SUMMARY on how to PROVOKE a NATURAL LIFE

  1. SYMPATHETIC kindness presupposes the faculty of imagining as one’s OWN, the suffering of others.
  2. USEFUL altruism and empathy goes together. They are the loftiest marks of a PSYCHIC PRECISION.
  3. MINDING of the poorest person you have ever seen, is asking if your next act will be of any use to him.
  4. MOST confuse altruism with cowardice. Relinquish not your courage in promoting our RENAISSANCE.
  5. ASPIRE to face a possible annihilation, so that RENAISSANCE may cast its eternal brilliance over Africa.
  6. RECEIVE BEYONDISM as a matter of LIFE and DEATH; you will amass the guts to be its ambassador.
  7. YE shall die better, only by facing fearful odds, for the ashes of your ancestors, and the temples of GOD.
  1. PEOPLE think they are thyselves when they are most impulsive, whereas it is then they are most passive.
  2. REALLY, they are just caught in some ancestral torrent of feeling, and swept on to a precipitate reaction.
  3. ONLY part of the situation is seen, because without thought only part of OURSELVES can be perceived.
  4. VIEWED from the precise perspective of giving meaning to one’s LIFE, an impulse is an “inadequate idea”.
  5. ORDINARILY, SELF-AWARENESS is response delayed till every vital angle of the issue at hand is clear.
  6. KEENNESS in vital ideas is manifested, when it has aroused a correlative reaction, inherited or acquired.
  7. ENDLESS PSYCHIC nourishment is arrived only when the idea is adequate, the response all that it can be.
  1. NEVER write your LIFE with words, without deeds. Thinking which is devoid of action is null and void.
  2. ALWAYS seek a full and varied career, which gives acquaintance with everything that can broaden you.
  3. TRAVEL only the road which deepen, strengthen or sharpen your PSYCHE, however long or rough it is.
  4. USUALLY, admire not the merely contemplative LIFE, and scorn knowledge that does not lead to action.
  5. REMEMBER that in the theatre of human LIFE, it is only suitable for gods and angels to be spectators.
  6. AFFIRMATIVELY, if you are not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original.
  7. LIVE lovingly, and count your AGE by your FRIENDS, not years. Count your LIFE by smiles, not tears.

May you gainfully get the 6th ILLIMITABLE INSPIRATION!

BEYONDISM emerges as an intervention measure in these Tumultuous Times.
As the steam of the YOUTHS’ passion and propensity for experimentation is leaking away irretrievably.
This is happening as the city of their instinctual innovation,
Is under constant threat of bombardment from all corners.
Your urge to partake in the NEW African ORDER would remain unsatisfied,
If you do not fully understand HUMAN HISTORY in all its ramifications.
In this reference, BEYONDISM outlines SEVEN definitive modes:

  1. Holistic history is colour-blind, and can develop a civilisation (in any favourable environment) under almost any skin. History is so indifferently rich, that a case for almost any conclusion from it, can be made by a selection of instances. History smiles at all attempts, to force its flow into theoretical patterns, or logical grooves; it plays havoc with our generalisations, breaks all our rules; history is baroque (like highly ornamental music). There is no humourist like history. Human history is a brief spot in space, and its first lesson is modesty.

  2. In all manifestations, a people not prepared to face its own history, cannot manage to face its own future. The present is the past rolled up for action, and the past is the present unrolled for understanding. History is a self-sufficient and self-contained discipline, important for its own sake. By providing a coherent, intelligible account of the past, it satisfies a profound human yearning for knowledge about our roots. It requires no justification other than that.

  3. Standing firmly on this earth, we should see history as a book with many pages — and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning. By regarding history as the chronicles of follies and misfortunes of mankind, as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimised — the question involuntarily arises — to what principle, to what final aim, these enormous sacrifices have been offered?

  4. The ultimate determining element in history, is the production and reproduction of real LIFE. Hence, if somebody twists this into saying that the economic element is the only determining one, he or she transforms that proposition into a meaningless, abstract, senseless phrase. All history is necessarily written from the standpoint of the present, and is, in an inescapable sense, the history not only of the present, but of that which is contemporaneously judged to be important in the present.

  5. One of the lessons of history, is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say. A morsel of genuine history, is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. A history without moral dimension, is a history without human causation, and hence, what is natural is what occurs, and what occurs is natural. A page of history, is worth a volume of logic. History repeats itself in the large, because human nature changes with geological leisureliness. A critical outstanding feature of history is that, religion has many lives, and a habit of resurrection. History offers some consolation, by reminding us that sin has flourished in every age.

  6. Radical history is the opium of the imagination; and each generation must write its own history. An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man; as...the Reformation, of Luther; Quakerism, of Fox; Methodism, of Wesley; Abolition, of Clarkson. All history resolves itself easily, into the biography of a few stout and earnest persons. All history must necessarily have reference to the existence, and condition of human being. History is a memorial of the succession of Time; and in the created universe, human being is the only creature known to human being, to whom the succession of Time, is an object of perception.

  7. Yielding to the illumination of historical empiricism, entails construing civilisation as a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry, and even whittle statues. The story of civilisation, is the story of what happened on the banks. Some historians are pessimists, because they ignore the banks for the river.

May you whoopingly win the 6th PURPOSIVE PRIZE!

A person who is motivated by vanity behaves in certain unbecoming ways:

Talks a lot about oneself, cleaves to the society of the eminent, rejects criticisms. 
Seeks the footlights and disengages oneself from conversations about the merits of others. 
One indulges in roseate daydreams about personal successes. 
Avoids recalling past failures and plans for one’s advancement. 
One feels certain pangs and flutters in certain situations; 
has an acute sinking feeling when an eminent person forgets his or her name. 
Feels buoyant of heart and light of toe on hearing of the misfortunes of his or her rivals.

“I’m the type to swallow my blood before I swallow my pride,” so sung 50 Cent

Feelings of pique and buoyancy are not more directly indicative of vanity.
Vanity resides in the public acts of boasting or private acts of daydreaming.
None are more taken in with flattery than the vain, who wish to be the first and are not.
Vanity is the venomous pang which will poison or water down all effort towards ACTUALISATION.
A BLESSED BEYONDIST is a regular person with flaws, shortcomings and defects. 
Like any one else one experiences challenges and bad days. 
However, because one is confident (not vain), one does not let any of this hold one back.

May you felicitously face the 6th phase of DILIGENT DIMENSIONS

Regardless of our opinions of the relative values of the answers from philosophy, religions and science, we should recognize —though those born in the generations of intellectual warfare between science and religion may find it hard to do so —that the most asked QUESTIONS are virtually identical. First: “Where am I? What is the nature of this universe in which this small, pulsating bit of protoplasm finds itself?” Secondly: “What am I? What are the properties —the limitations, the needs, the full possibilities —of this bit of living matter I call myself?” Thirdly: “What shall I do?” The first two questions concern the stage and the actor. But what is the play? What is the purpose of the individual's appearance? Here the individual seeks an answer to, “What ought I to do?”

Being - in – the – World #vi
Dwelling in Wholeness

“Dasein analysis sees man not as a detached subject, but as a being fundamentally involved in the world.”
— Swiss psychoanalytic psychiatrist Medard Boss (1903-1990)

Medard Boss collaborated with Heidegger to develop Daseinsanalysis, an existential form of psychotherapy grounded in the ontological insights of “Being-in-the-World”. Let’s go BEYOND the TEXT by authoring a reflection distilling Boss’s interpretation of “Being-in-the-World” into a format that aligns with Self-Actualization, the African Renaissance, and the forward-looking spirit of BEYONDISM.

    6. Healing starts where I stop hiding and merrily meet TRUTH without a flouncer.
    7. To actualize AFRICA, I embrace LIFE directly — not as a doubtful denouncer.

  2. Noble Freedom Through Presence

    4. In presence, I substantially shed illusion — I choose TRUTH, not cultural show.
    5. Genuine LIFE calls for courage — not denial awfully wrapped in ancestral vow.
    6. Healing asks me to ardently awaken — not sordidly sleep beneath trauma’s plow.
    7. To go BEYOND, I must laudably live this moment, not tomorrow’s borrowed vow.

  3. Suitable Embodiment and Reality
    1. I do not FLOAT in thought — I LIVE, breathe, hunger, touch, and walk.
    2. No healing comes from abstraction — only through the body can I unlock.
    3. SELF is not revealed in ideas alone — it prudently pulses in dance and talk.
    4. In merry movement and robust rhythm, I reclaim where they once mocked.
    5. Grounded in EARTH, I verily rise — not just on stages where others gawk.
    6. Healing means felicitously feeling the body — the breath, the heat, the flock.
    7. To radically revive AFRICA, I must feel our BEING in every SUNLIT walk.

  4. Inalienable Therapeutic Space

    3. Selfhood deepens through trust — through silence where wounds are stirred.
    4. In shared AWARENESS, I find solemn space to rebuild what history blurred.
    5. Grief is not weakness — it’s a pronounced proof that injustice really occurred.

    7. To actualize AFRICA, I create SPACE for holistic healing that’s not deferred.

  5. Gentle Call of Authenticity

    2. Not all tradition uplifts — some conceal chains dressed in ancestral name.
    3. SELFHOOD thrives when I question — when I refuse the inherited shame.
    4. In choosing to be real, I become FREE to soar; I break out of mimic game.
    5. Growth means risking rejection — walking roads no colonizer could tame.
    6. Healing begins with TRUTH — not with puerile praise or borrowed fame.
    7. To go BEYOND, I must be fully me — wild, sacred, unleashed, untamed.

  6. Harvesting Blossoming of Friendship
    1. I do not EXIST alone — my BEING is acutely tied to the Other’s breath.
    2. No wholeness happens in EGO — love and solidarity resist spiritual death.
    3. SELF is not exclusive private property — it blossoms in friendship’s depth.
    4. In community, I deftly discover the courage to share, mourn, and bequeath.

    2. Not all pain must be escaped — some must be EMBRACED whole.
    3. SELFHOOD emerges when I ACCEPT my past, without the control.
    4. In brokenness, there is beauty — not shame, not toil, but LIFE’s toll.
    5. GRACE grows in raw places — cracks where SPIRIT makes us whole.
    6. HEALING teaches me that even wounds, even misfortunes have a role.
    7. To go BEYOND, I must rise rooted — luminous, embodied, and whole.





















The 2nd Dimension of BEYONDIST ‘BEING’
Being - with – Others #vi
The Dream BEYOND the Mountain: The Symphony of Being-with-Others

“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality,
tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly,
affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be
until you are what you ought to be.”
— American clergyman and Nobel Prize winner Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968),
“Letter from Birmingham Jail”

King articulated a vision of humanity as an interdependent web of mutuality, echoing existential and theological dimensions of “Being-with-Others”. Justice and peace arise when persons encounter each other as ends-in-themselves, not means. Below is a poetic simplification of King Jr.’s concept of “Being-with-Others”, rooted in his ethics of beloved community, interdependence, justice, and redemptive love. This rendition frames his ideas in service of Self-Actualization, an African Renaissance, and the forward vision of BEYONDISM.

The 3rd Dimension of BEYONDIST ‘BEING’
Being–with–in–Motion #vi
Inner Sunrise: Through the Fourth Way Lens

“The true work of being is to wake up from mechanical life,
moving consciously between inner states and outer realities.”
— Scottish neurologist, psychiatrist, author
and noted Fourth Way esoteric teacher Henry Maurice Dunlop Nicoll (1884 – 1953)

Nicoll stresses the dynamic journey of self-awareness as an active motion between inner and outer worlds. He described the self as fluid and evolving, where Being grows through inner motion, intentional attention, and engagement with others on the path of inner unity. The core of his argument that human existence is not a static self-in-isolation, but a relational process unfolding in time and motion—deeply aligns with the BEYONDIST view of co-becoming and transcendent relationality within larger cultural or cosmic arcs.

Being - para – Absurdity #vi
Restore the Will: Purpose, Suffering, and the Power of the Soul to Rise

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
— Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl (1905 - 1997)

Viktor Frankl didn’t use the term “Absurdism” per se, but his logotherapy deeply engages with life’s search for meaning amid suffering and apparent meaninglessness, which intersects with absurdist themes. The above quote speaks to the human capacity to find meaning despite the absurd or painful conditions of life—an active, courageous self-actualization that aligns closely with responding to absurdity.

(SEVEN articles [each in 7 lines] on how to RESTORE meaningfulness in your LIFE)

  1. Rebellion Through Meaning
    1. Resisting ABSURDITY begins not with denial, but by discovering meaning in the depths.
    2. Even in chains, the SOUL radically remains free to candidly choose how it will respond.
    3. Suffering or subjugation is not a CURSE if we find PURPOSE through the pain endured.
    4. To laudably LIVE is not merely to physically survive, but to solemnly serve a higher WHY.
    5. Our SELF-actualization is tied not to pleasure, but to significance BEYOND circumstance.
    6. Rising in BEYONDISM, we REJECT despair’s tyranny with a silent, defiant YES to LIFE.
    7. Even ABSURDITY yields when we gorgeously give LIFE MEANING that it cannot TAKE.

