What of Financial Acumen?

Obviously, throughout the ages of their norm self-determined flourishing, Afrikan souls expressed their informed ability to make progressive decisions in respect of the building, growth and development of pinnacle civilisation. With the inherited know-how cultivated from before each generation could expand upon their repositories of wisdom and apply themselves accordingly. Thus, acumen in the throughout the various spheres of life could naturally grow and be expressed to service the growth and expression of grand civilisation. One of such area of life worthy of a level of focus for optimal thriving was that of self-economy with its supporting facet of financial acumen.

According to a mainstream source the term financial acumen is described as one who:      

“Maintains and applies a broad understanding of financial management principles to ensure decisions are fiscally sound and responsible”.

Of course, in the context of interruption and disruption of the Maafa of recent centuries with destructive imposition. A number of questions could be asked in caution of such imposition. For example, what are the financial management principles popularly peddled amongst Afrikan souls? Or, which decisions are popularised and deemed fiscally sound amongst Afrikan souls? Certainly, much of what is pushed and peddled towards this soul people in disruption would be deemed anti-self-economy-thriving by their own standards that emanate from their highly civilised norm.  Subject to the ‘economies’ of others, structures and operations of ‘financial functioning’ inherently serves the interests of those ‘economies’. Indeed, Afrikan souls themselves may be bogusly deemed as inhuman objects of such functioning.

Such questioning is not intended to be impetus to disregard any useful know-how that could be applied in the now from whatever source it may be gleaned. However, it is intended to go some way in highlighting the importance of restoring self-economy with its own associated financial know-how of ascension. This is something only Afrikan souls can do for themselves.  Hence, self-knowingness is key. Indeed, self-economy and its supporting facet of financial acumen are naturally rooted in cultural fabric. Thus, know-how is cultivated and expressed to serve Afrikan civilised life.

So then, in thrust of upright restoration and recovery the Afrikan could ask of self: what are the financial management principles that best serve self-economy and civilised living? Or, what are the decisions that are fiscally sound and responsible for a thriving self-economy and flourishing soul people? As the Afrikan was actively informed in the then, so too the Afrikan can be actively informed in the now for optimal ascension and apply themselves in rightful order accordingly. At the same time, this primary and spirit people of creation ought surely take measures to safeguard themselves from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.

Financial acumen like other areas of know-how has source and context of operation. Surely Afrikan souls best serve themselves by being and determining source and context. From whatever station, level or status this soul people can make a contributory step of upright order – however large or small – in the thrust of their own ascension. Their highly civilised norm is not a phenomenon of happenstance but the stuff of self-determined upright progression.
