Ujamaa: Moving Beyond Survival to Shared Prosperity

Image
Podcast Episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-green-harvest-of-the-we--69434400 In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we speak often of moving away from the toxic cycle of BSG (Blame, Shame, and Guilt). One of the most practical ways to break that cycle is through the application of Ujamaa , or Cooperative Economics. Economics is often seen as a cold, distant field of numbers. But in our community, economics is deeply personal. It is about who we trust with our hard-earned resources. When we practice Ujamaa, we are asserting our Self-Determination (Kujichagulia) on a collective scale. We are saying that we have the power to create our own systems of support. The Practicality of Ujamaa: Intentional Spending: Look for ways to keep your dollar within the community for as many "hops" as possible. Shared Resources: Can you pool resources with others to start a garden, a business, or a youth program? Mentorship: Sharing your professional "secrets" is an act of Ujamaa. Wea...

Daily Toast- Kuumba 311171 (Release the magician)

Peace Fam
Man we are coming off a great Nia, and moving into this Kuumba. I feel like a magician, I don't know why, but I have been humming this capoeira song "Assaulta Manginga" which means release the magician. Maybe it is because I just reached 100 subscribers on YouTube, maybe because I am finally getting comments on my blog, or maybe because I just had my afternoon meal. Whatever it is I am going to ride the feeling until I can't anymore.
Now it is time for you to release the magician in your life.  Magician before they were connected to parlor tricks and morphed into politicians, were at one time very skilled workmen. They mastered there craft to a point to where it appeared they could perform miracles. They didn't have one trade they were the masters of their age. They got so good at what they did that people called them magi, which means wise. Magi is also the root word of magician, this word through time became associated with terms like super natural, to make you think that these skills were out of reach. A magician is simply a master of his/her craft. They simply cultivated the ability to create, by getting the 5 parts of their being to work together. You can do the same, and by doing so you will be able to release a flow of creativity in your life that will change it forever. Checkout the video, toast your ancestors, and let me what you think.  For those that want to checkout the Kindle edition of my book "Freedom Within Limits".
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...

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...
