The Heavy Lift of Authenticity: Why True Liberation Demands Your Own Labor https://www.spreaker.com/episode/carry-your-own-water--72500230 Let’s stop playing polite. We live in an era where everyone wants the refreshing taste of victory, but nobody wants to walk the miles to the well to get it. We’ve become comfortable, spoiled by a society that hands us pre-packaged conveniences, algorithms that think for us, and spaces that insulate us from the beautiful, necessary discomfort of growth. But here is the hard truth we have to face as a people: Originality don’t come from normal. If you are looking at the state of the world and feeling mad, sad, or scared about where we are heading, the remedy isn’t begging for a sip from someone else’s cup. The remedy is self-mastery. In this episode of Gye-Nyame Journey Radio, we break down an ancient truth that will shake up your entire paradigm: Once you carry your own water, you remember every drop. Think about it. When you have to carry a heavy-as...

Truth about ROP

Seperation from/

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.

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 “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...