  2. Embracing Ennobling Responsibility
    1. Responsibility is the wondrous weight of freedom—to create VALUES even in a void.
    2. Even without guarantees, we remain authors of response, shapers of our SOUL’s story.
    3. SELFHOOD matures upon bearing meaning—not as burden, but as chosen commitment.
    4. To audaciously act is to affluently answer: what does this moment ASK of me NOW?
    5. Our Renaissance calls for this: a return to MEANINGFUL, conscious responsibility.
    6. Responsibility is not oppression—it is the amorous dignity of being chosen to MATTER.
    7. Even ABSURDITY fears those who RISE with the FIRE of deliberately chosen DUTY.

  3. Search for Meaning as Freedom
    1. Real freedom is not the absence of LIMITS, but PURPOSE lived within LIMITS.
    2. Even in ABSURD conditions, meaning remains the last and deepest human liberty.
    3. SELF-actualization is not indulgence—it is the search for what calls you forward.
    4. To BE is to be deliberately drawn by PURPOSE, even through suffering’s FIRE.
    5. Our quest is AFRICAN, COSMIC, intimate: to remember what makes us HUMAN.
    6. Reclaiming our WHY, we repossess the FUTURE stolen by despair and domination.
    7. Even ABSURDITY cannot crush a SOUL amicably aligned with its SACRED task.

  4. Through Suffering We Get Meaning
    1. Real HEALING does not erase pain, but transforms it through a deeper WHY.
    2. Even suffering can shine if it becomes testimony, resistance, and transformation.
    3. Suffering endured with purpose births character, wisdom, and unbreakable hope.
    4. To therapeutically transcend pain is not to flee it—but to shape it meaningfully.
    5. Our AFRICAN wounds hold seeds—of song, story, revolution, and resurrection.
    6. Refusing cries and victimhood, we become vessels of LIGHT carved by darkness.
    7. Even ABSURDITY kneels before a SOUL that sacredly suffers with PURPOSE.

  5. Opulent Love as Meaning
    1. Remember: even in horror, LOVE remains the deepest TRUTH we CARRY.
    2. Even absence cannot undo LOVE—it transcends time, touch, circumstance.
    3. SELFHOOD finds its merry mirror in the face of another SOUL seen deeply.
    4. To LOVE is to boldly bear witness to another’s DIGNITY without reduction.
    5. Our Renaissance forgets not tenderness—the power of SACRED relationships.
    6. Real revolutionary CHANGE includes compassion, not just strategy or power.
    7. Even ABSURDITY shatters when we hold one another with TRUTH and grace.

  6. Robust Future as Hope
    1. Rising is possible because tomorrow still CALLS—unknown, but pregnant with potential.
    2. Even now, amid chaos, HOPE celestially remains an affirmative act of radical DEFIANCE.
    3. SELF-actualization lives in HOPE—not false optimism, but earned vision for what might be.
    4. To intimately HOPE is to resist despair’s closure, to bouncily breathe possibility into ruins.
    5. Our therapeutic task is to imagine AFRICA BEYOND trauma—rooted, radiant, responsible.
    6. Remembering tomorrow, we draw substantial strength to factually face today with resolve.
    7. Even ABSURDITY retreats before the luminous light of a people refusing to just GIVE UP.

  7. Enter BEYONDISM and the Defiant Soul
    1. Rebirth laudably lies not in perfect systems, but in the human WILL to merrily mean.
    2. Even ABSURDITY must serve the soul that endures, creates, and rises BEYOND fate.
    3. SELFHOOD in BEYONDISM is not escape—it is return to ESSENCE with fond fire.
    4. To live with undaunted meaning is the most powerful revolt against chaos and nihilism.
    5. Our Renaissance demands that we become conscious bearers of SACRED peoplehood.
    6. Real FREEDOM is forged in fire—the burning boldness of saying YES to LIFE, still.
    7. Even ABSURDITY dies where meaning is chosen, and lived, with clarity and courage.

WELFARE in Cognitive Embodiment: Readiness, and African BEYONDISM

“When tools are repeatedly and fluently used, they can become quite literally transparent equipment—extensions of the body that are no longer noticed as tools.”
— UK philosopher of Mind and Cognitive Science Andy Clark (1957 – )

Clark emphasizes practical engagement over internal representations. He highlighted on how tools become seamless extensions of our minds and bodies. The above quote resonates strongly with Heidegger’s idea of ready-to-hand: when tools fade from conscious awareness and function as part of our bodily engagement with the world, revealing a practical understanding that is pre-reflective and embodied.

    4. Fluency MEANS the BODY SPEAKS, unshaken by fear or myth.
    5. African mastery lives in hands that sow and feet that dance beneath.

May you intimately immerse in the 6th THERAPEUTIC TRANSCENDENCE


Why is BEYONDISM effortlessly ECLECTIC, without being effetely ENIGMATIC?
Here is the 6th DIVINE DOSE to keenly keep your PSYCHE bounteously BOOSTED:

BEYONDISM thrives in therapeutic tension—between Old and New, Logic and Myth, Soul and Structure.
Overcoming false binaries, it fuses Science with Spirit, Ethics with Aesthetics, Tradition with Transcendence
Open yet felicitously focused, it does not decadently drift—it acutely anchors in the SACRED CALL to RISE.
SELF-actualization is its HEARTBEAT—thought must serve the SOUL’s flowering, not the intellect’s pride.
Thoughts are TOOLS, not IDOLS; they generously guide us toward ACTION, INSIGHT, and transformation.
ENLIGHTENMENT is not mimicry but MASTERY—owning the FIRE that once LIT our ancient ALTARS.
Deconstruction ends in reconstruction—each fragment REASSEMBLED to serve AFRICA’s luminous rebirth.

Our 6th Therapeutic Transcendence rolls out as spiced by Three Philosophers and Three Psychologists.

The 6th ONE Word (hover below) which Breeds SEVEN Words to Depict Who a BLESSED BEYONDIST Is:--->
Actual Fidel Remarkable Ingenious Conscious Adequate Noble

The 6th of SEVEN reasons why you should be PROUD to be an AFRICAN:

  1. Actually honouring everything that is uniquely real and potently positive in yourself.
  2. Fidelity in altering your attitudes, which is the springboard for altering your behavior.
  3. Remarkably unearthing the immanent reasons beneath surface manifestations of things.
  4. Ingeniously yielding not to what points towards humiliation, weakness and exhaustion.
  5. Consciously taking no idea or principle as fixed and practical in all circumstances.
  6. Adequately realizing the essential relativity and transiency of all ideals and values.
  7. Nobly and subtly cleansing yourself of all illusions for the flowering of inherent traits.

Readily Responding to the 6th BEYONDIST BELL

RUN swiftily! O gallant son or daughter of Africa.
Keep grinding! Stay persistent!
One day you will be exactly where you dreamed you would be.
Confidence is a gift, given to you by yourself.
To have it costs nothing; lack of it comes with a high price tag.
If you are not confident in what you do, then you will never be great.
It takes confidence in ALL you create in order to be the very best.

It was Nietzsche who exclaimed: “Laughing lions must come!”. Well, in as much as you have affluently approached REALITY, you will simultaneously have initiated the process of ardently annihilating DECADENCE - and with holy hilarity. The ‘Bloody Beast’ of our ‘Psychic Purge’ will soon be dead. And we will have killed it. This will manifestly be the greatest event in our African history and it is beginning to cast its first shadows over the continent. Do we need to switch on the PSYCHIC light-bulbs in the morning to see over the mist of Africa’s Darkness? Do we hear nothing as yet of the jubilant noises of gravediggers who are eagerly bracing themselves for the Divine task of burying this ‘Bloody Beast’?

1. Upon keeping others’ spirits in a joyful mood!

The accuracy, acuity and sharpness of our real percepts,
Shall permit us to cut through extraneous and misty issues,
And recognise the profitable, worthy, useful, and true ones.
We shall perceive the world according to Maslow (1970) as;
‘A room full of kinetic air, where everything is luminous parody’.
Our primary happiness shall be found in meaning in our work,
As the enjoyment of the fruits of our labour shall be secondary.

Verily, in this terrific, wild and thick forest of frustrations,
Whereby the subtle combination of all of our self-inflicted,
And external battering forces all threatening to suffocate us,
An AFRICAN RENAISSANCE is embedded within itself,
The inherent potential which shall categorically imbue in us,
A lovely view out in the sea of a bright and shining future.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

1 >

2. Declaring sensitivity to the needs of the moment!

We should cultivate that basic native instinct and intuition,
To spontaneously inform us regarding the right season;
When to boldly approach and when to avoid a stimulus;
When to be persistent in fighting and when to take a flight;
When to subdue as well as overcome and when to submit;
When to curiously move and when to doubtly stand still;
When to manipulate and when to sit and rest and sleep.

Verily, to take a broad and a comprehensive conception,
Of our history, of our society, our interests and our needs,
Is to come into terms with our fundamentally real essence,
Is to know our origin, our roots, where we are coming from.
And to have a compelling grasp of where we are headed to.
In a word, to justly proclaim an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

2 >

3. On affirming the supreme commandmanent of LOVE!

Separating, love-being-love arising from fullness of being,
From, love-deprived-love stemming from lack and need,
Happy is we who are heavy in our mountains of true love,
For subterranean humanity shall be our eternal enjoyment.
And the glittering wisdom shall be our everlasting harvest.
Love, is LIFE, and not a rhetorician’s poetic silly sermons.
Love is a wonderful syrup that keeps us divinely satisfied.

Verily, when the cups of our souls are full to the overflow,
We shall melt ourselves in exhilaration of love to others,
As we become the bridge where others shall be enabled,
To cross the broad river of down-troddenness and neglect,
As they develop the necessarily vital and essential faculties,
To facilitate the thriving of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

3 >

4. When being and becomimg grown up is non-negotiable!

Being and becoming our distinct independent selves,
Is the dedicated and confessed upon line of growth,
About which we should not tolerate or rather condone,
Even the least aberration, minor obstacle or impediment.
Any possibility of compromise should be thrown away,
And any suggestion at deviation, bending or corruption,
Should be frowned upon instantly and categorically.

Verily, the cravings of our conscience and consciousness,
Having been for so long saddened and bogged down,
By slavish dependencies and ill-fated depravations.
Having been conditioned to look at our worthiest hopes,
With ill-concealed amusements and bare satisfactions,
An AFRICAN RENAISSANCE shall be a new well-spring.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

4 >

5. On guarding our psychic bounderies from intruders!

We should be spontaneous, simple, real as well as natural.
Being free to be WHO WE ARE at any particular moment.
Being acutely aware of our feelings, thoughts and impulses.
Assuming an autonomous and individual code of ethics,
Based on fundamentally progressive values and ideals,
Rather than outmoded, outdated cultural prescriptions,
Which chain us to zero-grounds rather than to heroism.

Verily, redeeming ourselves from the yoke of past miseries,
And justifying the need for an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE,
Is to ascertain our will-to-live, which is our will-to-happiness.
With one swift, mighty swoop we have shaken off the dust,
Of a painful, though temporary virtual death of our society,
And jubilantly rise to the top-layer of the New World Order.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

5 >

6. In regard to churning contentment from within!

What find its way to our stomachs as well as our heads,
Inclusive of what gets into our hearts should be screened,
And anything suspected to be having poisonous elements,
Should be outrightly blacklisted and denied any entry visa,
And concentrate on maintaining that indestructible repose;
That harmonious composition of body, mind and heart,
Which is the celestial reserve and the crown of immortality.

Verily, when we become ardent disciples and proselytisers,
Of this perceptive gospel of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE,
God shall bless the cup of our ‘Existence’ to the ‘overflow’,
That, the viscous water of individual replenishment shall flow,
Golden out of it, and carry everywhere from north to south,
The true reflection of an awakened and conscious continent.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

6 >

7. On upgrading our belief systems for ever upward!

We who have been chained in the rock center of despair,
Where our hopes had been disintegrated and crushed,
In accordance with the provisions of ridiculous norms,
Of philosophy of paratology; of unquestioned obedience.
Obeying orders from above; from our invisible ancestors.
We who in tranquility of our poverty never knew our lack,
Are pregnant with positive stimulant of a fertile future.

Verily, coming forth from deep, dark, and steaming tunnel,
From hungry tunnel with rocky jaws and serpent tongues,
That sorely sucked our bone marrows and drunk our blood,
The tunnel’s end of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE is here.
The essence of our LIFE shall be encrusted to soar freely,
To be a gift to our beloved ones, our friends and siblings.
Blessed are we who pronounces the Greatness of our Times.

Numinous Note #6

Candidly considering ourselves as the real original firstlings,
Of a yet untried and basically not yet experienced future,
In the laud and clear manner of an African Renaissance,
We are aiming for new ends, which calls forth new means,
To effect such a thorough revolution upon our temperaments,
Until all the glorious traits, shall finally and intensively unfold.
Mobilising all our Psychic resources to do battle with Folly.

What MUST be our greatest goal?
With BEYONDISM we will be superior to justice, not only to our deeds, but also our critics.

