When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of an Eternal Season of Self-Knowledge? 

The ancient and ageless wisdom of Afrikan souls has a vast array of empowering utterances that are of great importance to this primary people of creation. At the same time, there are certain wisdom articulations that necessarily and naturally hold true at the foundational level of Afrikan life. A powerful example of this is in the phrase ‘Know Thyself’. In this, Afrikan souls have a self-determined and compelling directive to secure knowingness of themselves from each generation to the next.  

According to a contemporary mainstream source, succinctly put: 

“Self-knowledge in psychology is “actual genuine information one possesses about oneself”.  

Another mainstream source suggests that self-knowledge accounts for: 

“1) what others say/think about us, 2) how we think and feel about ourselves, 3) who we really are and 4) who we want to become”. 

A third mainstream source offers some semblance of insight in metaphysical terms thus: 

“the Self is the individual soul or inner person while the higher Self is eternal and inseparable from the universe”.  

In order to bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience, the sourced details can be combined and adapted in the following way: 

“Self-knowledge for Afrikan people is the actual genuine knowingness one possesses about the Afrikan self throughout its various levels. It accounts for: the positive Afrikan self-image, who Afrikans truly are – whether here, there or elsewhere - and, who Afrikan souls determine themselves to be throughout their eternity to come. Knowledge of self also speaks to the soul of the Afrikan self and its inseparable role in universe at large”.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X articulates that Afrikan souls subject to a state of interruption and disruption have a duty and responsibility to themselves to relinquish the effects of miseducation of self and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda when he insightfully puts forth that: 

“Our own mind has to be changed, we have to change our mind about ourselves”. 

Surely, the Afrikan wherever located ought to take heed and restore self-knowledge in the best ways possible. With self-determined learning and development in this regard, Afrikan souls will surely allow themselves to render their fullest flourishing and security inevitable.
