Lessons for Necessary Movement of Rightful Order: What of Opening to Learn?

Afrikan souls are naturally and necessarily open to learning of themselves and their experiences in order to service their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. If the imposition of unnatural conditions were somehow able to render this soul people ‘closed’ to such essential and core learning, then surely the self-determined thrust of opening or re-opening to learn ought to be brought to the fore.

According to a mainstream source:

“"Opening up to learn" generally means adopting a mindset that is receptive to new knowledge, experiences, and perspectives, even if they challenge existing beliefs or require a shift in one's thinking. It's about being willing to acquire new skills and embrace different approaches to learning”.

The great hero Marcus Garvey highlights the importance of being open to learn when he insightfully states:  

“personal experience is not enough for a human to get all the useful knowledge of life, because the individual life is too short”.

For the Afrikan, the recovery of self-knowingness whilst being unnaturally steeped in unknowingness of self may not be ‘new’ in total and absolute terms (though may be perceived that way as ignorance of self is rightfully banished). Rather, it may be more accurate to view such a process as one of restoration and renewal. Whatever the case, opening up to learn of self and the experience of self for Afrikan souls is a natural norm of rightful necessity.  

Unfortunately, if left to destructive vices imposed by others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikan souls would surely be perpetually ‘locked’ away from learning of themselves in order to render their existence less than optimal at best. Further, if Afrikan souls were to be ‘locked’ into being embroiled with chaos, disorder, conflict and dysfunction amongst themselves then the ill-intentioned hands of others can readily exploit the turmoil.

Additionally, Afrikan souls surely ought to avoid becoming self-incarcerating agents that ‘lock’ themselves away from self-knowledge by proxy. Indeed, perpetrating acts of deception and deceitfulness intended to bring harm to souls that encourage or facilitate openness to learning of self is dire disorder. From wilfully destructive gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods to the intentional attempts to deny rightful support and participation in learning, growth and development of self is despicable at best. Perpetrators may come up with a barrage of ‘excuses’ as to why Afrikan souls ought not engage in learning about themselves and may even wastefully haemorrhage time, energy and resource to manufacture, push and peddle such ‘excuses’ at will.

Afrikan people here, there and elsewhere surely must open themselves to know who and what they are and their experiences throughout the ages in order to bring about their fullest flourishing and security in the now and throughout the tomorrows to come. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
