Sacred Space

Sacred space has forever been major substance of Afrikan life. Special places of reverence are representations of the Creator Supreme, focal points for ancestor commune, spiritual energisers, gateways to the ethereal realm and so on. In the Afrikan worldview, sacred space is simply an extension of the self. Divinity, therefore emanates from the spirit people of Creation to create these special places of reverence. In essence then, the divine Afrikan self is a representation of the Creator Supreme, a focal for ancestor communion, a spiritual energiser, a gateway to the ethereal realm and so on. Outwardly, sacred spaces are functional reminders of this profound phenomena of the sacred universe and provide the spiritual and cultural tools, symbolically and otherwise to effect the harmonious interconnectedness between that which is ethereal and the physical realm. In Afrikan tradition these special places of reverence are shrines. From the home to places of global significance the Afrikan shrine is an important facet in the maximal flourishing of the shrine of self. The Kiswahili word for shrine is Madhabahuni.

With the horror of the Maafa of recent centuries, enemy forces unleashed the most diabolical forms of genocide upon Afrikan souls. The sacred self was murderously tortured into becoming an ‘object’ for use and abuse whose sole function was serve the criminal and psychopathic so-called master. Disastrously, with the Afrikan not being able to fully express his or her divine self the special places of reverence throughout the Afrikan world were rendered neglected, un-manifest or destroyed. The so-called master then imposed bogus replacements for the Afrikan to revere. Trinkets, the various trappings of contemporary religious doctrine and other vices were imposed to render the Afrikan perpetually servile.

Brilliantly, the resilient and blessed Afrikan was able to retain in many ways substance of self and shrines were established wherever and whenever possible. To this day, Afrikan souls throughout the world still express the divinity of self by having special places of reverence in their homes. No longer treating consumer appliances supplied by foreign agency as items to revere. Afrikans are firmly on the restorative path to having homes with a special place for spiritual and cultural focus. This is living memory from the most ancient of times, where Afrikan homes emerging from the context of self-governance were insightfully designed to hold that special place. The intent of others is to shape Afrikan homes with alien forms and predetermined layouts for consumer appliances. If the Afrikan can be made to worship having a plasma screen and its programming content then the Afrikan will surely worship its foreign provider. This is bogus to say the least. Afrikans must determine space for themselves and the home is key. Ultimately, Afrikans will again become the architects and builders of their own living space with in-built focal places of reverence.

Having a shrine at home reverberates throughout the space energising the place that is for multitudes of Afrikan souls their most intimate. Should every Afrikan soul factor into their living space a shrine the spiritual and cultural energies throughout the world will abound magnificently in oneness. Community or shrines of the nation can again become great and expansive extensions of phenomena that exists in the home.  

The spiritual and cultural fabric of Afrikan life provides the Afrikan with the essentials for maximum flourishing and therefore reflects the imperative of victory in the fight for liberty and nationhood. As a firm fixture in life, Afrikan shrines are reflective of this. Therefore, the shrine of Afrikan simply enshrines the best of the Afrikan and global Afrikan ascendancy. In this, having a Madhabahuni is a progressive, holistic and wonderful must in Afrikan life.

The forthcoming observance of Kimungu Madhabahuni (Divine Shrine) is an observance period with a focus on shrine empowerment. During this period a visit to a special place of significance and reverence in the betterment of Afrikan souls becomes a necessary spiritual and cultural energiser. In whatever locale Afrikan people are, there ought to be a place or places of reverence in this light. Taking the time to visit one such place is reaffirmation of divine self in the mission for and maintenance of liberty.

Kimungu Madhabahuni takes place during the holiday period associated with the spring equinox. At this time many people are away from the mundane of the various institutions albeit largely as a dictate of presently popular foreign religious doctrine. This therefore, can allow many more Afrikan people the time and space to restore, elevate and be themselves freely in reverence at their own special places.

A wonderful way to restore the collective ascendancy through shrine elevation 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.
