What of a Learning Dichotomy?

When Afrikan souls necessarily engaged in their learning processes within the realm of their natural, progressive and upright self-determined norm they served an overall outcome. Whatever the life subject of focus or skill cultivated through learning civilisation of the highest order was to flourish. Therefore, if the Afrikan studied themselves, their philosophies, their sciences, their mathematics and so on, the construction of their pinnacle civilisations of unparalleled longevity vitally had an informed basis. This pioneering people of excellence built with a cohesive wholesomeness between the various avenues of learning for their ascension. Surely, it would not have been possible to achieve the grand civilisations they did steeped in any mainstay disorder and confusion of fundamentally contradictory studies of themselves and programs designed to be abrasive or oppositional to each other.

Contemporaneously, the word dichotomy has been used in association with learning to describe contradiction in the education process. According to a mainstream source dichotomy relates to:

“a division into two especially mutually exclusive or contradictory groups or entities. the dichotomy between theory and practice. also : the process or practice of making such a division”.

In a state of interruption and disruption, Afrikan souls can find themselves being exposed to much miseducation that is in contradiction to wholesome knowingness of themselves and their natural norm of highly civilised construction and living. Others that mean the Afrikan ill may well seek to manufacture dichotomies to serve the dire interests of divide and rule as souls are split into different ‘schools of thought’ engineered to be set against each other. Further, should the Afrikan show signs of upright progress for self, then those same others of ill may deploy a strategy of dichotomy creation as a mechanism to thwart soul people’s betterment. Through manufacture of even slight variants to a particular thrust of rightful Afrikan progress alternative and oppositional avenues of learning and learning application can be established. Of course, if the others that mean the Afrikan ill are well resourced and were to direct considerable resource to bolster their concocted oppositional thrust in pushing unknowingness of self amongst the primary people of creation – then it may appear to be of plausible validity to the unsuspecting soul (even attractively inviting).  

Afrikan souls must surely determine and engage in the learning for the recovery of self-knowingness to empower their ascension and fullest flourishing. This is learning to inform and in harmonisation with the Afrikan civilised norm throughout its various and necessary avenues of discourse.  Naturally, this is not at harmony with the destructive intent of others that mean the Afrikan ill and their dichotomy inducing folly. Here, the Afrikan does well to safeguard the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like. From whatever level, station or status each soul can make a progressive step to restore knowingness of self and build accordingly.

The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey with his great inspirational foresight asked of the Afrikan:

“When will the Black man create his world? When will he blast the hills and conquer the plains? When will he harness the rivers and bring under subjugation the seas? When will he negotiate the air and find out the mysteries therein? When will he delve independently into the realms of science and philosophy and pick out an independent invention that transcends that yet known to the world? Not until these things are done with the mastery of the human mind, and by the [Afrikan], will he be transferred from the foot of the human race to the top where once he was when he gave light and leading to the world on the banks of the Nile. The greater accomplishments of humanity are well possible to the [Afrikan] today, because they were in ages past”.

This exceptional visionary eloquently highlights the crucial value to knowingness Afrikans ought to hold of themselves. Not succumbing to false dichotomies that fuel destructive divide and rule ploys, but embracing of the Afrikan experience for imperative traction to build civilisation of rightful order.

The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
