What of Regal Dress?

The norm of highly cultured living of Afrikan souls brought with it exquisite aesthetics of upright dignity and distinction. Amongst their aesthetic expressions was that of their garments. These exceptional pioneers of cloth making and clothing industries adorned themselves in regal attire that not only exuded self-determined creative beauty but could also represent deep and empowering meaning. Symbols, colours and patterns reflected the superlative spiritual-cultural repertoire of this primary people of creation energised to build pinnacle civilisation. Naturally, the garments of this people of regal bearing carried their air of royalty.

In the contemporary era, the term regal dress has been used to describe garment types of formal distinction.  According to a mainstream source regal dress:  

“originally referred to the elaborate formal dress and accessories of a sovereign, but now it also refers to any type of elaborate formal dress. The word stems from the Latin substantivation of the adjective regalis, "regal", itself from rex, "king". It is sometimes used in the singular, regale”.

For this spirit people of creation dress reflected their bountiful substance of self, rightful order of living and their continual ascension. Their fit was of their highly civilised norm. But then, what of dress for Afrikan souls in a state of interruption and disruption? In such a state, Afrikan souls can be exposed to dress and accessories pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Dress to promote self-denigration, low levels of self-respect or indignity can be amongst those thrust before the Afrikan. Further, in a state where Afrikan souls are not clothing themselves nor clothing themselves in their self-determined, self-empowering motifs and design means that economic and other benefits are haemorrhaged outwardly. Clearly, this is an existence not of this soul people’s natural norm of regal bearing.

Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their rightful substance of being and create and utilise regal dress of their own determination to empower their ascension. Void of self-knowingness souls may not even be aware of the grand continuum of their own exquisite garment production. Or, be susceptible to the ill-vices that energise self-condemnation of anything productive of self. Here, each soul from whatever station, level or status can surely take steps to restore a level of self-knowingness for life application of rightful order accordingly. At the same time, safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoing and the like is key.

The upright dignity of highly civilised living has been with the Afrikan from age-to-age prior to the disruptions of recent experience. These first-born souls of humanity have the capacity to realise their highly civilised norm in the now and throughout the eternity to come through upright and ordered self-determined. In this, their representative self-created aesthetics can be a great boon.
