Marcus Garvey and Self-Determined Opportunity at the Afrikan World Community Level

The Afrikan world community is a necessary and functional level of the self that (as with the other levels of the self) ought to be ordered and fully flourishing. Here, qualities such as the creative genius flow of Afrikan souls can be brought to fore empowered by the strength gleaned from the levels of person self to nation. Throughout the globe, this primary people of creation hold a spirit core of oneness that is indeed an asset of pinnacle empowerment.

Despite the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries unleashed by others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to mission for an ordered and fully functioning Afrikan world community. Indeed, only Afrikan souls themselves can bring this into being for themselves. Out of such global empowerment can come unending opportunities for great traction in service of the race.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey eloquently and with deep insight articulates it this way:

“There is only one way to do the thing that is worthwhile, and that is, the proper way. As fars as we are concerned as a race, we are all anxious to be the subjects of conditions that are most favourable and pleasant; that is to say we are all looking for opportunities that are appreciable to us, but can we forget or ignore the fact that these opportunities only come around when we make the effort to create them ourselves? There is positively no use of our lamenting over conditions without making an effort to improve those conditions, and making them what we want to be. It is because there is a desire for universal improvement in our conditions why the UNIA has assumed its worldwide responsibility of creating and opening up of those opportunities that are desired by the respective units of the race”.

The ordered world community grows and blossoms from rightful order and functioning at the microcosmic level. Each operative and flourishing level of the self, steeped in rightful order, can be amplified and scaled up in order for the macrocosm of world community order to be victoriously realised. Therefore, every genuine self-determined step of upright functioning that the Afrikan person self makes for the betterment of Afrikan souls can be a progressive and contributary step for world community functioning.

Hence, the restoration of self-knowingness is vital, the purging of alien contaminants of ill is vital, the restoration of self-determined Afrikan spiritual-cultural fabric is vital and so on. Of course, to fester in: disorder and chaos; wilful destruction of genuine organs of rightful Afrikan ascension; relations oppositional to ascension and so on are anathema to collective functioning at any level. Such destructive circumstance surely ought to be avoided and safeguarded against. For victory lies in the self-determined and genuine effort Afrikan souls make to lift themselves to optimal flourishing.  

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:
