  The Three Stones of Brilliance: Scraping Off the Aimless Path https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-three-stones-of-brilliance-scraping-off-the-aimless-path--71207121 Is Your Life Toppling Over? We’ve all been there—working ourselves to the bone, yet feeling like we’re just spinning our wheels in the mud. We call it "the grind," but sometimes it feels more like a slow descent into aimlessness. The Kikongo people of Central Africa have a secret for us: a pot needs exactly three stones to stay steady. Not one, not two, and definitely not a pile of pebbles. If you feel like you’re "wandering," it might not be because you lack a map. It might be because you’re carrying too many stones that don't belong to your fire. We’re talking about the "Program of Depression" and how to flip the script to a "Mission of Brilliance." But here’s the catch: you can’t "do" your way into purpose. You have to "stop" your way into it. Call to Ina...

Daily Toast- Kujichagulia 52171 "The Hood Trap"

Peace FAM:
Today we toast the mighty principle of Kujichagulia. So lift your glass and let's call our ancestors home to stand by our side, in this battle for our Culture and eventually our nation. Unfortunately we have no homes to call them to, because many of us are inhabitants of a danger zone called the "hood". Many of us take pride in our ability to exist in miserable conditions, and we have narrowed the Black experience down to hoodism.
The ability to define is the power that separates us from the beast of the field, but since we have not snatched this power back from those that would use toward our demise we exist in a unhealthy state. Man through time has been able to rise above his environment, and shape it to his liking. Unfortunately we missed this in our study of culture. We have allowed our enemies to define us and we have let our environment shape. Leaving us with the cancerous idea of the hood. Men through the shaping of environment form villages and communities. Environments and circumstances that shape men give birth to hoods. A hood is simply a collection of people who have not activated their Kujichagulia. Checkout the video and see if this truly applies to us

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...

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...
