Marcus Garvey and The New School

Schooling as it relates to the self-determined growth and development of Afrikan life for maximal ascension is a natural norm throughout the continuum of this primary and spirit people of creation. There is also school of thought that is born of upright mission-compelling Afrikan wisdom that informs the life expression of grand civilisation.

Though there is much interruption and disruption by way of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves for their own ascension. Indeed, it is only Afrikan souls that can restore and recover their facets of life that yield the elevation of the race. In this, wisdom-filled school of thought for grand rising is key.

The superlative visionary Marcus Garvey, with profound depths of knowing, eloquently describes a new school of thought:

“We of the new school of [Afrikan] thought are obsessed with the desire to do much more than our fathers did. We want to build a solid foundation; a kind of an immovable corner stone must be laid on which we must rear the structure of [Afrikan] economic independence, political freedom and scientific and educational sovereignty. Let every [Afrikan] man, woman and child bend his and her energy to this purpose. Let all of us unite to bring into existence a new and improved civilisation typical of our racial genius”

There is much to learn and there is much to build. At the core foundation of Afrikan life is wholesome spiritual-cultural substance from which the rightful order of high civilisation comes. Such substance informs economic functioning; it informs political functioning; it informs science and technology; and it informs the education process.

Surely, the Afrikan must purge alien contaminants of ill and the setting of examples of such ills as the wildly excessive haemorrhaging of resources by way of aesthetic consumer trinkets in the highly important role of ‘spiritual’ function.  If those at the helm of faith congregations take on the  behaviours associated with wreck-less alien (or alien-inspired) ‘pop idols’, then what of the congregation? And then what negative forces of disorder and destruction will such circumstances attract? Indeed, where does the soul consumed with wreck-lessness go to be guided into recovery? Living well, wealth generation and flourishing is essential thrust and natural for Afrikan souls as it is rooted in spiritual-cultural core so as rightful order prevails. As alien forces of ill continue attempts to misdirect Afrikan souls away from the essential of their own upright spiritual, educational and economic functioning surely the Afrikan must safeguard the self from the folly of self-destruction. Surely, it is imperative that the thrust of ascension of the race is paramount.  

The great hero Marcus Garvey powerfully expressed: One God! One Aim! One Destiny!

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:
