What of Financial Transactions?

Trade is an important part of life for the pioneering souls of culture and civilisation. It has been so since the earliest of times. Goods and services have been exchanged throughout the ages by this primary people of creation as necessary functioning of their self-economy. From highly sought after raw materials to excellently crafted ornaments – from the highest forms of learning to technological application – this soul people throughout the ages have been a richly endowed source of provision in unique ways. Thus, the financial transaction has been mainstay feature of their norm of highly cultured living which both it and the self-economy it is an expression of naturally serves.

According to a mainstream source a financial transaction is described thus:

 “A financial transaction is an agreement, or communication, between a buyer and seller to exchange goods, services, or assets for payment.”.

Unfortunately, in the interruption and disruption of the Maafa of recent centuries the highly cultured norm of Afrikan life with its thriving self-economy and facets of operation have been set upon in a host of destructive ways. Here, others that mean the Afrikan ill have sought to render Afrikan souls themselves as the goods or assets to be bought and sold at will. This of course is dire disorder to state the least.

But what if Afrikan souls were to become susceptible to perpetuating the legacy of such disruption by proxy? What if Afrikan souls themselves began to see the self exclusively as goods or assets available only for purchase or sale and treated each other as such? How others viewed Afrikan souls and relations amongst Afrikan souls would surely suffer in negativity if answers here were to be of the affirmative.

Such conditions could be an invitation to dire mistreatment as expendable objects or worse. Relations between Afrikan souls could become based only upon aesthetic and temporary functioning. Abnormally, Afrikan souls may begin to see themselves as having the same ‘worth’ and meaning as this trinket or that produced by the ‘economies’ of others. Perhaps even of less ‘worth’. Or, perhaps relations would become totally and exclusively consumed by the show of ability to acquire such trinkets and such trinkets alone.   Meanwhile, the rooted substance of this primary people’s highly cultured living is abandoned together with their vital self-economy functioning and the wholesome relations of rightful order that it necessarily holds.  

This is no way meant to discourage souls from engaging in any necessary and meaningful financial transactions. On the contrary, financial transactions have an important role to play in ascension. At the same time, it is also important to rightfully locate such transaction in civilised context. Certainly, the Afrikan is not a commodity or chattel. 

Whatever the condition, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can realise their recovery, restoration and fullest flourishing of uprightness. Self-economy is naturally embedded within cultured living. Thus, a holistic developmental approach is surely key. From whatever station, level or status Afrikan souls can make a contributory step of upright progress – however large or small. At the same time, making efforts to safeguard the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoing and the like will also be a boon to secure ascension.

This primary and spirit people of creation surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to realise their unparalleled civilised optimality.

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.
