  The Counterfeit of Freedom: Why Breaking Chains Means Nothing If You Cut Your Roots The matrix has a funny way of selling us a lie packaged as a luxury. It looks like hyper-independence. It sounds like "I got it on my own." It feels like standing completely alone on top of a hill, isolated from the very people who prayed you into existence. But let’s stop playing nice and look at the diagnostic warning our ancestors left us from Uganda: "If you cut your chains you free yourself. If you cut your roots you die." We have been conditioned to confuse isolation with liberation. We get so consumed with running away from the struggle that we run away from our culture, our history, and our collective responsibility. We are moving through a critical shift right now—vibrating under the frequency of Umoja (Unity) as we anchor ourselves into a cycle of Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) .

Confusion is a powerful force, that cause us to mislabel and misplace things. In our confusion about our emotions we have mislabeled scared, and misplaced it in the wrong emotions group. This has caused so much confusion for me. For years I thought I was angry, and I get never understand fully why. I struggled with this anger, I fought with this anger, and  I spoke about this anger. Never realizing that in my confusion I mislabeled fear (scared) as anger. My whole life I have been socialized to maginalize fear (scared), even take it out of my personal language, not realizing that I was crippling my self as a whole human being. Getting rid of part of my guidance system that would help me get back to who I really am, or better yet what I truly am Powerful, Peaceful, and Joyous. The natural state for all of us.
