Stop Scratching the Parasite: Why Your Solitary Grind Is Keeping You Bleeding

Stop Scratching the Parasite: Why Your Solitary Grind Is Keeping You Bleeding Most people aren't solving their problems; they’re just scratching their itch. You feel the sting of an oppressive system, the bite of economic sabotage, or the drain of toxic cycles, and what do you do? You lash out as a solitary warrior. You grind 80 hours a week, isolate yourself in the name of "focus," and push back with a single digit. The ancestors had a word for this foolishness: A single finger cannot kill a louse. When you press a solitary finger against a parasite feeding on your scalp, you don’t eliminate it. You just slide it across your skin. You pin it down for three seconds, tire yourself out, and the moment you lift your hand to wipe your brow, it starts feeding again. This is why our community stays exhausted—perpetually Mad at the drain, Sad about the stagnation, and Scared to trust anyone else with the work. We confuse exhausting personal struggle with revolutionary power. ...

Being successful on the Journey of life is a habit. This habit of success is built up on practices that are consistent and empowering. The warrior on the Journey needs to develop personal practices that grow into habits that move them toward their goals. By developing these habits they make their movement a fact, habits once they are cued will begin without thought. This frees the mind of the warrior to be able to create more habits that will further free him/her to create more habits so that eventually their life is full of balanced habits that move them toward a successful life and peaceful Journey.
For those that are new to the Journey and may not know too much about the Gye-Nyame system let me explain what a warrior is. When we look at the definition of warrior we find that it simple means:
“One who is experienced or involved in conflict”
Looking at this definition we find that a warrior is not limited to only a battle field, swords, spears, bows and arrows, and guns. When we look at the definition we can see that all of us can be categorized as a warrior, because all of us are involved with some form of conflict. Whether the conflict is in an office, on a computer, in a family, or through argument we all deal with conflict. I am just stating that those on the journey adopt this word to describe themselves and work to becoming the best in their personal field. We do this by practice, and eventually through practice grow habits that benefit us.
When warriors come together and practice the form a culture that is enforced by the habits of the group.
Individual warriors have habits, groups have habits, community have habits, cities have habits, and etc... When we take notice of this we not only can change our lives but develop habits that can change ourselves and some of the people around us. When a group of people come together and develop habits they become an unstoppable force for change. If this group is honest with its self they can adjust and change habits that are not successful.
My friend is where I have notice I have fallen short. By not paying attention to the power of habits personally and group wide, I have seen the growth and fall of several organizations. Now I know better and will do better.
Nuff said
Peace and 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 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...
