The Fist and the Scorpion: Unlocking True Umoja

Image
  The Thumb insisted nothing could be held down without his weight. The Index Finger swore he was the leader because he points the way. The Middle Finger looked down upon everyone because he stood tallest. The Ring Finger flaunted his jewelry, and the Little Finger claimed he alone knew the secrets whispered in dark corners. Individually, they were extraordinary. But when a heavy calabash of water was placed before them, none of them could lift it. And when a venomous scorpion crawled onto their mat, their isolated brilliance nearly got the entire arm killed. Listen to episode In our homes and communities today, we see the exact same paradox. We have never had more degrees, more personal titles, or more individual leverage. Yet when real pressure touches our collective doorstep, why does our grip slip? Why do our five gifted fingers refuse to curl inward until the poison is already in the bloodstream? What illusion of safety are we clinging to that makes us prefer being exceptional...

"What is your Quest"-Ha2ku by ha2tim

"Soria moria slott" by Theodor Kitte...Image via Wikipedia
Every warrior/
Needs a quest, to hone their skills/
Find yourself a quest!!
Ha2ku by ha2tim- insights from hamblacha 2010
Every warrior must take it upon him/herself to find something worth questing for. When we go on a quest, we throw ourselves into the unknown forcing ourselves to grow. I use the term warrior because in our process of SelfMastery™ we understand a warrior as one who is involved or experienced in conflict. In our culture we have been taught to avoid conflict; take the easy road. Not realizing we may be robbing ourselves of the very experience we may need to move us to the next level in our lives.
When we embark on a quest we are thrown into a world of difficulties and obsticles that can bring out the best in us. Even more important these challenges can bring out the worst. I know you probably are wondering why is it important to bring out the worst. Well many of us have pushed the worst part of us so deep down inside that we can pretend and even forget that part of us exist. When the worst in us surfaces it gives us a chance to remember that we still need work. In our Tribe we use the metal silver as a symbol that reminds us that we need constant work. Silver is a beautiful metal but if it is neglected will tarnish quickly. This tarnishing reminds us that we need to clean our silver symbols , and reminds us we need to clean our innerselves regularly as well.
So find yourself a noble quest, and begin your journey and maybe we will meet in our journeys.

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 Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
