The Twi proverb Nyame nwu na m’awu expresses the confidence that “If Nyame-That Which falls in the rain,flashes in lightning,upholds the earth,and is the Source of All-could die,I would die”.The proverb derives from a small,trailing plant that is impossible to completely wipe out.The character of the plant expresses both its biological constitution and the being of That which makes its existence possible,That which shares with the human person a flame that burns perpetually,a flame whose origin is in an Unknown Depth,where the Source of both the human person and the Ground of Being conjoin in a depth BeyondMind.That is Hye Anyha,the Unburnable,a flame from Whom is the centre around which the human being is formed.Onyankopon nkum wo na odasani kum woa,wunwu da “Unless you die of Onyankopon,let living man kill you, and you will not perish”.Onyankopon- the One who is Nameless,whose ancestry does not exist,the Unimaginable One,to whom there is no altar beceause can an altar be made to the ever mobile but invisble wind or to the Hole in the mind which the mind does not know?

Onyankopon,Which stretches from NonTime into NoTime.
