Candlepower

The grand light of superlative civilisation has illuminated the world in magnificence from Afrikan people since time immemorial. The energy flow of the divine force of the Universe emanated throughout Afrikan life – truly a blessing of eternal ascendancy. Whenever the magnificent spirit souls of Afrika sought to symbolise the power of the Creator as made manifest through the magnificently lit Sun they could do so with the burning flame. Candlepower expressed this in a profound creative microcosmic form. A form to be placed in whatever relevant space throughout the sphere of spirit life from ritual to insight, foresight or hindsight the flame of the candle is a spark of divine energy flow. The number seven in Afrikan tradition is deeply meaningful representing (amongst much else) ascending transition. Arranging seven candles in unison is a powerful expression of ever rising progressiveness lit with the divine energy. The Kiswahili phrase for seven candles is Mishumaa Saba.

The savage attempts by enemy forces to extinguish the natural flame of Afrikan ascendancy have been unleashed throughout the Maafa. In the most twisted, evil, barbaric and genocidal horror enemy brutes have abused the flame to torture and burn Afrikan people. To the savage barbarian this is ‘fun’, ‘decorating’ their heinous criminal exploits upon Afrikan souls fatally and torturously with tar and feathers. Undiluted evil! Progressive Little Afrika where Afrikans sought to develop and lift themselves in the upper part of the so-called 20th century had their town savagely burnt to the ground as the ruthless enemy unleashed more flame abuse. The instances are many. The vile atrocities continue as Afrikan people are being slaughtered with the foulest psychotic criminality to ever disgrace the world. Evil absolute!

Thankfully,  Afrikan people still know of the beacon of light that they carry and you can hear this echoed in phrases such as, ‘This is lit!’. The power of Afrikan light continues to shine its brilliancy. Afrikan people in ever increasing multitudes are reclaiming their own way of life and protecting themselves against enemy onslaught at all levels. Afrikan people are coming together in their spiritual and cultural  reawakening that will bring about the imperative of righteous order upon Earth.

In the genius flow of creative restoration, Afrikan people have been able to reclaim cultural facets and organically and progressively express candlepower in this time. Hence, Afrikan people are beautifully lifting themselves with the light of eternal energy-flame the colour of the Red. They are beautifully lifting themselves with the light of eternal energy-flame the colour Black. They are beautifully lifting with the light of eternal energy-flame the colour green. And in a wonderful array of seven, Afrikan people are lifting with the light of eternal energy-flame of the Nguzo Saba (seven principles). This is all a part of the spiritual cultural fabric to lift the eternal Afrikan soul – the energy-flame delivered by the Creator is powerful indeed. The candlepower of the Mishumaa Saba gives, lifts and lives.

 A wonderful way to lift the light of Afrikan betterment is for the Afrikan to organise him or herself in an organ working for Afrikan ascendancy.  The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
