Celebrating Empowerment of Self-Economy

In the contemporary period where
a vast array of trinkets and aesthetic accessories
are pushed and peddled from the expression of the economies of others; where a
host of propaganda vehicles (formal and informal) can fuel confinement of Afrikan
souls into states of exclusive consumerism; where glitz and glamour can become empty
symbols of pseudo-progress; where an outward ‘show’ can mean more than rooted
substance of rightful order and ascension – Afrikan souls can find themselves
confronted with a barrage of distractions from their natural norm of
self-economy functioning.
If such distractions were to take hold of the Afrikan and fester throughout their existence from generation to generation, then self-economy would surely be left wanting to state the least. Worst yet, suppose that the Afrikan were to detrimentally consider embracement or acquisition of distractive vices as ultimate ideals of success or as a substitute for a rite of passage, the results could be of dire disorder.
Afrikan souls ought not allow themselves to be misused as vessels to perpetuate the thwarting of their natural self-economy norm and the upright civilised living it serves. Only this primary and spirit people of creation can construct, operate and develop their self-economy, with all of the empowerment that it brings to them. Upright steps of real progress may be large or small. Yet, each step can rightfully be a contributory one from whatever station, role or status a soul may hold.
So then, how can the Afrikan make a way amidst the smokescreen of distractions? Well, a foundational port-of-call is surely the restoration of a level of self-knowingness. Void of knowingness of their norm of superlative civilisation with its key component of self-economy, the importance of this vital function can be relegated to loss. In knowingness of self lies key lessons that experience and wisdom of peoplehood tell. Thus, tools of upright construction can be claimed, developed and applied in the best ways possible. At the same time the means for safeguarding against susceptibility to contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoing and the like can also be made effective.
Perpetual growth and development of upright order for this soul people is surely their imperative preserve. Whether in the realms of self-economy or other vital areas of functioning, this people must surely exercise self-determined effort for their own ascension and realise their maximal potential and capability of grand civilisation.
Ujamaa Kiburi Siku is a wonderful part of the spiritual-cultural observance calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. It takes place in the first week of June marking the time of significant occurrence both on the continent of Afrika and in the diaspora concerning Afrikan economy. Ujamaa Kiburi Siku as with the other observances on the Afrikan cultural calendar is just that – an observance. Therefore, wherever the Afrikan is whether at home, at a community gathering or elsewhere it can be observed.
