  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...

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.
