Throughout the ages Afrikan souls have naturally functioned in
service of their own self-determined economy. In the natural norm of self-governed
nationhood with living steeped in the rightful order of spiritual-cultural fabric
and enriched with deep levels of self-knowingness – the economic functioning of
this soul people was inherent and an embedded norm. It was abnormal and of disorder
for Afrikan souls in their own self-governed rightfulness to somehow escape necessary
economic self-empowerment. Or, for this primary people to strangely adopt a dysfunctional
posture of abandoning the role of economy builder and securer to whatever level
or degree appropriate and best possible in their lives. With the basis of their economy being
themselves and their lands, being void of their own economy would mean that
they themselves and their lands would somehow have to be taken out of the functional
equation.
Alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency throughout the Maafa of recent centuries have attempted to do just that and sever Afrikan souls from their natural norm of economic functioning. Both Afrikan lands and Afrikan people were abominably hijacked. The result could only be economic impoverishment for the Afrikan (at best). Whilst alien forces of ill built ‘economy’ on the basis of that which was looted and forced Afrikan souls to service the alien disorder. Despite abominable alien imposition, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their own economy and rightful order to their lives.
The journey towards the fully flourishing self-determined and self-governed Afrikan economy is extensive and surely an imperative one. Yet, there are important and immediate steps that can be engaged in for the victorious outcome:
The restoration of self-knowingness through active learning whether formally or otherwise. Progressive independent Afrikan World Studies programmes provide opportunity for such study to take place.
The restoration of spiritual-cultural fabric that holds a pragmatic substance for Afrikan life’s engagement and ascension. The cultural fabric provided by Kwanzaa and the harmonising spiritual fabric of ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way Of Kwanzaa) provide readily accessible vehicles for such engagement.
Being a part of an organ where functioning (economic and otherwise) can be energised amongst souls in oneness of mission at whatever relevant and possible level. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is an organ rooted in spiritual-cultural fabric that can provide souls with the opportunity for ordered collective ascension.
Of course, Afrikan souls (even if subject to foreign ‘economic’ constructs and means) can continue to generate wealth for themselves as best as it is possible to do in lieu of fully flourishing economy. Though money is different to economy, currency expressed from alien functioning can be an important tool on the road to recovery from impoverishment of economy.
Throughout these various examples relationships are key. The establishment of wholesome relationships between Afrikan souls is natural fabric of economic empowerment. Indeed, relations allow each level of the self to exist as well as carry out their respective roles as Afrikan economy builders and securers at whatever possible level. In this the self of the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union is key. Despite the efforts of alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency peddling and pushing vices of ill to derail or destroy Afrikan male-female union, Afrikans must establish rightful order for themselves. The Afrikan masculine man and Afrikan feminine woman in union can provide wholesome foundation for growth in familyhood, community, nationhood and so on. As such, Afrikan souls ought not suffer a union that is genuinely unworkable. Nor, be shoe-horned to suffer the regression of genuinely unworkable union of the past that has been necessarily dissolved. The establishment of workable and wholesome male-female unions are a great boon to Afrikan life and economy. To recall that Afrikan economy services Afrikan civilisation is surely acknowledgement of mission-compelling duty and responsibility.
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.
