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

It is obvious that throughout the unparalleled extent and richness of their continuum that Afrikan souls have been able to construct the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Yet, the outward expression of constructive activity surely reflects the natural and superlative ability that this primary people have in the self-determined excellence necessary in the building up of themselves. One may refer to this as a process of self-construction. 

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term self-construction is described in the following way as it relates to an individual:  

“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”. 

Within the context of this discussion, the focus is upon the totality of Afrikan people, thus it is deemed apt to make adaptations to the sourced detail in order to reflect this. In so doing, something that looks like the following may result: 

“Afrikan self-construction is the self-determined building up of the authentic Afrikan personality in Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere through purposeful and upright activity utilising relevant means, all in service of Afrikan fullest flourishing and security. This construction is relevant to this people as whole regardless of geographical locale and naturally takes place within their authentic cultural and other life spheres accordingly (whether creatively restored or otherwise). Afrikan souls naturally undergo self-construction as they develop their personality at the shared level of oneness based upon their shared experience”.  

Unfortunately, the natural norm of self-determined Afrikan construction - as the Afrikan experience shows – has been imposed upon with interruption and disruption by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Still, it is only Afrikan souls that can restore their own authentic and upright thrust of self-construction. Indeed, disruptions can provide key lessons in necessary security for a successful process of longevity.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, with his exceptional insight and wisdom articulates the following: 

“All of our experiences fuse into our personality. Everything that ever happened to us is an ingredient”. 

Thus, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in their recovery of self-knowledge detailing the totality of their experiences from their norm of optimality and thriving to the lessons that emerge from any imposed disruption. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
