The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith

The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith We are deep in the final stretch of 2025, Fam. Can you feel it? The air is thick right now. It’s not just the winter chill; it’s the vibration of completion. We are walking through the 7th Cycle, the season of Imani (Faith) , and we are marching toward the Great Restoration. But today? Today the fractal of time is doing something special. If you look at the map of time, the math is shouting at us. Here we are, standing in the Year of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) —where we define ourselves and speak for ourselves. We are swimming in the Cycle of Imani —believing in our victory with all our hearts. But here is where it gets interesting: We are in the Week of Kuumba (Creativity) , and today, specifically, is the Day of Kuumba . That’s a "Double-Dose" of Creativity. A double shot of that creative spark. Now, I know what the world tells you creativity looks like. They tell you it’s adding more paint ...

The Baba - Chapter 6 part 2

Home Roasted Coffee BeansImage by FreeWine via Flickr
 Chapter 6 cont.

It was almost six months before Simba stepped back into Brother’s. He looked as if he was under a lot of stress. He checked the books, and reviewed a report on everyone from Wise. Then he disappeared again.
Wise came into the kitchen and called me outside. “Jay I don’t like prying into your business, but what is your relationship with Baba Simba?”
“He is my sponsor.”
“What!? How long have you been in our house?”                        
“I completed my initiation 6 ½ months ago.”
“Well Baba asked me to give you this.”
He reached into his pocket, and gave me a cowry shell. Cowry shells in the club represent rank. After my initiation I received one shell signifying I was a Brother in the organization. Receiving my second shell was a sign that I was being moved up to the level of Majestic.
“He asked me a lot of questions about you. Far as your work ethic, and I gave you good marks. It seems that he has plans for you. I was in the organization a year and a half before I was moved to majestic. Congratulations and keep up the good work. I will inform everyone of your promotion. Baba Simba also requested that you meet him here after closing.”
I was shocked and thrilled, but I felt uneasy about the after hour meeting. I had no idea of what to expect, and I did not even know how to deal with Simba or Baba Simba because it had been a long time since we talked.
“Oh, there is one more thing, he told me, “ you would not be working here any more.”
“What!?” now I’m really confused. “Did he say why?”
“No, bra you know we just follow orders. We don’t have to understand the whys, we just do. I trust Baba Simba and his judgment. In the last three years of my life I have witnessed him do amazing things in and with the Gye Nyame House so I trust his judgment.”
“Thank you Wise.”
I walked back in the kitchen wondering what was going to happen. I really enjoyed what I was doing. Now, the only thing I could do was wait.

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...
