Seize Your Destiny: Shattering the Illusion of Waiting

Image
  Seize Your Destiny: Shattering the Illusion of Waiting Stop Waiting Greetings, Family! Brother ha2tim here, inviting you on a transformative journey from the shadows of anticipation to the light of action. This narrative is a clarion call to all who have been caught in the snare of waiting for that 'perfect moment' or the 'right opportunity' to manifest. Let's unravel the fallacy of waiting and illuminate the path to empowerment, self-determination, and cultural resonance. The idea of waiting for a miraculous change is a seductive illusion that hampers our growth and dims the brilliance of our potential. Here's how we can break free and step into our power: The Myth of the Perfect Moment: Understand that waiting for the perfect moment often leads to missed opportunities. The perfect time is now, in the actions we take and the decisions we make. Self-Selection is Key: Embrace the concept of choosing yourself. The world is waiting for your light, but first, yo

Support the Journey

Image via Wikipedia Support the Journey/ If you can't buy book or tip/ At least click an add/ Sitting at my youngest sun's graduation, showing my support. Thinking about kicking myself for even thinking of missing this day for work. The "bottom line" and work will always be there, but days like this for my son are not repeatable. The funny part is that I decided to steal a few minutes after getting him ready to drop a blog about support. Thanks for reading the journey and checking in everyday. Hope that it is helping you through your day. In the same way the Journey needs you. Support the work that we do by purchasing a book, leaving a tip, a comment, or just click an ad. When you do this you make it easier for members of Gye-Nyame to focus and bring you quality updates, news, stories, quotes, and proverbs. So help us by purchasing, tipping, or clicking....

The Baba - Chapter 8 part IV

Image
Image via Wikipedia “Good question. Kwesi why don’t you answer that for him.” Kwesi looked at me very seriously, turned his chin so that he was looking directly in my eyes. “Young man a vision quest is a very serious thing. Do you remember in your initiation anything being mentioned about the Simba Nation?” “Yes…..Ha2tim was inspired to form the club by Simba. It is a camp that meets once a year, and it puts young men through a Rites of Passage. Everyone in order to be raised in rank past royal must assist in some fashion.” “Ha2tim received his first sweat lodge experience through Simba, and brought it back to us when we were financially and mentally able to handle it. We also found out about the vision quest through his research. The vision quest is a personal journey that is taken by someone to receive clarity in their life. It is in a sense a initiation by fire. We have five hundred acres here and for brothers in the Midwest this is where they come for their sweat lodge and f

The Baba - Chapter 8 part III

Image via Wikipedia “Jay, sit down.” I sat down and Simba took his place and Kwesi came and took a seat as well. “I’ve called some brothers here to help you through your ordeal. Kwesi is at the Master level and a few more brothers and sisters are on their way. I want you to eat and relax for a few hours while everything is in progress. “ “Yes, Sir…..” “You have questions?” “Yes.” “Well feel free to ask.” “First of all, where are we?” “We are in Southern Ohio at one of the families fish farms .” “What is done here?” “We grow fish , man.” Simba and Kwesi broke out laughing. “For what?” “To sell of course. We have fisheries and farms all around the country, and they pull in a lot of money for the family. At this particular farm we have five well stocked ponds that produce hundreds of thousands of pounds of fish per year.” “I have never heard of majestic fish farms?.” “Have you heard of Papa Joes, the home of the Secret lover Fish Boat?” “Hell yeah!

Image via Wikipedia “Angalia” Malik yelled and everyone stopped what they were doing and faced the stairs. I went along with everyone else. Simba was coming downstairs. “At ease Brother and thank you for the respect.” Everyone in the immediate area greeted him. “Jay come with me.” I followed him out of the patio door and into the garden. He sat on the bench and I remained standing in angalia. “Relax Jay, I brought you out here to talk with you. I want to explain what is about to happen.” “Yes sir.” I sat down next to him. “The family is at a crucial point in our development, and we need people around that really have the group’s best interest at heart.” “I understand Sir.” “The next step for you is to get clarity on why you were chosen, and for you to find your Nia.” “I know my purpose, and that is to serve the club and to build this nation.” “That is what you have been taught to say. Is that what’s really in your heart?” I grew silent because in a way he was right. Ever since I ent

"A now I can die" moment

Image
Image via Wikipedia A perfect moment/ in which all seems to dissolve/ and work together/ Hopefully you have had a moment in your life like this. You divorce yourself from the past and not hindered by future possibilities. Life appears to work  for you to bring everything together for you. In these moments I find a peace that often eludes me when I seek it to hard. These types of moments can't forced they just appear. You may not be able to force these moments into existence but you can coax them by proper planning, and developing the ability to know when you are in these types of moments so that you can extract as much from them as you possible can. With practice these moments stop being random experiences and can become permanent ways of existing. That is right we can develop our lives to be a constant "now i can die moment", all we have to do is begin to realize that our past is not here any longer, and stop fretting the future. When we let the past be just tha

The Baba - capter 8 part 1

Image via Wikipedia Chapter 8 When I made it to the Men’s House, it was time for workout . Every morning we are up for prayer, meditation, and workout. This morning Silace was leading workout. He had been in the Club four years and made it to the level of Royal. He was reaching for his promotion to Grand. He still lived in the Men’s house to save his money, for what I don’t know. He was upset with me for coming in late. We worked  out and ran 3 miles. After the workout everyone came in prepared for day and left. I waited for everyone to leave before I packed up my few belongings to keep questions down. At 7:55 Malik pulled up in a black Benz. I was waiting on the front porch. I was going to miss the house. I had spent the last six months communing with brothers from Gye-Nyame House. We did everything together, I finally found a home where I could call home and I was leaving it for what I had no idea. The best part of the Men’s House was the it was safe. I never had to worry about op

Number 7

Image
Image by Leo Reynolds via Flickr Seven looks backward/ Study, rest, and perfection/ It's view of the world/ Discovered that I had not completed the number system so here you go and we complete the reat of the numbers before the end of the year. After this one we only have 2 more to go, and then maybe in 2012 I will try to wrestle with the zero... Seven is the masculine number that represents study rest and perfection. This is a crucial number in the process of development. Because in order to move forward it mus look to the past. This number is very similar to the indinkra symbol Sankofa. To look back the number 7 must stop, and rest and in its resting it builds power to move to the next level.  Perfection is a process that requires proper rest and study. When we study we sit still and focus our mind, and that is important when we are dealing with this number. It is said that if we do not obey the mandate of 7 and continue to try to move forward.
