Upright Empowerment of an Economy of Self: What of Just Economy?

Celebrating Economy of Self

From the earliest of times, Afrikan souls have lived just lives. This is not of happenstance, as being just vitally featured within their spiritual-cultural core fabric of living. From this core, rightful and just order naturally prevailed throughout the various spheres of Afrikan life’s functioning. One such area of functioning is that of Afrikan economy. In this, one may qualify Afrikan economy is a just economy.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:

“A "just economy" is an economic system that prioritises fairness, equity, and the well-being of all individuals and communities, rather than solely focusing on economic growth and profit. It's an economy that distributes resources and opportunities equitably, ensuring that everyone has the chance to thrive and reach their full potential”.

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 a result that looks something like the following:

“A just Afrikan economy is a self-determined economic system rooted in the authentic Afrikan cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) where the well being, thriving and security of Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere is prioritised. It is an economy where Afrikan economic empowerment is shared and facilitated through the rightful self-governance of Afrikan natural resources to ensure that all Afrikan souls have the chance to thrive and reach their full potential regardless of geographical locale”.

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves not only destroy just Afrikan economy but to impose ‘economic’ disorder that is unjust or worse. In this, others of ill may rack up so much wrongdoing and cause so much destruction that in order to even appear to walk they are self-compelled to walk in denial of their own dire deeds.  Indeed, rather than take accountability of the havoc, chaos and destruction they have missioned to impose upon Afrikan life, they may seek to project that it is Afrikan people who are the problem and attempt to justify intensified attempts to subjugate or eliminate – even more wrongdoing!

 Certainly, there are lessons that Afrikan people can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. Surely Afrikan souls ought not become the perpetrators of wilfully destructive wrongdoings against souls of rightful Afrikan ascension by proxy. Piling up heaps of wilfully destructive wrongdoing and walking in denial of intentional ill-acts is dire disorder. Indeed, perpetrating souls attempting to get rid of their set upon targets by projection in order to avoid accountability of intentional ill-deeds is despicable at best. Deceptive, deceitful behaviours that may stem from this, laced with harmful gossip-mongering and the deliberate spreading of falsehoods set to bring down upright souls missioning for a just Afrikan economy, is surely a welcome invitation to doom who’s reach includes the ill-perpetrating self.

Instead, Afrikan souls can surely exercise duty and responsibility to themselves to recover self-knowledge and their authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) and determine their just Afrikan economy to thrive. 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.
