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...

Economics can be defined as the branch of social science that deals with the production and distribution and consumption of goods and services and their management. on our journey it is our challenge to look deeper into issues. Ujamaa teaches about cooperative economics but the challenge is to look beyond the outer and move inward. Their is no way we can can talk about managing anything if we have taken the time to learn to mange our inner world. Just for a few moments today I challenge you think about what products you create in your life, how you distribute them to your self and to others. Are the products (thoughts, emotions, imaginations and etc.) are they good or bad for you. Are your products good for those around you.Cooperative economics is not just about gathering and combining the resources outside of us. It starts as all these principles do, from the inside of our being. What are the personal resources we have over looked. What skill do we have that we can master to help build our lives and then the communities life around us.

After we do the internal work it will be easy for us to look into the world and mange the resources around us no matter how small they are. When you find a person that has mastered themselves they appear to be able to do miracles with little external resources. When I speak of mastery i want to make it clear that I am not talking about a perfected being with no issues. I am talking about the individual who has decided to take the journey toward mastering something in their life and the world.

Today lets focus on Ujamaa and learn to first manage our internal resources, and then move to work in our communities. Empty individuals without the keys to mastery, and guiding principles can be given all the opportunity and resources in the world and they will create nothing but destruction and confusion. If you do not believe me look at the present state of our economy. hahahahahahaa

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...
