Remembering a Great Hero

Throughout their journeying, Afrikan souls have developed their authentic cultured way of being in exceptional ways (creatively restored or otherwise) in order to realise their fullest flourishing and security. This is true regardless of where Afrikan souls stand in the world on the physical plain. As a part of that development cultural synthesis can be an important feature, where Afrikan souls blend the best of their highly civilised norms to realise a collective core cohesiveness in service of their optimality.
This can be especially true in a state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere may be destructively set upon and pushed into this area or that with the intent they provide exclusive profit and/or pleasure to others of ill. In this, Afrikan souls have their ageless brilliancy that can be employed to realise self-determined cultural synthesis for their empowerment.
According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term cultural synthesis attracts the following detail:
“Cultural synthesis is the process where aspects of different cultures blend to create a new, unified culture, often resulting in innovative traditions or practices. Historically, cultural synthesis occurs through migration, trade, or colonisation, enabling societies to share ideas, languages, and customs”.
In whatever locale the Afrikan stands, with learning, development and the engagement of cultural synthesis that represents their natural core level of shared oneness, soul people can transform their lives with a common thrust of rightful ascension. At the same time, they can turn any imposed vices of fragmentation and division amongst each themselves from a conflicting posture of ‘versus’ to one of a harmonising ‘and’.
An exceptional and historic example of cultural synthesis is to be found in the pioneering work of brilliancy that gave rise to the Nguzo Saba and the cultural observance of Kwanzaa from which it comes. With their authentic culture (creatively restored or otherwise) Afrikan souls need not wastefully squabble with each other over tertiary cultural aesthetics or which sheer survival ‘culture’ or even pseudo-culture is better than the next. Rather, Afrikan souls can engage with their fundamental and core shared cultural substance of oneness.
The great hero Omowale Malcolm X did exceptional work to bring Afrikan souls into their natural oneness of being here, there and elsewhere. As one source informatively describes it:
“Malcolm called for Black people to engage in a cultural revolution to recondition, recreate, and reconstruct themselves in the aftermath of generations of cultural and mental assaults on Black people's individual and collective sense of self”.
Self-determined cultural synthesis gave the Afrikan world community the principles of Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity and Faith. Surely engagement by the Afrikan in their own set of authentic values and observances of shared oneness is essential progression for a whole people. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
