Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and his Movement

Amongst Afrikan souls the thrust to gain knowledge about life and the universe has been naturally incessant since the earliest of times. This primary people necessarily and inherently knew of themselves: their substance of being, their growth, their developments, their experiences, their wisdom and genius flow and so on. Far from being lodged exclusively in the realms of abstract or detached theoretical conception, the knowingness of themselves meant their lives where continually and richly informed for upright application of natural genius flow and engagement of optimal order. As a result, the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist were established and flourished with the vital and empowering rootedness of a people intimately knowledgeable of themselves. Indeed, pinnacle civilisation was grand assertion of self-knowingness.

According to a contemporary mainstream source to learn means to:    

“gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught”.

In the sphere of a contemporary existence, there has been much by way of disruption to the norm of Afrikan self-knowingness and the natural engagements of learning that yield their norm of highly civilised living. Certainly, others that mean the Afrikan ill have pushed and peddled particular avenues of study and experiences with associated propaganda to suit destructive conveniences. Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can recover their ability to learn of themselves and vitally engage in that learning.

Surely, the Afrikan must have and utilise self-determined establishments of rightful order for learning of themselves and participate in such learning in the best ways possible. Whatever other types of skills and development may be deemed necessary to (say) eek out a livelihood in contemporary ‘society’, self-knowingness remains an ageless fundamental for this soul people to be alive in the fullest sense, to ascend and to continually flourish.

The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey emphatically urged Afrikan souls to learn and with profound depth of wisdom posited:

“You must never stop learning. The world’s greatest men and women were people who educated themselves outside of the university with all the knowledge that the university gives, and you have the opportunity of doing the same thing the university student does – read and study”.

Afrikan souls have never lost their ability to learn. The question is, what is it that is being learnt and for what purpose in relation to themselves? If others that mean the Afrikan ill were to have it their way learning for Afrikan souls could be an attempt to secure a perpetual state less-than or fuel self-destruction amongst this primary people. Afrikan souls can (and surely must) secure self-determined learning time for themselves. The duty and responsibility to the self comes from the self. As such, the Afrikan can recover their ability to learn (not in the sense of general absorbtion) but in relation to knowingness of themselves in thrust of ascension.

The activity of purposeful learning can indeed be crucial in securing the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like. The journeying of this primary people is of unique longevity, bountifully rich in its endowment of excellence and thus vital study of self can inform the construction and reconstruction of this soul people’s highly civilised norm. From whatever station, level or status the Afrikan can learn to learn of self, learn of self and apply the learning of self in rightful order of ascension. Civilisation is far from being of happenstance.
