What of Learning Confusion?

Naturally, the self-determined process of learning for Afrikan souls throughout their immense continuum brings about a level of clarity for the learner. For this pioneering people of culture and civilisation clarity holds knowingness of the Creator Supreme, the universe at large, the self and of pragmatic application in building of rightful order as a norm. So much so that pinnacle civilisations of the most enduring forms were established by this primary people of creation.  Confusion at the fundamental level about who and what they were could never have yielded such glorious and constructive outcomes of unparalleled brilliancy and longevity. Here, vital learning processes secured Afrikan ascension. At the same time, such learning necessarily safeguarded the Afrikan self from the chaos, disorder and confusion of an uncivilised existence steeped in unknowingness of themselves.  

In the contemporary period approaches towards learning and confusion may differ. One mainstream source posits the following:

“Confusion indicates an uncertainty about what to do next or how to act. Thus, confusion accompanies cognitive disequilibrium which plays an important role in comprehension and learning processes”.

The term cognitive disequilibrium is given the following description in another mainstream source:

“Cognitive disequilibrium is a state that occurs when learners face obstacles to goals, contradictions, incongruities, anomalies, uncertainty, and salient contrasts”.

From these extracts one can infer that a level of ‘confusion’ plays a role in the learning process for it presents a state from which clarity can be gleaned, a direction deemed to be of progress can be attained, or a solution can be sought as an outcome.

In a state of interruption and disruption abject confusion can be prevalent amongst Afrikan souls much of which can be manufactured, fuelled or induced by others that mean the Afrikan ill through miseducation and other vices of disorder. Here, the focus to create maximum confusion in relation to Afrikan self-knowingness appears to be at the height of epidemic proportions.  Indeed, where the Afrikan makes progress towards the restoration of self-knowingness another source of confusion can somehow rear its ugly head in the futile attempt to thwart the natural norm of upright recovery of self-knowingness and ascension. Further, unknowingness of self in the soul can be demanding of like company. This can drive susceptible souls into becoming agents of confusion by proxy. Strategies to generate and peddle intentionally destructive misinformation or attempts to pull the rug from underneath the Afrikan of upright progress can then materialise from near or far.  

If a level of confusion has a role to play in comprehension and learning processes then the contemporary Afrikan soul is exposed to a barrage of it. Afrikans must surely utilise the lessons from their own experiences to inform their vital learning processes to bring about clarity, upright direction and so on for themselves. Noone can restore self-knowingness to Afrikan but the Afrikan self. Wilfully wallowing in a state of abject confusion is no substitute nor a worthy excuse for this people of a highly civilised norm.  Each soul from whatever station, level or status can make steps of upright progress towards the recovery of self-knowingness and engage in the imperative thrust of rightfully ordered ascension. At the same time, securing the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like are key.

In summary terms, another mainstream source offers the following definition of confusion:

“Uncertainty about what is happening, intended, or required”.

The Afrikan must surely determine a level of certainty about what happens to the self. Afrikans must surely determine a level of certainty about what they intend for themselves. Afrikans must surely determine a level of certainly in what they require of themselves. Civilisation is not realised by happenstance.

The magnificent hero Marcus Garvey with his profound depths of knowingness insightfully articulates the following words of wisdom:

“No man, and for that matter no people can see themselves as others see them”.

Surely Afrikan souls can regain sight of clarity in relation to themselves and bring about their norm of pinnacle civilisation.  

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).
