Celebrating the Great Afrikan History Continuum

The primary people of creation have
undoubtedly applied themselves to optimal heights of life’s engagement to produce
the world’s greatest and most enduring civilisations. Certainly, the natural brilliancy
of such effort is of essential empowering worth from inception, during continued
development and in necessary security from generation-to-generation. As each generation
applies itself to optimal function of upright order for ascension, it lays another
building block in resource-base from which generations to come can benefit and
in turn can continue to effectively build. This speaks both to pragmatic
self-determined experience and also the recall of such experience for pragmatic
application. Hence, the Afrikan history continuum is an everlasting conduit of
self-empowerment.
In the contemporary era, the term applied history has been used to highlight such continuum attributes. A mainstream source describes the term in the following way:
“Applied history is the effort to apply insights grounded in the study of the past to the challenges of the present, particularly in the area of policy-making”.
Surely, for the naturally pragmatic primary people of creation and builders of pinnacle civilisation, there is no history of meaningful substance without its application. For this soul people history is naturally made, recalled to further construction and continually made. Yet, in a time of interruption and disruption knowingness of their own self-determined experiences of brilliancy can be thwarted or worse. Meanwhile, others that mean the Afrikan ill can push and peddle forms of pseudo-history to encourage stagnation or destruction amongst this soul people. Amidst the turmoil others can position themselves as ‘informed’ policy makers as the Afrikan is urged to wander in the wilderness of unknowingness of self void of grounded self-study, its application and without upright policy-of-self to make.
It is only Afrikan souls that can restore the natural, empowering and vital connection to their history continuum and in knowingness necessarily apply themselves to ascension of rightful order. In so doing their history can regain its proper place in their lives as it is applied. Each soul from whatever station, role or status can make a step of progress in the reclamation of their people’s applied history. Here, a level of study is key. At the same time, souls can do the self a great service by safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.
The highly civilised norm of this primary people is natural continuance and through their history the norms of optimal self-determined living can be realised by recall and practical engagement. As their powerful history continuum reveals, grand civilisation was not a fictional fantasy it was a reality brought into being through self-determined construction.
Afrikan Historia Msimu is an observance period for the duration of the tenth month of the year (so-called October). This is a special time for learning, growth and development of the Afrikan experience in the world. It is a time of spiritual and cultural elevation as Afrikan history is restored to fabric of life in the living knowingness of the then, the now and tomorrow. Great ones of the Afrikan journey are highlighted and the symbols relevant to the time invigorate life in the imperative onward flow of global Afrikan ascendancy. This wonderful observance is a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
