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

There is nothing naturally impoverished about the lives of Afrikan souls in their norm of pinnacle civilisation. Evidences of material luxuries shared amongst this people, even from a cursory glance at their history continuum, are readily accessible. Yet, what of the way of life at the core of any material or outward physical expression? Well, as these souls determined such pioneering excellence in the construction and flourishing of grand civilisation, their cultural wealth was necessarily of immense wealth to deliver their superlative physical realities.

A contemporary mainstream source describes cultural wealth in the following way:  

“Cultural wealth: an array of knowledge, skills, abilities and experiences that are learned and. shared by a group of people; The values and behaviours that are nurtured through culture work. together to create a way of knowing and being”.

Here, learning and knowingness does not exist to ‘escape’ reality but to meaningfully inform it or meaningfully determine it to be. Which, when applied to Afrikan souls in a state of interruption and disruption makes the array of knowledge, skills, abilities and experiences of critical importance for their recovery, restoration and upright ascension.

Despite the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill, to deny Afrikan cultural wealth, this is wealth that this primary people ought never be without. Indeed, it is from this core that material wealth of self-economy function is established, developed and secured – all in service of their highly civilised norm.

This soul people who pioneered culture and civilisation into being can – and surely must – create a way of knowing and being to realise their maximal potential and maximal capabilities for their optimal civilised norm to prevail. Each soul from whatever station, level or status can make an upright step of progress in this regard. At the same time, efforts to safeguard the self from cultural impoverishment, abandonment, denial, suppression, derailment and the like remain key. In other words, it is key to secure the self against impoverishment of civilised being, abandonment of civilised being, denial of civilised being, suppression of civilised being, derailment of civilised being and the like. Indeed, cultural impoverishment can be a wide-open and welcoming invitation to uncivilised existence.

So then, what will the Afrikans learn of and for themselves for realisation of their cultural wealth? Certainly, learning has function and service and civilisation is not of happenstance.