You write the story of what you think is likely and/or possible based on what you believe is true and then you take actions consistent with those expectations. When you act on what you expect will happen before it actually happens, you participate in creating the experience. For example, if you do not have a positive self-concept and you fear rejection when you go on a date or go to a job interview, you are not likely to present your best self by acting calm and self-confident; you are likely to be anxious and act in a way that is more likely to result in rejection.

‘Something Inside So Strong’, by Kenny Rogers
Kenneth Donald ‘Kenny’ Rogers (August 21, 1938 - 2022),
Is a US singer-songwriter, photographer and record producer.
He is also a part time actor, good entrepreneur and an author.
This country song ‘Something inside so strong’ is a 1982 release.
There’s something inside so strong; I know that I can make it.
...........................though you are doing me wrong so wrong;
........................you thought that my pride was gone, oh no.


The higher you build your barrier
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter ‘cause there’s

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you’re doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There’s something inside so strong
Something inside so strong


The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind Walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place and time
You squander wealth that’s mine
My light will shine
So brightly it will blind you
Because there’s

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you’re doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There’s something inside so strong
Something inside so strong


Brothers and sisters
When they insist we’re just not good enough
Well we know better
Just look ‘em in the eye and say
We’re gonna do it anyway
We’re gonna do it anyway
We’re gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you’re doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
There’s something inside so strong
There’s something inside so strong
There’s something inside so strong

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you’re doing me wrong so wrong

IN THE HIGHEST PEAK on the refined layer of our consciousness, and upon the basest chambers on the bedrock of our consciences, as well as on the deepest wells of our souls, we weep when we contemplate of thee O AFRICA! O thee Motherland! The chilling disgust is becoming more and more unbearable as the days passes on, with our hearts tending to melt within us. Worry and strain are written in each of our faces, as bitterness and resentment threatens to occupy our every cell and nerve. Terrible as it is to die of thirst in the sea as its salty water cannot quench our thirst, we have salted the TRUTH of our human ‘existence’ in as far as our African situation is concerned. Consequently, our hearts are scornfully soured, our spirits firmly fettered as our aspirations are dangerously dislocated by illusory ideologies and dehumanising dogmas. Forthwith, in our poisoned percepts, little nourishing can be squeezed from our society, and therefore, we are dying of thirst.--->

All grumbling, whining and complaining aside, the most important thing here, is to first analyse and understand our African undoings, or problems before striving to get solutions or answers. In one of his essays, English writer Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936), wrote: “Father Brown laid down his cigar and said, carefully; ‘it is not that they cannot see the solution; it is that they cannot see the problem’”. As British philosopher George Edward Moore (1873 - 1958) comprehensively put it: “It appears to me that Ethics… the difficulties and disagreements, of which its history is full, are mainly due to a very simple cause: namely to the attempt to answer questions, without first discovering precisely what question it is which you desire to answer.” “You know that, medicine when well used will restore health to the sick: they will be well used when the doctor together with his understanding of their nature shall understand also what man is, what life is, and what constitution and health are. Know these well and you will know their opposites; and when this is the case you will know well how to devise a remedy”, thus noted Florentine artist Leonardo da Vinci (1452 - 1519).


“The future, gentlemen, is the faith of our age: it is the torch of the past, the guiding star of the present.”
- French writer and historian Jean-Jaques Ampère (1800 - 1864)

“No cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”
- German-born U.S. philosopher and historian Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975)

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our minds.”
- Jamaican musician, singer, and songwriter Bob Marley (1945 - 1981)



Imagination...is the irrepressible revolutionist.
Failing is good as long as it does not become a habit.
Possibly the greatest failure is to be overrun by our failures.
And yet somehow declare that the failures evidence the value of what we continue to fail at.
Why then is an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE necessary,
At this particular juncture in our unique historical evolution?
Here are SEVEN REAL REASONS as duly discerned by BEYONDISM:
--->


Repulsive as it may seem at the outset, Africa is like a house hidden away in the depths of the valleys, where the sun never penetrates. It is a gloomy dwelling permeated by numbing chill, ever fireless, ever shrouded--->

in thick darkness. The sanctuaries of our minds seems to be cramped and beaten down by cowardice, ignorance and superstitions. Our paths seems to be strewn not with positive stimulants, but negative aberrations, as the continent continues to single itself out as the ‘sick man’ of the world, a ‘laughing stock’ of human race, and a ‘painful embarrassment’ to mankind. A sizeable number of Africans have come out as infernal ‘cursed creatures’. Majority of us Africans have become every more and more abominable, as the days passes on, always wearing the slavish chain, deprived of all created possible bliss, and languishing through hardship, toil and pain.

Ennervated thus, we lack the creative resources to exploit our immense natural resources. We have thus disdainfully paved way for the people of other continents to exploit our resources benefiting nobody but themselves. --->

We have become like a shameless beggar with a begging bowl, and sitting on a bag full of foodstuffs. We have portrayed ourselves as a provisional backwater contemptuously left behind by the swift flux of events, always at the ebb of the tide of world affairs. Much of what defines us is poverty, dirt and a miserable ease. Being victims of chronic indecisiveness, we do want to get somewhere, but unsure what to do once we get there. Restless with our heads turned backward, we can not keep still and contemplate our present situation for any length of time. As a result, we keep jumping from issue to issue, groping in the dark, never arriving at a meaningful conclusion. We are very good at skirting around facts, and eventually ducking them altogether with no answer.

As a matter of fact, compared to modern Civilisations the world over, the current African Civilisation is what a pencil sketch is to coloured painting. It lacks that variety, that amplitude, that abundance of LIFE which is --->

the condition of perfectibility. Possessing very minimal fecundity (creative productivity), having attained only the most mediocre virility (potency for novel ideas), we have failed to achieve maturity, towards the fullest flowering of our potentials. Those vital ‘psychic inner forces’, freed of tradition and convention, vital in influencing conduct and shaping character have not yet been fully utilised. Without those inner strengths, many individuals lack an autonomous inner core as counterbalance in facing the NEW WORLD, with very few amongst us daring to defy tradition and stand alone.

Stripping ourselves of steadfastness of personal freedom (which was the instrument of Western Progress, as triggered by the era of Enlightenment), is our dacadent delight. We have created a static, frozen kind of--->

society, sunk in the degrading LIFE of mere custom. We have portrayed ourselves as a people incapable of movement and evolution, as we are caught in a process of virtual circular development. Disgusting as it is to swallow, the bitter pill of our situation is that, our African society remains poor amidst the increase in world wealth, as well as pale amidst the global meteoric improvement in luxury. Our material privation dwarfs our moral, as well as our psychical stature. At the very outset, we are plunged into the thorny center of two worlds; one dying, the other hardly born. The words of Nigerian poet Christopher Okigbo (1930 - 1967) in Limits (1964) seems to be very inspiring:

And this is the crisis point
The twilight moment between
Sleep and waking;
And the voice that is reborn transpires,
Not through pores in the flesh
But the soul’s backbone.

On a deeper analysis, we trend upon the enigmatic world below on our shaky legs, with our blurred vision focused on the incredible heaven above, almost naked of supernatural creeds. We are devoid of a general theological --->

predilection, a persuasive ideological conviction, a comprehensive philosophical outlook and an enduring transmitted moral code. In The Second Round (1966) Gambian poet Lenrie Peters (1932 - 2009) depicts our situation thus:

The trouble with our African society into which we are struggling like roosting hen is perpetual weightlessness. Not light enough to take wings and soar, but at the same time not heavy enough to settle on any firm foundation. A people at the middle way; the turning point, who cannot see round the corner, hovering like evil ghosts and restless enough to be confused.

Now more than ever, most (NOT ALL) of our leaders, dishonoured by contempt of all virtue, defiled by their practice of every vice, are a factious crew and enemies to all good governance. They are simply allergic to --->

economic progress. They are a pack of mercenary wrenches, and would like Esau sell their country for a ‘mess of pottage’, and like Judas betray their Teacher for a ‘thirty pieces of silver’. Having battered their consciences for bribes, they have no religion left and gold (money) is their God. Forthwith, most (NOT ALL) of our older societal members who may be referred to as intellectuals have contributed in one way or the other to our societal sorrow. With these profuse pretenders who have succeeded in attacking the disease of our ailing society, with diagnoses which are as empty as they are fanciful, and with violently counteracting specifics, this is the direst retribution that can befall any society. Indeed, for these men and women who have failed in all aspects of mentoring our young minds, there is further danger that, precisely in the multiplicity (or mediocrity?) of their knowledge, they lose sight of what is essential. Their minds lacking in either conviction or conscience, are in sarcastic words of U.S. novelist and playwright Irving Stone (1903 - 1989): “Like a soup dish, wide and shallow; it could hold a small amount of nearly anything, but the slightest jarring spilled the soup into somebody’s lap”. In Love Labor’s Lost (1598) Shakespeare exposes the nakedness of this kind of futile knowledge:

Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain
Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain.
As painfully to pore upon a book
To seek the light of truth, while truth
Doth falsily blind the eyesight of his look.
Light, seeking light, doth of light beguile
So, are you find where light in darkness lies,
Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.
Study is like the heaven’s glorious Sun,
That will not be deep scorched with saucy looks.
Small have continual plodders ever won,
Save base authority from others books.

Sorrowfully speaking, having sunk at the lowest bottom of decadence in regard to the general level of Civilisations attained by other societies in the modern world, we have tried to justify our wretchedness.--->

This we have achieved by falsely trying to persuade ourselves with illusory self-preservative measures, anxiety reducing defense mechanisms and security operations. We have sunk in a deep state of denial that, everything seems to be a FILTHY FALLACY:

  1. Fastened in our rogue stereotypes, our limitations are our visions.
  2. Assimilating little in our minds, our observances are our dexterities.
  3. Living in the grooves of cowardice, our timidities are our good taste.
  4. Lacking in the essential flexibility, our inhibitions are our missions.
  5. Accustomed to obsolete values, our rigidities are our festivities.
  6. Confused in our basic ideals, our superstitions are our nourishments.
  7. Yielding to the yoke of the past, our traditions are our comforts.


An insatiable appetite to grow BEYOND our means is our only launching pad. (The higher the intensity, the better!) This must be done while demanding world bodies such as World Bank and United Nations to honour promises of assistance, and for the mere fact that it cannot afford involvement and will have to look at other alternatives to address inter and intra-state conflict.

The impact of globalization (the linking of the world through technology, competition for resources, the disappearance of borders and the changing of levels of influence and decision-making) and its impact on the economic, political and cultural spheres of society, are further factors that must be considered. Leaders appear not to notice the pervasive influence of the West and China in Africa’s economies and in African economic policy-making as a fundamentally undesirable obstacle to the continent’s ability to forge its own economic identity.

It is unfortunate that state corporations are sold to foreigners and are managed by non-Africans. This signals a resignation by Africa’s leaders to the idea that, despite many words to the contrary, Africans are not capable, in the foreseeable future, of running their countries’ economies, nor of being able to master modern technology and management, and the new African leaders no longer see the state as an important vehicle for bringing about socio-economic change on the continent.

Further factors that compound Africa’s dilemma are the phenomena referred to as “Africa fatigue” and “Afro-pessimism”. Although the two concepts are inter-related, the concept of “Africa fatigue” refers to a global perception that Africa has lost its strategic value after the end of the Cold War and due to its high volatility, non-development, corruption, discrimination and conflict potential, also its potential for involvement and investment by the world’s donor community.

“Afro-pessimism”, in turn, relates to sub-Saharan Africa’s seemingly inability to contain its regional conflicts and resulting refugee crises. It also refers to its lack of will to do something about its appalling systems of governance and approach to human rights, its huge poverty-problem, debt and dependence on charity, its ailing infrastructures and the quality of life of all its peoples, including the spread of HIV/AIDS.

The perceptions of Africa fatigue and Afro-pessimism has made clear that Africa will in future have to fend for itself. This calls for Africa to wake up and sort itself out in the problems and conflicts. Listen to U.S. novelist and journalist Norman Mailer (1923 - 2007): “Growth is a greater mystery than death. All of us can understand failure, we all contain failure and death within us, but not even the successful man can begin to describe the impalpable elations and apprehensions of growth.”


Unlike the grass in the house top which withers before it grows up, the fact that some misfortunes have affected us, does not mean we should poison our present and our future with despair, and give in to the virtual darkness engulfing us. Upon the ruins of our shattered past, and disgusting present, there is an ever possibility flowing through our nerves that we can lay a firm foundation for a bright and promising future.

The African RENAISSANCE is the IDEAL that African people and nations shall overcome the current challenges confronting the continent and achieve cultural, scientific, and economic renewal. The African RENAISSANCE concept was first articulated by Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and politician Cheikh Anta Diop (1923 – 1986) who wrote a series of essays as a student from 1946 to 1960, charting the development of Africa. The essays, which are seen as a form of blueprint, are collected in book form as Towards the African Renaissance: Essays in Culture and Development, 1946 - 1960.

