The Myth of the Perfect Pioneer: Why Our Path to Unity is Supposed to Look Crooked

The Myth of the Perfect Pioneer: Why Our Path to Unity is Supposed to Look Crooked Let’s stop lying to ourselves. We love to judge the architecture of a bridge while standing safely on the other side, completely forgetting who had to swallow the dirt to build it. An old Akan proverb drops a heavy truth on our laps today: "The one who cuts a path does not know that behind him it is crooked." When you are the first one out in the wilderness hacking through the dense, thorny brush of systemic oppression, generational trauma, and economic redlining, you aren't walking a straight line. You are fighting for survival. Your focus is entirely on the next swing of the machete. Your steps will look jagged, raw, and unpolished. Look at our blueprints: Althea Gibson (1957): She didn't glide gracefully into Wimbledon; she hacked through a brutal, suffocating jungle of white supremacy to claim her crown. Jackie Robinson (1944): Long before the baseball diamond, he was facing down ...

Alchemist believed/
Humans can be perfected/
Using principles/

Like ancient alchemist I believe that humans beings can be perfected as well. i just understand that perfection is a path, that we walk rather than a destination. As a matter of fact I believe that we all are perfect we just don't recognize it. For me perfect does not mean with out flow. Perfection is full of flaws and as crazy as this sounds this fact is what make it perfect. i have a problem with the flawless vision that as been thrust upon us. If we all were flawless this world would be boring, as a matter of fact it is the flaws in life that force us to grow. Think about this if we all were perfect in the traditional view, then we all would be the same think the same and act the same, BORING. Life is perfect and the flaws is what moves this dynamic universe to constantly change.
Now to begin or continue your walk on the path of perfection, you must embrace principles. Now the challenge in adopting your principles is being able to study and adapt your principles as you grow and learn. You must be committed to grow your principles and care for them as if they are plants. Constantly watering and watching these principles grow in your life. It may take years, but like a tree they will grow in your life and provide shade against the glare of life, and provide fruit that will nurture you through your days. These Principles were the magic tools that alchemist used to perfect themselves. They symbolically changed themselves from a base metal into gold. Now you have the Knowledge to the same.

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...
