You’re waiting for a rescue that isn't coming

  You’re waiting for a rescue that isn't coming https://www.spreaker.com/episode/shedding-the-savior-complex-the-raw-reality-of-imani--70641816 You’re waiting for a rescue that isn't coming—and that’s the best news you’ll hear all day. We’ve inherited a heavy, suffocating version of faith. A version that tells us to sit tight, endure the pain, and hope someone else fixes the block. But what if true Imani isn't about acquiring more belief? What if it’s about scraping off the crust of self-doubt that the world painted on you? On the porch today, we are talking about shedding the savior complex. We aren't doing more; we are dropping the weight. Call to Inaction: “A bird does not fly higher by carrying more feathers, but by shedding the dead ones.” What false narrative about your own powerlessness will you stop repeating today? Which external "savior" (person, institution, or habit) will you stop waiting on? What heavy expectation can you simply set down right now...

Aha, Eureka, or Enlightenment


Momentary flash/
                                  Of insight into all things/ 
                                      Don't try to grasp it/





Sitting in a airport having flashes of a future time where I will be spending time traveling around the world doing SelfMastery™ trainings, and personal coaching sessions.
I saw a video in the hotel last not stumbling around the Internet. I needed to do a lot of work but I was not in a state to work, and I decided to look for some new information on the net. I had some ideas to blog about from the National Charter School Conference I was attending, plus I had some work I needed to complete before the end of the month. I simply decided to go to sleep.
When I woke up I still did not feel like touching the keyboard, but thoughts began to poke me. Taking pen to paper I allowed the Ha2ku above to flow out and now here we are.
Those moments, those fleeting moments where everything seems to make sense. They hit and seem to be gone in a flash. I have learned that to hold on to these moments ironically we have to let them go. I have found that when I try to grasp them they just vanish, but when I am willing to let them go and flow they will linger.
These moments in their self are a lesson. I'm not talking just about the insights we receive why we are in them, but the challenge they present us with after they are gone. For those that have had these moments where you are totally clear, and for a flash you see how everything works together. We can get caught up into trying to repeat these moments and end up traveling in the wrong direction.
After these moments  happen we feel a desire to not only re-experience, but some of us begin to put labels on these events. In many ways we chase the experience away by trying to box it in.
Throughout time this experience has basically been given many names, and many spiritual and religious traditions have been formed around them. This is where I have to tread gently because these moments whether they are called aha moments, eureka moments, moments of insight, revelations, satori, enlightenment, or what ever the are called are all beautiful, powerful and personal. The problems comes in when certain traditions claim ownership of these moments, and strip what you felt down to their worldview.
Right now it appears that there is a war to control the minds of the world. Science needs you to see it their way, religion needs you to see it their way, and spiritual gurus need you to see it your way. I say go with your heart, and enjoy the moment without out guilt or judgement. Reflect on your sacred moment in the way that you feel comfortable, and remember it is your moment. Don't try to bottle it up and a spread it. Give others the room to experience their moment as well. Because i believe that in the near future people will be getting more insights, and more flash moments.
For me science describe the "what" of the universe. It gives us the size, calculations, categories, and etc.. these things are very important.
Religion gives us the "how" how did we get here, how do we grow, how do we get along, how do we get to the next life and etc..
These flash moments give those blessed enough to have them the "why", like why we exist. These answer are moving and for some scary so we cling to what we know.

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...
