Remembrance in Learning

Afrikan people are without parallel in learning acumen. To fathom the substance of sacred life and universe has been at the forefront of the world’s most genius-filled pursuit of knowledge. As such Afrikans have an unending knowledge-based thrust to lift themselves in the development of the most superlative civilisations ever to exist. With the positive forward thrust of betterment toward perfectibility there has been an awareness and understanding of the alternate forces that can be made manifest. Just as there is the forthright and self-determined effort to realise truth, justice, righteousness, reciprocity, balance, harmony and order in the world – there is also the potential for untruth, injustice, unrighteousness, unrequitedness, imbalance, disharmony and disorder. The energies of disorder and disruptiveness were embodied in the Afrikan concepts such as that of Isfet and Yurugu. For the Afrikan, it is important to realise these energies in the world in order to safeguard righteous order. With holistic Afrikan learning comes remembrance and with remembrance comes learning in grand cyclical ascendancy spiralling upwardly toward ever greater excellence. The Kiswahili word to learn is Kujifunza.

The Maafa of recent centuries has unleashed Isfet and Yurugu via those who have sought to destroy Afrikan life and progress for the purposes of imposing a synthetic and barbarous exploitative alien rule. Afrikans were simply brutalised out of remembrance and learning. During the vicious chattel plantation assault, any Afrikan found to be reading was at risk of instant murder. In the continuing legacy of the abominable plantation epoch enemy forces realised they could not crush the inherent learning genius of Afrikan souls so the strategy moved from a complete ban with the penalty of slaughter for any attempted learning activity to a strategy of dictating what Afrikans learn. In this day, that same dictatorship of pre-manufactured learning material is peddled to Afrikan souls by way of foreign curricula, media and other mechanisms laden with anti-Afrikan content that uphold the imposition of subjugation by others who mean the Afrikan ill.

Fortunately, at every stage of the wicked onslaught the marvellous Afrikan souls have fought to defend and protect themselves and thus the world at large. Great ones have emerged throughout the generations to lift veil of confusion and reveal what is real. One such great one is the exceptional hero Omowale Malcolm X who has inspired progressive independent learning for Afrikan people since his coming. From his profound example of the study of self through history to the establishment of programmes of Afrikan studies (whatever they have been called). He made it absolutely clear that, ‘that of all our studies history is best qualified to reward our research’. Certainly, from one so great Afrikan people can learn much and he has become firm fabric of the Afrikan history continuum. In remembrance of him learning is key for the vision he made manifest and in the context of his martyrdom.  

The despicable forces of anti-Afrikan agency became terrified of prospect of global Afrikan freedom so clearly and forthrightly articulated by Omowale Malcolm X in words and in deeds. As such, these vile enemies plotted and schemed to remove the brilliant light of Afrikan order and righteousness exemplified by him. Afrikan people upright, organised, self-determining in the mission for global ascendancy was simply too much for the hostile enemy mind to accept. Consumed with their criminal avariciousness to hold on to their wicked exploitative ways the forces of anti-agency deployed the most sinister and murderous tactics in order to remove Omowale Malcolm X physically. This included, the puppeteering of Afrikan souls coerced outside of themselves to participate in that removal. Of course, with the coming of Omowale’s martyrdom his life and legacy became more magnified in spirit for ever-expanding multitudes of Afrikan souls in the generations of the time and throughout the generations ahead to imbibe and make manifest. In this, the wickedness of the enemy backfired with the inherent imperative to cease attack and murder upon Afrikan souls.

Afrikan souls have a divinely ascribed responsibility to work in the interest of their own people. As Afrikan people ascend so too does righteousness become restored in the world. No Afrikan should be attacked, murdered or otherwise set upon for the fulfilment of divine order regardless of their station in life. In this, Afrikan people must become knowledgeable enough in oneness to protect each other as the enemy continues attempts to destroy the natural state of Afrikans to maximally be. Those who can reach and progressively mobilise larger numbers of people may become subject to more concentrated targeting by hostile enemy forces. Omowale Malcolm X’s physical journey is replete with the sign-posts of this. The murderous intent to make Afrikans fearful of organising or otherwise doing for themselves is surely a notion that has been rightfully cast into oblivion as ever-greater numbers of Afrikans continue to learn in remembrance and self-organise for uplift of this marvellous people. Omowale Malcolm X continues to live. The futile depravity to destroy the progress of Afrikan people through the bogus barrage of vile covert and overt stratagem fell defeated time and time again. These sinister ploys signal the posturing of the desperate and pathetic anti-Afrikan forces who fear the inevitable – total Afrikan victory.  The integrity, strength and power Afrikans have held from ancient yesteryear is the same integrity, strength and power Afrikans can reclaim and develop in the now to bring about the imperative of victory that the warrior spirit Omowale Malcolm X envisioned and worked tirelessly to achieve.  

In remembering this great hero holistic learning is a must for with knowledge of self comes the study of natural self-preservation of a whole people and for it to be made real in life. No longer will Afrikans continue to be unknowing and susceptible to manipulative self-destructive stratagem of others. So steeped in the spiritual-cultural knowing of the self that the profoundest depth of the love of self is manifest throughout the Afrikan world – a natural and powerful self-protectiveness. This is enshrined within the grand cyclical ascendancy expressed in the annual remembrance observance of Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko. Kujifunza thrives and is embedded within the fabric of life of Afrikan souls throughout the world.

Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is a restorative spiritual and cultural observance providing a vehicle for Afrikan people to live their own way of life in the now and in time to come. Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). The 21st February 1965 (so-called) is the date of the martyrdom of this great hero and the URAN gathering for Kukumbuko takes place on Sunday 21st February (or nearest Sunday) on an annual basis.

A wonderful way to make the Afrikan remembrance continuum fabric of life is to become a part of an organ for Afrikan ascendancy.  The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
