Whose Story Are You In?

  Whose Story Are You In? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/sovereign-soul--71852579 We talk a lot about building—building businesses, building families, building legacies. But have you ever stopped to ask if the "nest" you’re building actually belongs to you? In the week of Ujamaa , we often jump straight to the "cooperation" part, but today’s principle of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) forces a difficult question: Can you truly cooperate with the Tribe if you haven't yet defined who you are as an individual? The tension is real. We are taught to fit in, to be "good employees," and to follow traditions that might be "magic birds" designed to keep us stuck in the past. But sovereignty isn't about doing more; it’s about shedding the noise so you can finally hear your own voice. Call to Inaction: "The bird does not add more feathers to fly; it sheds the weight that keeps it grounded." Stop for a moment and reflect: What "c...

The Wolves and the Sheepdogs

This fable is an important one that we need to really look in depth at. This fable brings up the idea at least for me of who to trust, slick talkers, and the subtle differences between people. Many of us have been confronted by at least one of these issues in our lifetime, and if not, you soon will. Aesop had a way of putting stories together that was simple but gave a profound lesson to those willing to read and learn.

Lesson 1:

Who to trust- how many times have each of us been faced with a crisis of trust. Who can and who should I trust is , I believe a common struggle. Learning to tell who is trustworthy is one of the most important skills that we will ever be faced with.

Slick Talkers- Beware the the silk tongued devils, they have a way of weaving webs of deception that can send you down the road of destruction.

Subtle Differences- Be aware of those small differences that separate you from others. Differences that we may ignore can cause us many issues, some of which may be bodily harm, as well as lost of life.

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...
