Celebrating the Shrine of Self and Shrine Space
Afrikan souls, as the primary people of the world, are beyond
doubt of natural and superlative excellence. From the beginning this powerful
people have elevated themselves to the grand heights of pinnacle civilisation,
unmatched in magnificence and longevity. Throughout their natural norm of
self-determined living this people have pulled together their energies to build
their own institutions of life as fundamental to lifting themselves to the
greatest of heights. Deeply meaningful symbols of powerfulness in reverence of
the Creator Supreme, rightful living and order were necessarily developed by
this people to punctuate and reinforce their continual ascension in life. One
such symbol came to the fore with the gesture of holding what has become
recognised today as the power fist. Out of the interruptions and disruptions of
recent centuries of the Maafa, Afrikan souls have rightfully and vitally sought
to restore their own cultural fabric. As such, the power fist has been (amongst
other things) restored in the gesture of Harambee (To pull together). By
extending the arm upwardly with the digits of the hand separated and then
pulling the arm down towards the body whilst bringing the digits of the hand
together into a clenched fist represents the powerfulness of Afrikan souls
coming together. This gesture of Harambee emerging in contemporary times as a
grand feature of the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa is a symbol of empowerment
for the Afrikan world.
Of course, the coming together of Afrikan souls for building, mission and purpose of their own ascension remains of reverence to the Creator Supreme. As such, applying the concept and symbol of Harambee to the levels of the Afrikan self: the Afrikan person self, the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union, the Afrikan family, the Afrikan community, the Afrikan nation and the Afrikan world community is surely natural and victorious to do.
The Harmonious and Complementary Afrikan Male-Female Union
From the earliest of times the union of the Afrikan male and Afrikan female has been considered of fundamental importance to Afrikan life’s flourishing, for it is from this coming together that the brilliancy of new and wholesome Afrikan life comes forth. As the natural norm the Afrikan male child is raised, cultivated and development to become the kingly masculine man that can establish the union with a queenly feminine woman. The queenly Afrikan woman likewise, is raised, cultivated and developed to be such from childhood. The harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union with its main and obvious components of the Afrikan kingly masculine man and the Afrikan queenly feminine woman, does not naturally exist in isolation.
The following are some suggestions from this author for the establishment and flourishing of the harmonious Afrikan male-female union in the contemporary context:
Living knowingness of the Creator Supreme for the coming forth of new life and familyhood is microcosmic creation manifest that warrants growth, development, ascension and safeguarding as such.
Living knowingness of the harmonious and complementary deified unions (Eg. Djehuti and Maat)
Living knowingness of the harmonious and complementary unions within the great ancestral realm (Eg.the Great Marcus Garvey and Amy Jacques Garvey).
Shared spiritual-cultural fabric of living and values (Eg. Afrikan Sprituality By Way of Kwanzaa (ASBWOK), the Kwanzaa cultural observance and the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) for upright Afrikan empowerment throughout the various spheres of life from governance and economy to creative expression.
Living experience of Afrikan souls who support the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-femle union. Specific learning, development and order relevant to the kingly masculine Afrikan man and specific learning, development and order relevant to the queenly feminine Afrikan woman are important in respect of the union or potential union. Also important is shared organised mission thrust. The shared learning, growth and development that applies to the union as a whole is a powerful life asset. For both parties to be a part of an organ missioning for the greater good of themselves and Afrikan ascension in the wider context is surely victorious living. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an example of vehicle that Afrikan souls can be a part of in this light.
The gesture of Harambee can certainly then relate to the pulling together the essential of the harmonious and complementary Afrikan male-female union. At this level of the self the digits of right hand can represent the togetherness of masculine man and the digits of the left hand can represent the togetherness of the feminine woman as the pulling together in unison to make the fists of oneness as part of the greater body or self. This is deeply meaningful for Afrikan ascension, as the Afrikan history continuum shows that through the male-female union life is brought forth and can maximally flourish. The Afrikan continuum also shows that the more Afrikan souls are divorced from ills of alien impositions and contaminants of ill the less likely Afrikan souls will divorce themselves. In this, such properly cultivated dynamics such as (if necessary) having age-gaps where the male is more senior to the female is surely not something to shy away from.
The order of Harambee for the harmonious and complementary male-female union is powerful indeed.
Kimungu Madhabahuni is a time of year to celebrate the Afrikan shrine at home and beyond. Kimungu Madhabahuni takes place during the holiday period associated with the spring equinox. At this time many people are away from the mundane of the various institutions albeit largely as a dictate of presently popular foreign religious doctrine. This therefore, can allow many more Afrikan people the time and space to restore, elevate and be themselves freely in reverence at their own special places.Throughout the annual cycle of the spiritual and cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation observance to observance, Afrikan life is endowed with the essential of living knowingness. For the Afrikan souls, being a part of an organ for mission ascendancy is key. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is a spiritually and culturally rooted organ for Afrikan ascension.
The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
