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 ...

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...
