Stop Hoarding Your Chains: Why Innovation Demands the Chisel, Not the Hustle

Image
Let’s stop sugarcoating comfortable cowardice. When you sit in dysfunction, bite your tongue around disrespect, and repeat self-destructive loops, you are not "keeping the peace." You are playing dead. Stagnation is not an unavoidable season—it is an active surrender to the lower emotional triad of Mad, Sad, and Scared . It is trading your divine creative fire for the illusion of safety. The ancestral algorithm for today calls out the bluff: "Stagnation is a choice; I choose the flow of innovation." In the Gye-Nyame system, Kuumba (Creativity) —radiating in the fierce vibration of Orange —is not about running faster on a consumer treadmill or inventing new hustle-culture gimmicks. Real self-mastery operates through via negativa —the sacred discipline of subtraction. You do not discover your greatness by piling more junk onto an overwhelmed spirit; you innovate by cutting away the dead weight. The Kenyan proverb lays the invoice on the table: "Peace is costly, b...

  Under the Stars: Transforming Our Tomorrow with Camping Fundraisers and Soul Growth Camping and growing Peace, Family. Brother ha2tim here, weaving a vision for us—a vision where the great outdoors becomes our classroom, our sanctuary, and our source of strength. As we navigate the concrete jungles of our daily lives, there’s a yearning in our hearts for connection, for peace, and for a space where we can truly grow. Imagine, if you will, a series of camping trips planned with intention and purpose, not just as escapes but as powerful tools for fundraising and personal evolution. This is about tapping into the ancestral wisdom of nature to fuel our journey from merely surviving to thriving, from individual to collective empowerment. Let’s dive into how future camping trips can be the fertile ground for nurturing our community's roots and branches.

Simba Circle Fund Raiser

Image
It is that time of year once again  where we are reaching out to our family and friends to help us keep Simba moving. For those that don't know Simba/Simsa also known as Rescue, Release, and Restore is an organization that has helped hundreds of African- American young men and now ladies go to our summer camp . Their they are not only introduce to the woods, swimming, basketball, and all of the typical camping experiences. They are also introduced to a committed core of adults that interested in their growth, they become part of a family and a nationwide network, they are introduced to Africentric principles as well as other cultures, and for at least 10 days out of the year they are some place safe (Simba Land). In this letter I am including some video footage for those who want more info on Rescue,Release,and Restore and a link to where you can go and donate. Just follow the link and click on the Columbus chapter . Each chapter has to raise a cert...

Warriors/Heroes return

After returning from a successful weekend and being blessed to be on a spiritual high for that weekend. I can not describe the amount of despair I felt returning back to the city. It is hard for a warrior/hero to return back home after their adventure. Why is this? It is hard to return to a world that does not understand you. It is hard to return to this plain reality when you have been a witness to miracles and the true power of the Creator. What all warriors/heroes must understand that our real test is never in the alternate realities that we experience or create, but right here in this world. Our true conflicts are in our homes and neighborhoods. We are allowed these rest periods to give us hope of things to come and to remind us of what we are fighting for. If you look into ancient myths you will see this theme being played over and over again. The heroes of old found it hard to adjust to everyday life when they knew that they have slayed dragons, and witnessed miracles. Not realiz...
In two days we will be out in the woods erecting our village and enjoying our weekend. It will feel good to be able to get away from the city and be surrounded by my fam. The goal now is to find away to have at least six trips a year. The idea is to use a different site each time. we are starting with deercreek, but believe me as soon as we get back we will be arranging for another trip in another State park. Ohio is beautiful, and I think that our Tribe would benefit by going out and exploring the different sites first in Ohio and then eventually begin to move out into the midwest. Why have we decided to use the Camping trips as fundraisers? 1. They are fun 2. gives the tribe a chance to come together outside the city (which is by the way the first step in ROP, Seperation) 3. Gives people outside the Tribe an opportunity to experience Gye-Nyame 4. It is not to expensive to do (our first trip we charged $25 per person for 2 days) 5. we can bring our whole family 6. It is a mini family...

Erecting a village

This the beginning of something new in my journey. I have planned for this camping trip for 3 years and it is finally happening. I am proud of my tribe for helping making dreams come true. The strangest thing is that it happened with out me consciously focusing on it. I wrote the idea down, and presented the idea to a few agencies and none of them took me up on it. To be honest with you I just forgot. Time passed and i started developing the Tribe (story to come soon), and we were presented with a series of opportunities that lead us to a place where we could purchase exactly what was on my list 3 years ago. Although the camping trip did not have the same name it did maintain the essence. This just goes to prove that when you put something in the universe it happens. It might not come about the way that you want it but it does come about. We just have to be open enough to recognize it. So my challenge to all those who may read this, step back explore your life and see what projects or ...
