  Are You Afraid of the Sweetness? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/facing-the-bees-for-the-honey-of-ujamaa--71341065 Everyone wants the "honey" of economic freedom, but most of us are terrified of the hive. We’ve been conditioned to buy our liberation one "plastic bear" at a time, never realizing that the security system protecting the resources is exactly what we need to master. Today we are looking at Ujamaa —not as a "business plan," but as a state of being. We explore why the "bees" in our community are necessary and why the "Green valley" within you is currently blocked by the debris of "me-first" thinking. Are you a reservoir, or are you a river? Call to Inaction “The tightest fist holds the least amount of gold.” Today, stop trying to calculate your "solo" exit strategy. Release the need to prove you did it all by yourself. What consumer habit can you stop today to keep your resources within the "hive...

Will & Ujima:Will Power, Ujima and the Purpose of Our Community

 Will? What's will? That's the topic of this week's episode of The Will & Ujima podcast! Will is something we all have inside us, but what is it really? The dictionary says that will is "the capacity to decide what to do." It also says that will is "the power to determine one's own actions independently of outside forces." So we have the power to make decisions for ourselves, and those decisions can affect our larger communities. Will can be a powerful thing, and when we work together, we can use our will for some


pretty great things. We've seen it time and time again throughout history: when people come together in fellowship to work for a common goal, amazing things can happen. And the more people you bring together in fellowship with your common goal, the more amazing things can happen. So I'd just like to take a moment right now to thank you all for listening, and I hope you enjoy this episode!

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

  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...
