The Architecture of Autonomy: Setting the Standard with Kujichagulia

Check out this episode You were invited to dinner, but the feast is sitting at the very top of a silk-cotton tree. Every time you look up, the host is laughing at your short legs, tossing down fruit skins, and reminding you that the banquet is technically open to anyone who can climb. How many years have you spent staring up at that branch, furious, embarrassed, and trying to learn how to swing from limbs you were never designed to hold? The trap isn’t that the food is out of reach. The trap is that you still believe you need an invitation to eat. When Tortoise finally invited Baboon down to the flat earth, he didn’t use violence, screaming matches, or retaliation. He merely established one non-negotiable rule of the compound: clean hands only at the mat. And Baboon spent the entire evening running back and forth across the soot, washing and re-blackening his paws, trapped inside an environmental loop he couldn't conquer without standing upright.

The Microbiom & Mental Health

Peace FAM:
I am playing catch up but it is cool. I have a couple of moments before I see the doctor so I decided to pen this article.
On this video part one and two I get into the little information I have been to gather on this thing called the microbiom. I at first thought that it was about the gut, but the microbiom covers the entire body and can even influence behaviors. This organ or system in our body is estimated to have 100 trillion cells all working with in our bodies. These cells work according to what we put inside of our body by way of eating and drinking. They effect our thinking by releasing neurochemicals that affect the mood, as well as make shifts in our personality. There have been studied that connect some mental illnesses to the second brain which is another name for the microbiom.
I had to do this article so that we could look at the information and decide for ourselves if this is legit. They are still researching the microbiom and it is a relatively young field. So listen in and let me know what you think.
Be sure to take the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge. For those that want to get some inside information about the challenge and what it can do for you, subscribe to our GNJ Update where I daily update you on my personal progress and struggle within the system.

How to pour Libations

Image
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

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...
