Celebrating Economy of Self

It is natural for Afrikan souls to grow their economy of self. Indeed, it would be a travesty at best for this primary people of creation to experience any form of economic decline, them being naturally endowed with exceptional abundance of natural resource. Yet, during times of interruption and disruption, an outcome of a decline in, or even total devastation of, an Afrikan economy of self can be caused via the imposition of others that mean the Afrikan ill. This of course, is destructively oppositional to the self-determined growth and development that Afrikan souls naturally engage in for the betterment of themselves here, there and elsewhere.
According to a mainstream source:
“economic growth is an increase in the quantity and quality of the economic goods and services that a society produces”.
In relation to economic growth another mainstream source adds that:
“everyone has the opportunity to thrive”.
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 something that looks like the following:
“A form of Afrikan economic growth is an increase in the quantity and quality of self-determined economic goods and services that Afrikan souls produce from which their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere is empowered perennially. From this, the entire Afrikan world community naturally establish for themselves the opportunities for all amongst their number to thrive”.
Despite attempts to destroy Afrikan economic growth by those that mean the Afrikan ill, it is Afrikan souls themselves that surely must engage in and safeguard their economic growth. Anti-Afrikan propaganda, ill-vices set to induce neglect or complete abandonment of self-economy by the Afrikan and the like ought not be allowed to take hold in the lives of Afrikan souls. Rather, Afrikans must surely and naturally have their economy growing into bloom.
Certainly, upright efforts by Afrikan souls even at the person level of day-to-day living can make a contributory forward step of progression in this regard. This includes, avoiding wilfully destructive behaviours via malicious gossip mongering, deceit, deception and the like targeted at souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension (economically and otherwise). Indeed, an ill-consumed mindset that somehow ‘sees’ rightful Afrikan economic growth as contemptuous motivating intentional acts intended to bring harm to such upright progress is something to be avoided. The Afrikan ought not be misled into being a tool of self-destruction by proxy. Afrikan economy is to be built and necessarily requires constructive upright effort from the people whom it serves. Afrikan economic growth is naturally nourished by Afrikan people's self-knowledge and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). 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.
