Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

Afrikan people have, since the earliest of times, have highly cultivated and developed their abilities to acquire great depths of wisdom, knowledge and understanding of themselves and the universe at large. In so doing, their levels of discernment throughout the ages have been naturally expressed with optimal brilliancy in service of their continual ascension. Here, discernment itself can attract a level of learning to secure its rightful activation, use and directed focus for the betterment of Afrikan life.

A contemporary mainstream source offers the following detail:

“Learning to discern meaning involves developing the ability to understand the true nature of things, going beyond superficial appearances to grasp deeper significance. It's a process of developing wisdom and making sound judgments based on careful observation and analysis. This can involve distinguishing between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, or important and unimportant information”.

Learning to discern for Afrikan souls is a process naturally rooted in knowingness of themselves and their authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). In their norm of bringing forth grand civilisation, this primary people of creation surely must exercise appropriate levels of discernment commensurate with this result.

The great hero Marcus Garvey highlights the importance of knowingness when he profoundly states that:

“The value of knowledge is to use it”.

In unfortunate times of interruption and disruption, where Afrikan souls may be set upon in acutely destructive ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the use of knowledge for their discernment and other important functioning for Afrikan betterment may become clouded or worse. Indeed, others of ill may attempt to manufacture conditions and circumstance whereby Afrikan souls can only ‘see’ usefulness of ‘knowledge’ if it services exclusively the ill-whims of those same others. In this, the natural self-determined and constructive discernment of Afrikan souls can suffer to state the least.  

With ill-vices of miseducation, other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda and the like souls may ‘learn’ to be undiscerning and unwise in relation to self – and ‘see’ such a dire state as being some sort of ‘valid norm’. Here, unwise and self-destructive actions may become the manipulated result.

Certainly, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in the recovery of self-knowingness and safeguard against the harmful deficit of unknowingness of themselves and the lack of upright discernment that such a condition inevitably brings.

Of course, Afrikan souls ought to disallow themselves from succumbing to destructive folly and avoid being agents of self-destruction by proxy. Tendencies of disorder intended to bring harm to or sabotage Afrikan souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension, may not only demonstrate dire lacking of discernment, but may also confirm addiction negative behaviour. Another mainstream source states that:

“Self-sabotaging is a psychological process, a form of self-hatred, where an addict unconsciously commits negative activities that reinforce his addiction”.

Wilfully destructive wrongdoing such as gossip-mongering, the spreading of falsehoods and the like can become disorders of habitual occurrence if allowed to take hold and fester.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to recover, cultivate, develop and utilise levels of discernment to facilitate their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.

The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood.
