Celebrating Economy of Self

Afrikan souls steeped in their authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) naturally hold upright economic functioning. With governance of their resources and the thrust of continual ascension of self, the realisation of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist became an inevitability.  Here, Afrikan people’s economic reputation of rightful order and high standing reflected the superlative level of civilisation that their self-economy serviced.

According to contemporary mainstream source, the term economic reputation attracts the following detail:  

“In an economic context, "reputation" refers to the perception and evaluation of an entity's (like a business or individual) trustworthiness, credibility, and overall standing in the market”.

“Afrikan economic reputation refers to the high standing that self-determined upright qualities lived and expressed amongst Afrikan souls in their economic functioning to service their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere naturally yields. Through rightful self-governance of their resources (an activity naturally rooted in authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise)) Afrikan souls garner qualities of trustworthiness and integrity amongst themselves in their economic endeavours for ascension of rightful order regardless of geographical locale”.

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to concoct, push and peddle a false reputation for themselves as a guise to mask their exploitative wrongdoings against Afrikan people and to perpetuate self-serving myths to ‘validate’ continued ill-exploits. At the same time, those of ill may also attempt to destructively impose a false reputation intended to misrepresent Afrikan souls as unworthy of their own rightful economic functioning and thriving.

According to another mainstream source, the term false reputation attracts the following detail:

“A false reputation refers to a reputation that is not based on truth, but rather on falsehoods or misrepresentations. It's a reputation that has been damaged or tarnished by untrue or harmful statements about a person. This can be caused by various forms of defamation, such as slander (spoken lies)”.

Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikan people can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day life. Souls surely ought to avoid being consumed by petty jealousies and negative egotisms to destructively act against those uprightly missioning for Afrikan economic ascension or otherwise. Perpetrating acts of wilful deceit and deception intended to bring harm to targeted souls of rightful order is both despicable and fulfilment of a destructive role by proxy.

Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service by safeguarding against such folly and reclaim knowledge of themselves 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.