This concept has been further popularized by former South African President Thabo Mbeki during his term of office, and it continues to be a key part of the post-apartheid intellectual agenda. In the famous speech “I am an African” in May 1996, following the adoption of a new constitution, Mbeki affirmed:

I am born of a people who are heroes and heroines... Patient because history is on their side, these masses do not despair because today the weather is bad. Nor do they turn triumphalist when, tomorrow, the sun shines... Whatever the circumstances they have lived through and because of that experience, they are determined to define for themselves who they are and who they should be.

“Every little thing gonna be alright!” so sung Jamaican Reggae Musician Bob Marley (1945 - 1981). In the midst of various unfortunate encounters, all is not burned and consumed to ashes! And the little that is in ash form, we still have the potential to rebuild and get beauty from it. We have found ourselves in a non-negotiable point of seeking sweeping, but opulently outlined answers to our dilemma. The chief assignment of this uncertain, amorphous and tense generation, is to rebuild everything as if we had been cast into the wilderness, and forced to begin everything a new. It should dawn upon us as an imperative necessity, to take our own case in hand; for we cannot rely on others (foreigners) for remedy.

In other words, our African LIFE may not be a bed of roses, but it is neither a road full of thorns and invested with vampires. It is a great consolation to note that, the lamentable failures in our society are not due to absolute shrinking of our inherent vitality, to the complete exhaustion of energies of our people, or to the total depravity of our people. It springs primarily from defects which can be removed; from failures of understanding on the dynamics of Human Nature, as well as the paradoxes inherent in the human situation.

There is therefore, no lack of means out of this predicament. There is only lethargy in bringing to the fore our vitality towards LIFE. As human nature is forever gripped in the process of perpetual becoming, forever confronted by the challenge of choosing our moral values in the process of living, the CHOICE and RESPONSIBILITY squarely lies in our HANDS. If we may work through LIFE’s obstacles, we are apt to attain a better, stronger personality.

In human history, every new social system arises by incorporating the material and cultural values created over preceding epochs. “No social order ever disappears”, German political philosopher Karl Marx (1818 - 1883) reasoned, “before all the productive forces for which there is room in it have been developed, and new, higher relations of production, never appear before the material conditions for their existence have matured in the womb of the old society.” In the same vein British philosopher Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) declared: “Progress is not an accident, not a thing within human control, but a beneficial necessity.”

A scientific conception of civilisation, based as it is on the idea of progress rest on the ideal of increasing control of environment by LIFE. By environment we mean all the circumstances that condition the co-ordination and realisation of desire. Progress therefore, is the domination of chaos by mind and purpose, of matter by form and will. A fundamental factor here is the unprecedented increase in people’s knowledge, permitting them to have control over their natural and social environment. In the words of American political scientist Marion J. Levy: “The greater the ratio of inanimate to animate sources of power and the greater the multiplication of effort as the effect of application of tools, the greater the degree of modernisation.”

Our conception of Civilisation, Progress and Modernisation in the context of Globalisation, entails setting free the faculties which are crucial to our material and cultural progress on earth, triggering a process of LOCATING our peoples’ BEARING, so that they may ACTUALISE their POTENTIAL. And therefore BEYONDISM’s deftly distilled definition runs:

CIVILISATION is the sum total of the general societal ACTUALISATION of its POTENTIALS, in every sphere of its peoples ACTIONS and from every point of view, in so far as this PROGRESS helps towards utilisation of all TECHNOLOGICAL, as well as CULTURAL achievements attained and attainable at a particular point in the history of its EVOLUTION.

It was British writer, painter and musician Samuel Butler (1832 - 1902) who theorized: “All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live BEYOND its income”. Solid and sustainable success of any socio-political system, is a function of its integrative, responsive and adaptive capacity. This is coupled by an inexorable tendency toward greater differentiation, as the division of labour and specialisation of tasks becomes more widespread. This fundamentally forms the basis of CIVILISATION. But what is civilisation in the first instance? American philosopher and historian Will Durant (1885 - 1981) offers his most distinguished definition: “Civilisation is a complex of security and culture, of order and liberty: political security through morals and laws; economic security through the continuity of production and exchange; culture through facilities for growth and transmission of knowledge, manners and arts.”

“Civilisations die from suicide, not by murder,” so taught British historian Arnold Toynbee (1881 - 1975). Wisdom borne out of historical empiricism informs us that, the inability of any civilisation to thrive and to survive, is the result of its failure to respond to the economic, political and religious challenges of its time. A just and a progressive system of any social organisation is therefore stable, only if its shock absorbers are well greased, flexible and responsive enough. Unless the catalysts are powerful BEYOND reasonable limits to shake its very foundation, it will always tend to right and realign itself and return to its center. But feeling of discontent and waves of violence resonates in the unjust system. The vibration of its excited molecules, pass the disturbance with ever-growing levels of energy, towards an uncontrollable disintegrative level of a possible self-extinction.

A historical conception of civilisation and progress stems from the fact that, nature and the world around us are not in a state of repose and immutability, stagnation and immobility, but in a state of constant movement and change, or constant rejuvenation and development. Development accordingly, is the movement from the lower to the higher, from the simple to the complicated. This unfolds through absorption of the achievements of preceding stage, with a simultaneity standing forth as something profounder and richer in substance. It is an uneven revolutionary process, which proceeds not within a closed circle, but along a spiral, each coil of which is deeper, richer and more varied than the previous one.

“The question tonight, as I understand it, is ‘The Negro Revolt, and Where Do We Go From Here?’ or ‘What Next?’ In my little humble way of understanding it, it points toward either the ballot or the bullet.”
- U.S. African American activist Malcolm X (1925 - 1965)

“The great battleground for the defense and expansion of freedom today is the whole southern half of the globe...Their revolution is the greatest in human history. They seek an end to injustice, tyranny, and exploitation. More than an end, they seek a beginning.”
- U.S. president John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917 - 1963)

“It seems to be the inevitable outcome for man never to be entirely free: everywhere princes head towards despotism, and the people towards servitude.”
- French revolutionary politician and journalist Jean Paul Marat (1743 - 1793)



Beginning reform is beginning revolution.
Freedom is always and exclusively the freedom for the one who thinks differently.
The dagger plunged in the name of Freedom is plunged into the breast of Freedom.
All weapons are justifiable in the noble struggle against the terrible curse of meaninglessness.
Hard times create strong characters, while bold personalities create thriving times.
Good times create weak individuals, while fragile human beings create difficult times.
Here is the OVERALL ORDER which therapeautically triggers the onset of BEYONDISM:
--->


i. ONE Spanish-Arab scholar Ibn Khaldun, full name Abu Zayd Abd-Ar-Rahman Ibn Khaldun (1332 - 1406), is the greatest of the medieval Islamic historians. He intuited that, social change, and the rise and fall of--->


societies, follow laws that can be empirically discovered. He formulated the theory that, history seems to move in four acts, corresponding to four generations. The first generation is that of the revolutionaries who make a radical break with the past, establishing new values but also creating some chaos in the struggle to do so. Often in this generation there are some great leaders or prophets who influence the direction of the revolution and leave their stamp on it.


ii. VEERING towards the center, is the emergence of a second generation that craves some order. They are still feeling the heat of the revolution itself, having lived through it at a very early age. But they want to --->


stabilise the world, establish some conventions and dogma. Those of the third generation — having little direct connection to the founders of the revolution — feel less passionate about it. They are pragmatists. They want to solve problems and make LIFE as comfortable as possible. They are not so interested in ideas but rather in building things. In the process, they tend to drain out the spirit of the original revolution. Material concerns predominate, and people can become quite individualistic.



iii. EVENTUALLY a gnawing sense of stagnation sinks in. Along comes the fourth generation, which feels that society has lost its vitality, but they are not sure what should replace it. They begin to question the--->


values they have inherited, some becoming quite cynical. Nobody knows what to believe in anymore. A crisis of sorts emerges. Then comes the revolutionary generation, which, unified around some new belief, finally tears down the old order, and the cycle continues. This revolution can be extreme and violent, or it can be less intense, with simply the emergence of new and different values.


iv. REALLY, although this pattern certainly has variations and is not a science, we tend to see a lot of the overall sequencing in history. Most notable of all is the emergence of the fourth generation and the crisis in --->

values that comes with it. This period is often the most painful to live through — we humans feel a deep need to believe in something, and when we begin to doubt and question the old order and sense a vacuum in our values, we can go a little mad. We tend to latch onto the latest belief systems peddled by the charlatans and demagogues who thrive in such periods. We look for scapegoats for all the problems that now arise and the spreading dissatisfaction. Without a unifying belief to anchor and calm us, we become tribal, relying on some small affinity group to give us a feeling of belonging.


v. ALL the times, in a crisis period, we will notice the forming of a sub-group among those who feel particularly anxious and resentful at the breakdown of order. They are often people who felt somewhat privileged --->

in the past, and the chaos and coming change threatens what they have taken for granted. They want to hold on to the past, return to some golden age they can vaguely remember, and prevent any coming revolution. They are doomed, because the cycle cannot be stopped, and the past cannot be magically brought back to LIFE. But as this crisis period fades and begins to merge into the revolutionary period, we often detect rising levels of excitement, as those who are young and particularly hungry for something new can sense the changes coming that they have set up in their own way.


vi. LIVING through such a crisis period, is our PRESENT CONDEMNATION. Ours is a generation that is experiencing it in its key phase in LIFE. Although we cannot see how close we might be to the end of --->

this period, such times never last too long, because the human spirit will not tolerate them. With BEYONDISM serving as the end of a gestation period of a unifying belief system, some new values are being generated that only the CONSCIOUS CHARACTERS can see. If you feel you have a sense of a personal mission — to serve mankind (and Africa in particular), to contribute toward its progress, you should appreciate the real groundbreaking change under way. If you are ferociously diligent and hard on yourself, although your interests should range far and wide, when you attack a particular problem, it will be with complete focus. Impelled by this inner authority, you will push BEYOND the obstacles that LIFE places in your path.


vii. LUCIDLY learning about the TIMES, and with your awareness of the overall ZEITGEIST (spirit of the Times), you will also understand the historical context. You will have a sense of where the continent is headed. --->

You can anticipate what is around the corner (the looming African Renaissance). With such knowledge, you can bring your own individual spirit into play and help shape this future that is gestating in the present. Feeling deeply connected to the unbroken chain of history, and your role in this grand historical drama, will infuse you with a calmness that will make everything in LIFE more bearable. You do not overreact at the outrage of the day. You do not go gaga over the latest trend. You are aware of the pattern that will tend to swing things in a different direction within a period of time. If you feel out of harmony with the times, you know that the bad days will end and you can play your part in making the next wave happen.



Acknowledging the ‘transient nature of error’ and appreciating the ‘eternity of genius and virtue’, you will be disgusted with all vanity and uselessness. Classically aspiring only for what is good and made to last long, you will be a warrior who knows no defeat owing to your persistence, perseverance and an inflexible WILL. Impatient at all the oppression that are done under the Sun, you will be an all-powerful homo sapien, leaving fire in your wake, as you move from conquest to conquest, towards being a homo magiste (Man the Master). Yes! From the center (Sahara) to the Oceans (Indian and Pacific). Hurrah! Africa’s Prosperity! So affirms BEYONDISM.

I. What PERCENTAGE defines the forces that militate against an African RENAISSANCE?

  • COUNSELLORS
  • TEACHERS
  • ELDERS
  • ADMINISTRATORS
  • PARENTS
  • FAMILIES
  • PRISONS
  • *******

#1. A Potent Percentage of our Counselling services, are invested by charlatans, who confuses giving advise, with facilitating a conducive psychological environment, for the client to generate solution to his or her maladjustment.

Hence the myriad malaise stunting our growth.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Counselling is NOT advising: telling the other person what TO DO or NOT.
Counselling is NOT directing, leading, JUDGING, evaluating or diagnosing.
It is NOT moralising, PREACHING, patronising, labelling, or interrogating.
It is NOT giving unwarranted reassurance, or accepting the client’s feelings.
Counselling is concerned WITH addressing and resolving specific problems.
It helps the client to make decisions, cope with crisis, work through feelings.
The aim of counselling is to help a client to live a more full, satisfying LIFE.

#2. A Potent Percentage of our Teachers in ignorance of student’s needs, fail to arouse in the young minds a sense of success, MASTERY, curiousity, understanding, originality, self-expression and relationships.

Hence the loathsome lethargy amongst our young scholars.

Students working together and helping one another, promotes self-evaluation of ability.
This guarantees higher academic attainments than do individualistic or competitive ones.
Students should be helped to establish specific, attainable, challenging short-term goals.
Performance in and out of class must be compared to the goals set for a specific student.
Comparing one student against another, or to the rest of the class should be discouraged.
Self-efficacy is the key to academic success, other activities and peace within the student.

#3. A Potent Percentage of our Elders are incompetent in arming youths with the requisite energy to deal with complexity, confusion, repetition, uncertainties and ambiguities of daily LIFE.

