Stop Hustling for Ghosts: The Radical Art of Subtracting Your Way to Purpose Ha2ku by ha2tim: Strip the heavy weight, Burn noise of false desire, Purpose shines in peace. Peace and blessings on this powerful day of Nia (Purpose) , vibrating in the radiant, golden energy of Yellow . Today, we pull the emergency brake on the cultural noise and align our spirits with the divine intent that burns away confusion, self-doubt, and generational programming. Let’s get real about what we’ve been handed. In the Gye-Nyame Journey system, when we talk about Purpose, we aren't talking about slapping another line item onto your resume or grinding until your body breaks down at 2:00 AM. That isn't purpose—that’s modern-day servitude wrapped in a motivational quote. For generations across this land, our people have been tricked into believing that identity is validated by corporate titles, status symbols, and how thoroughly exhausted we are by Friday night.

I was thinking about the term rites of passage and I have come to the conclusion that the title is wrong for the work that I am doing. Rites of Passage is a term that was developed from a world view that was shaped through anthropology. this is a science that strives to look at human activity from an outside perspective. when I look at something from an objective view I can never truly get out of the process what is meant. truly when we look at what people were doing in this process we have mislabeled as ROP we see that they were transmitting information that promoted the growth of the society that it came from. so we have a process that is involved with two things. first I am introducing you to the roles and responsibilities of the new position you would be taking in the society. on the deeper level I was introducing you to a new part of yourself that was unknonw to you. I label this the Self mastery process.Although most societies use the over all process to maintain the status quo, for some of the participants a new way of seeing the world was unleashed. the participants would be introduced to the myths and rituals that would plug them into a power that would trancend this reality and send them on a life time journey to change the society from what it is to the ideal developd in the legends and myths. these few individuals would in a sense become the archetype of the society and begin a quest to bring new life.(information) to the group that would force growth and expand the world view of the group/society. by intorducing the new these indivduals would end up going throught the trials of the ancient architype and through there suffering elevate the society to a new level. this is a process of Self discovery and mastery.
