The "Self-Made" Lie: Why You’re Waiting for Chickens to Grow Teeth

Image
  The "Self-Made" Lie: Why You’re Waiting for Chickens to Grow Teeth Listen, family—the Ancestors didn’t leave us myths; they left us an algorithm . Right now, we are in a fractal convergence that only happens once every seven years. We are in the year, cycle, week, and day of Ujima . The vibration is Blue—deep, steady, and inescapable. We’ve been sold a colonizer’s dream: the "Self-Made" man. We’ve been coached to carry the world on our own shoulders until our spines snap, calling it "hustle." But that "I got this" mask is actually a coffin. In the Wolof tradition, when someone makes excuses for not showing up for the Tribe, they say: "Wait until the chicken grows teeth." Stop waiting for the impossible "perfect moment" to be responsible for your brother. If his house is flooding, your floor is already wet. Ujima—Collective Work and Responsibility—isn't a chore; it’s the key to your own survival. On this Total Ujima Day,...

Umoja

Gye-Nyame salutes/
Kwanzaa, let's seek Umoja/
Oneness in journey/

Principle: Umoja
Day: Monday
Number: 1, 8
Element: Air
Chakra: Crown
Color: Violet
Umoja is the principle of unity. This guiding force is one of the most powerful principles to meditate upon, and practice. This principle speaks to us about the unity of all, and reminds us that our existence is interdependent with the rest of existence. By focusing on this principle and its numbers, colors, days, and element we get a deeper understanding of ourselves, and a view of how the universe works. By being able to master the practice of Umoja we become one with all. In this unity we find peace, and also realize that we are lacking nothing.
Take time today and reflect on Umoja. See how you fit in to the tapestry of life. Relax and meditate on this principle as well as using it (UMOJA) as a word of power through chanting. Feel it fill each cell of your body and share the energy today.
*be on the look out for my book on the use of the 7 principles of Kwanzaa called the "Player's Pyramid". We will begin selling them in 2011. (Entrepreneurship)

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...
