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

What kind of self is naturally and authentically ideal for Afrikan souls as a whole? If one were to examine this primary people’s continuum even at a cursory glance, the ideal self is generally a matter of pinnacle spiritual conception. Yet, in the physical sense the outcomes of their self-determined ideals have been realised in the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. There are surely lessons to be learned from this for the Afrikan in contemporary times, especially if faced with acute levels of interruption and disruption.  

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term ideal self attracts the following detail:   

“The ideal self is the part of a person's self-concept that consists of their desires, hopes, and wishes. It is a part of the self that is highly prized by the individual; thus, the ideal self is considered to be a motivator within a person's self-concept". 

Given that the ideal self of the Afrikan throughout their uniquely extensive continuum can be seen to have the outcome of superlative civilisation. It stands to reason that the ideal Afrikan self is highly cultured at a level commensurate with the result. With this in mind, and to bring the focus to the experience of Afrikan souls as a whole, it is considered pertinent to adapt the sourced detail. In so doing, something that looks like the following may be stated: 

“The ideal Afrikan self is the part of Afrikan people’s authentic self-concept that consists of their shared vision, projections and aspirations to service their fullest flourishing and security. This is a part of their whole self at the level of shared oneness that is highly valued by this primary people steeped in knowingness of themselves whether they are located here, there or elsewhere. In this, the ideal Afrikan self can be considered an empowering motivator for this people’s ascension of rightful order”.  

To hold an ideal of self in Afrikan life is to propel pragmatic engagement. Despite any challenges that may be brought to the fore in a state of disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan il, it is for the Afrikans to bring their authentic and ideal self into fruition.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, illustrates this point with his exception depth of wisdom and analysis when he states:  

“We ourselves have to lift the level of our community, the standard of our community to a higher level, make our own society beautiful so that we will be satisfied in our own social circles”.   

In lifting the Afrikan community here, there and elsewhere, Afrikan souls can surely bring forth their optimality. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
