What do we Actually Know of the Spirit of Liberty and Nationhood?

The thrust for Afrikan liberty and nationhood, energised by spirit. It is the spirit-force of the Afrikan that empowers the Afrikan to attain and maintain that which is rightful preserve. Though others of ill   may disregard or deny spirit flow in the attempt to reduce human functioning to the dire limitations of their regressive capacity of absolute domination, control, misappropriation and so on,  for the Afrikan spirit is an abundant power-resource of the self. As such, it is necessary for Afrikans to hold living knowingness of their unique spirit substance. Living knowingness in no way means detached intellectual processing, nor fictional fantasy to escape the realities of life. Rather, it is the stuff to empower life’s fullest engagement. Thus, living knowingness of the spirit necessarily carries a natural demand for Afrikan self-determined structure, process and direction in order to produce results for Afrikan ascension. It is victorious outcome that provides the spirit and the processing of spirit meaning. Hence, the following formulation in relation to liberty and nationhood:

Afrikan Liberator Spirit + Afrikan Liberation Spirituality = Optimal self-determined engagement for the building and maintenance of Afrika Liberty and Nationhood.  

In other words, there must be some conception that there is a result to be realised in order for the other elements to be effectively channelled for the benefit of Afrikan life. The Supreme visionary Marcus Garvey worked on an unparalleled global scale to realise the imperative of organised missioning for optimal self-determined engagement for the building and maintenance of Afrikan Liberty and Nationhood as victorious outcome. The following selection of utterances (detailed here in no particular order) provide a glimpse of his impact through the words of other more contemporary world-renowned heroes:

“It has warned us that so many of our brothers [and sisters] from across the seas are with us. We take their presence here as a manifestation of the keen interest in our [fight] for a free Afrika. We must never forget that they are a part of us.

These sons and daughters of Afrika were taken away from our shores, and despite all the centuries which have separated us, they have not forgotten their ancestral links.

Many of them made no small contribution to the cause of Afrikan freedom. A name that springs immediately to mind in this connection is Marcus Garvey. Long before many of us were even conscious of our own degradation, Marcus Garvey fought for Afrikan national and racial equalty”. – Kwame Nkrumah.

“All of the freedom movements that are taking place right here in America today were initiated by the work and teachings of Marcus Garvey. The entire Black Muslim philosophy here in America is feeding upon the seeds that were planted by Marcus Garvey”. – Omowale Malcolm X.

“Marcus Garvey was the first man of colour in the history of the United States to lead and develop a mass movement. He was the first man, on a mass scale, and level, to give millions of [Afrikans] a sense of dignity and destiny, and make the [Afrikan] feel that he was somebody.

You gave Marcus Garvey to the United States of America, and he gave to the millions of [Afrikans] in the United States a sense of personhood, a sense of manhood, and a sense of somebodiness” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Marcus Garvey detailed seven important stages for betterment of Afrikan souls throughout the world and these have been creatively restored by this author in respect of spiritual-cultural living as follows:

Hatua Saba (Seven Stages)

Kuamka (Awaken)

The observances of Omowale Malcolm X Siku (celebration of this great liberator who is known as an Ogun) and Afrika Ukombozi Siku are part of the spiritual and cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). Throughout the year (observance to observance) harmonious complementarity is manifest in the holistic fabric of the whole annual cycle. These two observances relate to each other in a number of special ways. One such way is the emphasis of, and imperative connection of the Afrikan Liberator with the process of Afrikan Liberation.  Afrikan souls, being a part of an organ for mission ascendancy is key for both liberator and liberation. The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is a spiritually and culturally rooted organ for Afrikan ascension.

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
