Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

Within the realms of the extensive Afrikan history continuum where
this soul people built and lived in their natural norm of self-determined flourishing
– it surely would have been nonsensical to consider their lives without the
thrust of economic power. Afrikan self-economy necessarily thrived in service
of the pinnacle civilisations that this primary people built and lived over
unmatched longevity.
What then is economic power? A contemporary mainstream source offers the following definition:
“Economic power refers to an individual, a firm, or a country having access to wealth, valuable natural resources, monopoly powers, or superior technology. Economic power also refers to a country's ability to improve the living standard of its citizens”.
So, what does this mean in relation to Afrikan life in the present? In a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls are subject to the ‘economies’ of others, powerfulness of self may be distant or nullified in the minds of souls shoehorned into the realms of sheer survival existence. Powerfulness and specifically economic powerfulness of this primary people that naturally featured throughout their continuum has been set upon in destructive ways. In an abnormal state of existence souls may erroneously only see powerfulness as the exclusive preserve of those ‘economies’ of others. If such a mindset were to become a prevailing and popularised mainstay, then rather than holding their natural and rightful order of self-powerfulness, Afrikans could become perpetually disempowered in terms of their economic functional norm and otherwise. Indeed, a state of abject powerlessness could become the plaguing disorder of the day.
Yet, despite the challenges afoot, it is only Afrikan souls that can restore their self-knowingness and their cultured living from which their self-economy comes in order for economic powerfulness to be returned in service of their highly civilised norm.
Illustratively, let us take the definition of economic power offered by the mainstream source and qualify each of the key components posited with the identifier of Afrikan:
“Afrikan economic power refers to an Afrikan individual, an Afrikan firm, or an Afrikan country having access to its wealth, valuable natural resources, monopoly powers, or superior Afrikan technology. Afrikan economic power also refers to an Afrikan country’s ability to improve the living standards of its citizens”.
With this, goals for recovery, of attainment and the imperative for the thrust of rightfully ordered ascension can surely be gleaned. From whatever station, level, or status Afrikan souls can make a contributory step for upright ascension – however large or small. At the same time, the Afrikan does the self a great service in securing against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.
Afrikan souls surely must again realise their natural powerfulness and become used to being their powerful norm wielding it in upright order for the purposes of ascension. Afrikan economic power requires a thriving self-economy. Grand civilisation requires servicing functions. Afrikan souls require the best of themselves.