Hence the low level of the drive towards SELF-ACTUALISATION.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Elders should do all they can, and provide youths with tools to be better than them.
Should be heroes who teach lessons, enhance active and positive emotional interaction.
Should teach youths to understand face reading and differentiate various emotional states.
Avoid instilling fear or ridicule which results in youngsters with inadequate ‘conscience’.
Be nonrestrictive, open, appreciative; lead by example, and be unconditionally accepting.
Inculcate competence, adventurousness, skills and confidence in expressing opinions.
Be loyal, pillars of strength, support and discipline, in order to raise well-adjusted youths.

#4. A Potent Percentage of our Administrators are unable to build the necessary motivation and engagement that is essential for removal of all scrupples, to enable a complete and productive LIFE (either for the individual or society).

Hence the daunting detachment amongst our people.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Administration ought to be focused on benefit, protection and security of the people.
The best one is which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety.
Administrations must be built upon the rights of the people, and be entrusted to experts.
The only yardstick by which to test every major problem is: Is it good for the people?
No administration can be progressive when the future sits in the judgment of the past.
Ability to solve and deal with problems as they arise is the only measure of distinction.
Officials must be held accountable as dupes, fools, or traitors for policies that goes wrong.

#5. A Potent Percentage of our Parents use punishments which produce bitter children and unconsciously condition them to use the same mechanistic and counterproductive methods on those who may anger them.

Hence the raft rebellion amongst our adolescents.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
‘Poor Parenthood’ fails to differentiate between ‘discipline’ and ‘punishment’.
Punishment creates fear, but if the fear is diminished the behaviour will recur.
Beating is for lazy parents as it takes less creativity; needs only anger and strength.
The word ‘beat’ implies that you are dealing with an object which does not think.
Children require sound discipline which has two components; affection and control.
Control needs to be consistent if it is to contribute to a stable character structure.
Discipline as an important element in affection is fondly based on mutual respect.

#6. A Potent Percentage of our Families authoritatively imposes their convictions and ideals (though positive in their view) devoid of unconditional positive regard, empathy and consultation.

Hence the mounting meaninglessness of our interactions.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
To draw honesty from our kids, we must be honest ourselves, even when it hurts.
Barking to these little evolving creatures rather than softly talking to them, is lethal.
We tend to use strong, emotionally charged language when under great provocation.
This is to set up in them, for unconscious imitation, the memory of violent speech.
If we want children to be polite, we have to be polite; to be neat we have to be neat.
Positive responses can be inculcated to children only by ‘patiently persistent’ example.
This task involves almost the re-education, re-phasing and re-evaluation of our motives.

#7. A Potent Percentage of our Correctional Institutions (Prisons) have become colleges where minor delinquents graduates into hardcore criminals, or in one way or the other, vacation resorts for social outcast and psychopaths.

Hence the compounded crimes in our society.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
All sorts of CRIMINALISM cannot be controlled simply by imposing harsh legal penalties.
DEVIANCY implies some kind of DEPRIVATION within the home or social environment.
Rather than stigmatising victims as social misfits who should be subjected to incarceration,
We should put them in environments where their DEFICIENCIES can be compensated for.
We should embark on a large scale to prevent criminogenic situation from developing.
By building in the society, services classified in the medical sphere as ‘good sanitation’.
This is by creating a more just society in which people connect with each other humanly.















2. What is the RATION of the factors that stands against an African RENAISSANCE?

  • EDUCATION
  • INTELLECTUALS
  • SCHOLARS
  • RESEARCHERS
  • SCIENCE
  • INDUSTRIES
  • HISTORY
  • *******

#1. A Reasonable Ration of our Education is a painful accumulation of data and dates, in ignorance of developing individual potential capacities for the comprehension, control and appreciation of the world.

Hence the dire dumbness amongst our learners.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Assigning to education narrow goals whose objective is absorption in the job market is deathly.
This only moulds CONSUMPTIVE members of society, as opposed to productive members.
By solely focusing on the grades, education becomes stressful, especially to younger students.
It is also self-defeatist since not all learners will really have the same ample academic abilities.
Most of our schools have only succeeded in an unprecedented spread of science without wisdom.
Accumulating knowledge without intelligence, cleverness without conscience is our unbecoming.
Not sensibility and creativity, but a mechanical adaptation to the environment, is what is taught.

#2. A Reasonable Ration of our Intellectualism is a hotchpotch and collection of long-dead fossils, with very little to contribute to the world pool of knowledge and very little new to offer in regard to the ‘Spirit of Age’.

Hence the disturbing dislocation from present imperatives.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Though the world has changed, our educational curriculum has not or has little changed.
It remotely or flatly fails to keep pace with all the rapid global and technological changes.
Students spend many study years preparing for a world that is obsolete or no longer exists.
Our learning system places more emphasis on the transmission of a heritage of knowledge.
And less on the capacity for innovation, adjustment and a taste for constantly renewed study.
It is a system lacking in the dynamic content and an incessant ability to assimilate changes.
It lacks that supposedly inherent potential for active, intelligent and scientific spirit of inquiry.

#3. A Reasonable Ration of our Scholars lacking the essential intellectual curiousity and thirst, fall short of separating facts from theory, or conjectured ideas from practical and realistic ones.

Hence the bare blindness of our academicians.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The standard limit for human capacity should not be set by education curriculum.
It should take into consideration a person’s genetic make-up, and temperaments.
The drill-and-kill teaching styles MUST be replaced by a problem-based approach.
The educational system, should develop all the potentials to be of use in adulthood.
It should have the unique capacity to broaden the imaginative terrain of the student.
In this way learners will have a thorough reflective and interrogative view of the world.
In adulthood they will see for themselves more clearly from a range of perspectives.

#4. A Reasonable Ration of our Researchers lost in myopic speculation fails to understand the essence of any problem by being unable to observe its beginnings and its development.

Hence the enervating emptiness in our innovations.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Research as a function of development, means investigation into new or improved products:
In business and industry, improving processes and services and of developing new ones.
It is a rebuilding of industries, farming methods, companies, universities and laboratories.
It is advancing the frontiers of scientific knowledge, to sustain the present mode of production.
The most gratifying research worth its name, starts by picturing what the products will be.
And then diligently ask: what technology should we be working on today to help us get there?
It is to reduce the cost of production, and then minimise the price of buying for the consumers.

#5. A Reasonable Ration of our Science, is so rudimentary and pedestrian that, in the crippleness of our creativity, defenses against the inclemency of weather and food self-sufficiency remains pathetically deficient.

Hence the constant calamities bedevilling us.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The fastness to which situations are changing at times outpaces the former acquired knowledge.
This includes the experience accumulated in the past to serve as guidance for the future actions.
The ‘Old World’ was stable as the upheavals of history were ebb and flow of a changeless sea.
In today’s ‘New World’, the value formerly attributed to experience gained has been shifted,
To handling an enormous amount of information efficiently, and applying them effectively.
Thus, the current, as well as the future mode of academic research requires a two-fold possibility:
Of accumulating the maximum amount of data, and of processing them in a real-time manner.

#6. A Reasonable Ration of our Industrialisation, has become not substitution of brawn for brain towards mass-production, but a daily toil where people are herded together in factories and farms with very little pay.

Hence the prosaic production in our factories.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The speed of technological innovation is bringing qualitative change now and then.
In this era of IT Revolution it is apparent that in most dynamic branches of industry,
Acquired scientific information soon lags behind the current stage reached in technology.
It becomes necessary for one to be re-trained, or re-educated, through refresher courses;
If one wishes to keep up with the changes, adjust way of thinking and method of analysis.
We should appreciate the quickness in which knowledge becomes easily challengeable.
This precipitates the imperativeness of inventing our own new motions and their regulation.

#7. A Reasonable Ration of our History, is characterised by darkness, with its hysteric reaction to light (rejection of new ideas) which in our myopic rigidity we perceive to be offensive, without any justifiable reason.

Hence the reactionary reasons for Africa’s underdevelopment.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
It is said that, if one does not know one’s history, one will remain blind of one’s destiny.
This is to mean that, what you are now and what you will be, is informed by what you were.
To know yourself without any denial, will go far in charting for yourself a bright future.
However, do not stagnate in what happened in the past, and fail to make a solid step forward.
Many of the past African traditions, cannot and will not simply work in the modern ‘Times’.
And if we are to remain blindly true to the mode of valuations and thinking of our forefathers,
We will remain irresponsive to the demands of the moment; we will live a stagnant ‘existence’.















3. How is the nature of the CONTENT that blurs the vision of an African RENAISSANCE?

  • ART INDUSTRY
  • THEOLOGIES
  • PHILOSOPHIES
  • MORALITY
  • ETHICS
  • CULTURE
  • ANCESTRAL
  • *******

#1. A Critical Content of our Art Industry, is full of decaying debris, with the matter-of-fact credibility gone clean out of them; devoid of any aesthetic dose of awakening the soul, and keeping it refreshed and energised.

Hence the arid awkwardness in our tastes.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Senility is basically looking back with nostalgia; it is lack of inspiration in LIFE.
The function of real art, is to restimulate inspirations and awaken sensibilities.
Good art, is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
A great work of art, bears its meaning on its face; it is what it is and what it has.
Any authentic work of art, starts an argument between the artist and the audience.
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of its creator go together.
True art, is a thing greater and fairer than whatever may exist in the external world.

#2. A Critical Content of our Theologies, are empty soothsayings, accompanied by idolatrous rites, impotent in radiating spiritual truths, vital in making us happy in this world, and to be blissful in the LIFE BEYOND the grave.

Hence the filthy faithlessness in our preachers.
Therapeautic Tool to armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
To appreciate the mystery inherent in the incomprehensible phenomenal order of Nature,
And initiate a dedicated and perpetual effort to be showered by this encompassing beauty,
To feel a sincere enriching relation and an intimate connection with the great world forces,
As a manifestation of GOD’s infinite creativity, is the key element to being RELIGIOUS.
To comprehend our GOD-endowed potentials and to perpetually strive to actualise them,
Transcending all the seemingly deceptive limitations of our social or natural environment,
Is the essential and supreme mark of being GODLY; in a word, our God-Consciousness.

#3. A Critical Content of our Philosophies imprisoned in logical futilities and conceptualisations, is intended at contradicting and confuting others rather than a suitable survival strategy to be won in the service of the individual.

Hence the fanatical fancies in our purported thinkers.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
A logician is a blind person in a dark room, looking for a black hat which is not there.
To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralysed by hesitation,
Is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can do for those who study it.
Philosophy is clearly seeing World in a Grain of Sand, and Heaven in a Wild Flower.
Philosophy is tightly holding Infinity in the palm of your hand, and Eternity in an hour.
Of course! The path to Heaven does not lie down in flat miles. It is in the imagination,
With which you perceive this World, and the gestures with which you truly honours it.

#4. A Critical Content of our Morality, is outmoded, as it reproaches us with the infidelity and shabbiness of failing to absorb the transiency and relativity of values, by only lionising the past without a fertile future view.

Hence the rasp rottenness in our valuations.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Without doubt, the greatest philosophical injury was done by basing morals on myth.
For sooner or later, myth is recognised for what it is, and it is exposed, it just disappears.
Then morality loses the foundation on which it has been built, and it becomes a sham.
Ethical behaviour should be based on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs -
No religious basis is necessary (sanctions imposed by religion soon becomes a mirage).
Humans would be in a poor way if they had to be restrained by fear of punishment,
And hope of reward after death, or walking blissfully in the golden streets of Heaven.

#5. A Critical Content of our Ethics, is a manifestation of the highest level of hypocrisy, owing to the fact that, in the present curse-like bastardisation of our natural vital instincts, it is impossible if not inhuman to bless.

Hence the drab directionless in our actions.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Of all the horrid, hideous notes of woe, sadder than owl-songs or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase pathetically used by all moral luminaries, ‘I told you so.’
Labour to keep alive in your heart, that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.
Act in such a way as to secure the enduring love and affection of your neighbour.
Seek to have a virtue to shape your LIFE, amid the powers and chances of the world.
To be a BEYONDIST is to be a combatant, a politician, a prophet, a moral teacher.
To affirm like Martin Luther: “Here stand I. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.”

#6. A Critical Content of our Culture does not have within it mechanisms for survival, and its general spirit does not allow for the utmost individual search for oneself, as a veritable vehicle towards self-actualisation.

Hence the hideous haemorrhage of our society
Therapeautic Tool to armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
‘Culture’ is simply how one lives on a daily basis, and is connected to history by habit.
Culture is the passion for sweetness and light, and the passion for making them prevail.
Culture is acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world.
Its progressiveness is the measure of synchronising with the history of the human spirit.
Its aim is to reckon the possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of LIFE.
The primary function of a retrogressive ritual, religion and culture is almost to stop change.
A vital and living tradition today, precisely provides the basic instruments of rapid change.

#7. A Critical Content of our Ancestral past suffices out as something null and vain; to be looked with contempt and shame, as every progressive mind becomes impatient and disgusted when a word is said about it.

Hence the African civilisation’s catalepsy
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee
Notice: Undefined variable: mwaniki2a3pDB in /home3/beyondis/public_html/templates/catalyst.html on line 8079

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home3/beyondis/public_html/templates/catalyst.html on line 8079
in clearing this mess!

If history truly relates good things of good people, the attentive hearer,
Is highly excited to intimately imitate that which is good and progressive;
Or if it mentions evil things of wicked persons, the pious hearer or reader...
Is then more earnestly excited to perform those things which he or she knows,
To be good and worthy of God, and to perpetuate the development of humans.
Human history, without moral philosophy, is a mere string of crude facts;
And moral philosophy, without human history, is apt to become a pipe dream.















4. To what EXTENT is the dream of the nobility of an African RENAISSANCE under siege?

  • JOBLESSNESS
  • EMPLOYMENT
  • WORK
  • ENTREPRENUERSHIP
  • MONEY
  • WAR
  • CIVIL SERVANTS
  • *******

#1. To an Essential Extent, our Joblessness is just a contradiction in terms, for nobody with a sound mind can allege that he or she has nothing to do, besides having in the words of King Solomon eaten ‘the bread of idleness’.

Hence the wanton wastage of our youth’s energy.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Idleness begets ennui, ennui lead to hypochondriac, and finally to a diseased body.
Lack of interest or sense of excitement, ends in weariness and dissatisfaction with LIFE.
That is why, research has indicated that no laborious person was ever yet hysterical.
A busy LIFE is far more enriching and fundamentally nobler than attending for a check.
It is richer than doing nothing for a bribe; it is prouder than rustling in unpaid-for job.
Idleness is the refuge of weak minds; Satan finds some mischief for idle hands to do.
If you allow your potential-to-create to fade, then propensity for destruction will ensue.

#2. To an Essential Extent, our Employment only qualifies us to be hardworking slaves, where all our efforts and energies devoid of creative investment, benefit anyone else – the corporation or government - except ourselves.

Hence the purposeless pattern in our endeavours
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Time has really come to replace the concept of having a job with having a mission.
An energetic human being willing to work, and unable to find meaningful work,
Is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune’s inequality crudely exhibits under the sun.
The most visible and substantial differences between the corporation of the future,
And its present-day counterpart will not be the nature of the products they make,
Or the equipment they use — but WHO will be working, HOW they will be working,
WHY they will be working, and WHAT work will mean to them. Simply, a LIFE’s TASK.

#3. To an Essential Extent, our Work is a curse and a condemnation we must live with without any sense of meaning, besides getting that pay, as the job is absolutely out of synch with our traits and temperaments.

Hence the thankless toiling amongst most workers.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Most professions in our African society are pursued by those who are utterly unsuited.
It is the perfect application of an anti-Darwinian theory — the survival of the unfittest.
When work is a pleasure, life becomes a joy! When work is a duty, life is then slavery.
Instead of the question ‘What must I do for my employer?’ substitute ‘What can I do?’
No occupation should be unfairly demeaned, degraded, denounced, and deplored.
The value of a job lies in the worker: Every calling is great when greatly pursued.
Your great ambition should essentially be: To die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

#4. To an Essential Extent, our Entrepreneurship is an unjust, legally sanctioned robbery-without-violence, whereby the chief drive is a murderous desire to reap super-profits, as altruism is melted away from our lives.

Hence the pathetic poverty amongst our people.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Entrepreneurship will become a core skill which all our young people will need to exploit,
The opportunities emerging from science and technology, culture and communications.
An entrepreneur, if there is such a thing, is a born schemer and a thinker up of things.
Entrepreneurs should be able to really spend 80 percent of their time getting customers.
Everything is always impossible before it works; that is what entrepreneurs are all about.
It is doing what people have told them is impossible, and pushing it BEYOND any barrier.
He or she revels in Risk-taking; an integral and intrinsic part of success or living a full LIFE.

#5. To an Essential Extent alot of Money in the local and foreign bank accounts owned by the few sacred cows, are soiled with the sweat and blood of plundered, exploited and impoverished peasants.

Hence the sluggish slowness of our economy.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The one who steals money from our economy and stash it in a foreign bank,
Is worse than a rapist who destroys the fragile LIFE of his young daughter.
While impoverishing the economy of our motherland, they enriches foreigners.
In this bottomless pit, they pierces themselves through with many sorrows.
Wealth and fame are like seawater; the more we drink, the thirstier we become.
Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, and not a deity to be worshipped.
Domestic investment and philanthropy are the sacred hunger of ambitious minds.

#6. To an Essential Extent, our War is waged against ourselves and our fellowships, as we are always battering and parasiting ourselves with corruption, thus eating away and weakening a good portion of our inner strengths.

Hence the endemic extortionism in our Society.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
‘Corruption’ is defined as wrongdoing by those in a special position of trust.
The term is commonly applied to self-benefiting conduct by public officials.
To be precise, it is rather confused rhetoric to call a corrupt person a thief.
His or her crime is not flinching away from the safe, but betraying a trust.
A corrupt person is one whose loyalty is divided and whose motives are misled.
These motives involve the ‘public interest’ for which one is employed for,
And one’s ‘private selfish interest’ which one would want to illegally quench.

#7. To an Essential Extent, our Civil Servants have degraded themselves to civil suckers by developing corruption into a high art, an efficient shadow system to the cumbersome official one.

Hence the appeasable abomination in our motherland.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Basically, corruption is the worst threat to any society’s potential for development.
As such, out of the crooked timber of our society, no straight thing can ever be made.
To avoid degeneration or drooping to a fatal decay, we have to outlive these pangs.
And ardently wax young again by casting off this old and wrinkled skin of corruption.
Once an econo-socio-political system has been corrupted right from the top leaders,
To the lowest rungs of the bureaucracy, the core problem is practically very complicated.
The cleansing has to start from top and go downwards in a thorough and systematic way.















5. What is the MEASURE of our inability to make an African RENAISSANCE a reality?

  • INSTITUTIONS
  • LEADERS
  • GUARDIANS
  • LAWS
  • JUSTICE
  • POWER
  • OFFICES
  • *******

#1. To a Meaningful Measure, our Sacred Institutions – executive, judiciary and legislature – have been defiled and turned into dens of thieves and robbers, by immoral principles and wicked practices.

Hence the gruelling grievances by the populace.
Therapeautic Tool to armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The issue of power sharing should be superseded by the question of power relationship,
Between the political center and the instrument of production – the taxpayers in general.
The question of how much power we give to any administrative or political institution,
Ought to depend wholly on how much responsibility we give to that particular institution.
It should be obvious that if we do not give it power commensurate with its responsibilities,
The ultimate result is that it will be toothless, inefficient, and also not perform effectively.
If we dole out power without defining responsibilities, it will eventually be used corruptly.

#2. To a Meaningful Measure, our Leaders have metamorphosed into pirates, who plunder our meager resources and share everything amongst themselves, reducing the majority into hunters and fruit gatherers.

Hence the fortified fury amongst the citizens.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
A leader who steals public money is worse than a thief. He or she is a fool.
With the grand opportunities all around, there is no excuse for stealing a cent.
A leader stooping too low by succumbing to the lure of a bribe or corruption,
Is not worth the moral responsibility squarely resting on his or her shoulders.
He or she can be perfectly described as an infidel with a ‘punctured personality’.
Who if convicted should be made to repay amount doubly and then be forced,
To serve a jail term, besides being barred from holding any future public office.

#3. To a Meaningful Measure, our Guardians (law-makers, law-interpreters and law-enforcers) have blatantly disregarded the constitutional law, becoming open and shameless law breakers.

Hence the anarchical anchoring of impunity.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The most crucial lesson of history is: Any system in which the fate of the people,
Depends upon the wisdom or shortsightedness of the leaders is implicitly wrong.
Any society’s salvation lies not in the wisdom of leaders, but in the wisdom of laws.
Time has come when we are supposed to draft constitutional mechanisms to protect,
The gullible and anxious mass; who are taken for granted during the campaign time,
By the power mongers, political con artists, spin doctors, holier-than-thou rascals,
And silver-tongued devils, whose villainy is subtly clothed in the language of deceit.

#4. To a Meaningful Measure, our Laws only impose legal penalties, which have no force of controlling crimes, as they fall short of creating a more just society, in which people can connect humanly with each other.

Hence the spiritless socialisation amongst our people.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Punishment is not for revenge, but to lessen crime and reform the criminal.
The LIFE of any progressive law has not been logic; it has been experience.
The law embodies the story of any society’s development and actualisation.
It cannot be dealt with as if it contained the axioms of a book of mathematics.
The law should be the intimate witness and external deposit of our moral LIFE.
Its history is the history of the moral development of the individual and society.
The real test of good laws is their ability to oil the wheel of social relations.

#5. To a Meaningful Measure, our Justice is an organised conspiracy to oppress, to break all the ladders for other society members to climb to high helms, such that poverty has become enforced and disillusionment prevails.

Hence the pitiful penology of our legal system.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
People should be made to be aware of the interconnectedness of desperation,
In one section of society and how this might lead to general destructive acts,
That will eventually affect them in one way or the other, directly or indirectly.
They should be made aware that no society is just and good for some to live in,
Until it is nourishing, satisfactory and a good one for every person to live in.
They should therefore be motivated to verily assert their right to safe existence,
By speaking out against all preventable malaise, without any fear or favour.

#6. To a Meaningful Measure, our Road to Power is charted through ‘political organisations’ and ‘tribal alliances’, without a unique pragmatic agenda in our manifestos, without either statesmanship or patriotism.

Hence the hallowed hope in our politics.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The worthiness of present politicians, has become the measure of his or her ability,
To invent some interesting and unimportant issue to divert the eyes of the populace,
From the problems involved in their daily agricultural, parenting and working lives.
Political campaign thus degenerate into the wrestling of the brawn not the brainy.
Whereas elections simply becomes a contest in fraud and farce, in noise and insults.
Sound arguments make the least sound, as empty container makes the most noise.
In all essential manifest, truth is lost in the confusion, and smoked away into oblivion.

#7. To a Meaningful Measure, our Offices are run by our smallest individuals who are subservient, amenable to discipline, elastic of conscience and devoid of dangerous originality or genius.

Hence the mugging mediocrity in our historical institutions.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
We must design a ‘Triangular Pattern’ of governing any social or economic unit.
The first corner is the set tasks or prescribed goals and respective roles and duties.
The second is the institution or instrument for implementing the set tasks and goals.
The third is the system of reward and punishment for those performing specific tasks.
The constitution must be clear on the way of recalling all those hypocritical liars;
Who assumes power through deception by preaching what is ‘of interest to the public’;
And who might prove inefficient in failing to pursue what is ‘in the public interest’.















6. Which is the DEGREE of our impotence in assimilating the ideal of an African RENAISSANCE?

  • HUMAN RIGHTS
  • TRADE UNIONS
  • FEMINISM
  • EQUALITY
  • MEDIA
  • NEWSPAPERS
  • MEDICALS
  • *******

#1. To a Decisive Degree, our Human Rights Watch Groups, seem to obey the orders of their foreign paymasters, thus lacking the boldness and conscience to be the ‘voice of the voiceless’.

Hence the hollow hypocrisy in their advocacy.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
No person can be so stupid to deny that all humans naturally were born free.
Our greatest defense, our most overriding motives against all manner of abuse,
Is to take a solidly bold and offensive action on behalf of justice and righteousness.
We must seek to remove conditions of poverty, injustice, and social discrimination;
Equal and exact justice to all people...freedom of religion, of the press, of all people,
Under the protection of the habeas corpus; and trial by juries impartially selected.
These fundamental principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us.

#2. To a Decisive Degree, our Trade Unions are managed by cartels, who are more concerned on entrenching their power bases, and easily earned allowances for their unnecessary boardroom meetings.

Hence the rhetorical restlessness in their demands and grievances.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
The most conservative person is a Trade Unionist when you want to change him or her.
Almost all trades unions have relied for success upon extorted oaths and physical force.
Their fault has been that they have copied the vices which they professed to condemn.
Acts as if with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, carrying a tumor of rotten principles.
To protect workers in their inalienable rights to a higher and better life; to protect them,
Not only as equals before the law, but also in their liberties as workers, and as citizens;
To overcome prejudices and antagonism; is the glorious mission of the Trade Unions.

#3. To a Decisive Degree, our Feminism fights for the egoistic narrow self-interest of few individuals, who are hell-bent on getting free nominations or appointments, or curve cheap short-cuts to power.

Hence the dangerous deception in the affirmative action.
Therapeautic Tool to armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
A society in which women are taught anything at all but the management of a family,
The care of men, and the creation of the future generation, is a society which is obsolete.
Conventionality has curtailed feminine force by hindering healthful and varied activity.
If we aspire to have heroes, statesmen, and philosophers, we should have learned women.
A progressive society should have nothing like masculine or feminine power or priviledge.
Women should never wait to be dished out positions freely, they should fight their way in.
Always knowing that, even a woman of abnormal will cannot escape her hormonal identity.

#4. To a Decisive Degree, our Equality is fallacious in all aspects, for it means denying opportunities to the qualified, and imposing obligations to those who do not measure up to the required task.

Hence the dire drain of our human resources.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.
It means the poorest that is in our society, has a life to live as the richest we have.
If we perceive, construe and treat people equally in all circumstances, all the time,
Then this means suppressing genius and elevating mediocrity, which is very wrong.
Equality of opportunity means equal opportunity to be unequal, in all particularity.
It means giving people a chance to express their differences in a level playing field.
It is reaping most from the variety of talents for a harmoniously integrated society.

