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

Afrikan souls represent the pioneering thrust of the culture upon the plain of humanity. This soul people continuously cultivated themselves in superlative ways throughout the ages and the outward expression of there achievements are gloriously etched in the annals of their history. Necessarily, as a part of their growth, development and ascension of rightful normality, this primary people of creation would bring together aspects of cultural process and advancements from amongst themselves to form greater wholes of cultured living.

In the contemporary era where Afrikan souls can be faced with much by way of interruption and disruption the notion of cultural synthesis amongst themselves to realise greater wholes of Afrikan culture attracts acute urgency. Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere can share, harness and bring together the best of their cultural fabric to realise cultured optimality between themselves that transcends geographical locale, political boundaries, manufactured citizenships and other forms of ringfencing.

Indeed, others that mean the Afrikan ill may attempt to ‘lock’ Afrikan souls away from each other behind ‘walls’ of imposed overlordship in order to thwart the natural norm of Afrikan cultural synthesis for Afrikan life to reach its fully flourishing blossom.

Despite the challenges, the exceptional example of cultural synthesis that was born of the organised Afrikan effort in establishing the Nguzo Saba and the cultural observance period of Kwanzaa, comes as a true blessing of empowerment for a whole people regardless of geographical locale.   Here then, it is Afrikan souls themselves that have pulled together shared aspects of cultured Afrikan life in service of Afrikan ascension and formalised them into a readily accessible form for Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere.

On the subject of cultural synthesis, a contemporary mainstream source offers the following detail:

“Cultural synthesis is the process where aspects of different cultures blend to create a new, unified culture, often resulting in innovative traditions or practices. Historically, cultural synthesis occurs through migration, trade, or colonization, enabling societies to share ideas, languages, and customs”.

Whilst such detail may provide some useful indicators in respect of Afrikan life, it is deemed pertinent to engage adaption in order for explicit focus on the Afrikan experience to be realised. In so doing, the following may be expressed:

“Afrikan cultural synthesis is the process where aspects of Afrikan culture from throughout the Afrikan world and continuum are blended by Afrikan souls themselves using methods of creative restoration and newness to establish unified Afrikan culture in service of optimal ascension for a whole people – here, there and elsewhere. Innovative traditions and practices such as that magnificently exemplified in the Kwanzaa cultural observance are the results of a synthesisation project of excellence. Despite the imposition of forced migrations, enslavement, colonisation and other ill vices – Afrikan souls can readily share in their ideas, language, and customs of oneness”.

Afrikan souls have made (and continue to make) tremendous efforts to retain, restore and create anew essential synthesised cultural fabric for themselves that is readily accessible and meets their needs in thrust of optimal ascension in the contemporary world. This of course, flies in the oppositional face of others that mean the Afrikan ill bent on imposing un-cultured-ness, pseudo-culture, fragmentation and destruction upon Afrikan life. Yet, it is the ageless and triumphant resolve of Afrikan souls that must surely endure into eternity. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
