What if Empty Façade Took Were to Totally Take the Place of Rooted Substance to Empower Self-Economy?

Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

Pinnacle civilisation by definition is not a phenomenon of mere aesthetic perception. As stunning as the outward of expressions of grand civilisation are, it is the rooted substance of lived ascension and rightful order that allow it to flourish and endure. Superlative civilisation is the natural norm of Afrikan life and within this context each soul’s lived rootedness of rightful order and ascension is amplified throughout the various levels of self for great construction to take place. A vital part of the building process and continual splendour of highly civilised living is thriving self-economy. Naturally, embedded within the culture of this primary people of creation, the essential inner workings of self-economy are rooted in lived values and relations that may not be obvious at any aesthetic level. Indeed, the outward beauty aesthetic is the tertiary result of functional rooted substance.

Of course, in the contemporary period the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa have wreaked havoc in the natural normality of highly civilised Afrikan life and its thriving self-economy. Amongst the barrage of disorderly ills that have been pushed and peddled to derail upright constructive norms of this soul people are the attempts to castrate them to the peripheral realms of synthetic and disempowering aesthetics void of their naturally rooted substance. Trinkets of ‘bling’ and a host of ill-vices to uproot the Afrikan away from their highly civilised norm not only can derail substance of ascension but also produce a grotesque outward aesthetic.  Coupled with pseudo-values of abject consumerism to exclusively haemorrhage resources to benefit the ‘economies’ of others, the imposed mix of ills can represent a dire recipe to fuel descent towards doom.  

What then, if empty façade were to totally take the place of rooted substance to empower self-economy? Simply put, the essential of civilised living for this soul people of creation would be at a huge deficit or worse. Surely, Afrikan souls cannot allow themselves to completely fall prey to the trappings of ill that would have them locked into the realms of an empty façade of disempowerment.  Here, restoration of a level of self-knowingness is key. For, it is from some semblance of self-knowingness that the norm of rightful ascension can resume with the vital thrust for thriving self-economy. From whatever station, level or status the Afrikan may hold contributory steps of progress can be made towards the safeguarding of themselves and their complete recovery in the best ways possible. Vital security against contaminants of ill and self-destructive wrongdoings is surely indispensable.

This primary and spirit people with all of the natural aesthetic beautifulness of high living that they produce as a norm are not an empty people. This is a people of profound substance, depth, meaningfulness and wisdom. This is a people who’s norm of superlative excellence naturally permeates their lives hence pinnacle civilisation is their mainstay norm. This is a people of exceptional construction as their continuum overwhelmingly attests. This is a people who need not succumb to empty façades of derailment but energise themselves for the self-determined upright effort necessary to bring to the fore their fullest potential and fullest capability in the victorious and enduring brilliancy.  

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.
