The Factory-Farmed Mind: Stop Handing Your Seeds to the Machine

The Factory-Farmed Mind: Stop Handing Your Seeds to the Machine https://www.spreaker.com/episode/anchored-in-the-storm-breaking-free-from-the-conveyor-belt-and-reclaiming-our-tribe--72400931 We love to talk about liberation, but we keep handing the keys to our future over to the people who built the architecture of our oppression. Let’s stop playing nice. We are navigating a heavy season of transition, family. The world outside is loud, chaotic, and deliberately designed to keep you off-balance. Before you consume another piece of media, take a deep breath, drink your water, and ground your spirit. We are closing out the week of Umoja (Unity) and standing firmly on the foundation of Imani (Faith) . If we are going to survive the storm, we have to stay anchored in ancestral truth, not system-approved lies. An old proverb tells us: “He who does not cultivate his field will die of hunger, but he who does not rest will lose his mind.” Look in the mirror and ask yourself the hard question:...

Live @ New Harvest Cafe




Columbus Ohio has been blessed by New harvest Cafe. Every week on Saturday evenings they host live bands that come in bless the audience with music.
Last week I had a chance to hear Mark Lomax and his band. They came played a mixture of hard core old school jazz mixed with some music composed by Mr. Lomax.  The audience was caught up not only in Mark Lomax mastery over the drum, but was transported, and transfixed by Eddie Bayard on the saxophone. This was a dynamic show that has to be seen to believe.
We have just launched a show called "Live @ New Harvest" that will be broadcasting the shows over Gye-Nyame Journey Radio on spreaker for our family and friends out of town or who just can't come. For anyone who was not able to catch the show or want to listen to it again I have it available on the station now. Just click one of the links at the bottom of the screen and listen. Be on the look out for my interview with Mark Lomax about his art, mastery, music, and his album "State Of Black America".
Next week we will be joined by JCam and friends. I have seen these brothers before and it is worth the cover charge of $10 dollars. Did also mention that these events are BYOB and the kitchen will also be open. For those artist looking for a place to inspire you to write or compose bring your pen and pad, for those modern artist we also provide wi-fi so that you can get your computer connection.
I am personally excited by these event because they remind me of the old jazz spots, and juke joints that I read about when I am doing my research. It was places like these that bebop was born and then took the world by storm. For all of my artist friends we have been given a gift called New Harvest to create the next "big thang", so hopefully I will see you in the place, you never now when and impromptu poetry set might jump off.....so get ready, and I will see you soon.

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...
