Celebrating Economy of Self

Afrikan souls are naturally rooted to their core substance of shared beingness. Sure, there are outward expressions that vary from place to place, yet at the same time this primary people steeped in knowingness of themselves and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) hold a deep connection of core oneness that transcends geographical locale. Likewise, Afrikan economy at the level of shared oneness naturally reflects Afrikan core beingness. This can be considered as vital functioning for soul people here, there and elsewhere.
According to a mainstream source the term core economy attracts the following detail:
“The "core economy" refers to the central and vital parts of an economy, often characterised by high population density, strong infrastructure, and good communication networks. It's where the majority of economic activity and prosperity are concentrated”.
In order to bring focus specifically 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:
“Afrikan core economy refers to the central and vital parts of self-determined economy, characterised by the collective of Afrikan souls steeped in knowingness of themselves and authentic cultured living here, there and elsewhere. In this, Afrikan natural resources, strong infrastructures and robust communication/transportation networks and the like service Afrikan fullest flourishing and security. It is where self-determined Afrikan economic activity can have its greatest potency to realise Afrikan prosperity and continual ascension of rightful order regardless of geographical locale”.
Unfortunately, and by converse, others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to push Afrikans away from their economic core to function in the realms of an economic periphery or worse. According to another mainstream source:
“Peripheral economies are characterised by lower levels of economic development, infrastructure, and access to resources”.
Others of ill may indeed orchestrate the building of ‘infrastructure’, ‘communication’ or ‘transportation’ networks that seemingly appear to be Afrikan or for Afrikan benefit when in actuality such ‘developments’ may be set to service ill-interests alone. This is tantamount to a scheme of grand deception and the destructive attempt to perpetually rob Afrikan souls of their economic core whilst perpetrators bogusly pose as ‘do-gooders’.
Certainly, Afrikan souls have lessons they can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Afrikan souls surely ought to avoid attempting to rob souls of rightful Afrikan ascension of their core functioning by proxy. Ill-intentioned and calculated strategies to first malign a target with malicious gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods and then to attempt to take the place of the set upon soul motivated by petty jealousies, negative egotisms and the like to establish pseudo-core functioning of dire disorder is despicable at best. The wilfully destructive deceitful and deceptive behaviours of dire wrongdoing to ‘isolate’ or get the target ‘out the way’ and bring about schemes of economic destruction is an open and most welcoming invitation to doom. Unfortunately, such disorder can lend itself to amplification by attracting ‘supportive’ numbers gullible enough to fall for the folly.
Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in the recovery of self-knowingness and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). Here, Afrikan core upright functioning in self-determined economy or other necessary life spheres can be realised. 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.
