De-Program the Matrix: Reclaiming the Ancestral Pen on Kujichagulia

De-Program the Matrix: Reclaiming the Ancestral Pen on Kujichagulia Checkout Episode Let’s stop playing nice and confront a hard truth: Most of you are out here living a life you didn’t write. You’re waking up every day, punching the clock, reacting to the madness on your feed, and executing a sequence of commands that someone else programmed into you. You think you’re free because you get to choose your outfit, but if your mindset is trapped in blame, shame, and fear, you are nothing more than a glitchy piece of software running on an oppressive system's server. Yesterday evening, I came home after picking up my daughter Gina from practice. I was exhausted, trying to wind down early for the morning show. As I sat down, I accidentally sat on the remote control and changed the channel on my wife. A movie popped up. I didn’t know the title, and honestly, it didn’t matter. Within two minutes, I recognized the formula. I knew exactly how the story was going to end. But guess what? I st...

"Hiding reality"-Ha2ku by ha2tim

Whispering begins/
Then they hide reality/
Next they steal your time/
Ha2ku by ha2tim
When i challenged myself to write a blog a day i didn't know where the topics would come from. By dedicating myself to my writing i have been paying more attention to everything that happens around me. This has helped me with my spiritual practice as well because i have to do something out side of my comfort zone for at least 30 days. My ancestors state "that wisdom can be found even around the washing stone", and i get to witness this for myself on a daily basis as a SelfMastery™Coach. What i have found out is that listening is the most important part of coaching. Many people who work in this field feel that they have the answer,but the fact of the matter is that all the answer lie in each of us. We just need to be reminded, how to plug in.
Each day i send out proverbs and these same proverbs i use to work with those interested in SelfMastery™. I challenge them to define them (proverbs), discuss them, and then talk about how applying them could help in their life. This process give people the opportunity to contemplate a different way of thinking and living. In a discussion today about a Kenyan proverb i had one of those moments with someone that makes what I do worth it. The proverb (look at Ha2ku) "whispering will be followed by hiding, then stealing", was one of those proverbs of the day. I had done my contemplating in the morning and had been thinking about the proverbs all day. I met with someone who was also working on the proverb and he looked at me and began explaining it to me. First he broke down "whispering "by saying that people will always hate, but it becomes dangerous when it is in your own camp. I then asked him "what would they hide from you", he hesitated and looked me dead in my eyes and stated "reality". I asked him to explain. He stated that "when you are walking down a certain path (doing wrong is what he called it)you never want to walk alone. So you find ways to hide reality from those walking with you. You work to keep them blind to whats real". After that he explained this part i was amazed at how profound this young man's statement was. I had to write it down for later. I then asked him what do they "steal" from you . He began to think about the answer and said that "we steal the solutions and time from each other".
This young man amazed me with his insight and unlocked one dimension in a ancient proverb for me. The question I was left with after talking with this young teacher (he just don't know it yet) was how  have I been hiding reality from myself. How was i stealing time and robbing myself of the solutions. Then i had to take his definition a little bit farther and ask how has this society i live in been whispering, hiding reality, stealing my time and robbing me of solutions. The questions you need to ask yourself are the same. "Wisdom from the mouth of babes".

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 Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  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...
