Marcus Garvey and Leadership of the State

There is something special that Afrikan people hold as leaders of their own nations or states. This is a people that have lived their natural norm of self-governance, rightful order and structure throughout the ages. Indeed, from the earliest of times, the deified example of King Ausar, his Queen Auset and the royal child Heru has been a source of guidance, life-lessons and empowerment for rightful order and ascension throughout the Afrikan continuum.  

Despite the interruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, there has been much by way of effort on the part of others that mean the Afrikan ill to destroy Afrikan leadership and rightful order. Whether formally or informally anti-Afrikan propaganda has been a much-used vehicle of attempted destruction.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey, articulates the following poetic words in relation to leader of the state:

“The King, a symbol of the State,

Sends forth his men to find what’s wrong,

And back comes word of awful fate,

On which the lives of men do hang”.

The importance of leadership and rightful order cannot be underestimated. As the royal leader of the state investigates the circumstance of disorder in order to fuel the restoration of rightful order. To leave disorder to fester is to render life vulnerable and ‘hanging in the balance’. Surely, the Afrikan must be lifted from a state of infirmness where mere existence can be swayed this way or that at the whim of alien forces of ill directly or by proxy.

Marcus Garvey emphatically warned Afrikan souls to:

Organise Now! Or Perish!

The response from Afrikan souls ought to be a ‘no-brainer’ for no people of rightful substance would wish themselves to perish.

Thankfully, with independent learning opportunities as a boon to the recovery of self-knowingness such as that of Afrikan World Studies and organs such as that of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation - Afrikan souls can fulfill the calling to organise themselves for ascension in rightful order. 

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:
