MUSA-ODODO ABDULRAHAMAN
A Declaration of Inner Liberation, Unity, and Prosperity
In the Name of the Eternal Spirit of Life,
the Breath that moves through all Creation and awakens in every Soul,
we, the Children of the Sun, the Heirs of Ancient Wisdom and Custodians of the Earth,
Rise to Proclaim: Africa Must Return to Self Now!
- The Call of the Hour
For centuries, we have lived beneath borrowed skies – guided by transmitted knowledge that carried power but not purpose; form but not essence.
We have learned much from others, yet forgotten our own knowing.
We have worn masks made by foreign hands, while the face of our True Self waited patiently beneath.
Now the drums of destiny sound again across the savannahs, deserts, forests, and cities of our homeland:
Return, O Africa, to your Divine Selfhood!
- The Truth We Remember
We remember that Knowledge without Self-Knowledge is illusion.
That education without Wisdom builds strong hands but lost minds.
That nations without Self-awareness serve other destinies.
From Kemet to Kush, from Ife to Axum, from Timbuktu to Zimbabwe, our Ancestors taught:
Man, know thyself, and thou shalt know God.
They taught that the Kingdom of Heaven is within;
that the Light of the Divine dwells in the Soul of Humanity;
and that the realization of this Light is the beginning of true civilization.
- The Alchemy of the Return
To Return to Self is not retreat – it is renewal.
It is to awaken the ancient intelligence that sleeps in our bones;
to reconcile Spirit and Matter, Thought and Action, the Inner and the Outer.
This Return shall transmute our divisions into unity,
our poverty into creativity,
our imitation into innovation.
When the African Mind remembers its boundless Source,
it will fashion economies rooted in abundance,
politics rooted in service,
and cultures rooted in truth and beauty.
- Our Covenant
We, the Sons and Daughters of Africa, make this covenant:
To seek Self-knowledge before all knowledge,
that wisdom may flow from within, not imposed from without.
To restore the dignity of our languages, arts, and traditions,
for in them lie the maps of our awakening.
To educate a new generation of self-aware beings,
whose intelligence is joined with conscience and creativity.
To unite beyond borders, knowing that the Spirit that animates Ghana, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Nigeria is One.
To offer our reborn civilization as a blessing to the world,
sharing peace, balance, and justice with all humanity.
- The Promise of the One-True-Self
As the individual realizes the Infinite within,
so shall the continent realize her Infinite destiny.
Africa’s awakening is the world’s healing –
for when the Mother of Humanity stands whole again,
the nations shall remember their shared origin and destiny.
Let the rivers of our consciousness flow together once more.
Let the memory of our greatness become the seed of a new dawn.
Let every African rise, not as a subject of circumstance,
but as a co-creator of the New Earth.
So We Declare:
The time of imitation is ended.
The Age of Self-Realization has begun.
Africa, Return to Self –
and by your awakening, awaken the world.
