Divinity in the Contemporary World

Afrikan souls have determined their own way of life and social constructs that work in their best interests throughout the ages. This primary and spirit people of creation have naturally cultivated self-knowingness and applied that knowing in the building of their lives. The greatest and most long-lived civilisations to ever exist have been the result. The qualities of Afrikan masculine manhood and the qualities of Afrikan feminine womanhood in harmonious order establish the foundational basis from which grand ascension can take place. Each soul is developed through spiritually and culturally rooted passage of rite for life’s flourishing within the context of self-governing nationhood. Therefore, aspirations for success, excellence and economic empowerment is thrust that is self-beneficial throughout the various levels of life. For example, success at the person level of the self empowers the nation and the nation empowers the person self. Or, success at the level of the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union empowers the nation and the nation empowers the union. Likewise, reciprocal empowerment applies to the Afrikan family and community in the context of Afrikan self-governance and self-determined nationhood where Afrikan souls hold natural custodianship of their land and its resources, together with determining their own selves as self-beneficial resource, life functioning allows Afrikan economy to flourish. This is in line with classic base definitions of an economy that posit: the resource of land + the resource of the self = economy.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries Afrikan souls have been forcibly severed from base economic functioning. Alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency have sought to completely sever Afrikans from natural custodianship of their own lands. Indeed, multitudes of Afrikan souls have been severed from governance of their own very selves. The substitute of Afrikans toiling exclusively for the benefit of others became the imposed disorder intended as a perpetual mode of disfunction.

Yet, only Afrikan souls can restore themselves to fullest economic flourishing. Whatever else may be deemed compelling, Afrikan souls must surely carve some time for development, cultivation and learning for their own economy to be established. Acquisition and building of wealth together with the establishment of progressive and meaningful relationships amongst Afrikan souls is important engagement. This, in lieu of total land reclamation and self-governance as the greater goal surely bodes well for victorious Afrikan ascension.

There are also challenges to consider such as that of the social ‘standards’ involved in the establishment of relationships that empower successful Afrikan economic functioning. For example, the notion of hypergamy is a popular for many souls in the contemporary world. According to a popular online platform:  

“Hypergamy is a term used in social science for the act or practice of a person marrying a spouse of higher caste or social status than themselves. It is mostly practiced by women”.

Of course, for the Afrikan life in the natural norm of self-governing nationhood is distinct from sheer existence within the domain of disruption. The natural norm of Afrikan society is where living is rooted in self-determined spiritual-cultural fabric out of which the various areas of life expression are successfully realised. Hypergamous activity in the Afrikan context naturally holds living self-knowingness and substance of rightful order for the persons concerned. Afrikan masculine manhood is naturally in place, Afrikan feminine womanhood is naturally in place and whether in male-female union or not in union both naturally work for the benefit of the Afrikan nation and its economy. In a state void of Afrikan nationhood and self-determined economy, surely, hypergamy of progressive substance places value on restoration of living self-knowingness and the thrust for a self-governing Afrikan economy as being core and fundamental. And whilst thehaemorrhagingof the self as a resource for the exclusive benefit of others may build economy - it is building alien economy. Therefore, the importance of Afrikan economic activity for Afrikan self-betterment ought not be underestimated nor avoided. So, if Afrikan souls are compelled to toil for others for whatever reason, then some time and/or resources invested in the development of the economy of self is surely wise. As such, any hypergamy ought not for the Afrikan then reflect the dire trappings of alien-peddled fantasy fiction or delusion in the vital establishment of harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female unions.      

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.
