Lessons for Necessary Movement of Rightful Order: What of Rooted Learning?

Self-knowingness is naturally within the core level of rooted learning for Afrikan souls. Thus, to learn of self for Afrikan people is a fundamental activity that reflects their rootedness that spans a uniquely extensive and richly endowed journey as the primary people of creation. With learning that produced optimal Afrikan self-knowledge came optimal Afrikan civilisation.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:

“"Rooted learning" generally refers to learning that is deeply embedded, firmly established, and grounded in a strong foundation. It can imply learning that is influenced by or developed from a specific source or context, or learning that is so ingrained that it becomes a fundamental part of one's understanding. It also suggests learning that is relevant and applicable to real-life situations and contexts”.

Unfortunately, in times of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be intensively set upon in destructive ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the oppositional category of uprootedness may be imposed in severe ways. Invasion, conquest, colonisation, enslavement and the like can cause major uprootedness to state the least. Another mainstream source comments that:

“"Uprooted people" refers to individuals who have been forced to leave their homes and communities, often due to conflict, persecution, or natural disasters. This displacement can be a traumatic experience, leading to a loss of social connections, cultural identity, and a sense of belonging. The term highlights the disruption and hardship faced by those who are forcibly moved from their familiar environments”.

Of course, colonies, plantations and the like are disasters that are unnatural and the manufactured imposition of uprootedness can have dire implication beyond immediate physical harm. According to another mainstream source:

“"Uprooted from culture" generally means being separated or removed from one's familiar cultural environment, traditions, and way of life. It often implies a sense of displacement and loss, potentially leading to feelings of disorientation, alienation, and even cultural bereavement. This can happen due to various factors like migration, diaspora, or globalisation. The term can also be used more broadly to describe the destruction or eradication of cultural practices or traditions”.

Indeed, and by extension, the pushing and peddling of miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda can be seen as uprootedness of the Afrikan from learning of self.

The great Marcus Garvey cautions Afrikan souls with his immense depth of wisdom thus:

“If you hate a man, giving him a bad name well may explain the purposes of propaganda without truth behind it”.  

Afrikan souls can surely do themselves a great service in avoiding and safeguarding against becoming uprooted from self-knowledge and its recovery. In this, the Afrikan ought not succumb to acts of wilfully destructive wrongdoing targeted against souls rightfully missioning for self-knowledge recovery and continual Afrikan ascension. This is tantamount to self-destruction by proxy. Deceitful and deceptive behaviours from harmful gossip mongering to the spreading of falsehoods or worse intended to bring down souls of upright construction is despicable at best.

Instead, Afrikan effort, resource and energy can be productively channelled here, there and elsewhere into rooted learning of self for its natural, powerful and positive life application. 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. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
