As we continue to appreciate the nature of time as an active present, we continue to see just how the ancestors are constant even in their immortality. There are six general prerogatives of the ancestors:

Control of the society’s filiations
Control of the metaphysical and social order
Protection of agricultural rites and keeping the land fertile
Sustaining of unity and harmony
Reinforcement of group cohesion
Maintenance of harmony between the living and the deceased (Source: Encyclopedia of African Religion – Molefi Asante)

Each and everyone of us exists because of the ancestral line of which we are part of and with that lineage of continuum each and everyone of us has a personal mission that positions us to make the maximal contribution to the efforts of the collective. When respected this order will continue to work to the benefit of everyone, it behooves us to continue to do everything within our might to maintain this order…..Grand Rising/Grand Ra’sing.
