A Beautiful Picture

Words for the marvellous Afrikan soul are beautiful pictures in the articulation of sacred life and the universe. The magnificent spirit ones of Creation create, harness and express the profound tapestry of linguistic form to communicate phenomena as it is expressed from the Afrikan world view for the continual elevation of this special people. Whether through the divine artistic inscriptions on the walls of their architectural genius formation or brilliantly woven as colours, patterning and symbols of their exquisite garments or deep rhythmic vibrations– Afrikans carry an exceptional ability to punctuate life’s upward progression with profound messaging through whatever vehicle. The greatest domain of reference and learning for the Afrikan soul is the sacred universe itself – the natural library who’s architect and curator is the Creator Supreme. From this amazing, limitless repository the Afrikan continually lifts life in the application of what is learned from vast sacred domain. This is the power of spiritual and cultural articulation. One such articulation that emerges from Afrikan genius flow is reflected in a picture of the seven values known as the Nguzo Saba. The Nguzo Saba poster illustrates profound learning and represents cultural foundations for Afrikan ascendancy. The Kiswahili word for poster is bango.

Enemy forces in the devastating period of the Maafa of recent centuries have sought to destroy Afrikan means of wholesome and progressive self-determined communication. The enemy has unleashed an incessant repetitious barrage of anti-Afrikan propaganda to bogusly elevate the enslaving criminal whilst simultaneously inflicting upon the Afrikan psyche an inferiority complex. The vehicles of enemy depravity are many. Whether through the negative imagery conjured up by foreign religious doctrines with the aid of so-called holy scripture, or mis-education and the like have been brutally enforced with the lash of the whip, shackling, chaining, the noose, raping, bogus law making and a bottomless pit of evil genocidal vices. Generation after generation anti-Afrikan propaganda has been a wicked tool of regurgitation, the forms may change but there is nothing new in substance. The enemy thus relies on vulnerability of the effectiveness of the imposed state of Afrikan unknowing.

The beauty and magnificence of the sacred universe is certainly not new but at the same time there is a spirit of rejuvenation or reawakening that abounds. The Afrikan is now replenishing his or her soul through the reclamation of spiritual and cultural facet. In this, the communication of cultural values that become the fabric of life and elevate the soul are important to be made visible and share amongst Afrikans souls themselves. No longer will Afrikans have the images up in their homes that elevate others and denigrate themselves. Powerful images of Afrikan magnificence must surely be commonplace (at least) in the places that Afrikan people control. During cultural celebratory periods greater emphasis can be placed on pictures and imagery of ascendancy, all part of the imperative journey of Afrikan ascendancy. A Bango of the Nguzo Saba is certainly a beautiful picture that can be an important cultivating message conveyor.

 A wonderful way to express important cultivating message in life itself is in the context of an organ working for Afrikan ascendancy.  The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
