Build Where You Stand – Safeguarded

It is one thing to have the impetus to build – and certainly Afrikan souls have demonstrated self-determined building excellence throughout the ages. It is another thing to secure essential building process and constructions themselves. Throughout the times where Afrikan souls were living their norm of pinnacle civilisation safeguarding themselves from outside invaders necessarily had to be factored into their growth, development and flourishing to sustain themselves and their longevity. Some of the safeguarding efforts were more successful than others. Yet, it would surely have been known to this primary people of creation that any state of being void of any measure of security would be an open invitation to destruction.

A contemporary mainstream source offers the following definition for the word safeguarded:

“protect from harm or damage with an appropriate measure”.

The necessary thrust for Afrikan souls to build for themselves is natural and whether that is the building of the upright and functional person self; the building of wholesome and meaningful relationships or the construction of necessary establishments to service the ascension and flourishing of this soul people – security must surely be factored throughout their life’s journeying always.

In a state of interruption and disruption safeguarding for Afrikan souls may necessarily have to take on a level of importance that is greater than that which was considered the norm of yesteryear. The oftentimes intimately destructive vices of imposition pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill can negatively affect existence in a host of ways. In addition, souls may become self-destructive - each to the next - by proxy. Here, the constructing of necessary Afrikan relationships, organisation, establishments and so on can suffer in potent ways by proxy when wrongdoing and wilfully destructive behaviours is expressed via an ‘Afrikan’ form.  

For some, the negative imposition and expression can be erroneously deemed to be some sort of ‘norm’. Twistedly and steeped in unknowingness of self, the act of safeguarding can take on the grotesque form of securing the negativity of the degrading pseudo-norm. In this, the wholesome imperative of Afrikan ascension can become skewedly viewed as the ‘enemy’.

With the conditions of disruption at play, Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to lift themselves in self-knowingness, cultured living and exercise levels of protection from harm or damage by taking appropriate upright measures.

The great hero Omowale Malcom X with mission-compelling insight and wisdom articulates the following:

“believe in asserting our right of self-defence – by any means necessary”.

Of course, for Afrikan souls to defend their civilisation or civilised way of living and construction it must be brought into fruition. At the same time, the processes of construction also necessarily require a level of safeguarding to be in place. In so doing, the Afrikan can establish nodes of strength in whatever location they are, that empowers their whole self to bolster their security. Hence, Afrikan souls do themselves a great service in reclaiming and exercising their building acumen wherever they stand and from whatever station, level or status they may operate. The construction and construct of civilisation is not of happenstance and is to be safeguarded.
