What of Cultural Consistency?

The dynamic and organic nature of Afrikan cultural fabric is such that it empowers the realisation of the maximal potential and capability for this soul people in whatever time, place or condition. In this, consistency is vital, for the norm of optimality is to secured throughout this people’s living. Hence, their establishment of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist were brought into glorious fruition.  

In the contemporary era, the term cultural consistency has been utilised to discuss operations within the sphere of particular institutions. In this regard, a mainstream source offers the following detail:

“Consistency in organisational culture refers to the alignment and adherence to shared values, beliefs, and principles within an organisation. It is the degree to which employees consistently exhibit behaviour that is in line with the organisation's cultural norms and expectations”.

In respect of Afrikan life the above description can usefully be translated to specifically relate to soul people as a whole thus:

“Consistency in Afrikan culture refers to the alignment and adherence to shared values, beliefs, and principles within Afrikan society. It is the degree to which each Afrikan soul consistently exhibits behaviour that is in line with their society’s cultural norms and expectations”.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption, Afrikan souls may be subject to intense levels of destructive imposition by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Here, Afrikan life may be plagued with cultural contradiction rather than cultural consistency.

Another contemporary mainstream source details cultural contradiction in the following way:

“Cultural contradiction refers to the tension or conflict between different cultural values, beliefs, or practices within a society”.

If disrupted, it is the tension or conflict between wholesome Afrikan cultural substance and the destructive ills of imposed pseudo-culture with which the Afrikan has to contend. Certainly, the degree to which Afrikan souls engage in their imperative thrust of upright cultural restoration and ascension is the degree to which the contradictions are revealed. For some susceptible souls this can be a point of reckoning where a decision to wave the flag of surrender and succumb to the destructive ills may be deemed compelling. Of course, others that mean the Afrikan ill rub their hands with glee at such a prospect.

It is only Afrikan souls themselves that can realise their own cultural steadfastness and remain consistent for their recovery and fullest flourishing. It is in the best interests of Afrikan souls to avoid the denial, slighting, diminishing, sidelining or derailment of their own culture. Such disorderly activity is tantamount to this people thwarting their own empowerment for optimality.

To put it another way, cultural consistency is civilised consistency. If Afrikan souls become defeated by the contradictions of ill then surely being uncivilised is the inevitable result. Instead, this pragmatic people of highly civilised normality naturally hold a duty and responsibility to themselves for the upright construction in and of their lives. Civilisation is not of happenstance.
