  Scrape Off the Labels: The Kujichagulia Purge https://www.spreaker.com/episode/scrape-off-the-labels-the-kujichagulia-purge--70991525 Ever notice how exhausting it is trying to "build" your identity? We spend decades stacking affirmations, buying clothes, and chasing titles just to feel like we know who we are in this world. But what if your true self is already there, just buried under years of buildup? Today on the Gye-Nyame calendar, we sit in the deep Indigo of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination). Most folks think determining yourself means inventing a new you. But on the porch, we know better. The world has spent your whole life plastering labels on you—some of them so tight they feel like your own skin. The work isn't to put on a new mask. The work is to scrape the old ones off. We're discussing the power of the purge on today's episode of Tha Daily Spark. We’re dropping the heavy bags of blame, shame, and guilt, and stepping out of the mad, sad, and scared ...

True Nation Building


Here is some more samples from a future book as well:

True Nation Building

            Nation building first is a personal endeavor.  We have to have the courage to change our lives.  This no small statement, if any organization with plans of longevity does not first deal with the development of its members it is destined to crumble.  We believe that the sincere Nation Builder is always in process of developing and learning about themselves.  By first learning about ourselves we are able to follow the process of Nation Building.  Contrary to the title we do not start on a large scale.  We begin by building ourselves.  This is why to enter the Tribe a individual must go through an initiation process.  We first build the person, and after they complete the initiation process they must take their lessons to heart and move to the next level.  The levels of Nation Building are:
Self
Family
Clan
City
State
Region
Nation
            It is important that the Tribe develops through this process, growing to fast can be dangerous.  We must take the principles, and values developed in our personal initiation and utilize them in our family.  The next step takes us to organizing clans.  A clan is a group of families that have decided to work together.  Clans progress to tribes, tribes combine into states.  States to regions and regions combine to form a nation
            The most important part of a nation is its people.  The purpose of any nation should be the upliftment, improvement, and protection of the standard of living of its people.  A Nation Builder has to be committed to these ends, and in this commitment work to better himself/herself so that they may be true in their chosen role.

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...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
