What of Financial Engineering?

Science, technology, engineering and maths emerged onto the plateau of humanity through the pioneering efforts of the primary people of creation. With their abundance of natural genius flow this spirit people of creation cultivated their exceptional know-how in the spheres of astronomy, agriculture, navigation, architecture, mining, trade and so on. All the necessary techniques and skills were cultivated, developed and expressed in service of this soul people natural norm of pinnacle civilisation.  Even in the state of interruption and disruption of the contemporary period observers have recognised the powerful and unique impact of Afrikan souls. Writing in the 18th century, a European scholar of high standing status in France succinctly summarised existing circumstance thus:

“Just think that this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences and even the use of speech”.

Of course, much of the genius flow and skills were a great boon to the vital arena of Afrikan self-economy with its functional areas of operation. Yet, rooted in their highly cultivated life of rightful order their self-economy function serviced the greatest and most enduring civilisations to ever exist. Therefore, the application of whatever knowingness (however scant) gleaned by others from the Afrikan and utilised to enslave, colonise or worse is of their foreign concoction.

Today, amongst the various operations of finance is the realm described as financial engineering:  

“Financial engineering is the use of mathematical techniques to solve financial problems. Financial engineers test and issue new investment tools and methods of analysis. They work with insurance companies, asset management firms, hedge funds, and banks”.

What does this mean for Afrikan souls in a state of interruption and disruption? Is the Afrikan the financial engineer solving the problems in order to construct, develop and maintain self-economy? Or, is the Afrikan subject to the financial engineering of others who may well see the thriving of Afrikan life and self-economy as the problem to solve? If financial operations and the mathematical underpinnings that affect Afrikan life are not in any way developed or governed by Afrikan souls steeped in knowingness of themselves then the outcomes could be dire. In such a state, Afrikan souls could then be subject to the mis-engineering and disorder that denies their natural norm of highly civilised living and ascension.  

So, surely this soul people being the pioneers of engineering and exceptional builders of civilisation have a duty to themselves to restore their self-knowingness, cultured living and effect their rise accordingly.  Self-determined engineering of rightful order (in whatever sphere deemed necessary) for this primary people surely benefits the imperative of self-determined ascension. From whatever station, level or status each soul can make an upright contributory step of progress – however large or small - for the betterment of this spirit people of creation. At the same time, measures to safeguard the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like are also key. The capacity to engineer and deliver their norm of highly civilised living is firmly in the more than capable hands of this primary people of creation.

Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
