K-W-A-N-Z-A-A – Adhimisaa (Honour)

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)

Wema (Goodness)

Adhimisaa (Honour)

Ng’aa (Shine)

Zaoma (Production)

Adhili (Rightness)

Azizi (Excellence)

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

Global Afrikan ascension in every form is supreme honour of the Creator Supreme and all of the Great Ancestors who (by definition) mission for the betterment of the Afrikan souls. Afrikan people are naturally a people of the highest honour in their place of centrality in the sacred universe and in their mission of responsibility to themselves. Honouring the Creator Supreme and the Great Ancestors is in the fabric of Afrikan life itself. It is necessarily punctuated with ceremony and ritual practice in order that Afrikan souls can fulfil divine duty to the themselves and restore righteous order in this world. Being Afrikan is honour of the highest order and is to be lived to the full. It is an honour that is to be celebrated throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self accordingly.  

There are many areas of life that are necessarily important to Afrikan souls. Yet, oneness with the Creator Supreme holds pinnacle status. As such, the Afrikan naturally knows that the Ultimate Divine brought this first people of Creation into being upon their own sacred soil rightfully endowed with the ascension of self-governance. Nationhood for Afrikan souls of the world is necessary expression of natural and divine substance of being. Whatever area of life Afrikan souls find themselves in there is a fundamental responsibility that has been with the Afrikan since the beginning to build, develop, maintain and safeguard their own nation. Therefore, the organised effort to bring nationhood into fullest fruition has implications for life decisions, use of time, collective effort, economic functioning and more. If the Afrikan souls of the world are truly going to maximally raise and safeguard themselves in the world nationhood is key.

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.

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.
