What if Souls Related to Themselves Only as Vehicles of Money?

Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

Money can be an interesting commodity whether it is of
shells, nuggets, paper or digitised as some of the contemporary spheres
dictate. Each form of currency has its role within the context of the economy
from which it emerges and for whom its use principally serves. Certainly, it’s acquisition, management and use
can be of great necessity and impact in the lives of the primary and spirit
people of creation. Of course, rooted to their highly cultured norm of self-economy
functioning with its inherent upright values, money can be an empowering tool in
its use throughout the various levels of the self.
Unfortunately, with the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries the highly cultured self-economy norm with its values have been set upon in a host of destructive ways. Skewed away from the norm of their upright use of the commodity of money, others of ill-intent sought to render Afrikan souls themselves a commodity.
Subject to functioning outside their self-economy norm, money can remain a necessity. However, void of value-rootedness and thrust for ascension of rightful order, the meaning of money to the susceptible soul can take on grotesquely skewed meaning. Here, exclusive all-consuming aesthetic and tertiary money-centred economy-less existence may take hold. In this, the expressions of an economy can become more important than the economy itself. Or rather, the expressions of the ‘economies’ of others become more important that this soul people’s self-economy.
One of the dangers of ill-placed money pedestalisation is that personhood can be relegated to a less-than state in how susceptible souls relate each to the next. Whilst this may not be always overtly apparent, the ill-consumed soul can translate the other soul in every social relation as a tertiary resource commodity and tertiary resource commodity only. In this, the legacy of the plantation or colony lingers by proxy. Meanwhile, the self-economy and imperative building and ascension remain at a deficit. Indeed, a thriving self-economy norm holds definition of upright conception and function of its money.
Money acquisition and use can be a wholesome part of the necessary life building process. And surely, the Afrikan must empower the self with some form of activity in this vital area of functioning however large or small and from whatever station, level or status held. Each upright contributory step to a thriving self-economy is also a step in the building of the civilisation that it serves. Yet, it is money that remains in its rightful place as a useful tool or commodity. The primary and spirit people of creation are not the commodity or chattel.
As Afrikan souls necessarily restore themselves in flourishing peoplehood of rightful order through self-knowingness security against contaminants of ill and self-destructive wrongdoing is key. The builders of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist can surely exercise their capacity for superlative brilliancy and realise self-economy and grand upright civilisation.
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.
