What of Cultural Deprivation?

Imagine the primary people of creation being deprived of their own culture! What a notion of travesty! Had this been so throughout the ages their light of brilliancy would not have shone with to realise the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Fortunately, this was not the case and Afrikan souls lived their highly cultivated life to build superlatively and realise a vast panorama of excellent results throughout the spheres of their life expressions.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption, Afrikan souls may be subject to cultural deprivation. Here, others that mean the Afrikan ill may destructively set upon Afrikan life to deny, thwart or derail this soul people’s norm of self-determined cultured excellence and empowerment.

According to a contemporary mainstream source the term cultural deprivation attracts the following meaning:

“Cultural deprivation is a theory in sociology where a person has inferior norms, values, skills and knowledge”.

Any such state for the pioneering people of culture and civilisation is abject abnormality to state the least. Deprivation of their highly cultured norm would could not only deny optimal living but could also fuel self-destructive outcomes. For soul people, their norms of self, values of self, skills and knowledge for the security and ascension of themselves are vital phenomenon. These core life areas are both of pinnacle excellence and inherently of upright functionality for the Afrikan.  

Despite the challenges, the onus is (and can only be) on Afrikan souls to absolve themselves of any cultural deprivation and restore themselves to their highly cultured norm. To highlight the level of significance of this, consider that cultural deprivation is tantamount to being deprived of being civilised – indeed, being deprived of civilisation.

So, what is the Afrikan to do? What will the Afrikan do? Well, perhaps, the actioning of words such as restoration, reconnection and revitalisation in respect of self-determined cultured living and excellence can be brought to life’s fore in ways that nullify deprivation of culture and transform Afrikan life to engage in its ageless and upright path of continual ascension.  Perhaps, ‘can’ ought to be ‘must’ as civilisation is not of happenstance.
