How AH! Defines Recovery
Cultural Recovery is an act, instance, process, or period of recovering a return to get back, (Sankofa: a Ghanaian term for going back in order to move forward), restore oneself to a natural state, to regain. It is defined as understanding the past in order to move forward. Recovery, in terms of AH!, is defined as obtaining physical, spiritual and mental balance. | | We believe that family history helps current generations discover information about their biological and social lineages. Family history is simply Genealogy---the study of family history, and for some it is a great past time and then there are those who are not interested in their family history for one reason or another. And whether this is the case or not, it does not diminish the genetic flow of "Family," in other words family cannot be "cut off" only in a conscious sense, not in a spiritual or physical sense. To cut off family is as if the thumb is removed from the hand, and the hand may perform without the thumb, which is replaced with an artificial joint; the hand is then perceived to be whole. This analogy points to deception in perception, as family members are perceived based on what is known of their external experiences and other family members. These perceptions generate thoughts and thoughts are actions waiting to be birthed, thoughts are limited when cultural identity is an issue or for reasons beyond control, biological families are not known, and there is a reason for that which will be discussed at one of our upcoming forums. Some family discoveries are positive and some are not. However, today the term "ancestor" is being used liberally among a number of venues and educational institutions. Therefore, AH! believes that Recovery is to learn from our past and Cultural Recovery is to respect the differences of others when we do not understand! |
