What of Cultural Expectations?

What did Afrikan souls expect of their self-determined lives throughout the ages? Highly cultured living was most certainly a natural expectation and a fundamental mainstay with all of the grand achievements of excellence that it brings. These souls did not look in their mirror of themselves and have low expectations from whom they saw reflected. Rather, their expectations of pinnacle order matched their outcomes of their superlative civilisations. Indeed, as optimal civilisation flourished one may say that such grandeur was no less than expected of themselves.  

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural expectation attracts the following definition:

“Cultural expectations are the messages we internalise about what is and is not acceptable, given the standards of behaviour and cultural norms put forth by our social systems. These messages live deep in our subconscious, yet they affect our judgment and how we react to certain situations”.

What is deemed a cultural expectation can usefully be deemed as an expectation of civilisation. Thus, the messages of what is and is not acceptable for Afrikan souls relate to their highly civilised norms. Here, the standards of behaviour and their social order is of the civilised living they determine to be. This is not least because the messages of expectation that naturally reside deeply in the Afrikan subconscious are of their optimal state of fullest flourishing civilisation.

Outside of normality however, Afrikan souls may find themselves plunged into a state of interruption and disruption. Set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the highly civilised norms of this soul people can be subject to intense destructive imposition. In such a dire conundrum the internal messages held and their outward behaviours can become acutely distorted. Pseudo-cultural vices of contamination and destruction can be pushed and peddled into the message repository of self and then outwardly expressed as a self-destructive consequence.  In this, a descriptor of low-expectation is a position of best levelling. It may be more apt to use the description of expectation of self-doom.

Surely, Afrikan souls ought to have the highest possible expectations of themselves informed through the restoration of self-knowingness and their highly civilised norms. It is for this soul people themselves to undertake such an imperative endeavour for themselves from whatever station, level or status. Certainly, low expectations or expectations of doom ought to be purged and safeguarded against thus avoiding any outward behaviours that could mirror any such dire internal message of interference.

Messages of upright construction and ascension internalised and expressed will surely reveal the naturally progressive norms of this primary people of creation.  Can the Afrikan again judge their reality in term of civilisation progress? Can the Afrikan again react to less-than optimal states with building for the elevation and security of themselves? Only this soul people can answer such questions in the affirmative through their self-determined deeds of upright brilliancy. Civilisation is not of happenstance.
