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...

Knowing-Ha2ku by ha2tim (inspired by conversation with youth)

The Age we are in/
Is not driven by belief/
But based on KNOWING/
Ha2ku by ha2tim

I was inspired to write this piece from a few conversation that I had with some young men in my life. As usual I sent out my daily quote, and in doing my SelfMastery work was forced to deal with some tough questions. For some reason people got stuck on the quote that I sent out on this day. It was a statement that Napoleon had made about fear. It seemed that the young men especially could not work this one out,but that gave me the opportunity to ask them and myself questions about the underlying meaning of the quote:
"He who fears being conquered is sure to face failure"

This lead into several enlightening conversations that I could not wait to get out and blog about. They also inspired me to write several Ha2ku's. Out of the conversation for basic steps came out for livng in "knowing" (I will discuss later). I started thinking about times that we are living in, and the term age came into my my mind. The age that we are leaving is Pisces which was based on belief, and we are now entering the age of Aquarius which is the age of knowing. This age will rewards those that know. Knowing will be the most potent force of this time. In the last age belief was rewarded because we needed to deal with the unseen and unknown forces. That belief was rewarded by us being given the means to see and have a basic understanding of these forces (science is now confirming spiritual wisdom). Now the power will begin to shift to those who strive to know and understand these forces of the universe rather than just believe in them. Belief is powerful, but there is one thing that most people dont really deal with when we discuss belief. In order for belief to exist there must be doubt, and in a information age a little doubt can be very dangerous. "The Doubt" that we use to be able to hide and fight back with prayer can now be manipulated and in some cases grown to a point (through the Media for example) where it destroys the belief we once had. In this age we need to KNOW, because knowing does not allow doubt in.

Later on this week we will discus the four lessons that was inspired by my conversation. So come back to Gye-Nyame Journey for the rest. See you soon..
peace

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...
