https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-golden-path--69809303 Are You Just Busy, or Are You On Purpose? Most of us spend our days reacting to the world around us. We move from task to task, but at the end of the day, there’s a nagging feeling that something is missing. That "something" is the vibration of Nia. In today’s episode, we discuss why having a purpose is more than just a personal goal—it is a community obligation. We touch on the "Unbalanced Seven" and how they rob us of our potential, and we look at the specific African tradition of restoring our people to greatness. If you feel like you’re running in place, this conversation is the shift you’ve been waiting for. But the real secret lies in how you apply it to your own territory.

Peace FAM:
Wasted resources are killing our community. Especially resources that we have control over. I am going to hit on some sensitive ideas in this article and the video so I need to warn you advance.
I woke up and started thinking about the role of gender in a culture, and asked why were they important. Gender roles were established to help bring order in the culture. Each individual was assigned roles at birth, as well as from the community. These roles helped to advance the society. The interaction between the genders produced the life that enabled the culture to exist as well as the community that adhered to the role. Now in these days and times these roles have been allowed to slip into each other forming whole other groups of individuals. Now where you stand on this is your business, and is not part of my discussion, but it is something that I felt that I need to cover. We as Africans in America, also known as Black folks are in no position to be arguing about these gender roles. We are at this point and time I believe in a battle for our survival and need to focus our energy on re-building our Culture, and building our Nation. The gender debate is taking up needed time and resources. If you are comfortable in your skin then so be it, but be willing to get in the role that you claim and bare the burdens that come with it. Their is power in the Masculine and the Feminine that I believe that we are leaving on the table, and because we are not tapping into it our communities are falling apart, and our culture is being degraded and defined for us.
Now those who have been following me know that I have personally come to the conclusion that Culture is the most important thing. I believe that from the culture people learn how to deal with life and all of the hurdles it throws at us. From culture we learn how to deal, with our God, our emotions, relationships, careers, business, money, politics, war and everything else in life. Most importantly we learn how to become men and women, and understand what that means. We develop a picture of the world that will lead or can lead us to a thriving state rather than exist in survival mode. We have been stripped of our Cultural software, and have been given the knock off software of a west Asian culture which does not benefit us one bit. Within this west Asian knock off code that we are following it has a virus in the operation of gender. Please understand that gender is bigger than man and woman, it is the foundation for creation. Not just of life, but of ideas that lead to personal, and group advancement.
So take some time listen in and let me know what you think, and remember it is not to late to take the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, and join us as we move toward self mastery.

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 “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...
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...
