Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap

  Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap We’ve been hoodwinked into believing that struggling in silence is a badge of honor. Across our neighborhoods, Black men and women are wearing themselves into early graves, carrying the weight of entire worlds on their shoulders, and convincing themselves that asking for a hand is a sign of weakness. That isn't strength. That’s a glitch in the program. On Day 36 of our 70-day Ancestral Algorithm cycle, under the regal purple glow of Umoja (Unity), we are dismantling the lie of the solitary warrior. The system taught us to glorify the isolated figure suffering alone in the dark. But our ancestors saw right through that trick. The Akan elders gave us the raw truth: "Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one person can embrace it with their arms." Think about that. A single baobab trunk is massive, ancient, and unyielding. It doesn't matter how strong you think you are—you cannot wrap ...

Salvation

Finding salvation/
Through moving to my limits/
Run, Gye-Nyame, Run/


While doing a Warrior training, we began discussing the importance of the Pledge to our organization. We began to walk through the pledge as a group:

"I am a Gye-Nyame Man and I was born for greatness, My greatness flows from my Potent Center.
I Pledge to find and connect with my Potent Center."

 At this point the question was raised about our personal center, and being able to harness the power it holds. Our discussion first hit the points around the personal power that each of us have, but then the discussion turned from the mysterious power, to the location of our center. We often discuss the power of the center but we never talk about how to find it. Through the process of elimination we discovered  that we had a bunch of fancy names for where our center lies (soul, mind, chakra, and etc..), but we had no definite directions to the center. From here the warriors began to ask QUESTions. Through these questions we discussed one of the methods that Gye-Nyame tribe uses to find our center, RUNNING.
Yes I said running, this sacred art that has been equated with pain and misery is the key that not only can help you connect with who you really are, but was a major contributor to our species ability to survive. Through running if you are able to surrender yourself to it, fall into a rhythm, and relax will allow you to connect with your center. In this state problems will be solved, miracles will happen, ideas will rise, and health will be improved. You have to push yourself to your limits to get plugged into your Potent Center, and running is one of the major ways to push yourself to your limits.
So get out and join us, run to the store, your job, school, and etc.. Allow the power of this sacred art to help heal you. Did you know that in some culture running is equal to prayer, and is a form of meditation. When you run you fall into a trance and move into a a peaceful state. So enjoy, and maybe I will run into, or with you soon.

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...
