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:
Today we toasted up Ujamaa, and looked at another wasted resource in our community. Unlike the other resources I have talked about, this resource is heavily under research. The resource that I am speaking of today is the gut. We have neglected and it has come back to haunt us. It was said by Hippocrates (who was a student of the KMT mystery system) "that all disease begins in the gut", and finally science is catching up with the sages of old. Just in the little time that we have been talking about the gut, we have run into at least 15 common ailments that can be traced back to our microbiome. We have been taught to break our body down into parts, and these parts work together in groups, and these groups work together to form a whole, but modern science and ancient wisdom is shutting that illusion down. The human body has it's own ecology, and this ecology works together to form us. When our ecology falls out of balance then the whole system is out of wack. We have to begin to look at the whole system and stop looking at the pieces. Part of this complex ecology is our Microbiome which is part of the gut. Our gut holds and control the wild and sometimes dangerous species that live within us. This microbiome is incredible, after just studying it for a few moments, I have been shocked to hear about all the benefits and dangers of this microbiome. Our gut is in charge of controlling these wild animals and making sure that they follow the rules of the system. When we start violating the rules, by eating processed food, taking antibiotics, dealing with dangerous chemicals and etc., we violate the rules, and thereby upset the system, causing a domino effect that ends up destroying us through autoimmune disease, cardiovascular issues, cancer, diabetes, random infections and etc.. Yes all these diseases have links to the gut, and also can be solved by learning about and working with our gut.
It is quite easy to work with our guts, and to begin to eliminate many if not all diseases that effect our people. Here are some simple steps:
*Watch what you eat (limit or eliminate processed food)
*Begin to eat culturally appropriate food, every people have a culture and an important part of all cultures is food. Each group has singled out through time certain foods that act as a staple for them. Explore your cultural roots and find that food.
*Fast, yep I said take time to fast and give your body time to heal, and reboot itself periodically.
*Breathing exercises help relax your entire body and helps you deal with stress. Stress is a major player in throwing our gut out of wack.
*Stop over medicating yourself, especially with antibiotics...
*Begin to take probiotics, which are fermented foods or drinks like "That Ambrosia"
Now I know that many of you are wondering what has all this talk about bacteria, yeast, fungi, viruses, microbiome, digestive systems, and etc., have to do with sex. Unfortunately if I have to take it farther and deeper for you are probably doing some of the shit that I mentioned to stop, and feel that you will not be effected. Here you go:
1. Our reproductive system and digestive track are right next to each other. So if our gut health is out of wack then is possible for some of the microorganism running wild to run into your sexual organs. For example yeast infections, and etc..
2. The gut has been labeled the second brain, and has a major influence over the body far deeper than just indigestion. The gut and our microbiome ensures that the digestion goes right ( no digestion, no energy for sex), neutralizes poisons in our system (can't get busy effectively when you are suffering from poison), synthesizes nutrients that the body can't make ( which keeps us healthy and frisky).
3. The gut also produces hormones (helps you feel horny), enzymes, and Neurotransmitters. Once again let me remind you that the gut is called the second brain and one of the neurotransmitters that it produces is called serotonin (it is estimated that it produces 80-90%) which is responsible mood, social behavior, appetite, digestion, sleep, memory, AND SEXUAL DESIRE & SEXUAL FUNCTION.
Fam I hope I don't have to say anymore. Now I know you are probably wondering what else can I do to get my gut right. Much of this information is covered during our 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge, which is free, and you get an incredible discount on "That Ambrosia". We will go more in depth in our coming Self Mastery/Warrior training which will take place over a 21 week period.

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...
