What of In-Depth Learning?

Naturally, Afrikan people are aesthetically beautiful with their melanated complexions, textured hair and so on. Yet, such stunning qualities of are the natural veneer to their beautiful substance of being that is rooted in lived spiritual-cultural fabric of upright order. Their norm of aesthetic beautifulness with deeper substance of being is mirrored in the expression of pinnacle civilisation that this primary people brought have forth. Likewise, the essential life engagement of learning in relation to self holds levels of meaning. At the surface level there may be effort for awareness (just enough) to verbally articulate vital sayings such as ‘Know Thyself’ or perhaps highlight it in visual form as useful commentary. At another level, learning associated with its life application and security for continual ascension can provide an in-road to deeper substance.  Here, deeper knowingness is gleaned from what can be described as in-depth learning.

According to a contemporary mainstream source in-depth learning is outlined thus:

“In-depth learning is characterised by which learners seek to fully understand the meaning of a concept and relate it to daily life”.

In a time of interruption and disruption Afrikan souls may be shoehorned into the realms of being concerned exclusively with a level of aesthetic awareness of themselves. Here, a detachment of looking Afrikan may be erroneously considered to be the totality of beingness and efforts to learn of self become truncated to surface level at best. Thus, if susceptibly all-consumed by mis-education souls may remain content with aesthetic ‘knowing’ because the perception might be: that is all there is to know of Afrikan life; that is the totality of Afrikan existence; this existence does not warrant any further learning; further learning is of no value; surface level awareness is total.  Meanwhile, others that mean the Afrikan ill rub their hands with glee at the prospect that a people void of any depth of knowing in relation to themselves can be readily misused this way or that.

Afrikan souls naturally have the rich repository of themselves and their experiences from which learning for ascension can be gleaned. This goes way beyond any surface, tertiary or aesthetic level inquiry. Rather, some semblance of depth in relation to self-knowingness can be considered vital in the recovery of this soul people’s norm of engagement in self-determined construction and highly civilised living.  

The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey with deep insight provides the following cautionary words of wisdom as energising fuel for knowingness amongst Afrikan souls to flourish:

“If you do not know what went on before you came here and what is happening at the time you live, but away from you, you will not know the world and will be ignorant of the world”.

Total ignorance of the Afrikan world experience can certainly provide bliss to others that mean the Afrikan ill and leave the Afrikan destitute in a wasteland of self-neglect and self-abandonment. Surely, Afrikan souls have a responsibility to themselves (whatever else may be deemed compelling activity) to engage in a level of learning to restore knowingness of themselves to depths apt and possible. If the Afrikan knows not their self of highly civilised norm then its restoration is nullified. Each soul from whatever station, level or status can take steps towards learning of some depth in relation to the self and make an upright contribution in life’s application for ascension of rightful order. At the same time, knowingness can be indispensable in safeguarding the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.

Through self-determined effort this primary and spirit people of creation can empower their daily lives with traction towards their natural norm of grand civilisation.  For this, depth of learning in relation to themselves as pioneers, prolific builders, expressors of brilliancy and so on is vital to embrace as living engagement.    

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).
