The Weight of False Loyalty: Stripping Down Ujima

Image
The Weight of False Loyalty: Stripping Down Ujima We’ve been sold a lie wrapped in cultural pride, and it is breaking our backs. For generations, the Black experience in America has glorified obligatory suffering. We’ve been conditioned to wear the titles of "Strong Black Man" and "Strong Black Woman" like badges of honor, when in reality, they are often just heavy yokes of trauma. We take on the "Black Tax," assuming the debts, the drama, and the dysfunction of everyone in our bloodline and our zip code. We mistake trauma-bonding for true tribal building, and it keeps us completely anchored in the lower frequencies of being Mad, Sad, and Scared. Today, we are vibrating on the frequency of Ujima —Collective Work and Responsibility. Bathed in the cool, deep hues of royal and light blue, Ujima is often misunderstood. Folks hear "collective" and immediately start gathering everyone else’s problems, saying "yes" until their own spirit is bo...

Woke up late today, my journey to Simba begins today. Within first five minutes of meditation was in a zone of peace. The only conflict was that my mind started playing with my magic words (mantra), spelling it in different ways. I did not fight the thoughts nor did i get involved with them I just let them pass. By the time my meditation time was over it felt like it was to short.
My son sat with me today, and when he heard the final bell he wanted to make sure I heard it as well. So he called me to get my attention. No insights today but i feel like i have some clarity and can deal with all my issues today.

Another late night or should I say early morning meditation before sleep. Today I was able to make it all the way through. I actually felt extremely good. My body was relaxed and my mind was clear. When I laid down for sleep I was out it seems when my head hit the pillow. No major insights today, but hopefully this will be come a habir.

Today in my meditation I drifted off. Before I knew it the ending bell rang. I found myself sitting longer as well. I wasnt sleep nor was I awake, but when the final bell rang to end my meditation I was not in a hurry to get up. I followed my breath as long as I could, and then I just let go. I dont remember any thoughts, dreams, or more importantly my imaginantion was not running wild.
During last night meditation i had to stop early. Early I did maybe 7 minutes. I was extremely tired. I went straight to sleep after that.

My tank is on empty or should be. Although I spent the day resting I was not able to goto sleep until 2:30am, but I was able to meditate before I went to sleep and when I awoke. I am feeling good, but I am seeking feeling great.
My mind settled down almost immediately, and I was able to focus on my word of power. Then my word began to fade in my mind and I hate that relax state. Before I knew it the bell to end my session had hit. O know there is a Ha2ku and blog in there, just dont have time to pull it out.
I wish you a happy journey today. Join me on my experiment with meditation for 30days, and through fb, twitter and the blog we can encourage each other. Leave a comment and I will contact you.
I could use an OXYwater right now. If you don't know what that is checkout ... tryOXYwater.com
Peace

This was my first time using this tool and it was very helpful. I suggest it for all those on the journey to check out to help with meditation practice.
My mind was drifting, and would not focused but by staying consistant i was able to move my mind to place of rest, but once again i applied effort to hang on and last the state but that is what practice is for.

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...
