Are You Answering to a Name You Didn’t Choose?

  Are You Answering to a Name You Didn’t Choose? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/stripping-the-labels-the-power-of-self-definition--71490701 We step out the door and the world starts throwing labels like wet blankets. "Minority." "At-risk." "Disadvantaged." We wear them until they feel like skin, but they are just heavy burdens designed to slow our velocity. Today on Tha Daily Spark, we’re talking about the "Princess with the Crooked Back" and why her teacher, Sage, called her self-perceptions "noise." We’re looking at the trap of "blind velocity"—the modern obsession with moving forward so fast that we forget to turn back and fetch the values that actually sustain us. Is your "progress" just a fast-paced escape from your true self? Call to Inaction: Drop the tool that doesn't fit your hand; the forest is cleared by the sharpest mind, not the busiest. Stop asking permission to define your own reality. Today, id...

Daily Toast- Ujima 322171 (Our Collective Responsibility)

Peace FAM
Once again we are blessed to sit down and toast our ancestors. I am grateful that this idea hit me. This process get's me up at unspeakable times in the morning, got me learning a new skill, constantly have to be thinking, and lastly be able to free style on a single topic for long periods of time. Hard but as the ancestors teach "The best life is achieved through sytematic process" and I have system. Actually I have thank all of you that have been tuning in and checking the articles, listening to the podcast, and viewing the videos. I am feeling good about the direction and rate of growth, and I am looking forward to the future challenges that may come. So those of you that are on GNJ get ready because when the challenge hits me it will also be looking for you. Just consider the fact that challenges are what makes us move into our greatness, no one has ever made change from a comfortable position.
Today we talk about Ujima, and I am stressing the fact that we have a collective responsibility to not only work on ourselves, but we have to build up our tribes and communities for our future generations. We have the responsibility to not only leave our children in better positions but we must leave them a different set of problems to deal with. Our people can't keep fighting the same problems and make progress. Each generations is supposed to not only solve an issue but crush and reform into a stepping stone for our progeny. We have a lot of work to do but FAM it can get done, of course with your help.
Nuff said
Peace & 1hunidyears

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

  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...
