No Water! – No Life!

As imperative substance to the sacred universe and Afrikan life, water has been with there from the beginning. Indeed, the world would not exist without its presence. It is a natural conduit for the emergence and sustenance of life. As the earth requires water to thrive so too does the physical body. Simply put, if there is no water then life is rendered null. Water naturally permeates life throughout the Afrikan continuum. Acccording to a mainstream source:

“Life’s watery beginning continues to be reflected in all living processes, plant and animal. The simplest single-celled organisms are surrounded by and permeated with water. It moves in and out of their walls, bringing food and oxygen along and taking wastes away. The principle is the same but the processes are more complicated in higher forms of life”.

Whilst the necessities of the physical body in relation to water are obvious even at the basic levels of sheer survival there is also symbolic representation that waterflow carries. For example, one could relate the essential of waterflow to Afrikan peoples’ self-knowingness and self-determined spiritual-cultural living. It may be possible to get by without it for a little while at a temporary level of less-than natural self existence, but eventually the deficit will realise a state of null. As Afrikan life must have water so too Afrikan life must have self-knowingness and self-determined spiritual-cultural fabric. No Afrikan ought to be relegated to a state of pseudo-living or worse.

Therefore, despite the challenges that have been imposed by the Maafa of recent centuries by alien forces that mean the Afrikan ill, it is for the Afrikan to restore their own self-knowingness and spiritual-cultural fabric for fullest life flourishing.

There is no way that this can take place by happenstance. It must be determined by Afrikan souls themselves. With all of the things that Afrikan souls may consider to be compelling in today’s world, a level of time and commitment set aside as purposeful investment in self is surely  foundational.

The noisy barrage of anti-Afrikan propaganda peddled by the alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency directly or by proxy ought to be left to wither in its rightful place of redundancy. Afrikan knowingness and divine celebration of waterflow is representative of living self-knowingness and the mission to restore it to fullest flourishing as vital substance throughout the levels of the self. No water! No Life!  

The levels of the self as is the spiritual focus of ASBWOK (Afrikan Spirituality By Way Of Kwanzaa) are expressed within the celebration of Yemanja-Olokun Siku (Day) and other observances throughout the observance calendar of URAN. The levels can be articulated thus:
