Afrikan Economic Functioning is Embedded Within Spiritual-Cultural Fabric

Only a highly civilised people can bring forth a highly functioning economy of rightful order. This is why Afrikan souls (the bringers and maintainers of the greatest and most enduring world civilisations) held pioneering and superlative economic functioning as a natural norm of their self-determined lives throughout the ages. To be highly civilised means to be highly cultured. Therefore, economic functioning was no tertiary ‘bolt-on’ life expression. Rather, its functioning was rightfully rooted and energised from the core Afrikan norm of spiritual-cultural fabric. From life values to spiritual ceremonial practice, this primary people of creation empowered their own economic ascension in pinnacle form.

Despite the destructive efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill during the Maafa of recent centuries to derail the natural norm of spiritual-cultural life and optimal Afrikan economic functioning, Afrikans have rightfully missioned to restore themselves to cultured living (civilised living). Hence, observances such as that of Kwanzaa have been brought into being with its value system of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles). One of those principles is the principle of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) that holds the summary meaning: To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together. This is a cultural value restored from the Afrikan continuum in order to be readily accessible and immediately applicable in the now and in time to come.

Further, the formulation of ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way of Kwanzaa) provides a vehicle of spiritual engagement that harmonises and complements with the cultural fabric of Kwanzaa in oneness. The focus areas of 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 – are energised for ascension.  This of course includes economic functioning and allows Afrikan souls throughout the world to restore the natural norm of spiritual and cultural unison and wholesomeness to their lives. Neither, Kwanzaa nor ASBWOK negate any local Afrikan tradition but rather empower unity in the lives of the soul people of the world in oneness of spiritual-cultural reference. This can be illustratively likened to having a local Afrikan language and (say) an additional language such as Kiswahili for discourse in the wider Afrikan sphere. Also, for those who do not otherwise practice a local cultural or spiritual form, Kwanzaa and ASBWOK hold the progressive dynamic of being able to provide such a progressive vehicle for transformation out of such a void.  

All levels of the self are key in this. One such level is that of relations between the Afrikan masculine man and the feminine Afrikan woman for the establishment and flourishing of harmonious and complimentary Afrikan male-female unions. This, as with the other levels of the Afrikan self holds economic functioning rooted in spiritual-cultural fabric. Thus, genuinely unworkable unions ought to be avoided. Also, no Afrikan soul ought to suffer regression into a union of the past that is genuinely unworkable and has necessarily been dissolved. Wholesome and progressive Afrikan male-female unions of rightful order and steeped in self-knowingness are a natural norm and a great boon for thriving Afrikan economy.  

The thrust of Afrikan souls empowered to thrive in oneness of culturally rooted economic functioning cannot be underestimated. This is the stuff of grand civilisation. This is the stuff of global Afrikan ascension. This is the stuff at the core of Afrikan victory economically and otherwise.  

 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:
