Celebrating the Magnificent Harvest of All-Year-Round Ascension

In a discussion of cultural learning one can find that it consists of a number of types according to contemporary mainstream thought. One source puts it this way:
“Cultural learning manifests itself in three forms during human ontogeny: imitative learning, instructed learning, and collaborative learning”.
Another mainstream source offers the following detail on imitative learning:
“Imitative learning occurs when an individual acquires a novel action as a result of watching another individual produce it”.
If Afrikan souls are on their path of natural normality to construct, maintain and secure their self-determined and highly civilised living then the actions that they produce will reflect such ascension. Here then, from each generation to the next, imitative learning can comprise of the vast spheres of Afrikan activity that produce the outputs for their fullest flourishing and security. For the Afrikan steeped in their authentic cultural fabric (creatively restored and otherwise), this is mainstay in their lives.
Unfortunately, the challenges for this soul people can become acute if faced with a period of interruption and disruption imposed by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Here, Afrikan cultured normality can be destructively set upon to render its engagement null. Ill-vices such as that of intentionally damaging pseudo-cultural concoctions can be pushed and peddled in popular ways. If totally consumed by the Afrikan, then actions may become dire to state the least. This also means that any resultant imitative learning can spread, perpetuate and amplify ill-effects that are oppositional to Afrikan cultured norms.
Despite the challenges, surely then, it is for Afrikan souls to recover and restore their authentic way of life (culturally restored or otherwise) to be their natural constructive and progressive selves, whether located here, there or elsewhere. Thankfully, with exceptional examples of cultural restoration such that of the Nguzo Saba and the observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes, ready access and engagement to cultural substance of shared Afrikan oneness is ever-present.
Afrikan souls – can and surely must – exercise the duty and responsibility they have to themselves to build in service of their continual upright ascension, fullest flourishing and security. It has been this way for this primary people of creation throughout the ages. Thus, if Afrikan souls can imitate the best of themselves grand civilisation becomes inevitable. After all, grandeur in this regard is not of happenstance.
