Cultivate Throughout the Seasons and Celebrate the Harvest

Celebrating the Harvest of Afrikan Life Ascension

Throughout the ages Afrikan souls have engaged in self-determined ascension in superlative ways of rightful order. Annual celebrations recognised the fruitful bounty produced as well as the efforts brought forth to realise the successful yield. In other words, Afrikan souls celebrated the development and produce for the uplift of themselves. Of course, the grand celebration of the agricultural harvest is a mainstay example. Yet, the harvest of the yield as it relates directly to the various levels of the self is also the stuff of grand celebration (potentially more so). For, without cultivation and development of the self then the outward expressions of life’s engagement could be rendered into a less-than ordered state.

As with an agricultural cycle where the various seasons of the year require that specific activities take place in order to bring forth a successfully cultivated crop for a bountiful harvest, so too can seasonal cultivation take place with the Afrikan self. Here, season by season of self-determined cultural engagement can bring about the development of the aspect of the self that reflects each given season. Any one season of isolated engagement does not yield the results that the combined activity of each season throughout the annual cycle successfully brings. The annual cycle of seasonal engagement can then culminate in a time period to celebrate the harvest of all-year-round effort.

Of course, the harvest celebration time is not distinct from the other seasons, nor are the other seasons distinct from each other. They simply present the conditions appropriate for particular types of cultivation and development to occur. As such, the harvest season that celebrates the efforts made throughout all of the season will naturally reflect elements of those seasons as the results of each respective set of activities are culminate in jubilance.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to destroy Afrikan self-cultivation. Self-determined seasonal cultivation has been set upon and for many souls replaced with a barrage of psuedo-cultural vices of ill. Amongst these vices are the contaminant ills of misandry, misogyny, feminism and the thrust for a gynocracy. These must surely be safeguarded against and the only souls that can do this are Afrikan themselves. If such vices are left to fester then seasons can become overrun with the strangulating weeds of destruction.

For example, if Afrikan souls determine a season for honouring their own history and it becomes infested with (say) misandry, feminism and the thrust for a gynocracy then anti-Afrikan propaganda derailing memory of the upright Afrikan masculine man and the rightful Afrikan feminine woman may be brought to the fore. Any culminating harvest celebration that follows will surely also suffer the same fate as it celebrates what is produced by previous seasons in the year. It is therefore important that Afrikan souls empower themselves in the best ways possible, including the establishment of new relationships such as intimate ones where genuinely unworkable ones have been necessarily relinquished. Of course, new formations with the potential for upright longevity ought not be hindered by ill-consumed souls bent on regression.

Wonderfully, Afrikan souls have made great efforts to restore celebration of the cultural harvest. Here, the brilliant observance of Kwanzaa brought forth through the pioneering efforts of the Us organ represents the cultural harvest celebration for Afrikan souls throughout the world in a powerful way. Kwanzaa is a seven day season that begins on December 26th.  It holds an array of deeply meaningful symbols and an empowering set of values known as the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles). This important time of year surely ought to be safeguarded from alien ills as it lifts Afrikan souls in joyous celebration of all-year-round progress made.

There are Afrikan souls who adhere to a formalised cultural observance pattern of cultivation and development throughout the annual cycle. For example, the observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation holds ten observance periods of which Kwanzaa is an important part. Here, the efforts made throughout the other nine cultivation seasons is what provides the self-produce to celebrate as bountiful harvest during Kwanzaa time.    

Whilst others that mean the Afrikan ill may consider it an affront for Afrikan souls to engage in self-determined cultured living and seek to destroy, malign or derail it, Afrikan souls continue to mission on in the best ways possible as rightful order must prevail. Indeed, consumed or overwhelmed with the vices of contaminant ills disorder and destruction are sure to be the outcome that attracts the glee of alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency.

The primary and spirit people of creation are naturally builders of pinnacle civilisation. This soul people wonderfully have ready access to the Kwanzaa observance wherever in the world they are and from its values and substance can empower the levels of the self. The levels of the self can be detailed as follows:

 The person self (whether as  or boy growing into an Afrikan masculine man; or as or girl growing into an Afrikan feminine woman­)

The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union

The Afrikan family

The Afrikan community

The Afrikan nation

The Afrikan world community
