The primary and spirit people of creation (Afrikans) pioneered
the charting of time in alignment with occurrence within the sacred universe as
they empowered their own ascension. Of course, the calendar with days, months
and years became obvious and necessary expression. This people of pinnacle
culture are not so by happenstance. Through their own self-determined effort cultivation of the self throughout its
various levels is natural norm: the Afrikan person self; the harmonious and
complementary Afrikan male-female union; the Afrikan family; the Afrikan nation
and so on. Naturally, Afrikan souls established seasons within an annual cycle to
empower self-cultivation at the rooted spiritual and cultural level. This is
the cultural observance. A designated special time to focus on a particular aspect
(or aspects) of cultivation of the self for ascension. For the Afrikan, cultural observance time shares
the qualities of chronological time in that the designated time exists whatever
is happening in life. So, the day Sunday remains Sunday whatever is happening
in life. Likewise, a cultural observance period remains that time as a feature
of life for its observants. Further, there may be an event that takes place on
Sunday, it may even be in celebration of it being Sunday. However, the event
whether it celebrates the day or not, is not the day itself. Likewise, an event
can celebrate a cultural observance period but it is not the observance period
itself.
With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, alien forces of ill have set upon Afrikan souls to derail this primary people from their own self-determined cultural fabric. Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their own living self-knowingness and their natural norm of pinnacle cultured living.
Wonderfully, Afrikan souls throughout the world have made exceptional efforts to restore their culture. With creative genius flow and dedication to the thrust for betterment in Afrikan life, this people have superlatively established observance periods essential to their own cultivation. One such powerful example is the observance of Kwanzaa that takes place from 26th December to 1st January. Other mighty examples include the observances of Omowale Malcolm X Siku (Day) and Afrika Ukombozi Siku (Afrika Liberation Day) which both occur in the month of May. These wonderful periods focus on particular areas of self-cultivation from a rooted spiritual and cultural foundation. No Afrikan observance period is an event. Though important events may be organised to celebrate any given observance period, the event is not the same as the observance. The observance time is that time whether there is an event or not. Or, whether a celebratory event consists of a large gathering or not. Or, whether a celebratory event features notable guests or not. Such endeavours can be important in assisting the necessary self-empowerment process and events hold an important place for Afrikan souls. However, the core spiritual and cultural rootedness of Afrikan living with its punctuating observance periods is what celebratory events are naturally an outward expression of.
Certainly, organs such as the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation have a cultural observance calendar that its adherents can cultivate their lives in accordance with for Afrikan ascension. The organ may hold celebratory events for any given season. However, the cultural season remains whether there is an event or not.
The alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency will surely rub their hands with glee at the prospect that Afrikan souls perpetuate confusion between observance and event amongst themselves. Alien forces of ill will surely relish the disorder caused if Afrikan souls were to relegate their observances to tertiary level of being an event only. The same foreign forces of ill would surely be ecstatic should Afrikan souls be consumed by contaminant alien ills and become drunk with sheer event status, popularity and so on to exhibit self-destructive behaviours that come from the intoxication. Imagine just how filled with delight the foreign forces of ill would be if (say) in the month of May misguided Afrikan souls were to wilfully set out to destroy would-be liberators of rightful order as those liberators genuinely missioned for liberation. If the misguided soul, for the sake of some perceived status held in this event or that under the guise of liberty then the results can only be anathema to Afrikan ascension.
The Afrikan must surely restore self-determined and rooted substance-filled living of rightful order where the various essential elements of life (including observance periods and the outward expression of events) can be appropriately placed and positioned according to rightful meaning, function and order. In this, Afrikan surely must make efforts to purge themselves of alien contaminants of ill and also safeguard the self from alien contaminants of ill.
The question of liberty observance or event is nonsensical with the restoration of spiritual-cultural living of rightful order.
With ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way Of Kwanzaa), living self-knowingness throughout the various levels of the self is empowered. Here, the thrust for liberty is inherently energised as each level of the self holds wider functional responsibility to the other levels of the self. In this, the levels of the self are not mutually exclusive but rather share oneness of substance for the imperative thrust of Afrikan ascension. With ASBWOK the levels of the self can be highlighted as:
The person self (for Afrikan masculine manhood) or (for Afrikan feminine womanhood)
The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union
The Afrikan family
The Afrikan community
The Afrikan nation
The Afrikan world community
The observances of Omowale Malcolm X Siku and Afrika Ukombozi Siku are part of the spiritual and cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). Throughout the year (observance to observance) harmonious complementarity is manifest in the holistic fabric of the whole annual cycle. These two observances relate to each other in a number of special ways. One such way is the emphasis of, and imperative connection of the Afrikan Liberator with the process of Afrikan Liberation. Afrikan souls, being a part of an organ for mission ascendancy is key for both liberator and liberation. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is a spiritually and culturally rooted organ for Afrikan ascension.
The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
