Stop Chasing the Leaves: Why the Consumer Matrix is Killing Our Roots

Stop Chasing the Leaves: Why the Consumer Matrix is Killing Our Roots Let’s stop playing nice with the systems that are actively draining us. Everyday, we are bombarded with the toxic gospel of the hustle—told to stack another gig, download another finance app, and buy into external validation. We’ve been conditioned to trade our cultural inheritance for temporary, cosmetic luxury. We are out here changing our leaves to survive the corporate winter, but we are letting our roots rot in the process. The Amharic proverb explicitly warns us: "Don't abandon your foundation; even trees change their leaves but keep their roots." Our foundation is Ujamaa —Cooperative Economics. But we’ve allowed a predatory system to distort our vision, turning us into the ultimate consumers instead of the ultimate creators. Think about the old tale of the maiden and the magic fish. Her husband couldn’t stop demanding more—more property, more status, a bigger empire—completely devoid of gratitude...

How To Find Your Tribe

The first and most important step to finding your tribe is a deep, internal realization about the kind of person you are. To find your tribe, you must first understand who you are. You must understand what you want from life, what you must have to be happy, and what's most important to you. Your understanding will change over time, and that's okay. But in the beginning, it's important to have a clear idea of who you are and how you want to live your life. Next, you need to do some research on your people your tribal DNA. Who are they? What do they want? What do they need? Where can you find them? What platforms or places exist where they congregate? How can you communicate with them? Once you've done the research and answered these questions, it's time to put yourself out there. This can be scary at first - especially if this is something new for you - but don't let that stop you! Get started right away! Once you've found your tribe, the reward is worth it. You'll be helping people who need it and getting help when you need it yourself. You'll feel a sense of community far beyond anything else in your life. You'll start feeling really good about yourself.......

How to pour Libations

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...
