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

For Afrikan souls, to be healthy can have a range of meanings. It can relate to the mind. It can relate to the body. Whatever the area of focus, it relates to a state of optimal functioning and free from injury, illness or ailment. Yet, perhaps less popularised – and probably more so in the contemporary sense –  is the focus on cultural health. With their culture naturally being at the core of Afrikan life’s functioning and thriving throughout its various spheres of expression, Afrikan cultural health is surely of vital significance.  Indeed, one may be able to conceive of its importance if the term is translated to: Afrikan civilisation health. Here, to be void of civilisation healthiness could mean that this primary people of creation may become subject to that which is uncivilised.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption imposed by others that mean the Afrikan ill, vehicles for the unhealthiest and most uncultured forms of existence may be pushed and peddled amongst soul people for their consumption. Vices such as that of pseudo-identities, pseudo-cultural fabric and miseducation may become the ill-vices of choice for those that mean the Afrikan ill.  

It may be useful at this point to present some definitional detail on the subject. According to a contemporary mainstream source, the following account is relevant:

“Cultural Health refers to having a deep awareness of your personal culture and life experiences and understanding how they influence your value system, worldview, and practices”.

In order to bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience, it is considered appropriate to adapt this sourced detail. The results of alteration may yield something that looks like the following:

“Afrikan cultural health refers to Afrikan souls having a deep awareness of their authentic culture (creatively restored or otherwise) and knowledge of their experience throughout their continuum in service of their shared core oneness of being and their ascension of rightful order here, there and elsewhere.  In this, Afrikan souls carry lived knowingness of their shared system of values, their shared worldview and their shared cultural practices”.

Despite the ill-efforts of others that may be bent on destroying Afrikan life, it is Afrikan souls themselves that can – and surely must – realise their optimal cultural health. Making use of their own self-determined cultural health centres – establishments that facilitate appropriate levels of learning and development is an example of one important way in which this can be done.

Also, and thankfully, with the exceptional efforts Afrikan souls have made to creatively restore authentic Afrikan culture on the basis of shared oneness here, there and elsewhere, Afrikan cultural health can be readily restored. The outstanding example of the Nguzo Saba and the observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes stands as an empowering vehicle of excellence accessible to Afrikan souls regardless of geographical locale.  

In Afrikan souls returning to their natural state of optimal cultural health - or rather, optimal civilisation health – the fullest flourishing and security of this primary people of creation is surely inevitable. After all, civilisation is not a phenomenon of happenstance.
