Celebrating Economy of Self

It can be stated that the upright and functional relations between Afrikan souls are a fundamental feature of an Afrikan economy of self. For this primary people of creation, the economic relations that they hold amongst themselves are naturally rooted in authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) and as such hold and empower the qualities of integrity and thriving in service of continual Afrikan ascension of rightful order here, there and elsewhere. Certainly, with strong economic relations amongst themselves, Afrikan souls were able to establish the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“Economic relations encompass the interactions and connections between individuals, groups, or nations, focusing on the production, distribution, consumption, and exchange of goods, services, and resources. These relationships shape how economies function and change, influencing factors like resource allocation and financial systems”.
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 like the following:
“Afrikan economic relations encompass the upright interactions and connections between Afrikan souls throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self that have a focus on self-determined Afrikan economic functioning to service of the fullest flourishing and security of Afrikan people here, there and elsewhere. These relationships are naturally rooted in authentic Afrikan cultural fabric (creatively restored or otherwise) and are fundamental to Afrikan economy, its shaping, thriving and security”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may seek to destroy Afrikan economic relations and Afrikan economy and attempt to perpetually fleece Afrikan souls of their resources. Invasion, conquest and other types of overt attacks may be obvious forms of destructive imposition. Yet, perhaps less readily observable are the subtle deceitful and deceptive tactics such as the pushing and peddling of anti-Afrikan propaganda lauded as ‘news’ to bogusly attempt to sway opinion to consider the Afrikan as unworthy of any self-determined economic functioning. In this, the susceptible souls may be misled to conclude that Afrikan economic relations are not to be even given thought let alone be established.
Certainly, there are lessons that can be learned by Afrikan people from this, even at the person level day-to-day. Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in not succumbing to the ills of wilfully destructive self-sabotage when it comes to their necessary economic relations. Petty jealousies, negative egos and the like taking hold to motivate misguided souls into acts intended to discourage, hamper or bring harm to those rightfully missioning to bring forth necessary Afrikan relations is dire invitation to doom. Surely Afrikan souls ought not become ill-consumed to invade and destroy their own economic relational functioning by proxy.
Instead, Afrikan souls can surely express the natural duty and responsibility that they surely have to themselves to realise optimality in their economic relations and their economic functioning in service their fullest flourishing and security regardless of geographical locale. Here, 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.
