Marcus Garvey and the ‘Media of Communication’ Through Natural Beingness

Naturally, the Afrikan does not approach nature as an outside observer, for the Afrikan is the primary people of the natural world. The Afrikan is both a firm part of nature and central in nature. The specialness of the Afrikan is compounded with this intimate oneness and the connectedness with the Ultimate Divine. With the powerfulness of such relational circumstance, the Afrikan naturally cultivates life and builds in superlative fashion. Hence, the grandest of world civilisations are realised. Steeped in the fabric of their own self-determined way of life, the Afrikan is the age-old catalyst through which the essential of rightful order prevails.  

Despite the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls continue to hold their powerful qualities within their natural substance of beingness. Yet, such substance can produce self-beneficial outcomes through the self-determined to cultivate and develop Afrikan life. Void of effort in this regard chaos and disorder can continue to wreak havoc as the Afrikan misguidedly absolves the self of natural responsibility in the world.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey, with profound depths of insightfulness beautifully articulates the following:

“The world cannot be rescued from depravity until we raise our standard of ideals and help by our example to elevate the measure of humanity to a higher plain of consciousness.

We are told that the human temple consists of ‘a little water, a little earth, a little air, and a little sunlight’ (ninety per cent is said to be water), and we are beginning to realise that it will not interfere with the efficacy of the formula to introduce a little more sunlight and thereby to brighten the aura of the individual.

As water seeks its level, so spirit urges an adjustment to its rhythmic laws and offers the comparison of health, success, and happiness for compliance therewith. It has been demonstrated that an even flow of harmony through the consciousness of each ego strengthens the universal chain of the ‘visible media’ of communication and challenges disease and suffering”.

Essential in the attainment of a ‘higher plain of consciousness’ is the self-determined effort to restore a level of Afrikan self-knowingness. This is not occurrence of happenstance. Afrikan souls will have to carve out and utilise time for this purpose.

To be reliant upon the media of alien forces that mean the Afrikan ill is oppositional to natural well-being and rightful order. For example, the upright Afrikan masculine man can be ridiculed, made less-than, constantly depicted as subject to slaughter, effeminised, or rendered non-existent (amongst a host of other ills). Meanwhile, the rightful Afrikan feminine woman is bogusly and grotesquely reimagined as a masculine man, alone and void of real Afrikan masculine manhood being present (and so on). This is communication of disorder, disharmony and disfunction at best. This does not challenge dis-ease and suffering but rather promotes it.

Afrikan souls must represent themselves in rightfulness of their own natural and powerful temples of self. Whether the upright masculine man or rightful feminine woman, rightful order must prevail.

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:
