Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

For the primary and spirit people of creation, the fulfilment of their maximal capability is evidenced in their establishment and living of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to have existed. For this soul people pinnacle civilisation is a natural norm within which the various functional areas of life are serviced, thrive and in turn service the greater good of their highly civilised whole. One functional area is that of a thriving self-economy with the use of its various commodities. Here, an important phenomenon such as monetary capability is empowered through efforts of the self in service of the immediate sphere and the greater whole, whilst at the same time the greater whole stands as a grand vehicle of empowerment to the local self as well as its own macrocosmic prowess. Capability then, for this spirit people is thus interconnected throughout the various levels of the self from person to nation and beyond.

In the contemporary time the term financial capability has been used to describe monetary capability. According to a mainstream source the term is described thus:

“Financial capability gives people the power and the confidence to make the most of their money and improve their lives. Financial capability is the ability to manage money well – both day-to-day and through significant life events like having a baby, getting divorced or moving home”.

What then does financial capability look like for Afrikan souls subject to the ‘economies’ of others in a state of interruption and disruption? Surely, others that wield their ‘economic’ functions do so with the intent to best service their interests. If this is true then the vices utilised to enliven power and confidence would have a purpose of empowering those ‘economies’. In this, ‘making the most of money’ could be the exclusive investment in or being total consumer of products, goods and services that empower such other ‘economies’.

Whilst the Afrikan may - out of sheer survival necessity - be compelled to engage in the ‘economic’ functioning of others as conditions dictate, surely this soul people ought not neglect their natural norm of self-economy and the financial capability it vitally affords to them.  The natural course of life improvement for this soul people involves the operations that yields their norm of highly civilised living (whether financial or otherwise). Of course, self-economy is embedded within their cultural fabric of life. Thus, money management surely has its immediate as well as wider objectives for success.

The cultured rootedness of practical Afrikan life engagement ought not be underestimated nor abandoned. For example, wholesome marriage for family growth and development are progressive rites of passage for which monetary considerations are of key importance. Breaking a union, by getting divorce is only a necessary exception (where genuine) rather than the rule or expected outcome in which sometimes vast resources can be haemorrhaged or inevitable crisis funds have to be apportioned.

Afrikan souls have the ageless capability to realise their optimal flourishing through the recovery and restoration of a level of self-knowingness and cultured living with its self-economy function. Only Afrikan souls can realise this for themselves with upright self-determined effort. At the same time, safeguarding the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like is also key. Ascension into the natural norm of grand civilisation is surely to be secured by this primary and pioneering people of high culture.
