Image by thepluginguy via Flickr Fighting for control/ brings chaos into your life/ be like water, Flow/ Many of our lives have turned into a battlefield because we are constantly fighting for control. we feel that the world is ours to control so we make ourselves sick trying to bend it and everything on it to our will. We feel that if we scream loud enough,and push long enough we will bend the will of the world. Western society has helped to ingrain this "forward ever backward never, and no surrender attitude". To prove our control we have our battle scars that are on the inside of us, making some of our lives a living hell with hyper tension, tumors, ulcers, weakened hearts, migrains and a host of other sicknesses that plagues many especially in America. Our reward for dominating everything and everyone around us is loneliness, and sickness. We have material trophies, but when it comes to deep insight about life and spiritual awarness we have none. Why do we think

These blocks are set before us to prepare us for what is coming. This is the time to dig in and stick it out. These blocks whether it comes in the form of writers block, relationship blocks, career blocks, and etc., when we come to these blocks we are forced to change our view. Let us stop looking at these blocks as difficulties and start looking at this blocks as negatives and begin to look at them as opportunities for growth. These blocks when looked at in this way they become our stepping stones to greatness. These blocks give us time to explore ourselves , and the many different talents and skills that we have. Sometimes we continue doing the same thing for so long that we become stuck in one way of viewing the world. The so called block gives us an opportunity to look at new solutions and new ways of viewing our prob

Life is wonderful when we are in love with living it. We have been blessed with an opportunity in this lifetime to effect all those around us. The issue that I run into most times doing SelfMastery™ coaching is that people have lost their way. They have lost the love of life because they are off their purpose. We live in a wonderful universe that works on purpose. So if you are in existence you can be sure that you were placed here for a reason. The challenge is to find that reason. We we loctae our reason our purpose because clear, and we can once again fall in love with this life. How do we find our purpose? For many this can be a process involving trial and error. Many times we can make it easy for ourselves if we can locate those things that we can naturally do well. Things that bring out our passion. Whe

As I was watching her I began to realize that when we lose the sense of 'newness' of life. As we get older we begin to believe that we have arrived and cut ourselves off from the power that has helped humans advance to the point we are now. When we begin to believe that we have learned all their is to know we limit ourselves. Watching my baby reminds me of the wonder that is still out there. We begin this life with such an interest in everything around us. Life is a big puzzle that we are trying to figure out. This puzzle is full of mystery and there in lies the power. when we lose the sense of amazement and trade it for the false comfort of thinking we know we cut ourselves off from the true power of life. This power flows from the mystery. By us embracing this mystery and walking with it in our life we

In my dream I was in a familiar house with my family. The demons were coming for me because I had participated in this work of "change". I knew the demons were coming looking for me, so I sent my my family out the basement door to safety. My sister laid on the floor sleep and I had to wake her up and convince her to leave me as well. I called on my Creator and all my Ancestors and prepared for the worst. I was blessed with a weapon that I was told would help me in the coming onslaught and all I received was a pen.

Image via Wikipedia Moving toward future/ With 20/20 vision/ Feet planted in now/ Ha2ku by ha2tim Moving toward the future on purpose. This is what we need to begin doing. It appears to me that we stumbled through the 80's,tripped through the 90's and accidentally made it through the first 10 years of the 21st century. Now we can begin focusing on where we want to be. I have learned from my many years of life that the only way to get somewhere is to focus on where you want to go. I no longer want to roll in a community, group, or an organization that does not know where it is going or even worst be part of a collective/community whose future is shaped by parties outside of itself. At this moment we have to take charge of our destiny and set a course for 2020. Not only talk about getting there but set it in our minds what it will look like for us when we reach it. Fear has been a major factor in us floating in this ocean of confusion. Fear has been set loose in our co

Image via Wikipedia First seperation/ Next initiation,then/ Reintroduction/ Haku by ha2tim This is the cycle of a warrior, where are you in your journey? As warrios we must be willing to face these cycles they are unavoidable in life. We are forced to deal with the conflict that is inherent in this life cycle. These conflicts provides us with opportunities we need to grow if we embrace them. Throughout the ancient world; tribes developed a system to help their warriors face these steps in a structured fashion. The warriors would be introduced to the myths and sysytems that held their society together. After the warriors went through this system they were willing to give their all to defend their society and what they learned. Let's take brief look at each step of this process because we go through this process either on purpose or by accident:ASeperation- the warrior is first seperated from all they know and enter into what could be called "another world".

