Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Peace FAM:
Of courser you know that if you follow my videos, I am always a day behind with the post. Morning rush catches up with me, and a majority of the stuff that I do is from the heart (except when I am reading to you). It is marvelous that we are growing, I believe that "If it comes fast it don't last, but if it comes slow it's good to go". I personally believe that as the audience builds we will be able to do great things. As more people begin to read, and take the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, we will build a tribe like no other on the Internet. My goal is to eventually be able to meet with some of my distant family members in workshops, and on my travels. Just the other day I was sitting sleep in the barber chair when a Young man came in and woke me up asking was "I the guy that do the Daily Toast", I couldn't do anything but smile because slowly but surely the message is getting out. The fact of the matter is that we lift our Ancestors up they lift us up. I am a firm believer, and it has been proven throughout my life repeatedly. I finally got out of the realm of fear, and moved to create something where I could speak my truth, and those that join the tribe can share theirs as well. Need to let everyone that checks out my videos, podcast, or just read the blog you are extended family, and you are welcome to leave a comment and even e-mail me an article and I will post it on the blog. Please understand this is about us building, not me building. Enough of the heart felt rant, I am high from my fast and the words are flowing, so know that this will be a regular part of my system. By the way I am planning to fast for the Summer Solstice any one that is interested in joining me hit me up in the comments.
Now let's get into today's video. First off my vibe was off, I woke up at around 2 after having a strange dream about some immigrants that lived in a town outside of a college. Everyone was poor, and west Asian. Now let me be clear I was not in this dream I was an observer, and I noticed that I have been having these type of dreams while I was on this fast. I don't know whether the dream was a premonition, historical event or place, or just a script that I need to write. I went back to sleep, and woke up to turn of my wake up clock which rings at 3. The Timely app that I uses takes you through stages as it wakes you up, so a light song goes off to make you aware that the alarm will be going off to get you prepared, so that you can gradually start waking up. My alert went off I got up picked up my phone, and the next thing I remember it was 3:30am and I was was confused because I just sat up, but I had a nagging feeling that I had lost some time. I grab my phone and it is not plugged in so that battery is low, I grab the charger so that I can still get the video together for the show, and find out that the tablet as well has not been charging all though it is plugged in. Lastly I started the toast with out turning on the YouTube camera. So Apologize for my morning hick ups, but hell "such is life".
Today we revisited the power of Dandelion root, as well Burdock, and Cayenne. We talked about what ailments they have been used for in the past, and found that all of them are excellent daily tonics to add to your regiment. I also put together a a parasite killer drink as well. I will be creating detox drink that will focus on cleaning the blood, the liver, and killing parasites. Stay tuned for news on this, the recipe will be focused on "That Ambrosia Vinegar", and it's health maintaining properties.

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...
