Stop Chasing the Leaves: Why the Consumer Matrix is Killing Our Roots

Stop Chasing the Leaves: Why the Consumer Matrix is Killing Our Roots Let’s stop playing nice with the systems that are actively draining us. Everyday, we are bombarded with the toxic gospel of the hustle—told to stack another gig, download another finance app, and buy into external validation. We’ve been conditioned to trade our cultural inheritance for temporary, cosmetic luxury. We are out here changing our leaves to survive the corporate winter, but we are letting our roots rot in the process. The Amharic proverb explicitly warns us: "Don't abandon your foundation; even trees change their leaves but keep their roots." Our foundation is Ujamaa —Cooperative Economics. But we’ve allowed a predatory system to distort our vision, turning us into the ultimate consumers instead of the ultimate creators. Think about the old tale of the maiden and the magic fish. Her husband couldn’t stop demanding more—more property, more status, a bigger empire—completely devoid of gratitude...

Collective work and/

the key to freedom/

Principle- Ujima
Number- 3
color- blue
Day- Wednesday
Chakra- throat
Element- Fire

Ujima is the principle that helps us accomplish our goal by teaching us about communication. It is through communication that we are able to marshal our internal as well as our external resources to work together to achieve a goal. When we look at this principle and put it in to practice we become the great speaker, but we also learn about the responsibility that comes with being the bringer of the word.

by getting in tune with Ujima and working with it in meditation we learn about the importance of the collective, and how by use of the proper words and motivation we can accomplish the impossible. The mistake that many make with this principle is that they  focus only on the outside world. To get the full use of the power of Ujima we first have to focus its power inward. Yes we have a collective inside of us. the human being has at least 5 parts (IMESP we will cover this in a later blog, please remind me). When we are able to bring all the parts of ourselves into harmony then it is easier to work with the outside world. Remember that these principles are to be used to help develop you, and through you and your action improve the family, community, tribe, and etc.. Use Ujima as a word of power in your meditation today and uncover the secrets it has for you on this Journey.

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...
