Upright Empowerment of an Economy of Self: What of Economic Self-Interest?

Afrikan economy naturally services the needs of Afrikan people. This is obvious to state and realise, except in times of acute disruption and interruption where others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to skew the reality of Afrikan natural norms. Here, Afrikan souls may be misled to perceive ‘normality’ in the total abandonment or neglect of their natural self-economy whilst being shoehorned into exclusively servicing the ‘economies’ of others.  

To highlight the meaning of economic self-interest a contemporary mainstream source offers the following detail:

“In economics, self-interest refers to an individual's or group's desire to maximize their own financial gain or benefit in a given situation. It's a core concept in understanding economic behaviour, as it's often assumed that people make decisions that they believe will be most advantageous for themselves. This doesn't necessarily mean selfishness, but rather a rational choice based on what is perceived as best for the individual or group”.

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 a result that looks something like the following:

“Self-determined Afrikan economy naturally holds the quality of self-interest. This refers to Afrikan people’s rightful thrust to maximise their own economic gain or benefit in a given situation to service the fullest flourishing and security of Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere. In this, Afrikan souls can make decisions that they consider to be most advantageous for their continual ascension of rightful order. In so doing, rightful order can unselfishly be established in the world as Afrikan natural resources whether in peoplehood or environmental are self-governed with upright rational self-determined choices made regarding their best use for this primary people of creation regardless of geographical locale”.    

Twistedly, others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to adopt a posture of pretence where pronouncements are made to seemingly be in the best interests of Afrikan people, but are merely a ‘smokescreen’ to disguise harmful activity or worse. To those meaning the Afrikan ill, any upright thrust of self-determined Afrikan economy can be seen as a ‘terror’, simply because Afrikan economic thriving naturally denies the theft and exploitation of resources from a mindset plagued with delusions of colonising or enslaving overlordship.  

Certainly, there are lessons that the Afrikan can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day life. The Afrikan ought not to allow the self to be consumed with ills to such extent as to attempt to wilfully destroy upright efforts for Afrikan economic self-interest to flourish by proxy. Perpetrators may pretend to be in support of Afrikan souls of rightful order missioning for Afrikan ascension, yet in actuality work to oppose it. Plagued with petty jealousies and the like, the plotting of deceptive schemes and operating in deceitful ways can be mainstay dysfunction in the perpetrator’s existence. Still, it is Afrikan souls who must safeguard themselves from such destructive folly and determine Afrikan economic self-interest to be. 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.
