What of Cultural Power?

The powerfulness of Afrikan souls throughout the ages is legendary. Well, at least if one holds even a cursory level of knowingness of the Afrikan continuum this is true. Yet, with all the grand feats of powerfully expressed phenomena serving their norm of pinnacle civilisation: in governance, nationhood, security, creative expression and so on – their cultural power remained seated in centrality. This core of immense power naturally allowed this primary people of creation to realise their optimal potential and capability to reveal their highly civilised constructions and expressions. Each level of the Afrikan self would be a unit of cultured power that serves to amplify their self-determined cultured order and rightfulness of living across their lands.

 According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural power holds the following meaning:

“Cultural power lends itself to social power that influences people's lives by controlling the prevailing norms or rules and making individuals adhere to the dominant culture voluntarily or involuntarily”.

Of course, this sort of definition may lend itself to being a description of imposition in state of interruption and disruption. Subject to the imposition of others that mean the Afrikan ill Afrikan cultural power can be destructively set upon. Here, the core culture of others to dominate is preserved for their own empowerment whilst Afrikan souls may be subject to being shoehorned into dire realms of a pseudo-cultural existence pushed and peddled by the same other. Here, a dominant culture of destructive ill, does not allow the Afrikan to assume their ‘culture’ overlordship, for that could be a direct challenge to their rule of disfunction. Rather, an alternative ‘culture’ is concocted to render the Afrikan less-than optimal, and in exclusive and perpetual service to others. At the same time the Afrikan can be compelled to be neglectful (or even destructive to) the Afrikan self.  

Surely then, it is vital that Afrikan souls recover a level of self-knowingness and restore their cultural power whereby they can recover rightful order for their ascension. With their norm of cultural powerfulness, Afrikan souls can amplify uprightness for their fullest flourishing whilst necessarily amplifying security against contaminants of ill. Indeed, with their cultural power Afrikan souls can enact the types of self-control that avoid self-destructive wrongdoings and enable their maximal ascent as a people whole.

This pioneering people of culture and civilisation have the natural capacity to restore the upright powerfulness of their culture – and surely they must. For, civilisations are built, secured and enduringly flourish accordingly. They are not of happenstance.
