KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility

Image
KET.N: “Our Thang,” Our Tribe, Our Responsibility Great day, Great day, my people! It’s your brother ha2tim, and today I’m bringing you a special reflection—one that digs deep into who we are, what we build, and why we must build together. This article centers around a powerful concept: KET.N , a Kemetic term gifted to our tribe by Brother Kwame Keuchler . KET.N , simply put, means “Our Thang.” Not just something we claim—but something we commit to. Something we shape and something that shapes us. The idea came alive during a conversation about gangster movies—yeah, I love those. One phrase always stood out: “This thing of ours.” And that got me thinking... Because we need that same spirit when it comes to Gye-Nyame. When it comes to Simsa. When it comes to our culture, our children, and our future. We need our own KET.N. KET.N: It Belongs to Us. We Belong to It. KET.N isn’t just a word—it’s a sacred commitment. Our Thang represents a bond with something greater than any individua...

Control- Ha2ku by ha2tim

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 that we can control the cosmos. When in the total scheme of things we are drifting on less than a piece of sand in a vast universal ocean. On the edge of a mid-sized (maybe) galaxy. When in fact the model for control has been given to us. "Be like water my friend" as Bruce Lee would often quote in his interviews. Water maintains control, by surrendering control and flowing. Water is able to move and adjust to its enviroment, and wear down its obsticles, by being consistent. Water the softest element can carve through rock, rust metal, or destroy a city. Water use its enviroment to propel it to its goal. Water is very clear about where it wants to be, gathered together at the lowest point. It will roll, fall, float, carve,flood, crash, rust, and what ever else is needed to get to its goal. Are you as clear on what you want in your existence as water is? If you are then begin to flow.

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...
