The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith

Image
The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith We are deep in the final stretch of 2025, Fam. Can you feel it? The air is thick right now. It’s not just the winter chill; it’s the vibration of completion. We are walking through the 7th Cycle, the season of Imani (Faith) , and we are marching toward the Great Restoration. But today? Today the fractal of time is doing something special. If you look at the map of time, the math is shouting at us. Here we are, standing in the Year of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) —where we define ourselves and speak for ourselves. We are swimming in the Cycle of Imani —believing in our victory with all our hearts. But here is where it gets interesting: We are in the Week of Kuumba (Creativity) , and today, specifically, is the Day of Kuumba . That’s a "Double-Dose" of Creativity. A double shot of that creative spark. Now, I know what the world tells you creativity looks like. They tell you it’s adding more paint ...

360 mile Quest

I am on a quest/
360 miles till/
I find my Center/

I have been focusing a lot lately on the Gye-Nyame pledge in my classes as well as in my post. As I reflect upon what was written in the pledge and the other materials of the Gye-Nyame Tribe I can't help but find new insights that have been sitting right in my face for years.
Physical fitness has been a major component of this Tribe from the beginning (UGRR days till now), but I have not been focusing on it. The bottom line is that there can be no advancement as a warrior if we do not develop all parts of our being. By not focusing the tribe on developing their physical skill, I have been depriving them of the opportunity to really push past some of those "self imposed limitations" we speak of in our pledge and handbook. The physical part of our being is the foundation in which the other aspects of our being (Spirit, & Mind) rest  upon.
2012 is the year that Gye-Nyame heads back toward the underground, and begins to train all 3 parts of our being equally. Starting with our running. Running is a major piece in our fitness journey. For a Gye-Nyame Warrior running will become an activity in which all aspects of our being are developed together. We will discuss that in our classes, workshops, and future articles.
Right now I am developing a 360 mile quest for everyone involved with Gye-Nyame. The goal is to get the entire Tribe running. Those who are serious about finding their "potent center" will join the 360 mile quest. The goal is to get everyone to promise to run 1 mile per day and by the end of the year accumulate at least 360 miles. I will developing a form that can be used to help keep track of miles that each individual run. At least one weekend a month I will be offering group runs to help people develop their stamina for their personal prayer runs or moving meditation (run).
For individuals to be promoted a certain amount of miles will have to be accumulated as well as an initiation run whose length will depend on the level of rank, of course the higher you go the longer the run. It is time for us to begin to look at the spiritual and mental side of working out, and use that as a motivating factor to get us off our asses and into our workout (or you can say worship). Think about it if we look at these runs as meditation time, prayer time, or devotional time it will be easier for some us to move.
It works toward our enemies advantage when we look at our physical fitness as drudgery. We need to make these times important and fun so that we can stay consistent.
For those willing to take the challenge here is the link to help keep track of your miles:

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...

Peace FAM: I am running into some powerful information about the power of the breath. I have been dealing with the concept of axe' in the breath for a long time, but now I have found scientific proof of the power of the breath, and even more importantly how the breath is taken in the body.

Humbleness As A Tool

Image
I have noticed that many people lack humbleness, I guess that this principle has been dismissed as something that is old fashion and has been thrown on the scrapheap of history. Humbleness, I have found to be a necessary weapon of a warrior. Humbleness is one of the major principles that need to be honed and sharpened in the old and young.  How can you learn if you have no humbleness? Yes high self esteem is important, but for some reason humbleness has been removed from the concept of esteem and replaced with false pride. In order to learn we have to be able bow our heads, close our mouths, and open our two ears. There is no learning without a humble heart. In order to learn we have  be willing to admit our ignorance about a situation. Admitting ignorance requires humbleness which  is important and can not be done by someone who has confused pride with self esteem. Admitting ignorance to someone or an institution is the first step to being able to gain the knowledge the...
