Celebration of First Fruits

For the primary and most magnificent people of Creation there are an endless array of pioneering and marvellous firsts that have been gifted by the Ultimative Divine. The wonderful celebration of Kwanzaa victoriously lives in the now by way of the unique and superlative self-determined spiritual and cultural journeying of this special people. To embark upon the celebration for the first time is an absolute blessing, for this can open the door to more blessed ascension onwardly. It matters not at what stage in life such a blessing manifests itself, whether for the very young or for the most senior. Embracing the wonderful celebration of Kwanzaa is progressive celebration of the Afrikan self. For many, even in its newness to their lives it is familiar and fertile ground. In this sense, the divine inner self knows and recognises its natural way of living. The following account from the published works of an Afrikan author, highlights the commencement of the journey into Kwanzaa and of its familiarity:
“I am a newcomer to the holiday of Kwanzaa, but when I look at the holiday, I realise that I’ve been celebrating it all my adult life in my own personal way. I’ve been out of sync, but I’ve been in the spirit. My personal celebration has taken place on only one of the days of the holiday: January 1. On that day, I open my home to friends old and new, to relatives, and to new acquaintances whose spirits speak to me. Over the eighteen or so years that its been held, the gathering has grown from a few friends who were invited over to meet my parents to a gathering of fifty or more individuals from around the world.”
Surely, as more and more Afrikans harness the strengths of Afrikaness that they already have and lift themselves to ever greater heights with the progressive fabric of Kwanzaa, the global Afrikan rise is powerfully and continually energised. Kwanzaa is an important part of the Afrikan spiritual and cultural annual cycle. Afrikan people are exceedingly well endowed with the creative restoration of this observance tradition that they have practiced from the earliest of times.
If the Kwanzaa celebration newly enters the life of any Afrikan, that Afrikan can immediately walk with the grand inheritance of the pioneering light of cultural excellence within his or her sphere. This is the light that has come through the generations age to age and will surely continue to lift the Afrikan soul into eternity. This is the light of living, expressing and asserting the Afrikan way. The best way for the Afrikan to be.
