Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

Naturally, it is rightful and normal for Afrikan souls to learn in upright or upward ways that service their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. This is learning of positive engagement and outcome.

According to a mainstream source:

“"Upward learning" generally refers to the process of learning that results in a positive change in a learner's knowledge, skills, or abilities, leading to a higher level of understanding”.

In a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be subject to intense levels of destructive imposition by others that mean the Afrikan ill, miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda may be pushed and peddled to encourage self-destruction amongst the Afrikan number. In this, learning may be grotesquely skewed in service of chaos and disorder. Another mainstream source offers the following detail:

“"Learning to destroy" can refer to two main concepts: the process of learning how to physically damage or break something, or the process of learning to eliminate or ruin something in a more abstract sense. In the first case, it involves acquiring skills and knowledge related to demolition, sabotage, or even warfare. In the second, it can refer to learning how to undermine, sabotage, or dismantle a system, plan, or even a relationship”.

The great hero Marcus Garvey with his profound depth of wisdom and insight provides words to help guide Afrikan souls in the following way:

“The press, cinema, pulpit, schoolroom are all propaganda agencies for one thing or the other. The pulpit carries religious propaganda, the schoolroom carries educational propaganda, the press carries out written propaganda, the platform carries on oral propaganda, the cinema carries out demonstrative propaganda”.  

Who largely governs and determines the content of these various vehicles intended for Afrikan consumption here, there and elsewhere and what is their desired outcome? If Afrikan souls were to apply self-determined upward learning in their lives in order to rightfully inform themselves of who and what they are and their experiences regardless of geographical locale then continual Afrikan ascension would surely be greatly empowered.

At the same time, Afrikans can do themselves a great service by avoiding and safeguarding against ‘learning’ set to destroy this primary people of creation. Indeed, each Afrikan can look into the mirror of self and cast aside wilfully destructive tendencies intended to damage or ruin the lives of souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension. Perpetrating acts of demolition, sabotage, dismantling, or even warmongering to bring harm to those encouraging or facilitating upward Afrikan learning is despicable at best. Indeed, deceitful and deceptive acts of destruction such as gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods can be seen as forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda that provide an open invitation to doom.

Afrikan souls can - and surely must - build themselves and civilisation with the fundamental help of self-determined upward learning. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