#5. To a Decisive Degree, our Mainstream Media primarily focused on acquiring advertisement and make a quick kill, can promote any product or service devoid of all scientific considerations.

Hence the warped ways of interpreting events and issues.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time.
It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.
Advertising is an environmental striptease for a world of abundance.
Advertising is not a science. It is persuasion. And persuasion is an art.
It is arresting human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
Far more thought and care go into the composition of any advertisement,
Than what goes into the writing of the articles, features and editorials.

#6. To a Decisive Degree, our Newspapers are written by skeptics and cynics who criticises for the sake of it, and are utterly unable to give any constructive solution to the menacing problems of the day.

Hence the disdainful distrust by the populace.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
“What if journalists write objectively without caring whether they will upset their editors?”
That is a good question to be asked, but not a wise question for BEYONDISM to answer.
Journalists would like everyone to believe that they are champions of freedom of expression.
But they themselves are not free at all to express any opinion which is against public opinion.
Bloody and blindfolded, they piteously bow down before the free play of economic forces.
The primary objective of any Newspaper worth its name, is objectively gathering of news.
At the peril of its soul, it must see that data is not tainted; comment is free, but facts are sacred.

#7. To a Decisive Degree, our Medical fraternity is haunted by quacks (whether intentional or unwitting), whose lust for money only happens to make people more sick and keep undertakers busy.

Hence the corrosive contempt by the informed.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Most people are driven into medicine not by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity.
A vain, covetous physician is squarely like a milking stool, of no use except when sat upon.
Misdiagnosing a patient and giving wrong prescription is the most beastly act and nothing else.
When a doctor does wrong - having nerve and knowledge - he or she is the first of criminals.
A qualified physician worth his or her title is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ,
More even than the whole patient; he or she must view the client in his or her psychic world.
A skillful physician who is a proud professional, is better far than half a hundred Men of War.














7. Is there any THEME in the hurdles that weaken our resolve for an African RENAISSANCE?

  • POLITICS
  • ELECTIONS
  • DEMOCRACY
  • POLICIES
  • PROGRESS
  • YOUTHS
  • CONTINENTALS
  • *******

#1. The Terrifying Theme in our Politics is precisely decadent deceptions and crude charlatanism, where the small minority of exclusive oligois, organises themselves to rob and parasite the larger unorganised gullible majority.

Hence the mass manipulativeness by our politicians.
Therapeautic Tool to armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Power corrupts in the measure of the irresponsibility of those holding public offices,
Which is augmented by the low degree of checks and balances imposed by the led.
The potential for any exploitative social machinery to thrive is ‘Inversely Proportion’,
To the level of people’s social political consciousness - the ability to assert their liberty,
Be in control of their destinies; developing the ability to assimilate and direct change.
The abuse of power, the exploitation by some small minority of the larger majority,
Is in ‘Inverse Ratio’ to the intellectual development which that society has attained.

#2. The Terrifying Theme in our Electoral process, is the shameless act of raising money from the rich, in order to buy votes from the poor, and promising to protect these two antagonistic groups against each other.

Hence the veritable violence during the campaign period.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
In Africa, political campaigns have become a tragic case of mistaken identity.
Where the foxes make a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.
To avert this, there ought to be a concise assignment for each elected official,
Made public and the database of their general performance updated regularly.
Their performance will have to be critically evaluated and diligently measured,
From the standpoint of the promises they made during the political campaigns,
As well as their performance on the floor of parliament or in other elective offices.

#3. The Terrifying Theme in our Democracy is the most banal lie where through tribal alliances, leaders choose voters other than voters choosing leaders, such that all our institutions are hallowed out of all meaning.

Hence the blunted blade of our social organisation.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Low societal awakening is the fount for the difficulty of the people to agree,
In their grievances or to unite in their action; which is essence of democracy.
This timidity eventually waters down the demand for greatness or foresight,
On the elected officials, as the people are carried away by bare-toothed oratory.
In this cold atmosphere of indecisiveness, the leaders suffices out not as people,
Endowed with the creativity to govern, but to deceptively secure the approval,
Of the gullible mass for whatever policy they may have callously decided upon.

#4. The Terrifying Theme in our Policies are promulgated by ignoramuses, whose abomination is analogous to quack physicians, who would pour drugs of which they know little into a body of which they know less.

Hence the hollow hustling amongst the youths.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
It is sad that our leaders are masters of improved speech and improvised policies.
Our policy should be verily directed against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos.
Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the continent so as to permit,
The emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.
The key is to alleviate the suffering of all those unfortunates who had been victimized.
The main focus is to strengthen our continental inhabitants’ faith in modernisation.
Anyone in a government who thinks major change is impossible should just get out.

#5. The Terrifying Theme in our Progress is contained in the unanimous unconscious vow, that inaction is the most perfect of all states, as our habitual inclination to useless movement has become the highest good.

Hence the stagnatory state of our general aspirations.
Therapeautic Tool to armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Business, with its global influence and its ability to adapt rapidly to changing conditions,
Shall be one of the most effective vehicles for accelerating our self-conscious awareness.
“Commodities all the way to the horizon: There is enough of everything for everybody”.
That is how productive and rich the future continental economic social order shall be.
The whole process should creatively begin with a concentrated and radical proposition,
That the conquest of nature will eventually be going to be the top job of the modern age.
As a continent, when we will accept change as core part of our lives, we will be through.

#6. The Terrifying Theme in our Youths is being dizzy with frustrations, drowned in the deep lake of confusion, their minds riddled with arrows of despair, as their hearts burst with fury.

Hence the perennial protests in their objectives.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Though you may have endured many ordeals, the time has come for you to revolt.
Before your powers are consumed, exhausted and extinguished by your encounters.
The time is NOW to say and assert a resolute NO; make a clean sweep in your LIFE.
Success in LIFE entails a repudiation of the current retrogressive state-of-affairs.
It means devising new ways and methods of LIFE and thought; contriving new ideals,
To meet the blind and brute forces which have infiltrated all levels of our society.
It implies saying ‘NO’, to the multitude of errors that you may have accepted as true.

#7. The Terrifying Theme in our Continental Inhabitants is living in ghettos, or somewhere along a wide curve of deep-rooted, bottled-up inexpressible anger where the smell of adour of decay is almost everywhere.

Hence the degenerative dissillusionment amongst the masses.
Therapeautic Tool to Africanly Armour, O thee BEYONDIST in clearing this mess!
Weakness of all governments boils down to the weaknesses of the governed.
Leaders are not the moon; people have to emit their own light and in its absence,
Leaders metamorphose into parasites who suck the society’s blood to the last pint.
The more the governed people expect the governors to solve their daily problems,
The more the governors will demand to be highly compensated covertly or overtly.
Demanding more might translate to heavy taxation to feed a bloated bureaucracy.
This might translate to bigger bribes, or both excessive taxation and bigger bribes.

















“Negritude is the sum total of the values of the civilization of the African world. It is not racialism, it is culture.”
- Senegalese president, poet, and intellectual Léopold Senghor (1906 - 2001), 1962

“Africans have lived so long on promises. What they want to see are a few concrete deeds. They are tired of listening to pious sermons about ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom’ while the chains of servitude still hang around their necks.”
- Trinidadian campaigner George Padmore (1902 - 1959)

“We believe in the freedom of Africa for the Negro people of the world, and by the principle of Europe for the Europeans, and Asia for the Asiatics, we also demand Africa for the Africans at home and abroad.”
- Jamaican-born black nationalist leader and publisher Marcus Garvey (1887 - 1940), in Bill of Rights adopted by the first International Convention of the Negro People of the World



Keep on breaking glass ceiling with your extraordinary achievements.
Insist and persist on punching SEVEN hundred times BEYOND your weight.
With high ardent assurance in your core capabilities you will acutely approach difficult tasks:
Boldly as challenges to be merrily mastered rather than as threats to be awfully avoided.
Once affluently achieved, your PSYCHIC Revolution will not be easily revoked.
Here are 7 x 2 = 14 ways to SEIZE, CONSOLIDATE and USE,
Your understanding of being a VALIANT VOYAGER:
--->

i. Volatile as it may seem, our current African situation is a mildly extreme case, calling for mildly unusual measures, and more prevalently the exception may and will invariably prove the rule. --->



In confidently trending this direction, we have to be as open-minded and receptive as it is practically within our means, and categorically deride any attempt at dogmatism. Fortunately, both the immediate situation, as well as the immediate future offer absolute certainty for the success of the ideal of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE. However, this can materialise only when the mantle is taken by the ‘Valiant Voyagers’ - men and women with plenty of go in them, endowed with a lot of energy and accustomed to making rapid decisions. Individuals who though comfortable with the sophisticated and refined members of society, will always be determined and dedicated to ‘going off into the wilds amongst the yokels’.

ii. Astute in its analysis, BEYONDISM deliberately uses the tag ‘Valiant Voyage’ to designate adaptability and capability for radical action, coupled to a willingness to think BEYOND the thinkable.--->




This entails reconceptualising procedures, programs and purposes before crisis makes drastic change inescapable. ‘Valiant Voyagers’ will be vocationally well-adjusted ladies and gentlemen, who will not be held back by ‘Uncouth Utopians’ (social wrecks who live entirely in the past and who are incapable of visualising the future otherwise than as a projection of the past, and who call themselves realists and pragmatists and deride any attempt at rational and creative thinking as ‘misconceived idealism’).

iii. Lessons from history, confirm the fact that, new ideas always take shape within a small group of men and women, whose next task is to spread them and get them accepted by the people.--->


The first vital step is that, those who for one reason or another, are in a position to influence, transform and redirect public opinion and events, should know the exact meaning of the words they are using - and clearly define, as well as clarify the ideas they are advocating. Why? When most people first come into contact with a new idea, there is an inherent if not unconscious tendency towards its resistance or abhorrence. But because eloquence supported by facts always has great power of persuasion, if the idea is constantly pumped, bombastically propounded and disseminated with precision and sincerity, people become accustomed to it and endure it. If the people remain in contact with it long enough, they finally embrace it, and become possessed by it. They ultimately become its ardent defenders and dedicated ambassadors.

iv. It was English philosopher John Locke (1632 - 1704) who asserted: “New opinions are always suspected; and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common”. --->

“There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it”, so taught American philosopher and psychologist William James (1842 - 1910). “All great truths begin as blasphemies”, thus noted Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950). “As I look back upon our history or upon my own experience, nearly every progressive or fruitful move, especially if it was novel has been considered naïve”, thus commented American educator and politician James William Fulbright (1905 - 1995). So, if we construe history in terms of the ‘Progressive Forces’ of the ‘Superior Souls’ and the ‘Regressive Forces’ of mediocrities, it becomes apparent that ‘Superior Souls’ have always found violent opposition from the common herd. Mediocrities cannot understand it, when a real ‘existentially’ authentic individual does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his or her intelligence. Mediocrities never take the initiative; they are afraid, and probably never dream that any need exist, for they are captives of most traditional responses, custom and habits.

v. Apparent creative fecundity (ability to produce many different and original ideas), is the reserve of ‘Superior Souls’. It creates a mental exaltation that predisposes them to extraordinary insights.--->




It is a kind of wild-eyedness, which induces them in a kind of Lao Tzu’s ‘effortless effort’, to strive to channel some power, which to mediocrities seem to be greater than themselves. It is born of a refinement of being in touch with their inner selves; their Godliness. It is a feeling of an outsider status, a feeling of being outside the mainstream. It gives one the sense that, the world one sees is different from the world seen by the mediocrities, which further motivates them to articulate that vision.

vi. None other than Arthur James Balfour (1848 - 1930) who complained thus: “It is unfortunate considering that enthusiasm move the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth”.--->


In their gate-clashing, in the manner of voicing their truth to their society, at times these ‘Free Spirits’ may have some trouble putting their psychological lid back on. However, this psychological unease, is a kind of restlessness and discomfort to express oneself – even more pervasive and free-floating – which they attach to a problem. When the problem is solved, it motivates them to seek out new problems to work on, and when they seem to hit a snag they devise another formula to work on the problem, ad infinitum. The essence of creative process, is the ability to hold several oppossing or conflicting ideas in the mind at once, a task that demand robust mental power. With a preternatural awareness of their general environment, Superior Souls, take risk, they defy order; traits that make them both more vulnerable and more original than others.

vii. To the philosopher of pessimism Arthur Schopenhauer: “Intellect is invisible to the man who has none”. Every new idea, every original or creative conception, presents itself to our minds as a pathological focus. --->


Simply as a conjecture of a diseased mind. This explains why mediocrities resist every novelty so strenuously; a resistance which is a form of self-protection. This also explains why Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton and any pure and wise spirit that ever took fresh. Whereas this disgust may faintly be attributed to the envy aroused in the hearts of mediocre persons by contact with superior ability, it is upon the minds and hands of these creatively well-adjusted (but construed as maladjusted) individuals that is the fount of human salvation. As is the case of past ‘Superior Souls’, amidst all possible resistances, through persistence, the present ‘Superior Souls’ should rest assured that their ideas will bear fruit, as German poet, dramatist, novelist, and scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832) noted: “Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten but they may start a winning game”.

