Build Where You Stand – Influence  

Imagine for a moment the power that Afrikan souls had throughout the ages of their self-determined norm to influence themselves in the furtherance of high civilisation. Imagine the influential wisdom, guidance and example of each generation to next effecting continual upright construction. Imagine the various, necessary and influential establishments of their organisational prowess engaged to produce ever-greater and progressive outcomes of rightful order amongst themselves. Imagine the abundance of positive roles cultivated and expressed throughout society to influence the growth, development and ascension for those within their remit. Imagine if all such influences were not bound to any singular geographical locale, yet were brought to the fore wherever this soul people determined themselves to be.  Whilst imagination has its role and may provide some initial sense of things in this regard, it need not be the substitute for experiential knowing of themselves, for this primary people of creation certainly influenced themselves to produce the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the word influence carries the following meaning:

“the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behaviour of someone or something, or the effect itself”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption, the positive influences for upright construction amongst Afrikan souls can be set upon in a host of destructive ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Anti-Afrikan propaganda is one destructive vice. Of course, if destructive vices and contaminants of ill take hold amongst this primary people of creation, then they may end up becoming the influencers of self-destruction and project ills unto themselves by proxy. Negative influence can be proliferated amongst Afrikan souls in the modern world without geographical bounds and with an immediacy facilitated by communications technologies made available. In this, the technologies, despite any façade of universality, are mediators with algorithms and other promotion or controlling features reflective of their ownership and directive handlers.

As Afrikan souls necessarily restore their self-knowingness and their cultured living then, tools and technologies can be used for their designated worth as the imperative thrust of upright Afrikan ascension is realised. Surely Afrikan souls can re-energise their progressive influential know-how amongst themselves to again build superlatively whether here, there or elsewhere and from whatever station, level or status such influence can be expressed. Indeed, grand civilisation awaits its builders to put their shoulders to the wheel of its realisation.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X in his illustrious wisdom and exceptional insight into the condition of Afrikan souls shares with his people the following mission-compelling words:

“you have to have a multiple program, a many-pronged program…It takes a many-pronged program to get this problem solved”.

There are a multiplicity of ways in which Afrikan souls can constructively influence themselves to empower their maximal potential and maximal capabilities being brought to the fore. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
