What of Cultural vehicles?

The avenues of soul people’s lives that are naturally empowered by their cultural fabric of upright living is vast. Throughout their continuum the outward expression of excellence in everything from art to science and beyond benefited from being energised by their highly cultured core. This primary people’s norm of pinnacle civilisation could not have been fundamentally based on disorder, degradation, dysfunction nor self-destruction. Rather, the oppositional categories of upright order, positive growth, progressive functioning and rightfully ordered self-construction must have been true. Thus, the function and output of their self-determined cultural vehicles served to build and secure their highly civilised lives.

According to the contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural vehicle is given the following definition:

“A cultural vehicle is a piece of art, music, architecture, or language that allows for the transmission of unique, local identifying features and methods of expression. Movies would be a good example of a cultural vehicle. They showcase social ideas, concepts, trends, fashions, politics, etc., and pass them on to large numbers of a population. Books, radio. TV, and newspapers, would be other examples”.

In a state of interruption and disruption, where Afrikan souls may be acutely subject to the ill-vices of others that mean the Afrikan ill, what is the substance of ‘cultural’ vehicles that are made readily accessible? It may well be erroneous to interpret the vehicles in such conditions as being cultural in any wholesome or normal in any Afrikan sense. Rather, Afrikan souls may be set upon or compelled to engage in vehicles of destructive pseudo-cultures pushed, peddled and encouraged by those of ill-intent. In this, whether through art, music, architecture, language or a medium such as film, contaminants that fuel Afrikan demise can be pushed and peddled on a wide scale.

It is therefore, for Afrikan souls themselves to restore, recover, establish and secure their own cultural vehicles of wholesomeness to serve their upright ascension and highly civilised lives. For this, the restoration of self-knowingness and self-determined cultural fabric is key. Necessarily, effort on the part of Afrikan souls themselves from whatever station, level or status, is the conduit for this to be realised.

This pioneering people of culture and civilisation in the first place, surely have the capacity to reveal their maximal potential and maximal capability on their plateau of self-beneficial construction. It would surely be a travesty of abject neglect for this soul people not to bring to the fore the necessary cultural vehicles for their own positive growth and development. Can art, music, film and the like reflect and empower Afrikan civilised living? Surely, they must if Afrikans are to return to their optimal norm. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
