The Scarcity Simulation: Why Your Crown is Slipping and How to Reclaim Your Axé

The Scarcity Simulation: Why Your Crown is Slipping and How to Reclaim Your Axé Pull up a chair on the porch, family. Take a slow, deep breath, expand your chest, and let’s sit with today's medicine. Today, we are standing flat-footed on our journey, moving under the vibrant, green, and fertile frequency of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) . Let’s stop playing small. Economics is infinitely deeper than mastering the digits in a bank app; it’s about mastering the flow of divine resources and recognizing the raw power already sitting in our rooms. Too often, the Western matrix tricks us into looking right past our own wealth. To truly step into Ujamaa, we have to view it through the lens of Ujima (Collective Work) —understanding that our collective economic sovereignty only awakens when we lock arms. In The Warrior Handbook for Life’s Journey and The Player’s Pyramid (available at ha2timgyenyame's Author Page ), we are reminded of a hard truth: your internal resources must align...

Cultural Legacy


I was given a challenge, and I accepted. I have to develop a character building curriculum for a school and implement it throughout the year. This means that I had to do some research to add to what I already have in my head. I was fortunate enough to run into a book that I had been told to read before, but I let it pass. The title of the book is "Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell. Excellent book, and I also had the fortune of running into a app called Audible.com that allowed me to listen to the book on the move and make notes. I would suggest this app for all those on the Journey.
Enough of my commercial and to the meat of this blog today. After listening to the book and Malcolm Gladwell stressing the importance of "Cultural Legacy" in the development of people, the question of what is my cultural legacy? Many may not think this is an important question, but after listening to "outliers" I have to strongly disagree. In the book the author was able to make connections and compare different peoples success, but the one thing that it always came back to was the person's cultural legacy. As a African-American I could not help but look back into my history, and ask what exactly is my generation being set up for. I have not doubt I and my generation is being put in a place of greatness but in order for me to know or at least have a clue of what it is I need to peer into my cultural legacy. So I will wrestle with this question for the next few weeks.

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...