This young man had started a garden and he had developed a succesful plot this summer. He took me out to see it and I could see the pride in his face. This was SelfMastery in action. This young man had never heard of the concept but in that instant of sharing his garden, his work, his passion he became my master teacher. As we began our conversation I asked him what were the steps that he took to make his garden the success it was, and he proudly shared his secrets. He smiled, then he proudly told me step by step. After he completed his story, I challenged him to apply that same process, that beautiful system to life, and give anyone that wants to use it the keys to success. He thought about and rattled off the steps: 1. Lay out everything- he stated that in order to start his garden h

Image via Wikipedia If not for defeat/ We would not know victory/ So continue on/ Defeat is a word that many don't want to hear, nor a subject that people want to discuss. Today I want to take the time to celebrate that word and help others recognize what it does for them. Defeat, and failure both help us along our path in life by giving us the feed back we need to succed. We just need to re-learn how we deal with them. Where did you learn how to deal with defeat? Why is it so hard to look at these things in a new light? In our personal development we have to begin to not worry about what others think. It is a shame that so many dreams, and good ideas have been assasinated by what "other people" think. I also believe the same goes for defeat we have become more concerned with what others think rather than using the time to learn from our defeat, loss, or failures. We run from these things not realizing that many times the only way to success is through them. Defea

It is important that everyont that is on the SelfMastery™ journey with Gye-Nyame under stand the power of belief, and begin to see the effects that belief have on our everyday existence. Belief is the foundation of many peoples lives and depending on the belief they can have a happy or sad existence. We are driven by our beliefs and form prejudgements based on belief, but we never focus or at least I feel we never focus on how this beliefs truly effect our lives. Maybe many of us Belive we are to advanced to be stuck where we are because of our belies as we wake up and go to worship service (hahaha had to slide that in).

It seems that this lifestyle is tearing up communities all over the world. You know it when you see it. These are the people who are always waiting for something to happen. That sit around waiting for something to pop, like somebody with some weed, some money to borrow, some liquor, for a miraculos job to appear, for that magically lottery ticket to hit, for their music to get picked up,to launch their acting career, and I can go on and on. This shit has to STOP. When you waiting for something you are wasting one of the only commodities that you have, your time.

They were known for their ability to help us when they were applied properly. Man has always sought something that he could instill his hope into and depend on in times of trouble. Hence we have magic words, lucky charms, talisments, and etc.. These are supposedly tools of ancient people and serve no function in our modern society, but I wonder. What is magic? when I look at the word I see the word Magi, which means wise person (which is also the root word for terms like magistrate). A wise person in ancient time was viewed to be connected with some type of divine power, hence they would know the unknowable and henced be respected for their power to divine the future and manipulate forces that regular men and women could not.

Before I get into dealing with anything let us recap. I need to make clear that I am basically gearing you up for battle. Every good warrior is always taking care of her/his weapons. The weapon we explored last week was the imagination and how this weapon was mightier than any sword if weilded by the right champion, but was very dangerous if weilded by a chump. Today this verse gives me the opportunity to talk about self definition. This very idea allows you to free up your imagination so that you can use it to better your life. The power to define is very important, but I find it strange that it is often overlooked and so easily given away. I remember being in church and hearing that one of the first gifts that God gave Adam was the power to name and define all the animals. This gave Adam dominion over all of

Warriors empower themselves when they embrace the fact of death. When we do this we are able to live life to its fullest. Not just hide our heads in the sand like many people do. Warriors are able to put all of their power and energy in the moment, because they know nothing is promised. Warriors live in this way because it gives you personal power to use to help yourself and others. When we live our life as if we are promised tomorrow, this makes us weak. When we think we are promised tomorrow we may not give our all because we are trying to save the best for later. A true warrior lives on the edge and know that death is stalking him.

This funny looking creature made flying look so easy, but when you think about the mechanics behind it's flying you are confronted by the complexities of this little insect. Let's slow down that is where the problem come in to the picture for us. We begin to look at life and we want to understand, and be able to break it down rather than being like the dragonfly and just getting out there and doing it.

We seek it in our relationships, we seek it in our jobs, we seek it in our churches, we seek it in the mosque, we seek it in the possessions we own, or even in the possession we pursue. But joy seems to allude us, or doesnt stay around to long. That new relationship doesnt spark you the way it use to, or that job is not as exciting as it was when you started. Joy has flown away, and we put on chase trying to find her and seduce her back into our lives. This is the mistake.... We have been programed to seek this gift from the Creator outside of ourselves.
