What of a Cultural Group?

By definition, culture for Afrikan souls is a phenomenon of peoplehood. It naturally involves some degree of rightfully ordered collectiveness that caters for optimal fulfilment of shared purpose. As a whole, and throughout their continuum, Afrikan grouping realised the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. In this, it can be useful to shed a light of focus on the entity of the cultural group as a vehicle for this soul people to secure upright ascension and their highly civilised norm of fullest flourishing.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural group attracts the following meaning:

“A cultural group is defined simply as a collection of individuals who share a core set of beliefs, patterns of behaviour, and values. The groups may be large or small, but they are identified by their ways of thinking and behaving”.

At a naturally fundamental level for Afrikan souls, family may be considered to be a primary cultural grouping.  Here, shared core beliefs, patterns of behaviour and values can be cultivated and developed from birth into maturation of adulthood and so on. In general terms, each family cultivates its members in the upright rootedness, out of which, members may then necessarily productively function as a part of other necessary groupings to best service their nation and grand Afrikan civilisation as does the family.  

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption cultural groupings can suffer acutely as a result of the destructive impositions by others that mean the Afrikan ill. The pushing and peddling of destructive pseudo-cultural beliefs, patterns of behaviour and values can shoehorn souls into the realms of exclusively servicing the best interests of ill-intentioned others whilst simultaneously servicing their own demise.  From would-be family to community, pseudo- cultural groupings can be of such grotesque disorder that they exist as fragmented units fuelling self-destruction. 

Naturally, Afrikan souls will group themselves together at varying levels. However, if the souls concerned are consumed with contaminants of ill and other destructive pseudo-cultural vices then damage can be amplified in relation to effort, effectiveness and number.  

Such detail is in no way intended to serve as a deterrent against cultural grouping. On the contrary, wholesome, upright and progressive self-determined cultural groups are essential constructs for the security and ascension of Afrikan souls. The point is that self-knowingness and the purging and safeguarding against destructive ills are key for a rightfully functional cultural group.

Afrikan souls at every level of cultural grouping can – and surely must - amplify their genuine, upright and self-determined beliefs, patterns of behaviour and values that can bring about their highly civilised norm and fullest flourishing.  Each soul from whatever station or status can make a positive step of progress to ensure that their role, in whatever cultural grouping they are a part of, is uprightly productive in the imperative thrust of Afrikan ascension.
