Kwanzaa – Celebration of Afrikan Goodness

The Creator Supreme is the greatest good. The Creator Supreme is love and goodness flows from the Afrikan heart and oneness of heart that has been bestowed upon this marvellous spirit people by the Ultimate Divine. Afrikan people are naturally a loving people of the pinnacle order. Afrikan people naturally express superlative goodness amongst themselves in liberty and nationhood. Afrikan people are divine good manifest. Though alien enemy forces have sought to unleash perpetual horror and destroy Afrikan goodness in the recent centuries of the Maafa, the soul people of Haki (Righteousness) restore and reaffirm the greatest good. Goodness is cultivated, nurtured and safeguarded all year round.

It is the Afrikan spiritual and cultural fabric of life that is fundamental to Afrikan goodness of self. Spiritual and cultural living and sharing rooted love in self oneness. Within the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) the calendar cycle is a cycle of ascension of goodness for the Afrikan to manifest the greatest good. Observance to observance in organ mission of ascension goodness comes to be. The observance cycle in URAN is thus:

Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko (Remembrance)
Kimungu Madhabahuni (Divine Shrine)
Omowale Malcolm X Siku (Day)
Afrika Ukombozi Siku (Afrika Liberation Day)
Ujamaa Kiburi Siku (Afrikan Economic Pride Day)
Musa Msimu (Garvey Season)
Yemanja Siku (Day)
Malkia Wa Uhuru (Queens of Liberty)
Afrika Historia Msimu (Afrikan History Season)

And

Kwanzaa (First Fruits)

All the cultivated goodness is then celebrated during the observance of Kwanzaa that concludes the annual cycle and ushers the next annual cycle into fruition. Kwanzaa then, is a celebration of the grand Afrikan yield cultivated throughout the year and forward projections for the bountiful yield to come.  Celebration of Afrikan goodness is one of the five fundamental activities of the Kwanzaa observance. 

Sacred verse from the Afrikan wisdom tradition articulates guidance from Orunmila (deity of wisdom knowledge and utterance) in articulating the victorious celebration of Afrikan goodness. .

Ushindi wa Furaha (Joyous Victory)

Let the Afrikan nation do things with the joy of victory,
Let Afrikan souls stay amongst their own people and fully flourish.
Let not the Afrikan ever be apart from his or her nation.
Let not the Afrikan ever become the possession of the enemy.
Afrikan souls have been chosen to bring good into the world through the joyous victory of Haki (Righteousness).
Afrikan souls have been chosen to bring good into the world through the joyous victory of their fullest nation self.
The All-Knowing One, Orunmila is of a people who live their Afrikan wisdom teachings for Orunmila.
Never let alien forces impose themselves for their  wickedness may be of such devastation to cause the Afrikan to deny Orunmila and bring the Afrikan to falsely question his or her divine self.
Orunmila is of the Afrikan way and brings forth the wisdom to safeguard Afrikan ascension into eternity.
The call to the Afrikan way is heard and made manifest.
One day all Afrikan people, the people of the greatest good, will be at one.
The alien others who do not allow goodness to be will be left unto themselves.
The Afrikan of joyous victory is at one with Orunmila.
The Afrikan of joyous victory has no need of saying: ‘the mission tires us’
The Afrikan of joyous victory is at one with heaven.  

Orunmila says “The  mission of and for the Afrikan way is imperative”
You must bring about the good condition that the Creator Supreme has ordained for every Afrikan soul.
Even after then, your good condition must be safeguarded from the enemy
You may ask: “What is the good condition?”
Orunmila says: “The good condition is a good world:
A world in which the Afrikan is in knowingness of his or her divine self and of the sacred universe;
Where happiness prevails in the lives of Afrikan souls wherever they happen to be in the world;
Life without alien imposition of anxiety or fear of enemy onslaught;
Without clashes with snakes or other dangerous animals;
Without fear of genocide, disease, fraudulent and murderous litigation, conjuring  or other alien ills;
Without fear of injury from water or fire;
And without fear of poverty or misery,
Because of your wisdom, your compelling desire for good character and all your other superlative strengths.
The things needed to bring about the good condition in the world then are:
The expression of your Afrikan wisdom: this is uniquely adequate to govern the world.
The expression of your Afrikan way: divine character; the love of doing good for the Afrikan nation.
Beware of alien others professing to seek assistance from us or to form alliance with us,
For their wicked intent to exploit the Afrikan eagerness and will to increase Afrikan goodness in the world can bring about a Maafa (great disaster).
Let not any good at all be lost amongst those of the Afrikan nation.
Afrikan souls will eternally be at one with heaven;
And they will forever ascend in mission,
As every Afrikan soul attains good condition and their good condition is safeguarded from the enemy.
Thus when these children of the Creator Supreme gather together,
They bring good into the world and are rightly identified as the divine and as the chosen.
The Afrikan is divine. The Afrikan is chosen.”

The Afrikan heart of goodness is beautifully represented by the symbol Akoma. It is a depiction of the heart of one love that the Afrikan holds in substance of being throughout the world. It is the divine spiritual and cultural royal throne from which the most rooted expressions of the good comes.  It reflects the Afrikan’s manifestation of the greatest good.
