Celebrating the Harvest of Afrikan Life Ascension

Afrikan souls, the pioneers of
culture and civilisation, naturally express themselves according to the rooted
core substance of their lives. To have established the greatest and most enduring
civilisations ever to exist, this primary people of creation this core
substance necessarily held the self-determined values of rightful order and ascension.
Thus, throughout the ages magnificent life expression was simply the outward representation
of the core fabric lived. This goes a long way to explain why culture and civilisation
are one. It also highlights that outward life expressions are not a detached
nor an isolated phenomena but naturally a part of life’s wholesome connectedness.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to destroy Afrikan life at its cultured core during the Maafa of recent centuries. Physical attack has been overt and often obvious. But there has also been the pushing and peddling of alien contaminants of ill such as that of misandry, misogyny, feminism and the thrust for gynocracy. Were these and other ills intended to become more than the means of destruction? Were these and other ills intended to replace rightful Afrikan self-determined order and become a core of disordered existence? Well, a cursory examination of some of the popular imagery of would-be Afrikan cultural expression and symbology in (for example) mainstream modern films or across social media may well provide some clear, and at the same time, undesirable answers.
Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their own cultural fabric with self-determined values of rightful order from which upright expression can come. Wonderfully, Afrikan souls have made great and pioneering effort in the restoration of their own culture. An outstanding example of this is through the establishment of the brilliant observance of Kwanzaa with its progressive and rooted value system and deeply meaningful symbol set brought forth by the Us organ.
Readily accessible to the Afrikan world community, this observance is celebrated by vast multitudes and is a firm part of Afrikan cultured living. As such, its powerful and empowering symbol set is an important part of the self-image at the level of oneness for Afrikan souls globally. Just as wholesome and upright expressions that reflect the value system of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) are also a part of Afrikan self-image at the same world level.
Of course, alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency may attempt to demonise, malign or otherwise hurl contempt at rightfully cultured Afrikan self-image, its symbols or expressions directly or by proxy. Hence, it is worthy to be aware of alien contaminants of ill and the safeguard from them accordingly. Hence, divorcing alien pseudo culture is key. However, the imperative and central thrust of Afrikan ascension ought not lose its primary beingness in the lives of this soul people throughout the various levels of the self:
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
Afrikan souls are the primary people of creation and are not here in the world to be the childlike fodder of any other people subject to ills, disuse and abuse. The folly of alien ill sentiment that may exist such as, 'How Dare You Ascend with the Natural Cultural Norm of Self-Determined Organisation', must surely be met with rightful Afrikan cultured order and ascension.
