Celebrating Economy of Self

Afrikan people have naturally and necessarily lead themselves to realise the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist throughout their norm of self-determined optimality. Just as the overall result of grand civilisation requires its upright thrust of Afrikan leadership, so too does its functional parts. One fundamental part is in the arena of economics.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“Economic leadership refers to the ability of individuals or groups to guide and influence economic systems, policies, and outcomes. It involves setting a vision, making strategic decisions, and fostering conditions that promote economic growth, stability, and prosperity for a nation, region, or organisation”.
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 result in something that looks like the following:
“Afrikan economic leadership refers to the self-determined ability of Afrikan souls to effectively govern and direct their own economic systems, policies and outcomes in service of Afrikan people’s fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. It involves setting a vision, making strategic decisions and fostering conditions that promote economic growth, stability and prosperity for Afrikan souls regardless of geographical locale”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may seek to destroy genuine Afrikan economic leadership and replace it with pseudo-leadership that works in favour of ill. If others of ill can – directly or by proxy - stunt Afrikan economic growth, destabilise Afrikan economic functioning of rightful order and nullify rightful prosperity for Afrikan souls, the disorderly conditions may allow for ready parasitic access to Afrikan resources to serve glutenous destructive whims. Indeed, the world-harming squabbles amongst those external to the Afrikan may rely on exploitative extraction of Afrikan resources to even exist. Here, the genuine and rightfully ordered leadership and self-governance associated with Afrikan economic resources is of critical importance.
Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikan souls can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Surely, Afrikan souls ought not allow themselves to wilfully and destructively become pseudo-leadership or agents of pseudo-leadership to bring harm to souls missioning for upright Afrikan economic functioning and ascension. Deceitful, deceptive behaviours such as wilfully destructive gossip-mongering, the spreading of falsehoods and other form of wrongdoing set to bring down upright souls of Afrikan ascension is despicable at best.
Through self-determined learning and development Afrikan souls can cultivate genuine leadership for themselves to allow rightful order and prosperity in Afrikan life to prevail. In this, the recovery of self-knowingness 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.
