First Sun-Day of the Month

The most ancient and most profound cosmology in the world is that of the Afrikan. Since time immemorial Afrikans have had the wonderful ability to maximally energise themselves with the power of spirit flow. Spiritual concepts have been conceived and utilised for truth to be realised and for knowing at the deepest levels to transcend generations into eternity. In Afrikan tradition the Creator is manifest in different ways and one of the most powerful is the manifestation through the Sun. In the spiritual science of the ancient Nile valley ancestors the solar manifestation of the Creator is named Ra.  The same name is used to represent day. Thus every day is of the Creator with the cycles of Creation naturally evident to behold. However, there were monthly celebration cycles to honour Ra. Accordingly, ‘Sunday, the day of Ra, is a survival of the festival celebrated on the 15th of the month in ancient Egypt as the sun’s day, or Sunday, once a month’.

Despite the wicked onslaught of the Maafa (Great disaster) of recent times Afrikan people are firmly rooted on the path of gaining ever-more traction to total self-reclamation. As this progressive momentum continues to grow oneness with the Supreme force of universe will surely become magnificently abundant. As such, the Supreme Royal Emperor Marcus Mosiah Garvey, founder and leader of the most prolific example of organising Afrikans worldwide (to date), made grand and effective use of the day of the monthly Ra tradition of the ancients in the divine thrust for liberty and nationhood: ‘The movement possessed its own meeting halls, its own order of worship as set forth in the Ritual, its distinctive set of beliefs, and even special holidays of its own creation…Garveyites sponsored Marcus Garvey Days, usually on the first Sunday of the month’. These days were rich with spirit and energising traction in the mission for the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty and nationhood.

With the organic flow of time and spiritual-cultural fabric since ancient times the Afrikan soul continues to rise. Disruption has imposed the debris of foreign language, the modern-day calendar and much by way of the other functioning alien to the Afrikan.  Out of this detrimental imposition, the powerful Garvey movement firmly established the first Sunday of the month as a day to give continual strength to the imperative mission for Afrikan ascendancy. As Afrikan people continue to lift the torch of liberty toward ultimate victory, this is surely one of the very important calendar cycles that can become a feature of life throughout the Afrikan world.

Afrikan people hold a unique intimacy with the Creator and being blessed and energised by the life giving power of the sun is a staple truism of the ages. Amongst much else of life-giving and life-sustaining substance, the Sun is a natural form of vitamin D vitality harmonising with that most beautiful and illustrious melanin dominated people. Onlookers from other races have been so awestruck (even with criminal or otherwise wicked intent) with this abundant melanin flow that they have described the melanin form with terms such as Ethiopia – a Greek term meaning burnt faces. Or Bilad es Sudan – an Arab term meaning land of the Blacks. It truly is magnificent to be blessed (or kissed) by the Creator as made manifest via the Sun.

Let the Afrikan soul celebration of self and of divine ascendancy continue to flow into eternity. With the Creator, their Great Ancestors and their exceptional natural genius the spirit ones of the sun must ascend unabated. These great ones must be free from the bondage and genocide imposed by anti-Afrikan agency and vow never to return to such subjugation.

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural organ for Afrikan ascendancy. The Garveyite tradition with ancient roots of the first Sunday of the month is an important feature of life within URAN since the time of its inception. There is a time allotted on this day of the month for the ingathering of Afrikans in the fold. This special time is known in URAN as Ushirika from the Kiswahili language which means communion.
