Marcus Garvey and Thinking

 Afrikan thought is of the deepest depths of thought. It is the thought of the ages that has yielded pinnacle excellence in every sphere of life’s engagement from the philosophical to the scientific. Indeed, such categorisations in the natural norm of the self-determined Afrikan continuum may be unnecessary for Afrikan deep thought does not suffer the contemporary forms of discrete compartmentalisation. The results of Afrikan souls engaging in their own approach to thinking is evident in the greatest and most enduring of civilisations ever to exist.  

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries others that mean the Afrikan ill have attempted to castrate the deep thought of this primary people (and its natural expressions) in a barrage of different ways. Despite the onslaught only Afrikan souls themselves can restore their own deep thought and its practical application.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey eloquently shares deep insight on Afrikan thought in the following way:

“The most unhappy man in the world is the biggest fool, and he is unhappy because he has made himself a fool. God has given every man a mind…Therefore, anybody who is thinking in the particular is bound to have the advantage over the man who is not thinking. Thought will help you; cultural thought, moral thought, ethical thought, the thought that props up the very system of our daily life. And as high as you rise to think, so much will your progress and success wheresoever you are".

Amongst much else there are consequences for the Afrikan to be unthinking or unknowing in relation to self and self-betterment of a whole people. To be Afrikan is naturally to be unfoolish and to avoid unhappiness. Or rather, to be Afrikan is naturally to be steeped in wisdom and self-knowingness and to be happy (Hapi).

In an interrupted state alien contaminates of ill set to promote ill-behaviours of self-destruction can plague Afrikan life. Even if there is a temporary synthetic feel-good posture from engagement in destructive alien vices, the abject collective unhappiness and castration of self-determined Afrikan progress can be dire. Surely then, the Afrikan ought not succumb to alien vices that denies or seeks to destroy any of the levels of self: the person self (as Afrikan masculine manhood or feminine Afrikan  womanhood), the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union, the Afrikan family, the Afrikan community, the Afrikan nation or the Afrikan world community.

Afrikan souls have a duty and responsibility to themselves to restore their substance of deep thought and apply it for Afrikan ascension accordingly. In this, learning is key, spiritual and cultural restoration is key. Indeed, the ordered mission for Afrikan ascension must be optimally realised. The notion that Afrikan people ought not to think for themselves is the handmaiden alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency desperate in their attempts to render Afrikan souls underfoot. Worse yet, are the bogus notions of ill that Afrikan souls do not have the capacity to think for themselves. This is another concoction of alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency who seek to perpetually dominate the Afrikan into destruction.

Not only should the Afrikan be learned to their own deep thought to recover the best expressions of themselves, but also safeguard against alien ills. Such safeguarding must surely also include purging the self (throughout its levels) of alien contaminants of ill and at the same time building measure in order that Afrikan souls do not succumb to operating on behalf of alien forces of destruction by proxy.      

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:
