The Creative Fire of Active Faith

  The Creative Fire of Active Faith https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-creative-fire-of-active-faith--72224195 What if your faith isn't working because you're carrying too much baggage to actually move? We talk a good game about believing in our traditional greatness, but we keep our hands full of corporate clutter, false narratives, and old habits that don't serve our destination. We want the brightness of innovation, yet we cling tightly to the safety of our stagnation. Today, on this day of Kuumba, we look through the red lens of Imani and confront a heavy tension: the universal truth that some folks simply don't believe fat meat is greasy until they slip. Are you waiting for a miracle to drop into a cluttered house, or are you ready to clear space for the fire to burn? The power isn't in what you add to your day—it's in what you choose to release. Call to Inaction "What does not strengthen should be released, for it is a false treasure." Before y...

To thine ownself be true- Hip-Hop fable

This story was inspired by a tale by Aesop called the "astronomer".


Once their was a young MC, who had won many battles in his city. This MC was able to copy and style and master it. He constantly listened to the music of his favorite rhymers and could out flow them on their tracks. One day this young MC was invited to a studio of a top producer to demonstrate his skills on the mic. This was the day that this young MC had been waiting for. He listened to his favorite artist all night preparing his rhymes for his session.
When the artist entered the studio, he was immediately walked to the booth by this legendary producer. The beat was dropped and the MC was challenged to drop some rhymes freestyle. The Mc felt like he was up for the challenge. The beat dropped and the MC cut into like fire and his flow seemed to him to be perfect, but the producer stopped him and said the lyrics was hot but it sounded a lot like "Lil Sam" which just happen to be one this young MC's favorite artist.
The producer dropped the beat again and once again the young MC cut into the beat and this time he lost himself, but once again the producer stopped him this time saying that he sounded like "Snafu" which was another one of this young MC's favorite artist.
This went on for an hour or 2. The young MC never made it all the way through the track without being stopped and accused of ryhming like someone else.
Finally the producer got upset and kicked the young MC out of the studio and told him not to return until he found his own voice and style.

How to pour Libations

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...
