Celebrating the Harvest of All-Year-Round Cultivated Effort for Upright Ascension

It would nonsensical to conceive of Afrikan souls having barriers or blockages to access their own culture in their natural state of optimal flourishing. Certainly, this pioneering people of superlative civilisation could be that as a result of the empowerment from their highly cultured norm.

Yet twistedly, in a state of interruption and disruption this soul people could be faced with much by way of concocted and imposed obstacles to deter them from their life’s core of fullest empowerment. Here, others that mean the Afrikan ill may set traps of derailment via psuedo-cultural impositions in the attempt the keep this soul people in a less-than optimal state or worse.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural barrier is detailed in the following way:

“People who live in various cultures and historical epochs communicate differently and have different patterns of thought. A Cultural barrier in communication occurs mainly when communication happens between two different cultural backgrounds”.

For the Afrikan in a period of disruption, the immediate challenge in relation to a cultural barrier may well be to live in accordance with their own culture for their optimal empowerment and flourishing. Intimately, there can be discord and conflict between the imposed contaminants of a pseudo-culture and authentic cultural reclamation and engagement.

A truncated and imposed background of pseudo-culture pushed and peddled in which to incarcerate the Afrikan is oppositional to the natural upright core of living that reveals highly civilised self-determined life. In this sense, the barriers are induced within the self.

Despite the challenges, it is only Afrikan souls that can purge and safeguard themselves of contaminants of a psuedo-cultural existence and restore their highly cultured norm.   Dire states of internal conflict at the level of their cultural core will surely see that same conflict expressed outwardly in their lives. In other words, the battle between pseudo-culture and an upright cultured norm can present contradictions that can be amplified thwarting vital construction of rightful order.

This primary people of creation who have build the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever known surely have duty and responsibility to themselves to restore knowingness of themselves and their own culture to absolve themselves of disorder and internal conflict at the level of their cultural core. Barriers to their own highly cultured way of life ought to be torn down never to return.

Starkly put, a cultural barrier to their own way of life is a blockage to civilised living and indeed civilisation. And of course, civilisation is not of happenstance.
