The Sovereign Breath: Scraping Off the False Self

  The Sovereign Breath: Scraping Off the False Self https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-sovereign-breath-scraping-off-the-false-self--71955071 Have you ever felt crushed by the weight of a story you didn't even write? So many of us are walking through life carrying luggage packed by other people. We let the world's definitions of our culture, our capabilities, and our future dictate how we move. But what if the secret to your ultimate power wasn't found in fighting those definitions, but in simply dropping the bags? Today on the podcast, we visit the ancient wisdom of the Akoban people and a young princess who was taught how to breathe past the ridicule of her peers. We explore the tension between who the world demands you to be and the quiet, sovereign power of who you choose to be. We aren't adding anything new to your plate today; we are taking the heavy things off. Call to Inaction: When the cup is empty, it can finally be filled. Stop pouring your energy into a c...

Gye-Nyame Tribe


Join this blog and join me on this Journey. Also join us at our ning site posted up above. Before I get into the subject that I was scheduled to discuss, I need to announce that Gye-Nyame Tribe is not something you belong to when it is convenient for you. You are either part or not. Either you are helping us build or you are not. I have been part of many organizations that have been destroyed by fringe membership it is ridiculous. There is a process of membership if you have not been through it or are not going through it now you are not in the Tribe. So please do not throw membership up in my face if you are not. The history of this tribe is something that I need to go into so that people can really understand.
Gye-Nyame Tribe is the result of years of work and study of what was going on in our community. It belongs to and owes a lot to several organizations that came before it. I will take you for a brief walk in the history of our tribe so hold on. The beginning of our tribe roots rest with an organization called M.A.C.K which stands for Men acquiring courage and knowledge. This was an organization started on OSU campus around 1989. This organization was developed to try to bridge the gap that I noticed existed between the streets and campus. The goal was to create an organization that would be just as appealing to someone in a college dorm as it would be to someone chilling on the block. M.A.C.K grew rapidly as a matter of fact to rapidly(this could be an adventure novel, and would make a good movie script). To make a long story very short, M.A.C.K was forced underground. For those that can remember for a long time I carried the name MACK 1. This organization is where I got that name. I will not go into detail about the circumstances but it is an interesting and in some ways entertaining and definitely movie worthy. Being forced underground and split, what was left of M.A.C.K became the Underground RailRoad (UGRR), we used pieces of the process from MACK, and started developing our style of ROP (rites of passage)as a matter of fact it was this process and the work the UGRR did that got us noticed on a national level through a documentary called "Making Peace". UGRR continued growing and eventually connected with an organization called the 35th dynasty around this time the UGRR was running a successful food coop and had a powerful partnership with a community church. The UGRR began to separate (another book)and slowly the organization just stop growing and then stopped altogether.
Here was a Pivotal point in the history of our tribe. At this point I was introduced to SIMBA, and from my experience at Simba I formed the GNBC (Gye-Nyame Nation Builders Club), the story of Gye and from their we now have Gye-Nyame Tribe.
Each of these organization were steps that lead to this Tribe, each of these organizations had their process for entering, and just like those organization our process will be respected. If you are from the early years you are more than welcome to join but you still need to go through the membership process, and after you have completed the process(SelfMastery) you can receive the rank you were in or what ever is equal to it in the tribe.
Now to the regularly scheduled Blogs.......

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...
