Celebrating Economy of Self

Afrikan souls can naturally provide themselves with incentives at a functional level of day-to-day living to optimise efforts for their continual upright ascension and security here, there and elsewhere. One such provision may be in the form of economic rewards.
According to a mainstream source:
“An economic reward is a benefit, typically financial, given in return for a specific action or achievement, often used to motivate individuals or organisations to behave in a certain way”.
In order to bring focus specifically upon 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 something like the following:
“An Afrikan economic reward is a resource benefit that Afrikan souls can provide to souls organisations or other groupings amongst their number for upright action or achievement in service of Afrikan people’s fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. This can carry the benefit of being an incentive for souls to bring forth their efforts in the best ways possible to realise continual Afrikan ascension of rightful order. Such incentive is naturally a tertiary addition to rooted core mainstay energisers embedded within the foundations of authentic cultural living (creatively restored or otherwise)”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to attempt to destroy natural systems of Afrikan economic reward. Here, ill-efforts may be deployed to impose sanctions, block or otherwise derail Afrikan access to their own rightful resources and thus curtail the ability Afrikan souls have to economically reward themselves in service of Afrikan ascension. Attempts at ill-imposition may be preceded-by or laced with malicious anti-Afrikan smear campaigns as a vice of false justification to destructively set upon a given target.
Certainly, there are lessons the Afrikan can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in safeguarding themselves from being ill-consumed to wilfully and destructively carry out economic sanction, blocking and the like against souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension. Perpetrators engaged in deceitful, deceptive and activity with wilful intent to bring down souls of upright self-determined ascension energise doom that in no way excludes the misguided perpetrating self. Acting on petty jealousies with such things as harmful gossip-mongering laden with concocted falsehoods is a form of anti-Afrikan propaganda or worse. Ill-examples of wilful destruction may materialise in various ways, yet purposeful engagement in such wrongdoing, attempts to gain or amplifying support intended to effect disorder and the like is despicable activity. Indeed, this can be seen as self-destructive activity by proxy of ill-meaning others.
Surely, Afrikan souls have a duty and responsibility to themselves to secure Afrikan economy and economic functioning (including self-determined reward systems to service their continual ascension and otherwise). Key in this is the recovery of 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.
