Remember that Self-Knowingness is a Self-Determined Process Wherever Located in the World

For the primary people of creation, the process of self-knowingness is fabric of self-determined life. A powerful example of this is in the deeply meaningful spiritual-cultural symbol of the Sankofa bird. This is a symbol representing the fetching or return of what has been, in order to understand and rightfully assess the present, in order then to chart successful ascension on into the future. A symbol such as this provided progressive meaningfulness within the natural norm of flourishing Afrikan life. Thus, the Afrikan person self could progressively engage in the successful process of Sankofa, the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union could engage in the successful process of Sankofa, the Afrikan family could engage in the successful process of Sankofa, the Afrikan community could engage in the successful process of Sankofa, the Afrikan nation could engage in the successful process of Sankofa and so on. It is from living self-knowingness enshrined within self-determined cultural fabric that the greatest of world civilisations were established and thrived.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan souls throughout the world have been set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Alien forces of anti-Afrikan agency have sought to deny living self-knowingness that is natural fibre in Afrikan life.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully highlights that:

“We couldn’t speak our own language and he began to teach us we came from a jungle where the people had no language. This is the crime that has been committed. He convinced us that our people back home were savages and animals in the jungle. And the reason we couldn’t talk his is because we never had a language. We grew up thinking we never had one. And in the meantime, while he was working on us, his brothers in England and in France and in Belgium and in Spain and in Italy and in Germany were working on the Afrikan continent. While he was working on us over here, they were running wild on the Afrikan continent stomping out all signs there was ever a civilisation over there. Making slaves of them over there too. And by working together as partners, the ‘man’ on the European continent in cahoots with this white man on the American continent succeeded in taking over Afrika…and the entire world while we went to sleep”.

This was not a sleep that eradicated the haemorrhaging of Afrikan labour and genius flow in service to alien forces of ill. This was a slumber of unknowingness of self. Surely, for Afrikans to remember who and what they are is vital. For, as the great Omowale point out:

“It is absolutely necessary anything to be done for us, has to be done by us”.

This cannot be brought to fruition by happenstance. As such, this great hero continues by highlighting the importance of engagement in available observance seasons to energise and engage in the remembering of the self:

“It is necessary tonight to go back somewhat and remind ourselves of as many of you know, many of you already know about. And there are many others who don’t. But I thought it absolutely necessary to use tonight, as simply getting ready to go into February and [so-called] Negro History Week. To use tonight to kind of brush up on some of the history of our people preceding the time we were brought to America. And then next Sunday night, deal with current conditions and tricky schemes that are used by the government and other sources to perpetuate our condition rather than alleviate it. And then on the third Sunday, the 31st of January, it is our intention to present to you the programme and the solutions of the organisation”.

Of course, Afrikan souls naturally determine their history continuum all-year-round. Yet still, special times of focus can be of vital empowerment. As Omowale Malcolm X eloquently reminds Afrikan souls:

“Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research”.
