  The Machete in the Shed https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-nearness-of-faith--71829773 There is a venomous snake at your feet, and the best weapon you own is three miles away. What do you do? Most of us are living our lives in that three-mile gap. We have "faith" in things that aren't here—promises from people who don't know our names and systems that weren't built for our survival. We talk about collective work ( Ujima ), but we hesitate because we think we’re missing a key ingredient. But what if the "missing" piece is actually something you need to get rid of rather than something you need to find? What if the "weapon far away" is actually a distraction keeping you from seeing the power in your own palms? Today, we explore the engine of Imani and why the most radical thing you can do for the Tribe is to stop looking for help.

"What is your Quest"-Ha2ku by ha2tim

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.
Peace
