Stop Begging for an Invite: How to Cleanse the False Code and Claim Your Throne Other people’s opinions about you don’t hold weight unless you sign the check and cash their delusion. Pull up a chair on the porch. Drop your shoulders away from your ears, send that breath all the way down into your belly, and plant your feet flat on the earth. Today is Tuesday, September 8, 2026, vibrating under the sovereign frequency of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) , bathed in the royal depth of Indigo. The diagnostic algorithm of the ancestors does not bend: "I name myself, I define myself, and I speak for myself." From the second you arrive here, a cultural matrix runs in the background. It’s engineered to name you before you can crawl, stick you in a demographic box before you can speak, and hand you a script written by systems that have zero love for your soul. You get trained to run on blame, shame, and guilt—living in a chronic state of Mad, Sad, and Scared . You become an actor in...

African folktales - The man who never lied.

The importance of stories on the Journey can not be stressed i have developed a simple work sheet that you can use to focus on the lessons that you get from the stories I will be posting.

Now check out the wisdom in the story.

Once upon a time there lived a wise man by the name of Mamad. He never lied. All the people in the land, even the ones who lived twenty days away, knew about him.

The king heard about Mamad and ordered his subjects to bring him to the palace. He looked at the wise man and asked:

" Mamad, is it true, that you have never lied?"

" It's true."

"And you will never lie in your life?"

" I'm sure in that."

"Okay, tell the truth, but be careful! The lie is cunning and it gets on your tongue easily."

Several days passed and the king called Mamad once again. There was a big crowd: the king was about to go hunting. The king held his horse by the mane, his left foot was already on the stirrup. He ordered Mamad:

"Go to my summer palace and tell the queen I will be with her for lunch. Tell her to prepare a big feast. You will have lunch with me then."

Mamad bowed down and went to the queen. Then the king laughed and said:

"We won't go hunting and now Mamad will lie to the queen. Tomorrow we will laugh on his behalf."

But the wise Mamad went to the palace and said:

"Maybe you should prepare a big feast for lunch tomorrow, and maybe you shouldn't. Maybe the king will come by noon, and maybe he won't."

"Tell me will he come, or won't he?" - asked the queen.

"I don't know weather he put his right foot on the stirrup, or he put his left foot on the ground after I left."

Everybody waited for the king. He came the next day and said to the queen:

"The wise Mamad, who never lies, lied to you yesterday."

But the queen told him about the words of Mamad. And the king realized, that the wise man never lies, and says only that, which he saw with his own eyes.
