Celebrating Economy of Self

Throughout the ages of their self-determined norm, Afrikan souls have established and governed space for themselves in which to conduct their necessary economic functioning. Indeed, such space is an important part of, and provides service to, this primary people’s overall norm of grand civilisation.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“"Economic space" broadly refers to a geographical area or region where economic activities, policies, and regulations are coordinated and integrated, often to create a more unified and efficient market”.
In order to bring focus to the Afrikan experience at the level of shared core oneness that this soul people naturally hold, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. Alteration may yield a result that looks something like the following:
“An Afrikan economic space can refer to a self-determined geographical area or region where Afrikan souls can establish and orchestrate their economic activities, policies and regulations that best serve their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. In this, self-determined efforts to coordinate, synthesise, render efficient and unify Afrikan markets and other Afrikan economic areas of functioning in service of continual Afrikan ascension of rightful order regardless of geographical locale can be secured”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to become the destructive invaders of Afrikan space. Posturing as do-gooders armed with token gestures that can mask a self-serving thrust to fleece Afrikan souls of their resources and rightful economic status of self-determined thriving, others of ill may attempt to trample upon the natural boundaries that secure Afrikan economic space with intent to coopt or destroy the space itself.
Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikans can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Where economic space of upright functioning is determined by Afrikan souls missioning for Afrikan ascension of rightful order an inherent level of boundary respect is surely due. In this, Afrikan souls surely ought not become the harassing, disruptive or harmful invaders of space by proxy. Wilfully destructive attempts to bring harm or cause disruption to souls operating upright Afrikan economic spheres disguised as ‘help’ or ‘support’ is despicable at best. Petty-jealousies, negative egotisms of dysfunctional disorder and the like surely ought to be avoided. Ill-vices such as malicious gossip-mongering, messaging and deceitful, deceptive behaviours bent on doom surely ought to be safeguarded against.
Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service by securing wholesomeness of themselves and their rightful economic spaces throughout the various levels of the self. In this, the recovery of self-knowledge and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) is key. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
