Celebrating Economy of Self

The abundant, natural and rightful wealth of Afrikan souls has been with the Afrikan from the beginning. Indeed, the natural resources of the Afrikan continent are vast and allowed Afrikan souls to establish the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Throughout their natural norm of optimal thriving Afrikan souls were empowered with superlative levels of economic abundance that serviced each generation to the next on a continual basis.

In the contemporary world Afrikan souls surely ought to claim their economic ancestry whether they are located here, there or elsewhere. This surely requires that Afrikan souls have a level of self-knowingness and some semblance of authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) for such necessary engagement.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, albeit at the microcosmic of a family unit, the following is true:

“"Economic ancestry" refers to the transmission of socioeconomic status, including income, wealth, and occupation, across generations within a family. It encompasses how factors like family background, education, and access to resources influence an individual's economic standing compared to their ancestors”.

In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience in the wider sphere of a whole people, and at the level of shared core oneness that this soul people naturally hold, adaption of the sourced detail is considered apt. In so doing, something that looks like the following may result:

“Afrikan economic ancestry refers to the self-determined transmission of wealth and resources naturally and uprightly shared across generations amongst Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere. It encompasses souls of Afrikan origin naturally holding a level of self-knowingness and steeped in a level of authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) as they mission in rightful order for the fullest flourishing and security of Afrikan people regardless of geographical locale in keeping with their ancestral norm of rightfully shared resource accessibility and the realisation of optimal civilisation”.

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to attempt to derail Afrikan people from the knowledge of who and what they are with intent to destroy the natural and rightful flow of Afrikan economic ancestry. Lies, deceit and deception may be the ill-vices utilised for attempted derailment with machineries of anti-Afrikan propaganda being the vehicles of deployment.

Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikan people can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Surely Afrikan souls can avail themselves to recover knowingness of themselves and their authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) in order to realise their rightful economic ancestry. At the same time, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in avoiding becoming totally consumed by ill-vices to carry out wilfully destructive acts of deceit, deception and falsehood in order to attempt to bring down souls of rightful Afrikan ascension by proxy. The acutely wasteful haemorrhaging of time, energy and resource to commit ills of destructive wrongdoing is a despicable slap in the face of economic ancestry of self at best.

Instead, upright efforts to secure thriving Afrikan economy to better Afrikan life here, there and elsewhere is surely time, energy and resources well invested for continual ascension.   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.
