Protect your Seed

  Protect your Seed https://www.spreaker.com/episode/protect-your-seed--71106863 Have you ever stopped to realize that your need for right-now comfort might be the exact thing destroying your future? The Fulani people of the Sahel have a saying: "Mo nyaami aawdi mum, nyaami janngo mum" —He who eats his seed, eats his tomorrow. In our community, we are constantly pushed to consume our potential. We are bombarded by a society that tells us to numb the pain, buy the illusion, and seek the instant fix. But what if real Faith (Imani) isn't about blind hope or grinding harder? What if faith is simply what’s left when you scrape off the desperate need to control everything? The victory is already there, but you can't see it if your vision is blocked by the heavy baggage of immediate gratification. In today's podcast, we talk about shedding the illusions that make us eat our own seeds... Call to Inaction: “To hold the water, one must first empty the cup.” Stop trying to ...

An interview with Umar Ben Hassan on spreaker

For those of you that don't know who Umar Ben Hassan is maybe you heard of the group he was part of "The Last Poets". I had a chance to chop it with this Elder and listen to him tell me how he hooked up with "The Last Poets". His story covers every part of the heroes Journey, so I didn't need to ask questions. He laid the truth out and even discussed with us how he developed his most famous piece.
After listening to him, I could do nothing but laugh because he showed me how the universe works to get us where it wants us to go, and how small of a world we really live in. So take a few minutes and get acquainted with an Elder on the Journey.
Nuff said
Peace & 1hunidyears

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...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
