The Counterfeit of Freedom: Why Breaking Chains Means Nothing If You Cut Your Roots

  The Counterfeit of Freedom: Why Breaking Chains Means Nothing If You Cut Your Roots The matrix has a funny way of selling us a lie packaged as a luxury. It looks like hyper-independence. It sounds like "I got it on my own." It feels like standing completely alone on top of a hill, isolated from the very people who prayed you into existence. But let’s stop playing nice and look at the diagnostic warning our ancestors left us from Uganda: "If you cut your chains you free yourself. If you cut your roots you die." We have been conditioned to confuse isolation with liberation. We get so consumed with running away from the struggle that we run away from our culture, our history, and our collective responsibility. We are moving through a critical shift right now—vibrating under the frequency of Umoja (Unity) as we anchor ourselves into a cycle of Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) . You cannot have one without the other. Internal unity is the fuel that makes co...

Being extraordinary-Ha2ku by h

Sometimes burn bridges/
Place your back against the wall/
And blaze your new trail/
Ha2ku by ha2tim
I have found that many people that I coach are waiting for greatness to come and knock on their door. I hate being the person to tell them that never happens. In order to live our dreams we have to be willing to put ourselves in uncomfortable situations that bring the best out of us. We have to be willing to do the unconventional, and blaze a trail that the rest of the world can look at in amazement. We have to be willing to step away from the herd and maybe put our lives at risk. We have to be brave enough to burn or bridges so that we can't retreat to safety. Even put our backs against the wall and look fear directly in the eye.
To be extraordinary we have to do what Tony Robbins describes as massive action. Many of us may want to walk the approved path and hope to attain greatness, but we will only end up with the same thing that everyone else is getting from walking that path a "middle of the road existence". In my studies everyone that has done great things, has had to learn to think and act differently from what society taught them. They had to go through a personal crucifixation, this was a time great of sacrifice and pain. They had to face the criticism, and small mindedness of everyone around them. This is part of the price and more importantly the test of greatness.  To be extraordinary we have to be willing to pay these fees. Believe me they will come when and from (who) you least expect it.
What seems to freeze most of the people that I coach is that they don't want to be uncomfortable or make others feel uncomfortable. How can you want to revolutionize your field, manifest your dreams, and create something new without shaking up the world. And yes you will may loose your comforts which are nothing but illusions designed to keep you where you are in life. People will definately be uncomfortable around you because your very success shakes the foundation of what they believe about you, and forces them to look at themselves. Beware of the status quo. This is a ghost that most people fear and will do everything to stay in its grip, and even worse will do almost anything to keep you under its spell as well.
So are you ready for greatness? Are you willing to burn "bridges to no where in your life. Are you willing to put your back against the wall and stare your fear directly in the eye? If so, I welcome you on your Gye-Nyame Journey...

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...
