Siku ya Dunia (Earth Day) - The Living History of Self

From the magnificent creative pallet of sacred universe the Creator Supreme brought forth the earth into being and blessed it with its first and marvellous people – the Afrikan.  The Afrikan conception of a person’s Earth Day lies in the process of creation itself. The Earth Day of the Afrikan is the day an Afrikan child emerges from the process within the protective waters of the womb to experience the earthly plane with direct physical contact for him or herself. This is wonderful occurrence to celebrate as a part of the ever-ascending Afrikan history continuum. It is a feature of life for every Afrikan soul well-known or otherwise.  The Earth Day is a journey beginning. A living history of self to unfold with all of the great potential and capability that spirit powered physical presence has to yield in full. This day is especially important for the young ones as it marks celebration of rite for becoming adult.  

The emergence of Afrikan sacred life in the physical sense is wonderful to celebrate. A firm part of celebrating new life is to bestow upon him or her carefully selected Afrikan names aligned with time of year, circumstance, substance of being or that which is envisioned for the child. Annual Earth Day cycles are times of substance filled celebrations marking the anniversary of the day upon which the young one came to physically be. The energies of the day of emergence whether on Jumaane (referred as Tuesday in foreign speak), on Siku ya Jua – the day of the Sun, (or whichever) are reaffirmed and revitalised. It is not only this way for the person of the day but with all those participating in celebratory activities. Sometimes this day is powerfully and explicitly attributed to the person in name ie. a person can be named based upon the spiritual energy of particular day as Jumaane or Mwajuma and so on. In the grand continuance and shared fabric each participant is celebrated in turn on their annual cycle and where times are shared between persons enriched creative flow of empowerment is exponentially enlivened.

The powerful eternity of Afrikan naming cannot be underestimated at all levels. For the self to be without an Afrikan name an individual can be rendered acutely vulnerable to enemy ills. Certainly, removal of Afrikan names and language became institutionalised by the wicked alien during the Maafa of recent centuries. The enemy intended the Afrikan Earth Day to be reduced to a debris of aesthetic short-lived disposable ‘feel good’ pseudo-celebratory moments void of holistic empowerment of spirit substance for eternal elevation. Unfortunately, this dire absence detrimentally bled into the total approach for an all year round less-than-self existence.  In the Afrikan wisdom tradition from the most ancient of times this is emphasised in absolute terms thus: ‘In the absence of a name an individual ceased to exist’.

Occurrence from the vast realms of the Afrikan history continuum can be highlighted on this day. For example, if the child is birthed into the world on the 1st day of Fakihi (referred to as January by foreigners). This is the day when the victory of the mighty Haitian revolution was officialised. Or, perhaps the shared earth-day of a Great Ancestor. The acknowledgement of great times such as these that occur on the same Earth Day of focus enriches the spirit flow of ascendancy on the celebratory day and beyond. The ethereal energies of victorious empowerment for Afrikan liberty and nationhood can be greatly brought to the fore and imbibed by all as celebration of the person of the day unfolds.

An Afrikan’s Earth-Day marks the cyclical eternal self-determined milestones of the living Afrikan history continuum. Life’s physical journeying and beyond is the thrust toward to the divine perfectibility of the Creator Supreme. In this, righteousness is elevated and disorder and disfunction is vanquished. From the early stories of Afrikan life cultivation one can see depictions of the great and mighty deity Heru (mislabelled Horus by foriegners) as:

 A young one being nurtured in the guiding and protective and guiding arms of knowing adulthood.

A growing child accompanied by guiding and protective presence of adulthood.

An adult the victorious monarch, warrior and bringer of that which is just and right.

A spouse in divine and harmonious lovingness.

An elder of guiding wisdom.

Forever living in or on the horizon.

Afrikans from generation to generation ahead imbibe the powerful spirit of Heru with the grand accolade of his name, even becoming known as a living Heru.

The seasons of nature where elements of the sacred universe harmonise to create, nurture and  energise life for vegetational growth or otherwise is living illustration for growth and development of divine Afrikan life.  Thus, the story of Heru naturally holds wisdom on the seasons of the Afrikan cultivation of self and the sacred universe at large. Thus, the history of the Afrikan self takes it’s in centrality of sacred expanse highlighting the importance of every Afrikan to make their rightful self-determined history.  

Unfortunately, much has been disrupted by the wicked foreign forces of anti-Afrikan agency in the Maafa of recent centuries and the Afrikan history continuum has taken a devasting blow. However, Afrikan souls are again taking charge of their own making of the history of self and bringing into being process that allows the continuum to ascend into full flourishing. The alien vagabond pirates of dire ill are then the disfunction and ill imposed upon the world as contemporary incarnates of abject disfunction and disorder manifest in the first telling of Heru’s journey. The Afrikan divine souls of the world are the living Heru destined to restore themselves to wholeness.

For the young, Earthday’s are special times with additional emphasis placed on those at 7, 9 and 13 (important stages of elevation). Whatever else these divine ones may engage in for foreign mainstream activity (academia or otherwise). It is imperative that Afrikans take the helm to independently develop their young. The rite of passage for the young in substance is inherent throughout life and is holistic. The Afrikan adults must surely then bring rite to be in the lives of these precious developing souls.

Here, are a sample of overarching elements for growth and development for young ones as they mature to each special age at foundational level in relation to the Afrikan history continuum. This is of course is possible only when the guiding hands of adulthood are themselves actively knowing of and developing the Afrikan history continuum and necessary detail is built into life's learning and journey.  On the Earth Day celebration for each special age acknowledgement of achievements can be made in a number of marvellous ways whether through ingathering, ritual, music, dance, gift giving and so on.  

Siku ya Dunia Saba (Earth Day Seven)

Living knowingness of the Creator Supreme expressed through Afrikan language (Mungu in Kiswahili).

Know the role the Great Afrikan Ancestors have throughout Afrikan life and have basic recognition and knowledge of important heroes and sheroes of the Afrikan continuum.

Siku ya Dunia Tisa (Earth Day Nine)

Greater development on the above with (specifically) increased depth of living knowingness with understanding of the powerful lessons that can be learnt from the Afrikan Afrikan history continuum.  

Siku ya Dunia ya Kumi na Tatu (Earth Day Thirteen)

Greater development on the above with informed and rooted preparations of adulthood roles and responsibilities for the imperative of global Afrikan ascendancy taking more focussed shape.  

There is much to restore to Afrikan life at the more detailed levels.  However, consideration and living application of the above can surely yield vast progress. Beyond thirteen the self-determined Afrikan history of self continues and one of central ways in which rightful wisdom maturation flourishes through adulthood is for Afrikan souls to live their way in an organ of spiritual cultural fabric. One such organ is the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation where the observance of Afrikan Historia Msimu is celebrated in the annual cycle of life ascendancy.

Surely every Afrikan soul must learn from their global history continuum in order to bring the history continuum of self to its fullest fruition and determine the history continuum of self to come. Afrikan history is living history. The observance of Afrikan Historia Msimu is in Afrikan life.

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.
