Before You Build It Up, Tear It Down: A Call to Conscious Community

Before You Build It Up, Tear It Down: A Call to Conscious Community I was sitting still—thinking. Letting the mind wander across proverbs , ancient texts, and what's happening now. One idea kept circling back like a hawk over fresh prey: “Before something great can be built, it must first be broken down.” You’ll find echoes of this in the Tao Te Ching , in Proverbs , and in the ancestral wisdom of Africa . “If you want to kill a fool, give them a bag full of money.” That one hit me sideways the first time I heard it. It didn’t say “fight the fool” or “educate the fool”—nope. Just bless them with abundance they ain’t ready for, and the destruction will take care of itself. And I can’t help but see that playing out in real time—in our politics, in our people, in the nation. Collapse as a Setup, Not a Setback Look, I don't usually date my writings, but let’s keep it real—it’s early November, post-election season, and a whole lot is shifting. Layoffs coming, benefit...

Daily Toast Ujima 1202-5

 Peace Fam:

We made it to another day, which means that we have another chance. another chance to seek out our Principles, and the principle of the day is Ujima. Ujima stands for collective work & responsibility, take some time out and seek out this principle. It is floating out there waiting to be discovered, and used. Find it and empower yourself and your Tribe. 

Tribe is a term that if you have been listening or reading anything that I have created in the last 5-10 years, that is heavily used. The term Tribe speaks to me in a way that no other word in our lexicon does. Tribe is an ancient concept, and for human beings I believe that it is necessary. Tribes function to bring large groups of people together so that they can work together to survive, live and eventually thrive. Tribe like anything else can be missed used, and become destructive, but this reflects more on the group than upon the concept. If a group of thieves came together and formed a tribe, then the central theme of that tribe would theft. You should nothing else. The idea of Tribe is a reflection of the user of the idea and will magnify what the creators intent is. This is why in Gye-Nyame we talk about a Tribe using the term accountability group, that is why we form our Tribe around the Principles of the Nguzo Saba, The story of Gye, and other ideas that move our members to move toward their personal greatness. The Tribe provides (or should provide) certain protections and reminders that helps the member move toward their greater self. For me this is Ujima in action, and I hope that you have a healthy Tribe to belong too.

That's all I got today:

Be sure to Join us on the Daily Toast we usually start on the weekdays (Umoja to Nia) between 6:45 & 7:00am. On the weekends you have to catch me when you can!!!

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...

Peace FAM: I am running into some powerful information about the power of the breath. I have been dealing with the concept of axe' in the breath for a long time, but now I have found scientific proof of the power of the breath, and even more importantly how the breath is taken in the body.
