Shared Culture of Oneness- Here, There and Elsewhere: What of Authentic Cultural Determinism?

Naturally, authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise), is fundamental and core to Afrikan life. Its natural positioning, role and status is not merely conceptual. Rather, authentic Afrikan culture is functional vitality. If one were to validly translate authentic Afrikan culture to authentic Afrikan civilisation, then the crucialness and impact of this phenomenon may be more readily understood. The norm of Afrikan souls being steeped in their culture is purposeful and gives rise to their optimality throughout their continuum. Thus, authentic Afrikan culture holds the powerful quality and thrust of determinism.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural determinism attracts the following detail:

“Cultural determinism is the belief that an individual's culture influences their actions, behaviours, and decisions. It means that the values and beliefs of an individual's culture influence their values and beliefs throughout life”.

In order to bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience at the shared level of oneness, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. In so doing, something that looks like the following may result:

“Authentic Afrikan cultural determinism is the thrust that authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise) has in its influence upon the actions, behaviours and decisions Afrikan souls have in service of their fullest flourishing and security – here, there and elsewhere. It means that authentic Afrikan values and beliefs gives rise to the values and beliefs of this soul people – wherever located - throughout their lives in order for their optimality to be realised”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, attempts to derail authentic Afrikan culture may become prevalent. Here, those bent on Afrikan destruction may seek to grotesquely and erroneously reposition Afrikan culture from its rightful place of core influence upon Afrikan life and to render it of little or of no importance. Miseducation and other vehicles of anti-Afrikan propaganda may be employed as vehicles to drive soul people away from their own culture, their own optimality, their own fullest flourishing and security. Indeed, such ill-vices are geared to push the Afrikan from civilisation. To make matters worse, the injection of pseudo-identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and the like can compound an instigated and harmful downturn – to put it politely.  

Yet, despite the challenges, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can restore their authentic cultural fabric and their natural thrust of authentic cultural determinism. Thankfully, Afrikan souls have not laid in wait of being trampled into oblivion. Instead, this primary people of creation have made exceptional effort in bringing to the fore their authentic cultural fabric at the shared level of oneness via a process of creative restoration. The results of which has given rise to the outstanding example of the Nguzo Saba and the observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes. With this, Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere have ready access to their authentic Afrikan culture on a world community shared basis. Consequently, authentic Afrikan cultural determinism can embody its thrust in a whole people. After all, civilisation is not happenstance nor is it exclusive a particular locale.

Kwanzaa is one of the essential cultural observances of life within the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation.
