Divinity in the Contemporary World

Afrikan souls by the grace of the
Creator Supreme have a wide range of natural complexions. As the primary people
of world exude superlative beauty throughout their various tonalities.
With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to crush the Afrikan and set themselves as superior characterised by their lack of melanin content. In such dire circumstance, some Afrikan souls may become misguided to think that if they can somehow rid themselves of their beautiful and naturally powerful Afrikan traits that somehow they can align themselves with alien forces in their sharing of hijacked power. The need to alter the natural self in order for some perceived notion of alien acceptance can appear compelling. Yet, the superlative powerfulness of the Afrikan that brought forth the world’s greatest and most enduring civilisations is born of the natural self. Such grand achievement did not come from mimicry, synthetically altered image and pseudo-acceptance in false rejection-of-self acquiencence to others. Rather, it came from the natural pride and assertion of wholesomeness of self steeped in rightful order.
The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey with deeply meaningful insight articulates the following in relation to self-wholesomeness and mission:
“Work as a race to improve our status economically and politically and pay less attention to those who think that the superiority of others lies in their skin and that we should try to advance ourselves by changing our complexions. The proud [Afrikans] of the world would not change their complexions for all creation over. It is only a very small minority who posses the inferiority complex, who think it is of benefit to change their complexion, or at least to be desirous of doing so, so as to escape being what they are.
Afrikan souls surely ought to restore a level of self-knowingness for them to be proud of who and what they are as the primary souls of creation and act accordingly. When the Afrikan deals with the realty of themselves, then the imperative thrust for pinnacle civilisation will surely then continue to gain victorious traction.
The great Marcus Garvey emphatically urged Afrikan souls throughout the world to lift themselves through in self-knowing oneness and as such:
“There is no height to which you cannot climb”’
The inspiration and wisdom guidance of the great Marcus Garvey is surely mission-compelling for Afrikans worldwide. Here, the imperative thrust of independent learning can be energised throughout the levels of the self:
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 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.
