Transcend All Limits

Transcend All Limits  Listen to show The trap was set, the jaws had snapped shut, and the predator was already licking his teeth. By every conventional law of nature, the smaller creature should have surrendered to terror. The options on the table were horrific: roasted over a pine-top bonfire, hanged by the hind legs from a willow branch, or drowned in muddy plantation water. Any one of us facing systemic traps or sudden life crises would immediately cycle through raw panic: the blind rage of becoming Mad, the grief of becoming Sad, or the paralysis of being Scared. Yet, the rabbit pleaded on his knees for every possible death—begging for mercy from only one thing: the thorny, razor-sharp thicket across the ditch. Why would a captive beg his captor to avoid the very torture chamber waiting right in front of him? And more importantly: why do modern, educated Black folks keep screaming in horror at the very environments, histories, and challenges that our ancestors used to master th...

Mind states

Mind states set up life/
They produce thoughts that lead us/
Back from wence they came/
The mind is our tool/weapon that we were given to operate in this world. What are you feeding it? How are you feeding it? Or do you prefer to let others feed it.
The mind gives birth to ideas, those help form attitudes, attitudes create our perceptions, from perception flows our action, which create reactions from the world. This forms the way we interact with the world producing our lifestyles. All these forces work together to form a feed back loop that send information back to the mind starting the whole process over. It is important to understand the power of this process. By changing a small part in this process you can change your whole life. By taking time to change what we feed our mind we change our thoughts, and in changing our thoughts we change our attitude, a changed attitude changes our perception of the world and ourselves, changed perceptions changes our actions, this changes the reactions we receive which in turn changes our life.

By monitoring this process we can make small changes in our life that really can make a difference in our lives. By taking time to monitor what flows into our mind we can take control of what we think. Which is actually the first lesson that initiates had to master in the mystery systems established all over the world. Our ancestors focused on controlling the thoughts because they knew that what a wo/man thought about they were sure to become. Now take some time to see what have you been thinking about in your life. has it been focused thought or just random? Have you thought about what you want in your life, or what you don't want?

Our minds controls the life energy(axe', chi, ki, prana, yao and etc.), and forms it into thoughts. This life force builds up over time and attracts similar energy to itself. This energy can help or hinder us on our path. That is why we need to understand this process and feed our minds properly. We need to monitor it, and go on a mental diet, and in some cases take a mental fast.
In future blogs we will talk about some small steps we can take in SelfMastery that helps move us toward controlling this process. You can also find some hints in past blogs. So join me on this Gye-Nyame Journey.

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
