Celebrating the Harvest of All-Year-Round Cultivated Effort for Upright Ascension

Certainly, it is of vital importance for Afrikan souls to secure their own way of life. Naturally, it is Afrikan souls who have determined culture for themselves to uniquely realise their maximal potential and capability. Having established the great and most enduring civilisations ever to exist, it is this soul people who have secured culture for themselves with longevity to match. Yet, surely as Afrikan souls live into eternity their means of optimal flourishing ought to live with them and be secured accordingly.

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

“Cultural security is a philosophy and a way of operating that ensures all individuals and groups are treated with regard to their unique cultural needs and differences. It assumes the right to difference and calls for interactions that do not diminish, demean or disempower individuals on the basis of any perceived or actual difference”.

What of cultural security in state of interruption and disruption? Even a cursory examination of the destructive actions of others that mean the ill highlight the intent to diminish, demean and disempower the Afrikan and thwart Afrikan culture (or worse). With ill-intent, the Afrikan was to be set upon and the cultural needs of this primary people disregarded.

Despite the challenges of imposition, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can reclaim, restore and secure their cultural fabric and uprightly lift themselves from undesirable conditions. Wallowing in cultureless degradation, or, perpetuating the ills of imposed disorder by proxy ought to be abandoned. At the same, souls can do themselves a great service by safeguarding the self from contaminants of ill.

See, in securing their culture the Afrikan is securing their civilised living. Clearly, civilisation is naturally built and secured. Therefore, each soul from whatever station, level or status can effect upright progress in this regard.

Will Afrikan souls secure themselves, their way of life and the civilisations they build throughout the eternity to come? A look into the mirror of themselves and the quality of their imperative thrust for ascension of rightful order will surely determine the answer.
