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

Image
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 ...

Spiritual science of giving

Tithing is designed/
To make us better people/
What do you give to?/

I am really excited about my book being out so if you don't know, now you do if you have a e-reader (kindle, ipad, and etc.) you can click the link the link to your left. If you prefer to touch the book you can support my efforts by clicking and buying the paperback........ Player's Pyramid



on to the blog.......
Tithing is designed to make us better people by encouraging us to give. It is unfortunate that this tool for spiritual growth has been hijacked. When we give we sacrifice something that we need. These does 2 things:
1. It helps humble us, by having us serve others
2. It forces us to have to trust in something beyond ourselves
Humbleness is a very powerful tool in our spiritual development. It is because we are humble that we are able to learn from others. Not only learn, but it helps us to develop the sight  to see the divine in every being. we also learn the power of being a servant, and how we grow closer and more like our Creator as we serve.
It also forces us to trust in the Creator and the universe that we live in. Through our trust, or faith (Imani, check out the power of Imani in my book) we build our ability to manifest our own vision. When I give away a piece of myself and learn to know that I will get a return I am plugging into true power. I build faith in the very Law (Reciprocity) of the universe. Although the Law works my lack of faith in it may make it impossible for me to see its action in my life.
Tithing is a powerful tool that helps us on our Journey. By practicing it we open up opportunities that may have been closed to us before. Now I do need to stress that tithing has been misrepresented in many circles. Tithing does not have to be just money, but it can be time or some other sacrifice. Tithing just does not happen in churches, temples or mosque either. A proper tithe is paid to those places or person's that spiritually feed you. I know this may be new for many of you but I repeat tithing does not have to be given to just a religious organization. When we tithee we are in a sense sending energy (axe') into the universe and to our Creator as a salute. This salute just does not happen in religious places. We are plugging into the cycle of reciprocity and our 10% is a seed that we are planting. Although it is a sacrifice it still is a seed, and growth happens everywhere in this universe. The proper way to pay tithes is to give to those things or people that feed you spiritually. Give with love and intention and watch the return come in all their beautiful forms.
Lately don't feel bad if you may not have the financial means to give. Realize that the concept is to make a sacrifice, and when you give time to a person, and or place in service are you not making a sacrifice.
Just know that on this journey we must sacrifice of ourselves to reach our spiritual heights, just know the rules so that you
Peace & 1Hunidyears

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...
