What of Historical Revisionism?

Celebrating the Great Afrikan Continuum

In the great unfolding of their continuum, Afrikan souls throughout the ages kept exceptionally informed and detailed records of their journeying. They scribed their self-determined experience of upright order on paper (papyri), eloquently carved it in stone, artistically shaped it wooden design, recorded it in exquisitely paintings, beautifully wove it in tapestry and garments. The list of ways in which this primary people of creation recorded their history is vast. In addition, their richly endowed wisdom tradition of which oral transmission of memory is a crucial part remained an ageless mainstay. Of course, with their the various establishments of formal learning and development servicing their norm of pinnacle civilisation, their historical continuum could be effectively recalled and added to with the making of history from generation to generation. Indeed, Afrikan souls as a natural norm remain inseparably interconnected with their history continuum. With their natural order of continuity in tact historical amnesia or the need to correct knowingness of past occurrence is surely at a minimal level. At the same time, challenging the self to greater achievement, greater security or advancing the tools utilised for upright ascension are qualities of making history in any present period whilst perhaps having greater or more intimately detailed beingness in their walk amongst that with that which was.

In the contemporary era the term historical revisionism has been used to describe changes in how something of the past is viewed or received. A mainstream source offers this:  

“In historiography, historical revisionism is the reinterpretation of a historical account. It usually involves challenging the orthodox (established, accepted or traditional) views held by professional scholars about a historical event or timespan or phenomenon, introducing contrary evidence, or reinterpreting the motivations and decisions of the people involved”.

Of course, for Afrikan souls in an interrupted state their natural norm of self-determined continuity can be at a dire deficit. Indeed, connection with their history continuum may have been severed to render historical amnesia. In such conditions, historical revisionism can be hurled at Afrikan souls by others that mean the Afrikan ill as a constant intentionally unsettling peaks and troughs of this and then that, something here and then over there, something ‘wrong’ and then ‘right’ and so on and on. Each instigated thrust can consist of wave after wave of concocted fallacies to give strength to ill-domination over the soul people of creation. Disconnected from their historical continuum souls can become vulnerable to being all-consumed by the ill-whims of others with destructive intent as history is revised at each turn to suit a psuedo-history in which the Afrikan is rendered less-than or nullified.  

Afrikan souls must surely restore a level of self-knowingness and reconnect to their history continuum to lift themselves from disruption. In so doing, they can determine for themselves what aspects of their recollections are to be revised as they increase their levels of knowing to empower their highly civilised norm and ascension of rightful order. Indeed, the greater aspect of what is to be revised may be the history making of the present and the not being consumed by the pseudo-history peddled by others of ill. Each soul can take steps in the recovery of the self and restore a level of self-knowingness from whatever station, level or status they may hold. At the same time the Afrikan does the self a great service in safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.

The Afrikan history continuum is a replete with the civilisations of the highest order and surely must continue with the creation of the same secured into eternity. Civilisation was never built on a whim of happenstance. Afrikan souls engaged their brilliancy and applied themselves to upright construction – there is surely no revision necessary in respect of recollection of such qualities for empowerment in the now and time to come.

Afrikan Historia Msimu is an observance period for the duration of the tenth month of the year (so-called October). This is a special time for learning, growth and development of the Afrikan experience in the world. It is a time of spiritual and cultural elevation as Afrikan history is restored to fabric of life in the living knowingness of the then, the now and tomorrow. Great ones of the Afrikan journey are highlighted and the symbols relevant to the time invigorate life in the imperative onward flow of global Afrikan ascendancy.  This wonderful observance is a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).

The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
