Cultural Tapestry

There are many ways wonderful ways to describe the magnificent substance of the Afrikan continuum of past, present and future. The blessed essentials of life that have been with the Afrikan since time immemorial continue to live with the Afrikan in the present and will continue with the Afrikan into an evermore glorious eternity to come. The foundational fabric of life from which the Afrikan expresses the true self is a beautifully woven spiritual and cultural tapestry that is a great inheritance of each generation and each generation to come.  This is living tradition and is symbolically represented in the natural beauty of interwoven organic artistry of a straw mat. The Kiswahili word for straw mat is Mkeka.

Since the horror filled disruption of the Maafa Afrikan people have been subjected to a barrage of wicked strategy to destroy their organic flow of tradition at the hands of foreign enemy forces. Evil mechanisms to mis-engineer the Afrikan mind in an attempt to render tradition as being undesirable, unfashionable or something to discard have been sinisterly deployed. Here wholesome tradition that allows the Afrikan to achieve maximum potential and maximum capability have been replaced bogusly with imposed ways of existence that serve the best interest of others and are (at the same time) of detriment to the Afrikan.  The intent of the enemy to mis-engineer the Afrikan into having social and historical amnesia – to forget might of who and what they truly are void of their natural continuum. Bogus experiences with synthetic pseudo-traditions that are ‘fashionable’ have been catastrophically induced   are simply reflective of genocidal enemy imposition.  This surely cannot be left to be the perpetual mis-inheritance of Afrikan souls.

Terribly, the lingering legacy of enemy imposition can mean that the mere mention of the word tradition can conjure up false thoughts of old irrelevancy in the unknowing Afrikan’s mind’s eye. Thankfully, as ever-greater numbers of Afrikan people become more knowledgeable about who and what they are dispense with enemy induced falsehoods and once again understand the power of the organic flow of true tradition and its superlative progressiveness within Afrikan life.  

Progressive Afrikan-centred tradition organically grows with the ever-ascending Afrikan and is an imperative for the continuum of the marvellous spirit ones of Creation. The tradition-history continuum of past, present and future is at the foundation of life experience and is firm fabric from which to eternally build. The carefully woven straw mat of life is placed in order for the positioning of other life expressions. This is the living woven foundation. This is the living Mkeka.

A wonderful way to make real progressive Afrikan tradition is for the Afrikan to organise him or herself in an organ working 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.
