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...

In the questions

Enlightenment comes/
Through the questions not answers/
ask and it will come/










This thought came to me as I was reviewing the question of Gye-Nyame tribe. By asking question we throw a beacon out into the universe that gets a response. This response can come to us in many different ways so we have to train ourselves to listen and so we don't limit where the answers come from. The answer does not have to flow from the mouth of a guru or a world famous teacher. We may get the answer from walking down the street and out of nowhere an insight will hit. Maybe a bird will fly past us and trigger an answer. You may receive your answer from a child or a homeless man that you walk bye.
When we really get into the art of questioning we become genuine and wait for the answers. We have to become empty of all the preconceived ideas we have about a subject and allow the Universe to work.
This reminds me of segments from movies or myths that I have had the pleasure to experience:
Luke Skywalker went looking for a Jedi master only to find a old green ghoul, that he overlooks and disrespects because of his preconceived notions of what a Jedi master should be or look like. Only to finally learn that the ghoul (Yoda) was the ultimate Jedi master.
Kwi chang Caine goes to the shaolin temple to learn kung fu and he is given an old blind man that turns out to be the ultimate master of kung fu.
Hercules was put under the tutalge of a cenataur that turned out to be a master teacher of the warrior arts.
Neo finds out that the oracle who turns out to be his ultimate teacher and savior is an old Black woman that likes to bake and smoke cigarettes.
Over and over again we get the same motif. Lets make our journey easier and heed the lessons of those that came before us. Drop your preconceived ideas and wait for your answers, and hold back judgement because the one you condemn may bring you the answer to all your questions.
Nuff said
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...

In our quest for personal growth and community development, understanding the layers of knowledge is crucial. This article is not just a read; it's an invitation to transform your life. Let's embark on this journey together and unlock the secrets to self-mastery and cultural enlightenment. 1.
