The Trap of the "Self-Made" Myth

  The Trap of the "Self-Made" Myth https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-power-of-umoja-breaking-the-illusion-of-isolation--70376622 We’ve all heard it: “I got it out the mud all by myself.” It sounds good on a track or in a motivational speech, but is it the truth? For too long, our community has been sold a lie that glorifies extreme individualism. We are conditioned to grind alone and suffer in silence, believing that asking for help is a sign of weakness. But this mindset is exactly what feeds the heavy, quiet burdens of blame, shame, and guilt. When you isolate yourself, your struggles feel insurmountable. The reality is, our ancestors never survived by acting as islands. Their superpower was the collective. The deep, intentional work of true unity requires us to look in the mirror and then look at our community. What happens when we stop competing with our brothers and sisters and start combining our strength? The answer just might change how you approach your entire lif...

Using now-Ha2ku by ha2tim

'It's just the sun rising...'Image by *Seraphina* via Flickr
Sun will rise and set/
But it will always be now/
Be still, absorb it/


What will you do with your Now. Will you waste it worrying about tomorrow, fretting about what you did in the past or will you use it to become a better you. It amazes me as I look around this world and see all of the things that are designed to keep us focused on everything but our Now. We are made to feel as if we are inadequate in the present and are constantly pushed toward focusing on a future that is not promised. Rather than taking the time we are given to truly get to know ourselves.
You are the most beautiful and powerful person there is, and yet you may spend your time focusing on everything but getting to know this as fact. I am here to remind you of this fact today. The task that I give you is to remind others. Remind them to use their time today to help themselves by learning about their greatness, and using that greatness to help others. Remind them to use their time between the rise and the setting of the sun to learn something new about this world and in turn learn more about themselves.
This journey we are on is about us becoming the best we can be, but we cannot become that if we are focused on everything but the Now. take time for yourself today, and smell the flowers of life. Take a walk and enjoy the changing season. Take some time and compliment someone today. Shine like the sun for you are a star. Allow your light to shine on more than just your work. allow your light to shine on this world, helping others to see the true path they were born to walk, and as you help others your path will become clearer to you.
Be still in the moment and absorb the beauty that is around you, and allow everything around you to absorb your beauty also. When we do this; when we take these moments to still our minds, emotions, and spirit we become part of a larger order. From this larger order we are able to see our place in it, and we are exposed to the paradox of life. In this paradox we don't find the answers, we find the questions; these questions empower us by making us conscious in the Now. In this SelfMastery system we understand that consciousness is the first step to true greatness. So wake up in this moment. Stop crying about what was, and stop fearing what could be. For in the total scheme of things (the universe) in this Moment, right here and Now you are more powerful than the past (what you were) and the future (what you can become). Be still, absorb, and use the time you are given to wake up (Become conscious) in the Now.

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...

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...
