On Perceiving the World Outside the Classroom
as Intimidating and Unwelcome
Reaping Most from the Work World — A Cosmic Inquiry
A radiant terrestrial sphere — symbol of the WONDERFUL WORLD awaiting every fortified soul who dares to step beyond the classroom into the fullness of living.
The Globe transcends borders — it reminds us that the world is vaster than any classroom wall.
It embodies an ever-expanding horizon — where fear dissolves and possibility blooms.
Earth is our shared essence — the African Renaissance springs from this sacred ground.
The globe anchors us to our roots even as we ascend — grounded yet boundless.
Like the Earth seen from space, aspiration has no ceiling — only an endless cosmos.
BEYONDISM calls each soul to purposeful vocation — a world of work that is also play.
The world turns for YOU — to mirror your unique God-ascertained essence back to creation.
The Cosmos of Knowing
Knowing why governs knowing how
"The person who knows how will always have a job. The person who knows why will always be his boss."— Diane Ravitch, U.S. Educator (1938–)
"Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you… Insist on yourself, never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation… Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him."— Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Philosopher (1803–1882)
The Alchemy of Labour
Excellence flows from love of one's work
"There is more credit and satisfaction in being a first-rate truck driver than a tenth-rate chief executive."— B.C. Forbes, U.S. Publisher (1890–1954)
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."— Confucius, Chinese Philosopher & Educator (551–479 BC)
"Send a boy where he wants to go and you will see his best pace."— Hausa (Nigerian) Proverb
Work as Sacred Play
Great workers are great players
"What work I have done, I have done because it has been play… The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work… When we talk about great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil can never hope to do anything great."— Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), American Writer & Humourist (1835–1910)
"A person will worship something, have no doubt about that… That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore it behoves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming."— Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
HE HALLMARK OF MATURITY, in the context of a fully functional human being,
can be summed up in the German expression Lieben und arbeiten — "to love and to work."
The mature person is able to love in a socially approved way and to work productively
in his or her community and society. BEYONDISM augments you on the
'Prudent Pilgrimage' of perpetual self-expansion towards the 'Luminous Summit'
of your real God-ascertained essence.
The overriding principle is that the relationship between professions is not vertical,
but horizontal — none is superior to the other. As David Mamet wrote:
"All professions, achievements, impulses, are thrown up to compete, to strive,
to an end which is not chance, but is the effect of some Universal Will."
'Existence' informs us with bedrock certainty: if we impregnate our PSYCHE
with the will-to-live and the will-to-power, it will furnish us with the raw materials
to move forward. We must keep telling ourselves that we CAN and
WILL succeed in LIFE — this narrative will nourish and lift us to great heights.
The African Renaissance is not merely a political aspiration; it is a cosmic imperative —
a call to every African soul to rise, to know, and to become the fullness of what the
Universe has placed within them.
