Celebration of First Fruits

The Creator Supreme has blessed the Afrikan souls of the world with the most bountiful soil of the world and the superlative genius of cultivation. This marvellous people are the world’s pioneers in the highly organised process of agriculture. It is process that involves the study of seasonal cycles, assessment of the soil, preparation of the soil, sowing of seeds, fertilising the soil, irrigation, harvesting, storage and distribution – amongst much else. It is this process in which the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa has its roots. Therefore, celebrating the bountiful results of organised effort for agricultural produce shines the illustrative light on the vital importance of organisation for the attainment, maintenance and safeguarding of Afrikan liberty and nationhood.  

Whatever the specialism of life be it education, entertainment, wealth generation  or whatever -being organised within the context of mission for Afrikan liberty and nationhood is imperative by nature. The victories of this endeavour are certainly a grand harvest celebrated during Kwanzaa.  

Organisation for Afrikan liberty and nationhood is a unique endeavour for the uniquely marvellous and superlative spirit ones of creation. Here, the essential fabric of Afrikan spiritual and cultural life is a living basis upon which other facets of life expression rests.

An ancestral wisdom guide and teacher from the Afrikan pantheon during his physical lifetime had articulated important areas of that an organisation ought to consider as fabric.  A portion of these are:

The Commission for Spiritual Life and Assistance
Division of Political Action
Division of Economic Planning and Development
Division of Public Education
Division of Intelligence and Security
General Publishing Board

From the important text: From Afruika to Afrika Ukombozi Siku – The Living Observance of Afrika Liberation Day, each of these areas are highlighted with commentary from the superlative organisational example of Marcus Garvey and the Garveyite tradition thus:

"The Commission for Spiritual Life and Assistance

Never deny that there is a God. God, being universal intelligence created the universe out of that intelligence. It is intelligence that creates. Man is a part of the creation. So Universal Intelligence and man was [sic] created in the image and likeness of God, only by his intelligence. It is the intelligence of man that is like God, but man’s intelligence is only a unitary particle of God’s universal intelligence.

If the white man has the idea of a white God, let him worship his God as he desires. If the yellow man’s God is of his race let him worship his God as he sees fit. We as [Afrikans] have found a new ideal…The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob let him exist for the race that believes in the God of Isaac and the Jacob. We [Afrikans] believe in the God of [Afrika], the everlasting God.

Division of Political Action

Universal Afrikan Nationalism seeks to unite all people of Afrikan [ascent] and origin, irrespective of national citizenship, in one massive movement for Afrikan racial reconstruction. In any national entity, common action by Afrikan people where they are in the majority is an obvious prescription for political, economic and social power. Where the Afrikans are in the minority, that can effectively take group action to correct group disadvantages.

Division of Economic Planning and Development

The wealth of the Afrikan community and the Afrikan nation must be in the hands of the Afrikan people. Afrikans must control the means of production, distribution and exchange within their own national boundaries. The economic exploitation of Afrikan people by alien races must be opposed by Afrikan development of commercial, industrial and financial enterprises.

Flag or paper independence in which the Afrikan acquires the panoply and pomp of nationhood, but he alien races retain control of the meaningful heights of the economy, is no independence at all. True national freedom requires national control of the economy at all meaningful levels.

Division of Public Education

To be learned in all that is worthwhile knowing. Not to be examined with the subject matter of the book or the philosophy of the class room, but to store away in your head such facts as you need for the daily application of life, so that you may better understand your fellow [Afrikan], and interpret your relationship with your Creator.

You can be educated in soul, vision and feeling, as well as in mind. To see your enemy and know him is a part of the complete education of man; to spiritually regulate one’s self is another form of the higher education that a man has for a nobler place in life, and still, to approach your brother by this feeling of your own humanity, is an education that softens the ills of the world makes us kind indeed.

Many a man was educated outside the school room. It is something you let out, not completely take in. You are part of it, for it is natural, it is dormant simply because you will not develop it, but God creates every man with it knowingly or unknowingly and you become as great and full of knowledge as the other fellow without even entering the class room.

Division of Intelligence and Security

God is a bold sovereign – A warrior lord. The God we worship and adore is a God of War as well as a God of Peace. He does not allow anything to interfere with his power and authority.

In a world of wolves one should go armed, and one of the most powerful defensive weapons within the reach of [the Afrikan] is the practice of race first in all parts of the world.

General Publishing Board

The press, cinema, pulpit, schoolroom are all propaganda agencies of one thing or the other. The pulpit carries religious propaganda, the schoolroom carries educational propaganda, the press carries out written propaganda, the platform carries on oral propaganda, the cinema carries out demonstrative propaganda. These methods have been devised by the white man to spread his ideas universally among men. This is why he is able, in a major sense, to control the minds of the people of the world.

Have your own newspapers, your own artists, your own sculptures, your own pulpits, your own platforms, print your own books and show your own motion pictures and sculpture your own subjects. Never script as yours the subjects of another face, but glorify all the good in yourselves. "

 

Agriculture genius and the organised  process of agriculture is what provides vegetational produce for the nation. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is an Afrikan organisation of cultivation and growth with produce for the nation being in the cultivation of organised Afrikan souls in mission for ascension.  

The growth and development of Afrikan organs are key to Afrikan nation growth and development. Take for instance, the institution of Yemanja in the UK that was established prior to the founding of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). Yemanja began as a cultural store however has evolved through a number of guises into a centre for learning, growth and development and select merchandising (amongst other things) and since the emergence of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation has become a part of URAN. Likewise, the Wake Up Call as a publication was birthed prior to the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation being launched and it too has become an important part of URAN together with the transformed publication organ of Ku-Amka productions since the time of its finalised first printings of the publications: From Ajar to Omowale, From Musa to Afrikan Fundamentalism, From Afruika to Afrika Ukombozi Siku and of course From Pert En Min to Kwanzaa.

This is important to note not only to illustrate organic growth and development but also to be of help in safeguarding against any foul intent from forces of anti-Afrikan agency to thwart, derail, harass into destruction, fragment or deter support of  Afrikan living knowingness of wholesome progress in oneness of mission in regard to the oneness of Afrikan growth in general by proxy or otherwise. Enemy interests lie in the destruction of Afrikan oneness. It would therefore, certainly be in the interest of alien enslaving barbarians to deny the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation and its progression for Afrikan uplift or create false dichotomy or regression amongst its various elements.

Victoriously and wonderfully, the work of the Universal Royal Afrikan nation continues. Certainly as an organ it is important to celebrate the organisational achievements that have come to fruition from all-year-round nurturing, growth and development – observance to observance. In this light Kwanzaa is a wonderful time of glorious triumphant jubilation because of the spiritually and culturally rooted organised effort for Afrikan ascendancy.

 The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa takes place from the 26th of so-called December to the 1st of so-called January. It is seven-day period of Afrikan celebration and spiritual-cultural enrichment. Based upon the harvesting traditions of the Afrikan world this celebration of first fruits has at its core the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) together with an beautiful array of deeply meaningful symbols established elevate the Afrikan world community to its fullest flourishing.

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.
