Celebrating Economy of Self

For Afrikan souls to have been so successful in their establishment of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to have existed, they necessarily had to have been successful at their economic functioning in order to realise the result. As such, there is much by way of self-determined economic experience that Afrikan souls can draw upon by delving into the knowledge of their journeying that brought about such success. Yet, the detail of this account will focus on an introductory look at success in terms of Afrikan economy.
According to contemporary source:
“A successful economy is one that effectively and sustainably provides for the well-being of its citizens. It's not just about economic growth, but also about ensuring basic needs are met, promoting social well-being, and fostering a healthy environment. Key aspects include a strong and stable economy, equitable distribution of resources, and a focus on long-term sustainability”.
In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience at the shared level of 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:
“A successful Afrikan economy is a self-determined one that effectively and sustainably provides for the well-being of Afrikan people here, there and elsewhere. It’s not just about the necessary norm of Afrikan economic growth, but also about ensuring that the rightful and fundamental needs of Afrikan souls are met regardless of geographical locale. In this, promotion of social and other forms of Afrikan well-being can be brought to the fore, fostering healthy environments for this primary people’s fullest flourishing and security. Key aspects include a strong, stable and functioning Afrikan economy of rightful order with equitable distribution of Afrikan resources amongst the Afrikan number and a focus on perennial sustainability and their continual thriving”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to bring about the downfall of Afrikan economic success through a variety of nefarious means. Whether through outright invasion, conquest, colonisation, enslavement, theft or other forms of destructive imposition, the only ‘success’ intended is for dire disorder at best. Bolstered with an onslaught of anti-Afrikan propaganda, perpetrators and susceptible Afrikan souls steeped in unknowingness of themselves may consider the Afrikan unworthy of any kind of economic success and act accordingly.
Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikan people can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. It would surely be a self-destructive travesty if Afrikan souls were to ‘pray for’ – or otherwise attempt to - bring about the downfall of upright efforts for a thriving Afrikan economy. Surely Afrikan souls ought to avoid becoming the misguided tools of wilfully destructive deceitful and deceptive ill-conduct intended to target and render harm upon souls of rightful order in mission of Afrikan ascension. Indeed, petty jealousies and the like that fuel vile gossip-mongering, spreading of falsehoods and other wrongdoings are despicable at best.
Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service to bring about their shared success with the recovery of self-knowingness and their 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.
