Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

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...
