Kwanzaa Celebrates the Best of Afrikan Livingness

Afrikan people have always held living knowingness of the Creator Supreme as the Pinnacle Divine of Perfectibility and Excellence. Thus, the thrust of excellent life cultivation and expression has been a natural and essential part of Afrikan living in continual honour of the Ultimate Divine. Whatever station, role or level Afrikan souls hold the living thrust of excellence naturally permeates their spiritual-cultural fabric and therefore life’s outward expression. The various levels of the Afrikan self: person, complementary male-female union, family, community, nation and world community are naturally living testaments of Afrikan excellence that provide the best possible substance for the building, thriving, safeguarding and ascension of Afrikan life. The journey from age-to-age of the best possible Afrikan living has resulted in the greatest most long-lived civilisations that the world has ever known.

According a popular mainstream platform the word best is defined to be:  

“of the most excellent or desirable type or quality”.

Certainly, the natural quality of Afrikan life is of the highest order. Highest culture, highest civilisation, highest living, greatest abundance, greatest endowments and so on are applicable to the primary and spirit people of creation in profoundly deep and meaning ways. Not least within the fabric of their natural Afrikan livingness.

The rooted values that Afrikan people hold, the powerful depth of meaning that their own cultural symbols and linguistic forms carry, the special times of year that punctuate and celebrate self cultivation are all expression of the highest quality.

With the disruptions and interruptions of recent centuries culminating in the Maafa, Afrikan souls surely must restore the best of themselves – their highest quality. This requires self-determined effort to bring about the state of the natural norm for continual Afrikan ascension.

Mainstream definitions also articulate that the word best means:

“to the highest degree; most (used with verbs suggesting a desirable action or state or a successful outcome)”.

Effort made to the highest degree is organised effort on the part of Afrikan souls themselves with desirable action of self-elevation with all of the successful or victorious outcomes that such imperative effort yields.

The world’s greatest civilisation most long-lived civilisations is already the proven result of what the best of Afrikan livingness produces. Certainly, this soul people of creation can again (using a further mainstream definition) deliver for themselves:

“that which is the most excellent, outstanding, or desirable”.

Kwanzaa is itself  the result of an outstanding and most excellent effort to bring about the restoration and elevation of Afrikan life at its cultural core. It is then in turn,  a magnificent vehicle of engagement readily accessible to Afrikan souls throughout the world to bring out the best of themselves through living practice.  Even a cursory glimpse of the foundational philosophy of Kawaida that brought the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa to fruition highlights expression of the highest quality:

“Kawaida is an ongoing synthesis of the best of Afrikan thought and practice in constant exchange with the world”.

Finally, the mainstream source offers another meaning of the word best which is to:

“outwit or get the better of (someone)”.

If applied to Afrikan life this speaks not to the natural restoration and ordered progression of Afrikan souls between themselves, one to the next. Rather, this speaks to safeguarding Afrikan life and the best of Afrikan livingness against contemptuous others that mean the Afrikan ill. It is undoubtedly in the best interest of and rightful for Afrikan souls to secure their lives by outwitting or getting the better of those that are bent on destroying Afrikan souls and the world at large.

Kwanzaa celebrates the best of Afrikan livingness. It is of, for and readily accessible to the entire Afrikan world community. It is a powerful and excellent assertion of self-restoration and victorious Afrikan beingness.

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is an example of organisational thrust for Afrikan life restoration and ascension. Indeed, void of organised living with the necessity of a spiritual-cultural basis of living, there is a huge deficit to Afrikan life. Therefore, upwardly driving question in this regard might then be, ‘How can the Afrikan even live for ascension through denial of rightful self-determined organisation?’. Afrikan souls must surely victoriously be.  

Kwanzaa is one of the essential cultural observances of life within the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
