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...

"Other's Opinions"-Ha2ku by ha2tim

A Little PerspectiveImage by loswl via Flickr
Other's opinions/
about you don't count unless/
you accept their truth/


This verse allows me to deal with one of my favorite subjects. 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 Earth's creatures. When you allow others to "define you", you give them dominion over you. They are able to rightfully rule you. This goes on everyday power is maintained by those that do the defining.Governments want to count and label their population. Companies want to define their customer base, and demographic. Schools want to label our children, and your job wants to label and define you. When we give our power to define away, by bending to people's ideas about us, and to their opinions we weaken our Axe'. When we bow to the definitions that our put us by indivduals,groups, governments, religions, and etc we give away our axe' and allow it to be exploited by people or institutions that may not have our best interest at heart.
Who are you? Take time and explore you. Define yourself for yourself, and allow that definition to ring out into the world around you. Hold to your definition because in it is your power. Never fear exploring it more and adding and taking away as you grow, but always remember that is something for you to decide, and no one else. Other's peoples opinions of you did not create you and trust me they can not destroy you either. Other people's opinions are just that "other people's" , be kind let them keep their opinions because "their opinions" may be all they own.

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...
