The shrine of self is spiritual conception of the
precious sacredness of the Afrikan self throughout its various levels. It is
qualified with the descriptor of living to emphasise that the levels are functional
organs that require due cultivation, development, security and rightful expression.
For this spirit and primary people of creation such spiritual conception is a core
feature of rooted spiritual-cultural fabric of oneness. This is so, as this
soul people share profound and deeply meaningful substance of oneness and holds
inheritance of the most naturally endowed and most enduring continuum of any
people. Therefore, the spiritual conception of the living shrine of self, far
from being a vehicle to engage in fantasy fiction or to otherwise escape reality,
it is empowerment for pragmatic engagement. It energises the Afrikan realise
self-preciousness, to be at one with the Afrikan continuum through the
essential of self-knowingness of the spiritual and otherwise for the
application of the self in Afrikan ascension (amongst much else). In punctuating self-determined effort in this
regard, sacred shrine space is a vital part of spiritual grammar. Here, the
Afrikan establishes and makes use of shrine space as havens of spiritual focus
for ascension throughout the levels of the self. In this, there is no precious
space established by the Afrikan, and the Afrikan not be precious of self. Here,
shrine space is an outward symbolic representation of the sacredness of the
Afrikan self.
With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to deny the natural norm of Afrikan self-determined spiritual-cultural conception and living. Bogus misrepresentations, maligning, demonising, infiltrating, misdirecting and falsifying are amongst the battery of strategies deployed by alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency to thwart the Afrikan way. Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their spiritual conceptions and live accordingly whilst necessarily safeguarding themselves from alien imposition.
This is why the process of creative restoration is key. For spiritual and cultural fabric ought to hold as a part of its feature set the qualities to energise optimal functioning with the inclusion of necessary facets of security to safeguard Afrikan life in the now and in time to come. Therefore, the living shrine of self is a conception of preciousness and at the same time empowering the imperative means by which that self of preciousness is protected.
An organ such as that of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation emphasises and celebrates the living shrine of self and shrine space during the wonderful observance period of Kimungu Madhabahuni (Divine Shrine) that takes place during the holiday period denoted by the spring equinox.
Also, with the spiritual formulation of ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way Of Kwanzaa) the living shrine of self holds levels of spiritual focus. The levels of the self within ASBWOK can be highlighted thus:
The person self (for Afrikan masculine manhood) or (for Afrikan feminine womanhood)
The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union
The Afrikan family
The Afrikan community
The Afrikan nation
The Afrikan world community
Just as the self has its levels of functioning, so too is shrine space operational at various levels. In this, shrine space can be established within the home, wider communal places, at national levels and so on.
Kimungu Madhabahuni is a time of year to celebrate the Afrikan shrine at home and beyond. Kimungu Madhabahuni takes place during the holiday period associated with the spring equinox. At this time many people are away from the mundane of the various institutions albeit largely as a dictate of presently popular foreign religious doctrine. This therefore, can allow many more Afrikan people the time and space to restore, elevate and be themselves freely in reverence at their own special places.Throughout the annual cycle of the spiritual and cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation observance to observance, Afrikan life is endowed with the essential of living knowingness. For the Afrikan souls, being a part of an organ for mission ascendancy is key. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is a spiritually and culturally rooted organ for Afrikan ascension.
