Stop Donating Your Life-Force to Barking Dogs: The Heavy Stride of Ujima

Stop Donating Your Life-Force to Barking Dogs: The Heavy Stride of Ujima Every minute you spend typing out an angry paragraph to prove an internet troll, a jealous coworker, or a bitter spectator wrong, you are committing spiritual treason against your own destiny. You claim you want power, sovereignty, and nation-building results, but you move with the nervous reactivity of a stray dog. The moment someone snaps at your heels, you drop your tools, throw your hands up, and start barking right back. Across East and Central Africa, the elders left a proverb that cuts through this modern fragility like a razor: “The barking of a dog does not stop the elephant from walking.” ( Mbwa akibweka haizuii tembo kutembea ). An elephant doesn't hold an emergency meeting because a mangrel is yapping at its ankles. It doesn't break its stride. It moves with deliberate mass and ancient memory because it has an entire migration to lead, a calf to protect, and deep water to find. Barking is the ...

Creating A Tribe Mind

 

The tribal mind is a powerful way to think and solve problems. The tribe can see things that no one person in the group can see. We have all heard of the old adage that "two heads are better than one". Imagine multiplying that by five or ten. When we get into our tribe mind we are able to achieve a synergistic effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When we are in our tribes we also have more fun, enjoy more laughter and have more joy in life. It is much easier to communicate when we are with others who are like us. It is easy to fall into rapport with people who share your values and principles. You can go deeper and faster when you are with people who are on the same path as you are. It is important to find your tribe and be involved in their activities.

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...
