What of Mandatory Learning?

Learning for the primary and spirit people of creation has always carried purpose, meaning and outcomes of progression throughout their norm of highly civilised living. As this pioneering people brought civilisation into its fullest expression learning establishments of powerful and core importance were developed to serve and secure their civilised growth and flourishing of brilliantly organised living of rightful order. Certainly, the learning involved for the world’s greatest and most enduring civilisations to have existed and to have been successfully governed from generation to generation, necessarily contained its mandatory elements. Indeed, regardless of station, role or status Afrikan souls held a level of knowingness of themselves - their experience, their way of life - and the great, greater and the greatest whole that they were naturally a part of and functioned in service for.

A contemporary mainstream source describes mandatory learning in the following way:

“Mandatory training. Mandatory training is compulsory training that is determined essential by an organisation for the safe and efficient delivery of services. This type of training is designed to reduce organisational risks and comply with local or national policies and government guidelines”.

In a state of interruption and disruption how much to Afrikan souls really know of themselves? If others that mean the Afrikan ill had their way self-knowingness amongst the soul people would surely be nullified. As reality attests, there is much by way of miseducation pushed and peddled to derail Afrikan souls from their natural and highly civilised norms for functioning. Whilst learning in the academic institutions of others may be deemed compelling; or training in the professional arena of others considered to be necessary, what of the core knowingness of self for this primary people?

Regardless of what other arena of learning participated in to glean (say) a particular skill or operational understanding, surely Afrikan souls can (and surely must) recover their natural core of self-knowingness. Only Afrikan souls can do this for themselves. Further, only Afrikan souls can reelevate such learning to the status of vital importance it truly ought to be. If ever then, there were to be a self-determined thrust of learning that were to be deemed mandatory amongst and by Afrikan souls to effect their ascension of rightful order, surely Afrikan self-knowingness and the Afrikan experience are apt subject matter.  

As a great example of the vital thrust of Afrikan self-determined learning, let us turn to the powerful organisation prowess of the magnificent Marcus Garvey. A principal Garveyite authority shared the following observations concerning a particular learning programme and its vehicle of learning:

“The immediate purpose of the course of Afrikan Philosophy was to train a cadre of UNIA leaders who would carry on the great work of the organisation”.

“Garvey’s initial vehicle for imparting his accumulated experience was the School of Afrikan Philosophy…Garvey trained a select group of UNIA organisers from the North American field. They spent twelve or more hours together every day. They listened to Garvey’s lectures, ate together, did their homework together. During the course of the month each student was required to write out each lesson in his or her own handwriting.

The course, described by Garvey as ‘a most rigid system of training’ covered over forty-two subjects. Much of it remained unwritten”.

The duty, responsibility, importance, seriousness and imperativeness of learning in relation to self-knowingness and self-experiences to empower the rightful order of ascension of Afrikan souls, lies with Afrikan souls themselves. The mirror of knowingness that this people hold up to themselves can again yield the reflection of pinnacle civilisation with self-determined diligence. At the same time, experiences can hold knowingness that allows the Afrikan to secure the self from contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like. In this, the Afrikan can learn to build and as the Afrikan builds so too can the Afrikan learn. Grand civilisation is not the stuff of 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).
