The Weight of False Loyalty: Stripping Down Ujima

Image
The Weight of False Loyalty: Stripping Down Ujima We’ve been sold a lie wrapped in cultural pride, and it is breaking our backs. For generations, the Black experience in America has glorified obligatory suffering. We’ve been conditioned to wear the titles of "Strong Black Man" and "Strong Black Woman" like badges of honor, when in reality, they are often just heavy yokes of trauma. We take on the "Black Tax," assuming the debts, the drama, and the dysfunction of everyone in our bloodline and our zip code. We mistake trauma-bonding for true tribal building, and it keeps us completely anchored in the lower frequencies of being Mad, Sad, and Scared. Today, we are vibrating on the frequency of Ujima —Collective Work and Responsibility. Bathed in the cool, deep hues of royal and light blue, Ujima is often misunderstood. Folks hear "collective" and immediately start gathering everyone else’s problems, saying "yes" until their own spirit is bo...

Mind states

Illustration depicting thought.Image via Wikipedia
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 Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
