The Toxic Lie of the "Self-Made" Hustle: Why You're Running in the Wrong Direction

The Toxic Lie of the "Self-Made" Hustle: Why You're Running in the Wrong Direction Listen to the episode here Look around you. We’ve been conditioned to worship the "solitary grinder"—the hyper-individualized hustler out here trying to secure a bag in total isolation. We wear our exhaustion like a badge of honor, completely blind to the fact that this capitalist, materialist matrix has us running like madmen on a treadmill going nowhere. Our ancestors had a diagnostic code for this exact madness, preserved in the soil of Yoruba and Igbo wisdom: "A toad does not run in the daytime for nothing." Think about that. A toad belongs in the cool, quiet shadows of the night. If you see it frantic, hopping wildly under the scorching heat of the midday sun, you don't look at the toad and think, "Wow, look at that independent go-getter." You know with absolute certainty that something is deeply wrong under the surface. It’s either running from a pre...

Before I get old


 Before I get old

I want to be a part of the greatest story ever told,
before dreams deferred for time bought and sold.
I want to see the world and be sure she sees me
before I get old, before I'm too old.
I want to ride a train and use my passport,
then play a tennis match on a grass court.
I want to go to the opera just to fall asleep
and pretend to pay attention as my wife weeps.
I want to capture the sun and drink from a cloud,
stand on the mountain top to shout out loud.
I want to tell the greatest story that I've ever told,
of life lived to the fullest, before I got old.
The journey begins, the adventure is bold,
a life that's worth living to have and to hold.
I'll become the legend, the hero unsung,
 riding off in the sunset,
but right now I'm too young.

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...
