Build Where You Stand – Learn

The endless, ageless, incessant and upwardly ascending cycle of learning to build and building to learn, has naturally empowered the lives of Afrikan souls since the earliest of times. Of course, what this primary people have been known for building is the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. If that had been the outcome of brilliancy, then the cycles of learning required and developed had to be of widespread impact amongst these souls and  of the quality of substance able to produce the grand results. In this regard, learning for the Afrikan was the learning of Afrikan civilisation not as an outside observer or relegated to mere trivia. Rather, this was the learning of the practitioner, the builder, the pragmatist of each field to enable fullest flourishing and security of this soul people.  

According to a mainstream source the word learn is detailed to mean to:

“gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught”.

This pioneering people of creation, taught themselves to establish pinnacle civilisation, shone their illuminating light of excellence that is forever etched in the annals of their continuum. However, what of the Afrikan in state of interruption and disruption? The learning ‘afforded’, pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill, surely cannot be for the best interests of Afrikan souls – to state the least. Indeed, it may be learning of a sort laden with intent to shoehorn the Afrikan into exclusively serving the best interest of others, whilst totally neglecting themselves. Further, it could be a vehicle intended to render the Afrikan self-destructive.

Despite disruption, there is no change to the indelible truism of the Afrikans’ superlative ability to effect necessary self-determined learning and apply it to their norm of excellent and highly civilised self-beneficial construction. Here then, the onus is on the Afrikan to recover knowingness of themselves with their richly endowed experience brought to fore for life’s forward and upright engagement.  

If the Afrikan relies exclusively on what others of ill ‘provide’ in terms of teaching, then the results will surely reflect ill-intent. Just as Afrikan souls built to learn and learned to built in throughout the yesteryears of their glorious unfolding, so too they can engage themselves pragmatically in the now and throughout the tomorrows to come. It matters not where soul people are located. Nor, does it matter their station, status or level. These souls can bring about their learning of and for civilisation.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, reminds Afrikan souls, with his profound depth of self-knowingness that, regardless of location, learning to build and building to learn is key when he eloquently articulates the following:

“Your grandfather was Nat Turner, your grandfather was Toussaint l’Overture, your grandfather was Hannibal. Your grandfather was some of the greatest Black people who walked on the face of this earth”.  

Whether the Afrikan is here, there or elsewhere, civilisation learning can be established and life applied accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
