The Art of Doing Less: Mastery Through Subtraction

Image
The Art of Doing Less: Mastery Through Subtraction “The myth is… you gotta do more to be more. But what if that’s backward?” Out here in the hustle of modern life, we’ve been sold a story. That success, peace, and SelfMastery demand more systems, more strategies, more stacking of steps on top of already stressed lives. It’s a seductive myth. But it’s still a myth. Because real mastery—the kind that resonates deep, the kind that’s about being , not just doing —is often about less, not more. It’s time we talk about Subtractive SelfMastery . Cut to the Core We live in an age of overcomplication. Layers on layers. Routines for routines. Everyone out here trying to “optimize” while barely breathing. It’s like trying to clear your path by building around the boulders instead of moving them. Eventually, you’re not on a path—you’re in a maze of your own making. At Gye-Nyame Journey, we’re taking a different road. Mastery through subtraction means clearing what clutters, removing what no longer...

Perserverance-Ha2ku

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...
