The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith

The Hammer and the Vision: Wielding Double Creativity in the Season of Faith We are deep in the final stretch of 2025, Fam. Can you feel it? The air is thick right now. It’s not just the winter chill; it’s the vibration of completion. We are walking through the 7th Cycle, the season of Imani (Faith) , and we are marching toward the Great Restoration. But today? Today the fractal of time is doing something special. If you look at the map of time, the math is shouting at us. Here we are, standing in the Year of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) —where we define ourselves and speak for ourselves. We are swimming in the Cycle of Imani —believing in our victory with all our hearts. But here is where it gets interesting: We are in the Week of Kuumba (Creativity) , and today, specifically, is the Day of Kuumba . That’s a "Double-Dose" of Creativity. A double shot of that creative spark. Now, I know what the world tells you creativity looks like. They tell you it’s adding more paint ...

The Daily Toast

The "Daily Toast" is a project that I started as a part of the #nguzosabachallenge. The challenge is  a simple idea that came to me during the Kwanzaa season. During Kwanzaa those of us that participate in it focus on the 7 principles for a whole week. The question that hit me is why couldn't we continue this practice throughout the year. Being a man that loves, and understand the power of symbols, I began to focus on the number 7. In -Nyame Journey the number seven is the number of study, rest, and perfection. I figured since there are 7 days in the week, why not replace the names with the principles. it seemed like a fair idea for me. The western world never had an issue with forcing their world view and symbols on us, so consider this as my symbolic push back.

The name of the days never symbolically served Black folks anyway so it only made sense to me to replace the Greek, and Nordic god names with principles that would empower me and whoever else used them. Once I shared the idea, I began to do a short toast that blossomed into what it is today. Now I use the Toast to not only talk about the principle of the day, but to toast the Creator, and the Ancestors. That then grew into a daily cleaning ritual, and experimenting with some healthy life hacks. At this point I am experimenting with oil pulling, cold showers, isometrics, kettle bells, and the axe' breath. The goal is to inspire you to do similar things.

With the toast I promote building healthy habits. We start the toast with a glass of water to help the axe' flow in our body. Then we toast our Creator and the ancestors with a health drink, of course I drink "That Ambrosia", but you can drink what you have. I do the toast in the morning but you can feel free toast when you have time. I consider this a daily libation that we pour inwardly rather on the earth. I also focus this libation on the personal ancestors, and I suggest you do the same. I believe our personal ancestors are often overlooked for the popular people in the struggle. However you decide to do the libation is up to you, just do it. Feel free to join me on a daily basis as we explore the nguzo saba, the 7 hermetic laws, and the 7 principles of Maat. I believe that liberation first begins in the mind, and we can learn to control our minds by using our cultural symbols to guide it. So grab your glass and fire your symbolic shot and join me for the "Daily Toast". I will keep it going as long as I can. You can follow the toast on YouTube to watch the video, or you can listen to the podcast on my Spreaker station. Just type in "ha2tim" or "nguzo saba challenge" in the search bar and it will pop up. or just stay tuned to the blog. make sure you like, subscribe and more importantly share.

Peace & 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...

Peace FAM: I am running into some powerful information about the power of the breath. I have been dealing with the concept of axe' in the breath for a long time, but now I have found scientific proof of the power of the breath, and even more importantly how the breath is taken in the body. My friends and family it has finally been proven that breathing through the nose is the best way to breath, but it has also been shown to help an individual over come or better control obesity, impotence in life as well as erectiel dysfunction, diabetes, insomnia, anxiety, depression,      cardiovascular issues, GI disorders, and etc.. Proper Nostril breathing  helps strengthen  the immune system. This is a simple process that each of us can do to take control of our health.
