What of Cultural Continuity?

It surely goes without saying that the primary people of creation in their establishment of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist held continuity in their highly cultured lives. Each generation to the next necessarily inherited their core of cultural empowerment from which they could continue: upright construction, development, growth, security and otherwise vast panoramic span of outwardly expressed brilliancy.  Cultural continuity does not only relate to time it is also a naturally shared quality reflected across places. With Afrikan souls, core cultural fabric at the most rooted levels contains the fundamental feature of oneness in the way of this soul people wherever located in the world.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural continuity is described thus:

“Cultural continuity is the ability to preserve the historical traditions of a culture and carry them forward with that culture into the future, and it is closely linked to the concept of cultural identity. Cultural identity has a major influence on our confidence and self-esteem”.

In relation to Afrikan souls, this definition highlights some of the vital characteristics of their cultural continuum. For example, it is crucial for this people to know who and what they because of – amongst much else - its major influence on confidence and esteem. Yet, in a time of interruption and disruption where all manner of mis-identity, confusion-of-identity or denial-of-identity can be pushed and peddled by others that mean the Afrikan ill, cultural continuity can acutely suffer. The result of soul people being void of confidence in themselves or void of esteem in themselves would be a dire undesirable way to exist to state the least. Unless of course, one takes the view of those bent on Afrikan destruction who relish the thought of Afrikan demise.

The highlighted example of identity of Afrikan souls is a vital port-of-call in the imperative restoration process of this primary people’s cultural continuum. Indeed, only Afrikan souls can restore the knowingness of who and what they are and secure their own continuity. So, despite the efforts of ill to derail Afrikan souls from knowingness of themselves and the peddling of concocted arrays of pseudo-identities for Afrikan consumption – this people surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves for self-recovery and self-preservation.

It is also true that historical traditions inherently require historical knowingness to be returned to empowered realisation in Afrikan life. Again, the onus is firmly fixed on the shoulders of Afrikan souls themselves to engage in levels of historical recovery for their forward and upright progression. Key here is self-determined study, learning and growth – not for its own sake – but for constructive and highly civilised living to be revealed. Civilisation is not of happenstance.
