Celebrating Economy of Self

It is natural for Afrikan souls to support themselves to realise their continual thriving as a functional whole. Indeed, across generations, Afrikan souls supported each other to bring forth the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Amongst the spheres in which self-support for Afrikan souls – each to the next - attracted necessary importance in Afrikan life was that of economy. Of course, any such activity is naturally rooted in authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). Thus, genuine thrust and upright qualities of engagement could be secured.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“Economic support encompasses any form of financial assistance or inducement intended to help individuals, families, or organisations manage their financial situations or achieve economic growth”.
This same source also suggests that:
“Beneficiaries: Can be individuals, families, businesses, or even entire countries”.
In order to bring focus specifically to 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 something that looks like the following:
“Afrikan economic support encompasses forms of economic assistance or inducement (financial or otherwise) that Afrikan souls provide for themselves in service of their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self. In this, Afrikan souls can empower recipients amongst their number with help to realise economic growth that serves continual Afrikan ascension of rightful order regardless of geographical locale”.
Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may profess to offer Afrikan souls economic ‘support’ that may at a surface level glance seem to be of genuine substance, but in actuality is far from well-meaning to Afrikan life. Rather than being supportive of Afrikan economic growth (even if presented as such), ‘support’ can be a vice of economic regression, economic dependency or worse. If others that mean the Afrikan ill can put soul people in an economic stranglehold whilst bogusly presenting themselves as ‘doing good’ then ill-deeds and exploits may be perpetuated over time under a false guise of benefitting Afrikan life. Meanwhile, twistedly – regardless of outward proclamations of seeming plausibility – ‘support’ can simply be the support of self-serving ill-interests and wrongdoings intended to afflict Afrikan souls.
Certainly, there are lessons that the Afrikan can learn from this even at the level of day-to-day living. Here, Afrikan souls can be of genuine economic support to themselves in service of their continual ascension of rightful order. At the same time, Afrikan souls surely must avoid becoming consumed with ills of petty jealousies and the like to act as Afrikan economy destroying tools by proxy. Doing something of guilded ‘positivity’ whilst in substance intentionally using deceitful and deceptive tactics laced with falsehoods and harmful gossip-mongering to lure souls away from genuinely supporting Afrikan economic growth for targeted souls of rightful Afrikan ascension is despicable at best.
Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service by recovering self-knowledge and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) out of which genuine support for themselves can thrive perennially. 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.
