Stop Donating Your Life-Force to Barking Dogs: The Heavy Stride of Ujima Every minute you spend typing out an angry paragraph to prove an internet troll, a jealous coworker, or a bitter spectator wrong, you are committing spiritual treason against your own destiny. You claim you want power, sovereignty, and nation-building results, but you move with the nervous reactivity of a stray dog. The moment someone snaps at your heels, you drop your tools, throw your hands up, and start barking right back. Across East and Central Africa, the elders left a proverb that cuts through this modern fragility like a razor: “The barking of a dog does not stop the elephant from walking.” ( Mbwa akibweka haizuii tembo kutembea ). An elephant doesn't hold an emergency meeting because a mangrel is yapping at its ankles. It doesn't break its stride. It moves with deliberate mass and ancient memory because it has an entire migration to lead, a calf to protect, and deep water to find. Barking is the ...

I woke up this morning and began moving on the toast, but I was sore beyond belief. I feel like I was in a car accident. I attempted to do my workout after the axe' breaths, and had to give up the ghost. At that time I took some advice that one of my elders gave me about health. He told me that when ever he didn't feel right that he would back track 3 days, and find what brought on the ailment. Of course I followed this wisdom and found what was going on. Except mine did not start 3 days ago, but maybe 6 months. For a majority of my adult life I had been sleeping on a futon, a firm mat that was laid over wood or directly on the floor. When we moved I started sleeping on a bed, and the mattress is wearing me out. Combine that with not getting enough sleep over the past few days, keeping a regular light workout regiment, and viola'.
Today you will get the toast, clean up, axe' breath, and discussion. I had to keep it short. My apologies. stay tuned because we will begin building back up to our regular scheduled program.

Now to the issue that I woke up with on my mind. Today I want to discuss "The Voices", we all have the voice, and since we are on Umoja which also shares the day with the Hermetic Law of Mentalism, I thought that this would be a great time to discuss the voices, that for many have plagued us by spouting out negativities. This voice has away of making every thing we come in contact with or even try bad. This voice is mental manifestation that we will have to carry out a personal war against in order to move to the next level in our life. This voice is our personal dragon that we will have to slay to get access to the treasure of our souls. This dragon has fed on every negative event that has occurred in our lives up to this point and appears at certain times to be unconquerable. Let's take a few minutes on this Umoja to talk about this beast and how to tame him and use him to catapult us in our life. So watch or listen in.
Here is the August KNT.N which is the new name of our monthly magazine. Check it out and let us know what you think. Here is a link for the PDF for those who can't open the flip book KET.N
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 Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
