  Shedding the Shell: The Power of Double Umoja he Blog Post https://www.spreaker.com/episode/shedding-the-shell-the-power-of-double-umoja--72282085 Family, we are standing at a major cultural intersection today. It's a Double Umoja day, and we are officially stepping into the 49-day Cycle of Ujamaa. But before you start thinking about building outward, we need to talk about the internal clutter you're hoarding. Are you currently fighting an internal civil war? When your intuition, mind, emotion, spirit, and physical self are tensed up against each other, unity is impossible. Many of us are out here trying to resolve communal conflicts while carrying a massive shell of hidden trouble on our backs, completely unaware that conflict is just a glitch in our communication styles. We think we need to do more, build more, and add more to our plates, but the ancestors are flashing a red light. The tension you feel isn't because you lack resources—it's because you haven't cl...

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 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...
