Liberators Give Rise to the Process of Liberation and the Outcome of Liberty: What of Celebrating Liberation? 

In consideration of the basic formula: the Afrikan liberator role + the Afrikan liberation process = Afrikan liberty, celebrating liberation is naturally a celebration of upright continual and successful engagement of process.  It is a celebration of progress made in the organised journeying to realise the outcome of Afrikan liberty. It is the liberator self of rightful order that organises, orchestrates and charts the process of liberation journeying where a multitude of milestones can be set and be successfully attained and maintained as the destination edges closer and closer into fullest being. Liberation celebration can indeed be a time of reaffirmation, rededication, replenishment and reenergising of the liberator self and its continued progressive, positive and genuine engagement in the process of liberation. It can also hold the qualities of reflection and projection. Here, celebration can encapsulate lessons of journeying made thus far whilst strengthening the vision for the future goal of complete liberty for Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere. 

According to a contemporary mainstream source:  

“A "liberation celebration" signifies a joyful commemoration of a place or people being freed from oppression, occupation, or rule. It often involves a public holiday, parades, speeches, and other events to mark the occasion and acknowledge the significance of the event”.  

Of course, at the rooted level of spiritual-cultural substance where the Liberation Day of Afrikan souls is determined to be an observance, events marking the occasion (important as they are) are merely outward expressions of core Afrikan living. Here, whether an event is organised or not the observance time and its associated practices continues to be.  

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to deny, derail, coopt, misrepresent or otherwise attempt to thwart celebration of Afrikan liberation. In opposition to upright celebratory effort, others of the ill may attempt to instigate conflict or diversionary ‘drama’ as an undermining tactic. Anti-Afrikan propaganda may be pushed and peddled with intensity and so on. The list of attempted derailment vices can be extensive.  

Yet, it is for the Afrikan to safeguard themselves from the folly of disruption in the best ways possible. Indeed, Afrikan souls ought to avoid becoming agents of self-destruction by proxy. Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service by not wilfully acting as instigators of conflict or ‘drama’ amongst their upright liberator selves. Perpetrators of such disorder may be addicted to creating chaos and conflict where there is none in the lives of those they target and seek to establish with that target an existence plagued with negative disorder. To do this, harmful gossip mongering, deceit, deception and destructive espionage may be utilised to the extent that it almost becomes ‘breath of life’ for the perpetrators’ existence.  

Afrikan souls need not wastefully haemorrhage their energies and resources to fuel a descent into doom by proxy. Rather, through recovery of self-knowledge and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) observance to celebrate upright engagement of the Afrikan liberation process can be participated in to strengthen the necessary thrust in which liberty for Afrikan souls can be realised regardless of geographical locale. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
