Garvey’s word on Self-Reliance

The Afrikan self is prime and divine of the Creator Supreme. The Afrikan self is naturally the most sophisticated, most substance-filled and powerful being of humanity. The Afrikan self is a holistic constitution of deepest ethereal substance and an organ of abundantly melanated pinnacle physical make up. In natural groupings the marvellous soul ones become part of the collective self exponentially amplifying their divine holistic power of beingness as one. This is a unique natural arrangement enabled by divine decree and the deepest knowingness of the Creator Supreme and deepest knowledge of the multi-level Afrikan self in all its wonderful splendour.  With this sacred uniqueness of superlative being the only ones of humanity with the capacity to care for, nurture and develop this exceptional people throughout the spheres of life are the Afrikans themselves. Thus, maximal flourishing for the spirit people of creation is manifest from being self-reliant - reliant upon the whole self.     The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey outstandingly established self-reliance as a key tenet of Garveyism – victorious fabric in the life of Afrikan people. The Kiswahili word for Self is Binafsi. The Kiswahili word for Reliance is Kutegemea.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey articulated the following words in relation to Self-Reliance, one of the core elements of Garveyism:

“[This organisation] teaches to our race self-help and self-reliance, not only in one essential, but in all those things that contribute to [Afrikan] happiness and well being. The disposition of the many to depend upon the other races for a kindly and sympathetic consideration of their needs, without making the effort to do for themselves, has been the race’s standing disgrace by which we have been judged and through which we have created the strongest prejudice against ourselves…

The race needs workers at this time, not plagiarists, copyists and mere imitators, but men and women who are able to create, to originate and improve, and thus make an independent racial contribution to the world and civilisation”.

Wonderfully, it is in the victorious light of Afrikan self-reliance that the magnificent Marcus Garvey came to be.  He led Afrikan souls throughout the world regardless of their location or station in life to creatively and progressively carve out time for their own self-betterment. Millions upon millions of marvellous spirit people became dedicated to the mission for global Afrikan ascendancy with self-reliance at the core of this superlative thrust. As ever-increasing multitudes of Afrikans in the now pick up the grand mantle of inheritance of this key tenet of Garveyism, self-reliance ceases to be choice and becomes necessary fabric of life. Here, carving out time for organised collective self-reliance is essential in the imperative for restoration of the Afrikan spiritual and cultural way.

Afrikans must care for, nurture and develop themselves. Increasingly, the Afrikan is aware that steeped in the knowingness of the Creator Supreme, their Great Ancestors, their superlative journey in the world and the spiritual cultural fabric of self are natural and divinely ascribed qualifications to tend to Afrikan ascendancy and bring about the truly natural, harmonious and elevation of Kutegemea upon the Binafsi. This is the world Afrikans’ ‘own private business’ that renders ultimate victory nigh.
