Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere surely ought to know themselves and not succumb to the folly of miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda concocted, pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill. To know thyself has been foundational to Afrikan life since the earliest of times. Yet, in times of interruption and disruption the identity of soul people may be set upon in acutely destructive ways, causing chaos, confusion or worse amongst the Afrikan number. Here, learning identity is key at both the fundamental and operational levels of self-determined life engagement.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:  

“Learning identity is fundamentally about how a person sees themselves as someone who can learn and grow”.

The great hero Marcus Garvey with driving motivation aptly asks of Afrikan souls where amongst their number can there be found:

“Men of character, men of purpose, men of confidence, men of faith, men who really know themselves?”

Whether considered as the learning of the subject of identity or as the identifying description of the approach to one’s process of learning, the natural shared core oneness of being that Afrikan people hold here, there and elsewhere remains fundamental empowerment.

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to manufacture pseudo-identities as means to pit one Afrikan group against the other and generate a distractive smokescreen as Afrikan resources are continually exploited under divide-and-rule strategy.

Surely, Afrikan souls ought not allow themselves to succumb to the ill-impositions to the point where they become totally consumed by contaminants of ill and abandon all knowingness of who and what they are. Surely, Afrikan souls ought not allow themselves to be shoehorned into wilfully haemorrhaging their time, energy and resource to become perpetrating agents of self-destruction by proxy.

Indeed, the upright and self-determined engagement of Afrikan people learning Afrikan identity is a natural act of ascension and security. In this, the Afrikan can help the self to rightfully avoid participating in the deceitful, deceptive acts of wrongdoing intended get Afrikan souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension ‘out of the way’. Gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods can be amongst the vices-ill that are usefully safeguarded against.

As Afrikan souls recover their knowingness of self, clarity is brought to their natural life purpose for their fullest flourishing regardless of their geographical locale. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
