What of Financial Security?

Celebrating the Empowerment of Self-Economy

In the modern era talk of ‘financial security’ is popularised in many spheres. Yet, finance and its security are defined and realised from the economy out from which it is expressed. Indeed, economic functioning is derived from some semblance of a ‘cultural’ base. Of course, for the primary and spirit people of creation their norm is pinnacle culture and civilisation of upright order in which their economy of self is naturally embedded is replete throughout the Afrikan continuum. Thus, for this soul people their financial security naturally lies in functional sphere of grand civilisation.

According to a popular mainstream source:

“Financial security is the state of mind that emanates from the state of your finances”.

What does the natural mindset and state of finances look like for Afrikan souls? This may be difficult to discern in contemporary times if the Afrikan is void of the civilised living and self-economy functioning that their normality reveals. On the other hand, if Afrikan souls have their state of mind in relation to finances exclusively determined by others that mean them ill - and consider this the norm - the results could be devastating. Here, the Afrikan may then only operate in financial terms that are skewed to best serve others and that are neglectful of self.

Certainly, Afrikan souls ought to strive for the best possible outcomes to attain and maintain financial security for themselves. Surely, within this context a level of their self-economy functional norm is required. Otherwise, ‘financial security’ could solely rest upon the service provision, consumerism and the like outside of the self with all the abject neglect, abandonment and haemorrhaging of resources such a state can attract. This is certainly not a call to disregard any necessary financial engagements that present conditions and circumstance may dictate. Rather, this is cautionary note of the ill-effects of perpetuating an existence void of any self-construction and self-reconstruction.  

The Afrikan mind has been a powerful source of brilliancy throughout the ages where its determination of superlative civilisation has been magnificently realised. And despite the interruptions and disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore the self-knowingness of their self-economy and its finance operations for their ascension. Here, finances may have very different conceptions to the peddled notions of ‘being in the black’ or ‘being in the red’ (terms popularised as a result of chattel enslavement).

Through self-determined effort of upright order, this soul people can recultivate themselves and their mindset in service of their imperative betterment. A mind state that sees life activities, whether financial or otherwise benefitting Afrikan ascension can surely be a great boon to self-security.

Of course, security must surely also include safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoing and the like. Each soul can make an upright contributory step of progress from whatever station, level or status to effect recovery, safeguarding and ascension (however large or small a positive step may be). The Afrikan must surely reclaim and emanate the ageless brilliancy of their mind and bring about their natural norm of pinnacle and enduring civilisation secured into eternity.

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.
