Celebrating the Magnificent Harvest of All-Year-Round Ascension

Authentic Afrikan cultural stability speaks to the firmness, consistency and immovable nature that authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise) naturally has in Afrikan life. This does not mean that authentic Afrikan culture is a static and frozen fixture in its nature. Afrikan souls have continually developed their way of life, through their participatory experience to realise their optimality in any era. Yet, at the core level of their cultural substance, transformations can be very slight across grand sweeps of time in contrast to – what may be deemed as cultural expression – at tertiary level output or aesthetic cultural expression level where changes and developments in form may more rapidly and more drastically come to fruition.  

In discussion in the topic of cultural stability one contemporary mainstream source offers the following detail:
“Culture’s tendency to resist change, or to change only incrementally, is often described as one of its defining features. This resilience can be beneficial if cultural ensembles have positive sustainability outcomes, but problematic where they do not”.

Another mainstream source provides additional commentary on the subject thus:

“The forces that keep cultures stable across time are traditions, shared values, and cultural institutions such as religion, education, and family structures”.

In a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, and authentic Afrikan culture can be subject to much by way of attack. Here, attempts to derail the positive sustainability outcomes of this soul people’s authentic culture can come via miseducation and other ill contaminants. At the same time, the concocting, pushing and peddling of divisive pseudo-identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and the like represent the problematic opposing force that breeds instability and worse.

To bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience at the level of shared level of oneness on this subject in definitional terms, the sourced details can usefully be adapted. In so doing, something that looks like the following may result:

“Authentic Afrikan cultural stability relates to authentic Afrikan culture’s natural ability to resist change at its core level of substance, or to change only incrementally to best serve the fullest flourishing and security of Afrikan people here, there and elsewhere across time. This resilience can be of great benefit to authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise) in its fundamental role to realise Afrikan optimality and produce positive sustainability outcomes for a whole people. At the same time, Afrikan souls are empowered to secure stability with outright rejection of harmful pseudo-identities and pseudo-cultural fabric”.

Thankfully, through self-determined efforts of brilliancy Afrikan souls have creatively restored authentic Afrikan cultural fabric at the shared level of oneness with the likes of the Nguzo Saba and the observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes. This allows Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere ready access to authentic Afrikan cultural participation and engagement to enliven authentic Afrikan cultural stability in the now and tomorrows to come. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.

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