Special Shared Space of Oneness Reflects Special Shared Core Oneness of Self: What of Space for Gameplay? 

Throughout Afrikan tradition the role of gameplay has been both an important leisure pursuit and a tool of functional learning and development. The various strategy game boards and other gaming facilities can be readily observed throughout the ages of traditional Afrikan life. Yet, perhaps what may not be so readily observable to the cursory onlooker is the spiritual-cultural rootedness and empowerment that is ever-present in Afrikan gaming activity. In this, Afrikan souls are able to strengthen their resolve in their continual thrust of ascension of rightful order as a natural norm of day-to-day living even whilst making space for a leisure pursuit such as gaming.  

In the contemporary world, gaming can be seen as a whole industry where modern technological expression has taken hold. Where do Afrikan people stand in this? Do Afrikan souls assert upright empowerment for themselves and their ascension in gameplay activity? In order for Afrikan souls to determine their natural norm of upright gameplay empowerment, their self-knowingness and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise) surely must be in place. It is from this foundational rootedness that gameplay is naturally outwardly brought to be.  

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption Afrikan souls may be subject to the destructive ills of others who may see ‘gaming’ as a tool to energise the conquering, domination and rule of Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere. There are games that may inspire users to have ‘settler units’ and build ‘empire’. As history attests invading ‘settler units’ and their resultant ‘empires’ have created havoc, chaos and devastation for Afrikan people. Do such games encourage a mind-set that it is some sort of ‘norm’ to conquer, dominate and exploit Afrikan people in the guise of a leisure pursuit?    

Another mainstream source offers the following detail in respect of a particular category of gameplay: 

“Deceitful games, also known as social deduction games, are a category of games where players must identify hidden roles or team allegiances through deception and deduction. These games often involve bluffing, manipulation, and backstabbing as players try to outwit their opponents”.  

Afrikan souls can surely do themselves a great service by safeguarding themselves from the ill-effects of ‘gameplay’ laden with contaminants of ill. Certainly, to bring the characteristics of disorder into real life expression could spell harmful damage to soul people here, there and elsewhere where deceit, backstabbing and the like can consume susceptible souls energising disorder by proxy. If security is useful for types of ‘gameplay’ surely it is also useful for types of other media and vehicles may carry content that can ‘validate’ lies, manipulation and backstabbing as life ‘norms’. Key to Afrikan security is the recovery of self-knowledge and authentic cultured living (creatively restored or otherwise). Indeed, Afrikan souls wherever located can determine upright gameplay space for themselves with content that gives rise to constructive progression in Afrikan life - as it has naturally done since the most ancient of times. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
