Celebrating the Great Afrikan History Continuum

The Afrikan historical experience encompasses a vast array of topic areas upon which Afrikan souls can focus and can draw learning and lessons from. Historical topic areas of importance from the Afrikan continuum are naturally determined by this primary people for themselves to inform their present and future unfolding. As such, their continual ascension and security is empowered by their historical inheritances.

A contemporary mainstream source offers some indication of topic areas the study of history may include in what may be perceived as some ‘general’ sense:  

“History is the study of change over time, and it covers all aspects of human society. Political, social, economic, scientific, technological, medical, cultural, intellectual, religious and military developments are all part of history”.

Another mainstream source offers the following description in relation to historical topics:

“Some topics studied in world history include wars, diplomatic efforts, social movements, regional history focusing on several countries in a common part of the world, communications, trade patterns, and environmental issues”.

Certainly, the topic areas considered important for study and examination by Afrikan souls may radically differ from those put forth by others. Way of life, worldview, conditions and circumstance can be important drivers in determining topic areas of focus. For example, the principle positioning of ‘wars’ in the list of topic areas detailed in the second source may be a noteworthy reflection of a conflict-driven thrust in the existence of others.

Thus, whilst these mainstream sources may provide some level of indication for Afrikan souls, care ought to be taken so as not to deny the uniqueness and special qualities of the Afrikan experience. As such, to bring focus specifically upon Afrikan souls, it is considered pertinent to adapt the sourced detail to reflect this primary people’s experience. The result may look something like the following:

“Afrikan history (amongst much else) can be seen as a way in which Afrikan souls engage with their self-determined transformations over time. Learning and lessons can be gleaned from such engagement ranging across the vast panorama of topic areas encompassed by the experiences brought forth by themselves. Topic areas of focus may include: spiritual-cultural, self-governmental, economic, scientific, technological, medical, intellectual, military and social developments as a part of self-determined historical examination. At the same time, historical topics engagement for this primary people is not restricted to geographical locale and applies to the Afrikan whether located here, there or elsewhere. All of this in service of continual Afrikan ascension and security”.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to determine the historical topics of their choosing in relation to their history to empower optimal thrust for their fullest flourishing. To do otherwise would surely be travesty of acute limitation at best.  The historical topic areas of grand civilisation are a natural norm for this primary people. Learning and development in this regard may well be worthy of the descriptor vital. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.

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).

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
