What of Cultural Testing?

In their norm of optimal flourishing, It would surely have been strange if the primary people of creation harboured general doubt amongst themselves as to whether their shared cultural norm was in place. Void of their shared cultural norm the excellence of optimal flourishing could not have been realised in the first place. The greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist necessarily required this people to live their highly cultured lives of rightfully ordered ascension. In this, cultivation of the self throughout its various levels was inherently catered for from generation to generation. As their structures of growth, learning, development and progressive engagement were exercised levels of testing could be employed to assess the success for passage of rite and the like.  

According to a mainstream contemporary source testing is given the following meaning:

“a way of discovering, by questions or practical activities, what someone knows, or what someone or something can do or is like”.

Another mainstream source offers the following description in terms of cultural testing as it would relate to a company and its recruitment process:

“Running a cultural assessment test helps to determine whether a candidate’s core values align with your company's ones. It evaluates an individual’s characteristics, language, and values and takes stock of whether they align with that promoted within the company. When a candidate’s values, beliefs, outlook, and behaviour are compatible with those existing within the company, he or she is likely to be very compatible within your organisation and compatible within the company’s specific company culture”.

In relation to Afrikan souls, Afrikan culture would naturally have to be in place for the self to be aware of their own level of knowingness of it, or what they are genuinely like through its engagement.  With self-knowingness can come an upright level of self-testing as souls hold up the mirror of self-reflection to cultivated living and constructive progress. However, in a state of interruption and disruption such self-testing can suffer acutely where Afrikan culture is destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill. If void of wholesome cultural knowingness and engagement, then souls are left without the substance for any meaningful self-assessment in this regard. Compounding disorder, others of ill may push and peddle a destructive pseudo-culture to fill the void and subsequently ‘test’ in such a way as to engender compliance. Self-destructively, susceptible souls consumed with the contaminants of pseudo-cultural ills may engage in such ‘testing’ by proxy wastefully haemorrhaging all manner of effort and resource to do so.

Here, learning and development is key to restoring a level of self-knowingness and upright cultural engagement from which assessments of self can be usefully applied in service for ascension of rightful order. ‘Testing’ to encourage the furtherance of contaminants of ill or to fuel self- destructive wrongdoing - directly or by proxy - ought to be safeguarded against.

This primary people of creation can – and surely must – lift themselves to the challenge and ace the ultimate divine test for the restoration of their highly civilised living and optimal flourishing.  Civilisation is not of happenstance.
