The Art of Broken Wood: Why Brute Force Is Killing Your Genius

The Art of Broken Wood: Why Brute Force Is Killing Your Genius Listen to the episode for this week of Kuiumba We love to sit by the muddy banks and complain about the storm. Look at our households, our ventures, and our exhausted minds. The shelter caved in, the resources feel waterlogged, and the old blueprint doesn't work anymore. So what do we do? We drop our tools, sit in the mud, and drown in the lower emotional loop: Mad at the downpour, Sad about what washed away, and Scared that we don't have what it takes to rebuild. From that paralyzed place, we drown in blame, shame, and guilt. We blame systemic weather; we carry the shame of broken foundations; we carry the guilt of not saving everyone. But Kuumba (Creativity) —burning in its radiant fire of deep Orange—does not ask you for seasoned, kiln-dried timber from the master’s storehouse. Kuumba looks at your mud-soaked reality and asks a sovereign question: What did the flood wash to your feet? Ancient Mangbetu lore tel...

What are your limits/
Are they real or illusion/
Push past what is not/
What are the limits you believe you face in your life? Coming from a Warriors perspective more than likely they are illusions that you have developed in your life. Remember some times we have to step back and look at things differently. To help us with this it's sometimes good to have a coach (shameless plug) to help us with these break throughs. A coach can help you keep going in the part of these illusions, and help us pull up if the limit is real.
I can remember in my younger days when i played sports or practiced martial arts. My teacher (coach) would always be able to push me to what I thought was my (physical and mental) limits, and help me work through them. These were powerful moments that I had in my life and never forgot, they still inspire me today.  People can see the  usefullnes of coaches when it come to working out, and for competitions sports. But we can't see the usefulnes of a coach when it comes to dealing with inner issues (emotional,mental, spiritual and etc.).
When we run into barriers how do we know what is real and what is not. This is a skill that we have to develop within ourselves that can only come with us learning as much about ourselves as we can. The ironic part of this , is that we learn the most when we run into these limits. These limitations arise and we have to push through them and at the end of the struggle we learn something new about ourselves and abilities. The power of a skilled coach is that he can determine right away  what is a real obsticle and what is an illusion. S/he can also help you identify the cause of the illusionary obsticle and help you eliminate it for yourself.
For us to be able to manifest what we were born to do we have to be bold, and brave enough to face these limits push through and embrace the power that was always with in.

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 Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
