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

There is no doubt that Afrikan souls throughout the ages had constructed all of the necessary establishments of cultural function required for their optimal flourishing. As their norm of pinnacle civilisation thrived, so too did their cultural establishments that serviced highly civilised living. Necessarily, cultured life of rightful order held structure and cultural establishments were vital representatives of that structure.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural structure carries the following meaning:

“A community cultural structure refers to the social and cultural organisations and institutions that exist within a community”.

Given this, it would then be logical to conclude that void of adequate social and cultural organisations and establishments of rightful order for the fullest flourishing of Afrikan souls, community cultural structure is positioned at a deficit.

Unfortunately, in a state of interruption and disruption Afrikan culture, Afrikan community and the Afrikan norm of cultural structure may be subject to acute forms of destruction or denial at the hands of others that mean the Afrikan ill. In this, Afrikan souls may not be void of ‘structure’ as others may attempt to impose ‘structure’ upon this soul people to exclusively service the endeavours of those others. Meanwhile, the Afrikan is left neglectful or in abandonment of necessary upright Afrikan construction. Worse yet, imposed ‘structures’ may be of destructive pseudo-cultural intent laden with contaminants of ill. Here, susceptible souls may succumb to others of ill condemning self-community by proxy, denying self-community by proxy, or destroying self-community by proxy. It is a dire travesty to state the least that negative efforts to fuel any descent towards the doom of Afrikan souls is given ‘structure’ that attracts adherence.

Clearly, it is Afrikan souls who ought to determine cultural structure for themselves based on the recovery of self-knowingness and the restoration of their cultured living. If this soul people are to lift themselves into optimality of rightful order, fullest flourishing and continual upright ascension the fundamental base of their lives ought not be ignored, neglected, derailed nor abandoned.  

Let us exchange the phrase: cultural structure, for the term: structure of civilisation, to perhaps provide greater emphasis on the importance of building and operating appropriate and functional establishments for Afrikan cultural service.  Afrikan souls from whatever station, level or status can make an upright step of progress to restore, secure and uplift themselves in this regard. Surely, this pioneering and primary people of creation recover their rightful norm of brilliancy. Civilisation is not of happenstance.
