Hatua Saba (Seven Stages) – Kuamka (Awaken)

Supremely blessed by the Creator Supreme, the primary and superlative people of humanity have developed powerful ways to realise their maximum potential and maximum capabilities. The continual results of which have been unique, tremendous and at the apex of human achievement.  The pinnacle prowess of the world’s most glorious and long-lived civilisations is the expression of a fully flourishing, self-governing and exultant Afrikan people. A people, placed in the centrality of the sacred universe by divine decree at one in the knowingness of the Creator Supreme and of the divine self. A people of their own liberty and nationhood. A people living in optimal wellbeingness throughout generational unfolding. It is obvious, that for the Afrikan soul any state of alien imposed unfreedom is anathema to full prosperity and wellbeing. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey provided Afrikan people throughout the world with seven stages of growth and development necessary for the full expression of Afrikan life. In Kiswahili word for stages is Hatua. The Kiswahili word for seven is Saba. With the genius-filled work of the magnificent Marcus Garvey as a basis and the wonderfully harmonising example of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles), this author elucidates the Hatua Saba (Seven Stages) as follows:

Kuamka (Awaken), Mabadiliko (Self-Transformation), Kusambaza (Channel), Kazi (Work), Kujifunza (Education), Kuongoza (Leadership), Pamoja (Togetherness)

The first stage is Kuamka (Awaken) - To awaken our true and natural divine self and the oneness we share with each other throughout the world.

This is the stage of the Afrikan becoming aware of who and what he or she truly is as a primary soul of humanity and of spirit. Naturally, this people are of superlative substance and hold centrality in the sacred universe. Oneness for this marvellous soul people is an extension of the ultimate source of oneness, the Creator Supreme. In self-determined liberty and nationhood this spirit people emerge with the natural awareness of self-being as eternal inheritance from generation to generation. However, in times of disruption such as the period of the recent Maafa awakening may manifest at different stages in the life of the Afrikan and via a multitude of different ways. As such, awareness of self brings with it the awareness of imposed alien ills to be purged and the mission of liberty and nationhood to be restored.  Awareness, though necessary is far from being a conclusion. It is merely the preliminary stage of becoming and the springboard from which the Afrikan can develop further.  To remain lodged at the stage of awareness in an exclusive way and without further development is to stagnate. A position that can have dire consequence in the context of the Maafa. Through continual growth and development the Afrikan will victoriously restore self-awareness to being a natural inherent-to-life manifestation as each generation is again born in wholesome Afrikan living of self-governance, liberty and nationhood.  

Despite the horrific ills imposed by foreign forces in the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls of the world remain supremely blessed with all of the tools they need to bring about the imperative of pinnacle betterment for themselves. The challenge brings such endeavours as restoration and implementation to the fore. Surely as Afrikan people pick up their own tools that have been fashioned and shaped from the crucible of their own pinnacle genius flow the brilliancy of the greatest civilisations will again be made manifest, this time for eternity.  The Hatua Saba is a tool profound.
