A Look Into the Mirror of Self with the Question, Am I In Any Way Helping to Build the Afrikan Economy? Can Surely Be a Great Boon

Divinity in the Contemporary World

Afrikan souls are naturally a self-determining and self-governing people who are rightful custodians of their own abundant lands. With natural resources of superlative wealth, Afrikan souls have built and sustained the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. With the plethora of life institutions constructed in their norm of self-governance, the efforts and progressive strides of Afrikan souls throughout the various levels of the self inherently empower and service Afrikan economy. From harnessing the natural resources of the soil to industry and trade, Afrikan souls shone their light of economic brilliancy.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls have been set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill in destructive ways (economically and otherwise). The imposed substitute of alien ‘economic’ functioning attempts to render the Afrikan as its perpetual resource (self and land).  Up until the present is the posture of foreign forces on Afrikan soil one of:

‘You were invaded to toil in exclusive service of alien ‘economy’ and toil exclusively for it you must’?

Or, up until the present is the posture of foreign forces for Afrikans in the Americas, Europe, the Islands and elsewhere in the world one of:

You were brought or encouraged here to toil in exclusive service of alien ‘economy’ and toil exclusively for it you must’?

Whatever the case, surely the Afrikan with the imperative restoration of self-knowingness has the sense of being enough to ask economy questions for self. At the basic level one may look into the mirror of self and ask of life’s endeavours. ‘Am I helping to build the Afrikan economy in any way?’. With genuine honesty the Afrikan can surely answer in the positive application of the self. This is no fantastical fictional magic wand of absolute and instant transformation. Yet, every progressive step determined by each Afrikan soul at whatever appropriate level and is best possible given relevant circumstance can be a great boon in the onward journey of ascension.

In this, the various levels of the self have key functioning: the Afrikan person self; the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union; the Afrikan family; the Afrikan community; the Afrikan nation; and the Afrikan world community. Whatever may be deemed compelling in servicing alien economy surely the Afrikan can take some time and some effort to service and build for themselves. Indeed, Afrikan economy does not come to be through happenstance. Just as the functional relations at its core are naturally self-determined. For example, the harmonious and complementary male-female union can be a highly empowering unit of economic progression. Surely then its basis for being cannot solely rest on any alien notion of ‘You were invaded to toil in exclusive service of alien ‘economy’ and toil exclusively for it you must’ nor ‘You were brought or encouraged here to toil in exclusive service of alien ‘economy’ and toil exclusively for it you must’. Rather, Afrikan souls can surely define, establish and flourish in harmonious male-female unions necessarily of their own determination and wholesome substance for ascension.  Here, no Afrikan ought to suffer in a genuinely unworkable union. Nor suffer regression of a previous union that is genuinely unworkable  and has necessarily been dissolved. The self-determined establishment of wholesome male-female unions of harmonious complementarity of rightful order can be of great economic empowerment.

Self-knowingness is key.  

With ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way Of Kwanzaa), living self-knowingness throughout the various levels of the self is empowered. Here, the thrust for Afrikan economy is inherently energised as each level of the self holds wider functional responsibility to the other levels of the self. In this, the levels of the self are not mutually exclusive but rather share oneness of substance for the imperative thrust of Afrikan ascension. With ASBWOK the levels of the self can be highlighted as:

The person self (for Afrikan masculine manhood) or (for Afrikan feminine womanhood)

The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union

The Afrikan family

The Afrikan community

The Afrikan nation

The  Afrikan world community

Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
