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

It would be nonsensical perceive the natural self-determined life Afrikan souls to be void of their vital feature of learning and development of self – throughout its various levels. Yet, in a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, self-determined normality can become acutely skewed amongst these souls.  

Despite the challenges, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore the natural norm of ascension to their lives. Here, the Afrikan whether located here, there or elsewhere can engage in appropriate levels of self-determined learning and development in the best ways possible.  

At this point, some definitional detail may be of use. According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term learning and development attracts the following description in relation to the modern working environment: 

“Learning and development is about creating the right culture and environment for individuals and organisations to learn and grow. It’s knowing the current and future capability needs of the organisation, as well as how to create a learning culture that drives engagement in ongoing professional development”.  

In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan self and the Afrikan experience as a whole, adaptation can be exercised. The results of alteration may look something like the following:  

“Afrikan learning and development of self is about securing authentic cultural substance (creatively restored or otherwise) for Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere to learn to ever-increasing depths of who and what they are and their experience to facilitate their continual growth. It includes the knowing of their present and future capabilities and potentials of the self and working to fulfil them on an upright basis in service of Afrikan ascension accordingly. In this, ongoing development of the self is key”.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X eloquently articulates the importance of learning when he states: 

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today”.  

Of course, others that mean the Afrikan ill may use the term ‘education’ as a guise for what can – in actuality - be harmful miseducation in Afrikan life. Hence, it is the upright, authentic and self-determined effort of Afrikan souls themselves to bring about their own continual cultivation in regards to self-knowingness that surely must be of vital foundation. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
