Unlocking the Power of Honor: A Guiding Light for Our Tribe's Future In a world where words often lose their meaning amidst the noise, "Honor" stands tall, embodying a profound truth that resonates deeply within the soul of our community. As we navigate the complexities of modern existence, it's essential to return to the roots that define us, leveraging the timeless principles of Honor, Loyalty, and Sacrifice to forge a path forward. This exploration isn't just about understanding a concept; it's about redefining our collective destiny through the lens of integrity and truth.

When I view this video many thoughts run through my mind. I am reminded about trying to hide my tears when I saw it for the first time. When I was young this movie was all the rage, everyone I knew at the time were in and sitting down in front of the TV to view Roots. The thought that had been placed in me during that time has constantly haunted me. Why was it so important for Kunta to accept the name that was given to him. Being so young I could not understand, but as a much older man today I do.
The goal on this journey is to take everything that comes our way and find the lesson. The lesson that I am able to pick out of this video at this time, is the power of naming something. Historically those that named a thing had power over that thing. When I look back in history we can see this over and over again. This is because in naming you also have the power to define. For example in the bible Adam was given dominion over the earth and the animals. He was given the power to name all the animals, which gave him a magic power over all of them. The name of a thing or a person was seen as a sacred thing that needed to be protected. In the "African openings to the Tree of Life" it states that, "in the original name is the essence", by having a things true name or being able to rename it gave you power over it. That is why you hear stories based on sacred beings and peoples keeping their true name secret. For example there is a story about Auset (Isis) tricking Ra out of his true name and in doing this she received power over him. Also I have heard found in my studies that the reason that some cities and deities also hid there names so they could not be invoked and then used by the wrong people. For example KMT (Egypt), and YVHV. Names, the ability to name, and also define for thousands of years was a very serious power. It is only in our day and time that we do not understand nor respect this power. This is something that we all have access to but we neglect it. While those that understand this power use it against us.
Now I am not trying to go into ancient history and Myths but I do want to make sure you understand where I am coming from in my analysis of the clip. By taking Kunta's name he was destroyed symbolically, and all the people around him where also reminded of their positions and their own destruction. This destruction that I am talking was a result of loosing control of their names, their ability to define their world, and most importantly themselves. Now Lets get to you and your life. What force has stripped you of your name, and your ability to define? Have you taken the time to define yourself as well as your world? Have you realized the power of the name? Now back to the title Ha2ku, have you taken the time to name and define your purpose? If not, take time to do this and bring in your New year by calling your purpose to you. You may be surprised at how quickly it will come to you.

Peace FAM: It is time that I move to another level. I have spoke enough about sacrifice, suffering, embracing the bitter. Now it is time for us to see these things totally in action. I have decided to commit to completing another 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge with a fast. It is about to get hard. This time I will not be doing the intermittent fasting I will be doing a straight liquid fast. The goal is to demonstrate that it can be done, to help me workout some of my personal fears, and to solidify my vision for GNJ. I am not playing with this platform I have been blessed with, and I am not playing with this product that the Ancestors have dropped in my lap. I decided to call it the Gye-Nyame Quest. Now what I will have to workout is a system that will help me make it through the rough times. I will follow everything that we do within the challenge, plus the fast. My system will look like this: Week 1 Breathing Exercise Toast Movement Cold shower/ bath proverb & folktale of
Here is a video that we found searching the public domain. I will be posting many more videos like this and using them in the Warrior training to demonstrate the power of symbolism and media. Feel free to join in on our discussions as well as post on this blog, my spreaker station, but more importantly follow this link back to my YouTube Station and push that subscribe button. I will also doing some personal shows on the series of cartoons and movies that I will be posting. The Idea is to hold discussion about these old videos, their effects, and how they may be playing a factor in our Areas today.
GNJ # System Introduction In the ancient world, we used numbers to count and calculate. Numbers were also used in rituals and religious ceremonies. Today, we still use numbers for these purposes, but they have become more important than ever before! Numbers provide a way to better understand ourselves as individuals. Numbers also provide a way to better understand the world around us and how we interact with it. Finally, numbers can help us learn more about how to behave so that we can achieve our goals, whether they are spiritual or material in nature. The GNJ system is a new approach that will allow you to gain insight into yourself by using numerology and astrology together! The first step is learning your Life Path Number (sometimes called your "birthday number"). This will tell you what kind of person you are at heart based on when you were born - which could be either good news or bad news depending on when that happens." Numbers provide a way to better understan
