What of a Cultural System?

Values, observances, expressions and so on can be considered to be elements of functional Afrikan culture. Elements may operate at different levels of this primary people’s life and be impactful in a variety of dynamic ways. Yet, their existence, cohesiveness and use in service to the fullest flourishing and continual upright ascension of Afrikan souls is naturally ordered and directed within the cultural system that is determined and governed by Afrikans themselves. It was the Afrikan cultural systems of brilliancy that were necessary to bring about the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to have come to be. The life constructions essential for such grand outcomes required the necessary cultural systems to be in place. Surely, what the Afrikan has done, the Afrikan can do.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural system is defined as follows:  

“A cultural system is the interaction of different elements in culture. While a cultural system is very different from a social system, sometimes both systems together are referred to as the sociocultural system”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption, Afrikan culture may be set upon in utterly destructive ways by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Piecemeal, fragmented or haphazard engagement with their own cultural systems may be the compelling result for Afrikan souls at best. At worst, obliteration of any semblance of a functional Afrikan cultural system may be the cruel reality of things. Of course, damage can then be compounded with the imposition of dire systems of destructive pseudo-cultures established to mechanise the descent towards doom for soul people.

The imperative thrust of self-determined cultural restoration is something that Afrikan souls have a duty and responsibility to themselves to fulfil and surely ought not avoid. It is from this that specific cultural elements can be organised into a functioning cultural system that services optimal and upright ascension. Output of life-constructiveness is vital in the now and throughout the tomorrows to come for this primary people’s security and thriving. Certainly, the recovery of self-knowingness is an immediate first-port-of-call that each soul – from whatever station, level or status - can engage in, grow and apply themselves accordingly for cultured living to be realised.  

Cultured living really equates to civilised living. Likewise, to say, cultural system is to say system of civilisation. Rightfully, Afrikan souls can abandon and secure themselves against destructive pseudo-culture and its systems (or system of being uncivilised). To have been the pioneering builders of superlative civilisation then, is grand inheritance to claim for the self-determined construction of excellent life in the now and in time to come.  Civilisation is not of happenstance.
