Liberators Give Rise to the Process of Liberation and the Outcome of Liberty: What of Liberation Relationships? 

The Afrikan liberator self naturally brings about successful engagement in the process of Afrikan liberation to realise Afrikan liberty with healthy, harmonising and uprightly functional relationships between Afrikan souls of rightful order and ascension. Of course, such relationships are naturally steeped in knowingness of self and rooted in authentic cultural fabric (creatively restored or otherwise) as the upright thrust for the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty necessarily ensues. One may describe such connection as Afrikan liberation relationships or having Afrikan liberation in a relationship. 

According to a contemporary source:   

“Liberation in relationships is not about abandoning commitment, but about strengthening bonds built on true connection, trust, and mutual respect”. 

To bring focus to the Afrikan experience at the shared level core of oneness that this primary people of creation naturally hold, adaption of the sourced detail is considered apt. Alteration may yield something that looks like the following: 

“Afrikan liberation relationships hold positive, harmonising and mission-compelling bonding of rightful order between Afrikan liberator selves here, there and elsewhere in service of the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty. Such bonds are naturally steeped in knowingness of self and rooted in authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). Thus, Afrikan liberation relationships are built on true connection, trust and respect Afrikan souls share with each other in service of their fullest flourishing and security regardless of geographical locale”. 

In harmful opposition, ‘relations’ with others that mean the Afrikan ill can hold acutely negative characteristics. In this, others of ill may seek to be instigators of disorder, conflict or worse in Afrikan life. As such, trauma may be brought to the fore as ills of imposition are pushed and peddled upon the Afrikan. The type of resultant connection may be described as a trauma bond. Another mainstream source offers the following description:      

“A trauma bond is a strong emotional connection, often mistaken for love or true attachment, that develops between a person and their abuser due to a cycle of abuse and positive reinforcement. This bond makes it difficult for the abused person to leave the harmful relationship, even with its negative consequences”.  

Are their Afrikan souls in a trauma bond with their coloniser or enslaver? Surely, Afrikan souls ought to work on themselves to avoid and safeguard themselves from any such dire circumstance.  

Indeed, there lessons the Afrikan can learn from this even at the person level of day-to-day life. Certainly, Afrikans ought not become wilfully destructive instigators of conflict and trauma amongst themselves to thwart the rightful securing of their liberty by proxy. Perpetrators may attempt to hide their destructive hand with covert micro-aggressive tactics where every interaction, every message, every gesture is laced with negative undertones or attempted ‘power-plays’ of deceitfulness or dysfunctional manipulation. This can become an acutely wasteful and despicable addiction to wilfully destructive wrongdoing amongst a potential host of other ills. 

 Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in safeguarding against attempts of trauma-inducing folly and direct time, energy and resource to establish and build Afrikan liberation relationships for their liberty here, there and elsewhere to be realised. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
