  Shedding the Shell: The Power of Double Umoja he Blog Post https://www.spreaker.com/episode/shedding-the-shell-the-power-of-double-umoja--72282085 Family, we are standing at a major cultural intersection today. It's a Double Umoja day, and we are officially stepping into the 49-day Cycle of Ujamaa. But before you start thinking about building outward, we need to talk about the internal clutter you're hoarding. Are you currently fighting an internal civil war? When your intuition, mind, emotion, spirit, and physical self are tensed up against each other, unity is impossible. Many of us are out here trying to resolve communal conflicts while carrying a massive shell of hidden trouble on our backs, completely unaware that conflict is just a glitch in our communication styles. We think we need to do more, build more, and add more to our plates, but the ancestors are flashing a red light. The tension you feel isn't because you lack resources—it's because you haven't cl...

Perserverance-Ha2ku

Paul Bunyan Land/This Old Farm Brainerd, MinnesotaImage via Wikipedia
I will perservere/
Step by step until I get/
What it is I want/
My son had a skating party with his school. He had only been skating once in his life. As I put on his skates it did not occur to him that he could not skate. He jumped up on the skates an immediately hit the ground. He then got back up caught his balance and tried again, but the second time he pushed the envelope. He decided that he wanted to go on the floor with the other skaters. At this time my fatherly instinct kicked in and I grabbed him and told him to practice on the carpet. He fell down 19 more times got up and moved toward the floor. He got onto the skating deck and fell down some more. He went to the middle of the floor and kept falling never giving up. He continued to fall down and get back up. I looked on in amazement. He did not care that people was watching him, and some may have been laughing. The only thing that his mind was on was learning to skate.
As I was watching this process at first I was worried for him, but then I began to learn from him. He was totally focused on skating today, and was willing to goto the hospital to prove it. He demonstrated for me what it is that many of us loose in the ageing process (not just flexiability), perserverance. He was determined to skate NOW. He didnt care about the falls, the possible teasing or anything else. He was totally focused on the outcome that he wanted. My youngest son gave me the best lesson in SelfMastery™. He demonstrated what happens when we focus on what it is we want. Not worrying about the pain that he had to endure to get it.
What is it that you want out of this life? I gurantee that if you pursue and perserveer you it like Cleve (my son)  will enjoy the victory just as he did.

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...
