Celebration of First Fruits

Afrikan people are blessed with the greatest culture known to the world by grand orchestration of the Ultimate Divine. From the beginning, and with living knowingness of the Creator Supreme, Afrikans have cultivated themselves at the deepest levels with spiritual and cultural living of the highest order. The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa is a beautiful manifestation of Afrikan spiritual and cultural life. It is a celebration of Afrikan living and necessarily carries the substance of reflection and projection. Reflecting upon the progressive strides made in the conclusion of one annual cycle of ascension and projecting forward onto ever-greater heights for the annual cycle to come. Highlighting this reflection and projection is an acronym of the word Kwanzaa, compiled by this author. It can be seen as spiritual and cultural energising prompt for annual ascension. Or, it can be viewed as a spiritual and cultural checklist for continually rooted living. The identifiers are in Kiswahili and are detailed thus:

Kweza (Raise) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in raising life for the highest realms of nationhood with the Nguzo Saba.

Wema (Goodness) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in the cultivation and expression of goodness for the progression of the Afrikan nation with the Nguzo Saba value system.

Adhimisaa (Honour) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in the honouring of the Creator Supreme and the Great Ancestors by with the Nguzo Saba.

Ng’aa (Shine) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in the illumination of Afrikan brilliance for the benefit of the Afrikan nation with the Nguzo Saba.

Zaoma (Production) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in the production – creative and otherwise – for the benefit of the Afrikan nation with the Nguzo Saba.

Adhili (Rightness) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in Haki (Righteousness) and Jaji (Justice) for the benefit of the Afrikan nation with the Nguzo Saba.

Azizi (Excellence) – Reflection and projection on Afrikan ascension in the excellent expression of life into eternity for the benefit of the Afrikan nation with the Nguzo Saba.

Unfortunately, the alien enemy forces of the world have sought to destroy the Afrikan spiritual and cultural fabric of life and attempt to derail Afrikan souls from working in the interest of self. in this, the foreign pirate has attempted make the Afrikan: raise only that which benefits others; do things that only others consider good for their pirate selves; honour others misinterpretations of divinity; shine to make others brighter; creatively or otherwise produce only for others; do what only what others consider right for their pirate selves.

This of course goes far beyond neglection of self should the Afrikan succumb to such wicked intent. The foreign enemies mean the Afrikan ill and as such working totally and exclusively in the interest of others can mean fuelling genocide.

Victoriously, even if the Afrikan (for survival) is compelled to work in the clutches of alien institutions, is able to still energise spiritual and cultural substance with the Kwanzaa and the Nguzo Saba. Carving out as much time as is possible for themselves throughout the year for effective nation use, Afrikans can celebrate, reflect and project year-on -year for ever-ascending heights.  

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an organ that is rooted in spiritual and cultural fabric for the imperative the mission of global Afrikan ascendancy. Throughout its annual observance calendar cycle URAN energises active knowingness in and from the core spirit levels of Afrikan beingness. It is from this all-year-round living which includes the other forms of Afrikan knowingness that Kwanzaa (also of the observance calendar cycle) yields celebratory triumph.  

All-year-round and life-long learning for the Afrikan (independent of others) is a wholesome and ever-ascending endeavour. Comparative knowingness is a firm part of this endeavour and its annual yield can be celebrated as a part of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is one in the series of annual observances of the Afrikan spiritual and cultural calendar cycle to bring about and lift the imperative of Afrikan spiritual and cultural maturation.
