Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Gye-Nyame Magic

Magic is the art/
Of using wisdom in life/
Not slight of hand tricks/
I am constantly thinking of concepts and looking at them in different ways. I look at what is presented to me from as many angles as I can. My goal is to develop ideas that can help me move closer to SelfMastery™. The concept of magic is one of the topics that constantly draw my attention. We have been shown and taught that magic is a super secret art reserved for the very few, or its a matter of the hand being faster than the eye. I have to step back and think about what magic really is.
When I look at the word magic, I cant help but to brake it down and by braking it down i get a deeper look and new understanding of this art. When we look at the word magic, if we step back a little, another word pops out from the beginning of the word that sheds some light on this subject: Magi- priest, wo/men of wisdom. Could it be that magic is nothing but applied knowledge, or better yet a magician could mean a wise person that applies knowledge (wisdom) to shape the outcome of an event.
This means that everyone could be a MAGIcian, better yet if we go even further and look at some other names that were applied to people who appeared to be MAGIcal we can see the consistent theme of a person of wisdom coming out. For example the word wizard. Wiz- wise -ard - one who is wise. Now many of us is looking for some ritual or connection to other realms when these words Magician, Vizier, Wizard, and sage all describe individuals who because of their study could make or do what seemed impossible possible.
The most important power for these individuals in ancient times was the ability to predict. This was an important skill to have. Being able to predict important events, at one time would have seemed incredible, when now we know and understand that their are yearly cycles that most people can look at easily tell whats coming next. Magic is far from mysterious. Magic is being able to apply your knowledge to events and make the out come benefit you or your tribe.

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...
