Build Where You Stand – Survival

The greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist, established by Afrikan souls, demonstrate their natural norm of optimal and self-determined flourishing.  In this, Afrikan souls did not merely exist, but thrived and built for themselves in superlative fashion. This primary people of creation were able to construct with upright brilliancy wherever they determined themselves to be to etch a plethora of highly civilised examples throughout their continuum.

Unfortunately, in recent centuries, soul people have been subject to the destructive impositions of others that mean the Afrikan ill. In a state of interruption and disruption, for multitudes of Afrikans sheer survival has been the challenge of the day. Faced with a constant barrage of destructive vices and contaminants of ill pushed and peddled by those bent on Afrikan doom, Afrikan souls have been shoehorned into an existence that encourages their exclusive service to others and the total neglect of the norm of constructive effort for themselves.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the word survival is given the following meaning:

“the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances”.

The continuation of Afrikan life, in spite of the destructive ordeal and vile circumstances of imposed disruptions, is imperative, natural and right. Yet still, it also remains imperative for Afrikan souls to build for their optimal ascension beyond the confines of sheer existence imposed by others of ill. As one world famous musical artist inspirationally puts it in verse:  

“How good and how pleasant it would be, before God and man, to see the unification of all Afrikans”.

Whether here, there or elsewhere Afrikan souls can lift themselves to realise who and what they are and restore self-determined constructive and highly civilised living to their lives for their essential upward thrust of rightfully ordered betterment. From whatever station, level or status souls can take positive steps in this regard.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, eloquently articulates the following words of analytical brilliancy with his profound depth of wisdom in relation to self-knowingness and its vital recovery:

“You have to realise that up until 1959 Afrika was dominated by the colonial powers. Having complete control over Afrika, the colonial powers of Europe projected the image of Afrika negatively. They always project Afrika in a negative light: jungle, savages, cannibals, nothing civilised. Why then naturally it was so negative that it was negative to you and me, and you and I began to hate it. We didn’t want anybody telling us anything about Afrika, much less calling us Afrikans. In hating Afrika and in hating Afrikans, we ended up hating ourselves, without even realising it. Because you can’t hate the roots of a tree, and not hate the tree. You can’t hate your origin and not end up hating yourself. You can’t hate Afrika and not hate yourself.

You show me one of these people over here who has been thoroughly brainwashed and has a negative attitude toward Afrika, and I’ll show you one who has a negative attitude toward himself. You can’t have a positive attitude toward yourself and a negative attitude toward Afrika at the same time. To the same degree that your understanding of and attitude towards Afrika becomes positive, you’ll find that your understanding of and attitude toward yourself will also become positive”.

Afrikan souls here, there or elsewhere surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to lift themselves maximally through self-determined construction and development. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
