Secure Kwanzaa In Order for Kwanzaa to Secure the Self

The security of cultural fabric for Afrikan souls is a form of ensuring security for themselves. If Afrikan souls establish their own way of life that serves their best interest then it is that self-determined way of life that empowers the ascension of self. Therefore, for Afrikan souls to secure their own way of life is for Afrikan souls to make effort to secure themselves. Of course, a way of life is meaningful when lived. This is the living knowingness that Afrikan souls have held since the beginning and out of which has inevitably emerged the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. This is not through happenstance but through the Afrikan souls determination of rightful order and upright expression from rooted security.

With the Maafa of recent centuries others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to destroy the natural means by which Afrikan souls secure themselves. Where in-roads of damage have materialised dysfunction surely ensues. Indeed, the damage to, or even the removal of, rooted cultured security can open dire floodgates for contaminants of ill concocted, pushed and peddled by alien forces to pour in undeterred. Amongst the barrage of ills are the ill-contaminants of misogyny, misandry, feminism and the thrust for a gynocracy. These, and a host of other ills, cannot simply evaporate or miraculously take no effect simply through an approach of wilful ignorance. Yet, if allowed to fester can devastate Afrikan life.

Hence, such ills clearly ought not be a feature of nor perpetuated in the very vehicles of natural empowerment that Afrikan people necessarily engage in. From study to work to creative expression and so on. Whatever the outward form, at the natural core of Afrikan life is its spiritual-cultural engagement. If at the core level of engagement alien contaminant ills take hold then the outward expressions of life will surely reflect that contaminant.

For example, if at the core spiritual-cultural level misandry, feminism and the thrust for a gynocracy festers. Then those same ills will permeate the totality of life’s expression if disorder festering at the core level is adhered to.  Here, any sign of upright Afrikan masculine manhood can be energised to be erroneously perceived as something to destroy, diminish or otherwise nullify. Likewise, any sign of rightful feminine womanhood can be energised to be erroneously perceived as something to destroy, diminish or otherwise nullify. Here, relations formed anew in wholesome substance can be key.  

Brilliantly, Afrikan souls have made exceptional efforts to restore core cultural fabric to empower their lives. One exceptional example of this is the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa brought into being through the pioneering efforts of the Us organ. This seven-day observance period holds a progressive array of deeply meaningful symbols and a powerful set of values known as the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles).

As with any upright self-determined Afrikan cultural observance Kwanzaa surely ought to be safeguarded from alien contaminant ills in order that it can continue to empower Afrikan life with necessary cultured security. Here then, as Afrikan souls secure Kwanzaa, Afrikan souls are also making effort to secure themselves. Of course, security is not an empty endeavour in that Kwanzaa is protected in name or conception only. This is participatory observance, symbols and values and its security surely ought to describe the protection of upright cultured living.  

Throughout the various levels of the self the celebration, values and symbols of the Kwanzaa observance can be a great boon:
