Celebrating the Magnificent Harvest of All-Year-Round Ascension

Imagine the extent to which a people who had the most extensive duration of cultural continuity of humanity would be empowered. In this regard imagination can be discarded, for the reality of the primary people of creation is of pinnacle continuity in length and endowment. It is indeed, Afrikan people who ushered culture (civilisation) into being in the first place and have been naturally been enriched accordingly and upwardly since.  Of course, the authentic core and shared culture of this soul people is not a static affair as their authentic culture serves to realise their optimality in whatever era. Hence, development, enhancement and the like can be features of any necessary progressive transformation. Whatever the case for this people’s upright progress, core shared culture accessible to Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere remain continually, authentically and uniquely theirs and of their experience.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:

“Cultural continuity is the ability to preserve the historical traditions of a culture and carry them forward with that culture into the future, and it is closely linked to the concept of cultural identity... Cultural identity has a major influence on our confidence and self-esteem”.

Of course, in a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan people and their authentic cultured (civilised) living can be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, authentic Afrikan cultural continuity can suffer tremendously. Others bent on destroying Afrikan life may seek to severe the Afrikan totally from their authentic cultural journeying throughout the ages. Indeed, to shoehorn the Afrikan into a state of cultural dislocation or cultural amnesia may be a strategy of choice so each Afrikan generation can only ‘see’ and operate in the immediate now. Such dire strategy can certainly serve the interests of others well in their attempts at perennial overlordship of soul people. To compound any such effort, the pushing and peddling of pseudo-identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and the like may become prevalent.  

Despite ill efforts of others, it is only Afrikan souls that can return continual cultural flow to their lives. In this, the development or progressive transformational effort may need to have a focus on authentic cultural restoration at the shared level of oneness.

Thus, to bring the spotlight of concentration upon the Afrikan experience, it is deemed apt to make adaptations to the sourced detail concerning this topic of cultural continuity. In so doing, the result may look something like the following:

“Authentic Afrikan cultural continuity is the Afrikan ability and self-determined application to preserve authentic Afrikan traditions at the shared level of oneness (creatively restored or otherwise) to carry them forward as essentials of Afrikan culture into the future. This is intrinsically linked to authentic Afrikan cultural identity. Authentic Afrikan cultural identity is fundamental to the self-confidence, self-esteem in general, and racial esteem in particular, of Afrikan souls – here there and elsewhere”.

Brilliantly, Afrikan souls have creatively restored authentic cultural fabric at the shared level of oneness with the Nguzo Saba and the observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes. With this, Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere have ready access to authentic cultured living. Indeed, such a powerful example of restored authentic cultural fabric highlights an exceptional form of authentic Afrikan cultural continuity in and of itself.  Empowered with their authentic culture (creatively restored or otherwise) this primary people of creation can again realise their optimality. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
