Kwanzaa - Special Reverence for the Creator Supreme and Creation

The Creator Supreme is the Ultimate Divine, Originator and Orchestrater of the sacred universe. The Creator Supreme brought humanity to be with the Afrikan. Afrikan people have always held living knowingness of the Creator Supreme. From the beginning this marvellously blessed people have given pinnacle reverence and honour to the Creator Supreme using the deeply meaningful and rhythmic beauty of their own languages. Whether they said Amen-Ra in north Afrika, Nkulunkulu in the southern region, Faro  in the west or  Ngai in the east, Afrikan souls are intimately interconnected to the Creator Supreme like no other. These are only a few examples, as all of the indigenous Afrikan languages have a word for the Creator Supreme. No foreigner brought knowingness of the Ultimate Divine to any Afrikan. Indeed, it would have been impossible for the scurrying foreign proslytisers of their foreign religious doctrines to bring anything to the Afrikan for the foreigner did not yet exist.

Special Reverence for the Creator and Creation is preserved in the celebration of the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa. This is one of the five fundamental activities of Kwanzaa. Throughout the year Afrikan people maximally energise themselves with their own way of life with praise unto the Creator Supreme expressed from their own linguistic forms. This is divine reciprocity for the Afrikan whole is living manifestation of the Creator Supreme – a tremendous harvest indeed.

In Kiswahili, the language of Kwanzaa and the unifying Afrikan language throughout the Afrikan world community, the word for the Creator Supreme is Mungu,

Sacred verse from the Afrikan wisdom tradition articulates guidance from Orunmila (deity of wisdom knowledge and utterance) in the bringing forth of life, the Ultimate Divine manifest in Afrikan life:

Kuleta Uzima (Bringing Life)

There is no woman of Haki (Righteousness) in the Afrikan nation who cannot bring forth a priest of Afrikan wisdom teachings.
There is no man of Haki (Righteousness) in the Afrikan nation who cannot bring to fruition a priest of Afrikan wisdom teachings.
There is no woman of Haki (Righteousness) in the Afrikan nation who cannot bring forth Orunmila himself.
There is no man of Haki (Righteousness) in the Afrikan nation who cannot bring to fruition Orunmila himself.
Our father, if he fully brings us into being,
Eventually we will bring him into being.
Our mother, if she fully brings us into being,
Eventually, we will bring her into being.
This is the Afrikan wisdom teaching for Orunmila,
Who said he would bring heaven to the Afrikan world,
And he would take the Afrikan world to heaven.

A powerful symbol that reflects the Creator Supreme and Creation is the Nyame Nti  symbol. It  means by the grace of the Creator Supreme. It is a symbol of faith and trust in the Creator Supreme and bountiful harvest of all that is in the sacred universe and the glory of Afrikan life. Nyame Nti  is beautifully depicted as a stalk of wheat, a reflection of the vegetational growth powerfully symbolised throughout the Kwanzaa observance. The fruit of corn that represents the sacred Afrikan young during Kwanzaa comes from the cornstalk. Whether portrayed as wheat stalk or corn stalk, it is the Utimate Divine that brings forth Afrikan life. The meaning of the Nyame Nti symbol is certainly of great importance in the fabric of life as Afrikan souls victoriously purge themselves of alien ills and imposition. The Kiswahli phrase for By the Grace of the Creator Supreme is Kwa Neema ya Mungu.
