What of Explicit Learning?

Do Afrikan souls learn of themselves with intent? Indeed, ought the Afrikan learn of themselves with intent? An obvious approach to formulate an answer is to look at the life and experience of Afrikan souls in their natural state of optimal flourishing prior to any interrupted-ness. Even a cursory glance at this will yield the ageless foundational dictum of: Know Thyself. If then, with a level of self-knowingness this primary and spirit people of creation were able to establish the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist – there was surely intent of knowingness and a need for that intent of pinnacle importance. As such, a level of explicit learning featured throughout the Afrikan continuum in respect of this people vitally knowing of themselves.

In the contemporary era, the term explicit learning has been given the following description by a mainstream source:

“Explicit learning is equivalent with intentional learning of information. For example, memorizing a list of word pairs would be an example of explicit learning”.

So, what of Afrikans explicitly learning of themselves in a state of interruption and disruption? Such core learning may be at a deficit to state the least. Faced with a barrage of miseducating vices souls may be explicitly shoehorned into an existence of unknowingness of self. Indeed, souls may be explicitly discouraged and even punished or penalised for attempting to exercise any level learning in development of vital self-knowingness. As explicit forms of miseducation can be given validity by those that mean the Afrikan ill; the attempts to render null rightful learning of Afrikan self can be given far-reaching latitude and high impetus. The results can be dire with a vast chasm between installed between the ageless applied wisdom of Know Thyself and the realities of an imposed less-than optimal state of existence.  

Yet, it is Afrikan souls who have a duty and responsibility to engage in appropriate and upright levels of explicit learning about themselves and their experiences amongst each other to effect the restoration of their highly civilised norm and continual ascension. In this, formal learning programs that assist in the recovery of self-knowingness are key. From whatever station, level or status Afrikan souls can ultilise or establish learning for themselves in this regard wherever and however possible. Of course, as with other areas of life functioning Afrikan souls do themselves a great service in safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and like.

The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey in his illustrious words of wisdom articulates the role others can play and duty and responsibility Afrikan souls have to themselves thus:

“As other people were willing to sacrifice their time and even their lives to characterise our race, so we must exercise patience and time to civilise our people”.

Learning of self for this soul people of creation surely holds the natural intent of pinnacle civilisation and engagement in such learning can bring its applied result. Civilisation is not of happenstance.

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).
