What of Financial Management?

The primary and spirit people of creation have necessarily engaged in the planning and directing of  the various avenues of life’s functioning to realise their natural norm of pinnacle civilisation. Vitally, a part of the planning encompassed the arena of their self-economy and the use of its commodities. One such commodity is that of money in whatever form that it is determined by this soul people to be. In contemporary times the term financial management has been popularised to describe activity in this regard. According to a mainstream source financial management is described thus:

“Financial management is the planning, directing, monitoring, organising and controlling of money to accomplish business objectives and return maximum value to stakeholders”.

With the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries multitudes of Afrikan souls have been rendered the subjects of the ‘economies’ of others and derailed from their natural norm of having a thriving self-economy with functional facets. In this context, what does financial management look like for this people of soul? Certainly, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to grotesquely skew upright order by bogusly attempting to shoehorn spirit people into a state of disuse as sheer commodities or worse.

Still, only Afrikan souls can recover and restore themselves to their rightful place of pinnacle functioning and civilisation. As such, bogus notions of the Afrikan being objects, commodities or other inhuman determinants of ill ought to be purged and safeguarded against. These ills could mis-render the Afrikan as being the less-than natural self and on the lowly par as ‘equal’ to the tool of money. By disorderly extension, susceptible souls may even adopt a false outlook that it is ‘normal’ to be controlled and managed by money rather than rightfully manage and control this financial tool and commodity in service of self-economy. It is at levels such as this that the vices of ill from ill-intentioned others may rear their ugly head in the attempt to keep the Afrikan in a regressive posture as their tertiary and expendable ‘objects’ void of any self-knowingness and self-economy thriving.

Even within conditions of interruption, Afrikan souls can take steps to empower themselves with some level of financial management. So, this is in no way a call to disregard any financial engagements deemed necessary. At the same time, financial managing can hold some level of consideration for the empowerment of vital self-economy. Certainly, steps in the direction of the Afrikan civilised norm would energise this to be, for self-economy is naturally embedded within life’s cultural fabric. Each soul from whatever station, level or status can make a contributory step of progress – however large or small for a thriving self-economy to be realised and the civilised living it serves. At the same time, souls can make best efforts possible to safeguard themselves from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoing and the like. Tools are there to be managed, used and directed for upright purpose and ought never be considered the manager. The Afrikan is not a tool nor a commodity.

Though the challenges are many, it is this naturally powerful soul people of creation who have a continuum brimming with outstanding and highly civilised brilliancy. With such a grand repository of inheritance vital self-determined effort can be energised to bring about their maximal potential and capabilities for their imperative ascension in the now and throughout time to come.
