I Learn by Doing: A Personal Meditation on the Batak Proverb

I Learn by Doing: A Personal Meditation on the Batak Proverb "You learn how to cut down trees by cutting them down." — Batak (Batiki) Proverb That line hits different when you’ve lived it. I chose this proverb for Day 3 of Tribal Quotes because it calls out something deep that many of us are missing: the wisdom of experience. Too often, we get stuck in thought, tangled in theory, or lost in the illusion of needing to be fully ready before we act. But this proverb cuts straight through the noise. You want to learn how to cut down trees? Then cut them down. That’s it. No Flight School for Birds Flying is complicated. Aerodynamics, balance, wing structure—it’s not easy. But birds don’t have academies. They learn to fly by flying. We learn to walk by walking. We learn to talk by talking. And we learn to live by living. But somehow, we’ve been convinced that real learning happens only in classrooms, through lectures, in books. Don’t get me wrong—I value study. But too many of...

Blockage

writer's block - crushed and crumpled paper on...Image by photosteve101 via Flickr

Nothing comes through pen/

Inspiration appears to /

Have abandoned me/




As I sit down to write once again I have run into the thing known by all writers. The blockage that prevents me from being able to share my thoughts in the mode I like. The question I periodically face is how to break through this "writers block"? What works for me is to write about it, and then the thoughts begin to flow for me again. This time my blockage is not because a shortage of ideas, this time I am faced by the on rush of ideas all wanting me to express what it is that they want to say. I realized that although the thoughts come to my mind the ideas are not mine. They have selected my being to express themselves through me. For the last two weeks I have been presenting either old ideas or others writing because I don't want to leave my regular readers hanging, nor do I want to break my circle of sharing things. This helps me probably more than it helps the reader. Through this blog I have found a tool that assist me in my never ending journey to SelfMastery™. In order to publish something everyday I have to take time to sit down on a computer or my phone and write.  At this point and time this is a personal cycle that I have developed for myself (I highly suggest setting up a cycle or system for yourself as well). This cycle or system is mine and it helps me embrace the power that is truly mines.
Understand that this blog is the result of years of preparation. I make many mistakes in my writing, and this fact has prevented me for years from sharing my talents.  I have identified in blogs in the past ( I highly suggest for all new readers to check out my archives) that FEAR is a major block and takes many forms. What I have discovered through my writing and the many classes I have taught fear has many faces. In Gye-Nyame we call these the unbalanced passions. Every last one of them are rooted in our personal FEAR. The unbalnced or deadly seven as we call them are (once again for those new to the journey) fear (the mother of them all because all of them are her), pride,envy, greed, sloth, lust, and anger. When we break these down we can see FEAR is the root. For myself I was to proud for many years to publish because I was fearful of people pointing out mistakes or giving their input. I had to learn to move past that and I ended up publishing many of my works. Im still finding mistakes myself and having others pointing them out and it is not as bad as I thought. Actually it is making me better.
Back to my blocks maybe these blocks come periodically to make me better, and If I push through, maybe there is some type of prize I can find. Hell who knows. Now to you what is blocking you? What's stopping you from moving to the next level with your skills and talents. Don't overlook the importance of knowing which of the deadly 7 is blocking you. In order to overcome one's enemy you must know his/her/it's face. So take time today to explore yourself and this will help you push through your blockage as well.

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...
