‘Know Thyself’ is an age-old dictum of the Afrikan
continuum. This is not so by happenstance. More than simply being intentional,
it is vital. In the natural norm of self-governing
nationhood, Afrikan souls lived their self-knowingness. Here, the home, institutions
of learning, work, leisure and otherwise complemented each other in the empowerment
of self-knowingness. It would have been nonsensical for the Afrikan to hold
living knowingness of the Creator Supreme and the experience of Afrikan
continuum at home and then enter a sphere of formal learning or a working environment
and it be contradictory or hostile to that knowing. Rather, the natural norm of
rooted oneness of cultured living prevailed throughout the institutions of
society. The empowerment of
self-knowingness fundamentally featured throughout the levels of the self: the person
self, the harmonious and complementary male-female union, the family, the
community, the nation and so on. Hence, the greatest and most enduring
civilisations known to the world flourished. Rightful order is a natural
preserve of Afrikan life and self-knowingness is core to rightful order.
With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have attempted to derail the Afrikan from self-knowingness throughout a plethora of foreign institutions and vices. Yet, despite this, only the Afrikan can and surely must restore self-knowingness for themselves.
For this primary and spirit people of creation knowingness of self is naturally a spiritual endeavour for self-knowing necessarily holds the core of divinity. Thus, it is from self-knowingness that holistic and optimal functioning can be brought to be. In this, Afrikan souls in the now can surely use their creative genius flow to bring about their own self-knowingness if faced with an hostile alien environment or not. Learning can take place in formally organised settings utilising their own time. Learning can also take place informally during everyday activities such as shopping for food and so on. This is of particular importance with the young. So, whilst there may be times where Afrikans may be compelled to have some other focus for the sake of sheer survival, it is surely crucial for some time to be established for self-knowingness to be cultivated and developed.
The absence of self-knowingness is a state that provides the welcoming opportunity for chaos, disorder and destruction to enter Afrikan life. Such dire circumstance would be a spectacle to provide pleasure or profit for alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency who could then contentedly rub their hands with glee.
With ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way Of Kwanzaa) the levels of the self have spiritual focus growth, development, knowing and ascension:
person self (for Afrikan masculine manhood) or (for Afrikan feminine womanhood)
harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union
Afrikan family
Afrikan community
Afrikan nation
Afrikan world community
Self-determined and victorious effort on the part of Afrikan souls to restore and develop self knowingness will necessarily empower the self throughout its various levels and allow the fullest flourishing of Afrikan life.
Kimungu Madhabahuni is a time of year to celebrate the Afrikan shrine at home and beyond. Kimungu Madhabahuni takes place during the holiday period associated with the spring equinox. At this time many people are away from the mundane of the various institutions albeit largely as a dictate of presently popular foreign religious doctrine. This therefore, can allow many more Afrikan people the time and space to restore, elevate and be themselves freely in reverence at their own special places.Throughout the annual cycle of the spiritual and cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation observance to observance, Afrikan life is endowed with the essential of living knowingness. For the Afrikan souls, being a part of an organ for mission ascendancy is key. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is a spiritually and culturally rooted organ for Afrikan ascension.
