What of Implicit Learning?

The primary and spirit people of creation naturally hold within their fabric of their self-determined living the continual thrust of learning for their ascension. Indeed, within their spiritual-cultural norm this people engage in a vast plethora of life-enhancing activities from upright spiritual practice to formal programs of tuition in respect of their ever-greater and evermore empowering knowingness of themselves, the world and beyond in service of their norm of pinnacle civilisation. Of course, knowingness of the self necessarily and naturally remains core. Further, throughout their continuum, this pioneering people of culture and unparalleled civilised beingness could valuably learn through their life’s engagement at levels of intimacy and depth both formally and informally that it was an implicit norm of their self-determined way.

In the contemporary era, the term implicit learning has been used to describe to some extent intrinsic knowledge acquisition. A mainstream source puts it this way:  

“Implicit learning refers to the process of acquiring knowledge about the structure of the environment without conscious awareness, or 'the non-intentional acquisition of knowledge about structural relations between objects or events”.

In a state of interruption and disruption, Afrikan souls can not only find themselves stripped of their natural norms of spiritual and cultural engagement for their ascension but may also be imposed upon to face a plague of miseducating vices. Here, the wholesome and upright inherent learning that features throughout their continuum suffers to state the least. Of course, others that mean the Afrikan ill may well attempt to miseducate at both the inherent and explicit levels in order to derail, thwart or deny Afrikan knowingness of self to serve destructive intent.

Despite adverse challenge, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can recover and restore their ways of inherent knowing. As this primary people established their own structures and environment and functioning throughout their yesteryears of fullest flourishing, so too can they do so in the now and in time to come (and surely must). In this, their environment is naturally an extension of themselves and thus knowingness of it is a form of – or extension of - self-knowing. Likewise, this is naturally true for knowingness of the self-determined object or event. Here then, inherent learning for ascension can be restored to its rightful place of normality whilst being complemented by its application in upright self-determined life engagement.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to make the effort to learn of themselves and bring about necessary progressive outcomes of their uplift. Each soul can make a positive and engaging step forward in this regard from whatever station, level or status. 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 great and magnificent Marcus Garvey from the profound depths of his knowingness eloquently shared the following wisdom words highlights the inherent connectedness of the spiritual and its pragmatic physical application:

“God, out of His Universal Intelligence, made matter and he made the mind. That matter is made by God, and man is matter as well as mind; therefore, man must be in the image of God, because nothing could exist without God. As God made the universe out of His universal knowledge or intelligence, so man in his unitary knowledge or intelligence can make a typewriter, and automobile or a chair”.

Self-determined learning whether implicit or explicit for Afrikan ascension of rightful order is surely not optional. Civilisation is built and Afrikan souls ought never be lulled into the false notion of its coming through happenstance.

The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
