monument was designed to inspire the values of compassion and community. Her kind and sanguine gaze reflects peace and compassion. She holds a feather of peace, truth and reciprocity high in her right hand. Her left hand is open in a gesture of welcome, calling together all nations on Earth. During this time of the coming age of Aquaria —the water bearer—it carries a message of renewal and transformation. The age of Aquaria looks forward to washing away the old, extinguishing the flames of blame, hatred and sadness, and replacing them with compassion, harmony and understanding. Today, as flames consume parts of our beloved city, the Mother of Humanity® calls upon us to find strength in our shared humanity and to rise above the ashes once more.

The 2025 wildfires are a stark reminder of our vulnerability in the face of nature, but they also present an opportunity to come together as a community. Just as the monument reminds us of the healing power of water, we must draw from its symbolic reservoir of hope to douse the fires of despair. The Mother of Humanity® challenges us to embrace the spirit of giving, to open our hearts to those who have lost everything, and to rebuild not just homes but also the bonds that make us stronger together.

Throughout its history, Los Angeles has been a city of resilience. From the 1992 riots to the Northridge earthquake, to the wildfires and challenges of today, its people have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to rebuild and recover. The Mother of Humanity® monument stands as a testament to this enduring spirit. It reminds us that while the flames may rage, they cannot consume the love, kindness, and unity that define us as a community.

As we look to the future, let the inspiration of the Mother of Humanity® guide our path. Let it inspire us to act with compassion, to support one another, and to create a city where all can thrive. In the face of adversity, we have the power to transform tragedy into triumph, just as we have done before. Together, we can rise from the ashes and rebuild a brighter, more united Los Angeles.

The Mother of Humanity® calls to us now more than ever: to heal, to rebuild, and to hope.
