Omowale Malcolm X and Afrikan Spirituality By Way of Kwanzaa (A.S. B.W.O.K.) – (Part 6)

By the grace of the Creator Supreme, Afrikan souls of the world are blessed with superlative ability to cultivate themselves for optimal living. Optimal living for the Afrikan is divine living. With this, the Creator Supreme is the Ultimate Divine originator and orchestrator of the sacred universe. By extension, the primary and spirit people of creation are divinity expressed. Naturally then: the Afrikan person self is a construct of divinity; the harmonious and complimentary union between the Afrikan man and the Afrikan woman is a construct of divinity; the Afrikan family is a construct of divinity; the Afrikan community is a construct of divinity; an Afrikan nation is a construct of divinity; and the global Afrikan community is a construct of divinity. From the earliest of times the Afrikan has expressed divinity of self and established family, community and nation. The nucleus of this is deified in the trinity of manhood in Ausar, womanhood in Auset and childhood in Heru of the ancient Nile Valley. Qualities of these deities are manifest in Obatala, Yemoja and Ogun of west Afrika (respectively) as do they emerge in other deified forms throughout the Afrikan world. The spiritual living natural to Afrikan people holds essential knowingness on manhood, womanhood, familyhood and so on.

With interruptions and disruptions that have been imposed upon Afrikan life by others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikans have necessarily galvanised themselves to bring forth the restoration of their own culture. The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa has come to fruition through a process of creative restoration. It is a celebration of family, community, nation and race. And as Afrikan people are a spirit people with cultural restoration comes spiritual restoration at a level accessible to all Afrikan souls wherever they happen to be throughout the world. Hence, Afrikan spirituality by way of Kwanzaa (ASBWOK) holds divine conception of natural roles and living constructs for the righteous elevation of this special people.

Omowale Malcolm X deeply and profoundly inspired the process of creative restoration that brought forth Kwanzaa. The impact of this hero is of such magnitude that he has been described as, a ‘cultural deity’. His substance of spirit has also been identified in an articulation that, ‘Malcolm X…Yes, Malcolm was an Ogun. So we want to catch that strength, that truth, that justice that he had in him’.

The Heru of ancient Nile Valley, the Ogun of west Afrika share a oneness. Therefore, this great hero or more appropriately Heru or Ogun is not only an inspiration in bringing forth spiritual-cultural restoration but is an intrinsic part of Afrikan spiritual-cultural living. As Heru is the son of Ausar and Auset so too in contemporary manifestation is Omowale, ‘the son who has returned home’.  

This deeply spiritual grand hero knew and understood clearly that life is to be engaged in. Spirituality of the Afrikan empowers engagement for life’s success, achievements and victories. ASBWOK is not a conclusion of life but a way to give rise to concrete and practical gains for the betterment of Afrikan souls.

Universal Royal Afrikan Spirituality of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation utilises ASBWOK. Here, Afrikan Spirituality is a vital part of life’s functioning.  It is a living of wholesome oneness where the various observance times of year each have there spiritual-cultural symbols and focus all in complementary and harmonious fabric, each observance to the next. And of course, the grand annual yield of growth, development, achievement, progress, elevation and so on are celebrated during the Kwanzaa observance celebratory period itself.

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an organ that is rooted in spiritual and cultural fabric for the imperative the mission of global Afrikan ascendancy. Throughout its annual observance calendar cycle URAN energises active knowingness in and from the core spirit levels of Afrikan beingness.
