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...

Who will remember us- part II

Capitol Hill - Washington, DCImage by VinothChandar via Flickr
"Before I answer your question..." the voice boomed back  "tell me where is the ancestral worship capital of the world?"
At this point I opened my eyes to make sure i was still in the tub and to help myself get back to the Blackness I lifted my feet  out of the water to make room for my big dunk. this is when I take my head under water and hold my breath. As I dunked my head I relaxed as much as possible to get back. In the process i thought about the question that was given to me.
Once I was back in the Blackness I attempted to answer the question. "Nigeria" I responded. There was a silence and then a booming response.
"No"
Rethinking my answer I said "Brazil" once again there was silence then a booming response.
"No"
Now I was totally confused so I just threw out the first thought that came to my mind. "how about china"
Silence fell again and then another booming "NO" echoed in my mind.
"Then where is the ancestor worship capital?"
The voice came back immediately came and said "Washington DC!"
"Washington DC, how?"
"Washington DC is a city designed to feed the ancestors of America and the Western civilization. Look at the monuments and the basic design of the city."
Now i fell silent and thought about what was shared with me. washington DC was designed as a giant monument to the ideas of America and western civilization. After sitting and thinking about the info and reflecting on my tours of washington I had to agree. Every building was indeed a shrine for their ancestors. washington DC speaks loudly about the pride and ideas of the forefathers of this country. I then began to wonder what this had to do with the original question, and as if my mind was being read the answer boomed out.
"Your Ancestors can't help you in the way that other's ancestors help them because your Ancestors are starving. You have forgotten them. Where are their monuments, and holidays."
I thought about what was said, but could not answer such a simple question. Not because i did not know the answer because I was ashamed. I was ashamed that we as a people have lost our way, and have stopped taking care of our ancestors.
I will go more indepth on the importance of Monuments and Holidays to a people.
Nuff said
Peace and 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...
