Drop the Weight of the World

  Drop the Weight of the World https://www.spreaker.com/episode/drop-the-weight-of-the-world--71015334 You think you're helping your community, but what if you're actually holding it back? We throw around the word "Ujima"—Collective Work and Responsibility—but most of us are practicing it backwards. We’ve been conditioned to believe that being a good friend, a good family member, or a pillar of the community means sacrificing our own peace to carry everyone else’s chaos. Are you playing the savior in a situation where the other person doesn't even want to be saved? Are you gripping so tightly to the idea of "family loyalty" that you're suffocating your own joy? There is a massive difference between building together and bleeding out together. If your version of community work leaves you drained, bitter, and exhausted, you aren't practicing Ujima. You're just repeating a cycle. Call to Inaction A hand clutched tight around poison cannot accept...

Set yourself on fire

Sparks of fireImage via Wikipedia
Set self on fire/
and crowd will gather,spark jumps/
now others aflame?

when we jump into what we are doing totally with out holding back we literally set ourselves on fire. fire has always attracted others. People will gather around to watch you burn, and in watching you the flame that is what you do will inspire others to also to follow their passion there by setting themselves a flame.
When people watch others burning with passion the sparks from that one spreads to those who are ready to burn themselves. this is how revolution or change is sparked. A actual example of this just happened in 2011 when an individual that was so tired of this life and the injustice of the society that he lived in got tired and literally set himself a blaze. The sparks of what he did and the reason why he did it jumped through the people who seen it and those who heard about it. His solitary act caused sparks to fly, and hit the dry wood of the souls in the middle east, and now we are experiencing something called the Arab spring. This one man's act caused a chain reactions that may change the face of the world.
now I am not saying literally set your self on fire, but in a metaphoric sense you have to set yourself a blaze. Find your passion and be willing to light your fire to move toward making it a reality for yourself. You never know what effect it will have in your community, and even the world. You may be the dry piece of wood who soul sparks will fly through the air setting others on fire.
On this Journey we have to be willing to set ourselves on fire to get things moving. We have to be willing to tread where everyone else fears. If not then we are just sheep being led to the slaughter. I believe that those of you are not sheep. I believe that you are the one the world has been waiting for, and it will be through you putting out that book, or writing that blog, or singing that song, or dancing that dance, or inventing that gadget, or supporting that person you believe. When we begin to light up we provide a light for the world to see and they can begin there journey, and when they light their soul up the glow from you and them will provide light so that people can really see the world that they exist in and begin to ask question, and from those questions others will begin to light themselves a blaze, and we will begin a fire that will purify and change the world.

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...
