Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Good intentions

I now understand/
Why the road to hell is paved/
With good intentions/
I am in in Muskegon Michigan with some wonderful young people (sending shots out to the mighty Simba & Simsa Nation). I am responsible for for alot of people this weekend so I will drop this blog quickly and illustrate it later so forgive me in advance for the blandness of the next few post.
I know many of you have seen the Secret video and probably looked at this Ha2ku and got offended, but this blog is not against the power of intention. What it is speaking on is the destructive power of intentions alone. Many of us have many intentions and just relying on intention alone can cause problems. I know many people who have good intention, but that is it. They take no action toward their goals, feeling as if intention is enough. If you take time to review the Secret video you will see that the important ingredient to making your intention manifest is you taking action. Intention without action is like sailing without a boat. Its possible but more than likely will not happen. Your intentions are energy needing the motive force of your action to manifest. Sitting around with the intention of accomplishing something with out direct action from you is simple a delusion. That is why our elders would say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Its not the fact that intentions especially good intentions lead us to hell, but it is the lack of actions behind the intentions that causes the problem. Many of us know someone in our lives that intend to do many things, but their apathy gets them in trouble. So remember this simple equation intention +proper action=manifestation but intention - proper action=delusion (which I personally feel is hell)
