KONGO RELIGION

Creation of the universe

The Bakongo people believe that "The world in its beginning was empty; it was an mbûngi, an empty thing, a cavity, without visible life."[12] Mbûngi (also called mwasi and mpampa) was symbolized as a circle of emptiness. The creator god Nzambi, along with his female counterpart called Nzambici, is believed to have created a spark of fire, called kalûnga, and summoned it inside of mbûngi.[1][13] Kalûnga grew and became a great force of energy inside of mbûngi, creating a mass of fusion. When the mass grew too hot, the heated force caused the mass to break apart and hurl projectiles outside of mbûngi. Those projectiles became individual masses that scattered about, and when the fires cooled, planets formed and life came into existence. The Bakongo believe this was the process Nzambi used to create the universe, with the sun, stars, planets, etc.[3][13] The Bakongo referred to this process as luku lwalamba Nzambi, or "God created and cooked dough."[14] Because of this, kalûnga is seen as the origin of life, or moyo wawo mu nza[15] and a force of motion. The Bakongo believe that life requires constant change and perpetual motion. Nzambi is also referred to as Kalûnga, the god of change.[16] Similarities between the Bakongo belief of kalûnga and the Big Bang Theory have been studied.[17][18] Unlike many other traditional African religions, the creation beliefs of the Bakongo are compatible with creatio ex nihilo.[17


Creation of Earth

Like the creation of the universe, the Bakongo believe that in the beginning, the world was lifeless, circular void of nothingness (or mbûngi). Then Nzambi created a great force of fire (or kalûnga), and filled this empty circle.[19] Kalûnga heated up the contents of mbûngi, and when it cooled, it formed the Earth.[19][1] The Earth, the starting point of the fire, then became a green planet after it went through four stages. The first stage is the emergence of the fire.[20] The second stage is the red stage where the planet is still burning and has not formed.[21][11] The third stage is the grey stage where the planet is cooling, but has not produced life. These planets are naked, dry, and covered with dust.[22] The final stage is green stage is when the planet is fully mature because it breathes and carries life.[23] As the Bakongo believe is part of the universal order, all planets must go through this process[11] in order to achieve completeness, or lunga.[24]

Human creation

The creation of a Bakongo person, or muntu, is also believed to follow the four moments of the Sun, which play a significant role in their development.[1] Musoni is the time when a muntu is conceived both in the spiritual realm and in the womb of a Bakongo woman. Kala is the time when a muntu is born into the physical world. This time is also seen as the rising of the Sun.[25] Tukula is the time of maturity, where a muntu learns to master all aspects of life from spirituality to purpose to personality.[26] The last period of time is luvemba, when a muntu physically dies and enters the spiritual world, or Ku Mpémba, with of the ancestors, or bakulu.[3][27][28] Because Bakongo people have a "dual soul-mind," or mwèla-ngindu, they are able to exist and live in both realms during the different moments of their lives. Even while in Ku Mpémba, a muntu still lives a full life as they prepare for Kala time once again.[29][11] The right side of the body is also believed to be male, while the left side is believed to be female, creating an additional layer to the dual identity of a muntu or Kimuntu, the state of being a human.[30][31]
