Celebrating the Magnificent Harvest of All-Year-Round Ascension

From the earliest of times and throughout the norm of self-determined experience across the Afrikan continuum, there is not just Afrikan life but authentic Afrikan cultural life. Indeed, to state that the Afrikan is alive and flourishing is to naturally state that the Afrikan is thriving in and of authentic Afrikan cultural life (creatively restored or otherwise).
So, what is cultural life? According, to two different contemporary mainstream sources:
“Cultural life are elements of the human experience that give life meaning”.
And:
"Cultural life" refers more to those practices… which enrich the lives of the group's members”.
A third mainstream source, concludes that:
“Cultural life refers to the collective expression of a society's values, beliefs, and artistic achievements through various forms such as literature, art, music, and philosophy”.
With particular focus on the contemporary era, another mainstream source reflects upon the unknowingness that can prevail in regards to cultural life thus:
“Culture includes all the aspects from your everyday life. Most people don't know it, but everything you do is part of your culture; it is a tradition”.
Yet another mainstream source highlights another aspect of potential unknowingness that may also be prevalent in relation cultural life in the right to participate, when it states:
“The right to take part or participate in cultural life, which is widely recognised in human rights instruments”.
Such detail is surely of key importance to Afrikan souls, especially in times of interruption and disruption where the Afrikan may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Others bent of destroying Afrikan life may go so far as to concoct, push and peddle pseudo-identities and pseudo-cultural fabric as a basis of establishing a pseudo-cultural existence amongst soul people. Despite any such challenge it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can secure their authentic cultural life. To bring focus to this at the level of core and shared Afrikan oneness the sourced details can be combined and adapted to produce an articulation that may look something like the following:
“Authentic Afrikan cultural life are the elements of the Afrikan experience that give shared core substance of Afrikan life meaning for Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere. Authentic Afrikan cultural life (creatively restored or otherwise) includes those practices which enrich the lives of Afrikan people and serves their continual ascension regardless of their locale. At the core of authentic Afrikan cultural life are its shared core of values, philosophy and beliefs that can be outwardly expressed through vehicles such as literature, art and music. Authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise) is naturally of pervasive empowerment throughout the various spheres of Afrikan life. Certainly, it is a natural and fundamental right for Afrikan souls to participate in their authentic cultural life of shared oneness”.
Brilliantly, Afrikan souls have creatively restored authentic Afrikan cultural fabric at the shared level of oneness for authentic Afrikan cultural life to flourish with exceptional examples such as the Nguzo Saba and the observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes. Afrikan souls thus have ready access to their authentic cultural substance here, there and elsewhere. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