|

viii. Verily, the great majority of humans, never realise the fundamental changes taking place during their lifetime. Universal History, is the history of the ‘Superior Souls’ who have lived and worked in this world.--->


These are the leaders of humans, the great ones, the modelers. So, behind economic changes are mechanical changes, behind these is the progress of natural and social science, and behind these is the solitary thinking of the ‘exceptional human being’. In a thorough consideration of all the geographical, social and economic conditions, someone must take the initiative in every event and in every change; a ‘Superior Soul’ in all important respects. It accrues only to the ‘Superior Souls’ to feel the need, to think and the whirlwind of change is triggered. Perhaps, circumstances may be against them and they may fail. But if they are able to surpass the temporary barriers of opposition, a wave of lesser individuals, still exceptional will creatively imitate them and push the idea further. If they succeed, waves of imitation runs like a flood through the community, and the idea is ultimately consolidated.

ix. Over and over, a fundamental historical fact worth noting is that, each age and place, calls for and needs certain brands of genius, rather than others. But what distinguishes cultural sort of geniuses, is that they can--->



only crop up when their practical predecessors, have cleaned the forest and prepared the way. It is practically evident that, the most fertile of soils cannot yield fruits if there are no seeds planted. In our honesty therefore, we should not forget to give merit to all other former ‘Awakened Africans’, who prepared the ground and planted the seeds for our new ‘Societal Set-up’. Though these ‘Progressives’ like Kwame Nkrumah or Nelson Mandela may seem to fall out of the mark, we cannot deny the remarkable subtlety of their minds or the undeniable sincerity of their hearts. We can also never accuse them for failure to immerse themselves fully, in the intellectual and ideological depths of their times.

x. Yearning and success in making an indelible mark on history, is a function of favourable social environment. “Great men make history, but only such history as it is possible for them to make. Their freedom of--->

achievements is limited by the necessities of their environment”, thus noted West Indian political theorist, literary critic, Pan-African leader, and sports historian Cyril Lionel Robert James (1901 - 1981). Refreshing as it is, it is only in our times that, the conditions have ripened for the realisation of this noble ideal of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE. However, we should not be ashamed to confess that, our posterity acclaims are not greater than our progressive predecessors; they too had placed their stones upon the pile. But somehow we have the good fortune to come at this specific time in the history of our society and when we place our stone, the arch shall stand self-supported. We have the blessings of sitting on the shoulders of these giants, thus seeing further than them. What we need is to have an insight into the requirements of our TIME; and be conscious of what is ripe for development and maturation. Though we might not wholly qualify to be original creators of this noble ideal of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE, we shall however be midwives; helping the time to bring forth that which is already in the womb. We shall facilitate the birth of the world that is struggling to born; to replace the current world that is dying.

xi. All in all, it is a vital historical lesson that, even the most economically, politically or ethically degraded society can align, capture and assert good values and positive attitudes. Political, economic or moral entropy--->

is not a problem unique to Africa. Europe which is geographically smaller than Africa has a history tainted with all kinds of vices and sins; thirty year’s war, two world wars, extermination of a whole ethnic community, slavery, child paedophile, robber baron capitalism, to name but a few examples. The point is this: No matter how bad things gets, it takes a few good, courageous and creative men and women to stand up and chart the way out of the morass. Therefore, guided by their personal ‘North Stars’ and with demonstrable resolve, the future African ‘Resourceful Redeemers’ should understand that a decent person may appear to be coming last, but that it is only because he or she is running in different race. And the race that matters in the end, is not won by racketeers and charlatans, but by hard workers and dedicated people. The words of first prime minister (1957 - 1960) and president (1960 - 1966) of Ghana and the first black African postcolonial leader Kwame Nkrumah in this respect are very inspiring: “Circumstances can be changed by revolution and revolutions are brought about by men who think as men of action and act as men of thought”.

xii. Granted the mortal unreliability of our sense organs, even our PSYCHIC apparatus, it is a truism that one cannot measure an idea, even less the effects of an idea like the way temperature is measured by a thermometer.--->

However, wisdom born of historical empiricism show that, if people cannot hang on to an original and noble idea, doubts starts to creep in. This then goes round and round inside them and collects more doubt leading to skeptism and pessimism, and ultimately they begin to weaken, to be less sure of their idea. Finally, the dreadful fear – fear of being wrong – of defeat cripples them. When the molecule of doubt get more and more magnified, it juggles and hammers one’s reason and one’s cherished convictions get swept away irretrievably. This gives us the reason why, although we must be driven by a fundamental conviction that, there is nothing stronger, stronger than the armies and police, including all underground gangs of the world combined, than the IDEA which has come at its right time, we must direct and gear all the resources at our disposal and all the organisational skills at our command, to the all-important battle of actualisation of the noble ideal of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE. The caution of German novelist, essayist, and short-story writer Thomas Mann (1875 - 1910) is imperative: “Opinions cannot survive if one has no chance to fight for them.”

xiii. Essentially, as Africa continues to grapple with the need for a breach of cultural continuity, an abolition of traditional society, and developing something new to its utmost creative and logical conclusion,--->


what is urgently required are leaders who are strong, courageous and creative enough to be able to rise above our wary past and all its prejudiced and petrified outlook. Leaders who will never flag, because they will be sustained by the urge of LIFE, and an intuitive prevision of the future they will be bringing to birth. In other words, the Dedicated Doctrinal Dynamites, or Inspiring Ideological Icons, in the name of Valiant Voyagers, who were depicted by German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friendrich Hegel (1770 - 1831) as: “World-historical men – the heroes of an epoch – must be recognised as its clear-sighted ones; their deeds and their words are the best of their time”. Or in the words of German political philosopher Karl Marx (1818 - 1883): “We set out from real, active men, and on the basis of their real life process we demonstrate the development of ideological reflexes and echoes of this life process”.

xiv. Reading the ‘Signs of the Time’, does not require a prophetic eye. You only need to discard self-absorption and soak yourself to the daily happenings of your Place and Time. Consequently, BEYONDISM prudently proclaims to the highest possible decibel thus:--->

As a Valiant Voyager, besides being vocal and vibrant, you will be well versed in the exposition of your views. Vehemently resisting any temptation at being visionless, you will be full of vigour and vitality in vouching for the transformative power of the noble IDEAL of an AFRICAN RENAISSANCE. Desisting from all vulgar valuations, you will be vivid to overcome all econo-socio-politico vendettas, by validating only the valuable ideas and venturing where the mediocre cannot. Veracious to your convictions, your verdicts will have to pass through the sieves of versatility and variety. Vigilant without either being vicious, violent, vindictive or vengeful, you will expose all ideological as well as theological vandals living under all kinds of hypocritical veils; avoiding all the tendencies at victimising would be opponents, and critics. Out of your own volition, you will be a volunteer who will disdain all kinds of voluptuous tastes and indulgences at expense of voters; never veering away from the objective of vetting the society off all economic, social, and political vermins and vampires.

The 6th Enduring Excerpt

Eschewing any sort of gimmick, this page may well be capped by an excerpt from the book Challange of Modernization (1964), by Prominent 21st century author and political scientist I. R Sinai.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

“Faith in the perfectibility of Man and society, belief in progress, in the furtherance of humanity, is rather naïve and shallow. On the other hand man is not an imperfect creature because an imperfect man can only create an imperfect society, a parody of soaring expectations, always at war with itself, always reaching out for ideals which ineluctable reality snatches from its grasps. Every form of society is thus a painful and antagonistic process, never a harmonious or finished conclusion…Man is not born absolutely good and he is not everywhere in chains, only because of his environmental situation, or because of any particular system of property relations. He is on the contrary a divided and fallible creature, divided in the deepest layers of his unconscious, as he is on the highest levels of consciousness, tainted with and ruled by blind necessity…Man is both creative and destructive, swayed both by love and hate. He is as much moved by his passion for creation, for justice, for truth, for the fulfillment of an ideal as he is by his greed for power, domination and gain. Man is both imperfect and imperfectible, an eternal battleground, between conflicting urges and impulses, lost alike to seeds of nobility and ignominy. Man tends to be intoxicated by power. Man’s ambitions and lusts enter into every relationship and every institution, distorting and corrupting his most generous aspirations, overseeing the powerful strength of forces of habit, custom, tradition, and inertia which are both form of human society. The world inhabited by man is not as tractable as the philosophers of the enlightenment, of liberalism and of socialism in all its forms imagined….Viewed in this light, history is then a permanent, an eternal conflict between man, driven by sublime discontents and aspirations, and the inherent limitations of his own nature and of his environment, unable to transcend the antagonisms at the heart of the world. All mans bravest efforts, all his quests, all his discoveries, can never really eliminate or overcome the primordial pain and contradiction at the heart of things.”

Do you have a TEENAGE (an ADOLESCENT) sibling, an offspring, or you are one? Here is a vitally resourceful YouTube Video, to arouse a SUCCESS FORMULA!


Forward we match, as our WITTY WARFARE against DECADENCE continues to be more and more fiery!

  1. Without any pleading or justification, it is the humble hope of BEYONDISM, that you have been (or you will be) conceptually cleansed, perceptually purified and existentially enabled, to authentically acquire the gainful gusto to LOCATE your BEARING. Your PSYCHIC PRECISION having been therapeutically tempered to ACTUALIZE your POTENTIAL, you are (or will be) therefore, explicitly empowered to implicitly indulge in soulfully spreading the gallant gospel of an African RENAISSANCE.
  2. Affirmatively, 2A/3P SELF-ACTUALIZATION Model which solidly stands at the core center of BEYONDISM, distinctly deals with what it says it does (validity), and precisely produces the same results when given same data more than once (reliability). So rest and praise. For what other end do we AFRICANS propose to ourselves, than to remove all scruples and impediments to our personal and social growth, so as to unlock and unleash all our immense, inherent ABILITIES?
  3. Robustly, BEYONDISM is ferociously fueled by 7P’s (Psychology, Philosophy, Poetry, Prose, Programming, Post-modernism, and Pan-Africanism).
    1. Psychology supplies the essential raw materials, and the basic facts from current research.
    2. Philosophy provides the adhesive force, for making BEYONDISM meaningfully enriching.
    3. Poetry offers the simplest, as well as the colourful way to make BEYONDISM palatable.
    4. Prose anchors you in the groves of BEYONDISM, so as to walk in the PSYCHIC paradise.
    5. Programming is the medium about which this work, is converted into a “personalized book.”
    6. Post-modernism is taking TRUTH as dependent upon personal, historical and social context.
    7. Pan-Africanism gives us the guiding goal, and the ultimate stimulation of BEYONDISM.
  4. Fundamentally, the MODEL is precisely for SELF-REALIZATION, SELF-ACTUALIZATION, as well as SELF-SUFFICIENCY purposes only. Consequently, it is not intended to be a substitute for dueling with the hustles and bustles of real LIFE, or the traditional face to face counselling with a trained (and certified) counsellor or a psychotherapist.

Due credit is hereby accorded to the most able editor of this work, Anthony Mutugi Gichuki (a loftily loyal comrade-in-arms against DECADENCE).
  5. An accomplished author, Mwaniki (who is the worthy initiator of BEYONDISM and the chief architect of 2A/3P... MODEL) has written two books: ‘An ABCD...for an Assertive African’, and ‘Building a PSYCHIC PALACE: Provoking Positive Perceptions’. Like this scholar, let others be blessed by the TIMELY THERAPY of BEYONDISM (so as to kindle the fire of an African RENAISSANCE), by RESPONDING, then PROPOSING the respective CODES, to as many AFRICANS as you can. O, let not the flame die out! “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” - Bible, Mark 16:15.

An African subject I was born, and an African subject I hope to die. AFRICA, with all thy faults, I love thee still, my continent. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
  7. Eventually, BEYONDISM has spoken; the case of MEANINGLESSNESS, PURPOSELESSNESS and VALUELESSNESS is (or shall soon be) concluded once and for all. I think I have (or will), by God’s inerrant inspirition, diligently discharged my ontological obligation in duly developing this laudably large and WONDERFUL WEBSITE - which is deftly determined, to be candidly crowned in the Africans’ PSYCHE, as a magnum opus (Latin “Great Work”). Let those who think I have said too little, or too much, forgive me; and those who think I have said just enough join me in giving thanks to God. AMEN! In the meantime, until our EARTHLY Kingdom transpires (through our efforts and innovation) into a HEAVENLY Kingdom, continue to:
    1. Grow strong...........................so as to...........................Meaningfully live.
    2. Immerse passionately.............in order to......................Work productively.
    3. Learn diligently.......................with an aim of...............Arousing creativity.
    4. Belief cautiously.....................with a view of................Nurturing inquiry.
    5. Esteem boldly.........................for the purposes of.........Indicting futility.
    6. Romance deeply......................towards..........................Keen loving.
    7. Think broadly........................as a function of................Iindividual orientation.
