Celebrating Economy of Self

The choices Afrikan people have made throughout their self-determined norm of optimal thriving facilitated their establishment of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Within this, decision-making processes within the realm of their self-economy necessarily held a level of effectiveness commensurate with the result.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:

“Economic selection generally refers to the process where certain economic behaviours, practices, or entities are favoured or chosen over others due to their efficiency, adaptability, or success in a given environment”.

In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience at the level of shared oneness that this soul people naturally hold, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. Alteration may yield something that looks like the following:

“Afrikan economic selection generally refers to the self-determined process where economic behaviours, practices or entities within Afrikan life are favoured or chosen over others due to their efficiency, adaptability or success in servicing Afrikan fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere”.  

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to attempt to impose a state of confusion upon Afrikan souls, where their decision-making processes become clouded or worse. Anti-Afrikan propaganda of various sorts may be deployed in the attempt to bring about destruction. Further, others of ill may try to concoct and present an array of ‘choices’ any one of which the Afrikan may ‘select’ only serves the best interests of those same others.

Certainly, there are lessons that the Afrikan can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Here, Afrikan souls ought not succumb to vices of ill and become agents of self-destruction by proxy. Indeed, wilful harm brought about by deceptive and deceitful behaviours set to destroy Afrikan efforts for rightful economic selections to be made are of dire disorder.  Wilfully destructive gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods intended to bring down souls rightfully missioning for ascension are despicable at best.

Steeped in knowingness of themselves and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise), Afrikan souls can determine choices that best service their interests for Afrikan optimality. Thus, if there is a deficit in such knowingness and cultural fabric, Afriakn souls surely have focussed self-determined efforts to bring forth. 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.
