Olokun! Vital Restoration

Wherever Afrikan souls are located in the world, it is natural for them to hold on to their own spiritual and cultural ways of life. This is why from Afrika to west spiritual conceptions are retained. In Brazil for example massive annual celebrations of the deity of water take place to empower Afrikan life. That deity is of course Yemanja as continual thrust from the plains of west Afrika. The self-determined fight for retention has been a mutli-generational one of intensity. For the sake of sheer survival Afrikan souls have been compelled to mask their natural spiritual-cultural expression with aesthetic imagery reflecting others outside of themselves. As well as the imperative process of restoring authentic Afrikan aesthetic that genuinely and directly reflects its people, there is also another imperative restorative process relating to vital substance. This is the restoration of the divine masculine powerfulness of waterflow by way of Olokun.

Could it be that the alien forces over the Maafa of recent centuries sought not only to remove authentic melanated aesthetics but also render Afrikan masculine divine void from the same level of reverence? If so, this would surely have an impact on the way in which the physical life of the Afrikan woman is viewed and expressed and how the physical life of the Afrikan man is viewed and expressed. To this day, the feminine divinity of waterflow is celebrated at national level with the mask of an alien aesthetic. At the same time, the masculine Afrikan divinity of waterflow remains void from any such prestige.

If the nullification of the divine masculine at the spiritual and cultural celebratory level stands then surely of Afrikan masculine manhood and its rightful place of substance and functioning suffers (at best).

The abandonment of self-determined spiritual-cultural way of life is never a natural option for Afrikan souls. Rather, it is to be rightfully retained and be its rightful source of rooted empowerment. Yet still, there is restoration to be carried out in order for the divine masculine to be fully realised with the necessary energising of harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female unions, family, community, nation and beyond. The dire effects of males skewed from masculinity, females skewed from femininity and other ills continually peddled and laced with alien contaminant ideologies are surely set to thwart Afrikan ascension and the necessary building throughout the levels of the self.

Olokun represents the deepest substance of divine waterflow and thus cannot be rendered void or be lessened for natural flow of life giving and life sustaining water to rightfully be. 

Thus, the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation celebrates the Yemanja-Olokun Siku (Day) observance where both the Afrikan divine masculine of waterflow is brought to the fore in masculine uprightness; and the Afrikan divine feminine of waterflow is brought to the fore in feminine rightfulness. Here, then the rootedness of wholesome Afrikan life has rooted self-determined substance from which to flourish.

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:
