Umoja & The Patch of Unity: Why Loud Noise Starves the Tribe

Umoja & The Patch of Unity: Why Loud Noise Starves the Tribe A lion standing in high grass that roars before striking gives away its position every single time. It’s an unvarnished ancestral truth: "A roaring lion kills no game." Loud threats, performative outbursts, social media flexing, and aggressive posturing produce zero sustenance for the pride. The roaring lion makes a spectacle, fills the air with theatrical bravado, but when night falls, its stomach remains empty and the cubs go unfed. Look around at our digital and physical spaces today. We are surrounded by empty roaring. We’ve been conditioned by a hyper-individualistic system to treat every disagreement like a war, every misunderstanding like a betrayal, and every friction point like a stage for public drama. We roar at our brothers, launch sub-tweets at our sisters, and bleed our axé out into the ether—all while remaining trapped in reactionary states of being Mad, Sad, or Scared. This performative outrage ...

Investing- Ha2ku by ha2tim

What do you invest,/
Is it time, money or both/
What is your return?/
Ha2ku by ha2tim

In these tough economic times we need to be careful about our investments. If we are not careful we can fall victim predators, that will try to drain us of all our resources. The two major resources that we have in this life is
1. our time- this is a limited resource that we can not get back. although there is no foreseeable end to it. We as human beings have a limited amount of it. so we have to be careful with this resource. It is the most valuable. When we invest it we must make sure we get a proper return.
2. our Money- an unlimited resource that we can gain by the proper use of our time, to use as a tool of trade. when this resource is used properly it can yeild a proper return that we can further invest or trade for objects.

When we look at these resources we have to be honest with ourselves about how we use them. Some may be waisting their time while others may be waisting their money, and some may be doing both. We are not looking at what return we get for these investments. No matter what it is we do in life there is a return. Are you taking the time to measure what your return is. One of the Universal laws that we deal with in SelfMastery is the law of reciprocity which teaches us "what comes around goes around", for those that never heard of reciprocity it is basically the same principle as karma. Their is no escaping this law. What i have found is that most people I hear speaking about this law only refer to the negative consequences of it. I have heard very few speak of the fact that all actions and investment returns back to the doer. So when we are investing our limited resource (time) into something we have to prepare our self for the return. when we invest our money we have to prepare for the return. So once again I as you what are you investing in? what can you expect your returns to be? Because something is coming so be careful when and where you spend your resources, because it has never been said better than the way Malcolm X "your chickens always come home to roost, and chickens coming home to roost never made me sad", I hope your investments coming home don't make you sad either.

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...
