What of Cultural Conditioning?

What has been the normal conditions for Afrikan souls throughout the ages? Even a cursory glance at the continuum of this primary people reveals pioneering and highly cultured excellence. This being so – and by extension - the prevalent conditions of normality determined by these souls for themselves was that of pinnacle civilisation. Here, the surroundings they brought to be through upright brilliancy of effort reflected, reinforced and further empowered their optimal and constructive living of rightful order. Indeed, the more their highly cultured core was outwardly expressed, the more they became energised to become outwardly expressive of their brilliancy.

In the contemporary era the term cultural conditioning has been used to describe aspects of the relationship between surroundings and life expression. A mainstream source offers the following detail:  

“Cultural conditioning is a process through which we absorb and interpret the influences, norms, and messaging from our environment and translate them into what we believe to be acceptable behaviours”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption Afrikan souls may be subject to the destructive impositions of an environment dominated and controlled by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Afrikan souls may become the ‘citizens’ of surroundings riddled with destructive pseudo-cultural content laced with a barrage of ill-contaminants. Were such conditions to take hold and become absorbed to the point they were erroneously considered to be the ‘norm’ by Afrikan souls, the outwardly expressed behaviours deemed ‘acceptable’ could be acutely damaging to Afrikan life to state the least. This is a far cry and vilely oppositional to their natural norm of the rightful self-conditioning circumstances prevalent with this soul people from the earliest of times.

It is surely not enough for Afrikan souls to simply be aware of the challenges and leave it at that. Albeit that awareness can be considered to be a vital first-port-of-call. Securing the self from destructive imposition is key. Yet, in cultural terms, security lies within the restoration of self-determined civilised living and the establishment of wholesome and uprightly empowering environments that – in turn – compliment and further energise rightful living for continual and constructive ascension. From awareness to building and beyond, the recovery of self-knowingness remains indispensable and each soul from whatever station, level or status can surely make an effort to learn, develop and grow in this regard.

The truism of the Afrikan highly civilised norm can – and surely must – be returned to the lives of this soul people. These pioneering builders of greatest and most enduring civilisations that have ever existed, hold within their own make-up and experience the capacity to construct superlatively again. The condition that civilisation requires upright effort of order remains ever-unchanging.
