Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

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...
