The Self

I'm Nai Krasumashi Wyetey, a creative philosopher. The instruments I work with are personal first: ways of examining self, lineage, and meaning. They tend to be useful in strategic rooms.

The Honosis Manuscript

What I came to discover of myself led to the Honosis Manuscript: A Personal Knowing of Being. Ho (self, as in wo'ho, yourself in Akan/Twi) and Gnosis (knowing, from Greek) together form Honosis: a self-knowing, a personal gnosis, knowledge arrived at through the practice of examining one's Kra (which carries one's nkrabea). In practice, it is an examination of my Kra to reveal my nkrabea and guide its expression from inward, outward. If authenticity is the truest frequency a person can hold, Honosis is how I tune to it. It is a self-service framework by design: it takes the shape of whoever adopts it.

Krasumashi

In Akan cosmological thought, for the self to arrive, the three aspects of the Kra (Kra, Sunsum, and Honhom) must hold in coherent alignment. On that premise I composed my name, “Krasumashi” (me kra ne me sunsum Kwashie): a self-appellation, a reminder of coherent becoming, a ground for my being and my work.

Past Work

Recent work includes the Honosis Manuscript; the PPAC concept paper, a preprint proposing a peel-derived ablative composite for spacecraft reentry; and Piqabu, a privacy-first ephemeral messaging platform. Earlier: he designed and built the creative and narrative infrastructure for The Youth Friendly Standards, and developed brand systems for both concept-stage and fully formed ventures.

Currently Becoming

He is currently building AhTohMoh, a creative research and experimentation agency. Alongside the agency, he continues “The Projected Self: Healing Through Work,” a personal creative project and chapter in a life-long study of the self as he lives and expresses it.

Roots

As for roots: he is a direct descendant of King Wyetey I, of the royal Dode family, from the people of Awutu Bereku, Ghana.
