  DEFINING FAITH THROUGH SELF-DETERMINATION https://www.spreaker.com/episode/defining-faith-through-self-determination--72160798 Have you ever noticed how easy it is to let a broken system define your boundaries? We talk about having faith, but who are we putting our faith in? If the crocodile eats its own eggs, what makes you think it has your best interests at heart? Today we are diving into a dangerous tension—looking at Imani through the sharp lens of Kujichagulia. We are pulling back the layers on why your current path might feel crowded, and why the ultimate act of self-determination isn't about adding more to your plate, but scraping off the illusions you've been forced to carry. Are you living your true purpose, or are you just a lion trapped in a herd of sheep?

Hearts over Mind

We have been fighting/
for the minds of the people/
when we need their hearts/

I was blessed to go on a radio show last night called the UnderGround RailRoad chronicles. We were supposed to discuss my books, one thing led to another and we began talking about many different subjects. Brother Mustafa was very upset about the state of our community in Columbus, and felt that he knew who to blame. After reflecting on our conversation it became clear to me that the Africentric movement went in the direction that it has because we had focused on feeding the mind, but neglecting the heart.
Don't get me wrong there is absolutely nothing wrong with knowledge, and dwelling on the who, whats, wheres, whens and hows, but if you really want to capture the people we have to focus on the whys. It is the why that touch the heart and move the soul. Why is a question that moves us toward the heart and emotions. When we provide a WHY the people will create the whats, and hows. As an organizer I am am coming into this knowledge late in the game, but now that I have figured it out, World watch out.
Those out there on the Journey focus on building your why. Get to the heart of the issue, and your body will follow. It has always amazed me that you can give yourself, and other people all the information about a subject, but in the end they seem to always go with there heart. Jumping over the facts, and statistics that are provided. In your personal work have you been able to get the response that you wanted. If not perhaps you may need to strike for the heart, and allow the mind to follow.

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...
