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

For Afrikan souls to truly and deeply appreciate themselves as whole – regardless of geographical locale – rootedness in their knowingness of self at the level of shared oneness must surely apply. Far from being some abstract fictional conception, this primary people’s continuum of unparalleled experience undeniably represents a vast resource to naturally empower their self-appreciation.  

Yet, in times of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, self-appreciation can suffer to state the least. Indeed, it may well be that others bent on Afrikan destruction can attempt to set a course of self-appreciation denial amongst soul people through miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda or worse. 

Despite the challenges, it is Afrikan souls themselves that have the duty and responsibility to recultivate, restore and secure appropriate levels of genuine self-knowingness that can – in turn – bring about their optimal and authentic self-appreciation wherever located. 

To bring this into focus some definitional detail may be useful. According to a contemporary mainstream source the term self-appreciation as it would apply to an individual attracts the following description:   

“Self-Appreciation is about consciously acknowledging the positive within you”. 

In the context of this discussion where the focus is upon Afrikan souls as a whole, it is considered pertinent that the sourced detail is adapted into this relevance. In so doing, something that looks like the following may result: 

“Afrikan self-appreciation is about Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere consciously acknowledging the positive within themselves and each other regardless of geographical locale and in thrust of their fullest flourishing and security as a whole people”. 

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X highlights emphatically highlights to Afrikan souls with is profound depth of wisdom that: 

“A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything”. 

Here, it may be concluded that it is a soul who holds self-appreciation of their whole people where self-appreciation fully blossoms for that people. If Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere stood to realise the fullest flourishing and security of their world community, then their glory of self-appreciation would surely be in action. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
