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

For Afrikan souls the term cultural shift and cultural drift are similar (or maybe even interchangeable) terms relating to transformation of cultural fabric over time. It is indeed natural for this primary people of creation to develop the way of life that yields their optimality as a matter of normality. Authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise) is dynamic and not static. At the same time, it is not an arbitrary whimsical sea of change for the sake of change. Rather, through authentic cultured living organic growth and development naturally takes place to realise the optimal way of flourishing and security in the lives of soul people throughout any given epoch. Even then, the best of what has been and that remains applicable is never left behind nor is it ever discarded, but rather embraced, shaped accordingly and added - as this soul people deem fit - on a self-determined basis.  

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

“A cultural shift refers to a significant change in the beliefs, values, practices, or social norms of a society or community”.

Another mainstream source offers the following description of cultural drift:

“Cultural drift is a fascinating concept that delves into the evolution and transformation of societies over time. It refers to the gradual changes that occur within a culture, often influenced by external factors such as technology, globalisation, migration, and social movements. These changes can shape the beliefs, values, norms, and practices of a society, ultimately leading to its transformation”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the authentic cultured norms of living can be derailed from Afrikan life.  Set in place as a concocted-for-ill substitute for Afrikan consumption, can be destructive pseudo-cultural identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and the like. Bearing in mind, cultural shift or drift naturally comes as a result from the Afrikan being steeped within their highly cultured norm in the first place. Thus, in such a disruptive state, it is surely in the best interests of the Afrikan to shift or drift away from the ills of pseudo-cultural identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and the like.  At the same time, the Afrikan ought not succumb to an unnatural cultural void either. Hence, reclamation of authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) is key.

So, in order to bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience, particular adaptations of the sourced detail are considered apt. The result of alteration may yield a description that looks like the following:

“Authentic Afrikan cultural shift and drift in the contemporary era can refer to the self-determined transformation of Afrikan existence away from any imposed and harmful beliefs, so-called values, practices or social ‘norms’ that emanate from peddled and pushed pseudo-cultural identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and so on. Simultaneously, authentic Afrikan cultural shift and drift can refer to the progressive transformation of Afrikan souls moving towards and embracing their own authentic cultural fabric with self-determined beliefs, values, practices and norms that service Afrikan fullest flourishing and security (creatively restored or otherwise) here, there and elsewhere”.

Thankfully, through a process of creative restoration, Afrikan souls have established an exceptional example of authentic cultural development and growth 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 and the ability to progressively shift themselves into their natural norm of cultured living. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.  

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