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

The superlative civilisations of the Afrikan continuum necessarily featured the thrust of Afrikan self-advancement. Indeed, the very nature of pinnacle civilisation is a state of great self-determined advancement. Certainly, there can be no outwardly expressed advancement and the very people of construction are not advanced – or advancing – themselves.  

In describing the notion of self-advancement, a contemporary mainstream source posits the following detail in relation to the individual self: 

“the advancement or promotion of oneself or one's interests”. 

Additionally, another mainstream source offers the following detail, again, in relation to the individual self: 

“the development or improvement of your own situation, education, position, etc.”. 

Of course, for the Afrikan there are different types and levels of an authentic education process. On one level learning can be an engagement to acquire a certain set of skills that naturally applies to thrust for betterment of Afrikan people. Perhaps at the more tertiary level there is a need to satisfy an interest or curiosity for a leisure pursuit or hobby. Yet, whatever other level education may be deemed worthy by Afrikan souls, fundamental learning in the arena of self-knowledge is naturally of crucial importance in the lives of this primary people of creation.  

With this in mind, and the context of this discussion focussed upon the experience of a whole people, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. The results of alteration may look something like the following: 

“Afrikan self-advancement speaks to the advancement, promotion and realisation of Afrikan people’s best interests in service of their fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. This requires Afrikan self-determined effort to develop and improve their situation, authentic education and standing as a whole. Fundamental to this is education to bring about knowingness of themselves with knowledge of the core oneness that they share amongst themselves regardless of geographical locale”. 

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill, may seek to derail or deny Afrikan self-advancement with vices such as miseducation, other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda and the like. Faux postering of various sorts, or pacifying words void of any meaningful substance may be projected by other of ill as temporary pacifiers to serve their greater intent on Afrikan doom.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, with his profound depth of wisdom and analysis highlights illusionary of progress thus: 

“I will never say that progress is being made. If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress”. 

Afrikan souls have a vast resource of lessons to be learnt from their own world experience, from their natural norm of pinnacle flourishing to periods of temporary disruption. In this, Afrikan souls can bring forth the best of themselves and advance accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
