  The Creative Fire of Active Faith https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-creative-fire-of-active-faith--72224195 What if your faith isn't working because you're carrying too much baggage to actually move? We talk a good game about believing in our traditional greatness, but we keep our hands full of corporate clutter, false narratives, and old habits that don't serve our destination. We want the brightness of innovation, yet we cling tightly to the safety of our stagnation. Today, on this day of Kuumba, we look through the red lens of Imani and confront a heavy tension: the universal truth that some folks simply don't believe fat meat is greasy until they slip. Are you waiting for a miracle to drop into a cluttered house, or are you ready to clear space for the fire to burn? The power isn't in what you add to your day—it's in what you choose to release. Call to Inaction "What does not strengthen should be released, for it is a false treasure." Before y...

Respecting Your Journey: The Essence of Self-Mastery

Respecting Your Journey: The Essence of Self-Mastery

Haiku by ha2tim

No one will respect/
What is yours, more than you do/
What do you respect?/


Greetings, family! Brother ha2tim here, weaving the tapestry of our journey towards Self-Mastery. Today's Ha2ku reflects a profound truth: the level of respect we command for what's ours begins with how much we respect it ourselves. Let's delve into understanding and nurturing this self-respect, a cornerstone in our quest for personal growth and empowerment.

Embracing Self-Respect in the Path of Self-Mastery:

  1. Recognizing Your Value: The journey starts with acknowledging your worth. Understand that the unique blend of your talents, experiences, and aspirations is invaluable. Respect for self is the first step in commanding respect from the world.

  2. Honoring Your Efforts and Achievements: Every step you take in your journey of growth deserves recognition. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small, and learn from your setbacks. Respect your journey for its courage and persistence.

  3. Guarding Your Time and Energy: Time and energy are your most precious resources. Respect them by investing in activities and relationships that nurture your growth and align with your values.

  4. Setting Boundaries with Love: Respect is also about setting healthy boundaries. It means saying no to what doesn't serve you and yes to what propels you towards your higher self.

  5. Expressing Your Truth: Your voice and perspective are important. Respect yourself by expressing your truth authentically and confidently.

  6. Nurturing Your Passions and Dreams: The things you are passionate about aren’t just hobbies; they are extensions of your essence. Respect your dreams by giving them the attention and effort they deserve.

  7. Contributing to Your Community: Respect extends beyond self. It involves how you engage with and contribute to your community. Recognize the power of your actions in shaping the world around you.


What do you respect? This question isn't just a reflection; it's a call to action. It's a reminder that respecting our journey, our growth, and our community starts with us. In our pursuit of Self-Mastery, let's carry this respect as our shield and badge of honor. As always, for those who wish to explore these concepts further and connect with like-minded individuals, join our free e-course at FreeGNJEcourse.com or follow us on Telegram @GNJTribe. Together, let's respect our journey and uplift our community.

How to pour Libations

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...
