Omowale Malcolm X and Afrikan Spirituality By Way of Kwanzaa (A.S. B.W.O.K.) – (Part 7)

By the grace of the Creator Supreme, Afrikan souls of the world are naturally a people of ascension. From each generation to the next, from each era to the next, Afrikan souls are a people that hold the self-determined thrust of being to continually rise. This of course is rooted in spiritual and cultural fabric of life from which the world’s greatest civilisations have come to be. The spirituality of Afrikan souls is energising thrust for self-determined results.  Whatever stage or level the Afrikan finds him or herself in life spiritually energised living gives rise to righteous results. Certainly the overarching thrust of establishing, developing and maintaining family, community, nation and race are necessary arenas that each require institutionalised outcomes to be realised. Here, the agricultural process of tilling the soil, planting seeds, cultivating crops and harvesting illustrate the necessary thrust of functionality to achieve results.

Despite the onslaught of others that mean the Afrikan ill, these primary and spirit souls of creation have continued their ascension through the creative restoration of cultured living. In this, the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa has been brought into fruition. It symbolically reflects the cultivation of the agricultural harvest that translates to self-determined effort for the elevation of Afrikan life. Just as agricultural harvesting  is process with results of betterment, so too the cultivation, development and progressive engagement of Afrikan life is process with results of betterment. Indeed, the celebration period of Kwanzaa is a celebration of the achievements, results, victories, successes of all-year-round cultivated effort for Afrikan betterment.  

Naturally for the Afrikan, spirituality is replete throughout the process of cultivation, development growth and so on (necessarily so for this spirit people). The spiritual thrust of the Afrikan is one that energises the soul to achieve the grand harvest year-on-year. As such, the results of creative restoration that brought forth Kwanzaa, is also holds the victorious result of spiritual restoration at a level that is readily accessible to all Afrikans throughout the world and is interconnected with the cultural fabric restored and also readily accessible at that level. Hence, Afrikan spirituality by way of Kwanzaa (ASBWOK) is spiritual thrust interconnected and harmonising with all-year-round living flow.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X inspired in a deep and profound way the creative restoration process that brought forth Kwanzaa. Here are some of his profound words on the subject of seasonal growth:

‘When you put a seed in the soil, it remains beneath the soil until the season changes. And when the season changes. That seasonal change automatically brings about…rather atmospheric conditions bring about a seasonal change that makes that seed come up or crop grow in its appointed time. And all over this world today [the Creator Supreme] has brought about political changes, a political atmosphere, social atmosphere, economic atmosphere. These economic conditions, these political conditions and social conditions combine to bring about a situation that is making [Afrikan} people…more receptive, their mind more fertile to the seed of truth’.

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.
