Celebrating the Great Afrikan History Continuum

The great Afrikan history continuum
features a vast array of resources that are vital for Afrikan life’s flourishing
and security. Amongst this immense panorama of resources available to Afrikan is
their historical wisdom. Just as the Afrikan history continuum is of the past,
present and future histories - it is the Afrikan wisdom of the past that
empowers the Afrikan wisdom of the now and the Afrikan wisdom of tomorrow.
According to a contemporary mainstream source the word wisdom attracts the following detail:
“the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement; the quality of being wise”.
In the context history, another mainstream source offers the following description of wisdom:
“We define the wisdom of history as the ability to think historically, that is, to use the lessons of the past to make decisions in the present, and to plan for the future”.
Additionally, yet another mainstream source indicates that there are also categories for historical wisdom. Here, the qualifier of ancient is used which suggests there are other categories. If ancient wisdom can be highlighted, then so too can the wisdom of contemporary history, the wisdom of the present and also future wisdom. Again, this ties in with the past, present and future unfolding of the Afrikan history continuum:
“Ancient wisdom is the body of knowledge and insights that were accumulated by human civilisations over thousands of years”.
Bringing the sourced details together and with adaptation, focus can be placed specifically upon the Afrikan experience. The result may look something like the following:
“Afrikan historical wisdom is the body of knowledge and insights that Afrikan souls have accumulated, are accumulating and will continue to accumulate in service of their ascension and security. Spanning their continuum from the most ancient of Afrikan times, Afrikan historical wisdom is of the then, the now and the tomorrows to come. As such, the Afrikan is able to use the lessons of the past to make decisions in the present and plan for the future”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to attempt to severe Afrikan souls from Afrikan historical wisdom. Vices of ill such as miseducation and the like may be mainstay amongst the arsenal set for derailment. Yet, it is Afrikan souls themselves that hold the duty and responsibility to themselves to restore the levels of self-knowledge that equip them – not only to safeguard against ill-deeds – but also to continually ascend in rightful order on an optimal basis. Here, Afrikan historical wisdom provides this soul people with vital and bountiful empowerment.
If this primary people of creation were wise enough to have constructed the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to have existed, then surely with their wisdom restored they can do so again. This time armed with the lessons that will allow longevity to be of eternity.
Afrikan Historia Msimu is an observance period for the duration of the tenth month of the year (so-called October). This is a special time for learning, growth and development of the Afrikan experience in the world. It is a time of spiritual and cultural elevation as Afrikan history is restored to fabric of life in the living knowingness of the then, the now and tomorrow. Great ones of the Afrikan journey are highlighted and the symbols relevant to the time invigorate life in the imperative onward flow of global Afrikan ascendancy. This wonderful observance is a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
