Marcus Garvey’s Spiritual Movement

Afrikan souls are both primary and a spirit people of creation by grand orchestration of the Creator Supreme. The superlative abundance of spirit substance in the being of these souls is a forever flow of natural resource unto themselves. Naturally, the powerfulness of raw Afrikan spirit is necessarily channelled to empower life’s fullest engagement through the self-determined spiritual formulation. The results of exercising their spirituality throughout the ages have been exceptional with the greatest and most enduring civilisations being magnificently etched in the annals of the Afrikan continuum. The spiritual is at the core of Afrikan life and thus forms a part of the fundamental foundation of total life expression and ascension.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to crush or misdirect the Afrikan spirit for foreign benefit. Despite this Afrikan souls have found ways to retain, reclaim, restore and rejuvenate their own self-determined spiritual formulations for maximal self-empowerment and progressive functioning.

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey held living knowingness of the foundational importance of spiritual fabric for the spirit people of creation. As such, self-determined spiritual thrust permeated the Garvey Movement in order for this superlative organ to realise its victorious mission for global Afrikan ascension. George Alexander McGuire, one the most prominent Garveyite practitioners eloquently describes the Garvey Movement thus:

“This is a spiritual movement and that is why our adversaries fail to fathom its hold upon us, and style us fools and fanatics of Garvey. They think only of the man and never of the cause. Philosophical as many of them profess to be, they have not yet discovered that the spirit of this movement which he has fanned into flame finds its habitat in the heart yearning of millions of [Afrikans], that this movement possesses an immortal germ, and because immortal, spiritual”.  

The spirituality of Afrikan souls is naturally at their life’s core no matter the era. Hence, restorative attention given to the energising thrust that empowers the various areas of life expression is surely time well spent for elevation in the now and in time to come. Certainly, the spiritual core cannot be contradictory to the victorious and optimal rise of Afrikan souls. Such circumstance would be of disorder and anathema to ascension.

The inspiration and wisdom flow of the great Marcus Garvey is unending as he continues to lift Afrikan souls throughout the world to ever-more victorious heights. In the now, Afrikan souls are able to restore their own self-determined thrust of Afrikan culture through the beautifully restored value system of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles). In addition, Afrikan souls are able to restore their own self-determined harmonising spiritual fabric through ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way of Kwnazaa) with its focus on various levels of the self thus:
