When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of History as a Vehicle to Solve Shared Problems? 

For Afrikan people to engage in the study of their history is for Afrikan souls to be informed of the lessons that emerge from their extensive and shared world experience whether they are located here, there or elsewhere. In this, Afrikan history can be a powerful and indispensable asset in self-determined efforts to resolve problem issues the confront Afrikan souls in the now in order that Afrikan fullest flourishing and security can be realised. Indeed, the goal of optimal flourishing and security for this people at the core level of shared oneness that this soul people naturally hold regardless of locale, may not be even be possible to conceive void of appropriate levels of historical knowing.  

A contemporary mainstream source highlights the point in presenting the following detail: 

“Because history gives us the tools to analyse and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and future problems”. 

Another mainstream offers the following additional commentary: 

“Recommendations or solutions to present-day problems based on the understanding of the past and anticipation of the future through the study of history”. 

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to sever Afrikan souls from their shared history in order that imposed problems of fragmentation, division and the like can be perpetuated. Certainly, vices such as miseducation and misrepresentation may be deployed in the attempt to seal an intended ill-fate for Afrikan souls.  

Despite the challenges, it is for Afrikan souls themselves to be informed of their historical experience and apply themselves accordingly to solve their problems and realise their optimality. Surely, this primary people of creation do themselves a disservice to do otherwise. 

No matter where Afrikan souls stand in the world, the Afrikan here is naturally at the core level of existence is connected to the Afrikan there and elsewhere. This is something that the Afrikan history continuum empoweringly draws attention to time and time again. 

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, with his exceptional depth of wisdom and insight brings focus to this connectivity in relation to problems solving when he articulated the following in relation to Afrikan people in different geographical locations: 

“Your problems will never by fully solved until and unless ours are solved. You will never be fully respected until and unless we are also respected”. 

Even from this succinct yet powerful utterance there are surely historical lessons to be learned. With self-determined learning and development activity at the appropriate levels, Afrikan souls can surely problem-solve in exceptional ways and lift themselves as a whole people. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
