Flip the Pancake: Why We Must Stop Volunteering for the Bottom

  Flip the Pancake: Why We Must Stop Volunteering for the Bottom https://www.spreaker.com/episode/reveal-the-wealth-within--72476452 Family, let’s stop playing nice and look at the architecture of the matrix we live in. This system we contend with isn't the work of some flawless, invincible global mastermind. Stop giving them that much credit. The truth is much uglier: we are dealing with insecure, narcissistic structures that stumbled onto a simple trick that works. They realized that to build an empire of false success, they needed a permanent bottom. And to make it simple—because they don't like heavy thinking—they marked that bottom by the color of our skin. But here is the hard truth we have to look at in the mirror: A system can only maintain a bottom if the people on the bottom agree to stay there. When we operate in survival mode, a critical mass of our people—even just ten percent—fall for the trap. They become the custodians of their own confinement, managing the floo...

Humbleness As A Tool

I have noticed that many people lack humbleness, I guess that this principle has been dismissed as something that is old fashion and has been thrown on the scrapheap of history. Humbleness, I have found to be a necessary weapon of a warrior. Humbleness is one of the major principles that need to be honed and sharpened in the old and young. 
How can you learn if you have no humbleness? Yes high self esteem is important, but for some reason humbleness has been removed from the concept of esteem and replaced with false pride. In order to learn we have to be able bow our heads, close our mouths, and open our two ears. There is no learning without a humble heart. In order to learn we have  be willing to admit our ignorance about a situation. Admitting ignorance requires humbleness which  is important and can not be done by someone who has confused pride with self esteem. Admitting ignorance to someone or an institution is the first step to being able to gain the knowledge they may have to share with you. But if you act as if what they have to give you is of no value why should or would they share their hard earned knowledge with you.
It appears that many people believe that they are entitled to the knowledge of their elders, schools and etc., but the fact is we are owed nothing. It is against the very laws of the universe that you get something for nothing, including knowledge. When you receiving knowledge from someone our payment for this knowledge is our humbleness that we give to the person serving us by teaching. This is why the role of the teacher has always been so respected throughout time. The Teacher serves the community by giving their knowledge with their students. Yes they may be paid for this with money or objects, but the ultimate payment to fully receive what the teacher has to give is or humbleness. 
Being humble is hard work and we are repaid by the lessons we receive. I am not suggesting that a person need to be a silent robot, but we do need to be silent and pay attention. We can ask question but this must be done with respect. Humbleness is just another form of respect that is a gift that we give to those that give us gifts of knowledge and skill. Our humbleness paves the way for us to receive greater knowledge and eventually wisdom.
So in the coming year be sure to embrace the weapon of humbleness and wield it with strength and power and watch the growth you will achieve.

How to pour Libations

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...
