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

Knowledge is key throughout Afrikan life, inclusive of the sphere of Afrikan people’s self-determined economic functioning of rightful order. The extent to which knowledge plays its role can be such significance that it becomes an explicit descriptor tied to the identifier of economy. Thus, the term Afrikan knowledge economy can be brought to the fore.

A mainstream source offers the following commentary:

“Knowledge Economy is defined as a global economic system characterised by increasing knowledge intensity in the creation, production, and distribution of goods and services, driven by innovation, information exchange, and rapid learning processes”.

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

“An Afrikan knowledge economy is defined as a self-determined economic system characterised by increasing knowledge intensity in the creation, production and distribution of goods and services in thrust of Afrikan people’s fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. Driven by innovation, information exchange and forms of learning Afrikan souls deem fit for optimal results to service their continual ascension, Afrikan knowledge economy is fundamentally based on Afrikan people’s knowledge of themselves and their natural shared core oneness of being regardless of geographical locale”.

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to set about destroying Afrikan knowledge systems. Even whilst laden with contempt and armed with strategic impositions devised to commit harm, those of ill may twistedly mask the value of Afrikan systems and attempt to extract the benefits for themselves. Further, attempts to skew Afrikan knowingness may ensue with the pushing and peddling of anti-Afrikan propaganda. Indeed, it may be intended for anti-Afrikan propaganda to bogusly become considered as ‘Afrikan knowledge’ and erroneously accepted as some sort of ‘norm’.

Certainly, there are lessons Afrikan people can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day living. To cultivate and utilise knowledge for continual Afrikan ascension of rightful order – in the sphere of economics and otherwise – both formally and informally can be a great boon to Afrikan life. By contrast, Afrikan souls surely ought to avoid becoming the destroyers of their genuine knowledge systems by proxy. Indeed, it is of acute disorder for souls to become totally consumed with dire ills to act in deceptive and deceitful ways wilfully intended to bring harm to those rightfully engaged in process for Afrikan betterment. Gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods set to cause damage in the lives of souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension is a form of anti-Afrikan propaganda. If there is intent to render fallacy as a ‘norm’ then perpetrators surely play a role of attempting to execute Afrikan knowledge.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to recover their self-knowingness and their rightfully functioning knowledge systems as naturally rooted in 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.
