Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

Throughout the natural norm of the Afrikan continuum, the flourishing of grand civilisation with its necessary thriving of self-economy were consistent phenomena. Of course, there were always internal challenges to be met and obstacles to overcome within in the immediate environment. Here, absolute perfectibility is the preserve of the Creator Supreme who represented the ultimate standards to strive for in this soul people’s norm of highly cultured living. Rightfully, this primary and spirit people of creation took care of themselves and their own affairs to the extent of brilliancy that realised the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. One of the significant factors in any disruption to the norm of thriving is that of the invasion by others who seek to enslave, colonise or otherwise rip resources from Afrikan souls. Here, the Afrikan has to then face the imperative challenge to restore civilised living and their vital self-economy function from devastation to reestablishment and to secure onward upturn.  

According to a mainstream source the phrase economic upturn is described as follows:

“If there is an upturn in the economy or in a company or industry, it improves or becomes more successful”.

Of all the foreign invasions, nothing could prepare Afrikan souls for the intensity and protracted devastation of the Maafa of recent centuries. Multitudes of Afrikan souls were murdered, brutalised at the whim of the invading hoards. The survivors left on home soil grappled to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives existing in constant fear of being captured or kidnapped; adopting a survival culture; and then only to face being colonised. Meanwhile, multitudes of their kith and kin were shipped across the waters stripped of their names, language and culture and forced to toil on the plantations of the Americas, in the islands and so on.

Of course, foreign forces from farther east were already raiding the Afrikan populous for the purposes of enslavement prior to institutionalised raiding exploits of the west. Here, the blueprint was expanded and protracted to levels that had never plagued the world before.

The point here is that the economic upturn during this period is a descriptor that can generally only apply to the ‘economies’ of others as the norm of Afrikan self-economy thriving faced devastation. Yet, as their self-economy function is naturally embedded within their cultural fabric, surely Afrikan souls have a duty to themselves to restore their cultured living.  In this, a level of self-knowingness is vital. Afrikan souls ought to know who and what they are, the greatness of their achievements and the lessons that come from their experiences.

Skewing historical and contemporary experience to suit the wranglings of mainstream political parties (left, right or centre) is surely not productive to the necessary recovery of self-economy and civilised flourishing. This primary people of creation need not be captured, kidnapped, trapped, tortured nor incarcerated by the propaganda of a political plantation or colony of whichever orientation.

The recovery and upturn of the Afrikan self-economy must surely be realised. This can only be so, through the efforts of Afrikan souls themselves. Thus, from whatever station, level or status each soul can make a contributory step of upright progress for ascension – however large or small. At the same time, Afrikan souls surely ought to safeguard themselves from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like. Civilisation must be.
