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

The greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist necessarily held the feature of continual construction of rightful order. Afrikans built with such grandeur and splendidness of outcome that construction was never the result of their effort during a singular lifetime. Indeed, continual construction on an ever-ascending basis went from age to age. Of course, the grand monuments of architectural prowess and other creative expressions are lasting testaments to this continual thrust. Yet, perhaps the area of continual construction that may garner less by way of popular attention is the continual self-construction of Afrikan souls themselves that gave rise to their outputs of brilliancy.  

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term self-construction attracts the following detail in relation to the individual self: 

“Self-construction is the building up of the human personality through purposeful activity with materials in an environment. This construction is individual, yet takes place in a social context. As humans, we all undergo this self-construction, developing our personalities based on the experiences we have”. 

However, for the context of this discussion the self encompasses all of the various levels that relate to a whole people. In this case, Afrikan souls. As such, it is deemed appropriate to adapt the sourced detail to render focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience. In so doing, the something that looks like the following may be stated: 

“Afrikan self-construction is the building up of the Afrikan personality through purposeful self-determined activity with best possible use of materials any environment in service of Afrikan fullest flourishing and security. This construction is brought to be throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self and takes place throughout the various spheres of Afrikan life functioning - social and otherwise.  As Afrikan souls determine their self-construction on a continual basis from generation to generation their shared personality reflects their oneness of experience here, there and elsewhere”.  

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may seek to undermine or destroy Afrikan self-construction via a host of ill-vices. Yet, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can bring this vital thrust to fullest fruition and sustain it throughout their continuum to come.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X with his profound words of wisdom, emphatically urged the Afrikan to: 

“learn how to... see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself”. 

Doing so, naturally provides the necessary empowerment to realise Afrikan self-construction. Here, Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere must surely engage in appropriate levels of self-determined learning and development to facilitate ‘seeing’, ‘listening’ and ‘thinking’ for themselves. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
